Hey ladies hope everyone is doing okay...

Shawnie rest up my dear, glad you got the wireless laptop allset..

Well I havent been on in a while because I ended up in the hospital Thursday morning until Saturday... Wednesday I was getting pains on my lower left side on the inside of my hip I thought it was just the ligiment pains, they were so bad throughout the day that I called the nurse and she said sounds like ligiment, so i said okay.. So that night I visited a friend and I was getting pains across my abdomen and they just kept coming,, i just thought I over did it. went to bed woke up at 2am by the pains.. called the dr on call and he wasnt too concerned even when i told him I was timing the pains and they were every 5 minutes.. He said in a few hours the office will be open I think you might just have an infection.. Got into the office first thing, in pain, and my dr thought right away I was in preterm labor and having contractions.. she checked and I wasnt dilated so that was good, she sent me for an ultrasound and they found a fibriod, which I never knew I had before and they said they grow fast while pregnant because of the hormones and she said I needed to go into the hosptial for fluids and pain meds.. So got admitted Thurs got demoral shots and iv fluids until Satuday - while I was there they determined I was having mild contractions and I had a UTI infection and that was irritating the uterus and causing the contractions so Im home on antibotics, lots of fluids and pain pills... So I thought I couldnt take pain meds but the dr said they are fine for the baby and that I need to take them... So I went to work for an hour or two this morning DH brought me in and stood there, I got some important stuff done and now Im back home... the pains seems to be easing up since Saturday and yesterday and the dr said they should go away all together in a few days... needless to say its been eventful

I was soooo worried that the baby was trying to come out and she cant at 21 weeks she would survive so Ive been worried sick the past few days... DH has be wonderful and very supportive, the hospital stay wasnt bad at all, nurses were awesome, bed comfy and everything was clean and food was good so I cant complain.. But all in all Im doing okay I hope everyone else is...

 

[Melsue129]

Ooohhh and we had some much time in the hospital we went thru the entire name book we had and we decided on Liana Grace (its pronounced Lee-ana) we loved it and now thats at the very top of our list dont think we will find a better one...

 

[Kelly9]

Well good to hear things are going well for everyone. I can't wait to feel movements. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow another 3 days and I am officially second tri according to my ticker.

Melsue glad you're on the mend and the name is adorable! Take her easy and don't over do it.

Tummy is still very unsettled today so we'll see how it goes. I am leery about eating anything in case it acts up but I am hungry. Going to try some chicken noodle soup. Calling Ultra sound place now then heading out to class! Be back later tonight.

 

[dmn1156]

Mrs N sounds great always good if you can keep the cost down too lol

Melsue sorry you have not felt so great glad your on the mend

Kelly hope you feel better soon cant believe your nearly in the 2nd tri already lol

 

[Mrs_N]

melsue that must have been a very worrying time, I'm glad things are settling down for you and they have found & treated the cause. take things easy!
kelly wow, I can't believe you are almost 2nd tri, thats so awesome!
dmn yeah, hoping we can keep the cost down! he's rubbish at accepting any payment at all, so we'll have to find a way to sneak him some money for doing the job!

 

[westbrja]

Melsue & Dmn - So glad you're both feeling better.
Kelly - I would be careful with the diet too. You don't want the runs to show back up.
Mrs N - Doesn't it feel good to tell people. I could never hold it in lol.
Csunshine - Yeah we had a good time. I've been trying to spend extra time with them before the baby comes or before I'm too big to do anything lol.
Hello to everyone else!!

 

[dmn1156]

when i cant get people to accept money i buy gifts instead lol

i totally ache now did a bit much i think lol so im feet up for the rest of the night ready to start painting tomorrow

 

[Csunshine013]

Oh my Melsue you have been through a bunch of stuff! So glad to hear they caught it and took care of the problem!

West I'm trying to spend time with DD as well. I know once the baby comes I will be very busy with he/she.

Mrs N it's very nice that your sisters partner can do the work! My husband does construction as well. We have a bedroom upstairs. I just need to paint it and I can't do that until after my 20wk scan so not much going on there atm. LOL

Kelly you have to eat! Even if it's only chicken noodle soup. I know your tummy is touchy but do what you can. Hope you get feeling better!

dmn it sounds like you like to clean, if you want I have a bunch of boxes that DH just brought over from my house for me to go through. No just kidding I have to go through them a little at a time. I have no more room in the basement so quite a bit will be going to the dump.

afm I'm having these short shooting pains down by my uterus. I think it's just stretching but will make a note so I don't leave it. I'm pretty much scared when something goes on so might have to call Dr's nurse and ask what up with that. LOL but thought I might mention it and see if you ladies could help me out. They only last a second and it's not the same place each time

 

[dmn1156]

Csunshine id like to take a day off but if i do it seems to take me hours next time round my DS likes to make a massive mess wherever he goes lol good luck with those boxes lol as for the pains i got a lot of pains between 10 and 14 weeks which eased for a while but are most definitely back i mentioned it to the mw and she said that i had a case of symphis pubis dysfuntion i had to ask in clearer terms what she was on about tho lol basically she said it is where you have previous pregnancy your pelvis can be looser and cause you some pain and discomfort but it is more likely to be stretching at this stage try a support band

 

[westbrja]

Csunshine - I agree with Dmn. I've been having them majorly lately. Last night I about died cuz I sneezed and pulled something. Oh the muscle burned. I'm sure you are fine, but I understand all your worries, especially what you've been through. By all means call your doc or mw for reassurance though.
We were thinking about making our bedroom in the basement soon. Half of our basement is finished but this would be on the unfinished side. I think it will be more involved than OH thinks, but what do I know.

 

[dmn1156]

i swear some men think we are stupid lol my oh said it will only take a day to decorate i laughed it will take me a day just to gloss all the skirtings and doors then there is the walls and it is a big through room which i am partitioning into 2 parts a days work i dont think so and as he has never even picked up a paintbrush it will take me as long as it takes me lol im not wonderwomen certainly not at the moment anyway lol

 

[meldmac]

Mrs_N Don't think I've said it yet but a big congrats to you lady!!! I'm so happy for you.

I'm so sorry ladies I haven't been around much.

Hope that everyone starts feeling better soon and that everyone is doing well!

I'm not feeling very pregnant at the moment. I'm a little worried but I know around now a lot of symptoms can go away. I know it's still to early too to feel regular movements I just wish I could that way I could be more reassured. 4 more weeks until my next scan wish it was tomorrow!!

to you all!

 

[dmn1156]

meldmac i know it is so easy to worry but it wont be long till you start feeling those movements just try to stay positive and hopefully the next few weeks will fly by you can always rent or buy a doppler and listen in on the heartbeat another way to reassure yourself

 

[Kelly9]

That doesn't sound fun dmn! You've had a rough pregnancy.
I ate some and we're going out for chinese food for dinner when DH gets home so far tummy is ok. Just gassy.
I put on my old fav jeans on today and realized they are tight so won't be wearing them for a while again.
My uterus is feeling funny, def stretching and when I put the doppler on it felt like there was a pressure from the inside pushing it out but I know it's to early to be baby unless baby was really mad at doppler intruding and focused all it's energy on that one spot pushing into its home.

 

[shawnie]

morning ladies...

Mel I can relate big time lady about the fibroid. They gave me tylenol with codeine if I get fibroid pains but after the one episode i've not had that pain again. My doc said it was degeneration pain though. As of 2 sonograms ago mine hasn't grown but I've not got the results from this latest one yet. My doc gets a sono each month now to check on the size to make sure it's not growing. It is really common to have them and alot of ladies don't ever know they even have them. Here is a LINK to a blog I found when I first found out I had them to be very helpful. I am glad your home now...

AFM, I've been awake off and on with pains all night and morning. Gonna call the doc here in a few to ask him some questions. Im not sure if I need to worry or not. DP thinks the pains are just growing pains but I really don't know. I know they aren't from the fibroid. Now I know the difference between that pain at least lol

My niece came over yesterday to help with walking the dog and bathing her. She even did the dishes for me. I'm so lucky she was in a good mood hahaha being 13 and hormonal she tends to act up sometimes but she was such a heaven sent I couldn't be more lucky.

ok gotta call the doc, Hope everyone is resting and not over doing it. That's what men are for. lots of love xoxox

 

[Mrs_N]

csunshine sounds like stretching pains no harm getting it checked out if you are worried though

meldmac how about getting a doppler so you can hear the heartbeat for yourself? might help you feel reassured? then again, if you get one and can't find the heartbeat as you can't always if they are iun a funny position or something, it might cause more worry. difficult one!

shawnie hope all is okay

so my first day back at work today since I found out - it felt strange & I am shattered! My consultant wasn't in today so I couldn't talk to her about things, but she should be around tomorrow fingers crossed.

 

[Kelly9]

Melmac I found the doppler very reassuring! Worth looking into maybe?

Shawnie lets us know and take her easy like I tell you every day!

mrs n I hope you get to talk to your person soon. Then they at least know why you're sick or tired and not just 100%.

I have some great news today! but it's in my journal so I don't have to type it 10 times so please do check. Also another bump pic.

 

[dmn1156]

Mrs N you will certainly notice the exhaustion now but it does make it tough in the job you do

Kelly great news on you scan cant wait for you too find out

Hope everyone else is doing ok today

afm well was going to decorate but got absolutely nothing done lol i have decided that this baby really wants me to suffer as she has sat on a nerve all day making it a nightmare to walk and to top it off i started getting really strong and one or 2 painful braxton hicks so i cooked a roast and washed up and that is about my lot for today lol

 

[shawnie]

thanks ladies. well im hm from the hospital. im starting to funnel so im on meds now to stop contractions.. they said the 2 week delivery test was a positive but they arnt alway accurate like the negatives... im at home now and can only use bathroom.
