November 2013 Babies!

[whittnie117]

Yea, if you don't like your nurse just ask to have another nurse assigned to you. I had to do that with my grandma when she was in the hospital then got a lovely one for the next three days.

As for the game, we missed it. We were at that class. You would think they'd get better seating for pregnant ladies in those classes. But OH IS in the living room watching the football game.

 

[mama.luv]

I'm too nice to complain about the nurse. I don't want to be looked at as the patient from hell Whit, how did the class go? Was that the labor and delivery one?

Welcome, its always great to have new opinions! What kind of problems have you had with your pregnancy? Hope everything turns around

Hi ladies I'm due the 11th November with my third baby it's our second little princess November will bring me 3 under 3 crazy times ahead I can see hope everyone is have a happy and healthy pregnancy xxx

Welcome! 3 under 3....that is craziness. Good luck to you. Im terrified I cant handle just one

Hey guys, I'm okay. I received somewhat bad news from the Doc. I had my ultrasound on Wed, Baby B (girl) only gained 4oz in 3wks, so she is still small weighing 1.8lbs. My Doc came to me on Thurs and said they found 2 cysts on her brain, fluid around her heart, and it's a possiblility that she could have trisomy 13. Doc is referring me to a pediatric cardiologist at another hosp to repeat the ultrasound and focus more on the heart. I'm just waiting on that appt now. After hearing all of this, I was depressed and cried for hours. I'm feeling better today, just anxious to get this ultrasound done. Other than that, I'm still on hosp bed rest, it's been almost a month now. I hope everybody is doing great. And welcome new mommies!!

Oh Mama. Im so sorry for your news. Hopefully they get everything figured out and get you some more information. Im thinking about you and hoping for the best. Want is right, youre a very strong woman

Whitt- was it you that had your L&D class this weekend? How was it?

AFM- boring weekend for the most part. We did get a phone call from OHs mom that was unexpected. She told us she did not want to watch the baby when I go back to work... I wasnt too keen on her watching him anyway, but it was only going to be for a few weeks and now we dont even have that. I dont know what we'll do. Im trying to be positive and find solutions, but...its not looking good. Its hard being stuck where we cant afford day care but dont qualify for help Other than that, still exhausted. I go to the doctor tomorrow, but should just be an in and out apppointment. Hope everyones doing well

Morning from SoCal, ladies! Dd decided to wake up a little earlier this morning. I sometimes wish time goes forward to the days I get to sleep in but don't think will ever happen lol.

I hope all of you are doing okay. Yesterday was my 30 week mark - 10 more to go give or take. Some of you have less to go. Aa of now, I am done being and feeling pregnant! Gah!

Here's my Sunday bump day. Dunno if anything has changed though.

 

[whittnie117]

Yes, it was the l&d class. It was long and I am hurting today for sitting so long over the weekend. However, the teacher was really nice and knowledgeable. I got a lot of really good information. The hospital I'll be having him at is alright. I get a private room to labor in, but may have to share a room post partum. Yuck. But I learned a lot and got a ton of good websites for different things. I also learned OH doesn't think I will be able to handle any pain whatsoever. That is just going to make me determined to prove him wrong.

Alchemist, you look great. I just hit 30 weeks today. I feel like I hit a milestone. We don't have too far to go now. I'll post the pic I took later today. It's on OH's phone and he's at work.

 

[wantb502]

Whit: you have to share a room post partum?!? That sucks. Do they encourage babies stay with moms? If so... I don't see how anyone would get sleep! I would get out of there as quick as possible. Oh! I have an idea... Tell them you have MRSA. I think they have to give you a private room

 

[whittnie117]

Lol want...I don't think I could do anything like that. Haha. Yes, the promote rooming babies right away. I'm not sure how well I'll do with having my baby, my OH, another lady, her partner, and their baby plus any visitors in one room. I guess one good thing is that the hospital will let you wear what you want for the birth and labor and will give you an epidural up to 9 centimeters. Since I'm going to try to go as natural as possible for as long as possible, that was good to know.

Mama - Keeping you in my prayers!!!

Whitt - I am angry that they are going to put 3 of us in a room to check to see if we are ready to admit. But after I am admitted I get my own room. I can't imagine having to SHARE. With as many people who want to come and just see me at the hospital ... Jeeze what a PITA.

I am so glad that our DD isn't due right now. I am not even sure at this point I could make it to our designated hospital. Our house/family/area is fine but all around us there is just devastation with the flooding.

Told OH on Friday that I think I am just keeping our daughter in my belly. She hasn't been that bad of a baby and with just 8 weeks left I am not feeling really poor. I have been watching my L&D class on the net and I am just not that excited for that part.

I feel terrible for all of you who have just really been struggling with everything! Plans for this weekend were obviously canceled due to the floods but still setting up for a party next weekend!

I knew I forgot something!! I was thinking about you this weekend and hoping you were ok. Glad to hear everythings going relatively well. Thats great that you dont feel poorly. Im miserable lol. Keep us posted on the floods and stay safe!!


Some of you guys are talking about hospital rooms...I must be lucky. Ill get my own birthing room and them my own recovery room where baby will be in room until we go home (barring any complications of course, then he'd be in the nursery) I dont know how anyone would sleep with another family in the room with them. That stinks

 

[luna_19]

Yeah that's crazy having to share a room! Here once you are assessed and admitted you get your own private room that you stay in for the entire time

 

[cat123456]

[wantb502]

here's my Sunday Bump day (posted Monday and taken Saturday!)
30 weeks

 

[wantb502]

Oh and I forgot to tell you guys about my most recent rude comments that were told to me. I have been getting them since I told people I was pregnant..

First it was the "you don't look pregnant, you just look fat and out of shape"
-thanks a lot asshole, nothing like telling someone that is a serious exerciser that they look fat and out of shape.

Then around 16 weeks "you are really carrying in your backside"
-thanks asshole, I am really happy you've been critiquing my backside.

Last week "you hips have really spread, have you considered continuing to exercise during pregnancy?"
`Really? Asshole, I walk 3-5 days a week and I'm almost 8 months pregnant, whats your excuse??

Today "You face has really filled out.. I thought you were pregnant, but I didn't want to say anything at first"
- Thanks asshole, you really know how to lift a pregnant woman's spirits.

Thanks.. I needed to vent. People suck and all of these comments are from WOMEN! Men are usually smart enough to keep their traps closed. Anyone else get some really good comments that make you feel like a thousand bucks (sarcasm)?

 

[whittnie117]

Oh want...People can be cruel.

Most of the comments I get are in response to me answering their question of how far along I am. I usually get, 'Wow you must be having a big baby then, are you sure you're not having twins?" Or, "you already look full term, like you're due today" Those are the ones that stuck with me.

 

[The Alchemist]

Want - you look cute and I love your dress. All of my pics are just in casual clothes as I'm always home these days lol. I don't go anywhere special. Just to the grocery store and even then, I wear comfy/yoga clothes.

Cat - I don't remember you mentioning that you've been in the hospital. 2 mamas in here in the hospital. Why do you have to be hospitalized and until 37 weeks. Wow, I'd go nuts. The 3 days I had stayed hospitalized after I delivered dd, I was going nuts counting the hours which turned to counting the minutes by the 3rd day. I could've left and signed AMA but for some reason I didn't think of that back then. I hope things are okay for you and will be okay.

Asf - about hospital rooms, I had my own small room during labor but the restroom was connected to another labor room. Thank goodness nobody occupied the other room. I didn't like staying in labor room. There would be women coming in moaning and groaning waiting to be assessed or to get pain meds. At that time, there was just too much commotion and misery, it was making me depressed. So, I just don't like labor ward.

However, I had my own delivery room, nice and large. As for post partum, I was lucky. I got a room made for 2 women. Since at that time, I delivered late almost midnight (I had gotten there in the morning around10 AM), it was just me, dd, and OH..at my hospital, the baby stays with mom. The only time, I think, they took her from me was to do the hearing test. They didn't take baby from me to screen for pku as they just pricked under the feet and my dd didn't even flinch from her sleep. Anyway, I was lucky to not have to share. But sitting here typing it out and thinking back, I think I might like another mom in there with me just because I didn't have visitors (apart from mil+fil+OH). OH couldn't spend all 3 days with me because he had to work. It would have been nice to have someone to chat with.

 

[wantb502]

Whit: I hear the twins comment is so common. Really, people suck.

Hospitals in my city are all private rooms. For the most part, almost all hospital rooms no matter which ward are private. It's nice to not have to deal with the clatter of other people.

 

[mama.luv]

Want: You have me cracking up, thanks for the laugh. I just get the "you don't look big enough to be carrying twins" comments. But when I was at work, this guy told me that my legs were swollen and to watch out for toxemia. Like a week later, I was hospitalized for preeclampsia/toxemia. That dang jerk jinxed me...grrrr

Rockin: I can't believe your MIL wont watch the LO, I would be pissed. Unfortunately I don't have a MIL because she passed away when my hubby was like 12yrs old, so I'm stuck with just asking my mom to watch the babies. But my mom works and is saying she is not retiring for another 5yrs. Dang her

Now for the hospital rooms, I have my own room here and it's a nice size, sort of like a small hotel room. This nurse told me that I could have gotten a bigger room after the mommy that had the quads left. Supposedly that room is two times bigger than this one. But nobody told me about it until now, so now I have to wait til it's vacant again. I don't know how my labor and delivery room will be but after I recover, I will be placed back in this room. More than likely, my babies will be in NICU unless I have them around 38wks when they are like 6lbs or more. The majority of the mommies have their babies in the room with them, I hear the babies crying all throughout the night.

Want and Alchemist: Nice bumps. Both of your bumps remind me of when I was carrying my son. I was small too but hey that's a good thing because you lose the belly faster

 

[luna_19]

Wow I can't believe the rude comments! No one has said anything like that to be but I'm pretty sire I give off a vibe like I don't want to talk to strangers about it, hardly anyone even asks when I'm due!

 

[mama.luv]

Cat: Why are you on hospital bed rest? I've been on hosp bed rest for a month now for preeclampsia and pre term labor. And you have to share a room? I need my rest, I sure couldn't share a room.
