Thinking about getting the car seat installed, I do daycare and I can use it with one of my kids until baby is born. Then I will have to wash it and add the infant pieces back on. Seems like time is going fast. I hope this keeps going until she is born

I remember someone mentioned calf cramps, I had one last night and I nearly cried! I had to jump out of bed and walk it off my muscle hurt all day today!

I just got our travel system for baby . It was $400 but Georgie's Nan (my mum) covered $300 of that, thanks mum!!

It was such a hard decision and the one thing I'm not happy with is that it can't convert for multiple kids. But we'll cross that bridge in a couple years I guess when #2 comes along. Other than that it's perfect for what we need

getting there

Hey guys.. not sure if it was me or not that mentioned the calf cramp, but yeah definitely dealing with them! Had one couple nights back and STILL sore from it and limping! But yeah I had them with my other pregnancy and it wasn't very often so maybe will be like that this time.

Had a slight scare over the wknd... BH ramped up and called OB who said to go to ER.. but with my lo sleeping, I asked when I NEEDED to go.. can't really just go at the drop of a hat now, ya know? So he said when they're 5 min apart and they never got that close consistently. Anyway, guess I should pack my hospital bag and get ready because ya never know!

 

[Sw33tp3a]

Libby hope they dont get that close for ya but i understand thinking to start the bag packing. i have to wait till my baby shower to pack anything for our little one and my self which isnt till 36 weeks is cutting it close im sure.
proubly should try and do some in like zip lock ready to grab in case into any bag.

 

[rowleypolie]

Wow Libby! Hope it all goes well. We still have a few weeks till that little one should be doing that!

I had my last baby at 32 weeks 3 days Libby. Rest up honey

Goodness, my Cubby is already big! I had an ultrasound today and they estimated Cubby already weighs almost 5 pounds! But I have read that can be way off - but my mom had big babies so you never know. It is actually exciting news because with my blood pressure and kidney disease, usually there are growth issues and smaller babies so they say my disease doesn't seem to be affecting Cubby at all. I have a few more ultrasounds coming up just to keep monitoring blood flow because of my blood pressure. It will be interesting to see what they say about weight in the next few weeks.

Libby - hope those ease up and you keep baby cooking a bit more! Rest, rest!

I had my mw appointment yesterday and everything seemed good, she said I must maintain my weight from now rather than put any more on :-D in the first tri I could barely eat and now foods all I think about! She also said my iron was low and say to include some iron rich food into my diet and she will do bloods next time to see if there is any improvement Had 'trace' in my urine test, does anyone know if that refers to protein, I asked the mw about it and she just brushed it off as normal but as I was induced in my last pregnancy due to high bp and pre eclampsia symptoms I feel worried lol.
I have started sorting a few bits out for my hospital bag, think I will get it all washed this week and get my last few bits. I was in hospital 9 nights last time due to a very long induction so think I will pack for two nights then maybe put a few extras in another bag just in case, so if I need more its all there at home for DH to bring in.

 

[Kellya009]

Medzi from what I've been reading the weight estimates from ultrasounds are really inaccurate! Everyone with experience seems to say that baby comes out weighing less than what the ultrasound estimated.

I'm having a growth scan at 36 weeks though, and might be induced based on that estimate so we'll see how true that is!

Yeah, I have read that too, which is why I'm really curious to see what they estimate in a few weeks. You'll have to keep me posted on yours!

Hey, my doc that the calf cramps are an indication that one i slow on calcium, she put be on suppliments......so if you can, you may consider taking calcium suppliments.

I am exhausted!!! I went to bed last night at 730 pm because my days are so busy. I woke up at 10 to mop the floor and do the dishes, then back to bed at 1130. My 2 year old woke up around midnight and the cried about every 15 minutes until 2 am, so I was running back and forth to comfort her. I work at home doing daycare for 6 other children and so I never get a break! Wishing I could start maternity leave, lol. I am taking "off" June 7th and going to start up again June 24th (with assistance for a few weeks) just feeling drained!

 

[Sw33tp3a]

i have a growth scan next week and at around 33-35 weeks. curious as to if she is still a week ahead or if she is further than that. i hope if i stay busy the time will go by faster. i had 8 and 9 pnd babies so i wouldn't be surprised if they say she is already 5-6 pnds.

Did you manage to push that 9 pounder out or was it a c section?

 

[Sw33tp3a]

both vaginal... they told me the day before he was gonna be only 7 pnds.. so when he was comming out all i can hear is the nurses yelling he's bigger he's Bigger... i tore alot he was almost 10pnds. this is why we have to go by my babies measure ments this time if she hits the 6pnd 7 pnd mark like near week 37 doc said he will be inducing so there wont be any complications.

 

[Sw33tp3a]

so i may possibly only have 7 weeks left till she is here
