wow that is adorable angela!!!! :thumbup:

im glad you didnt have to do your own cake sara:haha:

i know to stay off google. curiosity gets the best of me and then i get the poop scared out of me. like my DH says, there are risks in the healthiest of pregnancies too and we cant dictate our own future or our childrens. we just have to have faith that all will be ok and pray for healthy and happy kids. i love him so much...:cloud9:
 
Lovely cakes Sara and Angela!

Well my DH does still have his job which is a huge relief - he told me at 01:00am last night. He seems less stressed knowing that and even though there are issues there he can at least look for another job if he wants without the stress of not having one.

DH asked DD when we are having the baby and she said "today" - I doubt that but we are at least into February now so the countdown is on for real.

Melissa - try not to worry too much. I went and looked up a site about type 1 diabetic pregnancies and it scared me like anything - was trying to find out about shoulder dystocia as this is the one the gynaes like to scare me with - it had about 20 terrible things that could happen on it - many of which I had known nothing about. I think in the end all I can do is pray and hope and trust - after all I asked for this baby for ages and it does say that if you ask for bread, you won't get a stone (sorry am not quoting properly - pregnancy brain and laziness this morning)
 
Glad he Stil has job. Love the cakes girls!

My baby has hiccups ALL the time! I read it could be cause of knew in cord and now I'm panicking about a cord accident. Got a home Visit with midwife today to check bp etc and prob have to see her weekly til delivery. Got antenatal class tonight too. 1st of 3. They bring a baby to the third!

I think I should be on the last box when I click "post" ! Yay!!
 
cleaned the cooker already and its only 9am lol baby fed gas man been to do service just got to wait for pram to be delivered and then off to soft play
 
tanikit- glad he still has his job, what a huge relief for both of you! an answered prayer for me... i know i need to stay off google. i was mad that my OB didnt tell me all this, but i guess they probably dont want to tell you everything that could happen just to make you worry and panic all the time.

nix- i hope you dont have a knot! dont know what can come of it or anything about it, but doesnt sound good. if its any comfort to you mine has hiccups all the time. and someone mentioned on here that it meant their lungs were developing good. so could really be a good sign instead of a bad one.

2ndtime- do you ever take a break???

i have an appt tomorrow for another NST and scan. i cant wait to see how much weight he has put on and if the fluid level has increased. last time they said he was very low and still engaged, im assuming from the low fluid around him, and that he had a bunch of cord in front of his face. i hadnt thought about it being an issue until i read yesterday that the cord can get compressed without enough fluid. now im really scared to lay on my left side at all, which was really uncomfortable anyways. he is laying on my right side and facing left, so dont know if i lay on that side if it will pinch the cord between me and his face. i know that he starts freaking out- kicking and poking around- being all erratic when i do, so im trying to not at all now.

should also be getting checked again so will see if i have progressed at all in dilation an deffacement since 2 weeks ago. since i could go into preterm labor on my own it would be good to know.

how is everyone else today???
 
Blessed, I am so sorry you have all this stress, honey. Try not to worry and just take things a day at a time. :hugs:

Nix - on the hiccups, my dr said once or twice a day is totally normal. They are actually a good sign of lung development (because the lungs have to be a certain strength before a hiccup can even occur). Like you, I have heard that "constant" hiccuping can be a sign of low oxygen, but if it's just off and on a couple times a day I would not worry.

So meanwhile at our house, it's always something! Like we don't have enough going on - last night, about 2 we were awakened to the sounds of an animal scurrying around in our wall. Right behind our bed. Oh, goody. I sincerely hope it does not get stuck in there and die. I can only imagine trying to survive the months of dead animal smell *right* in our bedroom while adjusting to a newborn in the house! We might all end up sleeping in baby's room just to get away from the smell! :wacko:
 
My BP was 117\67 this morning. Yay! I am glad it is behaving better, but also worried about what that means for induction. I am scared if she wants me to go to 39 weeks, i have never delivered a baby that has had that much time to grow! But then again my BP could shoot up anytime between now and then, and my doctor seems to think it will. I see mt real doctor today, so i am excited and nervous to see what she has to say. I haven't seen her since my BP started to go up.
tanikit hope things are getting better for you! You have had such a hard time with this pregnancy.
blessed hope your appt goes good tomorrow!
 
thanks angela- im just gonna talk to my OB about all of this tomorrow and like you said take it one day at a time.

wonder whats behind your wall??? that doesnt sound nice. wonder how you would go about getting it out. would you have to tear up the wall? how crazy.
 
brai- im glad your bp is going down again. what a roller coaster ride...
hope your appt goes good today!
 
Blessed - I am not sure how we can get whatever it is out. I am so afraid it is stuck in there and will die and smell. Yuck! Some friends had that happen and she said it was just awful. It's right behind our bed, so I can't imagine the smell. Ewwww!! I am just hoping it can either get out on its own, or maybe migrate to some other part of the house. Hubby stayed home today to try to investigate, but if it's in the chimney (or between the chimney and the wall) I'm not sure he can see anything. Sigh.
 
Hi girls

Had midwife today... baby is oblique still and i have alot of fluid more than last time, i have a growth scan on the 10th she said that i will be able to tell from that if he is still in that position and if he is then i will need to discuss trying to move him or a c-section, but she didnt seem concerned - now ive been reading everywhere allsorts that at my stage they should be head down and espesh with big babies (like i carry) and extra fluid its doubtful he will move, and it can cause cord prolapse?? i knwo i shouldnt read things but its worrying me now cuse she didnt mention any of this.
Oh and with regards to the hiccups i am the same mine hiccups a couple times a day at least! im worrying myself to death about all sorts now but my husband keeps saying - if she was that worried about his position/growth/fluid id have been sent to hospital, trouble is i dont have much faith in the medical profession since losing my lil boy last february cuse alot could have been avoided.
I think to make it worse the scan is on my lil boy Lucas's birthday and now im getting worked up that that is a sign!! arggghhh!!!
 
well soft play was brilliant best on i have been too dd really enjoyed herself wish i haddent had to chase her accross a bouncy castle but hay ho . pram arrived yehh bought cot bed yesterday which is being delivered tomorow. when i got up this morning my dh had cleaned the kitchen during the night. i have a friend who has offered to comean help me get te house done so i will clean the bathroom and wash baby cloths and let her put them all away for me at least thats a nic job to help with
 
shells- im sorry your LO is not head down. if its any comfort i had one at 41 weeks that wasnt head down. when i was induced at 41+4 he was. so hopefully you LO will turn. i have heard its pretty painful when they manually turn the baby but at least its better if you have more fluid to turn them. since having too much fluid is opposite of what i have, i have actually read up on that too. theres info about both on the same websites. there is a chance of cord prolapse, but it was my understanding that it would be due to waters breaking and the baby coming down to lay on the cord, i could have misread that though. i hope your LO is ok in the end! im worried about cord prolapse too, he could already be laying on it. i was getting worried about hiccups now too!!! i was thinking it was a good sign that he has hiccups all the time- to get his lungs prepared. but now im worried he might be getting them too much, which could mean cord prolapse and they arent getting enough oxygen :dohh: it just never ends does it...
 
:hugs: to everyone that needs them!

I want cake now that I've seen pictures of yummy looking cakes! :( Maybe I should just go make myself a splenda filled cake! :haha:
 
lol melissa- i was watching a show where they were having cake and ice-cream and made my DH go get some right then. :haha:
 
lol! a girl has to have what a girl wants, especially when pregnant! :)
 
So I was on my way to take my sick DD to the doctor, then go to my doctor. Anyways we stopped to get gas. I brought my dogs in the car, since they bark if I leave to long. I left my keys in the car with my dogs while I went to pay. And one of the stupid dogs saw a ball on the dash he just had to have, and managed to somehow lock the doors while he was getting it! Hubby is at work and couldnt be here for a couple hours. So I had to walk home, only like 2 blocks, but with negative windchill, 8 months pregnant, and slush and snow to walk through it was not fun! Plus my coat was in the car since I was having a hot flash when I pumped the gas. So now have to wait for roadside assistance to call so I can walk back there and get in my car. Watch now my dogs will try to eat the guy who comes to help! I am sure this will not be good for my BP when I finally get to my doctor.

Your right it never ends!! and yep now im worrying about the hiccups i seem to get them whenever i lay on my left side too which is near his head.... god sakes i need to stop googling stuff and try and relax just seems 10th feb is so far away!
 
:hugs: everyone!

Brai - that sounds like a nightmare!!

I have decided that on top of my video monitor, i need the angelcare movement pad monitor :dohh: but im trying to find used cause i already have a $200 monitor, i don't need to spend that much on a second. I have emailed about 3 used that are fairly local to me all for under $50. Here's hoping they haven't sold them yet!
 
Sara - is that one of those ones that beeps if no movement is detected (or however it works)? If so, my friend had one of those, and she said it's not worth getting. They are only useful for a few months, and a lot of people said that it often beeped for no reason at all.
