July Mamas! 101 Due in 2015! ! 37 babies born 23 boys 14 girls <3

[k4th]

Jrepp - very pretty birth plan. I love all the symbols instead of it being too wordy

Tonya - wow half way there in your hospital stay already??! Hope it's flying by for you

My birth plan would be so wordy if I wrote one, it probably wouldn't be read by anyone! It would be "if my platelet count is this I want that, but if it's below this..." Blah blah blah. I'll probably just write one for baby - as baby may be born with low platelets, I just want no needles anywhere near him/her until they've established what's going on.

I get those vibrations too. It's like a shudder - must be chilly in there sometimes baby often stops moving when oh touches my bump & he's always so warm - I imagine baby relaxing like I would on a hot sunny beach when oh is around!!

Any ladies drinking lots but peeing less in third tri? Yesterday I drank over 4 pints of water across the day, but barely went to the loo & when I did there was barely a trickle. Colour looked ok though. At last checkup my blood pressure was low & zero protein in my urine, I passed the gtt so I'm not sure what's going on???

 

[Livvy]

K4th I've started peeing less. I was wondering about that. For the past few nights I haven't even gotten up in the middle of the night to pee.

No, I'm not up at night either. Where is all that liquid going?? I'm not getting swollen ankles or anything else either. It's a mystery I tried googling but couldn't find anything

 

[dan-o]

Hi ladies, I'm back hope everyone is well, bet there's loads to catch up on! Going to have a read back through

All good here, baby still cooking nicely

 

[dan-o]

LIB sorry to hear your scan wasn't the best news. hoping the best one showing an improvement and you get to go full term x

Tasha and tonya, so pleased to see things are still ticking along with you both!!

Jrepp and baby girl, very cute bumps indeed!

 

[Bubbles1088]

Tonya, I bet it feels good to be halfway done with the hospital stay! I hope the babies stay put until the scheduled date!

k4th and Livvy, I wish I had your peeing less problem lol! I'm peeing a ton right now...lots in the middle of the night too, like I did in 1st tri!

Welcome back, dan-o! I have some appts listed a few pages back.

AFM, sleeping bleh again. I keep having to pee, and the left side of my lower back still gets sore, just more so now (it hurts even worse when I get up to walk...pretty sure it's sciatica), AND if I lay on one side too long, my right leg cramps. I used a pillow between my legs again early this morning when I couldn't go back to sleep, and it seemed to help. I had stopped using it because I didn't feel like it was doing anything anymore.

 

[Livvy]

Welcome back Dan-o!!! missed you.

Bubbles, I have been having a really hard time getting comfy at night too. I'm a stomach sleeper when I'm not pregnant, so I've been doing this diagonal thing where I'm not quite on my stomach but not on my side. So far baby seems ok with it! I have also been doing the pillow between the legs, but I have to keep them straight or else my knees start hurting.

 

[dan-o]

Thanks, will update the appointment page and everything shortly, got loads to add on!

Great birth plan btw, love it!

I've also been peeing like crazy some days, you ladies getting a break are lucky!
Think it all depends on his position for me, as sometimes i need to go as soon as anythings in my bladder

Livvy I also sleep on my front to one side, kinda like recovery position I guess lol x

 

[dan-o]

Not sure if anyone has been following the royal baby.. But...


Huge congrats to Kate and Will on the birth of their baby girl!

The princess - who is fourth in line to the throne - was "safely delivered" at 08:34 BST, the palace statement said.
The Duke of Cambridge, who was present for the birth of the 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg) baby girl, brought his 21-month-old son Prince George to visit his sister at St Mary's Hospital, west London

 

[sammynashley]

Bubbles I've been getting sciatica too was mainly on my left side now switched to my right, only way I can sleep is pillows between the legs otherwise I'm uncomfy all night.

Welcome back dan-o! Hope everything's well with you! I was so excited about the royal baby this morning!

Afm- I'm in lots of pain after yesterday running after DD but other than that all good

Harley superhero sunday is where they play thor, iron man, avengers (basically all marvel movies), etc all day every sunday! Currently watching iron man 2 as I type this. Ha And the flash and sheild are on my DVR weekly! Love them.

I felt bad last night at the movies, every time there was a loud action scene(which was a lot of the movie), Delilah would move and flip all around. I think the loud noises scared her I put my sweater and arms over my belly to block some of the sound but it didnt seem to help. Harley since you're going to the same movie let me know if your munchkin had the same reaction? Or if anyone else has moticed that...

Its so gorgeous here today. 75 degrees and sunny. Had a super nice visit to the zoo with dh, his cousin and wife. Then had a yummy bbq dinner. Now im relaxing with my feet up while dh is at a diaper party for his friend. Its cool, his friend got married 6 weeks before us, and his wife is due 6 weeks before me!

Tonya hope babies stay put and grow nicely, and that the next 20 days go quickly!

I am having a lot of trouble sleeping. I wake up every 2 hours to pee. I sleep with a pillow between my legs because if I don't my hips ache so bad it keeps me up. But the pillow always slides out. Every time I get up to pee I nearly fall over because of the pain that shoots through my vagina and pelvis (spd I think). Had to have DH help me off the couch last night because it hurt so bad.

But...today was lovely. The weather was gorgeous, 70 and sunny. I went with my dad to get materials for shelving for the baby's room and then went to my parents house and stained the boards, outside of course. It was so lovely to be in the sun finally.

 

[Livvy]

Rach we are in Michigan right now for my baby showers and today certainly was gorgeous. also we saw Avengers today and my baby kicked around the whole time too!

 

[babyvaughan]

My baby shower was so amazing, I feel so lucky & blessed! My mom was the host and she did such an amazing job! We got nearly everything you need plus more lol the theme was baby elephants I'll get some pictures but this was the center piece of the cupcake tower so cute!!

Ah, yes, well then superhero Sunday sounds awesome. Loved the movie today, too! Didn't notice any extra movements. I think Henry was actually sleeping through most of it. But we were in the very back row were it wasn't quite as loud. I can say though, that I have been to a loud concert in each of my three pregnancies and each time the baby got really active! I don't think it really bothers them or affects their ears, as they are quite shielded in there.

Not baby related, but I lost the solitaire diamond out of my engagement ring yesterday (still wore it alongside my wedding ring) gutted or what??? Lol. Hoping its insured!

May 26th high risk consult/scan

 

[poppy]

Oh no Dan-o! I'm sure it's insured - my husband lost his wedding ring when he fell in a river when canoeing a few years ago and was able to claim for it. How are you doing bump buddy?

 

[k4th]

Babyv - very cute!!!

Cdex - I'm with you on the not sleeping well. I can't turn over in bed properly due to horrible pelvic pain

Dan-o - oh no!! I hope it is insured too The diamond came out of my solitaire once but we found it & had it out back in. I hope you get it sorted! My next appointments are:
High risk ob - weds 6th may
Haemotologist - thurs 7th may
High risk ob & specialist haemotologist joint clinic - mon 11th may
Anesthetist - Monday 11th may

Next Monday is gonna be fun!! The two appointments are at different hospitals 40 miles apart Luckily oh is off so he can either come or stay at home, but either way can keep dd entertained.

Afm - went out for a lovely italian meal with dd & oh last night. It was soooo good! But the after finishing all three courses ( ) I felt that horrible, stuffed, over full, bloated, "no more room" feeling that can only truely come from being in the third tri. And it lasted for hours Back to little & often then!
