Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[Sbmack]

Congrats on the marriage and new house, POSD17!

I hope everyone that is sick feels better soon! I had a little cold all of last week and it was awful....can't imaging being super sick and so preggers.

My doula is on her way over to give me a massage!! yay!

So after reminding everyone that today is my last day of work allll week, they've forgotten. I remind them I have to get caught up on everything for this weekend and every single manager gives me a doe-eyed "what do you mean its your last day?"

These people are idiots. Pure idiots.

About an hour left of my work day and I'm out of here!

My phone just corrected yahoo to "ya huge". Thanks auto correct, I wasnt aware.

 

[Murmers0110]

She is in the 34th percentile. Measuring a few days behind which is in the correct time zone. Weighs 6 lbs and her head is WAY down! I didnt get to see her pretty Lil face. Also they had a hard time measuring her head which does play a factor in her size measurements. Ill update more about me after I see the dr. So far ive only done the scan.

That was my previous Facebook post. Sorry for the double post.

I came back negative on my swab test! I was b told b I'm thinning and am .5 dialated. Also I was told I have keystones in my urine and to drink more water but It was not explained more. What is that?

 

[POSD17]

I think it was Kalon too, which is crazy because I think we both had the same expected due date and both are having, she already had, boys! Hopefully she can tell me how it was when she is back on here.


Anyway thanks everyone for the congrats I appreciate it!

Looking forward to the next few weeks so much is going to change for everyone!

Congrats on the house and wedding POSD!! You really have been busy.

Murmers - ketones in your urine just mean that your body's not getting enough of the nutrients that it needs. Be that from food or whether you were slightly dehydrated at the time. Very common in 3rd tri as baby takes most of the nutrients you take in to help with their fat stores which is why it is recommended that once you reach the 3rd trimester you increase your calorie intake by 300 calories a day.

Does anyone else feel like they're wearing meatsocks? I didn't have a problem with swelling this whole time, now suddenly my feet and ankles look like tree trunks. Pretty gross!

What is everyone naming their babies, by the way? I don't think we've ever discussed it.

 

[SisterRose]

:O how weird angel, but exciting! I wonder if our babies will weigh similar at birth?

Feel better soon goddess x

The measurements they gave you are bigger than mine, but I am hoping mine is actually closer to yours right now.

I hear they can be pretty far out and inaccurate with growth scans, so maybe they will be a similar weight! hope for you that your little one is closer to what mine is estimated. I know a friend who had severe IUGR the other year, and they estimated her little boy to be 5lb the day before he was born and he was born a teeny 3lb 6oz at about 36 weeks so that shows how wrong they can be! I've also heard people say they were told their baby would be small and then had 8lb babies

 

[SisterRose]

Oh, I also tested positive for GBS earlier in the pregnancy so I'll be having IV antibiotics too.

 

[Hotbump]

The toilet is my new best friend, i cant seem to need to go pee every 5minutes yet i dont have a uti or any infections, anyone else?

 

[Lownthwaite]

A bit of an update:

I've just seen the midwife this morning and baby is engaged! She said his head is well in my pelvis and she can't move it.

She doesn't think he's going to be huge as I'm now 39+1 and he's only measuring 36.5cm but she's not concerned at all.

I'm just sat here now hoping there is some truth behind the whole "second babys don't engage until right before labour! Don't want to make it to my consultation next week! Midwife said she'll be surprised if I do!

 

[PaiytonsMummy]

Congratulation kalon

 

[ptr]

Yay for good news low! Fx you go soon!!

I have name picked out but didn't announce them, i will when baby's born as I don't know the gender

I pee all the time haha I'm used to it. You can always ask your dr to check if you want to.

 

[Junebugs]

Yay low!! That's is great news

Hotbump- I am on the toilet all day long aswell.... I hate when s/he is sitting on my bladder and it feel like I have to go but then nothing comes out

As for name, I have a couple names (both boy and girl) but I won't know until the baby is born.. we always want to see the face first just to make sure they match the name

 

[Murmers0110]

Mine is ripley elaine. I still havnt changed the name tag in my signature. I probably won't get around to it lol

 

[Girly922]

We're exactly the same junebugs. We've got a couple of names in mind. We can't decide as we're team yellow anyway and we want to see what LO looks like first. Just to see if the name suits.

 

[ptr]

yep, that's what happened last time with my DD... had two girls name but when she was born we just instantly knew she was a Calliope.

 

[broodymrs]

Yep need to pee constantly but never actually need to, and feet also keep swelling. Had a brill appointment today. Couldn't have sweep as mw couldn't reach so had stretch instead. Head is now engaged and cervix soft but not dilated. Really pleased with the progress made in the last week. Think acupuncture has helped to soften cervix so hoping my acupuncture induction works mon! My personal guess is mon/tues for arrival! Fx i'm right. Our name is dylan jesse but don't mention on facebook as keeping it secret from ppl we know until he is born.

 

[Hotbump]

I get checked for UTIs and other infections at every appointment and I get the all clear every time! I hate when I run to the restroom and nothing happens

I have another ultrasound appointment tomorrow this will be my 5th scan....how many scans jas everyone else had?
