November 2013 Babies!

Happy 3rd trimester ladies!!!

Do any of you guys play music by your belly for the baby? I tried it this morning on my way to work. I put on Pandora and set the station to the Rockabye Baby station, and I swear that station was going to put me to sleep. But the songs were cute because they basically made 80's songs into lullabies..lol. I'm going to try it tonight because these babies are active at night, so I want to get them tired :)
 
I havent done that yet but now Im going too!

One cool thing I have been doing....turning the lights off at night...laying on my back...shine a light on my belly and he moves every time!
 
Oh I forgot about playing music for lo inside! I did it with my dd. I played relaxation music for her. I think for this boy, I'm going for classical.
 
Alchemist: Try the Rockabye Baby Station on Pandora, they were playing some classical music too. I will try out the relaxation station too, I can have both stations shuffle tonight.

MissJenn: I would try using the light but my little ones are already active, well at least the boy, so I want them to rest at night :)
 
What do BH feel like? I don't think I've had any yet... That I know of at least. I get cramping but I'm pretty sure it's RLP because its only when I'm on the move.
 
Oh, I forgot to mention...we had our annual family reunion this weekend and all of the ladies on my fathers side of the family through me a surprise baby shower! It was so awesome!!!!!!!!!

I meant to ask you....the inside of my belly feels so crammed in right now....what does it feel like carrying two?
 
MissJenn: It doesn't really feel crammed yet because I'm 24wks. My boy is on my right side and I feel him all of the time. My girl is blocked by an anterior placenta, so I don't really feel her. I can't even imagine how my belly is going to feel at 28wks. Are you feeling a lot of kicks?

I still don't know if I get them or not. They say it feels like the baby is balling up. I get that feeling like 5 times a day, so I don't know. Since I don't know if they are BH or not, I just make sure I don't feel it no more than 6 times an hour.
 
I didn't have any braxton hicks with my DD, but I have had them this time. My stomach goes rock hard. Only lasts for a minute or so. I've heard they get stronger with each pregnancy.

Miss jenn - you always look adorable in your pictures!!! Your bump is fab!!

Alchemist - I'm the same, no sex drive. And whilst sex didn't hurt after DD I was just too exhausted! Lol!

I had my 27 week midwife appointment today. All went well which is good. They took some blood and totally messed up both of my arms as I have teeny veins. So that was a bummer as I now have huge bruises. I won't see the midwife again until 34 weeks which seems ages away. Only 3 more check-ups with her until my due date! Eek!
 
Ugh I'm so irritated today at work. There's so many people sick and I feel like I'm going to get sick from them. This morning, this woman had the worst diarrhea ever to the point where it stunk up the whole hallway. Then when she walked around, the smell just followed her like she pooped in her pants. Luckily she went home sick cause obviously she had some type of stomach virus. Then another woman comes into work late telling everybody that she is sick with bronchitis. She has been coughing up a storm, then she had the nerve to come to me and say "I know I'm coughing a lot, but I have bronchitis and it's not contagious" :saywhat: I think I'm going to tell my Doctor to take me off of work when I see her next week cause this is ridiculous. I'm always tired and sore, and I have to deal with all of these people and their germs. And that's just co-workers, I haven't even included the clients I have to see on a daily basis. Sorry for the rant, I had to vent.

LO balls up a about once or twice a day but it really is him balling up because I can see him and my uterus lumped to one side. It will be soft of te other side at the same time. I guess it's BH if the whole uterus feels balled up?!? Does it hurt?
 
My discharge has ramped up again! I was able to get away with not wearing liners for a couple of weeks, but the last two days is like a faucet! Yuck i hate it.

Mama: sorry about the sickies at work. Sometime people at work gross me out more than my sick patients!
 
My LO is always balled up on one side in the mornings. I can grab husbands hand and point out where she is.

I have tightness and pain in the top of my belly. I rub and hold that and people tend to grab there thinking they are going to feel my daughter! She is always hanging out low.
 
Want: It doesn't hurt me when I feel the balling up. And I feel the same as you, the ball is just on one side at a time. I do feel a little pressure when it happens though.
 
My Lil man has been balling up. And lately, I've been having lots of bh and it's annoying sometimes. I have just started drinking the red raspberry leaf tea also. Having bh + full bladder is not very comfortable.

Aa for discharge, I seem to get a lot in certain times of the day, mostly in the morning and then lots at night while I sleep. It's so yucky of a feeling. Hate feeling wet and moisty down there, especially when I'm out doing something. If I'm out too long and can't change or wash myself, then I get all itchy. Ugh...so gross...

So I got crazy in the kitchen again. I got possessed or something beside I made a batch of chocolate chips cookie dough from scratch. Baked 6 for today for myself and OH and dd. I made little balls from the remaining dough and froze it for baking other times. Sigh....sweetness.
 
Alchemist: Now what exactly does a BH contraction feel like? I'm trying to figure out if I'm having them or not. Chocolate chip cookies sound soooo good right about now.
 
Mama - it feels like what the description says, tightening of the uterus. All of it. It gets hard and then subsides. Okay, tmi test, but if you wanna feel how it is, play with itself until you orgasm and that will bring the bh. Sorry, that's the only method I can think of if anyone wanna know lol. You will for sure experience bh by masturbating. Actually, you don't even have to orgasm. Sexual excitement will bring it on.
 
And my cookies were a winner! OH and friends (came over a minute ago) loved it. :D proud momma! Anybody wants the recipe, I'll give.
