May 2013 Babies

Kelly, I can't imagine how scary all this must be. Although its difficult try to stay calm and rest as much as possible. Were your other children early? Nothing but hugs and positive thoughts, I hope baby stays put for a few more weeks. At least hes at a good weight!!
 
Tour - great bump pic! On top of medication, try lying on your left side as much as possible so that the acid has to travel uphill if it wants to get anywhere.

Courtney - loving the scan photo! And all the best for your test.

Mizz & Iluv - hang in there ladies. I've got everything crossed that you both make it way past 28 weeks. :hugs::hugs:

And Mizz hun, I hope you get the closure you so desperately need soon.

Amanda - hope you feel better soon.

Pad - how are you getting on hun??

Afm - had my 3D scan yesterday. Here's our little guy. I'm so in love!

Manu awwwwww look at that precious face!!!! He's soooo beautiful!!! :D

And thank you for your support! I think I will make it past 28 weeks!! This baby is so strong already :)
 
A friend of mine had her baby today and it is making me super anxious for may!!!!
 
Beautiful little guy Manuti!!!

Ugh I have a fever, cramping, pressure and vomiting anything I eat. All I had today was soup and a pretzel. I called nurse bc of pressure of cramping and she said its probably a stomach virus as its going around right now. Idk I wish they were a little more thorough, I'm nervous bc I'm at risk for pre term labor. Does the symptoms warrent a trip to er or just a trip to my bed when DH comes home?
 
Court I had stomach cramps the night before i started dilating with my sac was sticking out. I just thought the cramps were normal since I'd already been pregnant before, but I was dilating without knowing. For me I would go becuz I would hate for something to happen:( better safe than sorry... Maybe that's just becuz of what I went through but I did have cramps the night before and just thought it was a bug or something. If you r at risk then is say its worth the trip just to be safe! :hugs: please update and let me know what happens
 
I'm thinking I should head in. The nurse at dr office was convinced it was a stomach virus bc "its going around." My fever just went up to 101 with tylenol. Ugh, I hate going there for them to act like I am an idiot or something but I guess it better to be safe then sorry. I'll keep you posted, thanks :)
 
Yeah if your temp is 101 with Tylenol, you should definitely go in. 101.4 during pregnancy is considered a fever and you are already at 101 with medicine. Don't let them bully you or make you feel stupid. Your baby health and your health is all that matters sweetie :hugs: I pray it's just a nasty bug... But they should check you for infections just in case since your temp is getting high. I really hope you feel better soon
 
Thanks ladies! Both of my kids were term with no issues. This is a huge shock! I have been contracting on and off all day. I did call the OB and as long as the procardia is stopping it, they aren't entirely concerned. I'm taking it easy as best I can and trying to get used to my new "normal".
 
Thanks Mizz!!! I'll get there with you! I will check that thread out. I am so not prepared for any of this. Just praying my cervix does NOT change or I am in so much trouble. I would love to just stay home and not end up back in that hospital.
 
Kelly see your attitude is great! Keeping calm is the best thing right now :) the specialist I went to told me some ladies are considered contractors meaning they contract on a regular basis but its supposedly normal as long as its not continuing with medicine. She called me one but really does that make us feel better? Lol I'm so glad your meds are working to keep baby in! The forum will help you feel a little more prepared I promise and those ladies are very kind and inspirational after all they went through with their preemies :) there's someone on there who had a baby at 23+6 weeks and their baby is doing good, I think a year old now! But we are aiming for 28 weeks... Survival rate increases to 95/96 % around 28 weeks :D

Court how'd it go last night??

Amanda I hope you are feeling better these days and enjoying your new house!

How is everyone else doing??
 
Manu, I do try to lie on my left, but sometimes I wake in the night and find I've rolled over, then have to run the bathroom as the acid is so bad it makes me throw up!
Never mind, 27 weeks today, I'm on the home stretch! :happydance:
Your little man is gorgeous xx

Court, I hope you're OK and it is just a bug, thinking of you xx
 
How did it go Court? Hope all's ok and it's 'just' a bug.

I'm so excited for all of us ladies, I just know we're all going to get there this time and I hope so much that we all stick together and keep this wonderful group going once our little ones are born.

:hugs::hugs:
 
Manu me too!! That would be so nice to have a group of ladies caring for their babies at the same time :) there's a lot I am going to be learning all over again, especially if I'm having a boy!!!
 
Quick update: all is ok with baby and I. They monitored baby and he is doing really well then they did an internal exam and made sure my water didn't break. Doc said that pregnant women present symptoms of a stomach virus different then normal people. She said the pressure is from the achiness as well as baby starting to get engaged. She said as pregnancy progresses the pressure will get stronger bc this is my third baby. Basically I have the wonderful noravirus, its horrible I don't wish this upon anyone! I'm scared my kiddies will get sick now:-(. On a positive note, I got to see all the newborn babies while I was up at labor and delivery and even heard a few that were just born. It got me excited and incredibly nervous at the dame time. Lol I was laughing bc they had to stick a swab down my nasal passage to check for the flu and I was being a Damn baby. I'm thinking I better toughen up bc that's nothing compared to labor lol.

Hope you're all doing ok and taking it easy. Yes we def need to keep the group going after we have pur babies :-)
 
I'm sooooo happy you two are okay!!!! I praying everything would be good. I hope you get over that nasty virus soon :hugs: and so glad you went in so they knew what was wrong instead of oh it's nothing. Is there medicine for the virus you have?
 
Thanks :). Thought I was getting well today until I went out to the store and felt so sick now my entire body aches :/. My son has swimming tonight but I think we will have to miss it as I don't want to overdo it. No, no medicine bc its a viral infection and not bacterial. They offered me zofran bc of the nausea but I declined it, I hate taking things during pregnancy. Hopefully this will be done with soon, i HATE feeling this way it's terrible.
