June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[pinkwaters]

I'm so frustrated I just want to meet the lil man!! Been having more on and off Braxton hicks and back pain, lots of pressure and hip pain!

Congrats on 36 weeks ladies!

I'm going in for a check up sometime this week to check on baby weight, feeling heavier and heavier each day, my doctor is hoping I pop right at 36 so one can only dream ;D

Hi ladies glad everyone is doing good! Were getting so close!
So I havent been on here for awhile but to give a little update on myself and baby:
I was getting a bunch of dizzy spells like almost passing out they were happening far apart and when I would lay down, I talked to my doctor and had a spell while in his office he wasnt sure what was happening he said my blood pressure was good and maybe it was all the fluids (we laughed since at 20 weeks I had low fluids..how things change) anyways he told me if they didnt stop to come see him well sure enough Friday morning while at Target It happened while I was standing up scared me so I went to the hospital my doctor was on call and after being there from 10am-4pm and many tests later they think i am hyperglycemic.. ( sad!! But managable!! I just have to make a new diet and check my blood during the day.

Also I got a 3d scan and the lady said she has chubby cheeks which you can see!! And a head full of hair..She is a doll!! I cant wait to kiss her lips it was kind of a tease to see her so well and not be able to hold her.
Also does anyone know how it feels when baby drops? I am having pain and it hurts to walk to much like she is falling down..all i do is walk at work so I am worried

 

[No Doubt]

Pink, sounds a bit weird your doctor is hoping you go at 36 weeks. That's not even full term yet. But I guess if that's what they think is best. Hope it all work out for you.

Ashley glad your doctor figured things out. Like you said its manageable. Ever since Virtue dropped I feel a lot of pain when I stand up after sitting for a while. Its like a lot of pelvic pressure and achiness down there. It hurts while walking when I really have to pee. And I often have those lightening strike type pains they talk about. I also have to pee all the time and have been getting up all through out the night to go pee. He's definitely resting more on my bladder now.

 

[AsEn11]

So you think maybe she dropped? Or is in the process..I want her to stay in there awhile longer at least the 2 more weeks until I am full term

 

[No Doubt]

Oh she'll stay put. Virtue has dropped but hasn't engaged yet...at least not as of last weeks appt. We'll see what happens this week. He dropped I think around 33/34 weeks. So you're fine. Some women have said that they didn't even engage until they were in labor. But they have to make room for themselves.

Pink, why does ur dr hope u deliver by 36 weeks? Maybe some assume thats full term already..

No doubt, i feel the same about the pressure..my girl is already positioned in my pelvic region since 31 weeks :/ i dont know if thats too early.. And now at 33 and a half weeks..its getting harder to walk especially on full bladder! I try not to drink at night but i get so thirsty the most then and so like u , i get up and pee all night.. I'm only 33 and a half weeks so i dont know what to expect later lol

My husband is being relocated to another office in another country ..and we must move by the end of this month! Its only 4 hours by plane..most drs said its ok if i travel by 35-36 weeks..but we can't tell the airlines..I dont know how to feel about this! But i can not have the baby without my hubby..and his work isnt really flexible and wont buy us more time :S I dont know what to do!

 

[No Doubt]

Babies will drop so you feel more pressure, but that doesn't mean they've engaged into your pelvic region yet, so you could just be feeling the pressure of her being head down and lower than normal. It gets painful, and can be a bit id a nuisance when having to pee, but it's all normal.

Moving while pregnant...no thank you. Do you have someone set up in the new place, a doctor I mean?

 

[AsEn11]

Oh she'll stay put. Virtue has dropped but hasn't engaged yet...at least not as of last weeks appt. We'll see what happens this week. He dropped I think around 33/34 weeks. So you're fine. Some women have said that they didn't even engage until they were in labor. But they have to make room for themselves.

I sure hope so i am anxious to meet her but not to early I want to take her home next day not weeks later and I think she is pretty happy in there i wouldnt be surprised if i went over I hope not tho

Boo to that!! You would think his work would understand and postpne it..i would be upset! But I guess you either have to go or have your LO without hubby

 

[AsEn11]

Ha i just realized at 35 weeks we have 35 days left..right?

 

[No Doubt]

Yes that is correct...35/35.

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey ladies!
Ashley that's great with the 3D scan! I was jumping up and down just from a glimpse of his face on a regular ultra sound ;D it is quite a tease and mines cheeky too!

Apparently the doctor is hoping for delivery before 38 weeks because I'm already measuring past 38 weeks in size, his lungs are fully developed, there is no chance of a miscalculation because its an IVF baby so I don't know why the size is increasing so fast. His prediction is if I go past 38 weeks I'm better off with a c sect due to low fluid levels and larger baby size which is why I'm just hunting for labour signs and finding none ha

My boy has dropped around week 33 too and the doctor said his head is engaged and ready which is why he talked me through labour and diff types of labour incase I get any signs! Lots of pelvic pressure so far and inner thigh pain is horrible, Braxton hicks increasing but on and off as is lower back pain . Don't know what to make of it anymore!

Baby is def moving more often, harder stronger jabs almost like he's trying to stretch or push out which is why dh is thinking I should go take a look this week, my official appointment is next week at 36 sharp.

Well see how it goes I guess!! It's weird though, now that I know he's past 3kg and is fully developed I'm so anxious and I want him in my arms ASAP

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey catch! I hope you have help with the move!
There's something nice about having a new place and a new start with baby though
And I'm totally with you on going with the hubbs, I'd want mine around for delivery, 4 hours should be okay but do see the doctor before flying incase!
Unpack easy if you don't have help after the move, and use the hubby ;D
Good luck !!

 

[AsEn11]

Wow pink you could be a mommy within the next week..how crazy exciting!!
I am still in a surreal state of mind time has gone so fast i feel like the last 35 weeks went by in the blink of an eye unbelievable!
I also cant wait to meet my LO I cant wait to see her face and here her cry and know she is safe in my arms..and go back to a normal potty schedule haha

 

[pinkwaters]

I sure hope so ash! Haha def looking forward to normal potty duty, sleeping on my back and my tummy!!!
Guess ill stay the symptom spotting freak until I pop haha - googling stuff isn't the greatest idea ill add that but I just can't help it lol

 

[AsEn11]

I do the same thing and after I read a symptom iswear ihave it within the next 24 hours lol well not everything obviously but a lot of stuff its so weird i think my mind is so out there thinking about whats about ready to happen that i am tricking myself haha

 

[pinkwaters]

Haha same, my mother told me yesterday that she slept a lot before labour and voila I managed two naps today !! I know it's all in my head ;D
I can officially say pregnancy is driving me insane ;D

 

[CatchBabyDust]

wow pink! How exciting for u!! To be honest, i've been having the feeling that u'll be the first to give birth and then No Doubt! lol..sometimes i'm spot on ..so fingers crossed..and hopefully u'll have a safe easy delivery

Let's all promise to update labor and delivery stories as soon as we can after we give birth ..i'd love to hear all ur stories and tell mine..but since i am a few weeks behind most of u, i'll probably hear urs first

 

[pinkwaters]

I hope you're right catch!!
Everyone around me is playing the guessing game on what date ill pop! Honestly I'm just praying it happens naturally! With all the pressure down there I'm praying for natural labour soon! Baby has passed 3.1kg/7pounds last week!

I will def update labour and birth and look forward to reading all of your experiences !!
Counting days!!

 

[No Doubt]

I'm counting days too and hoping he comes mid to end month, but I'm perfectly happy with 37 weeks which will be Monday. Virtue is about 6.5lbs which apparently is "large" and in the 85 percentile. I was just talking to the guy across the street and he said "for a long time there you just had a little bump, then we looked up and were like...oh, ok." Lol, I know exactly when he's talking about cause I looked in the mirror and said the same thing.
