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!)

Aw sorry to hear that, hope your feeling better now. Lesson to us all- drunk lots of water!
 
Apple - Thanks. I am all bruised up but feeling a little better today. Definitely gonna pay allot more attention to how much water I drink from now on. But I did learn what contractions feel like so some good came of it.
 
oh wow that is scary. glad you are starting to feel better!
Water is definitely important! DH and I went up to the lake this past weekend and our cottage doesn't have air conditioning. It was a high of 97 degrees with humidity! which make if feel like it was over 100 degrees outside! I was worried I should be out in the heat like that. I drank a ton of water and stayed in the shade in front of a fan. Luckily it cooled down at night so i got some relief. This weather has been super abnormal for the month of May. Our average high is 75 degrees!
 
aww how horrible Dhime!! I hope you are feeling lots better!!!
 
yeah its been unseasonably hot here too.

Just been to the midwives and she thinks it sounds like I have pelvic girdle pain (PGP) because im getting pain in my groin when getting up etc. boo.
anyone else seem to have this? she suggested swimming and yoga for me. (never done yoga and not sure this is the time to start!)
 
apple, that sucks about your PGP - I haven't had anything like this. If there is somewhere you can swim, I'd race there pain or not! :haha: But prenatal yoga should be fine - just start easy and don't expect yourself to be able to do everything right away. It doesn't take too long before you can keep up. I never took yoga in my life til I was 18 weeks pregnant, but now I love it. It all takes more energy with a bigger belly, but is worth it to me.
 
Glad to hear your okay DHime :) Water has become my best friend since this heat wave has hit NY. Only negative about it, is it kicks up my potty breaks to about 5 in 15 minutes lol. Glad we have central air, too. Hard to believe I only have 8 weeks left until LO is here :D And my birthing classes start tonite too! I'm super excited to finally start them and see what everything is about. I have decided to do a water birth or at least try for one, only because I want a natural birth, no medicine no nothing, and I'm most comfortable in the water. I think I was a fish or something in my past life bc I would live in the ocean if I could. That and everything I've ever seen/been told from other moms is that you seem to contract a little faster and easier if your body is relaxed which is something that water does naturally......so I'm praying that when the day comes, everything goes the way it should.
 
Yeh i feel your pain Apple, i had it with my daughter too so it started much earlier this time :(

Just been making red, white and blue paper chains for our street party Monday

I have this same pain too!!! i was just looking it up online earlier. It is so painful. I haven't seen my Dr. to ask her about it. I don't like swimming haha so maybe yoga for me. :)
 
I've had this since earlier on in my pregnancy. It's really no fun at all!


So I've been looking for a Doula in my area, and it's seeming like they are all booked up already! Seems to be lots of women having babies the same time as me.

I wish I had thought of a Doula much earlier in my pregnancy, but oh well, what can you do. Will just keep trying and see if I can find one. I just don't think my area has too many is the problem. Because I just don't think I will be trying for a vbac if I don't have the support of a Doula. I need someone on my side of things. Because I have a feeling I will have lots of people trying to push the c-section on me.

I start my birthing classes today too! I am so excited!
 
Funny thing. I just called for a class and got in for a class that starts today.

strange though. I am getting abdominal cramps again today. I am so not liking this. I have drank so much water (waaahhhh) today.
 
So it seems quite a common thing then. It makes me feel like an old woman when it hurts to get up. I'm going to try swimming again this week. But I'll be back at work next week so unless I go at a weekend when it's packed i doubt I'll have the energy to swim.

Sorry to hear the cramps are back do you think it's bh?

I can't wait for classes but mine arent till I'm 35/36 weeks!
 
I've actually decided not to do the classes this time around. I feel like I got everything I could from them the first time around. It was nice though, since when I took them it was my first pregnancy so I really didn't know what to expect. Mind you, my birth went so off track from what I thought it'd be like, lol

I've been thinking more of prenatal Yoga this time. Need to get my butt into gear lol
 
I think Baby E has moved head down. I think it happened today when I was at work. I felt crazy movement all of a sudden that last a long time. It was different than usual movements I have felt. I also have bad groin pain. It hurts especially when i get up from sitting or laying down. It feels like I pulled a muscle. Anyone else felt this? I really hope she has moved head down. It gives me some hope that I will have a vaginal birth.
 
Hello ladies,

Just wanted to post my 29 week pictures taken monday

Bump was measuring 2 weeks behind when i last visited MW last week, hoping its grown some.

Off to MW drop in this afternoon, yesterday & today baby dosent seem to be moving much & i'm getting a little worried. Hope its just a growth spert.
 
You look great Torz! I asked hubby if I could put on a bikini to get some sun and he laughed at me! Then looked at me like I was crazy. :)
 
Very cute bump loving it.

Sounds like baby could have turned as when head engages I hear you get pelvic pain. Unfortunately you can also get this when lo is breech. Where are your kicks now?
 
Is anyone else here using a Doula? And have you had issues with your DH/OH getting used to the idea?

Mine's being a bit of a pain about it as he thinks having a Doula will take away from his role in everything. What he doesn't seem to understand is, I've decided I won't try a vbac without a Doula and if he keeps kicking up dirt about having one, then we'll just end up with a c-section and his role will have been completely taken away. He's agreed to meet with her next week, so all I can do is hope he comes around.
