TTC and Beyond!

[Ingodshand]

Thanks, you girls made me feel better!!

Home from L&D, no baby for me today. Cramping eventually subsided and there wasn't enough on the monitors for them to say anything was going on. I was dilated 3.5cm when I got there (so only a half cm more than yesterday) and 60% effaced with a bulging bag. They checked me again after an hour and there was no change so we were discharged. They were concerned about the size of my bump and she got a fundal height of 32 weeks even though my OB measured me at 36 weeks yesterday so they sent us for a growth scan. It was exciting to see the baby again Baby measured 34 weeks (I'm 36 weeks now) and since it can be a little off, they weren't too worried (and I didn't expect there'd be a reason to worry.) So we're home now and my next appointment is Wednesday. I guess we'll wait and see what happens over the next few days.

Good Morning ladies! Hope everyone is good! I had a snow day yesterday. We got close to 15" of snow and DH and I just relaxed on the couch all day and I didn't even turn my computer on! =]

Happy Friday!

I wasn't on lastnight but WOW Waves, 3.5 cm?! Bulging bag? She is really on her way!!! I'm so excited for you

Rachel- Sounds just like me.. I'm sure all is fine (at least I hope so..) They didn't give me any numbers on what the fluid levels were, just said REALLY high.. Baby and fluid both measuring 34 weeks I guess.. that's a month ahead! But they did a bunch of monitoring (breathing, movement, another anatomy scan to check for abnormalities) and everything looked FINE! That is what I'm hanging on to.. This pregnancy has been hellish and she doesn't seem to care, so hoping that trend continues. They did say that might mean she'll be early, a-okay with me Is that what they told you, too?

(P.s. glad to know you were horny lastnight lmao... Hubby was scrolling through my FB and was like WHO is this?? LOL)

Also really swollen (thought it was maybe pre-e) but happy to have learned that it can be caused by all the extra fluid. So feeling better about that, and about my 30+ lb. weight gain :/ At least I know I'm retaining water excessively. But we'll go back in 2 weeks for an US to check levels and make sure all is well.

I can't believe I'm already into appts every 2 weeks!!! And that we get our 4D next Friday, I can't wait to see her chubby cheeks!! Life is good. I feel about as good as I did last year before our accident.. It's been a while since I've been so chipper. Hoping everything ends up alright this time.. Finally, the end is in sight. This 2 year pregnancy will soon be over..

Happy Valentine's Day girls... wishing you all yummy dinners and lotsss of loovin!!

Sorry I have not been on in a couple days! Have some catching up to do. I have been busy with work, packing, and being sick with a respiratory /sinus infection. Yuck! Z-pak started yesterday though and already feeling much better! Happy Valentine's Day! We are about halfway to Florida! It's a longgggg drive, but it will be worth it! Have a great day! Hope you're all well!

Happy 8 weeks Sandy!!!

 

[wavescrash]

Haha Morgan I'm sure she just wants everyone to think she's on her way. I still don't think I'll make it to my c-section but don't know how soon I anticipate her arrival. Lost lots more bloody plug today and have had constant dull period cramping but I imagine it's just from the internal exams yesterday and not a sign of anything to come. However I heard there's a full moon tonight so whooo knows.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Waves-glad to hear all is well!

Julie- love the necklace, too cute!!

Sandy-have soooo much fun in Florida!!

Is it normal to have a two day long headache despite my grandest efforts to make it go away? I'm home from work again today...

Happy Valenitines Day to everyone!! Hope everyone of you ladies gets to feel extra special today!! Xo

 

[jury3]

Morgan-so glad you are starting to feel more normal, I can't imagine how hard it's been.

Sandy-hope you feel better quickly! Have fun in Florida!

Kara-my doc said to take extra strength Tylenol. If it doesn't go away have some caffeine. If it still doesn't go away, call them.
I'm so paranoid about preeclampsia, I'd call if you've tried those things. It's probably nothing, but just in case.

Britt-that sounds like a perfect day! I love being snowed in lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

I know Julie- that's why I was worried too! I've taken the headache medicine they gave me in the first tri that is a Tylenol/caffeine combo. I have no swelling, no visual changes, no nausea/vomiting. My bp was totally fine at my appt on Wednesday...can pre-e be that sudden onset? I wonder if I'm dehydrated? Going to try lots of water and wait till 2:30. Ill call if no relief by then.

 

[jury3]

I think it can in severe cases. There are always stupid horror stories lol I think drinking lots of water and maybe resting until 2:30 sounds good.

Personally my nipples itch so freaking much! Lotion doesn't help. Balm doesn't help. They are so sensitive already so it's hard to even scratch them. I'm pretty sure they might fall off soon. They're going to be callused by the time I have these babies. I guess they'll be partially trained for breastfeeding lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

That happened to my mom when she was Preggo, Julie. She said she used a wet washcloth to kinda "rough them up" lol...just gotta be careful bc nipple stimulation can induce labor, so it you start having BH or something back away from the nips!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Lmao @ "they might fall off"! That would suck!!! Hope it gets better!

 

[jury3]

Lol back away from the nips...I have always hated having my nips touched and it's worse now that they are sensitive. I have kind if been pinching them through my shirt so it scratches them for me. It's so difficult lol maybe I'll try the wash cloth thing...definitely don't need anything to start labor though!

 

[HWPG]

Happy Vday ladies!
And happy day to me - an outfit that totally fits! Though, not pink. Oh well !

 

[Disneybaby26]

Because everyone deserves a little Valentines Day pampering...treating himself to a sunbath!! This dog...LOL!

 

[goldstns]

Julie- make sure its not a yeast infection.

kara- is pup on the table!? And pre-e can happen suddenly... B careful!

so I'm ready for my normal clothing....well I bagged it all up when preggo.... And now I can't find them!!! Grrr preggo and mommy brain.
