*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Jcliff]

I've lost a bit of my plug. Baby is way head down. Sometimes I can hardly walk! I have constant Braxton hicks and back pain.

 

[La Mere]

Jcliff- hoping your lol stays put a few weeks longer. I feel like this babe will come early for me as well. My son came 8 days early. I haven't lost any of my plug yet, but have been getting BH more often and more intensely and a pretty much constant ache in my lower back, which usually didn't start till around 35 wks with my other two.

 

[Laelani]

I've been noticing some different things lately that I didn't have earlier. LO is sometimes sideways and sometimes very low. There is a lot of pressure down there and sometimes I feel as though my bladder could burst at any time. I have no idea if I have lost any of my plug just yet but I do get BH especially if I have been laying in the same position for a while. I have been getting a bit of lower back pain as well. I am praying and praying that this little guy stays put for a while more, especially since I have to have a C-Section.

Tomorrow we have our specialist appointment who will schedule our C-Section and will check on LO and make sure he is not getting ready to come early on us.

Okay, so DH and I finally decided last night that we can start talking about names together and coming up with a shorter list! Of course, the final decision won't be made until baby is born, not only because we will know the gender but because we will be able to meet baby and see what seems to suit him/her the best. I'm super excited that we've gotten to the point where we are discussing names, not long to go now, just a little over 2 months (9 weeks tomorrow)!

Here is my short list of names lol most of which you will have already seen. Will see what DH cuts from those lists as we go on!

Girls
Paige Mykenzie
Rubie Leigh
Prudence Faith
Charlotte Anne
Lillie Faye
Renae Sofia

Boys
Wyatt James
Jason Woodrow
Noah Gydion
Travis Michael
Aaron Joshua
Cameron Augustus

I agree with you laelani, my bladder feels like it could burst too but it's so weird because when I get that feeling I try to go right away and then it will just trickle out ...I hate that.

Yep I am the same way. Sometimes it almost feels like my water could break but I know it's too early for that I suppose. I know for a fact he's running out of room though since I am so small and he's growing right along.

I halve my 31 week midwife appointment today!

 

[cntrygrl]

Yay!!! We'll be getting a growth scan at 33 weeks. It will be nice to see how much he's grown since our gender scan.

They are currently jack-hammering about four doors down from my office and baby doesn't seem to be liking it. Moving all over the place.

Had our 32 weeks check up today. They offered to schedule us for a growth scan but I declined. Were been scanned so many times it's kind of rediculous he said we can change our minds later if we wanted that they won't deny me one but my weight is good fundal heigh is right on and bp is perfect so he said no reason to have other then piece of mind. So we declined for now. I actually weighed in at 210 this morning vie actually lost 2 lbs in the last month. Only a 4 lbs gain total so far. If I don't gain weight by the next appt in 2 weeks I might just take them up on that growth scan but I know she's growing and getting stronger because my stomach is visually larger and she's really pushing on me now.

I'm so excited to be at this point. Dh and I never expected this. I'm going shopping for a new hospital bag today as a reward. Just because, dh was like uh you have a whole crap load of bags you can use but this is a cause for celebration lol as of fact I need a whole lot of things for inside the bag too. Like a robe...never used a robe before but I don't want my bum hanging out when everyone is visiting. Lol

Jcliff-have our braxton hicks calmed down? Hopefully baby stays put until he's cooked.

CntryGrl-hope the noise has stopped! Sounds like your baby has great hearing

Kiki-how was your midwife appointment?

I'm so achy! My whole pelvis feels like its about to break! Ouch!

My n ext appointment is monday, and I scheduled my birthing unit tour right after! Also got my breast pump ordered! Not sure the exact style, but it's a medela double electric!

 

[La Mere]

Whoo! 31 weeks today and baby is the size of a pineapple! 9 more weeks until we find out if we're having another little girl or another little boy! Did my prenatal check-up today, measuring 31.5 cm for fundal height, baby's HB was up around 163 today. Will have to take a bump pic and a few pics of the boy and girl outfits I have out already preparing for baby!

 

[kel21]

Is it still considered Braxton hicks if it includes a period type pain and tightening? I had a few yesterday evening after standing for awhile. When I sat down and rested it stopped. But today I was sitting and had 3 "contractions", where I had to slow breathe through it, and had 1 more when I laid down, but no more since then 2 hours ago.

 

[Elsa50501]

It might be worthwhile to call your OB's office and talk to the nurse just to ask. I'm not sure what the real difference between Braxton hicks and regular contractions is.

Here is my 31 wk bump pic and the baby girl/baby boy outfits.

Re: Pelvis aches. Omg yes yes yes yes!!!! I feel like every time I stand I might break down there!

I was reading reviews on the freezer storage bags. You may want to go with the Lanisoh (sp) ones they have much better reviews than the medela storage bags surprisingly. The breast pump I'm getting is a medela double electric also.

I liked the Parent's Choice (Walmart) ones the best and definitely the best value for your money. I exclusively pumped in my first pregnancy though so I used a lot of them. Make sure you freeze them flat, it makes it easier to store a bunch of them.

My pouch pack arrived! I love it and it's so comfortable. I want to test it out with one of my toddlers In it but my bump is in the way
