Awww, so sweet. Glad to hear you are doing better today and she is moving around for you. That always helps ease the mind.

Congrats on paying off your car! That's so awesome. My student loans are starting up in November/December and it's frightening. I wish I could pay off my car and not have that bill anymore!

I've got all these thoughts about the birth, but don't know how to write them down!

Yeah it's so nice to cut out one bill, especially if it's one of your higher bills you have during the month. Don't get me started on the student loans....I still have a lot to pay off there.

As for your birth plan, just research it online. I know there are a few sites that may have a generic one (so you can get an idea), or ones that may have every little detail and you just check mark what you want.



Pickle was so active last night, from about 10pm up to about 2am when me and OH finally went to bed. We were laying in bed around 1:30 or so, and Pickle must be feet down at the moment, because one second I'd feel something towards the top of my bump and a second later something at the bottom. Then shortly there after I felt two kicks within nanoseconds right next to each other at the bottom of my bump. He must have been having a party in there last night lol.

Also swelling was pretty bad yesterday, shorter work day though. I came home and after eating and taking my shower, I took over the bed and had my legs propped up on the wall. I def noticed after about 30 minutes my ankles looked so much better. So yeah I'll be doing that every night that I can (nights my OH works early next morning, I can't do it so easily as I get home shortly before he is going to bed). Going to buy new shoes today though because yeah I know mine are shot, lol.

I have not had an issue with swelling at this point, but when I am on my feet too much, it feels like my baby settles down in my pelvis and presses on my bladder. Makes me feel like I have to pee, but I really don't. Laying on my back for about 15 minutes seems to get things back where they belong, but inconvenient when there is no place to lay down.

Paid off my car a couple months ago so I'll have a few months to save that money before it starts going toward daycare.

About the birth plan. I researched the kind of things that might be on there but then just typed up my own, just a simple list of things that were most important to us.

Hb kicked in after breakfast today rather than waiting till after lunch

Xxx

Glad everything is ok Salu, take it easy lady.

So had another appt with specialist Friday and Macie is doing Awesome, all organs looking good, heart looking good, 10 fingers and toes, very active, she weighed 1 pound 4 ounces with a heartrate at 127 bpm which Doc said it perfect, Did you know heartrate is slow at first, then gets faster (145 bpm at 20 weeks) then slows back down as you approach term, which heartrate should be at about 130bpm then So, 23 weeks 2 days yesterday.

(I will make a pregnancy journal for her toward the end of the pregnancy and will use this thread as a reference, as notes and things.)

It is Hot, about 105 outside it feels like, because it is 77 degrees inside right now. Inside usually will be 20 degrees less than it is outside. I'm sitting in my skivies under a couple fans, lol. I ate a pint of icecream last night(OMG!!!!!!!) and was sick to my tummy all night. That is what I get for getting a pint of coffee toffee icecream. Here is a pic I found of 23weeks3days I found online.

 

[salu_34]

I found a form on pinterest about birthing plans that I just downloaded and saved to my computer. Will look at it later on. I'm sure once I have my appointment with my OB he'll ask me all that stuff, and I'll just sit there like a deer in headlights haha.

 

[eyemom]

Salu I've had something similar this pregnancy and it was just a small cervical ectroprion. It's nothing bad, but scary to see blood when you don't know where it's coming from. If that's what it is, you might see it again. I still see scant amounts every few days.

 

[Jalanis22]

Im ringing the dr tomorrow these past nights ive been having light headaches including with vomit and a stomache..my morning sickness had stopped at around 11 weeks so not sure why im feeling like this.

 

[Pussy Galore]

Hope the ultrasound goes ok today Salu

Jalanais - I have had lots of headaches with the pregnancy although not with sickness too. Hope the Dr is helpful

Just passed V day and it seems to make all the difference at my local hospital. I had a small bleed about 4 weeks ago but because I was less than 24 weeks they wouldn't investigate. Fortuantely it was nothing serious and the bleeding stopped within hours but it was frustrating.

 

[GeralynB]

It's my bday and I turn 35 today. What?!? How did that happen??? I still feel 22.

 

[Twinklie12]

Hope you feel better Jalanis! Good luck with the scan Salu!

Happy birthday Geralyn!

My BH contractions have ramped up a ton. I had them all evening, and woke up a few times to them last night. I tried chugging some water (because I knew I'd been bad about it most of the day), but it didn't work. The contractions have been strong and super uncomfortable.

Been awake for about 2 hours and I've had 3 big ones so far. Ugh. And today is a travel day (flying to Chicago this afternoon for an all-day meeting tomorrow, then back home in the evening), which always lends itself to dehydration. Really not enjoying these contractions right now

 

[Twinklie12]

Happy birthday Geralyn!

Hope you feel better marieMo! Traveling while not feeling well is awful.

I am starting to be a little more uncomfortable in general. It's harder to get up off the couch and into bed, and I am always starving all day, but by the end of the day I just feel full and BLAH. Still at 9 pounds gained, and I am back at work after a week on vacation. Hoping since I will be back to healthier eating I will stay on track.

We have the crib and dressers now, and we registered yesterday, so I am feeling more prepared.

 

[Jalanis22]

Just spoke to my nurse and she said it may be th sugar levels fluctuating that i need to be snacking every 2 hours! I do snack just not every 2 hours..im kinda scared since ive never had this with my LO hopefully my sugars are good.

 

[cncem]

Happy Birthday Geralyn!! I'll be turning 35 years young in Oct.

PG, whew glad everything is ok. Happy V day! Mine is Wednesday and I have been having worries about prom, well not anymore though doc said amniotic fluid is fine, not too much not too little. I guess pregnant women just have watery discharge (sorry tmi) and it is normal. Ok, this months freak out is out of the way, lol. And salu too. So it's not just me that worries about everything.

I'm sorry about those contractions Mariemo, I have them but they're not so bad. Ugh, I'd hate to fly this time of pregnancy, sitting in those tiny seats for even a short time is so uncomfortable. I hope things get better for you.
