You're so lucky Jules! I wish I knew when LO was coming!
 
I'm not sure I'll be thinking im so lucky when the c section recovery starts! x
 
Sass - just work on the basis that its going to be 7 days late and hopefully you won't be too disappointed or too wrong ;)

Arrgghh I'm having girl name issues!! Thought we had it sorted but its not looking that way now. So difficult!!
 
My doc said she will induce me if I go 7 days over, so 7 days is my absolute latest date. I guess I can take comfort in that but sheesh! It just seems so much longer. I wish I was 38 weeks right now. I think I've caught DH's cold and it just making me miserable. Plus, I sprained my wrist being a klutz, so I'm just a mess.
What names are you considering Hann?
You might have a really easy recovery Jules! Sucks not to know though...
 
Why won't your doctor let you go over 7 days? I thought standard in the US was 10 days and in UK 12 days?

Names we have are:
Carrie Alyssa
Caitlin Alyssa
Alyssa Rose
Alyssa + another middle name

We are really stuck - need it to go with Annabelle.
 
I like Alyssa rose too but I like the sound of Annabelle and Carrie better than Annabelle and Alyssa. But that's just me!
I think every doctor in the us has their own ideas of what they do. They said if I wanted to wait longer, I could, but I have no desire to do so. I know Dylan is on the bigger side of normal. She has been consistently 3 weeks bigger than edd at every scan and I can even measure her myself across my belly. I can feel her head, butt, feet and hands. I seriously think if she was born today she would be at least 5.5-6 lbs.
 
I was just saying to hubby today in a month were gonna have a new baby so exciting. I see the obstetrician April 16th to nail down my c section date cutting it pretty close since it will be the week of the 5th I'm sure. I'm not looking forward to a second recovery but hopefully it goes pretty smoothly.
 
Thanks for the name help all!

Jules - I love the name rose but not sure a one syllable first name goes with our surname, I like Rosa too, will keep them on the lists!

Sass - I didn't realise inductions weren't standard timescales over there. I was the same as you the first time in thinking that I was going to have a huge baby especially if I went overdue. I remember getting to my due date and saying that I thought the baby was going to be huge as I felt so huge. Obviously she wasn't. I know Dylan has been measuring a bit ahead but they get these things dramatically wrong, it's almost better for them to stop giving estimated weights out as it just gets people worried, most of the time for no reason. I think I've been more chilled about it this time (though I still think about it!) because I've only had two scans and one fundal measurement. Now I just have to accept that it will just be what it will be. Also if its any help most babies don't grow a huge amount after 40 weeks so if you do go overdue then don't think it's going to grow another 0.5 pounds, it might put nothing on at all. Hope that helps a bit :)

Pink - I bet you are looking forward to getting your date - how exciting!
 
I agree Hann. And I don't think babies always grow the same every week either. I'm just a bit more apt to believe my scans because of that drama in December where my docs got booted from the hospital, so every scan I've had has been through a different company. And because of the research study, they've all been on high powered machines. I've had a 12, 16 and 19 on 2d and a 28 on 2d and 3d and each one gave the exact same results. Only my fundals are off as the doc only says, "she's right on target".
I don't think she's going to be massive or anything. I was 6lbs, DH was 8lb 6 oz. I think she's going to be closer to him than me if she stays in all 40 weeks. And it doesn't scare
me. I think she'll deliver easier and sleep better if she's a bit bigger. I also like thinking she's bigger because it makes me think that if she came early, she'd be just fine, ya know?
 
Fair enough sass maybe it is on target for what you think then. Hopefully it won't be more than 7 days late anyway so hopefully you'll avoid being induced :)
 
i've been feeling fat, gross, pimply, itchy and greasy all of 3rd tri. i felt great in 2nd tri. it also doesn't help my self-esteem when people gawk and ask if i'm having twins or if the baby is going to be born tomorrow. i've heard from lots of other women that 3rd tri is just crappy.

has anyone else's belly been itching badly? my belly itches so badly that i only sleep about 2 hours a night, and i'm almost in tears the rest of the night. i've tried cortisone cream, cocoa butter, oatmeal pastes, menthol lotion, calamine lotion. nothing helps me sleep.
 
yes, i've talked to the doctor. it's not pupps - my best friend had that, so i know what to look for. no rashes at all. just on my belly around where i'm starting to get stretch marks :(
doctor just recommended today that i take benadryl at night, and put hydrocortisone cream on it. i will also be using coconut oil on it after showers.

i'm not itchy anywhere else - no hands or feet or arms or anything. just underneath my belly, right where i'm getting some tiny stretch marks.
 
jtink: I use this stuff and it works GREAT for my belly itches!!

I also use this stuff right after a bath and it smells good and works great to keep my belly from itching too:

ah yes thats normal I only got 3 tiny ones so far but they sure do itch when there coming in. I got about 6 with my son but these are the first on my belly super bummed thank goodness they dont stay red.
 
thanks for the suggestions, ladies. i tried the aveeno oil - no good for me.

i took a small benadryl this afternoon and even though it made me a little tired, the itching finally went away! i slept maybe an hour last night because of the itching, so i hope taking 50 mg of benadryl tonight will help me!!
 
glad it worked for ya that must be awful oh the joys of pregnancy
