thanks hun! i love to hear the stories of women who had one at 37 wks and was fine. each one encourages me that he will be ok! im gonna try not to worry about it. even if he does have any problems it shouldnt be too bad i am starting to think. i really didnt want to leave him in NICU with breathing problems, that was my main concern. even if he has to though i know it would be for his good and all will be ok. at least 37 weeks is a lot better than 28, 30, 32 weeks, etc. even with any small complications that MAY occur. i am thinking he will be just fine, at least it wont be this friday! at 34 weeks, he would have surely had to stay.
 
well I made out good at the doctor's. He said I definitely had contractions, and when I asked if they were just bad braxton hicks, he said yes. He said I did the right thing by going in and that I am to go in whenever I have pain like that. He said they need to watch me closely, especially since my blood pressure is going up again. So I have to go back tomorrow for another check.

He did put me on medical leave from work as well, so I need to talk to my boss about that, but she isn't in the office today.......I'm not quite finished my work yet, so I am not sure what is going to happen with that?!
 
melissa- im glad your on medical leave. you need to take care of that baby as much as possible! does rising blood pressure have anything to do with GD or are they thinking you might be heading toward pre-eclampsia?
 
I'm honestly not too sure. Back in December, it was high and he said I was in the process of pre-eclampsia....but then my blood pressure returned to normal....although this week, it's been going high again. He was saying too that once the other doctor does the proper measures at 37 weeks, he thinks he will decide to induce me a bit earlier then 39 weeks.

I think I am going to go pack the rest of my bags now before I head back to work, since I have a bit of spare time......need to get that done!!
 
Melissa (Blessed) - I'm ok very tired and my throat feels like razor blades are hiding in there. Came home from work a bit early and had a bath - had hoped the builders would have finished by the time I got home, but they hadn't so couldn't relax completely... Will be off to pick up DS in a couple of minutes who will be very excited as its Nanny's birthday today, I had planned to take him around this evening but she has been taken out to dinner by a friend so she's going to pop over here on her way home so will have to try and manage his disappointment.

Melissa - glad the dr confirmed they were BH's and he's signed you off work.
 
im sorry cathryn! i hope you feel better soon, and that J doesnt get too upset. i know mine can throw quite a fit if he is expecting something and plans change. they are fun at this age huh! i bet it doesnt help any that the baby is so low now too, only adds to everything else being so uncomfortable. my hips and back hurt by the end of the day so much its hard to walk to bed. :hugs:

try to take a load off and get some rest, even if its just sitting for a minute. your a great mom and J and baby need you to take a minute to be at your best for them!
 
Melissa (msarkozi) glad they could confirm it was BH and that you are on leave now - look after yourself and your baby first and try not to worry about work.

Melissa (blessed) it does sound early if you are used to getting to 40 weeks but I am sure your little one will be fine. I hated having mine in ICU even one night though and this one will be the same story so I do understand it can be stressful. Will pray that his lungs work wonderfully when he comes.

MumtoJ hope you feel better soon.

Had a fairly busy day today and have pretty much finished packing my bag (just a few things left that will have to go in at the last minute cause I need them everyday) Also almost finished sorting out the nursery - I have one more load of washing to do and then must check the cupboard is properly packed and that will be it.

Baby is still low today though she seems to drop lower in the evenings regardless now. Have been in a bit of pain from her movements and the BHs are definitely getting stronger slowly. 2 more weeks til full term.

DH is still not home and it is after 20:00 - he never told me he'd be late today and I can't reach him which is frustrating me. He knows I want him to at least be available in case I need to call him.
 
tanikit- sorry about your DH tanikit. he really should be able to be reached as far along as you are. glad you got everything ready to go. thats what im doing today. my DH just left from lunch and told me to get back on my butt. i was told to be on bedrest til induction date to keep baby with as much fluid as possible. i was sitting on the floor folding laundry:shrug:nothing strenuous. if he saw me earlier finishing up packing our bags, he would have lost it. he is doing the dishes after he makes dinner at night. and started doing laundry in the mornings as of yesterday. i had my oldest DD bring up the laundry from the basement so i could fold it, so it wasnt like im overdoing it. he is too overprotective sometimes, but i know its only cuz he cares.

i hope your DD is feeling better today! do you have an induction date or a good idea of when they will do it? and are you getting a section or not sure yet?
 
bedrest would be very difficult...perhaps you could lay in bed and fold laundry :) that's bed rest, right? i'd be doing the same though....

back when i worked i always thought man i wish i was on bedrest to just get to lay down a minute when i was in my 8th and 9th months. im seriously on day 1, barely half way through and i am so restless! i guess i should try to be thankful that i only have to do it for a few weeks. some women have months, i cant even imagine. maybe if i had a job i would appreciate the break??? when they said bedrest, i thought oh yeah right. but my kids are unusually quiet today, even my 1 and 3 year olds.... what is going on around here???
 
No date yet, though I suspect it will be 18 February - our hospital is not very busy so they can fit me in anytime. Still set for induction unless baby gets too big so I suspect the date will only be decided at the last minute so they can get a good scan and estimate the weight closer to the time.

Don't think I could manage bed rest - I suppose I could get DD to curl up with me and then just read stories all day but I wouldn't trust anyone to do anything in the house and would hate not knowing what was going on. Good luck with it and enjoy the forced rest if you can.
 
i will be 37 weeks feb 15, but we are gonna try to get my OB to let me go to feb 18 so that i can have him on a friday. it would be better for my hubby to take vacation that day and start paternity leave the following week than in the middle of the week. im actually gonna see if she can do it on saturday, feb 19, but not too sure if she will do it on a weekend.

we could be having our babies on the same day!

I'm not sure--it says external use only--you'll be getting some inside your vagina with the massage...i would stick with 100% oil, you can do almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil...something without fragrance, essential oils etc...I could be wrong but that's my advice.
