brai- im glad you got some peace about upcoming labor fears! :hugs: sometimes i feel ready and sometimes i feel really scared knowing whats coming.

i have had too many friends and my sister have adverse effects from getting tubes tied. it can really mess up hormone balances. im never getting mine done. of course everyone has to make the best decision for their self and their family. i guess only time will tell if we have any more:shrug: i hear ya about the bc too. that can really make some havoc on your body's hormones too. we will be NTNP. could have no more, could have 10 more, lol!
 
i am terrified of surgery (of any kind) and i wouldn't be able to handle the panic attacks that would come with it. If we ever go with some sort of permanant BC hubby will be getting a vasectomy.

I hope everyone is feeling well. Im home from my photo shoot - hopefully in a few days i'll have some fun mat pics to post.

I am just cleaning my house a bit - totally forgot to go get my blood work done :dohh: so i will go to the lab tomorrow.
 
Tankit, yeh i am all ready now just babies blinds that are going up tomorrow then his nursery is completely done and all bags are packed. Going to use these next 8 days to sort things out , washing ironing, gut the house, want to move the living room around and clean alot of the carpets so a spring clean, OH is off until Saturday and then in for 3 days then of for two weeks so have plenty of helping hands, going to get all the little bits done so that when we come home from hospital its all spotless and lovely,. my friend is dogsitting and my mum is having my little man whilst we go in so i feel so much more organised that everyone has a place and job to do lol xxx
 
Yeah i probably wont decide until the last minute. It just makes sense for us. I am watching this baby show and the ladies reaction when the baby came out was priceless. She said oh shit!
 
Just ordered groceries for delivery for the first time! It was nice to not have to waddle around the store. It made me a little nervous for some reason though? They will be delivered on Thursday so we will see how it goes. Also ordered a present off of the internet since DD has a birthday party on Saturday. I even paid the extra for them to wrap it, as I dont want to be bothered! Doctor appt tomorrow, dentist on Thursday, DD going to party on Saturday and my baby shower is on Sunday! Should be fun. Then another doc appt the Tuesday after that, which will only be 2 weeks to go! It is getting too close!
Hope everyone else is doing well and feeling ok.
 
I had a crappy 37 week appointment today. I actually left in tears because I was so frustrated. My fundal measurement is 41 cm, and last week it was 39, so I don't know if baby is not engaged anymore, or if he is just growing lots?!

2 weeks ago, this doctor told me that he was going to induce me at 39 weeks and possibly earlier, depending on what the measurements were when he did them at this appointment. Well nothing happened at this appointment!! He said he was tempted to induce me at 39 weeks, but next week when I go see him, he will do the measurements or get the hospital to do them, and then he will see. But he said that if I am not dilating or cervix thining or anything like that, then he is just going to leave me!!!!!!! So then I was like well what about the size of the baby?! And he asked if I meant too small, and I said no, too big and reminded him that I was told to expect 10 lb +! So he said if that is actually the case, then he will probably just offer me a c section, but he's not concerned about the size. I told him that I was!!

So my appointment today was a waste of time! I had to drive the 1.5 hours today for this appointment, when I could have just stayed here and seen the doctor that was here today! I'm not impressed!

I am 3 weeks away from my due date, and I don't have a friggin clue about anything!!! Not once have I been checked for dilation, effacing, or anything!!! I've only had an ultrasound at 19.5 weeks (and 24 weeks when I paid for a private 3d scan).....how do they know if everything is actually ok or not?! What if I have low fluid, or the cord is around the neck, or something is wrong with the baby?! :cry:
 
:hugs: Melissa. That sounds terrible. Sorry it was such a crappy appt. I would be concerned as well and it doesn't seem like your dr is listening. I hate being told one thing - and it not comming to life sucks.
 
im sorry melissa- that sounds very frustrating. i wouldnt have even known something was wrong except that they do a 32 week scan here where im at. i had started noticing that the baby wasnt moving like he should have been at 30 weeks on. but if it had been my first pregnancy i might not have been able to tell. i hope you get some answers soon:hugs:
 
I've never had a very active baby to begin with, so I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking out for. I've told them he's not very active, but I don't think they listen to that either?! I just wish I could know more, instead of having to keep on waiting.

I seem to be leaking more fluids today too. Maybe it's a sign that he is going to come on his own soon?!

Sara, your avatar is cute :)
 
I hope its a good sign Melissa. My OB says to lay on your side and you are watching for 6 movements (can be wiggles, kicks, punches, rolls etc) in 2 hours. If you don't get them, then get a drink of something sugary and try again... if you still don't get them get your butt to the hospital. I actually asked her about this today - because the movements have slowed down considerably in the last few weeks. She said the movements are going to be gentler, but still looking for same amount of movement. I hope that helps some.

Thanks - my new avi is one of the pics from my photo shoot today. It was a lot of fun.
 
Very cute pics Sara!

Melissa S, I am so sorry they left you feeling so frustrated and worried. Can you go see your local doctor that you mentioned and get a second opinion, maybe ask for a cervix check or an ultrasound? I definitely agree you do not want to wait and worry for three more weeks with no information!

AFM I've been feeling like complete crud all day. This cold is making me miserable, and we received news today that my Dad has basically stopped eating :-((( Not sure yet what the rest of this week holds, but please keep all of us in your prayers!

:hugs:
 
looks great!

Is it supposed to be every 2 hours?? I only notice him move select times throughout the day. There is no specific time or pattern to it, just basically whenever he decides he wants to.
 
I am debating about asking to see the doctor when he comes on Wednesday again, but we don't have an ultrasound machine here, so that part is out. I honestly don't know what he could do for me though?! He wants me to be delivered by the other doctor, as that's what that doctor specifically does. My doctor is the chief of staff at the hospital, but I don't know if he would actually go back to the other doctor and say to do more for me kind of thing?! Plus, by the time I see him on Wednesday, it's not much longer to Monday......so I guess just try to forget about it until then :shrug:
 
Angela sorry to hear about your Dad :hugs:

Melissa we were told just to go to the maternity ward if movement decreased (even if it doesn't stop) and they attach the fetal monitors and check the baby's heartbeat so if you are worried rather go in and check especially this late in your pregnancy. Sorry your appointment wasn't great - like you I am having to wait til the very end to get a date - I do know I will be induced but not a clue when and my family is annoying me cause they want to come for my birthday and see the baby but who is to say I won't be being induced on my birthday? I've told them all not to make any plans yet and just wait - hopefully will know on Friday.

I actually though things might be starting last night as I was very uncomforatble last night and then woke at 04:00am with a lot of painful contractions everything between 10 and 6 minutes apart with nausea. At 5am I woke DH and asked him to just make me warm as I was freezing cold and shivery - possibly low sugar levels with it. The contractions slowed down about an hour and half later so were obviously false and I got my sugars up when I stopped feeling so nauseous.
 
Thinking of you Angela! :hugs:

The freezing thing has got to be a pregnancy thing. I am so cold lately, and I am driving OH crazy because I keep turning up the furnace. Here's to hoping for real labour soon!!
 
lo is 1 today omg how time has flown i cant belive it, she can say mum dad and can walk all the things i hoped for by her birthday i am such a lucky girl
 
Happy Birthday to your little one 2nd time - they do grow up so fast don't they!
