July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

Ok yeah I thought so. I didn't think they would change it. I am perfectly fine with that It is crazy because I was a tiny baby and my husband was 6 lbs at birth. So maybe she is going through a growth spurt. I am very relieved though because she has a 2 vessel cord instead of the normal 3 and one of the risk is low birth weight. So far she had no problem growing. I can tell my baby is cramped for space now. Definitely not feeling the kicks and punches as much.

JMAndrews - Congrats! My twin just thinks I have lost my mind. But then she is single and living the party life. I am kinda envious. Part of me would love for her to go theu this with me. Unfortunately we don't get along so it's rare that even talk.
I know what you mean about the movements changing. All I get these days is the constant kick to my bladder which I think might be bruised or something. Since he is still breech they said I should get used to it. lol


TTCnBC - Good lord! that far ahead? wow - I have known many women who have been induced due to size. FX no one here has that happen.

AFM - Got my glucose test tomorrow. FX for that. Otherwise I had to go shopping for a dress yesterday for a wedding and I just couldn't beleive how pregnant I look. Almost didn't recognise myself. DH saw me changing and said "holy cow! what happened? you got huge!" of course I somehow controled my punch that wanted his face at that moment but he was right after all. I dread the scale tomorrow.

DHime, its funny how different clothes can make us look, isnt it?! I have some shirts that make me look "regular" sized pregnant, and other shirts that make me look like I'm due tomorrow!

 

[TTCinBC]

LOL I agree with the clothes. Some make me look bigger and some make me look smaller. It's weird. And some make my bump look like the perfect round little bump, I love those ones! lol


Well, I think we've decided against a vbac. I just saw my OB today for the first time and well, I know he wasn't trying to, but he freaked me right out!

I always knew there was a risk to myself with a vbac, I wasn't aware that there was such a risk for baby with one. At least there is here in my town. It's mostly due to how the hospital is set up. I don't live in a major city, and yes we have a good sized hospital, but it's still small compared to some.

Anyways, basically the chances of a uterine rupture here is 1in100 to 1in200. And if it ruptured, baby's oxygen would be in jeopardy and he could die or have some development issues after due to lack of oxygen. And I just don't think that's a risk we're willing to take. I could also loose my uterus if the damage was bad enough.

He was also flat out and said based on my DD's birth, he did not think I would have a successful vbac. (he was my OB then too)

DH doesn't want the unnecessary risk or stress of the vbac now. So I think it will be a repeat c-section.

i know that's hard to hear but at least they are giving it to you straight. you know the risks now you can weigh them up yourself.

look look Im 30 weeks today- that seems like a huge milestone to me

I've had colostrum since before 20 weeks. Maybe 18ish weeks? Was only when they were squeezed, but now they leak on their own. It's totally normal!



So I had my growth scan yesterday, and we confirmed that he is definitely 100% a boy! It was the same tech as last time and last time she said she was leaning towards boy and went on about how she could be wrong, and this time she just chuckled and said, Oh yea, it's a boy! lol We could even see his little boy parts on the screen. Was no denying it then! lol

And we even got to see his chubby cheeks! On a normal 2D scan! I was pretty amazed with that! The picture posted, you can see his chubby cheek on the one side. Well Mr.chubby is weighing in at a whopping 3lbs 7 oz. Which is from what I gather, on the larger side for 29 weeks! Last scan he measured 4 days ahead, and I have a feeling he'll be a bit more then just 4 days ahead when I see my doctor next week.

 

[jmandrews]

Im not having any leaking and nothing comes out when i squeeze my bbs. Hope I am able to breastfeed. I would feel better if I saw something.

Baby Everlee is weighing two weeks ahead right now. When I was 29 weeks she was 5 days ahead. haha i guess she has hit a growth spurt. I am not feeling like a whale. I really don't see how my belly could get any bigger.

Ohh how much is she weighing?

 

[Torz]

Dont worry love, you'll be able to BF. I had no sign of anything comming out of my bbs with my first pregnancy, i squeezed & nothhing came out but i BF'd my son, infact i have an over production of milk. Even now with my second pregnancy i can squeeze & nothing comes out but there must be something there because i am still BF'ing my son. Not regular now, just once in a blue moon but i know he is getting something because i've seen it in his mouth lol

 

[jmandrews]

not sure what she weighs now, but at 29 weeks 3 days she weighed 3 lbs 7 oz. and then at 30 weeks 4 days I was measuring at 32 weeks. So I am sure she is 4 lbs or a little over. Yeah I hope my milk comes in right after i give birth we will see. i have nothing to compare to because she is my first baby. Thanks for telling me that thought it makes me feel much better

 

[DHime]

wow. Ihadn't even thought about leaky bbs and when I saws your posts, had to try it. oh yeah. I got some. wierd
worse though. I am getting a cold. really sucks

 

[Bug222]

am not getting any leaking either JM... im sure it will come with time

 

[puppycat]

so it's not jus t me having a cheeky squeeze?

 

[KozmikKitten]

<--no leakage here yet!

 

[DHime]

though I told my dh and all he wants to do now is squeeze the girls. lol
i am cold meds and now it stopped.
I hate getting sick

 

[TTCinBC]

Ive been waking up craving the oddest things. Anyone else?

 

[DHime]

No weird craving here
I just got back from the hosp.
Apparently my cold made me all dehydrated and I started having contractions. Who knew that could happen right?! Oddly I thought it was gas pain so I almost didn't go to the doc. Wasn't till it continued for 7 hours that I felt something was up.
Anyway the nurse was a student apparently and blew 3 of my veins (ouch btw)
Finally they just let me drink a bunch of fluids. (um could have done that without sticking me like pin cushion!)
