U.S. Mommies To Be

[LockandKey]

Oh hi :wave:

I was born and raised in New York and am currently residing in Hawaii with my military hubby. First LO due in 10 days, but I could pop at any minute

 

[Sweet_Mama]

awe sorry heidi I'd gladly trade inlaws with you... sucks to not have the kind of support you need...

MIL came today for a 20 min visit...showed up 15 min early and the visit went to a total of 45 mins... she sat there and held the baby while I did dishes... I really wish she would have done the dishes and let me enjoy some cuddle time

Some people just don't get it and never will. Hugs. I meant what I said about meeting up in a few weeks if you feel up to it. Maybe late June?

Thanks for sharing your birth story.

Hey I'm probably going to be visiting friends in palm desert in a couple months lol. We could all meet up
Hi Lock! Congrats!!

 

[southerngal2]

I'm jealous! I live too far away to meet up with anyone!

 

[RosieCheeks]

Lisa - he is beautiful!!

AFM, I find out on Wednesday when my induction date is. Baby girl is measuring on the small side so they figure if she can thrive better outside the womb instead of in, they definately want to take her out.

Well, I figure we're about 3 1/2 hours apart, but meeting half way would be okay, which is about Pomona, lol... not sure I'd want to meet in Pomona, but we could find somewhere in between. I'm in La Quinta, which borders Palm Desert, so you can look it up and get an idea of what's in between.

Hi Lock! Congrats!!

In my neck of the woods! Woo-Hoo! We HAVE to get together if you're actually all the way down here, most definitely!

Well, good luck either way, hun. Can't wait to see pictures of your baby. I hope everything goes perfectly smoothly for you.

Lisa~ I'm just in tears over how you, your DH, and Daniel were treated after the birth. It's awful and I'm so, SO sorry. I really just want to give you a big 'ole hug and let you cry as much as you need to .

I understand, I really do. With a first baby they sometimes treat you like you are stupid or something... they did that to me with Kyle. A nurse yelled at me for lying him on his back in my bed while I ate... this was about a year before the whole "back to sleep" thing started and she made me feel awful and like I was trying to hurt my baby. Believe me though... with baby 2... I was mama bear, don't F with me OR my baby!

Anyway, I wish I knew how to make any of it easier for you. I'd come all the way up to you to visit at this point if I weren't still so darn pregnant.

 

[lisaf]

sweet mama - hmm, it may be a while until I'm up for a long drive like that! I can't do long drives until I'm back on my medication and thats going to be a month away or more depending on breastfeeding and if I can stay on it while BFing etc. I just know my limits and thats a long time for me to be behind the wheel.

Thanks for the empathy... I was so furious and definitely stood up for myself, but still felt so helpless because the only reason I was in that situation with that crappy nurse was because of the NICU stay and I didn't have any control over him being in there or not.

Hey ladies :wave:

Welcome LockandKey

Lisa are things better with the inlaws and breastfeeding?

Rosie hope all is well with you and lo

SweetMama still think you having lo early?

Went to potty and my undies were soaked and im 95% sure I did not piss myself I dont think its my waters because theres no dripping I can feel

Dr appointment yesterday and they didnt check my cervix. She told me to hold out till next week. They dont want too much action down there. But I totally want to know whats going on lol

 

[heyyady]

JNA- call your Dr- also (This is gross) but smell your panties- pee smells like, well, pee- waters smells sweet- almost like semen (another gross, I know- but no one makes it out of pregnancy with their dignity intact! )

 

[JNA]

Ok calling dr now. There is no scent.

 

[lisaf]

its easy for them to check and see if its your waters at the hospital
I don't know that it helps much to know whats going on down there... you can be 0cm and then go into labor and fully dilate in hours.. you can also hover on the edge of being ready for labor for weeks.

still being annoyed by inlaws... breastfeeding still a challenge

 

[luckyme225]

JNA- I would definitely get it checked, it's an easy swab test like Lisa said.

Lisa- Hope things get easier for you soon.

 

[JNA]

Wasn't my waters
But there are officially 2 June babies already born

Lucky you have been quiet. Guessing no labor pains bothering you

Lisa My cousin said she struggled for a month with breast feeding then miraculously baby was on boob like a pro. Good luck

 

[southerngal2]

Lisa- Hope it get easier for you.

lucky- How are you feeling? Any signs of labor coming?

AFM: I go into both Dr's tomorrow, OBGYN and the Perintologist. So we will see where I'm at.

 

[JNA]

Southern hope your making progress and all is well

Do you get nude for acupressure bc I have no clue what to wear to my 1:00 appointment

Sorry, I've never had acupressure.
But I can't wait to hear how it goes!

 

[luckyme225]

No contractions or anything to tell me labor is on its way. Cervix is ready, baby is engaged and plug is gone but this baby decided he will be staying in for now regardless. I have an appointment Friday to find out if I have to be induced. I have a history of SGA and calcified placenta and this baby has been following the same patterns. They were just kind of hoping I would go early on my own. If my ultrasound shows growth and my placenta decided not to progress beyond what it was before they will probably let me go to week 41.

southerngal- good luck at your appointment

JNA- enjoy your acupuncture session. Not sure if you get naked or not.
