Hopefully they get it sorted out nix! Too early for little miss to get here.
i am waiting for my doc to call back. My tooth is still killing me and can't get into dentist until next week. They told me no ibuprofun so i called to ask what i should do since tylenol is working worth crap and i am in agony. BP is slightly high today, which i think is just from being uncomfortable. Might end up calling again since they close soon and still haven't heard back.

 

[2nd time]

we are all having a rubbish day to day hugs all round

 

[Nixilix]

Yeah hugs all round from me too! Not checking bp for another 2 hrs so sleep for me x thanks guys xx

 

[braijackava]

Well i have true sympathy for you now nix. Doc just called and its off to labor and delivery i go. They want to see if my high BP is from the pain or is my preeclampsia kicking in. Luckily my dad is in town so he can watch the kids since hubby is at work for 6 more hours. Leaving in a minute for the hospital.

 

[blessedmomma]

oh no, everyone is falling apart!!!!

nix- thinking about you, get some sleep!

brai- hope everything is ok and your tooth settles down!

natty- doesnt sound good with it being so low and having light headedness with it. mine is generally low, but not that much by any means! hope you are ok and baby too!

 

[readynwilling]

Huge huge to all

Rach & Brai - I hope you both are ok

I have felt yucky today too. Very tired, got some laundry and dishes done, but don't have any motivation to finish.

to all...sounds like a rough day for some of the March mommies. I'm doing okay but am off to the chiropractor after work to see if he can help some with my back--as i developed some wicked back pain (along spine mid back one sided) 2 days ago...DH says it's the main muscles in the back compensating for the front load. it hurts no matter what i do. so have taken 4 walks today to keep loose and had some ice cream to make me happy i'l go to chiropractor and then sit on my exercise ball tonight--when i lay down i feel pretty good so will get some lounging time after the day is done!

hope all headed to hospital are doing fine and hope those dealing with yucky days at home feel better too.

Yikes all - I spent the day at work incommunicado and missed the news that we are all having a crazy day! Everyone feel better!! Hugs to all!

Membas, that back pain is exactly what I've had; mine's been the right side and it KILLS me. OW, ow, ow! I think your DH is right, it's because we're carrying all the weight in front. Sigh.

 

[braijackava]

On my way home. Tests all came back good, bp a little high but not horrible yet. Got a prescription for some vicodin for my tooth so going to go home and take some and get a good nights sleep.

 

[membas#1]

angela, mine is right sided too--chiropractor helped...he did some massage and then some light stretching out of my spine...and he had a pregnancy recession (belly/breast recession) pad for the table so I got to lay on my stomach comfortably! OMG i want one! it was so nice...LO was kicking under me as I'm sure she could tell her space was slightly impeded upon, but i was not squishing her and it felt good. he told me i could like recreate that at home with a blanket rolled up and put into a horseshoe shape as long as my hips were supported and that my belly had some support but not getting squished. I'll be trying--he also told me to have DH help with stretching my spine out some (hand at bottom along sacrum and hand at mid/upper back on spine and just gently pulling in opposite directions) felt really good. TOmorrow i have a 1 hour massage---he said that when the back muscles are trying to compensate for the front load (he said men with beer guts have the same thing), they tend to shorten and shorten until they spasm out...and muscle spasms won't just go away without some amount of massage or other type of therapy--so i'm glad i went before it got bad bad.

brai, glad you are on your way home and hope you get some rest tonight!

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Oh Ladies so many of us are having such rough day today....took me a bit to read all but Cant remember names with issues...pregnancy brain. I hope you all feel better soon and babies stay put a bit longer! Hope to hear some good news in the am.

Going to try and sleep the last two nights have been completely restless and very uncomfortable too all....keeping all march mommies in my prayers for healthy mommies and babies!

 

[rottpaw]

Thanks Membas! I may have to look into massage for these last few weeks. I have never been to the chiropractor but just about ready to try anything that might help!

 

[blessedmomma]

membas im glad you got some relief hun! so thats why my lower back hurts. i have seen those tummy cut out tables on tv, i wish i had one to sleep on at night

angela- sorry your back is hurting sweets! hope you can do something to get some relief.

brai- happy everything is ok for now

everyone. hope tomorrow is better!

 

[2nd time]

well its 3am and with ddon one side of the bed snoring and dh on the other snoring i cant sleep plus i think i am worrying about my litte baby i realy dont want indction or special care so hope she is still happy at next ctg

 

[braijackava]

BP was 139\90 when i got to the hospital, but went down when i rested. Luckily no bedrest yet, but we will see if it stays that way when i see my actual doctor on tuesday. Luckily hubby starts his new shift tomorrow, so he will be home before the kids get off school everyday. It was exciting to see the nursery and the baby warmer in the room, just hope i don't end up back in there before he is born. I have a horrendous stomach ache. They said it is probably from not eating or drinking much all day since my tooth hurt. I think it is just a ton of trapped gas. It hurts! At least the tooth feels better. Oh my a massage sounds wonderful. I will take one please!. Nix hope you are out soon too! And hope everyone else is doing good.

 

[Tanikit]

to everyone and hope Friday is better than Thursday was. Hope everyone's BP behaves better today (Nix, Brai, Pinky and anyone I am forgetting)

Going to take DD out today and try to stay out the house a bit today as that seems to improve everyone's mood here. DH has a cold so I am wondering how long it will be til we all get it, but so far so good.

Was also feeling very down after the appointment yesterday because the doctor went on about how shoulder dystocia is more likely with diabetic babies and all the risks of having a big baby but then said induction was still fine and the measurements are probably wrong. I just don't want to make the wrong decision - I just want baby to be healthy and fine.

yeh i hear you i just want a healthy bayby preferably in 3 weeks at least had my second steroid shot so back to hospital at 9pm then last shot tommorow at 9am really hoping they dont want to induce straight after i am in the dark about when they plan to bring her which is stressing me a bit been told to rest up but with 11 month old that is not easy

 

[pinkycat]

I hope we all have a better day today.
Nixilix- i hope your BP is ok and your allowed home
to all that need them xx

 

[Shell'sAngels]

oh my big hugs to everyone from me too!!! sounds like everyones falling apart here!!

I had alot of problems with my last pregnancy but i guess i should be very greatful this one *touch wood* has been kind to me so far.... she has said that and prob cursed it now lol...

I am feeling very tired and dizzy though but think thats the anemia.

Anyway lots of love to everyone fingers crossed our babies all behave and stay put a wee bit longer xxx

 

[blessedmomma]

shells- i hope your anemia isnt too rough these last couple of weeks

brai- glad you are home and all is well

tanikit- i hope your LO is ok now and during birth too. its scary thinking about how much you try to do the right things to take care of them for 9 months just to have all these added risks during labor.

2ndtime- i hope yours stays put for a while and is healthy when she gets here.

nix- you still in the hospital???

hope today is better everyone! im feeling water logged lately. drink so much i feel sick sometimes and do nothing but pee all day. hopefulyy some of it is getting to baby. some research says it doesnt help and others say it does...
