Kat- not much longer for you! hope baby comes soon to give you relief. Hope you are feeling better.

Kozmi- haha my Dr. told me that i have a few weeks left, but I honestly don't know how. I am completely out of room in there. She is head down and as of tuesday I am 1cm 50% effaced. I hope that she comes soon so that my twin sister can come home to see her. I need to have her within the next two weeks for that to be possible. I am going to ask on Tuesday if she will strip my membranes. so Fingers crossed!

yay full term today!!! woo hoo watermelon!!!
 
Had my consultation they are going to try and turn him on Thursday. I'm very nervous though I know it's the only chance I have to avoid c-section. It's a tough choice
 
Apple, I hope we hear good news from you after your ECV attempt on Thurs! Its a really tough decision for sure. :flower:

I'm heading in that direction too, though its a little early for me to be able to try it (and I'm undecided on that.) Meanwhile, its a life of being on all fours & upside down, burning incense at my toes and trips to the chiropractor.....I swear every time she's active and I switch to a better "turning" position, she stops moving. :wacko:
 
Nellierae- i do that too, i reckon he's comfy where he is as he has always been like that.
 
I had read that if you put something warm near your pelvic area and then something like a bag of frozen veggies(wrapped up of course!) on the top of your tummy, it's supposed to encourage them to flip around. Not sure if you ladies have tried that yet?


Hope your LO is doing okay DHime
 
Yes, I realize that everything I'm trying might not work at all. I think she's always been comfy sitting on my bladder, too. One of my friends IRL is about to go in for her c-section this week b/c her baby is stubbornly frank breech at 39 weeks. :( She tried everything, too except a version. Our tiny little people already have wills of their own!

I'm not ready yet to give up my natural/birth center/water birth scenario, though - yet.
 
I definitely wouldn't give up yet either! You've still got a good few weeks left to try and get him to turn for you. Here's to hoping he decides it's more comfy head down soon!
 
He's doing good. I go to the hospital and read to him at least once a day. Hard to do while juggling a 3 hour pumping schedule. Somewhere in there is sleep but I may as well forget that. lol
He got a feeding tube yesterday. So far his surgery to fix his esophagus has worked. They expect the heart murmur to correct itself with time. Not much they can do about him having 1 kidney but I am glad he has that 1.
After my OB ignored me when I told her something was wrong and just said that I was just paranoid, I was understandably angry when I learned I was right. My old OB called me after I missed my recent appt. I told her the only way I would ever go back there would be to kick her ass. When she asked why, I reminded her of our last appt and that her negligence nearly cost me my life and the life of my son. Little Tristan isn't out of the woods yet either. She has tried to call me 3 times since then though I refuse to answer the phone. I know it won't take much for me to really go beat her bonny little ass from here to texas and all it would take is a simple argument.
 
I would be furious with that OB too. Definitely don't blame you for being harsh with her. Hopefully she will stop being thinking pregnant women are paranoid when they say something is wrong. As a doctor she should live by the Better safe then sorry philosophy.
Sounds like she might be worried about a mal practice lawsuit or something. I don't know how it works where you are.

I'm glad to hear he's getting stronger as the days go by. And your right, one kidney is definitely better then none. So glad to hear his surgery seems to have worked. Have they said anything about when he *might* be able to go home?
 
I'm glad things are looking up for him, your doing well keeping up with the pumping! I can't imagine how pissed off you must be with that doctor, she needs to back off and let someone else take over your care.
 
yeah. I hope she does back off.
Good news today - the breathing tube came out today, they doubled his milk intake, and he graduated to a regular incubator.
All great news!

How is everyone today?
 
Oh thats awesome news Dhime! I hope he keeps up like this and can go home with you soon

Todays been a tough day. Its quite hot outside and only went out for maaaybe an hour if that, and still ended up feeling like crap. Better after a nap,but back to feeling like crap. Not sick, just not myself.
 
DHime - great news on that little fighter of yours! Cant wait to hear all of his successes over the next days!

AFM, found out DH's family (about 8 people) are coming for the weekend. :shock: They wont all be staying with us but they will be in and out of the house and some will stay here. So, I've been trying to get as much cleaning done as possible in the evenings after working all day! I'm sure it will be worth it to see everyone, but its exhausting in the meantime!
 
Great news dhime!

My last day at work today I'm glad to be finished with getting up early etc but I know that will only be for a few weeks until lo arrives! Ecv tomorrow, I'm very nervous x
