Yeah my earliest was 36 weeks and the latest was 38 weeks. I don't think i will go before 37 weeks unless something severe happens and it happens fast. In the past i have always been able to control it with bedrest and hold out until baby is ready or close to. How is your bedrest going?
 
im pretty bored. i cant really do anything to relieve feeling restless. my hubby is painting the kitchen right now- its 10 at night here- he is full on nesting. i want to help so much, but cant.

to top it off it seems like im starting to lose my plug. lost it for over two weeks before my water broke last time. i know it doesnt really mean anything. im cramping and my back is killing me, think from sitting here so much. its harder than i thought it was gonna be. i know that a lot of women have it much worse with aches and pains and complications though so shortly after i gripe about it i feel like a punk...

i was thinking you had yours much earlier than that. i hope you make it good and far this time. did any of yours have to stay in NICU?
 
My son was born at 36 weeks and had trouble breathing. He was on a breathing tube for 24 hours and then in nicu for 2 weeks learning how to eat and breath correctly. The other 2 came home with me. I was only on bedrest with my daughter for a couple weeks, and not at all with one of my sons. But my first son i was on bedrest for 6 weeks. It was horrible and i didn't even have any other kids then. I feel for you. Everytime i see the doctor and i don't get put on bedrest i am so relieved!
 
my DH definitely has not minded the pregnant belly, boobs and everything else. He has a high libido and it has not slowed much at all--if anything it's higher...or perhaps that's my perception because he wants more than me right now. i still have a pretty good interest in sex, but we are getting to the point where i'm limited on how i can ummm...move around, so it's a bit limiting and sometime a little frustrating. plus having to stop because of a cramp or something gets annoying...but we still manage 2-3X per week, especially on weekends when i'm not working full time and have some time to rest up :)
 
Hi all, just got back from my scan and as far as they can tell baby is tangle free from the cord, so it looks like we are heading for a VBAC so whilst excited also very nervous.

Our little one is still a boy and currently weights 6lbs 7oz based on HC, AC and FL.

Still full of cold and feeling a bit miserable, been awake since 3 am so very tired.

Hope everyone is doing well today and BPs, twinges etc are all behaving themselves. 2nd time hope your injections have gone well and bubs is staying put for the moment.
 
cathryn- yay for chance of VBAC!!! baby sounds good and healthy too. how much did j weigh? i cant wait til next wed to find out how much mine weighs now. it will have been about 2 weeks since they checked his weight so hopefully he has gained a pound or so. i think they are supposed to start gaining a half a pound a week somewhere in here

get better hun! you have been sick long enough, that cold needs to find a new home now... :hugs:
 
Thanks Melissa, J was 8lb 11oz @ 37 weeks so this one looks like it will be about the same at term.

Yeah on average they should put on 1/2 lb a week now, good luck for your scan this week.
 
thanks hun. im really looking forward to it. getting checked too so will get to see dilation/effacement and fluid levels :happydance:
 
I had an ultrasound on Wednesday - i hope my dr can guess at her weight with the measurements!!! I just want to know if she weighs 5lbs or 7 lbs now cause thats gonna mean the difference between a 7lber and a 9lber :haha:

I finally set my last day at work. I am taking off Feb 7th, 18th & 21st to make 4 day work weeks (with a 4 day weekend!!) and then im taking vacation from Feb 28th - March 4th. Meaning my last work day will be Feb 25th. And i will have 9 remaining vacation days that he will roll into 2012 so when i go back to work i will almost have 2 whole weeks accrued in case i need/want to take time off.

My shower is in a couple hours. Looking forward to it. My dad's GF sent me an email that her and my Nana wont be making it cause my dad got called into work and took the car because of the subway is under construction. So that sucks, but its ok!
 
They haven't been to interested in checking the size of my baby? Do you think its cause most of my kids were under 6 and a half pounds so they don't worry about it? Sometimes i wonder if my doctor is just lazy.
 
brai- i dont know why they wouldnt check the weight. maybe they just arent concerned with it or maybe they just didnt tell you what it was. my OB has the ultrasounds/scans in a room at her office so the ultrasound tech works there. their machine they use automatically figures the weight by the measurements they take and she told me at the end of it what he weighed based on that.

i know some dr's dont think the weight from a scan is reliable because it can be off by a certain amount either way. maybe your dr doesnt believe its reliable?:shrug:

there are websites that you can put in the measurements of your baby and it calculates the weight based on that too if you know the measurements.
 
The doctor put me off of work on Wednesday, so I have been done work since Thursday.....I've been enjoying my time at home so far, but it is a little boring as well. At least I am able to get some rest though.

I am wondering how far off labour is for me?! I have some of the early labour signs going on already....the biggest change too is that I had been constipated, but now last night and the night before, I had to go running to the washroom! I know in the books, it says early labour can be hours, days, or weeks before active labour, so I just have to keep an eye on myself.

I have an appt on Monday, and then I will have one the following week with the other doctor....he is then supposed to make a decision about when and how this baby is going to come! I wish I knew that already instead of having to wait so close to finding out.....
 
Possibly Brai although I know last time they kept checking but never told me til the end - maybe if you get another scan ask them to tell you. Although its strange how it works in the UK that you have to wait for the doctor to tell you what someone else saw - here the doctors do the scans so we see and get told at the same time.

Cathryn that sounds like a good weight for now. Hope you feel better soon.

I am really struggling emotionally (probably hormonally) Saw a psychologist today, but with so little time til the baby comes I must just see it out now. I want this baby out soon (now would maybe be good - if she's ready, but I don't think she is yet.)
 
well been and had my last steroid injection they did my bp 90/62 and baby is 3/5 head down so prob comming early regardless of the drs had another trace on baby she is fine had a ecg on mummy and i got ventricular ectopics just going to google it now as al i know is my egc was weird
 
Angela- im so sorry your going through this :cry: sending :hugs: and love your way xx

2nd time- have they said they are going to induce? when are you next going in? :hugs:

I have no idea how much my bubs weighs they dont do routine growth scans here, so im really excited to have one on thurs (cos of my tablets) im going to ask them to check the fluid cos i dont feel like i have much :wacko:

Tanikit - i feel like i want baby out the very second she is ready too :hugs:
 
no news on induction next in on monday god i feel like i am living at the hospital now, not too happy about m extra heartbeats but just googeled it in pregnancy and apparently its very common so touch wood i will be ok everytime i go to hospital at the moment this pregnancy gets more complicated wednesday i was fine now i have all these tests a small baby and a potential heart condition i might just stay home from now on lol feeling a bit sory for myself right now
 
:hugs: Angela - your baby does sound like it wants to come early. Glad all the steroids are in now and his lungs can get the surfactant they need. Hopefully your ecg is just pregnancy related - what other tests will they do?

Can we start talking very early labour signs yet? My baby has dropped and I am less breathless, I am not constipated anymore, I get sharp cervical pains often and the BHs have increased greatly and baby can only squirm rather than kick violently but that is it for now.
 
Tanikit, I think we have the exact same thing going on!
