September Snugglers 2016

[campn]

Mumma- Oh no we'd have missed you! I'm glad it's all sorted! I always forget my password too! I've changed it only God knows how many times.

I've also noticed less movement lately but I think it's just due to them running out of space?

Took a 34 week bump pic, she's definitely running out of room, I've no idea how much bigger my belly could get!

 

[Sweety21]

Nice bump campn.

Ciz, it could be start. As long as no regular contractions you should be fine but, I think it's better to mention it to doc.

Hi ladies glad everyone is well!!

Welcome home Lottie!! What a strong little girl

Booked in for inuction today on Tuesday 23rd of August at 7:30PM so we should have our little (not so little) man by the evening of the 24th!! That's only a week and a half away... I am so excited to have a date to look forward to!!

That is if he doesn't decide to come a bit earlier than that. I went to the lake to swim today and as i was about to get into the water i felt a small gush (definitely not enough to be waters) and ran to have hubby check what it was cuz there was no restroom around. He said it was snotty looking and yellowish. So im thinking it was some of my plug.

I never lost any plug that i could notice with my DS so this a new thing for me, but baby has been feeling really low for the last couple of days and i have been spending a lot of time on my birth ball to help keep him there.

Anyway, i would appreciate fingers crossed for a speedy and not complicated birh on the 23rd!! to all of you lovelies!!

Alea - So happy that your strong little girl is home with you now!

And thank you all for the kind things you've said regarding losing my daughter.

Just wanted to update about my appointment today. I had another ultrasound today because my ultrasound at 32 weeks showed that Everett was measuring fairly small - I believe he was right around the 25th percentile. He was also breech during that ultrasound. So I've had the worry about his size on the back of my mind for a month. Fortunately, it's been good news today. Everett must have had at least a little growth spurt since he's now measuring at the 31st percentile. They're guessing his weight is around 6lbs, 1oz right now which is really reassuring. They also were able to see him do a little practice breathing. So everything is great with him He also has turned head down, so at the moment I've got the green light for a vaginal delivery. My doctor also checked and said I'm starting to dilate already, which is pretty exciting. He told my OH not to get his hopes up about having another 3 weeks before getting thrown into parenthood Otherwise the plan is that I'll be induced at 39 weeks - no set date yet, but the most likely days are either August 28 or August 29

They did notice that my fluid levels were slightly high and that the placenta was showing some signs of getting to be over-mature. However, my doctor is confident that 39 weeks is the earliest I'll have to deliver. He was going to discuss the ultrasound results with one of the other doctors in the practice to determine whether or not I'd need another ultrasound, but he's not worried about it if one isn't done.

Overall, I am feeling so much better about everything and I'm starting to get very impatient to have little man here with us.

I will definitely try to get caught up with everyone tomorrow

Mumma- Oh no we'd have missed you! I'm glad it's all sorted! I always forget my password too! I've changed it only God knows how many times.

I've also noticed less movement lately but I think it's just due to them running out of space?

He he! I'm getting sick of trying to think up new and memorable passwords, and clearly, it doesn't work! How hell do they expect pregnant ladies to remember passwords!? Ridiculous!

I know it totally makes sense about them running out of space to move, but I read conflicting information that it shouldn't mean that they should move less, it should just be different movement to before. But it's hard to get used to a quieter baby when you're so used to it throwing crazy shapes! And then I read about suddenlyhaving an OVERactive baby not always being a good sign! WTH are they trying to do to us!?

 

[MummaMoo]

So there are already ladies on here set to meet babies before me! Bet I'll be super late (again) and I'll end up being the last, despite my due date actually being the first!
But all good as long as we're all safe and ok!

What's going to happen once we've had our babies? Are we staying on here? Will the Snugglers live on?

Love bump Campn - I should update with mine, is a queer shape though! Shall see if i can get around to it later.

Pleased to hear Everett has had a little growth spurt aidensmomma

 

[xanzaba]

Just1 and Aiden- congrats on having dates. It's crazy that it's so soon all of a sudden, huh?

Love the bump pics! I keep having people walk up to me and ask me if I'm having a boy. I guess the way I'm carrying my bump is typical of having a boy.

As for Snugglers living on, I hope so! When we're clueless with our LOs, trying to get back in shape, or just want to share. Will they let us, do you think?

 

[hopie2015]

Alea- congratulations on your Lottie being home with you. She is such a fighter and so happy she is doing so very well and home with you guys now. Enjoy!

Aiden- that is wonderful news! Baby sure has grown and good to know you will most likely go a few more weeks and they have a plan in place.

Just1- exciting news! Wishing you all the best on your induction date.
So many now are getting induction dates it seems. I can't believe we are all so close.
Seeing the April 2017 board now on here.. I was like whoa-- we are next!

Campn/Mum- I read wrong info in a book no less. It said less movement will be felt in the last weeks since they have less room to move around. A very wise lady quickly corrected me on that and knows too well from her own experience. What mum said is more correct- there shouldn't be less movement, just the movements should feel different later on. My dr. also said this and if baby is quiet, to drink something cold, eat ice cream or something and lie on my side. 10 movements an hour is good.
Of course when you're busy with your little ones, errands, etc. it is easy to miss small movements, so the more we can take our rests and pay attention to it, the better I think.
And if baby is super quiet, good to call doctor.

Holy freaking heat wave. 110 heat index for days!! Leaving the city. Just too unbearable. And my feet have finally swelled. Stay cool, everyone!

If an admin is contacted they often move threads to other places so we might just get moved from pregnancy groups!

Afm I've just set fire to the oven, good job I'm not a panicker, that could have gotten a whole lot worse very quickly! Disaster averted though only casualty is my oven door seal and potentially a Pyrex glass bowl!

 

[amantila]

Alea...yay! Thanks for the update with great news! Welcome home, Lottie! :]

Great bump pics, hope and campn! I should take one today for my 36 weeks photo...I'll post if I remember!

aidensxmomma...glad you got good news at the scan and that Everett had a little growth spurt! :]

Just1...23rd is right around the corner! So exciting!

ginge...oooh scary! I'm always terrified I'll end up catching the oven on fire...I don't know how I'd react. I was scared enough yesterday with a big skillet full of hot oil...hubby really wanted chicken and waffles but I hate making fried chicken because I'm scared of the oil! Haha. Glad you kept your cool and were able to handle the situation safely!

I feel like I'll be the last one on here haha with everyone getting scheduled inductions and whatnot. Ugh. Baby will come when he's good and ready to, I suppose! Hubby is driving me insane recently. Keeps making plans without consulting me. Yesterday he says, "Oh hey, we have an engagement party to go to on the 27th for my employee." I respond, "Ok...they know I'll be like 38 weeks pregnant then and we may or may not be able to go, right?" Him, "What? No...you'll be fine!" Ugh. And he keeps asking when my due date is (he knows...he's just being nervous in his own way I think). I've started just saying "Soon" because I don't think he realizes how quickly September 9th is going to be here!

I have to go get ready for that interview today...really hoping it works out and that she will be a good fit to cover my position! I'll update later. 36 week doctor's appointment right afterwards, too. At last appointment they said they may start doing the cervical exams at this appointment to see where I'm at and I'm a bit anxious about that. I've heard they can hurt :[ Any wisdom about that, ladies?

And then when I come home I've got to do some cleaning...ugh. My in-laws are visiting tomorrow so I need to make sure things are clean! Haha. Luckily I like my in-laws :]

 

[MummaMoo]

Amantilia - re cervical exams: just breeaathe..... as I've mentioned before, when was having them during my induction I was incredibly tense, which obviously is natural, but just close your eyes, and breathe your way through it.

 

[xanzaba]

Aman- the pelvic exam only lasts for a few seconds and was about the same as a pap-smear.

 

[mari35racz36]

Aman - I still don't have any induction or section booked yet. I'm not even sure Ill pick the section, but i have 7 more days to decide. As for the cervical exams, they are very fast but just remember to take deep breathes. I will be getting my first exam next week. Good luck with the interview today. Really hoping this one works our for you

ginge - What a scare! Glad you are ok


campn - I cant believe someone at your hubby's work asked if your getting your tubes tied! And yes, 28 is way too young to start think about that. I am 35 and hubby is 37 and its just this year we decided. I was 31 when i had baby #3 and no way would have i considered hubby getting the snip yet. I just felt like we were still too young.

AFM, I have my 36 weeks checkup yesterday and all is good. They talked more about my csections option. I wanted to know all the risks involved. Still have lots of thinking to do. I have a growth scan and another OB appt in 1 week.

 

[ajarvis]

Mumma I've read about too active babies too, but I refuse to google that one since she's so much more active than her brothers were. But I'm sure all is fine lol!

Campn Seems as soon as you're pregnant people are allowed to talk about your personal family plans, fertility etc. so weird. I agree too early to tie tubes. I was DONE for years after having my youngest. Then all of a sudden two years ago SO decided he wanted one. And here we are lol

 

[campn]

I can't believe so many of you are having August babies! I'm definitely going to be all alone twiddling my fingers! And yes please let the thread live on! I still see all the old threads of months ago alive, if not we can create one in the baby club area or something.

Yesterday we had the voluntary prek orientation for DS (it's a free Florida school program for 4 year olds) and people were asking me when are you due and usually I say how many weeks are left, but I thought "next month" and wow that scared me once I heard it myself!

So now I'm drinking red raspberry leaf tea and just started inserting evening primrose oil capsules, definitely put a liner if you'll use one, it smells bad though ugh... Just glad we don't have to use fish oil

 

[xanzaba]

Summoned the courage to take a 37 week bikini bump shot. You ladies, DH and the dog are the only ones to see this!

As for over or under active babies, I'm trying to just keep things in perspective. Liam has shown me that I can't expect anything, except maybe less movement in the morning, more in the afternoon. But even that's up for negotiation. I definitely don't feel him when I'm busy at work.

Yesterday was my last full day at work. Now I'm mainly working from home, though I have a big meeting on Tuesday (3 hrs!) but this way I only need 1 professional looking outfit for the next 13 days.

 

[ciz]

Thanks ladies for advice. Nothing more prevailed of that pink stain. Still having bh every now and again especially when it's bedtime ( not that I'm getting much sleep) I won't be suprised I lose my plug soon though. Feel like it's going to go same away as it did with dd

 

[MummaMoo]

Lovely bump pic as ever Xan

Ciz glad you've had no more of the pinky-ness!
I'm getting too the point where i expect to see something when I visit the bathroom - wishful thinking though, probably!

Pretty rotten backache and crampy today, again, hoping it's something, but probably nothing. Mum thinks I'm going to go early, hope she's right, but trying not to think of it too much otherwise I'll have 16days of disappointment.

I'm thinking, if anyone would like to find me on Facebook, I shall put my details up. That way if I have the problem logging on again, I can have contact with you still, if you want to?

 

[campn]

Mumma- Sure that's a good idea! It has occurred to me before!
