TTC and Beyond!

[clynn11]

Appt. Went pretty good. Felt a little rushed and baby girl wasn't cooperating so I didn't get to see her in 3D cuz her placenta was blocking her face. Report from anatomy scan came back all perfect. She was weighing a little over a pound at that appointment (21+3). I think she's gonna be chunky. Really disappointed though, like ash said our hospital no longer allows water births and I'm super bummed. You're allowed to labor in the tub but not actually give birth. Really frustrating to be told you're not allowed to give birth the way you want to.

Ashlee tht sucks tht your hospital decided on cancelling water births...have all the hospitals in your area done tht??? Can u not choose to give birth someplace else?

Our hospital was the only one north of Sacramento in California that did them. And like I said they've been doing it for 20 years successfully so it just pisses me off that all of a sudden it's being deemed "too risky" so hospitals are running and hiding. So, no I don't really have any other options unless I want to try and find someone that will do a home water birth which I didn't really want.

hmmm tht really does suck then...sorry girls

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks waves and Sonia for the bf tips. My supply has picked up a lot this past week. I pumped 3 oz after I fed her this morning. I will try the tapioca pudding though. I do like it so it's worth a try

Ashlee that stinks I'm sorry.
Afm just got home from work and must have ate to fast, I developed super heartburn. in laws are being awful more on them in my journal they are being religious nuts.

Thanks girls, it definitely is frustrating to be told that you can't have the birth you want.

My day has been pretty poop . With the water birth thing and then going to pick up my lunch which was called in and no one knowing about the order, including the cooks, it's been very frustrating. Only saving grace was a stranger complimented me and said that I make such a pretty pregnant lady. Thank you kind lady because if I had more negative today I was going to burst!

Rachel- that's awesome!!! Unfortunately I feel like mine is reducing...like I said I usually get about 16-17 oz when pumping 3x at work. Well Monday I got 16.5 (normal!), Tuesday I got 13.5 (way low) and today IV gotten 9.5 (and I'm currently pumping session 3...i cant image I'll get 6.5 oz which would get me back to my normal)... I m guessing I'll get 4oz...so I'll be at a total of 13.5 oz again...boooo!!! IV been chugging water, my pee is clear! Don't know what changed, but I want to change back! I feel like my left boob has given up.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I found pumping made my supply worse!

 

[pdxmom]

Did any of u have ms in third trimester???i threw up all my breakfast and fruit this morning...lunch is still down tho...hopefully it was just a one time thing fx

 

[goldstns]

Interesting bb.

I have to pump cuz of work, but I agree that Alia gets more out then the pump.

I'm wondering if I need tot urn up my pump...maybe that will pull out more milk!

 

[goldstns]

Ok so total of 14.5oz today...1oz better then yesterday...hopefully getting back to 16-17oz.

need advice: so dh and I don't trust my dad. He was a bad dad to me. Anyways, he and I r working on our relationship, but its only now because I'm old enough/smart enough/ strong enough to make my own opinions when we talk. However, he verbally abused me when I was younger and was absent when I was a baby...anyways, this Fri is dh's day with Alia and dad just text him saying "id be happy to take Alia for a bit Friday." hmmm...i don't think so!! I'm having dh say "I'm looking forward to spending the day with her thx. And she's in a phase where she wants mommy/daddy."

I don't see the problem, I'm close with my parents. But I don't even let my in laws dog sit. So it's your baby if you don't want her with him alone, your choice.

 

[frsttimemama]

Nothing wrong with that Nikki! I think you handled it well. And thanks for the pointer on letting her know I am sick. She's out today anyway.

Ashlee, so frustrating! I'm so sorry !!

 

[goldstns]

Katrina your chart looks nice!

 

[goldstns]

Sonia at about 34 weeks I got super sick...throwing up and all

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Nikki - could you say something like "We don't really feel comfortable letting others watch her alone yet" or something along those lines?

Sonia- Luckily my ms has not returned since week 18, but my heartburn sometimes makes me feel sick.

 

[frsttimemama]

My mom is freaking me out. She seems to think I should be feeling the baby move a lot. I don't. I felt a maybe bubble once last week and a couple times a couple eeeks before. I'm almost 17 weeks. I thought I would feel them for sure by now! So glad I have an appointment today. I need to hear the heartbeat and an antibiotic.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Don't worry Sandy, every baby is different and the placenta placement makes a difference. I think parents are sent to this earth to freak us out.
Afm up early for my needle poke. I hate blood draws.

sandy, i was just starting to feel Alek around week 16. intermittently. on his sporadic schedule. i would say about week 20 i could def tell when he was moving, and by 22 weeks he was moving all the time. tell your mom "you're freaking me out, my dr said everything is fine, so please stop giving me the crazies!"
