Amanda- I'm so so sorry that you're going through this. Relax and take it easy. Thinking about you tons xoxo

Morgan- Z-quil is just liquid benedryl per the ingredients, probably more expensive then the generic benedryl-marketing scam!! :) Feel better!

Julie- if you're questioning, call. Better to have the piece of mind, even if they say just wait till the am and come in-at least you asked!

Ended up with another NST today when the contractions came back with a backache and stabby pains. Bigger contractions, still no dilation-good news I guess. I just hope I don't have contractions all day for the next month-doc said something about a possible "irritable uterus"...ummm, how about an "irritable Kara". Argh. They did my strep B today while I was the pants less NST bandit-def no biggie-swabbed the vajay and perineum, no direct butthole contact for me.
 
Morgan - my vag actually didn't hurt after. I peed a few hours after I delivered and while I was terrified, it didn't hurt. What did hurt was my asshole and the area between my vag and ass. The doc cut me bc he said I would've torn upwards toward my urethra - Second degree. The pressure on my perineum was the worst and back pain from the back labor and my epidural. I got by with ibuprofen and didn't even take the norco till the next day and then only took it a few times. I think I only took one from my rx the night I was discharged. The first time I pooped was scary but didn't hurt. Not sure what the ring of fire is...I'm glad that I had the vag delivery. It really was easy. I felt absolutely no pain once I got my epidural. Just some weird uncomfortableness with each contraction and pressure when she was crowning and coming out.
 
Mirolee- sorry you're having a bad day :( I hear you on the attention thing. DH and I have definitely had days where I'm like HELLO I'm growing you a friggin human here, hows about a little credit? MEH, hormones-who needs em!!
 
omg. love you guys. love the candidness. cant wait to add my post-vaj story into the mix!

Ring of fire is supposed to be the burning sensation you feel when baby is crowning.
 
Mirolee-I totally understand feeling like you are not in control of your body. Even without the growing belly, just the weeks and weeks of nausea had me feeling that way. Now it's the belly...it's taking over! I will definitely be glad when I have my body back...

Kara-Geesh! How annoying! I'm glad you aren't dilating yet though.

Well, on call doc called me back and said I should go to l&d to be safe...So, I guess I'm headed that way.
 
thanks so much gals. thanks for indulging my whininess - i know so many of you are struggling with much larger problems/complaints/real things. if you get the chance, pop over to my journal - i put a new picture in, my belly has def rounded out. perhaps i'm not crazy after all ;) i'm just pregnant!
 
Amanda, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. We are here!

Mirolee, I totally get it. I watch what I eat and still gain too much and get fat, but on the other hand I love my belly, too! I'm super hormonal. I hate being away from my hubby. I cry if I have to go away for work or if he does. He'll be gone the first week of April, and I already miss him! It's crazy.

Rachel, glad your deliver was so easy!

Julie, I'm glad you called. I was going to say to call, but you already had. Keep us posted!

Kara, so frustrating! Hopefully it stops for a bit and then you just have her, but not too soon!

AFM, nuchal translucency screen came back normal. Yay! I called about my ketones, but they never called me back. Must not be too worried. I'm telling my doctor on Thursday I don't want to deal with them anymore. I don't like them, and this is just one more reason why. They say call, I call, leave a message, and no call back. Yup, I'm important!
 
Amanda I'm so sorry. Hugs
Julie I'm glad your going in and keep us posted.
Kara I would be irritated too.
Mirolee I'm sorry your day isn't goin well.
Afm went out for a customer appreciation dinner and stopped at my parents.
 
Sandy- yay for normal results! Those stats are really such a relief to hear! That's total bs about the doctor not calling back. Good for you for planning on saying something-that's such a pet peeve of mine when doctors are inattentive! Do your job!
 
I know. I wasn't terribly worried, but you have that worry deep inside. I have that worry about every single little thing. As far as the GD, My doctor sent me to a diabetes center. The diabetes center is the one that did all the "educating', but my doctor wants to see me Thursday to go over my first 2 weeks of blood sugars. I called the diabetes center, which is what they told me to do, but they never called back. It wasn't my doctor. They are super good at getting back with me about things fortunately. I did NOT like the diabetes center nurse or dietician when I went a couple weeks ago, but I did as I was told. I'm going to let my doctor know that I didn't like them, I just want to deal with her, and they didn't even call me back when I called.
 
Sandy- yay for normal results! Boo for unattentive doctors.

Katrina- I am keeping my FX for an implantation dip! So so hoping you get your BFP!

Morgan :hugs: I'm sorry you're not feeling good hun. Feel better.

Oh Amanda :hugs: I am so sorry you're having to go through this hun. I am keeping everything crossed that everything passes naturally so you don't have to do a D&C. I'm glad that he is being supportive and that you two may even try working on a relationship! I hope to see you TTC when you feel ready and for you to get that rainbow BFP! Here to support you all the way!

Mirolee- I HATE being away from home. I am such a homebody I get stressed when we're gone for more than a night or two. And I can't stand being away from DH. I'm sorry you're experiencing pain with your growing belly. But you look so cute and it will all be worth it in the end! Have you guys contemplated anymore names at all? Do you think you're going to stick with Aleksandr? <3

Waves- Sounds like Leah is just a laid back babe ;)

Julie- I agree, I would get checked just in case. Better safe than sorry. FX it's not pre-e!!!

I hope so! I've been hearing a lot the last couple of days from different people how your third is supposed to be your best/easiest baby so fx that's the case for us lol. I could use a child the total opposite of handful-Hannah.


Speaking of Leah - her umbilical cord fell off tonight when I was changing her diaper. It looks a little weird/gross so I'm wondering if it wasn't quite ready to fall off (and maybe tummy time irritated it/loosened it and that's why it fell off?) but she has her 2 week check-up in the AM so I'll just ask her ped. I'm super anxious/excited to see if she's gained any weight since her 5 day check-up.

Oh & I just have to say how weird it is having both a newborn and a toddler. Especially since Hannah's been at my mom's for practically 2 weeks (she was there all last week and is there during the day this week but home in the evenings.) After doing nothing but holding a tiny newborn and changing a newborn sized diaper for a little over a week... changing Hannah's diaper is so WEIRD. She's so freaking huge in comparison and so much heavier. Her feet look like little chubby feet and toes as opposed to Leah's super tiny/fragile/dainty-looking feet and toes. Her features are, obviously, huge in comparison and I never before realized what a big girl she really is lol. Changing her diaper is, by far, the weirdest part because it's so different than Leah's. I feel like I'm changing an adult's diaper when I change Hannah's lol.
 
Sandy-Yay for normal test results!

Well, everything looks fine. My bp was in the 130s over 70s. My normal is in the 120s over 70s, so they weren't worried. Urine came back fine. Monitored the babies and they hated it lol They were kicking and moving all around. Both hbs stayed around 140s/150s. They monitored contractions and it registered that I was having them...irregular, but they were there. I couldn't really feel them though. Only a few I felt in my stomach, mainly just feeling tight. The others I get a pressure in my chest, almost like an anxiety attack and feel like I need to take a deep breath. Sometimes my face gets warm too. They said they weren't worried though bc I wasn't really feeling them in my stomach. Cervix is still nice and tight.
My doc wants to see me either Thurs or Fri just to monitor my bp some more.
L&D is pretty boring...I was very uncomfortable sitting in basically the same position for so long. Lots of waiting lol

Side note: I just found out my mom is going to some stupid gun training thing with my gpa out of state for the last week in March. She's freaking out telling me I can't have the babies until April lol Well, guess you should have planned better! I don't have any control over what they do.
 
Amanda so so sorry. I'm pleased ex ex is supporting you through this though and we're all here is you need to cry.
Julie glad you're ok.
Sandy awesome news
Mirolee I bet you look amazing. You have been so good at exercising and that means you will have a good strong vag for child birth lol
Kara hoping all is ok and you're not in too much pain.
Amanda lol at adult nappies. That reminds me of the programme I watched called adult babies. I think it was an American programme. It was so weird but hilarious.
 
Julie- my mom was the same. She left to visit brothers baby until Jan 1. Everyday she would tell my baby/ tummy to wait till she back. It was annoying.
 
Amanda (RR) - I am so so sorry about all this. Hang in there.

Julie - so glad everything turned out alright at the doctors.
 
Julie, glad you are doing ok! Such great news!

Mirolee, you look great! Such a cute belly! I'm ready for mine!

So I guess my dad is not going to be working anymore. I'm seriously considering getting him to watch baby. It would be a lot of driving.. i don't know. He lives 20 miles from the town I work in, which is 13 miles from home yet. Decisions!
