Mari I'm so sorry to hear about your scan results I really hope it's just that baby is big and they are struggling to get decent pictures but making you wait 9 days for an mri wow that's a little bit unfair and torturous! Xxx hope everything comes back fine for you xx

luv - thank you for the kinds words

hopie - you are so sweet I have calmed down alot since yesterday and trying to think positive now. I really do think its just because 3rd tri ultrasound are just not that reliable. I remember all the worry you had early on. I am so glad everything turned out ok for you and the baby I feel the same will be for me too. I almost wish I didn't have a sizing ultrasound. When I was pregnant was my DD, I only had 2 scans, one at 12 weeks and another at 20 weeks. I liked that better. Since she was almost 10lbs, all my OB's now do later sizing scans on me to check the baby's size. I totally agree that is causes unnecessary worry. I had all the genetic testing come back normal, anatomy scan was great too. My hubby was doing lots of research last night and this type of thing is just so rare. SO i'm keeping myself busyand trying not to think about it.

Lallie - thankyou I am definitely trying to stay busy. Today we are going to a 30th bday party. Tomorrow we are taking the kids to my cousin's house and they live on the lake. We will stay for there for a couple days. Will be fun for the kids and relaxing for us adults. During the week i'm constantly busy with the kids at home. Next weekend is busy too! So I've got lots to distract my mine So hopefully that will make the 9 days pass quickly!

ginge - thankyou so much This baby has been uncooperative in the past with can pics. So now that is he pretty big, I honestly think its because they just can't see clearly. Yes, 9 days does seem long to wait. But here in Canada, its actually super fast. lol My dad need an MRI on his knee before he can have surgery. Because it is not an emergency he has to wait almost 6 months for it. crazy! He has decided to go to the US and just pay for one and can have it done within a week or two.

And thank you to everyone else for all the support and such kinds words It really helps alot. The hospital my OB works out of and I will deliver at is really good. They are strictly a children's hospital and have the top neonatal unit in the country. Very good specialists as well. SO this makes me feel better too no matter what the outcome will be. I'm doing alot better today and looking forward to enjoying the weekend. Hope you all are well

Mari, what a scare. I am keeping you in my prayers and thiNk it's just because　of size that they couldn't see baby's brain part properly. I am glad you have calmed down a bit and that's what is needed for a situation at the moment. It could be nothing. Keep us updated.

 

[Sweety21]

Ladies, I am having lots of pain but, not like bh or contractions. It feels like my tummy is very very sore and baby seems to be in diagonal position which is giving me jard time to move. Also, the movements are very very strong. My whole body is moving as he is moving inside. Should I be worried? I am trying to make him change his position and seeif I get some relief but, shall I go in ER or wait few hours to see if changing position helps?

 

[xanzaba]

Sweety, if you're worried I would say go, or at least call your doctor. At this stage it's hard to tell apart normal pain from bad pain.

 

[MummaMoo]

Sweety, I experience pain a lot when this one moves, and my whole body can move with it. I'm just putting it down to muscle and ligaments being stretched... but yeah, if you're really worried then see what the hospital says.

 

[campn]

Sweety- Maybe baby is just turning into position? If it's very painful I'd say go with your gut and ring your doctor hun!

Thought I'd show you ladies her going home outfit! It's so tiny and precious I can totally picture a little baby in it! Now I'm getting pretty excited

 

[aidensxmomma]

mari - Sorry that you're going through this scare. I'm glad that you've calmed down and have a lot to keep you busy while you wait for the MRI.

Sweety - If you're worried, at the very least you should call your doctor. Sometimes I get really painful movements from LO, too, though. He's breech and laying diagonally, so when he tries to stretch out, it can really hurt. and his movements frequently move my entire stomach. But it's always better to be safe than sorry.

campn - I love her coming home outfit! I have two outfits packed for Everett's coming home outfit - I couldn't pick between the two

AFM - Today was a little bit of a scary day. The last few days I've been feeling really off and I was certain that I had a UTI or possibly a kidney infection. I called my doctor earlier today and he told me to go in to the hospital to get checked out just to be on the safe side. Fortunately, everything seems to check out okay - there are no signs of infection in either my blood or urine. I am running a low-grade fever, though. Plus I've been really nauseous and haven't been able to eat. So in addition to running tests, they gave me a shot of zofran so I could eat something.

The really scary part, though, was that I had to get an IV to get fluids. I have never had an issue with IVs or anything, so I didn't think much of it. However, a minute or so after the nurse got it started, I started sweating and shaking. Then my vision started blacking out and I got really dizzy. It was so horrible and scary. After about 5 minutes, I started feeling better and things were fine after that.

 

[Sweety21]

Thank you all. I called my doc. And they said if pains continues for another hour or two I should go. But, as soon as I called and went to try and get some rest(as suggested) baby changed his position. Pain is almost gone. Thank you all for advice.

Mumma, what a cute outfit. I am sure she will look very cute in it.

aidenxmumma, that is scary. Did doctor tell you why you were shaking and having such reaction? Glad you don't have uti.

 

[xanzaba]

Aiden- I'm sorry you're not well, and I hope you feel better. Could the blacking out may have been low blood pressure which gets worse with dehydration? My blood pressure went really low this pregnancy and I had a couple of times where I started blacking out. It has only happened 2 other times in my life. Now my blood pressure is back to normal and I don't really even feel dizzy anymore.

Well, DH surprised me with a baby shower today! He went and told my mom they had to move it earlier because my sister ruined the surprise. When we got home today, I said "Why are all the neighbors parking in our driveway?", and then realized how silly it sounded. It was wonderful, and now I'm exhausted.

 

[MummaMoo]

Sweety, glad baby has moved and you're no longer getting the pain.

Aidensmomma, sounds awful what you felt when having the iv fluids! Hope you're feeling better.

Xan hope your uti is clearing up! Sweet of OH to rearrange your baby shower after your sister ruined the original surprise.

Campn! Love your Juliette's coming home outfit! Sooooo cute! I guess that's another thing we're missing out on, not knowing what we're having.

Yesterday I woke up to the news of two friends having their little girls overnight, so lots of gorgeous squishy newborn pics all over Facebook at the moment!
This morning I woke up to a picture sent from my friend - of a positive pregnancy test! Her body has messed her about a bit, period no-show, funny symptoms but negative tests - or at least barely there lines, so this good positive is just the best news!

 

[xanzaba]

Mumma- yay for newborns! You're friend that had the HPT- is that the one that had the confusing signs?

 

[Sweety21]

Mumma, that's so great news. I went to my friend's house who has6 months old. The awesome baby smell was still there. Couldn't get enough of squishy squash cuddles.

 

[aidensxmomma]

Sweety - I'm glad LO moved and the pain went away. As for the reaction I had to the IV, the nurse didn't seem to really be sure about why I reacted like I did. Her best theory was that because I had been sick and didn't eat before I went it, my body just reacted badly. I'll be asking my doctor at my next appointment what he thinks, though.

xan - That's so sweet of your OH to talk to your mom about the baby shower and change it around so you could be surprised. I'm glad it turned out wonderful.

My blood pressure was actually a little high when I got to the hospital, so I'm not sure if that was the cause. They weren't monitoring my blood pressure at the time, though, so it's possible that there was a sudden drop after they started the IV. By the time I left, everything was normal, though.

Mumma - I am finally feeling better, thanks.

That's so great for your friends! There's a couple friends on my Facebook who just had babies, too, and it's making me very impatient for my LO to be here. Very happy for your friend who got the as well!

 

[MummaMoo]

Mumma- yay for newborns! You're friend that had the HPT- is that the one that had the confusing signs?

Yeah, that's the one. On Thursday she did a test and the line was a real squinter, as in, you had to hold it right next the window, so she was preparing herself for it to be a very cruel negative. I told her I wasn't counting her out this month, so am SO pleased!

 

[Linzalora]

Aidensxmomma- That happened to me when they were taking 7 vials of blood for screening and then again two days later when I had to do the 3 hour glucose. Not fun at all. Thankfully, the nurses were prepared to deal with it and said it's more common than you would think. We're sometimes more sensitive to things when we're pregnant. My nurses said that I should just let anyone drawing my blood know that I might faint so that they can help me stay comfortable. I hope it doesn't happen again for you or me!

 

[Sweety21]

aidenxmumma, that would be great. As linza, also experienced something similar I really hope it is nothing to worry about. But, just to be sure consulting a doc might be best thing to do. Let us know what he says.

 

[xanzaba]

This morning I noticed 4 little bruises at the bottom of my bump, halfway between my belly button and pubic bone. Anyone had something like this? Not really concerned, but wondering if it's from me bumping into things or from his thunder kicks/punches.

 

[hopie2015]

Sweety - so glad the pain went away.
Aiden- yes, that sounds like the best theory. Will be interesting to see what your dr. says at your next appt, or are you able to call him today to get opinion?

Xan- have no idea about the bruises--sounds like could surely be either the hard kicks since baby is big now or bumping.
Soo sweet of your hubby to plan a surprise shower! So glad you had a wonderful time and I bet you got some nice presents.

Mari- sooo happy to hear you feel a lot more positive now. Nice your hubby researched and yes, would seem to be v. rare. Besides baby's great size, the other great thing is as you said, all your genetic testing came back perfectly fine. They are probably just being extra cautious. Great you are staying busy, as I know the wait time is so hard, but with your 3 kids and everything else you do it won't be hard to stay v. busy and keep your mind off it. I can't wait until your mind is relieved of concern and will keep praying for you and baby.

Campn- your numbers after eating are excellent! I totally agree with you and Xan on nutritionists-- that one sounded like a real moron. My mom had similar issues with the nutritionists after her heart surgery.
And not eating avocados? They are so healthy, the high fat is a good fat.
I would keep on doing the eating plan you're doing, as it's working great.

Thanks for the info on the Moby and Ergo and I read that Chico stroller you got is a great buy. We're thinking we better buy the car seat soon!

Mumma- congrats to your friend!!!

So sick of this nausea. It is mild but still. I feel I will just always have it until baby is here but just have to deal. Hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[Sweety21]

Bruises? no experience with that. May be something related to extra blood flow in that area and tightening　of siin?
