You or your partner can do the massage its not particularly pleasant but I only started it 2ND time around after 3rd degree tear first time so I was trying to stretch scar tissue. Google it or ask your mw for instructions its very specific.

All was fine with baby when I we went for monitoring, he was kicking away on the monitor like a mini boxer.
I remember how worried and unorganised i felt first time around. Although I don't feel as flustered this time, i do feel like i'm going to struggle dividing my time between 3 children.

EPO-i used this with DS hoping it would help to prevent me tearing again, unfortunately it didn't work, and i had a second 3rd degree tear. I personally thing the massage is better to prevent tearing, wish i'd have tried it.

I'm so sorry! I totally missed this and I was just thinking about you wondering if everything went well. I am glad bubs is all good!!

Columbia/Jeff City area. I think KalonKiKi is from Springfield as well! Small state, haha

I used to ask everyone I saw on here from Missouri where they were from, then I couldn't keep track and started asking people more than once, so I stopped asking!

You're right, I am also from Springfield! I had no idea that you lived in Springfield, Angel. It's a small world. I just met another pregnant woman in my apartment complex recently that is due on October 1st.

Very small world!! Are you birthing at Cox or Mercy?

Just wanted to say Hi to you all I lurk a lot and keep an eye on you all.....Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[girlnboots]

I was just stalking you the other day, dream! We were commenting on the same thread. Hope all is well!

Ahhhhh nooooo sleep! I am having worst time at night..either cant fall asleep...wake up every hr...pain in my hips or back...feel pregnant !

 

[Maze]

I feel your pain...

I woke up and my feet felt like they had been bitten by a bunch of mosquitoes, only they haven't been as far as I can tell. Around midnight my feet turned this horrible rash red (like you stepped in something poisonous only minus the bumps) and were hot to the touch. The weird thing is, I have had no problems with swelling during the pregnancy, I went to bed with normal looking feet. Now my hands are swollen too and it almost hurts to type with them and I can't sleep because my hands and feet feel so sore....

Anyone had this happen? Normally swelling goes down when you rest, it doesn't suddenly appear during rest!

 

[lady1985]

Maze i think its better to go and get checked out hun. I would go to rule out pre-e...xx

 

[Junebugs]

Dream- I hope everything is going well with you!!! Congrats on your rainbow baby hun!! Xoxoxo

Lady- I am feeling you on that one, I am so sick of this pregnancy insomnia... I was up about 20 times last night .. it is driving me crazy.

Maze- I def. Would get that check out. It doesn't sound normal

 

[Sbmack]

I hope everything is ok, Maze!

I had my first bout with swelling yesterday after I'd been on my feet all day. I'm usually on my feet all day for work though. I also think my feet are growing I hope they go back to my normal size after.

Lady, I was up for a few hours last night too. Got up to pee and couldn't fall back asleep. Saw the sunrise and of course finally fell back adleep for maybe an hour before I have to get up for work.

 

[KalonKiki]

Very small world!! Are you birthing at Cox or Mercy?

Mercy, I live on W Battlefield, so Mercy is only about a 10-15 minute drive away depending on traffic. Dr. Juliette Gibbons is my OBGYN and she's been absolutely fantastic.
Are you birthing at Cox, Mercy, or planning to try for a home birth?

I hope everything is okay, Maze! The swelling doesn't sound normal to me either, I would definitely check with the doc to make sure it isn't a serious condition like pre-eclampsia.

 

[ptr]

Yeah i echo everyone else, maze.

I was stalking you the other day too, dream!! So happy you have your rainbow baby, I hope this pregnancy will be a much more smoother sailing!

 

[goddess25]

Congrats on your rainbow baby Dream, lovely news.

Maze - with your history of PE definitely ring your health care provider at the very least. I go to bed at night with pretty swollen joints but wake up in the morning with them back to normal again. It shouldn't happen the other way around.

 

[Girly922]

Hope everything's ok maze. Definitely sounds like you need to get it double checked. It doesn't sound like the way swelling occurs in pre-e so hopefully you'll be ok. Sounds more like an allergic reaction to something to be honest.

My feet have been swelling every day for a few weeks now, and I haven't been able to wear my rings since 24 weeks. MW wasn't concerned though as my feet go down overnight with rest.

Baby seems to be having a quiet day today. I've had some movements but not very many. Lots of BHs though. Think I'll have a lazy evening and hope that helps.

Hey ladies, got checked out by my doctor and she thinks it's my gallbladder. Apparently it can begin to secrete something during the later stage of pregnancy and when it gets into your skin causes itching and swelling? I have never heard anything about it, but she did blood work to make sure it isn't getting into my liver, which apparently creates a condition associated with still birth.

 

[Girly922]

Glad you got it checked maze. You don't seem to be having much fun this pregnancy. Hope your blood tests come back okay.

 

[lady1985]

Oh maze hope its somethin they can regulate for you xx

Ladies i need ur advice i had my navel pierced years ago and took the bar out at about 4months. Now the skin is getting really sore and red from the streching.. is there anything i can do to relieve it im scared the skin is going to break?!

 

[twinkletoe]

Hey girls

Maze hope all goes ok with the results and that something us sorted for you soon! Fx!

Lady- I have the same with my navel piercing and I found that sudocrem really helped .......not sure where you live or if you know it but its a kind of antibacterial cream used for nappy rash, bed sores, burns and rashes etc. I just found that if I kept the area really well moisturised and kept applying sudocrem it really helped.
