Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[ptr]

Hopefully the dr can hold it off for you, maze! but yeah, that would be crazy if your baby decides to come out today out of all days!

 

[goddess25]

Oh no Maze..this happened to me with my Dd. I thought I was in labour on my DS 2nd birthday with her..however it was one of those practice ones and it was a week later she was born. Yours sounds a bit more real than my practice one..hope it stops and you get to enjoy your daughters birthday.

 

[jbell157]

Lady I'm glad everything is ok.

Maze I hope baby holds off and happy birthday to your daughter!

AFM, I've gone completely mental. I had a psychotic episode with my DH last night...yelled at him threatened to leave, etc. Just over something small. I called my mom and she said I had a right to be upset but basically I handled it the wrong way. The really wrong way. Well I woke up this morning and tried to apologize to my husband before work and broke down again! crying and saying he was going to leave me because I'm going crazy. He did say he knew it was hormones and that he is just glad its happening now and hasn't happened throughout the entire pregnancy. But I felt like such a nutcase I was afraid to go to work as I'm a teacher and I didn't want to break down in front of my students or flip out on one and get fired. I called my mentor teacher and she told me to stay home so I am just resting and trying to stay very calm. I have a feeling my hormones might be quite imbalanced. Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like a mental person.

It happens to us all, it's the hormones and I am sure alot of the stress and being overwhelmed has something to do with it as well, don't worry! HOpefully your dh knows it's not somehting you really meant to do. Definitely use this day to unwind and relax as much as you can!

 

[KalonKiki]

Happy birthday to your DD, Maze! Hopefully your doctor can get baby to stay put for at least one more day.

Sorry about the visit to the hospital, Lady! That's never any fun. Glad that you're starting to feel better though.

It happens to all of us, jbell. It probably was for the best for you to stay home today, hopefully it will give you a good chance to relax and unwind a bit. My hormones are imbalanced as it is without being pregnant, so my poor OH has been through hell and back this whole pregnancy.

 

[lady1985]

Thanks ladies!

Maze - sounds like u maybe the next one to go here... Not feeling jelous at all...well yes i am really hope bub stays put for you xx

Jbell- its completely normal hun. Not just to blame the hormones thats not right. Ur dh is prob like mine and most men that NOTHING has changed for them yet so this BABY is not even a reality for them..so when we argue with them we are on a completly diff brain wave length as everything we process mentaly is taking baby into the senario. They on the other hand DONT...no wonder we have the babies lol. I dont know wat u argued about but if its about but if its anything like our arguements then this is the senario that takes me down the route to feeling like taking off..we cant expect them to understand yet till baby is here unfortuately we just have to nod and smile till we can SHOW the reason for our constructive insanity lol

 

[goddess25]

:hugs" Jbell. Its horrible when that happens and then you realise how irrational you were and that you handled it all wrong. I have had this happen a few times this pregnancy.

 

[PaiytonsMummy]

Happy birthday to DD Maze, and hope baby holds off a while longer.
Jbell, we all have our crazy days (even when our bodies are not raging with mental pregnancy hormones). I tend to just take myself off to a closed room to keep from the children seeing The Hulk lol. hope you're okay today x

 

[Maze]

Sorry to hear about your hormone rager, Jbell. I have had my fair share of them! It sounds like your husband has a good grasp of the fact that you're just at the end of your pregnancy and everything is out of whack.

Thanks everyone for your support. I just got back from the hospital, they had me monitored for awhile and said they would do the c-section today. I however asked to wait...weird right. I am only 2 centimeters dilated and not showing a lot of change with my contractions, my vitals are fine and baby is fine so I don't see the harm in waiting! My doctor is going to get back to me about rescheduling my c-section to later this week or early next week though. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

[ptr]

oh my gosh so you might go earlier after all!!! eeekkkk! keep us posted! and yeah nothing wrong with waiting a little longer! Keep us posted.

 

[broodymrs]

Oh I am jealous Maze. I would have snapped their hand off if they'd have offered to get my baby out today! You are right though, the longer baby can cook the better. Hope you're not feeling too awful.

Glad you're ok lady, not nice to be in hospital.

Poor you Jbell. I'm sure your DH understands.

Who will be next I wonder? I'm 37 weeks tomorrow so operation eviction starts in earnest. I so so hope this one comes a bit early. Seeing midwife too so will be interesting to see if he's dropped further. I really hope so, I want him out! Saw my acupuncturist yesterday and she was amazing as usual but said she wouldn't try to induce me for at least a couple of weeks yet, boo. Damn her and her ethics! She is helping me with my many other issues though and as of today I am feeling very slightly better so at least the rest of the pregnancy will be more bearable if I feel better.

 

[jbell157]

Thanks ladies. I am feeling better but its still a touchy subject when we talk about it.

Maze how exciting that baby could be here so soon. I agree with you that if you and baby are good than there is no reason to hurry it a long. Try and space those birthdays out!

Broody I love your operational title! At least your acupuncturist will help you out if you do go over!

 

[tx614]

That is exciting Maze! At least your kiddos won't be birthday buddies now!

I wasn't dialated at all at my 36 week apt. Kinda bummed. I feel like everyone else who I know was dialated at this stage. I hope I am more dialated at my next apt. and that baby's stomach has grown.

 

[goddess25]

Glad to hear everything is ok Maze. You did the right thing declining today I think. Thinking of you. I think its safe ish to say you may be our 2nd momma.

 

[SisterRose]

Glad you get to keep baby baking a little longer Maze, best of luck x

 

[Sini]

How are you ladies today?

Im hitting 37 weeks tomorrow Getting a bit emotional looking at DS and OH. Our life is about to change with a new addition. Keep thinking DS will be upset not being the only child

Every night I go bed now thinking 'will this be the night labour starts' and then it obviously didnt start as I start another day

 

[KalonKiki]

Yay! Glad that you get to keep baby cooking for a bit longer, Maze. It's exciting to think that you could very well have our second October Pumpkin.

Has anyone that knows for sure that they will have their baby before Halloween thought about what they want to dress baby up as for their first Halloween? OH and I have been thinking about it a lot recently.

 

[goddess25]

I am not sure what we will be doing on halloween.

I am hoping my hubby can be off that night so he can take the kids out trick or treating and I can stay home with the baby in a costume and hand out candy at our house. I bought a tonne of decorations last year in the sale that I am looking forward to putting out into the garden. Looking forward to carving some pumpkins and its going to be lots of fun!

 

[Lownthwaite]

Well last night was ......... interesting!

I had BH and random sharp pains through my tummy yesterday - also had 2 poos which is more than normal for me! (Sorry TMI!) Ate my tea and went to bed.

I got woken up at 04:30 not feeling well. I didn't have any pain I just felt really unwell. I was absolutely boiling (my skin was hot to touch!) I had no clothes on (sleep nudey ) but I was still boiling so opened the window - and it's cold out at night now but I was still too hot. I felt really faint like I'd pass out, even when I was lay down. I remembered my midwife saying if you feel faint to get in a position where you won't hurt yourself if you do pass out but try to get your head lower than your body so I tried leaning with my head between my legs off the bed but couldn't because bump was in the way I ended up on the bedroom floor on my hands and knees trying to get my bottom higher than my head. I didn't pass out but felt SO ill! I felt so ill I even thought about calling an ambulance a few times. I got DH up because I was scared.

I then realised I needed the toilet so I went and ended up with diarrhea It wasn't pleasant!

Still felt a bit off after that but got back in bed and managed to go back to sleep trying to ignore some random BH.

I had a routine midwife appointment this morning - I told her what had happened. She checked BP, urine and baby - all fine and she said it sounds like it could be pre /early labour signs - my body gearing up ready for the event! She did say though if it happens again to not hesitate in ringing the hospital. Just because I didn't have water loss or stomach cramps it doesn't mean it isn't labour!

Have any of you experienced anything like this?

With my DD I didn't feel any different until my waters suddenly broke!

 

[ptr]

No idea what to do for halloween outfits, I am actually waiting to see the gender then I might dress them up in matching themes but not sure what yet. We shall see.
