light hearted ttc

[AC1987]

My DH is less worried than me, my mom is more worried than me I'm mostly just REALLY wanting to avoid an induction.. and I just hope this baby is at a good weight when its born I don't want it to hafta stay in NICU...

 

[hello_kitty]

Sorry for what you're going through Ashley but why do they want to induce you if the baby is small?

Gonna begin my progestrone meds today that Dr prescribed. Hopefully with the meds I can go full term this time. I've heard of people going over though but my Dr said I'm gonna stop the meds at 36 weeks anyways so shouldn't be a problem.

MY scan is scheduled for the 24th. I kinda wanted to go this upcoming Thursday but dh said we should just wait til baby is over 20 weeks. My dh has names picked out already. Somehow he's so sure it's gonna be a girl and kept calling my bump rosalynn. Wonder what he's gonna say if it's a boy.

I think its more if it stops growing in the womb like because of the placenta or umbillical not working, but right now its working thats why they are ok with it remaining inside me.

Like I wouldn't ok an induction if I didn't see a valid point, I'd only ok it if the baby is at risk.
It was just alot to take in yesterday, because I thought they'd say everything is fine, and then they say that its a little too small for their liking...

 

[hello_kitty]

Do they know why the baby is small? Is it because you didn't gain enough weight?

 

[josephine3]

Aww ashley sorry to hear baby is measuring small. Did they say if he/she was engaged or what the position is? Any other symptoms he might make an appearance sooner rather than later?

Rics how did ur labours compare length wise? Im hoping for a bit shorter 2nd time round my first was about 21 hrs.

Hello kitty i did the exact same thing after my scan too sorted out all the clothes there wasnt much unisex stuff in there tho!
Hi patrice good to hear from u! Xx

Head is down so that is good. I didn't ask to check for dialation as I find thats just so painful I'd rather only have it if I think I'm in labour and even then I HATE it.

They don't know why the baby is small, I mean I got told I might just make small babies.. but I think they wanna moniter the umbillical cord and placenta to make sure that it is working ok..
I got told that I must moniter movement now too So lately I'd been really paying attention.

Also! I'm either in the early stages of labour or I just have really over done it today. I've been having contractions or braxton hicks ALL day since 3am. I haven't been timing them at all yet as I don't feel like I'm getting too many close together, also been losing my mucus plug...

I just hope if it is something that I get to sleep tonight first... I'm SO exhausted!!


Hope you ladies are doing well

 

[hello_kitty]

Josephine - I think I have a garbage bag full of neutral stuff but most are sleepers and onsies. I don't have any neutral everyday wear. The more I think about it now I really don't mind the gender anymore. Another boy would be just as nice.

 

[magicwhisper]

I hope this is the start of something for you xD

 

[josephine3]

Ooh ashley fx'd you'll be off to the hospital soon then!

 

[AC1987]

NOTHING is happening I'm so over being pregnant, I'm so uncomfy my sleep sucks.. not that it'll get better once baby is born but hopefully I won't be that uncomfy anymore.

 

[hello_kitty]

I remember losing 16 lbs the first month with zachary and that's under my pre pregnancy weight. Now I'm starting to remember how difficult the first month is with a newborn.

 

[magicwhisper]

Currently watching ella be hyper after ive been drinking dr pepper she loves that drink just like her mum xD

Sleep is a thing of the past im up every 2 hours to wee. Training for when ella is here i guess

 

[ricschick]

jose my labours have never really been short but they did get shorter. dd1 was 31 hours! dd2 11hours dd3 13hours and ds1 10hours so im hoping for slightly shorter but not ridiculously short.

ac I hope you go naturally but saying that maybe the longer baby is inside the more he/she will grow! fx!

afm getting uncomfy now and I feel tired today cant believe I still have another 4months to go im huge already!!! knackered!!

 

[AC1987]

Happy St Patricks day to anyone who celebrates I just wear green and if I feel up to it I will make green cookies


No signs here that labour will come.

My next appt is friday at 8am..

 

[magicwhisper]

Slept 5 hours last night and spent the whole day cleaning and even cooked a cottage pie for my oh. The only reason i am awake is sugar

I hate not being able to sleep

 

[AC1987]

[hello_kitty]

Sending vibes your way Ashley!

[josephine3]

Hey ladies so i had my 28 week mw appt today. She seems to think baby has moved to head down which is great but she didnt seem too sure becos apparently there feels like a lot of water in there. She is sending me for a scan on friday to check for polyhyramnios (excess water) which apparently can indicate problems with baby or be a risk or preterm labour and things like cord prolapse if water breaks early cos theres so much of it causing pressure. Trying not to worry myself just yet. It would explain why i am so uncomfortable and feeling so big tho. Everyone keeps telling me i look massive! mw seems to think there is more fluid than baby in there and he will be smaller than Georgia was. I hope hes not huge but dont want him to be too small either!

 

[AC1987]

with Cassidy I had alot of water and they liked to scare me with things that could be wrong or go wrong. But everything turned out ok.

Soooo I think I might be in labour now
