Well she definately was moving about yesterday, and she kicked me really hard in the ribs, lol i was telling a story about how id seen this woman trip over and fall on her face in the street and it was really funny, then she kicked me! so she was either laughing with me or telling me off so laughing at someones accident.
My Oh is desperate to feel her, he spends all his time with this head on my stomach saying come on princess kick daddy, but i tell him she's still too little for him to feel it, he's going to be overjoyed when he can though, and he admitted he's really starting to like the idea of a daughter, i knew he would, but he does ask that i can get some other colours other than just pink ha ha

Hooray for Friday, Im thinking carpet shopping tomorrow, then visiting the MIL on Sunday, anyone got anything good planned for the weekend?
 
Pink: haha I would've been laughing too!!! Of course I would've felt bad that she fell but that would've been hard not to laugh, maybe your princess had your sense of humor and was laughing too! My Hubby gave up trying to hear when I was early but once he started thumping, flipping and moving all day and could actually be seen and felt outside my stomach even through my clothes my hubby was excited but got freaked out when it was continuous and went from one side of my stomach all the way rolling to the other, he never wanted to touch it again! Haha.

Arrrrggh: Im in baby Fever overload now! I need Cold Stone Creamery Cookies n Cream ice cream to satisfy my craving! Going on a 5 hr drive out of town tommorrow with DH and son and I have to drive bc my DH will be just getting off so washing and packing clothes for our 2 day stay.
 
Oh i cant wait for that, to be able to feel and see her on the outside, though im sure that will kill OH's desire for me sexually ha ha
thought when you say it like that I just picture that scene from alien with the chest ripping eugh!

Have a nice trip, make sure you stop and rest lots as it's a long drive, enjoy!
 
Oh and i was wondering the other day, where's Diamond, i've not seen her about in a while anyone know? hope everything is ok xx

:hugs: I'm sorry, garfie. Our bodies are cruel, aren't they? I hate that we get mock pregnancy signs after a m/c. We're already so emotionally fragile that we don't need false hopes. :nope:

I'm going to test again next Friday. If I did ovulate on Monday then I'll be 11dpo by then. But I'm going to have to distract myself because I know that symptom spotting is going to be useless this time around.
 
Hey ladies. Just needed to get this off my chest.

According to my OB at my appointment today and the nurse that drops by every Friday to check on me due to my GD ,the baby is still up high. The nurse told me that she likes to see babies at or below the belly button at 37 weeks. I am only 37+2 and I know I still have quite a bit of time left for this baby to do her thing, but I have this irrational fear she will stay high up and won't descend to put the necessary pressure on my cervix so that I dilate.

I know I shouldn't be so nervous about this, but I am really nervous about having a lot of interventions for my labor. I understand I might need the help of interventions, but I would like to go into labor on my own. My OB said he did not see any contractions on the monitor today when I did my NST and told me that without real deal contractions, I could not expect the baby to descend. I guess I should be thankful that I am not plagued with real deal contractions, but at the same time I am just worried I will be one of those women who have a really long labor and ends up with a C section. I am nervous about having major surgery. I had my gall bladder removed and the incisions were pretty small from that surgery, but I hurt something awful afterwards. My husband isn't going to be around to help me because he has to go back to work so I am hoping to avoid a situation where I would be trying to juggle a new baby and more extensive recovery.
 
Mama - I think I'd be stressed too. I can't remember when my DS dropped but I remember feeling like a lot of that final stuff happened rather quickly so it could all change in a day. I always thought the baby dropped relatively soon before labour? :shrug: I don't know exactly but I remember my mom would comment whenever a pregnant girl's belly had dropped that "her time will be soon" and we usually found out the girl delivered within the week.

I really hope you get the delivery you want. :hugs:

Thanks!! I am just really anxious. These last few weeks are dragging and just getting hotter by the day!
 
Mama I hope you get the birth you want hun. But whatever happens, trust me, you will cope just fine.

I was in a very similar situation. My OH went back to work the second night after DD was born and I had a c section. But wow the pure adrenaline of having her here, alive, and in my arms carried me. I didn't think healing from my surgery was bad at all. I just avoided stairs and stayed cuddled up in bed with my new baby girl as much as possible.
 
MamaTex, I know everyone's different, but fwiw, no one ever talked about whether my daughter had descended during my pregnancy. I know I was a little dilated for the last 3 weeks or so (2 cm at 36+4), but I never thought I looked different and it never felt different. Doctor probably measured but I don't remember her saying anything either way. I never had anything even somewhat resembling a contraction until it was SRS BSNS labor. It went okay. Maybe call up a doula or a midwife? Some of them really like to talk even though they won't be helping you through your actual labor? Perhaps they would have some thoughts on something you could do to help encourage baby to drop? Though I think a lot of the time, baby's gonna do what baby's gonna do. Fx for you, praying you can have the delivery you want. But no matter what, you are going to be on :cloud9: when you hold that baby in your arms.

(I've also heard of people having a closed, hard cervix and then BOOM DILATION.)
 
MamaTex can't wait for your big Day!!! And don't worry yourself ab the dropping and c-section, I agree once u have ur baby naturally or cesarean in your arms Nothing else will matter, the pain, the bleeding, seriously nothing will matter. I was told @ 37 weeks I didn't drop nor dilated, went bk in 38 wks nothing still but was told I had to get induced next wk. stayed in labor from 02/25 10pm to 02/26 they said he wouldn't come down anymore bc he was in an awkward position so c-section it was. When the doc came in an told me cesearean I told him no and I kept to it until my DH came in and made me do it which was the best choice for my baby to survive bc his heart was decelling. At the end of the day I find myself enjoying my ceserean after effects. You'll be fine!

Pink: Thanks and yes ma'am, that totally had killed any sex life we had....and at the end of my pregnancy all I wanted was sex and he denied me! Lol

Starry night: Im sorry ma'am for what you're going through. I've been there, but my problem was keeping the baby, loss after loss after loss....wondering when was it going to come to an end. At One point I felt like my body was damaged but I kept going, kept trying and kept praying and God had heard my prayers and watch me cry day after day. Don't give up on this journry😔 bc it does get tiresome, my 3 losses can't compare to some but once u lose 1 it's almost as if you lose your soul ESP. if you really wanted that. I'm praying for u and everyone lady in here whose having a hard time, if I ever make anyone feel uncomfortable with my comments let me know bc I've been there and I don't want anyone else to have to be there either.

Great Day ladies!

FX for everyone!!!
 
Hey everyone! I've been lurking, but too tired to respond most times. This new job is killing me.

My husband wants me to go talk to a therapist about the miscarriage and infertility, and I think it's way overdue. It's really been this ongoing struggle and burden I carry around everyday that has really impacted a lot of my life. Like at work, when everyone is talking about their kids and showing pictures, I have nothing to contribute but still have to look interested in THEIR kids, when I really just want to run far far away from that conversation. I'm still angry. When people I went to high school with are having their 3rd child, and I'm still struggling to get pregnant, it pisses me off. When the pregnant woman at work is bitching about how crappy her summer was because she couldn't drink because of her stupid baby, which is also her 3rd, it pisses me off. And it hurts. The void from being childless and inferitile is killing me, and is often most painful when nobody is around that I would talk to about it, leaving me to suffer in silence most days.

So that's my rant, and I'm seeking council.
 
ESwemba: I've had to deal with the same feeling of anger so I know where you are coming from. I know I am pregnant now, but don't think I still don't get upset when someone talks about not being able to drink. That makes me mad too!! Also, don't force yourself into uncomfortable positions.

What is now an ex friend would irritate me whenever I went over to visit her because she would constantly complain about her kids and about being a mom as if it was this burden. It would make me so angry. She was blessed with three awesome kids, but I got the impression from her that they were just one more thing in her life that made it difficult. I miss those kids way more than her. She was just unpleasant to be around and made me so mad that I had to sever the friendship. I know it is harder to walk away from people at work, especially when coworkers can be so adamant you share in their kid-related show and tell, but just pretend you need to be elsewhere or do something else if you can. I hope you find a positive release for your emotions and can start feeling better.

To everyone else: I am sorry if it seems like I am putting down a particular way of delivery. I want to apologize if it offended anyone. A healthy baby and a living mama is what is important in the end. I appreciate the feed back yesterday. I feel a little better. I alternate between excitement and nervousness. If I go in fearful, I won't have a positive experience no matter what happens so I am going to work on being more positive and just continue to stay informed of all the options I have available to me. I am grateful to live in an age where modern medicine allows for the best possible outcome when assistance in labor is needed.
 
Mama - no worries. We all want our deliveries to go perfectly and enjoy the moment of meeting our little ones. But I do think there is a lot of pressure out there to have the perfect everything....perfect pregnancy (yummy mummy, anyone?)...perfect delivery...and the perfect baby with the perfect nursery. Labour is called "labour" for a reason. It's work! And anything can happen. This is one time where the ends do justify the means. I think everyone is just trying to encourage you that things will be OK. If we could get through tough labours, then you can too.

And I have heard my fair share of perfect delivery stories so it is very possible to get the birth you want. I had a friend who even described labour as "easy". So there you go. lol
 
Es, I'm so sorry your struggling just now I think therapy is a really good idea, venting on here is one thing but a professional is another matter, I've seem many over the years and whilst I'm still crazy it has helped.
I can't possibly imaging what you're going through, yes I lost a baby but I fell pregnant again relatively quickly (6 months) at the time I thought my world was over and I still think about my lo and the things I won't get to do but I feel blessed to be carrying this little one, so I won't say I know how you feel because I don't think anyone does really only you know and some days are worse than others, but you're doing everything you can to ensure you can conceive and carry full term, there is no reason why you can't have it all, I really hope you do soon. :hugs:
 
*hugs* ES. Vent anytime you need to. :) Glad you are going to be able to talk to someone though. Hope it is a healing process for you. I don't know if I could ever stop being angry about women who complain about not drinking during pregnancy, or complain nonstop about having kids, but it doesn't have to own you. Wishing you the best. <3

AFM: I'm on CD2. I think. CD1 was kind of a weird one where it could almost pass as spotting but not quite? Ugh. Hope I ovulate at a normal time this month because if I ov late it'll put me too close to my gyn appt. I don't know if I've ever looked forward to a regular gyn appt this much before though. Looking forward to finally getting to talk to a Dr about why I can't get pregnant again. Still nervous though b/c it's a new Dr and the first time I've seen a man for lady problems. He comes quite highly recommended though.
 
Hey everyone, hope your all well.

I have to tell you thins story about my stepson, he's a lovely boy mostly but he really has his moments, he's 11 nearly 12 and he's a boy so i guess they just dont think before they speak.

So we were over at my MIL's yesterday visiting with the family, my new neice was there she's 6 weeks old and such a cutie, she was on a blanket on the floor and my SS comes in and starts showing me this strange kick thing that involves throwing himself on the floor, so i said, 'dont do that, if you lose your balance you'll kick the baby in the head' to which he replies 'i wont because im not stupid and even if i do they can just have another one' can you believe it, so i pulled him up for it, which is getting easier and easier, he's not mine so i dont like telling him off but sometimes it's necessary.
Then when we were on our way home in the car, we were talking about the baby and the new parents, and my SS says 'that'll be you soon.....Unless you have a miscarriage' I went absolutely mental i can tell you, he doesn't know about our loss but even so that is just darn right inappropriate to say isn't it?
When we got home it was mentioned again and bless him without prompting he said 'im sorry if i upset you with what i said' and i tried to explain to him calmly that he needs to think before he says things as people can get upset and that talking about the loss or injury of a child is not funny or acceptable, i said with reference to the comment he made about my neice and how 'they can just have another' 'How would you like it if i said Oh it's ok i can injure you because your mum has another 2 kids so she's wont care? that's upsetting right and of course your mum would care' I think he got it then.

But it really bothers me how i had to deal with all that on my own without my OH, he was in the car as well when he said it but apparently he didn't hear and course i just totally jumped on it without giving him chance but i shouldn't have to tell a nearly 12 year old that that is unacceptable should I?!?!
I dont know what his mum and stepdad let him get away with but that is just darnright wrong!

Sorry for the longwinded rant but i was so put out by it, like i say he's normally such a good boy, he's really excited to have another little sister, he wanted a brother but when we told him it's a girl he said 'Oh well it's better than nothing' which i thought was nice, and he keeps saying things like 'our baby' 'when we have our baby' I was concerned that he would feel a bit pushed out but he loves it, but then he's come out with sometingvile like yesterday and i think 'Why you little......'

Anyway other than that i got to spend the day with a 6 week old baby and get some practice in loved it even though she has colic and cried all day bless her.

what's the news, anything going down?
