June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[No Doubt]

I think it was Ashley that went through this and was told the same thing. Her levels went back into normal range I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong Ashley.

 

[AsEn11]

I think it is just us over analizing everything!! and worrying a bunch!! I have been asking friendswith children and mine dont seem so bad haha

As far as fluids yes that was me i was told at 20 weeks that i had borderline low fluids, I fraked out my doctor calmed me down and had me in a week later I had taken my fluids to between 80-100 ounces a day. By the time i went to the doctor my fluids were good!! He had me back 2 weeks later and still good so I went back to month visits. He said it could be caused by baby not going potty recently and a bunch of other things and they will probably monitor you for awhile and if they dont go up or they go down they might send you to a high risk doctor (which one of my friends had to go to for this reason and she got to see her son once a week in 3d ) But in all my doctor told me not to worry uless it kept up and if it got to low by the end they might have to take baby befoere 40 weeks at like 35-37..but dont worry just drink more fluids

Asen1, lol omg ihave weird dreams as well..like scary weird sometimes ... I think its anxiety .. Few weeks ago i dreamt that i had my baby and she was just a few months and started talking (creepy) ..but she told me that im not a good mom and that i wont be able to raise her..and she's better of with another mother!! OMG that broke my heart..just what i needed ..more doubt for a new mother to be.. i was actually depressed for few days then moved on

I went for a scan yesterday.. They told me my fluid is and i quote "just a little bit below normal range" ..they did tell me not to worry and drink more water...but i remember i think Asen1 went through this? i cant for the life of me remember what happened with that next?

Hey Ladies!

Catch hope the fluid levels go back to normal, My doctor did mention to me that the fluid levels are JUUST enough which is very normal for a first pregnancy so they might have miscalculated for you?
Hope all is well!

I'm actually quitting work as crazy as that sounds, I just dont feel like the hard work I put in has been appreciated, the moment I got preg and tired they have been constantly complaining about it and I have an offer else where which I'll take a few months after delivery I hope. Funny part is that my boss knew I went through IVF and had the nerve to pretend I hadn't informed her about my pregnancy! Just can't be bothered!

Appointment next Monday, still as exciting as ever going in for a scan ;D

 

[CatchBabyDust]

thank u girls..
Contacted my dr. she said not to worry and just continue my pregnancy normally and drink fluids and she'll check me in 3 weeks..

Pink, its annoying not to be appreciated..as long as u thought well about it and u have enough financial support, i would do the same and resign. Because even after ur pregnancy u'd want to take care and focus on your baby..for me maternity leave is never enough lol. Good luck..

Hope everything turns out well for all of us!

 

[No Doubt]

Whatever you feel is best pink. I understand not being appreciated at work and that does suck. It sounds like they have been wanting you out ever since you got preggo. I'd probably be a jerk and stay just to piss them off then leave them high and dry, but you're doing it the right way. I'm just mean, lol.

 

[AsEn11]

Pink I dont blame you for leaving I would do the same..Thank goodness one of my bosses is my dad so he treats me sweet

Catch you sound so calm I wish I would have stayed calm instead of freaking out for no reason..haha

Ladies who is having more and more trouble sleeping..when I get off work i am so sore its unreal I always go home make dinner then I try to sit or lay down and get comftorable and my ribs and lower back kill me!! I am so nervous for the last month haha i am a woosy

 

[CatchBabyDust]

haha Asen1 TRUST ME i'm not calm at all!! My hubby keeps yelling at me for overthinking stuff... Maybe i seem calm online..i'll let my hubby know that i have a calm side but its not offline
Plus, my dr knows i'm paranoid..so before she told me she's like "dont u dare go home and stress urself because this is not serious" ... Either way im stressed but i trust her..and most importantly i trust in God to protect my baby girl

 

[AsEn11]

Haha I understand..I made the mistake of googling it and wow I freaked out! My OH had to carry me to the shower and put me in so I would calm down all while yelling at me to calm down..it was nuts!! And come to find out Ihad nothing to worry about but thats me Ms. Overthink it and over worry..and I agree I trust my doctor and trust God to keep us safe..he just likes to test us every once in awhile

 

[No Doubt]

Doctor's appt went well. HB is 150 and Virtue is in a head down position! Hopefully he'll stay that or if he turns, he'll turn back around, lol. He's not low down though so it's ok. Got the all clear on the glucose test, she said it's not the lowest, but it's a pass so I'm goo there too! I had to get a shot though..it's the tetanus/everything else including whooping cough vaccine. Hubbs is gonna have to get it from our pcp. My belly was 32cm. She said I can make an appt to tour the maternity ward and take classes if I want, but I'll probably only do the breast feeding one. Other than that there's nothing new going on. Oh yeah, and I've gained 19lbs.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

Great update no doubt! as for the weight gain i envy u ..im 2 weeks behind you and i've already gained 19lbs as well ..oh well..all for a good cause!

 

[No Doubt]

I wouldn't worry about that catch. 2 weeks ago I'd gained 18lbs so I wasn't that far off from you.

 

[No Doubt]

Woo Hoo. 30 weeks today! 10 weeks and counting! Only 70 days to go! But I'm thinking it won't be that many days, lol. My insomnia is finally gone too by the way, thank goodness cause that was a mess. Last week, every night I slept on the clouds and it was amazing. I'd honestly forgotten what that felt like, lol. I'm gonna try really hard to not take my sleep for granted ever again.

Anything new ladies? I don't really have much going on. I did book a tour of the maternity ward for later in April. I'm excited to see how that goes and see how everything will be when I get there. From what I hear it's lovely and the staff and doctor's are all very wonderful. A friend that delivered there said she even had a menu to choose from as far as meals, it wasn't just eat what we give you.

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey ladies!
Yay for week 30 & normal scans no doubt!! I passed the glucose test too such a relief !!
Catch I'm sure the fluids will be fine!
Definetly feeling better after quitting I've been more relaxed and tolerant haha but still pretty much sleepless like you Ashley! Very tricky business falling asleep my hips are so sore even though I'm walking more often now getting everything ready
We finally have a cupboard for baby H!! That's exciting for me makes it all the more real ;D

Had a doc appointment today and baby still measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, not sure how to think of if, baby is head down too and measuring between week 31-32 when I'm at 29. 2kg already and the doc mentioned a high chance of c section which I'd hate so much but so long as I have a healthy baby I guess! Really hoping to pop at 36-37 weeks naturally instead haha

Feels great to be so close to meeting the lil man

 

[CatchBabyDust]

congrats on hitting the 30 weeks mark! Hope we all follow soon..
Been chugging up lots of water and juices..hopefully when i go back for another scan..all will be normal.
Pink, as long as everything is healthy..hopefully nothing to concerning about it being ahead by few weeks..but does the due date change according to ultrasound? or does it stay the same? I never got this

 

[pinkwaters]

According to my doctor the due date stays the same catch because even though baby is measuring ahead he needs to develop in the same time ;s confusing!!
I hope all is well and baby stays under 4kg haha
I asked around and while most people think its normal I found out that IVf babies are generally bigger apparently and not many people know its an ivf baby so it's hard to explain, I've actually received the well then cut down on food talk and my doctor said it had nothing to do with it ;s I'm still maternity size 12 so I ignore but yea well see how all turns out!

Almost 10 week countdown for most of us ! Super exciting!

 

[CatchBabyDust]

Going to the dr tomorrow to check AFL... I hope it went up from last time.. So been nervous about that..and i hope the baby is well and healthy in there..

Asen1- What was the reason for urs being low? were u leaking?

yesterday i had a scare she was kicking so much less and her kicks were weak and not visible from outside..like i was only 18-20 weeks..but turns out she was tucked behind..she stayed like that for two days.. she rolled and changed position in the morning and now i can feel her kicks from outside and see them again (thank god for that) but what a scare!
How's everyone doing..? Hope ur all well.

 

[AsEn11]

Catch..my doctor said it may have been a fluke and maybe she hadnt went potty in awhile. No for sure answer but everything measured fine the next two times I went
I pray its the same for you honestly sometimes I worry and wonder why they dont check again but I still try to drink a lot of water and such.

Also I had the same scare the other day I was SO busy and in the middle of the day I relized i hadnt felt her move much..I was paniking and ran to the couch in my office layed down talked to her and shook my belly a bit and she responded best feeling ever!!
So I am thinking that she was moving but just not as strong as usual possibly turned around or something

 

[No Doubt]

Sometimes I feel Virtue a bit less or a bit more or some days and I think it is attributed to like you said, he's hiding in there. As long as I feel him moving I'm fine. They get tired just like us. I've actually noticed the days I'm exhausted, he's in there playing up a storm, and when I feel great he's resting. It's like we trade off on who gets the energy that day, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

Funny how every1 has a different movement rhythm/pattern, I seem to feel baby H when I lie down on my right side, all the pokes are on the left and pretty visible by now, whether elbow or knee though I'm not sure ;D

I've been super moody and restless but happy that I'm getting closer to meeting him, just can't imagine it!!

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey ladies
How are you all doing?
I've become obsessed with warm baths I find they help my back heaps!

Has anyone been feeling starving and bloated all at once? Haha I force the food either way but quite the challenge ;D

Come on final 10!!
