Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[Girly922]

Girly, you certainly aren't alone!!! I found out I was pregnant in the very beginning of September 2012. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and then got pregnant again two cycles later and now am almost 10 months gone. I feel like I have been pregnant forever!!! I am throwing myself a pity party today. I had lots of stuff to get done and I wanted her to wait, but now I am done and I feel like she isn't going to be coming anytime soon. I have had BH all day for a week now, I lost a huge chunk of my plug three weeks ago. I even had sex last night. So much for that. I ended up having restless legs until 2am and then my son was up at 7am. I feel exhausted today. Luckily I got a hour-ish nap with him. I have had lots of energy for the past couple of weeks and today I feel like a zombie. I wish I could say it meant something, but I don't think it does. I am ready to have this baby! I want to sleep on my stomach again! I want to not have to take 10 tums a day! And I want to go to bed without restless legs!!!!

I feel you. I got pregnant at the very start of November. Had a loss at 6 weeks, had a cycle then fell pregnant the following cycle so have also kind of been pregnant for nearly a year!! Pity party all round I think.

I'm really worried I'm coming down with a bug of some sort. Have been feeling really sick since Saturday evening. Was nearly throwing up everywhere yesterday. Today, feeling even more nauseous and now my stomach's really tender. Think I'll be going to bed with a bucket tonight. Also been to the toilet #2 like 4 times today. Eugh!! My biggest fear is being sick so much I end up dehydrated and need IV fluids or something. Definitely feeling sorry for myself tonight.

[Sbmack]

Sorry you had such a rough time after the birth, low!! Hope you and the little one are doing well!!

We still haven't named our little girl either! We have until Friday. We would've liked to have decided today before we leave the hospital, but it's not looking good.

 

[jbell157]

I've been having tightening all day! It hasn't painful just occasionally uncomfortable. Its been going on since this morning and is still happening but its sporadic and not time-able. This is new for me, I usually just have BH like period cramps and low back ache. We'll see.

Good luck with the naming ladies

 

[Girly922]

Congrats low!! Sounds like you had it rough after but hoping you'll be okay now

Jbell - you jump the queue and leave me behind and I'm not gonna be happy!! I'll cry! Lol.
Good luck though, hopefully it means something's happening!

Im just poppin in. I try to keep up as much as possible with this thread but my baby had too eat lol. Ib try to read it b while I'm pumping. The nursing didnt work out real well. My milk has come in but she didnt wanna latch after the first day. We fed her by finger and letting her suck the drops of colostrum off then they turned into finer and syringe feeding. I was against artificial nipples. Then on the last day at v the hospital baby nurse was against what the previous nurse had us do which was feed apparently too large a serving of forumla to her with the syringe. So we were pushed into a corner by the whole " your baby has to eat " guilt trip and there was no going back lol. Oh well. Ee u tird and I don't mind the pumping.

Anyways about yall.... girly and low I am so shocked yall havnt gone yet! Im sending major labor dust your way.

cherish being pregnant. I miss it

 

[ptr]

Haha I miss being pregnant too but I'm still happy I got my body back I feel like an actual mom and am able to play and be mobile with my DD it's done a huge difference in our daily life activities!

Congrats on the new mamas!!!

I plan to post my birth story in here soon in a bit.

 

[Vanillabean01]

Hi ladies.. Still hanging in here... 40+1 and no baby... Saw the doc today and she said that she thought by the weekend but that means nothing to me.. Super uncomfy now.. Especially at night feels like I'm going to be pregnant forever!!!

 

[Junebugs]

I have a feeling I'm not going anywhere. But good news! There is a full moon this weekend so fingers crossed!!!

Lol

When I was pregnant with mason I was so sure that the full moon was going to make me go into labour. I even read an article that said you needed to stand facing it and rub your belly... so I went out for a walk and did that.... nadda... but I am sure I looked like an idiot if anyone saw me out there!!! Hahahhah

 

[girlnboots]

I don't miss being pregnant at all. The only thing that makes me slightly sentimental is when Marin gets the hiccups. I always thought those were the cutest things. I did wake up the other day and freaked out before I couldn't feel her move....then I looked over and felt absolutely stupid.

We had the hardest time waking Marin up to eat. I'd spend two hours trying to wake her up to eat, she'd eat for 10 minutes and only get a half ounce! It was so frustrating and discouraging. The nurse said she wasn't a very aggressive eater, so that didn't sound good.

Well, today I was so engorged that I got out my pump for 20 minutes, got 2 full ounces, and had a very happy, full baby. Now that my milk's in and I'm not having rocks explode out of my chest, if she's alert and latches, great! If not, I just pump and feed her anyways. It takes such a load off to know she's actually getting a full belly. I think the bottles are actually strengthening her mouth as she was getting some very strong pulls tonight.

I was always kind of against bottles and formula, but after actually getting to FEED my baby and seeing how much food she was getting, screw it! Making sure your baby has a full belly matters more than anything in the world.

Here she is! I don't remember if I posted here or not.

Also having a diffifult bf journey as my little man had a tongue tie...h wasn't able to latch most of the time. Nit wss fixed today at the hospital and we have been re learnjng. For the most part he has fed well but still topping up withfformula. Pls excuse all the typos..doing one handed while feeding.

I love having my mobility back too and not missing being pregnant at all really.

Congrats to all the new moms.
