*** March Mummies *** 29 Boys, 34 Girls, 8 Team Yellow! 46 babies born!!

[msarkozi]

I had 4 prenatal classes, and OH was at the first one and then had to work for all the rest......I honestly didn't learn too much more from what I have read either, and I don't even really remember what we talked about, as it was all in November!! Guess I will have to wing it!

 

[blessedmomma]

i know how you feel sara! hubby and i are watching one born every minute right now. love it!!!!!

 

[readynwilling]

I want to watch it but i don't get lifetime

 

[blessedmomma]

i have been to classes with two pregnancies. that along with what i have read and experiencing it 4 other times, i think im good. even though labor and delivery has never been the same with any of them, or pregnancy for that matter, i get the jest of it.

we are using a new hospital this time that has a unit in the hospital for birthing and also has a separate birth care center for birthing. we took the tour of the birth care center, but you can only have birth there if its expected to be uncomplicated. i dont know how things are gonna go now, so we are gonna tour the regular hospital birthing floor this weekend. will be nice to get out of the house for a minute. i have to ask at my appt tomorrow if its ok, so hoping it will be. even if i have to ride in a wheel chair i want to get out of the house!!!

hello march mommies. sounds like some are having a rough few days. i just got caught up on posts. sorry for those going through issues such as low fluid, babies not being head down and high BP. sorry to be so generic in my response. i read all your posts while in the tub for a soak and now i'm out and cant' recall all the specifics.

and yeah--google can make things worse stress wise, so best to just ask your doctors or midwives what types of concerns there might be. listen to your bodies and don't hesitate to call your dr/mw if you feel like you need to--that's their job! even if it turns out to be nothing, it's best not to sit and stress over things.

not much news on my end. have another dr appt thursday. it's a week early as she was booked all next week for my normally scheduled 2 week check up, so they put me a week early. don't expect much as i was just there on wednesday for growth scan and checkup.

made some homemade curry lentil soup tonight--thinking i may have oversalted, but it's good will freeze a couple containers for when baby comes...my goal is to make a new soup each week and freeze a couple containers--so when baby comes, we'll have yummy soups to eat without cooking. so far have turkey/rice, chicken/rice, oxtail/veggie, and now lentil. the others i only have 1 quart of, hoping to save back more of the lentils tho, as they are a fave (although easy enough to whip up for a quick meal).

went for a swim last night and DH went with me--he is an LMT and he worked on my hips and lower back in the water--just getting me into some relaxed full range motion--my hips never felt better this morning. it was so relieving! i also took my spare exercise ball to work and it now acts as my office chair--no issues today since i stayed out of my work chair...think i'm onto something! guess i'll be sitting on exercise ball for the next however many week are left!

take care all

i have never seen one born every minute. i should see if i can find it somewhere to watch online. i've just heard about it on BnB

I don't know how i feel about our 8 hour birthing class...i'm sure we'll be bored at times. i am looking forward to our hospital tour on monday! although i've been there before when my friends have had babies...will be fun to be on this end of the spectrum and maybe meet some other preggies

Seems like everyone was busy last night - sorry if I forget everything -have been reading while trying to hear about flying zebras and dodos from my DD - and with pregnancy brain multi tasking is becoming more difficult.

36 weeks today. About 2 weeks to go now and that sounds so little but last night was awful - needed the loo about 10 times, had DD in the bed with us and I was very sore and uncomfortable - strangely the BHs seem to start the minute I lie down now which is weird. Didn't get much sleep at all. At least the nursery is now ready - I could nest in there for weeks still but if baby were to decide to come then we'd be ok. Baby has been pretty busy - I am having an enormous amount of pelvic pressure but I still don't think this little one is getting ready to come out yet - was wondering if I wasn't being induced when she would decide to come.

Good luck with all the classes - I feel clueless. Hope everyone has a good day today and that babies behave.

Hugs to all! Spoke to my mw lat night and she said do not worry about hiccups as they are a good thing. Xx my movements are fab so that's the most improtant.

Ok I'm off for my morning vomit then off to work. 3 days left!!

you can watch one born every min on www.channel4.com/oneborn it works in the uk so cant see it being different for usa.

baby idnt come last night lol but still got strong bh's so dont realy know whats going to happen going to chill today thank god

 

[Tanikit]

2nd time glad baby stayed in - stay in still a bit longer baby.

I must admit I want this baby out now. I am irritable as can be, getting very easily frustrated and am fed up and sore - I wonder how much is hormones and how much is the fact that sleep seems to be a lost cause. I need to go and get some insulin and a filter for the vacuum cleaner, but both are in opposite directions and will involve long drives with a toddler in tow. I feel like I am losing the plot here - not sure what to do or not do anymore. Come on baby - you have permission to come now even if it is early!

 

[pinkycat]

Wow loads to catch up on.
Forgive me for not responding to everyone, my brain is too tired.

Blessed- Do you have an app today? If so i hope all is well

Shell and nix and blessed- seems there is a few of us worrying about hiccups/cord/fluid etc you can add me to that list! im stressing out too.

Shell - I can understand why your so worried. Would a trace of babys HB (CTG?) ease your worries at all? It seems a long time till 10th to be worrying.

Tanikit- Thank god your DH still has a job. Great news.

Yesterday was the day my DD1 was born at 35 +2, i find that so strange.
Iv got my growth scan tomorrow, DH thinks i will be kept in (wishfull thinking)
My pram has come today and last bit of baby washing is done.
Oh iv got the runs too, especially yest and today

I hope we all have a good day xx

 

[natty1985]

Hello lovely ladies

Hope everyone is feeling ok and big hugs to those who arent especially shells xxx

Melissa dont you have a scan today ? hope all goes well xx

AFM been suffering with BH quite bad too and needing the toilet about 7/8 times a night !!! Consultant tomorrow to see if were being induced but normal bloods the last 3 times so doubt it very much but im really looking forward to the natural side of things this time

Weve been trying to get the nursery finished here is a quick peek so far , still need to get the blinds up though x

 

[braijackava]

[rottpaw]

Lovely nursery Natty!

 

[readynwilling]

Very cute Natty! I still need to do blinds and curtains too. Then i need a laundry hamper and diaper pail. And the unpack, wash and organize. Lots to do and running out of time to do it, yet i keep procrastinating LOL

 

[Shell'sAngels]

hi girls

feeling abit better today, i tried to call and ask if they would scan me earlier and my hospital are useless and said no and that i was worrying so i just hope to god there right! i am gonna try not to stress about it but its hard going.
Hubby took me out for lunch to cheer me up today which was nice he has had a few days off so ive had some much needed rest! back to normality 2moro of running around on school runs and have appointments for my eldest son again which seem neverending at the moment!
Really jelous as my friend has been taken in to be induced today and shes only 1 week ahead of me lol hoping this baby comes in 2 weeks 3 weeks max or i will be pulling my hair out lol

 

[blessedmomma]

thanks ladies, yes i have a scan today. also getting checked for dilation/effacement and nonstress test. so far we are set to induce at 37 weeks, but if there are any problems with these weekly scans between now and then she will induce immediately. to me 37 weeks seems awful early, so dont want to go in today and have any issues.

they are doing another biophysical profile so will include checking fluid, his weight, placenta, cord, hb, measurements, and movement. he can get a high score of 8 and has been getting 6 out of 8.

2ndtime- glad baby didnt come yet and that your taking it easy today

tanikit- sorry your not sleeping good. i was up at 4am today so right there with ya hun

chrisssie- how did your DD do at 35+2??? hope your growth scan goes good tomorrow

natty- that set-up is gorgeous, he is lucky to have a great mommy!

hope everyone has a great day today!!!!

 

[pinkycat]

Lovey nursery Natty.

Blessed- She was fine. She was in a heated cot for a few days and was a bit slow to feed but didnt need special care at all and came home exactly a week later. I hope it's good news for you today so bubs can stay put for a while longer xx

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

Blessed praying you come back with great news with all your test today....keep the faith
