July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[puppycat]

I won't know where baby is until 34 weeks - don't have another appt til then. I think the 6 weeks between 28 and 34 week appts is a bit much tbh!

 

[TTCinBC]

I dont think mine will turn. Be nice if he would. Relieve some of the pressure of his head in my ribs, but im having the c-section, so guess it doesnt matter in that regards if he turns lol

He will kick me when he doesnt like how im laying either lol

And 6 weeks is outragous puppy! I see mine every 2 weeks now since 28 weeks and at 36 weeks i go every week.

 

[puppycat]

I know right! It's such a long time to me. She has said if I want to go in between I can but then I just feel bad when I know I shouldn't until 34 weeks.

 

[TTCinBC]

Is that long of a wait normal though? Or was there a reason your appointments have such a huge gap?

 

[puppycat]

It's normal for your second time round, they tend to see the first timers more and just leave you wait if you've done it before

 

[TTCinBC]

Well that's kind of silly! Just because it's your second doesn't mean something can't or won't go wrong. I guess though you can request the visit in the middle. Do you have to wait a long while after your 34 week visit too?

 

[puppycat]

I'm not sure, I think from there its every 2 weeks

 

[TTCinBC]

So Ive been given 2 possible dates for my c-section. Makes me really happy to have a better idea of when it is. They have given the hospital either Aug 3rd ot Aug 6th. Just need to wait and hear back from the hospital as to which one. Thing is...the 6th is a stat holiday here in BC, so I cant see them booking it for that day. So unless the 3rd is packed full, it should be the 3rd!

 

[puppycat]

Eek! That's even less time to wait!

 

[DHime]

Wow.
Part of me wishes I knew when it was gonna happen for me. My HR dept keeps nagging me about when I am leaving. Ummmm when I go into labor! Then they ask, when will that be? (this is a woman who has had 2 kids btw if you can beleive it) It's as though they just want me to schedule it. Um, not going there people unless it was a life or death issue.

 

[TTCinBC]

Yep, 7 weeks left for me!

That would irritate me if my employer kept asking me that! All they wanted to know from me, since im on sick leave is, when my mat leave is going to start.

 

[jmandrews]

It may sound odd but I wish baby would kick my ribs! Seems he's still breech, eek turn baby turn!

Everlee has never kicked me in the ribs and she is head down. I think she is too low to kick me that high. haha so i am happy I never had to feel that pain in my ribs.

 

[DHime]

JMA - Lucky you. I am envious. My little guy has has a foot there for 2 days. I wonder if he is stuck.... Either way he is long. I hope that is where his weight is. His dad is 6ft 4 so who knows. lol
The prospect of labor is becoming more and more real.

 

[struth]

Isn't it just! I've been really chilled out about labour but I have to admit that in the last week or so that the anxiety has been kicking in a little. Oh well, it has to happen and we will all get through it! Nothing we can do about it now! He he!!

 

[puppycat]

Tell me about it. Major anxiety about labour now! Lol x

 

[apple_20]

It's getting like that for me too. Seven weeks and I'll either have a baby, be having a baby or willing him to hurry out!

 

[NellieRae]

I'm glad its not just me starting to worry about the labor & childbirth around the corner!

Dhime, with a DH that tall, its very likely your little guy could be, too. I have a friend who has a 6 month old baby girl like that. Mom is short, but DH is super tall, and their baby is a long lean one, with her little legs dangling out of most of her clothes.

Puppy, I agree that it doesn't make sense for so long to pass between appts....being pregnant once before doesn't provide immunity from complications for life. Crazy! Don't feel bad if you want to ask for an appt in the middle there - if only to pee in a cup, check your bp & your little one's heartbeat.

 

[TTCinBC]

I don't know if I'm having a lot of anxiety about the birth. I was having more when I thought I was going to be trying a vbac just because it's so risky, but now that I'm having the section, I just feel like...Ok, this is what's happening and that's that. I'm of course still worried about any complications because hey! It IS major surgery which ever way you look at it. I think I'm most anxious about the recovery to be honest. I'm starting to remember the pain those first few weeks! I'm just going to will myself to heal quicker this time, lol

 

[DHime]

I guess it is true... no way out of the pain for any of us. I am hoping top just ignore it till it hits. I am a total panicker so I am sure it will be interesting.

Anyone else having issues with the bump?
Mine is hard as a rock most of the time and it's weirding me out.
Plus it is so sore...

 

[TTCinBC]

Mines been sore on and off the last week or two. I just figured it's because my skin is stretched to it's max(or atleast that's how it feels) and my uterus is stretching it even more then it is now. So I will get hard sore spots sometimes. Honestly feels like I should have a bruise there, lol

Sometimes I wonder if it's baby with a knee or elbow pushing out, but I can't quite tell.
