michieb hope your back feels better hun, that sounds bad!

wtt - glad everything's going well!!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Feeling super grumpy after my appt this morning. Still not at all dilated, 50% effaced, -2 station - all the exact same as last week. I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow, so wasn't really expecting much, but was hoping for at least some progress in one measurement or another since last weeks appt...

And to top it off I gained 4 pounds in a week. How is that even possible!?? I went to the gym four times last week and didn't eat any differently....so thats 40 pounds total and put me up to 200lbs exactly which I've been dreading, so just...grrrrr. Feeling like a whale and unsure how I'll make it 5 more weeks if it turns out that way.

Okay, rant over, sorry guys!

DH had to get a full physical including bloodwork for his new job. So far he has high blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. Time for some diet changes. It's too bad in some ways because I was really enjoying having breakfast tacos when I couldn't figure out anything else.

And no football today. Just bored and avoiding housework.

I'm very sad about how many s we have had that we didn't know about until I started this project.

Aww Robin, sorry you had such a crappy appointment. Don't stress about the weight gain, as they say 9 months on 9 months off and we've already decided we'll be having a November Mums weight loss thread!

 

[WannabemomV]

Holy- I don't check this thread all weekend and I come back on to 8 BABIES BORN! Wow- Congrats.
I am finished work Friday- Can't wait,. This carpal tunnel is Killing me at work these days. And sitting upright in a chair all day hurts. I would like to be home for a week to get everything done around the house- Then the baby can come. I think I will go crazy if I go over my due date. Especially since my uterus is was measuring 39 weeks at 35..

Aww Robin, sorry you had such a crappy appointment. Don't stress about the weight gain, as they say 9 months on 9 months off and we've already decided we'll be having a November Mums weight loss thread!

Thanks Ali! I will soooo be a part of that group, looking forward to losing the weight already!

 

[Nyn]

Aw MrsAJ I know how you feel when I had my cervix checked last week I was SURE she would say I'd progressed after having all those contractions, but just the same as before! frustrating!

sheryl - I agree, I was a little taken aback at how many there were so sad.

wannabemom - hope bubs cooperates and comes when you want! Mine certainly isn't cooperating lol! looks like her birthday will be right next to ds2's grrr! as long as it's not the same day it's ok I guess!

Been having more contractions on and off today... grrr for prodromal labor!

mrs aj i also gained 3 lbs since my appointment last week and feel like ive eaten less this past week than i have previously. i hit 200 lbs and was devastated so im def. looking forward to the weight loss thread!!

i also had a disappointing appointment today. my doctor is out of town all week so i saw one of his associates. she was nice but i didnt really like her too much she checked my cervix but wouldnt tell me anything about being dilated or thinned but said the cervix is very soft. two weeks ago my doctor told me i was a cm dilated and 50% thinned so im kinda bummed i didnt get any numbers this time. then i find out my doctor wont be in the office until next wednesday and wednesdays arent good days for me to go to the doctor due to work and he wont be back in the office until the following monday. so they told me i can either see the lady i seen today next monday or wait two weeks to see him which is after my due date so im slightly annoyed. i made an appointment with his associate for monday but i might change it to wednesday during my lunch break or something because he can at least talk to me about inductions and what not since that will be my due date and she already said i have to wait to talk to him about sweeps or anything!

 

[sherylb]

I'm sure I will be 2 again when I go Wednesday. I about passed out when he told me I was 2 since that was the first time I was checked.

 

[Sun_Flower]

I'm so glad you don't get weighed at appointments in the UK - I've not been weighed since 12 weeks, I think I'd get so depressed if they told me how much I was gaining each week/ each appointment. They just measure my bump and check urine/ blood pressure, and as that's on target they're not worried. I'm just going to weigh myself after I've had the baby and try and lose from there xx

 

[bbygurl719]

Hey all. just back from and emergency doctors appt. i have been having contractions. he checked my cervix im still closed but im softer than 5 days ago. i gained 4 lbs since than and he said i only had on contraction which i kno i had more than that i dont think the stupid nurse had the montior in right spot. still having contractions. doctor told me if they get worse to go to the hospital so Aaryella might b making an apperance here soon!!

 

[sherylb]

Amanda be sure you are drinking lots of water. Dehydration causes contractions. So does cinnamon. An IV stopped my contractions last week.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I'll second what Sheryl said, you really need to drink a ridiculous amount of water to stay hydrated when you're pregnant.

 

[bbygurl719]

im always drink fluids and dont eat cinniomin!

 

[sherylb]

I wish I could have my precious cinnamon. Next week hubby will let me have it again.

 

[DrGomps]

robin, sorry about the frustrating appt...still have time though for things to progress...the weight gain always gets me down!!

TLH..sorry for the disappointing appt. Dr's never want to give us info it seems...

Rachel...its not fair that they don't weigh you over there...

 

[wtt :)]

ooh i love cinnamon!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Cinnamon causes contractions? My nan makes these cakes called rock cakes that have lots of cinnamon in... I've been eating them all the way through my pregnancy... oopS!!
