The BFP Before The 'Would Of Been' Due Date Thread - Any Joiners?

[armymama2012]

Well I've never seen a male OB before. This guy supposedly has 23 years experience and good reviews. Appointment is set for the 24th @ 2:30 p.m. Wont get my ultrasound til probably 2 weeks later but oh well, at least I'm not so aannoyed anymore.

I hope you can get things worked out, armymama!

ttc, I hope the dip has been due to the ambient temp or something - still have fx!

AFM, I've had a ton of pain in my left thumb, which is now in my left thumb and down the wrist, and it gets worse in the afternoon/evening. It hurts so badly, it's driving me nuts! I know this can be a symptom of pregnancy... I hope it goes away after this little girl is born.

what's ambient temp? i've had a bad cold last few days...maybe that's it? oh well...

I just meant that I know people say that if your room is colder or hotter than normal, that can mess with your temps. But I'm sure a bad cold would probably mess with it too!

 

[kategirl]

Armymama, so glad you got an appointment!

AFM, I'm full term now! Woo hoo!

Well DH asked me to switch to a female OB once I go to this next appointment. Hopefully this next switch goes easily. I've never switched without moving, do I have to tell him I'm switching or just tell the receptionist I'm switching and make an appointment with a female OB?

 

[B&LsMom]

I would switch before your appointment army just so you don't waste time with paperwork if you aren't going to stay there also then your scan won't be so far delayed either...

 

[armymama2012]

Well switching now would push my next appointment back by 11 days so then my next scan would probably be pushed back at least 2 weeks after that.

What's wrong with the OB you were seeing? I thought he had good reviews :/

 

[armymama2012]

He has good reviews but my DH is opposed to me seeing a male OB.

 

[girlinyork]

Oh what a pity. Some men are uncomfortable with that sort of thing though I suppose.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

that stinks armymama because if he's a great doc and you're comfortable with him, you shouldn't have to switch at this point...just tell your DH that it's no big deal...this guy sees women's poonanny's all day long, yours is just another in the stack of them. He, he...

 

[armymama2012]

Thanks TTC but I know my DH and saying stuff like that will just annoy him because he will think I am disrespecting him.

Hey all just popping in quick, been super busy painting.... 1.5 more hours to go before I do another coat in the master bedroom but then it's done Gosh I can't wait to be done painting.

Of course, you don't want to do that. Some men just don't agree with it and that's ok. Don't rock the boat, if he's uncomfortable with it, I guess you have to swithc. I'm sure I'd do the same thing. Good luck!

are you allowed to be around all those paint fumes while pregnant? You better be careful!

 

[armymama2012]

Well even though we are staying team Yellow DH and I are pretty sure this baby is a boy. I am convinced because of the fact that I am growing ugly warts and skin tags just like with my first son. DH is convinced because of the activity level over this past week. The past 3 days I have counted 20+ kicks each day and the baby has also changed positions a few times (yes I could actually feel it inside and outside).

You can paint while pregnant they just recommend open windows but even without acrylic and latex paint is not harmful it's the oil and lead based stuff that is bad. I have zero VOC paint now anyway cause the smell from the first few days was making me feel yucky.

Hannah's birth/death day is Sunday and I'm just trying to stay busy so I can survive it.

 

[girlinyork]

so sorry Kelly.

 

[3xBlessed]

So sorry Kelly! I'll be praying for you and Hannah this weekend!

Woohoo, you're a cantaloupe!
