[x-Rainbow-x]

hi girls , not said hello in a while

hope everyone is well

it looks like this baby is destined to be a march baby after all
( feb baby if i keep misbehaving)

ive been in hospital for a few days because of my blood pressure
now on medication which isnt fun as the medication im on means that the baby will have to have his blood sugars monitored for 24 after birth

im also on medication which i have been told i cant breast feed with
we were planning on combi feeding anyway but its like the choice has been totally taken away from me iykwim
so im toying with the idea of refusing treatment after delivery and exploring the other options

they think i wil be lucky to get to term , i have already had steroids for babys lungs just incase

i never had any bp problems with alex so who knows whats going on

xxx

Weight gain? Nope, I lost 4 lbs again at my last GD appointment so my total weight gain is under 10lbs so far (again). I just cant' seem to keep weight on during this pregnancy. Luckly the baby is growing nicely cause I'm not sure how they fix this kind of problem.

Yay for the last box Shell's!

Yup a nap would be great 2nd time - hope the ctg will go well.

Went to the park with DD and then the shops but I get so tired walking around - feeling like an invalid actually and can't wait to have at least some of my body back to normal again soon. Need to get out the hose a bit though so will get some exercise every now and then.

I understand how you feel Tanikit! I feel like an invalid most days too. Can barely move around normally. Yesterday I felt surprisingly good on the SPD front and thought, "hmmm, my hip pain is improving, THAT would be nice." HA! I think I overdid it a bit. Just walking normally, without taking the usual precautions that I would (like hobbling everywhere VERY slowly LOL) caught up with me about 7 pm last night. I was too crippled to walk across the den!

Thats good right... are they concerned? I have gained 13lbs just in January, I didnt start gaining any weight until I passed 22-23 weeks and then January came and BAM! 13lbs. I eat healthy so dont know where that came from.

Glad to hear baby is doing well!

Wow what a night.... after having the pain on my left side last night while in the grocery store I came home and rested in a recliner for about 1.5hrs I tried getting up and literally hunched over couldn't even stand up straight or bare any weight on my left side and was crying in pain for DH help. the only way I can describe the pain was it felt like a cyst bursting on my ovary. noticed baby had hiccups and then wasnt moving, so I called L&D and told me to monitor for two hours and if you dont have 10 kicks within that time frame come in. so I tried drinking cold water, walking, flashlight and then drinking some juice. Eventually towards the end of the 2 hr he started kicking again....so I went to bed all night I felt like he was trying to fully engage but wasnt having contractions so didn't wake DH up. Now I have pain on my right side so I am guessing it is round ligament pain. Called OB just to let him know about our eventful night and the nurse said he will call back if he feels he wants me to come in to get monitored. Oh and to top it off I have a cold I feel like my body cant handle all the strain of being pregnant this time around feel like I'm falling apart.

Hope everyone is having a good day. I am still gaining weight, still getting bigger LOL. Purchased a diaper pail yesterday. I will use it with garbage bags for the first month or until i switch to cloth and i bought some cloth diaper pail liners as well.

I found some new stretch marks today - on my belly (and i already had lots so im not really concerned.

 

[Tanikit]

Rainbow thanks for the update - hope your BP will behave and that baby stays in at least a bit longer. I have decided to leave the meds I can't breastfeed with after DD is born for now, but I guess it depends how safe it is to go without them - I should beok for a while and can get a more breastfeeding friendly version if necessary.

2nd time yay for a good ctg!

codegirl that sounds pretty good - is baby growing fine? I have not stood on a scale in a long while but have definitely not picked up close to what I did with my last DD.

Rottpaw does spd disappear as soon as you give birth or does it take a little while? Sure you are also really hoping for the end then.

Rebel-Fairy congrats on the baby girl!

Sammy sorry you have had so much pain. Keep us updated and hopefully it is ligament pain - although that can be really sore. Apparently colds are quite common right before labour but you still have a way to go - hoping you feel better soon.

Ready I have also started getting new stretch marks - managed til 36 weeks with DD and then got loads, this one they have started slightly earlier.

my belly is one big strech mark lol i always think ever mark is a kiss from your unborn baby and sign or how amaing women really are yeh for the scars of motherhood lol who likes bikinis anyway

 

[readynwilling]

The first set of marks i have are from me being overweight - then i lost it all, so i ended up with lots of shink marks LOL.

They aren't too concerned because my ultrasounds show consistant growth of the baby, although I did get the "if you lose that much AGAIN I will raise my eyebrows at you" from my GD doctor

 

[Shell'sAngels]

i did the same gained weight in januaray a 15lbs just went on!! madness!!

 

[blessedmomma]

hi girls

great news on good scans although very jelous! thursday cant come quick enough!!

Anyone still gaining weight loads? i seem to have sprouted a extra ass now!!

so funny!!! know exactly what you mean. i usually gain over 60 lbs with each pregnancy. have only gained 15 this time, but its only cuz i didnt lose all the weight from my last pregnancy. he was 5 months old when i got pregnant again, so wasnt much time.

2nd time- im glad your test went ok.

brai- i think you said you had something going on today. hope its going well.

as for stretch marks, i had a great body before my first. i managed to make it til the last week i was pregnant with her without stretchmarks. i got pre-eclampsia and gained over 20 lbs in a week from all the swelling! got stretch marks real quick then. i never liked bikini's anyways so wasnt so bad for me. im modest with my body, of course during childbirth cant be too modest, lol!

i am remembering today how it is with a newborn. is everyone ready??? its amazing how different things become. i know that for me just getting a shower in is such a great accomplishment and getting a meal in while its still hot is miraculous! i dont know how single moms get along. i am so ready for my DH to get home so i can eat, shower, take a break, anything, i dont know what i would do without him. it takes so much physically and mentally to take care of a newborn i think i need to start preparing now! im not talking about the first couple of days, i mean a week or two into it when you havent slept and there are so many needs to be met all the time.

 

[2nd time]

i keep remembering what it was likethis time last year the smell of new baby lol i am ready and so excitd just worried how i will feel not being pregnant after being up the duff for 2 years straight lol need to remember who i am and whos body i live in

 

[codegirl]

I'm ready for the baby cuddles but not for the lack of sleep

 

[2nd time]

i feel propper excited today lol baby smells ahh i am so broody

 

[Shell'sAngels]

everyone keeps worrying me that im showing signs of labour approaching soon cuse ive had the pooing for england, the lots of discharge, the restlessness, the feeling of wanting to be on my own, bad braxton hicks and very snappy!... mind u ive just described most woman when pregnant hahahaa! but i still dont think this bubba will come early and on its own, i will be induced i just know it!

 

[Tanikit]

Shell's I have all those signs but also think this baby will come when induced.

Baby smells - I love it. There are certain things that are starting to remind me of having a newborn - some are great and some very scary. I know I used to put the carrier in the bathroom with me so I could have a bath and hope that I could lean over and comfort her if she cried - never worked, I always had to get out! As for the sleep - well that has started already and has been a thing since before DD was born, but there is a difference between waking and being able to go straight back to sleep or collapse in my DDs bed and waking and having to change nappies and get up every couple of hours.
