Sticking Together Crew

[AmaryllisRed]

Ysa-- I didn't watch yet. Was planning to... but not sure I want to with things getting so close... might wait until AFTER Crumb comes and then catch up.

A girl in the c-section chat thread just related an awful story of having a huge amount of scar tissue left from her first section and the dr took over an hour to try and get the baby out... eek! Wish she would've wrapped it in a spoiler... but only some of us in there are ttc or pregnant, so... Anyway, now I have to put that out of my mind.

I've been wondering about Erika, too. When was she going back to the dr? Today? Tomorrow?

Andrea, my dr said my section would be during my 39th week, and she usually does them on Wednesdays. My dad's gf had said that my dr usually does them on Tuesdays. So I don't know if one of them misspoke or if my dr is planning a schedule change or what. But she told me yesterday that we'll schedule it at my next appt at 34 weeks. I'm excited to have a plan in place.

Hi ladies I have been sitting around pouting the last two days because im still pregnant. I cant wait to meet my baby its getting depressing. It seems like everyday january mommas are delivering but nothing for me. Im headed to the doctors tomorrow afternoon hopefully I can have a positive update.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awwww
Hopefully you'll have some good news to report tomorrow. You must be getting so anxious!!

Hoping for great news Erika..

Ysa havent watched yet i dvr'ed it so i can watch it.. just started it but thats it.. maybe after mckenna is alseep..

Jen a client told me a very scary story involving a friend who had scar tissue from a previous c-section which I will NOT be relating.. wish people wouldn't tell these scary stories !!

I also find you stumble across these things on here in peoples sigs, if they have lost a baby once born or child, its so upsetting and makes me worry more..

Ericka good luck !! Maybe he's holding out for his due date !

Well, going to do some jobs round here then meet friends for coffee, go for a swim then back home for more jobs - happy to say I can see the light at the end of my To Do list, should be able to relax more next week !

Morning ladies - keep checking to see if there's another baby in here! I'm sure there'll be one any day now!

So we're up North with OH's family and we've been co-sleeping because with all the added stimulation and being passed round and weird surroundings, the last thing we want is for her to be stressed at night when we're trying to get her to sleep (we're planning to hit the bedtime routine full force when we get back - bath bottle bed in the moses basket etc). On Tuesday night she had her bottle at midnight, was asleep in with us by 1am and then slept through till 6.30am. On Wednesday night she had her bottle at 11pm, was asleep by 12/1am and slept through till 7.30am, and last night she had her bottle at 11pm, went to sleep at 12.30 and slept all the way through till 8am! While this has been brilliant as far as sleeping is concerned, I'm a little worried about how long she's going between feeds - I mean last night to this morning is 9 hours between a bottle! To be fair, she HAS started drinking more at each feed - usually she drinks between 3.5 and 4.5 ounces but since she's been sleeping that long she's been draining each of her 5 ounce bottles during the day, so she's having around 22-25 ounces of milk a day (which is apparently about right for a baby of her weight - which is 11lb 1oz now btw ). I think I'm just being a bit of an over-paranoid mother, considering most people would just be happy with the sleep and get on with it... what do all you ladies think? xx

hi girls, i need some of your thoughts on this please as i am really confused

at 5wks 2days my hcg was 449
at 7wks 2days my hcg has gone up to 1200

ultrasound at 5wks and 6wks 3 days but empty ovum.
had brown discharge at 5 weeks 5 days and stopped
brown discharge started again at 7 weeks and still is.
at present i am 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant.
going for an ultrasound today.

has anyone experienced this? what could this be?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Rachel-- I would be happy with it. I know some people say wake them up to sleep... I say, forget that! I would be prepared to offer her a little more during the day, though, if she is finishing her whole bottle. If she finishes it, maybe put another ounce or two in there and see if she wants it.
I really think babies know when they want to sleep and when they want to eat, and we should be receptive to that.
Of course, this is all after I've been through it once. As a first-time mom, I doubt I would have been so relaxed about it.

Isabel, I'm sorry as I've never been through this exact situation, so not sure of what advise to give.. I'd think that the increase in hcg over 2 weeks is a small increase.. I would have expected the 2nd beta to be a bit higher than 1200. your levels should have been well above 1200 before the start of your 6th week, closer to 1700 if levels were rising properly. Don't want to get you down, but just being honest please don't take it wrong let us know how the US goes today.

Vicki-have fun getting your last things done..

Erika-good luck today..

Rachel-I too would be happy with it.. i woke mckenna when she was a newborn but she was 5lbs at birth.. and still is a peanut.. not sure if i will this time around or not.. i agree with jen on adding more during the day and seeing if she wants it.. I think though that your both doing great..

Ysa how are you today.. hope well and the sicky feeling is leaving..

Cassie/Andrea hope your both well..

Isabel-I would have no clue as well, as my mc's were both natural... I would def be getting checked out though.. hope the us shows something this time.. fxed for you and let us know how you get on.

AFM not much new going on.. organized some in my bedroom last night.. mckenna didnt sleep well so i didnt either.. sleeping is hard the way it is.. lol but she didnt feel well and threw up in bed.. so she got to come cuddle and sleep with us.. which was not fun.. fxed for tonight to be a better night.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

aww Logan, hope Mckenna feels better soon

I'm okay for now.. It seems there's a pattern with my nausea.. I'm getting it around 4pm & for the rest of the evening.. Hopefully it doesn't happen again today.. Wasn't prepared for sickness this early!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I think increased and earlier nausea is normal with multiples.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

We'll find out next weekend! Hopefully there is just one really healthy baby in there Early labor cause of twins is really starting to freak me out, cause I've been thinking about it a lot & been on Google

 

[AmaryllisRed]

NO GOOGLE!!!!

You know better than that!! Googling While Pregnant (GWP) is a very serious syndrome and often resists treatment. Best to fight it now before it grows!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

no more GWP, promise

 

[lilrojo]

Haha i agree stay of google.. and more than likey you would get a section with multiples.. but not always..

 

[sspencer99]

Hi ladies
I do alot gwp lol

Isobel it's very weird what's going on hope ur scan shows some good news Hun

Erika are you in labour yet lol

Alough I'm 24 weeejs my Bumpage is a lot smaller than average
But is causing me great back pain I have brought me some Epsom salts I'm hoping Are going to work

Xxx

 

[Isabel209]

hey girls. thank you all for the replies. just an update: i had a scan today but ovum still empty. i am almost 8 weeks now! could be that the pregnancy is developing really slow which will end up in a miscarriage.. i would feel relieved if this happens as i really dont want it to be ectopic. at least the doctor today said that she thinks its not ectopic! cant wait to get over it and start again

 

[FloridaGirl21]
