[dmn1156]

[wannabeamom]

hi girls how are you all??

shawnie hope you are ok? make sure you get plenty of rest and look after yourself and baby xxx

6 days till the big scan and cant wait xx

 

[Csunshine013]

Thanks ladies for all your input! I haven't called the Dr and don't think I will and just wait until Feb 8th and then ask, if it's something else I can't do anything about it.

Shawnie hope you get your contraction and funneling under control and that little stays put where she is for as long as possible

 

[Kelly9]

Shawnie whats the 2 week delivery test? Have they not put a stitch in yet? Or will they? It seems like I good thing to do if you ask me but I am not a doc of course. REST REST REST!

Wannabeamom thats great news! Can't wait to hear!

 

[shawnie]

thank you ladies.. howdy from bed lol kelly im too far along i think for a stitch but not sure. i was told im too sensitive right now. my uterus is soft, low, and at 50% with funneling a cervix of 2. i wont be having a may baby for sure... personaly, if i make it to march ill be shocked. sigh, gotta think positive though. i get breakfast in bed hahahaha

sunshine, you ok sweetie?

 

[Kelly9]

What does funneling mean shawnie? I am sorry I don't understand, I know it isn't what you want though. Have the doctors told you how much longer they would like you to keep her in (I mean obviously 37 weeks) but in a worst case scenario? You are over viability so that is super great news!

 

[dmn1156]

Hi Ladies how are you all doing today

wannabe woohoo for your scan be sure to let us all know how it goes

well still have not done any decorating lol i can seem to summon up the energy lol did manage to catch up on the ironing so i have not been totally lazy not getting much sleep at night now seem to be back to going to the toilet every 5 mins in the night lol

 

[shawnie]

kelly the 2 week test is called ffn test fetal fibronectin. funneling looks like this. hard to type alot sideways, sorry.

 

[shawnie]

they all kept assuring me that at 25 weeks ive got a great chance of the baby living though most say 24 weeks is viable my hospital says viability is 25w and on. i dont know ...

im going to try and read up on everyone so im cought up lol Feel like I am behind alot...

 

[Csunshine013]

Shawnie hope your resting nicely! It's not a good senerio but at least your making the best of it! Hopefully she decides to stay put for a while longer.

Me I'm doing well. Well scared crapless everyday but impatiently waiting for Feb. 8th to get here and then my goal is to get past 16wks and still have a HB but that's just my insecurities talking atm I have a really good feeling about this little one this time.


Didn't mean to bring anybody down just feeling really insecure today

 

[dmn1156]

Aww sunshine you didnt bring anyone down it is understandable your going to be nervous im sure your going to have an extra sticky bean this time not far off to your goals

Shawnie every week she stays put is a bonus and a good thing so fxd

 

[westbrja]

Hey girls, how's everyone doing today? Hope all is well. Not much to report here just took a huge A&P test which I'm not too sure about. I could have been more prepared but I can't go back now.
Shawnie - At this point I guess everyday is a blessing. You tell that little girl that there's no rush to come out yet. Lol
Kelly - How's your classes and clinicals going so far?
Dmn - Decorating schmecorating, you deserve a break so don't feel bad about taking one. I'm sure it'll get done sooner or later. These days I'm prefering later hence the iffy grade on my exam lol.
Csunshine - Try to rest your mind if that's possible. Don't feel bad about venting here. We are here to support one another thru the good and bad.
Wannabe - Let us know about your scan. We can't wait!

 

[Csunshine013]

Thanks ladies, I'm feeling a little better now. I got my mattress for the crib today and BFF brought me over some Winnie the Pooh linens.

dmn I don't blame you for not decorating. Do it when your ready.Your not on any schedule well you'll probably want to get it done before the she decides to come. LOL

 

[Mrs_N]

csunshine it must be nerve warcking for you, I'm sure this little one is super sticky!

shawnie each day gives you a better chance than the last so tell her to hang on in there for as long as possible!

good luck with your test result west!

spoke to my consultant today - got a really good response so that was good. she was very supportive & helpful, and really excited for us lol!

 

[dmn1156]

Mrs N great that your consultant was good always easier

Kelly im sure you will get a good grade you certainly seem to put in the time

Csunshine im glad your feeling better and it is good you got a crib mattress and looking at linens always a positive step and as kelly said you can always vent here lol i do loads lol well it seems that way

well i would prefer the decorating to get done before baby arrives but im not sure if it is going to be lol i just cant seem to find the motivation to do it i am maintaining the house and washing and ironing which is a bonus but then im done in lol

 

[Melsue129]

Hey ladiess.. hope everyone is having an okay day...

Shawnie.. REST REST REST... glad you get to check up on everyone from bed... Thanks for the fibriod information that helped alot... My fibriod is degenterating too and thats what the drs says causes the pain i guess.. Still on pain meds...

Csunshine.. Need to keep up the PMA PMA PMA - only one more week until you really get to that feb 8th date... Stay on the up and up dont worry sooo much, you are doing great!!! That baby is going to stick like no other as suck before...

Meldmac - sooo happy to hear from you love your photo, looks like your baby is coming along wonderfully...... Hugs

DMN - we are on the decorating kick too but right now I can barely get off the couch...

I thought I was doing better really didnt make it into work the past few days..So yesterday I decide to let the pain pill wear off and see how my pain was.. I felt good, so DH and I decided to go to Babies R us to order the furniture because I had a coupon that was going to expire...We were out for 2 hrs by the time that was up, I was bent over in pain, just like the pain I got on the first day... Im soooo frustrated and have been crying all day.. Im tired of this crap... I took a pain pill and went to work this morning because I dont want to loose my job but ended up in alot of pain and its sooo difficult to work and be around co-workers with high pitched loud voices especially on pain meds, its just amplified, so DH picked me up and work understood.. They are getting my home computer set up at home so I can work from home and they said I should rest for a good 2 weeks in bed so I can feel better before coming back, Ive been trying to do too much in and out trying to head to work and I just need a full few weeks to recover good. Sooo thats my story for the day.. This sucks and Im home and all I want to do is clean out the spare bedroom which is going to be the nursery and pick out paint colors but Noooooo I can freakin move without being in pain.. Im calling dr tomorrow to give them an update.. This sounds crazy but if the pain gets bad enough I start getting those contraction pains again, across my abdomen it feels like something is trying to ring out a wet towel in my belly it tightens up for less than a minute and causes pain... What the heck... So I try to take the paid meds because when Im not in pain it doesnt happen.... uuuuughgghh... Sorry about the rant, just so frustrated...

 

[dmn1156]

melsue sorry your feeling crap hope you feel better soon could the stomach tightening be braxton hicks some people i have been told can feel them early i had a couple the other day and swore labour was going to start they were that painful but they came and went quick enough

do you think it is too early to start washing the baby clothes i have bought they are all just in bags at the moment i cant remember when i started packing my bag and washing clothes with DS im hoping friday to go and buy the cot and changer and the other few bits i need soo excited

 

[Kelly9]

Hey all
Shawnie so are you in early labour according to that pic or incompetent cervix mode?
Melsue that sucks about the pain, just keep taking your pills, is the fibroid going away now though?
Csunshine hang in there, you've been doing so well lately as it is!
Me well I am in pain, bad cramping like a 7 or 8 on pain scale went to urgent care thinking it was UTI but it wasn't they couldn't find anything wrong with blood and cervix is closed no signs of blood so I guess ligament stretching? It just doesn't feel like the kind of stretching pain I had earlier. It really sucks I hope it is gone tomorrow cause I am in the hospital tomorrow and day after for day shifts and not sure I can work and deal. They gave me tylenol it helped and I will bring some with me but I still hurt.

Midterm is over, I really have no idea how I did, I was in pain and not caring so I answered the questions as best I could then left, didn't even stay behind and chat with others about it. Now I am going to heat up a magic bag a wee bit and put it over tummy. I think as long as it's not to hot it's ok right?

 

[meldmac]

Kelly and Melsue: Hope you ladies feel better soon!

shawnie: Keep resting up sweetie

Hope everyone else is doing well. I'm so rubbish at keeping up right now sorry about that. to everyone!

What was everyone's experience's with movements at 16 weeks? I'm concerned I should be feeling more than I am right now. I hope I'm just worrying over nothing but I just wish I could feel more.

Hello all....just wanted to update you on Shawnie. I hope she won't mind, but it wouldn't hurt for her to have some extra prayers. She is very close to labor right now and they have transferred her to a hospital that is better equipped to handle early labor and our sweet little baby girl. Everyone please take a second and send her all your healthy baby and mommy dust.
