melissa- im glad you will get some rest from work before baby gets here cant wait to hear what day they are gonna induce! we might have the same day. mine is wanting feb 15th, but im planning on asking for feb 18th at least.

pinkycat- its worth asking about fluid. it only takes a scan to find out. i know there are also signs that come along with it. like less movements from the baby, mine seems very very calm. but when he does move it can be very painful, even squirms and turns feel rough. online it says they can actually feel the baby's outline better from the outside.

2ndtime- im glad your done with your shots. hopefully baby will stay put anyways!

tanikit- its the same way here with scans. my lady is not my dr who does it, but she explains everything to me and if i want her to check anything else out she does. she also gives all the info to my OB so if i have more questions she can answer them too.

i am definitely having some early signs. my back constantly has sharp pains when i move around, i have cramps on and off all day, and my hips just kill me. it could i suppose be from the baby being so low, and he could even be so low from having less cushion from the low fluid levels. i have also started to lose my plug though. and definitely having more BH and more painful BH

I will definitely be anywhere from February 14th - 28th.....I am guessing around the 21st will be the max they will let me go though, as that is 39 weeks already.

I got the rest of the baby stuff (bottles and such) sterilized yesterday, so it's all good to go. I have a few things left to get for my bag, but that's about all, other then getting the car seat installed.

[msarkozi]

I have no idea?! It didn't say that in the instructions at all......

my steraliser is a tommy tippee electric one and it says it keeps sterile for 2 hours as long as not opened , worth checking

 

[Shell'sAngels]

hi girls!!

not much to report here!

Labour signs.... not much really, apart from a big change in cm! im getting alot now so much so im having to wear panty liners and its creamy in colour... and babies defo dropped but i feel he keeps changing posisiton still i dont think hes staying put, he also likes to stay to one side of my body is anyone else finding this?.....oh i seem to be errr clearing out alot too lol but thats it!

 

[Shell'sAngels]

cant see that being correct about 2 hours sterile cuse you would be sterilising one bottle at a time for each feed... i always bung all mine in and they stay in there over the 24 hour period and grab them as i need them, i know you shouldnt keep the bottles going once made up for anymore than 2 hours though

 

[msarkozi]

I have sterilizer bags that go in the microwave. My bottles actually said not to boil or microwave sterilize, and just to use the dishwasher or soap and water.

 

[Shell'sAngels]

ah i see... i have steam sterilisers, not sure about them sorry!

 

[blessedmomma]

we specifically bought a dishwasher that has a sterilizer button on it. so everything in there gets sterilized when we have bottles in there. mine i just boil for about 4-5 minutes each before using the first time and about once a month until 6 months old even though they get sterilized in the dishwasher anyways.

melissa- i think the 21st would be the last day my OB would induce me too. i only say that though because the 22nd i would be 38 weeks and she said she was inducing at 37 weeks. we could very well be having ours on the same day, that would be awesome!!!

shells- mine has been laying on my right side for at least 2 weeks now. i know we are supposed to lay on our left side as much as possible, but i cant. he starts punching and kicking around and makes it soooo uncomfortable i have to turn back over

 

[Shell'sAngels]

Melissa mines the same on my right side, and if i lay on my left its not so comfortable?!?! i always end up laying on the right

 

[msarkozi]

that would be exciting Melissa. I am glad to know that I'm not the only one that sleeps on my right side. I try to switch to the left every now and then, but it's always my right that I end up on....baby doesn't seem to mind, even though he is on that side.....or I end up on my back as well.

 

[blessedmomma]

i love sleeping on my back or my tummy. cant do either right now. tummy is obvious why i cant lay on it now. if i lay on my back to long he starts poking at my bladder and makes me feel like i have to pee. and if i lay there too long my back will hurt all day long. cant wait to sleep on my back or tummy after he gets here....

 

[readynwilling]

I can sleep fine on either my left or right... but if i put a pillow between my knees i end up on my back. I am also now getting up twice a night to pee - and consider myself lucky cause i know some of you ladies have been doing that for a while.

Had a great shower - totally spoiled.

I caved and did a load of baby clothes - because a very cute hooded towel i got today fell out of the truck as we were unloading and got dirty so i put some stain remover on it and picked out a few items to wash to make a small load.

 

[blessedmomma]

sara- only twice to pee, is that all??? you are VERY lucky. im up a good 4-5 times a night. maybe even more now that im downing water all day.

didnt you want to get some sheets? did you get some?

 

[rottpaw]

Thanks Pinky and Tankit for the hugs!

Sara, glad you had a great shower! I did too. Really fun and tons of great baby gear. And a yummy cake that we'll be eating all week! (urp!)

 

[rottpaw]

Blessed, I'm with ya. I'm up 3-4 times to pee at least. Then I also wake up several times where I don't actually get up. Sigh. Exhausting.

 

[blessedmomma]

it really is exhausting!!!! the worst is when you wake up for no reason, or to pee and cant fall back to sleep for hours! its so frustrating...

 

[rottpaw]

It really is exhausting, and now I feel bad because hubby said I (accidentally) woke him on my 5 am trip this morning and he never got back to sleep. Poor guy

 

[blessedmomma]

poor guy. i figure if my hubby has to take one for the team when i do it every day though, he will live, lol!
