Melsue the bedding is beautiful!

Midterm done!!!!! Next exam in june 25th so I have a bit of time. Although I am starting a distance course tomorrow on top of my others. I don't want to fall behind on anything. Heading out to prenatal apt in a few mins, hoping doc will give the ok for induction date to be aug 8th. We'll see though. Other then that I am just getting big, bending is harder and shifting at night is harder and baby's kicks or rolly movements are stronger. Body in general is achy so what do I say? I say bring on these last two months that are going to be my busiest! Looking forward to sept when I have one less class to take cause I am busting my hump taking it now instead.

hey girls, just popping on to say hi, we've been away for a long weekend and I am shattered!
hope everyone is okay

 

[Kelly9]

3 hour GD test in just under 2 hours, hope I pass this one!

Hi everyone hope you are all well!!! Just wondered if anyone knows when on the labour suite or the ward after if you say you don't want visitors do the midwives and nurses listen to this?? Reason I ask is mil said to my mum today that she will be waiting outside whilst I'm in labour and as soon as I've had him she will be coming in wether I like it or not and she doesn't care if I fall out with her! I want me and dh to have some time with our lil man first and be able to bond with him and enjoy abit of time the 3 of us before all the visitors am I being unreasonable?? Xxx
ps thought about not telling her when I go into labour but needed the fil to look after our dog for us

 

[dmn1156]

wannabe they keep you in the delivery for about an hour or so before they ward you so they wont let anyone in there if you have said no so any visitors you may have waiting will not be allowed to visit till your warded your not being unreasonable you both need time to adjust to being 3

Mrs N hope your well and had a lovely weekend

kelly hope the test goes ok

 

[Kelly9]

Done the test but now feel sickly. Think it was all the sugar.

Wannabe I don't think they'll let anyone in there unless you ask them to be there so I wouldn't worry. My mil will be in the room with us when we give birth at the head of the bed of course but I am thinking about asking her if she would mind stepping out once the baby is born so we can have some us time. My mil thankfully is awesome and i even told her at some point I may ask her to leave if I feel overwhelmed or need some space and she said it was ok with her.

Hey all! How's everyone?
I'm fine, went to the OB today and everythings good. I dropped 3lbs since my last appt 2 weeks ago so I'm only up 7 or 8 lbs for the pregnancy. I'm not surprised tho since I did the same thing with the other 2. I'm measuring 33/34 weeks so docs not concerned. We went ahead and scheduled our c-section for Aug.2nd. Not only is it DF's bday but it also works better with his schedule at the new job. Altho he won't be eligible for any vacation time by then they still said they would give him a couple days off with no penalty.
Kelly - Off to check out ur 31 week pic.
Goodnight girlies!

 

[Kelly9]

Thats great news west! I so want an august baby cause I am one myself although just barely at aug 31! But still, I need the little one to stay put till the 1st at least then he can go anytime after that.

 

[Mrs_N]

wannabe could your dh not have a word with her? I think she's being totally out of order, I'd be fuming! It's totally your decision whether or not you want visitors right away, and she should respect that you want time as a family together. we aren't allowing any visitors for 48 hours, we want to spend those first couple of days as our own little family. I think dh's mum might have kicked up a fuss but luckily she lives in Spain so it's not like she could be there right away anyway. There was some mention at some point of her coming to sytay for a couple of weeks around my due date to which I promptly said no way! My parents understand and I know they'll be at the door as soon as we give the go ahead lol! Anyway, as far as I know all labour/postnatal wards have very strict visiting - ie. all the doors have strong security measures etc, so people can't just get in. I'm sure if you told the receptionist/midwives you want no visitors except for dh they would tell her she can't come in.
Sorry this has turned into a bit of an essay, but it's got me all worked up lol! I think your dh needs to ahve words with her and tell her in no uncertain terms that he'll be stood there barring the door! Can't she just wait in the canteen and your dh can go get her when you are ready?

ooh west, exciting have the date booked!
kelly fingers crossed for your test results

 

[Kelly9]

Still no results must call back tomorrow... ugh.

 

[wannabeamom]

thanks girlies
i dont think dh understands how much it has been worrying me, he just tells me not to worry, have decided to bite the bullet and have a word with her when i next see her and explain my wishes hoping she will take it on board?? either way i will def be telling the staff at hospital not to let anyone in without my sayso in fact i might just let eveyone else i know see him before she does just to prove a point (only joking!)

hows everyone doing? kelly you got the results yet?

had a leaky boob at breakfast this morning so got a bit excited shouting ive got milk ive got milk!! (my boobs havent grown at all during preg so was getting a bit worried they wouldnt work!)

xx

 

[meldmac]

wannabe I hope you can sort things out

Hope everyone else is doing well

I'm just plodding along, not sleeping much so pretty tired but all worth it in the end.

 

[westbrja]

Wannabe - You stand your ground on your MIL. It's your baby and your wishes!
Meld - Glad your doing well
Mrs N - You're moving right along. Time goes so fast when it's someone elses ticker

AFM - I'm feeling pretty crappy today. It started last night when my blood sugar was 53. By that time I was super nauseous, weak, and shaking. I ate a ton to try to bring it up and never really recovered. I'm exhausted today and my blood sugar today was still only 73 even after I ate breakfast. So now I'm stuck at work today and feeling shitty. Oh well we must push on...

 

[meldmac]

West hope you feel better soon hon

 

[Kelly9]

Wannabe great news about the milk.
West you have your sugar measurements different then ours so I am not sure what the conversion is.
So I got my GTT results today at lunch, I do have GD which sucks But it's borderline and just above so will continue to monitor bs levels and watch sugars and carbs till my next apt on the 14th and from there I will be referred to the DIP clinic which is diabetes in pregnancy. I am hoping to get an extra scan out of it hopefully with someone telling me how big this baby already is! I am still small with a weight gain of 18 pounds which is pretty darn good but I do notice my belly sticking out more each day. I am quiet in love with my belly it's so round and fun to watch.

 

[wannabeamom]

aw that sucks kelly, hope you manage to keep it under control with diet!

not much to report from here just plodding along 9 days to go and getting abit impatient wanna meet my lil man now!!!

xxx

 

[Kelly9]

I want to meet mine wannabe! So I can only imagine you and melsue, how is melsue? She hasn't posted in a bit... maybe she is in labour?

 

[westbrja]

I was just wondering about Melsue earlier. I thought the same thing that she may be in labor. Ooooh I hope so.

We've had some wicked storms here tonight so me and the kids hung out in the basement until they passed. I hate tornado warnings, especially when DF is at work. He called and said they were just sitting around at his work until they cleared the warnings.
Hope all is well everyone. I must go to bed now.
