March 29, 2011 Bump Buddies!!! 6 Boys, 1 and only Girl

[MissFox]

So baby wasn't moving so much yesterday and I was getting sad- but s/he woke me up in the middle of the night. Got a few really big kicks this morning and I would have felt them on the outside if I got my hand there fast enough.
babyseal- I hope that you feel better soon!!! being sick is nooo fun!
As far as getting married I'm just going to go into the courthouse and yell at someone. It's so unprofessional that I'm waiting over a week for a return phone call.

[BabySeal]

My newest symptom I am chalking up to pregnancy is my hip joints. They hurt and make me want to punch someone. They have always given me mild problems, I had surgery on one when I was 18. I am fine all day and by the end of the night I can't straighten my body up or bear weight. Poor DB has to drag me to bed.

I hope everyone has a good night, I'll do the new questionnaire tomorrow. Off to bed, goodnight!

 

[MissFox]

Sorry the hips are bugging you babyseal.
I went to the dr. today to try to figure out my shoulder problem. she said that it in NO WAY could be pg related! What ever, I know that it is. She basically accused me of asking for painpills/ anti-inflamitories. I told her all I wanted was for her to put that it's pg related so my insurance would cover physical thereapy and she said NO I AM NOT GIVING YOU ANTI INFLAMITORIES!
I wanted to punch her.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

BabySeal Sorry about the hip issues!

Missfox sorry doctor's appointment didnt go the way you hoped it would, hope your shoulder feels better soon!

 

[BabySeal]

Missfox that stinks your doctor reacted that way. I am so thankful I found a good regular doctor.. took some hunting but he is great.. (and puts up with me haha).

[BellaBlu]

Congrats MissFox! Thats super exciting. Getting married is such an exciting time.. I agree.. It feels like things are finally "right" when it's official

Now you just gotta apply for a new social security card and all that.. the joys.
That was the only pain in the ass about getting married was applying for the new card and all that.

Painkiller plan: No pain relief, G&A, Epidural? IV should help take the edge off- I really want to avoid the epidural as it has always stopped my mom's labor, but if I honestly can't handle it I might go for it.

 

[MissFox]

Bella- I've already had to do it 1 time this year, I'm not gonna stress on it. I just have to go first thing in the morning and it should be fine. DMV also. That's worse than the SS office!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

hahaha I have been married for almost a year and a half, as still havent got SS and DL changed, was just thinking I need to get this done, going to do it next week....talk about procrastinating big time!!!!

Congratulations on getting married today!
Oh and still dying to find out what your having!!!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

as for the epidural ladies....wait as long as you can or at least past 3 cm I labored for 14-15 hours just to get to 3 and my total labor was 24 hours (in hospital) water broke 2 hours before we went in. And to those in US dont get meds right away unless you want to be bed ridden....wish I knew this for my first.

 

[MissFox]

Yea, I'm planning on holding off for as long as possible. I've always had horrible menstrual cramps so I figure it's prepping me for something! I've blacked out from the pain being so intense and still usually don't take anything. I'm going to try to keep my normal "pain goes away" and "even when it's bad pain killers don't help like I want them to anyways" attitude. I had a spinal tap and was given 30 vicodin to last 2 days. I took 2 at one time, still was in pain so stopped taking them all together and just dealt with the pain. 3 weeks later it went away.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I'm sure a spinal tap is way more painful than an epidural, I do have to admitt my back hurt for a couple weeks after but I have horrible back pain from being in a car accident so dont know if that made the pain feel more severe or not.

 

[MissFox]

The spinal tap was horrible. I had headaches from it for over a month! I couldn't bend over and stand back up quickly and I ended up missing almost 3 weeks of work. I wasn't thinking of the epidural being too painful but I'm just afraid it will stop my labor like it did with my mother. And I've experienced a lot of pain and it sucked but I'm hoping I can use that to get through labor.
