May 2013 Babies

[Courtney917]

Freaking out....my three year old has the flu. Not only am I worried about him....I'm also worried about me. His pediatrician freaked me out BC he said he's more concerned w me and to watch for signs of pneumonia with my son if fever doesn't break by Thurs

 

[MizzPodd]

Courtney I'm sorry to hear that I hope your little man starts feeling better soon and you make sure you don't get sick missy! Please let me know how you two are doing tomorrow... I pray all gets better

Afm- Dentist gave me antibiotics again and said take for 10 days and if I'm fine, then come back after I deliver!!! Yesssss!!!! I'm so happy and the pain has lessened since I started the penicillin so in thinking everything will be good !! tomorrow is 28 weeks for me.
I'm only worried about these contractions And lower pain that has been increasing it's kinda how I felt the day before I went into labor with dd2 so confused but I can't wait to go to my appointment. I'm trying my best to wait until appointment tomorrow. Dont wanna have to go to l and d today or night! But I know if it gets worse I have to do the smart thing and go in. I love my ob doc and just want to see him tomorrow tho! I trust his judgment.

 

[MizzPodd]

Kelly I hope they can stop the contractions. Did they give you the shot in your arm to stop them? Or is it just the procardia? Oh I pray you and baby are good.... Guess what??? You r one week away from last tri so I just know you can do it and make it there and even further!! I'm 28 weeks tomorrow and cannot believe it; I will probably be in denial! Lol let us know about your appt sweetie

Cgav nothing is wrong with you! It's hard to believe I know I still look at my toddler and just feel like its not real, can't believe I'm a mom! I don't know when that feeling wears off yet!

Amanda im glad you passed Your test; mine is tomorrow!! Great thinking Amanda stay optimistic girl!

Tour it looks beautiful and definitely cozy I say get it!

 

[Tournesol]

Yay Mizzpodd!! 28 weeks!

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks Mizz! I am hoping I don't get it as well...especially after how sick I got with the noravirus. I'm worried about how high his temp went...103.8 .

I'm sorry you're feeling pain like that...hopefully it subsides. Keeping you in my thoughts!!!!! Glad dentist worked out!!

 

[manuiti]

Court - hope you and the little man are ok, and that his temp goes down.

Mizz - yay for the dentist and getting to wait until after giving birth. Hope the pain goes soon.

Amanda - glad you passed your GD test.

Tour - I've ordered the Manduca baby carrier mainly because it's ergonomically correct for baby's hips, and also slings scare me as I'd be terrified I'd suffocate baby. I know it's irrational but personally, I can't get past it. So that's how I ended up choosing the Manduca.

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks Manu! !

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Appt went good! Yay Mizz on 28 weeks! Cervix still unchanged at 3.6 cm. Baby is still head down and at this point they expect him to stay that way. I will have a growth scan in 2 weeks and see how he is measuring! Come on May!!!

 

[Courtney917]

Glad cervix is unchanged! Wow cant believe ur at 3.6 cm....hoping baby stays put for many weeks to come! !!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Kelly great news!!! I'm happy your baby is still staying put! Guess that ffn wasn't accurate! can't wait for four weeks to go by.

I wish I could say the same about my cervix. I knew what was happening becuz these were the same pains like with dd2... My membranes are sitting on my stitch so all that cervix is gone. I'm greatful I got the stitch becuz without it, I know I woulda kept dilating last night. I read about some women going to full term with membranes sitting on stitch so I am praying that is me. He prepared us for the worst and let us know where we would transfer and stuff but he was glad that I am 28 weeks he said baby's chances r good if I end up delivering soon. He said he can't predict what will happen becuz we've done all we can. Now it's just a waiting game to see what happens. They will remove stitch if my water breaks or if I start labor ing.... Baby is measuring right on time!!
I will know my glucose results by end of today. I hope I don't get it again!

Please keep us in your thoughts ladies becuz I want to make it to 32 weeks at least!! Oh please let me make it that far. I will be more at ease delivering at 32 weeks versus now but I still feel better knowing I'm finally at 28 weeks and baby's odds are very high

 

[manuiti]

Great news ILuv!

Mizz - so glad you're at 28 weeks, but I so hope you're able to hang on for 32!

Afm - managed to get hold of the anti-D meds yesterday and going round to a friend's house soon (she's a nurse) for her to give it to me. And my Manduca baby carrier arrived today. But I've been very restrained and have just added the box to all the others so hubby and I can open them all together when he gets home. And atm I've got a baby foot sticking out right in the middle between my ribs. lol

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks Manu! Haha Awww that little foot! It's so funny becuz you can just kind of push it back in and sometimes get a another kick. With this pregnancy baby is super low so I haven't had feet in runs yet but I do feel then sticking out sometimes.

 

[Courtney917]

My son is so ill with the flu. I am getting really worried (of course google doesnt help much). He screams in pain if I touch him too hard and is now refusing liquids. He hasn't eaten much of anything in 5 days (aside from a couple bites of fruit and some sips of soup). He's listless and only urinated once today. Doctor said to bring him back on Thursday if symptoms don't get better. I am so worried that my little man is dehydrated. I don't know what to do and feel like crying bc I feel so helpless. I've never seen any of my children this ill and it scares the hell out of me

 

[MizzPodd]

Courtney take him in now. Even tho doc said wait til Thursday, he is not getting better and not eating or drinking I would take him in because its your child and no one knows him better than you. If you feel in your heart that he can't wait til Thursday, then take him in now. I pray he starts feeling better it's completely understandable y you r crying and feeling scared. I can't imagine how I would react in that position

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I hope you don't catch it Courtney! I've had some sort of virus for 2 weeks now and I am seriously about to scream!

Mizz-My goal is 38 weeks. I am hoping they induce again with the GD and the possibility of a big baby again. I plan to ask at my next appt just to get an idea of what we are looking at.

 

[MizzPodd]

Kelly I took my glucose yesterday so I'm waiting on results now... I hope I don't get it just because I think I have enough stuff to deal with! Lol doc is talking about putting me on magnesium or procardia if I keep contracting. I can feel the baby way low in my pelvic and it's very unsettling because I know my water could break soon. Oh give me 4 weeks please! Just 4 weeks! That's my goal as of now. Doc doesn't even want to say I will get that far (false hope).
But your goal sounds great and reachable! Especially with that great cervical length

 

[MizzPodd]

I failed so bad that I don't have to take the three hour one but this is what happened with dd1. They skipped the three hour one. I'm not surprised just disappointed as this is just another thing to pile on lol but I already have my carb diet going as of today. I have my old notebook with the different meals I ate with dd1. I pray they don't put me on insulin again. Hopefully since I know how to eat properly this time my sugars will stay under control. Well at least I know I will deliver in about 10 weeks now if I make it that far.

 

[Courtney917]

Hi everyone. I'm at the emergency room with my son waiting to be seen. His Dr. Sent us BC he's worried about dehydration. Please keep him in your thoughts.

 

[Courtney917]

So sorry u failed ur glucose test Mizz

 

[MizzPodd]

Court big big he is in my prayers for a good recovery. I'm so glad that he is being seen sooner than later! Please update us when you can. Stay strong girl
