U.S. Mommies To Be

southerngal Good luck

MissFox I guess im just a scaredy cat.

SweetMama im up every morning at 4 I eventually fall back asleep. Good luck with that


Last night I was feeling lots of pressure. It literally felt like her head could pop out but there was a wall holding her back. Could that pressure be a sign of dilation?

Sweetmama- I was up at just before 4am too. I'm wondering if my body is being so cruel to get me used to late night feeding. I'm such a princess when it comes to sleep, I'm a grump without it.

southerngal- good luck at the appointment

JNA-probably just a sign of engagement. I've had the falling out feeling for weeks.

Done at the Dr.
She didn't say "long and closed"!

She said I'm not quite open yet. She said maybe a dimple.
But a dimple is better than nothing!

Got my next perinatologist appointment for next week, she said if my fluid is at a 5 then they will induce. So we will see.

And geez, don't ya just hate the scale at the Dr? It just keeps going up and up!

 

[luckyme225]

I'm oddly at ease with how big I've gotten. I've gained 40lbs but it's not from lack of exercise. I guess I figure my body needs it haha stretch marks are the only thing that bug me, weight I can lose, stretch marks take forever to fade.

 

[southerngal2]

I always think I'm fine with it, until I see how much I've actually gained.
And my husband doesn't help when he points and laughs at the scale! He thinks it's funny.

It varies upon person. I'm overweight to begin with so I've gained just under 8 lbs so far...the nurse commented how I had stayed exactly the same weight the last 2 weeks...my husband has gained more than me this whole pregnancy

 

[bbygurl719]

lol thats funny

 

[MissFox]

Weight gain is VERY Different. I never tried to not gain and I walked in to be induced after a LARGE dinner with 25lbs on! EXCELLENT! And it's all gone now. Stretchies are nice and silvery now too but still EVERYWHERE on my belly and sides.

Well upon request and me actually having a computer today- here are some more Rosie pictures!
Excuse the one of the eating baby lol but she wouldn't let me get a good shot of the fauxhawk after her bath.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

MissFox, she's absolutely adorable!

 

[southerngal2]

Missfox- she is adorable!

sma1588 - I think I gained the most around 20 - 25 weeks. At least that's when I seemed to out grow everything.

 

[blessedmomma]

!!!!!!!!!!missfox- she is toooooo adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a little angel

 

[JNA]

MissFox I love the pics she is too cute

I gained 8 pounds from 0-19 weeks then I started gaining 2 to 3 pounds a week and in total have gained 40 pounds. Im freaking out but everyone seem to think its normal

I worked so hard losing 25 pounds in August and then got knocked up

Southerngal you got a dimple I hope your fluids dont drop anymore so you can avoid induction

Im praying for my cervix to be open on Monday. I may have to take a trip and force OH to do the dirty I dont care if I get caught on grounds lol

 

[Sweet_Mama]

I've had more red bleeding today. UGH! I think she's just poking me in the already overly irritated cervix... kinda like testing it out to see if she should go there, lol. No, I'm not going to L&D over it (unless it gets bad, which it hasn't). I have a regular OB appointment tomorrow and I really want him to do an internal check, but not sure if he will.

 

[JNA]

Cant you ask for a cervical check?

 

[sma1588]

thanks ladies, the weight should be commin on any time then..ugh lol

here are some pics of my ultrasounds...i dont have a scanner here so have to take pix of them. i have a pic of her right leg/knee/foot to but couldnt get a clear pic. so u all get to c her face,girly parts,butt and legs lol

 

[RosieCheeks]

MissFox - She is adorable!

I have gained a total of 26 pounds. I am hoping that it stays there but I have about 2 weeks left.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

sma~ CUTE!

Thinking of Lisa today... hoping her and her not so little man are doing alright.

 

[JNA]

I've been getting checked at each visit. Is this not the norm?
