Wilsey congratulations on the weight loss you're looking amazing
Love the nursery, beautiful set up and decorations. William is a very lucky little man

In regards to weight gain, as long as you're eating healthy and drinking plenty of water then you shouldn't be to worried about weight gain as everyone is different. I'm still gaining a kilo a week, midwife says it'd be mostly fluid retention as my feet are swollen when I wake up, but I think it's more associated with how many cupcakes I've been eating

As for me: I'm still hanging in... I haven't felt any changes in my body, so it looks like Bumpy will be forced out at the end of next week. My fingers are still crossed that Bumpy decides that coming on their own accord would be best, but babies will do what they want

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks Rigi!

I thought I was going to have to be induced but it happened on it's own all of a sudden. You just never know!

 

[wantanerd]

induction sucks (at least mine did) next go around, I hope to go into labor naturally.

 

[Rigi.kun]

I'm hoping I go naturally before Thursday. But I'm still not having any signs. Well other then I feel like I'm going to pop everytime I have a BH. I keep telling my body that it has practiced enough and it's time to do the real thing... still waiting for that happen

 

[likeaustralia]

So this might be a little bit TMI... but I woke up this morning, stood up and got a big gush. I was terrified that my water had just broken. DH was in the bathroom and I screamed at him that I thought they had gone. He called my MW and we rushed up to the birth center. She checked me and it turns out it wasn't my water -- I've just suddenly got no bladder control when I get up from lying down!!!!!!!!! The HORROR! My husband was really sweet about it though and was just like, "well that was a good practice run. got here in under 40 mins. now we know we need to pack x, y and z (different things in the bags) differently for the real thing..."

She did say it looked like I had a yeast infection though, so maybe it's just irritated down there and contributing to the erm.. lack of control? I haven't had any itching or anything, but she told me to pick up some 7-day cream and she'd check me again next week. I've been getting some twinges and things really low, so I think baby is hitting my cervix now. Very uncomfortable, and would also explain the increased pressure on my bladder.

Anyway, we did my normal appointment today instead of Friday so I wouldn't have to go up there 2x in one week and FH is measuring right on, baby's HB was good, weight was good, etc., so it was just a bit of a scare.

Oh, pregnancy is so glamorous...

 

[armywife11]

LOL Well at least your ok! And it will be a story you will think back and laugh at.

Yesterday I got up from our leather chair to get something came back and found a puddle of water in the seat! I checked it and it had a weird smell and was clear. I ran to the bathroom and stripped thinking the worse...


My dog had gotten a drink then slobbered all over my seat.

 

[likeaustralia]

Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't what I thought, but it was a humbling experience. Never did I expect THAT. I hope if doesn't happen for you, army wife! Don't forget your kegels, ladies!!!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Oh armywife, sorry but that did make me laugh, bless you!! If there is ever a spec of water anywhere, like on the kitchen floor my DH asks if it was my waters?!

Likeaus, poor you but good news that it wasnt waters and baby is still baking nicely. I thinks its pretty common hun, happened to someone else on here whose journal i read yesterday. Keep doing your pelvic floor exercises and hopefully wont happen too much.

Hope you're ok Rigi and maybe in labour!! I've got a week till my due date, no signs yet!!

[likeaustralia]

Oh, and I have my final prenatal meeting with my doula tonight. I'm not exactly sure what we'll go over, but I'll update after that.

 

[armywife11]

I am knocking out those kegels as we speak!! I have only peed myself two or three times since getting pregnant. One when I had morning sickness and the other two have been in the thrid tri and its because I wait to long to get up then have to try and waddle run to the bathroom.

Right now I feel like I can't empty my bladder like the baby is blocking the "line" a little. It killing me I am so worried about a a UTI or Yeast Infection.

 

[wantanerd]

It's amazing how much your bladder can hold after you give birth. I felt like I was peeing forever in the days after delivery. It has been a nice change to not have to pee every 10 minutes.

 

[josephine3]

Oh dear likeaus I do feel for you tho I've nearly not made it a few times.. I've had a few little leakages like when I cough or sneeze or throw up but never a proper wee! When i get up in the morning its the worst - I literally have to pee like 6 or 7 times a night, every time i wake up... anyone else find that if you roll over to your other side you immediately have to pee?

 

[likeaustralia]

The thing about it was I didn't even feel like I had to go. That's why I was so scared it was amniotic fluid! It was around 6:30am and I had just gotten up at 4 to pee, so it's not like I had gone all that long between pees. UGH! I'm just hoping that this is a yeast infection symptom and will get better when it goes away. I've been peeing like every 20mins today just to make sure it doesn't happen again. I got up at least 6 or 7 times during the night too. I don't have the rolling over thing, but I imagine that would be super annoying!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Yes I feel like I need to go when I roll over, really annoying!! I have been lucky tho seem to have a big bladder so even now baby has dropped I'm only going 2 or 3 times in the night. I'll have more of a shock when baby comes tho as I haven't got used to sleepless nights I still sleep well.

 

[haj624]

Yayyy Happy 8 weeks to me!!! We have our 8 week Sono tonorrow and then dobt go back till 12 weeks. I've been a little spoiled going to the dr every week. Im glad to see you're all doing so well!!!

 

[likeaustralia]

Hope your two little raspberries are doing well, haj!

 

[haj624]

Thanks so much!!! Me too!!!

 

[rosabelle]

the most i have had to get up at night is 6 times.. and i drunk almost 5 litres of water that day so no wonder!! lol
on a normal night maybe 2 times..
Have only 'peed' myself once last week when i got really nauseas and had to throw up.. was just horrible!

 

[haj624]

Hey ladies here is my 8 week sono. The doctor said both babies look healthy and have strong heartbeats!!!

 

[haj624]

And ladies...2 quick questions...1)does anyone get bad cramps after an orgasm? 2) yesterday (tmi alert) i wiped myself and I had a long snotty discharge...is that normal? Of course i google it and it says stuff about your mucus plug blah blah blah so i got nervous
