November 2013 Babies!

Forums New posts
I think the mold thing would be fun... Messy but fun! You should ask the nurses if you can attend a breast feeding class ahead of time. I doubt they would really mind seeing that you are stuck there. Maybe you can have a one on one session with the lactation nurse while you there before the babies come.

I am so exhausted again this week after work, I came home and cried. There aren't many nights when all I've wanted was to sit on the couch with a nice glass of expensive bourbon and chill, but tonight was the night. It frustrating that I have to watch everyone else enjoy my bourbon!
 
We do our class next Sunday, I never really thought of the snack thing but I will pack something for sure. Ours is from 9-5....no idea what will take place...just that we need to bring our book, pillow and husbands :).

Hope to hear from Alchemist soon!
 
I'm surprised all these classes are ALL day! Our two classes are for a couple hours for a few weeks. It makes it more manageable for us. But I can see how getting it over at once would be overall less commitment.

I think I'm doing yard sales and the local hipster flea market today. It's a weekend think my friend and her mIL do and I'm going to join. Don't think I need a thing but might find some good stuff for my parents house for the baby. 29 weeks today!
 
Hi hope u don't mind me joining so late but I'm due my baby girl on 17th November
 
We had the option of taking the prenatal class for two hours once a week for I think 6 weeks but it doesn't work with our schedules so we had to do the condensed one day one.
 
Hi Lorna, welcome. It's never too late for bump buddies. How have you been feeling?
 
Hi Ladies, is it ok to join you? I'm due 16th November with No.1, a little girl!

I'm struggling with making sure i don't eat too much at once as i feel really sick :(
 
Hi Diddums, of course welcome. We tend to be a little quieter on the weekends, but then blow up in responses during the week. Do you have hyperemesis?
 
Hi, thanks for the welcome :)

No, I dont have hypermesis, but since baby has been getting bigger, my stomach has been pushed up, so i can no longer eat a big meal as i feel really sick. Its just taking me some time to realise i need to eat little and often, rather than three main meals as before :)
 
Hi diddums and lorna :)

I've started having the same thing, if I eat or drink too much at a time I feel really full and uncomfortable but my appetite is still huge so having a hard time finding a balance! The worst is when I have eaten too much then have to drive, so uncomfortable :(
 
Glad it's not hyperemesis. Same thing happens to me and it just started this week. The worst thing is he's started kicking, or perhaps headbutting me in the bladder when I'm eating, lol. Super uncomfortable.
 
Hey ladies, sorry If I gave anyone a scare not being here for so long.

Nothing serious thank god, but between moving out of the house we were in and moving the horses and all that stuff I was pretty busy. Not to mention the internet at the old house crapped out on us halfway through August. :growlmad:

But I am back on now and quite happy to be so, sorry I missed so much stuff. And the good news is we are waiting to close on a house, hopefully in the next month, so we can be all moved in by the time Samuel gets here!

All seems to be well with me so far, I have grown a lot so I will have to post a picture soon. And I am tired all the time, but can't actually sleep at night when I try, which sucks. I think its one part insomnia and one part discomfort. And then on Wed. I have my GD test, my Reglan shot and some other shot that I can't remember what its called now, not looking forward to it but it must be done.
 
Are you ladies having the whooping cough vaccine? I need to ask my Dr at my next checkup. Whittmie baby also seems to know when my bladder is full and starts to headbutt my bladder at its most fullest so I cringe all the way to the loo lol.

I'm sleeping ok, I just wake up every 2-3 hours to go to the loo. Not particularly uncomfortable at the moment, and I can get in and out and move around in bed ok. I sometimes struggle to get off our sofas after I've been sat a while. They're pretty deep and I get a little stiff so hubby has to give me a hand x
 
I think I shall be getting the whooping cough vaccine. My nurse told me it is the number one killer of newborns in Southern California. So, myself and any adults that will be near my baby will have the vaccine.I feel it's a simple and easy thing to do to protect the baby a little bit more. I usually don't vaccinate myself, though I will be vaccinating my baby in separated doses vs the multiple vaccines in one. Whooping cough scares me.

I'm sleeping alright too. I toss and turn and wake up when I do, but other than that I'm good, maybe one bathroom break. Though I have woken up with a start the last few mornings because I've just had a dream about peeing myself and the bed. Thank goodness it's only been a dream so far! I told OH that we may need to get the waterproof mattress cover on the bed sooner just in case.

Nariah, I'm glad your back! That was quite a long break! Good luck on the closing of the house. I can't imagine moving so close to the end. But hopefully you get all the things settled before baby gets here. Samuel is the name you guys chose? We are close to a decision on a name. I'm so glad as it's one less thing I can stress about, lol.

Yup we settled on Samuel a while back, once we found out it was a boy, actually I think I was decided on it even before we found out. lol :haha:

I am a bit worried about the move too, since we are moving a good four hours away, plus moving the horses there too, its going to be a lot, but it will be so nice to have our own space and the house is beautiful. I think if anything I am more worried about having to change midwifes and hospitals so close to my due date. I thought about trying to keep my original midwife and such and just making the drive, but I would have to rely on a ferry and I just don't think I can trust that during labor. :cry:
 
Oh I completely understand. I just started with a new doctor and really liked my other one. I actually dislike this one because she just seems not to take time with her patients. I like to know exactly what's going on and have thins explained to me. The nurse takes more time to converse. But there are extenuating circumstances in why I changed doctors and he doesn't have permissions at the nearby hospital anyhow. I'd hate to have to drive the 40 minutes to his hospital during labor if my OH was at work. The new hospital they just opened has state of the art birthing center and nicu. It's also 5 minutes away. I'd do better with that drive if contractions are going.
 
Welcome new ladies!!!! I'm starting to get the full feeling quick but like you Whit, I'm having a hard time regulating myself to not eat too much because my appetite is ravenous!

Nariah: so glad you are back and everything is going well! I could imagine moving right now. You are a trooper! Just don't push yourself too much!

I've been exhausted all weekend and I just want to sit at home and not do a thing. Yesterday we went to a weekend festival thing and it was around 90 degrees outside. I think I got over heated. I got a horrible migraine (1st one in a year). It was awful but I refuse to take any medication... I'm stubborn. It finally went away and DH and I did yard work. I even cleaned the chicken coop out by myself... Once again.. Stubborn. I'm going to my friends baby shower today. She is due two weeks before me. I'm excited to see her and see how her pregnancy is going.

I'll post my Sunday bump day photo later:)
 
Hello ladies! So sorry for going M.I.A. I've just been feeling pretty down lately over two incidents that happened to me, one being my pelvic pain and the other is bad news of a family member. I'm beginning to physically, emotionally, and mentally feel better now. I had became severely depressed over these two issues. Not to worry, though. I'm coping okay now after speaking with a therapist.

I've missed a lot here. Dunno where to start...I guess first and foremost, welcome to the new ladies. Glad we have more mamas.

By bump hasn't changed much in 2 weeks. At least I don't think so. I DO have a few new pink streaks of stretchmarks right above my belly button. So, maybe I did grow. And maybe that's why I was having so much pain, maybe he went through a growth spurt inside. Who knows?

Anyway, I'm back and feeling better (little). Gotta get to feeding dd lunch now. Will be back later.
 
Ohhhh alchemist!!! Welcome back!!!!!

So sorry you've had a bad couple of weeks. It's amazing how something bad can be so much worse to deal with when pregnant. I think it's because your body is working so hard to constantly keep itself regulated that thinking and doing much else (especially stressful or emotional things) is so difficult. We are glad you are back and you and baby are healthy.
 
Welcome back Alchemist and Nariah. And welcome two new mommies. It sounds to me that a lot of you guys are doing way too much. We are in the 3rd trimester now, it's time to relax, let the men do all of the work :)

Alchemist: I know it can be stressful dealing with issues during pregnancy. Two days before I was admitted into the hospital, I was stressed out with my son's father. He is a loser with 8 kids and comes up with every excuse in the book as to why he can't help me with my son. We just asked him for a little school shopping money, but that was too much for him. He told my son "your mom and her husband makes really good money, you guys shouldn't have to ask me for money." I was so upset which could have contributed to me having high blood pressure. This is why I'm telling you because you sure don't want to end up in the hospital like me.

AFM: I'm still hanging in there. I'm really fed up with the food though, so I'm going to talk to the Doctor about having my mom cook me meals. It's to the point where I only eat small bites of the food and I'm done with it. I'm even tired of the hamburgers. I can't even eat the salad cause the dressing is horrible. I've been mainly sticking with oatmeal, cream of wheat and fruit to keep me full. I want some spaghetti, burritos, something. grrrrr
