sammy- im on bottle #2 or 3, not sure.

bella- hope everything goes well!

i have always been able to keep up with my pregnancy in the past, but this one has really gotten away from me. a little nervous im not bonding with the baby like i should. between kids, buying a home, moving, and day to day life, i just cant keep up. usually im more than up to date on my pregnancy books. broke them out last weekend and realized i havent read hardly at all. we sorted through our old baby clothes and bought one blanket. usually by now i have an idea of what i still need and when i want to get it. there is just no time seems like!!!

Okay, So I thought I was going to bed..

Instead I need to vent.
Just found porn in our internet history.. Not that big of a deal but it just makes me want to cry right now As if I don't feel self concious enough with all the changes I'm dealing with, I know I'm not hot stuff right now but the least he could have done was delete the history and leave me some dignity..



Pregnancy is beautiful in its own right of course, but I'm still trying to get comfortable with it as Ive always been big on "keeping myself up" .. it seems like no matter what I do anymore I dont feel pretty. & rant so on.. & so forth..

I'll spare you the excess whining.

Aww Bella....all I can say is "Men what the heck are they thinking?" I have never had a problems with this with my DH and hope never to. Have you talked to him about and and how it makes you feel? Keep your spirits up hun....I'll be praying he get his head on straight

 

[BellaBlu]

Yes in the past, he knows I hate it.. and I didn't think he did it anymore. I know alot of people think its not a big deal but it just really makes me feel bad about myself, especially right now

Gosh my hormones. I'm crying like I just lost a pet over DH watching porn..

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Men just don't understand women especially pregnant ones....they don't get big bellies, they don't get emotional, and just don't know how sensitive we are. I hope you guys can talk through this, and praying you'll be better emotionally.

 

[BellaBlu]

Thank you Sammy

AWW thought I was going mental...lol Bella it says your offline....for a minute I thought I didnt post my last post...lol

 

[blessedmomma]

so sorry bella

thats just not right at all...

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Just occured to me that tomorrow make me 22 weeks! that means 18 weeks to go or less

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for 22 weeks!!! i am 25 weeks tomorrow, cant believe i have made it so far so fast

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

so that makes you three week exactly ahead of me, with your second labor did you go early or late? and was the delivery shorter than your first?

 

[blessedmomma]

here is how mine went...

1st labor: 15 days early- 15 hours
2nd labor: due date- 8 hours
3rd labor: 11 days late- 7 hours (induced)
4th labor: 8 days early- 9 hours (water broke)


as you can see, mine really have followed no pattern. i guess you could say all of them after the first have been quicker. dont know if thats how it generally works, but thats how mine have come

 

[MissFox]

Hope tomorrow goes smoothly bella!
Hope you all are having a good day. I tried to spend time with my mom to get my MIL problems off my mind- now I'm just dealing with crazy moms in general. lol. Oh well.
I'll talk to you all later.

with my first my water broke the day after due date, but it took him 24 hours to make his debut. I am wondering if I will be early, on-time, or late, and also wondering how many hours in labor. Gonna try to wait as long as I can before we make the trip to the hospital.

 

[blessedmomma]

sammy- the only one my water broke with was my last. i guess i expected that after my water broke it would go really quick. its weird that it doesnt make it faster.

i do have to say that my contractions took a while longer to start after my water broke, but they were much more intense than usual. dont want that again! and it was your first, so you had nothing to compare it to. you had a rough first one!

 

[braijackava]

23 weeks today! Woohoo!

My first I was induced 14 days early due to high BP. Took about 24 hours from arriving at hospital to him being born.
Second was induced 28 days early due to high BP. Took about 10 hours from arriving at hospital to him being born.
Third was induced 21 days early due to high BP. Took only 2 and a half hours from arriving at the hospital to her being born.
With all three I was not dilated or effaced at all when I went in to the hospital. It makes me wonder/worry how fast this one will go. My last 2 I got epidurals, but they didnt work. =(

 

[blessedmomma]

brai- looks like you have quite a pattern going on!!! you might have high bp really early and have that baby in half an hour, lol!!!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

I felt so unprepared with my first, because my water broke I didnt feel my contraction right at first but came in and they were 3-5 min apart probably about 5 hours in they started really hurting so I took some pain med in my IV still only 1cm then found out I was bed ridden for the remainder of the labor after 14 hours only dilated to 3cm so I got the epidural, and then 10 hours later finally had him so a grand total of 24 hours and no sleep water or food...I was a mad woman to say the least....lol

I only pray this one is a little quicker iykwim...lol
