*~* May 2013 - Spring Babies*~* 117 Jelly Babies - 22 Boy's & 19 Girl's - 5 Babies :D

Woohoo Cupcake! Have fun painting!!!!

We got the painting done about 3 weeks ago & that was a huge accomplishment. I was beginning to think we would never get that far!
 
jtink.... That's just wrong of them. I'm sorry, but they should call either way that way you don't spend all day waiting on HOPEFULLY no news!!!!

pinktiara.... I kinda went into panic mode over the weekend when I realized I'll be 28 weeks this Friday. At 32 weeks they won't stop labor if it starts as they say Mason will be fine with a little assistance breathing! That's 4 WEEKS AWAY??? Where the heck did the time go???

haha ya time really flew with this one with my first it felt like forever. why would you go into labor at 32 weeks? Im having another c section so all I know is first week of may lol
 
Now I get it if happen to go into labor they wont stop thats scary at 32 weeks !!
 
exactly.... I just think because this is my first & I have a family history of early deliveries & the fact that I have been having these stinking BH that are so strong for the last couple of months it has me freaked out a bit. I'm sure everything will be fine & I won't go into labor until he's truly ready, just a bit of a nervous first timer!!!
 
well, ladies, i finally got some nerve, and scheduled an appointment with our HR department at my company to talk about my terrible, evil boss. i feel very empowered! :)
hope it goes well, because i don't know how much more of my terrible boss i can take.

maybesoon, are you going to look at other jobs when your baby is born? i'm going to start looking a few weeks after kidlet is born.

Ah I see ya my first was a week late and they had to go in to get him hence the second c section lol. I apparently have lazy babys haha I hate the braxton hicks I litterally have to drink tons of water or I get them hardcore. Im sure all will be well with babes try not to worry though I know its hard not to .
 
Braxton hicks, even strong ones, don't signify that you'll go into labour early. Hopefully he'll stay inside until at least 37 weeks!
 
Maybesoon hoping you don't go early love but can understand your worry as you have a family history. I did have terribly strong braxtons last time and he was a week late but I'm convinced they made my labour quicker. This time I do wonder a little if gender will make a difference as I was late with both my boys but I made an early entrance into the world myself apparently by five weeks so I guess it's always best to be prepared (says I who has done absolutely nothing yet to get prepared...lol) I can't really do anything until about 36/37 weeks anyway when I have left work and have more time on my hands but I have brought a few little bits.

I fact I was really naughty and brought a cath kidston changing bag of ebay. I just really liked my friends one when I saw it and it ticked all my boxes but I can't tell OH how much it was even though it was a bargain.

Jules have a holiday, i bet you really need it and it's the last chance to do it without a small child in tow. I'm sure if you are healthy and doctor/midwife is happy that everything will be fine but you could just do your research and know what you will do when over there if something does happen. Find out where best English speaking hospital is etc. Take your maternity notes with you and UK contact numbers. I had a 'babymoon' when pregnant with my first and we habe some happy memories from that time. And lots of cute holiday bump photos :) xxx
 
Thanks ladies. I'm sure he will stay put. I guess after all the testing a couple of weeks ago & being lectured about taking it easy (which isn't in my nature) it's got me a little more aware of things.

YOU GO jtink!!!! I can honestly say that if we had an hr department I would have been there already myself! And yes, I plan on looking for other employment while I'm out with the kiddo. I drive an hour 1 direction to work which really wasn't such a big deal when work was pleasant & they were treating me right. But since I got pregnant it's like they are pissed at me for my job not being the center of my universe (which it's not like any of them make it theirs). They seem to be doing crap just to make it harder on me (or maybe that's my hormones seeing it that way). But honestly, between the way they are treating me, the 2 hours spent on the road daily (wasted time I could be spending with Mason), well it's just not worth it to me anymore. If I can find a job close to the same pay as now, then the extra money saved from gas driving back & forth will cover daycare!
 
I got BH way earlier this time than I did with Carter I always say stupid uterus im having a c section knock it off hahahha
 
Jt- I flew last week from Pittsburgh to Dallas (2.5 hours) with no troubles. I just made sure to get the aisle seat so I could drink lots of water and pee every 45 minutes or so and not piss off everyone in my row.
I checked with my doc and the airline and I was really surprised that they both said it was safe until 37 weeks. Seemed really late to me!
Hann- what are you taking in your hospital bag this time?
 
Go you jtink! I hope your meeting goes well,and you get the outcome you want!x
 
Are Braxton hicks those practice contractions? I don't think I've had any,but like a lot of things this pregnancy,I don't know how things feel with it being my first...my belly feels a bit tight and uncomfortable sometimes,but I think that's just me overdoing it with the food!haha!

I got good news this morning from my university...after badgering them this week,they have agreed not to contact student finance until July,so I will get my full loan entitlement 3 weeks before kiddo is due...the relief I feel is immense! I've been very productive though,and my husband is really encouraging me to take my idea of running my own pet sitting/walking business on the side...i figured what have I got to lose? I'll be getting an animal degree,I love animals and I've got nothing better to do right now! It would be great if it worked and I could be my own boss for a while!lol. X
 
Congrats LP, that's great news and must be a relief.

Yes Braxton Hicks are practice contractions and, for me, my whole uterus goes rock hard and tight (plus swells out a bit). It all lasts abotu 30 seconds. I would describe them as "arresting" rather than painful for me. https://www.babycenter.com/0_braxton-hicks-contractions_156.bc x
 
That's great news LP!

Cupcake - not really even thought about the bag but off the top of my head I'll be taking mini shampoo, conditioner, shower gel (mild) and face wash/wipes, brush, foundation and mascara, lip balm, change of clothes - weather dependant, some chewy bars and water, energy drink, baby outfit x2, nappies, wipes, blanket, camera, phone and charger and money, oh and maternity pads!
 
May- i'm willing to bet out of us all your the one who goes overdue!

Hann- how is your little girl today?

LP thats brilliant news and a real relief for you.



i'm celebrating today, we have found a feed my little lady isn't allergic to, which is such an amazing feeling. that and called the new hospital last week and it seems i am on target for the birth i WANT

not trying to scare you but DD was an induction, failed epidural, the contractions weren't painfulas such but my back spasmed non stop which was crippling as everytime i moved they lost DD's heartbeat so even breathing throu contractions warrents the MV telling me off for making them lose the HB. this time i've been told that the new hospital doesn't do continuous monitoring, or inductions, and i'll be left to cope how i wish, which for me is movement and hypnobirthing



any of your ladies doing hypnobirthing, it truely is amazing
 
Holy cow batman calf spasms! Last night was horrid! I was getting spasms that would alternate legs randomly in my sleep. OUCH. Made me jump up quickly almost crying. My calf would go rock hard. :(

Another weird thing... Last night I had what I called witchcraft toes... two of my toes went in the complete opposite directions in a painful spasm.... must have done it at least 10 times... was that ever painful!!!
 
the calf spasms seriously hurt, i read someone last week that calcium and vit d help stop this! hopefully it helps for you?
 
Yeah, they seriously hurt!
I contacted my midwife and she said "Eat sardines, salmon, citrus fruits, almonds and bananas. Take Calcium 1,500 mg per day and Magnesium 750 mg per day." I'm going to head to the store and get a supplement of calcium and magnesium.
 
Congrats LP! I think a Dog walking business sounds great. My friend runs one and really enjoys it.
Sounds terrible ttc. Hope they go away soon.
Afm, had the 3 hour glucose test today. Such a long time to sit and starve. 2 days til the results come in. Oy I hope I don't have gd!
