U.S. Mommies To Be

[JNA]

im really hurting though from all the pain in the lady areas from before and my back pain from before is like 100 times worse. my tummy is rock hard most of the time and she always has her feet sticking out one way or another. shes running out of room....p.s they said she has a big head and i dont want it getting any bigger lol

Your so close to holding lo!
Kaliyah's head was 13cm and you only dilate 10cm lol I didn't tear bad either. I would advise you to get as much rest as possible. Enjoy the last days of your pregnancy.

I miss being pregnant. Lol. Its silly and I didn't like when everyone told me to enjoy it (but I did. I had a friend have a still birth right when I found out I was prego so I took every minute of my pregnancy as cherishing it being amazing. I wanted to remember every minute of it)
Jna sorry to hear about you and your hubby. I'm giving my relationship one last go. Its been pretty good so far. Definitely helps he has been making money and my work has picked back up. Its been nice getting along again.
Rosie is doing good. She has 2 teeth on the bottom and the two on the sides of those are trying to poke through. She also has been eating and absolutely loves food.

im tryingt o get as much sleep as i can but it doesnt happen much. i cant wait to get this little girl out of me eventhough im scared to death now after they said she had a big head..... y couldnt they say that AFTER shes born!? its amazing what the body does, if u only dialate to 10 how does a 13 cm head come out its crazy. i dont think i will miss it though

things shift during labor/pushing... room is made, lol! And the cervix is stretchy once its thinned out, don't worry

My son's head is 75th percentile... I only had a 1st degree tear. The size matters more depending on what YOUR anatomy is rather than theirs. And you don't really know what your internal anatomy is like until you try to fit a baby through it, lol... some wide-hipped women have a narrow pelvic opening and some narrow-hipped women have a wide pelvic opening... then the whole pelvis can split apart just enough to push the baby out also so you just don't know until you experience it.

I was worried about my 10lb baby.. but I just told myself he was only 7lbs during labor

 

[sma1588]

well i hope mine does what it needs to do and doesnt have many problems if any at all. they said they think shes going to be about 7 lbs so not to big. if i knew i was having a 10lb baby i would probly be to afraid to go into labor!

how much weight do u usually loose right after baby is born? i know its different for every1 and depends on baby weight but whats the usual

 

[JNA]

I lost 15lbs in 10 seconds lol
Its such a relief once baby is out you dont even feel the tear. I had a 2nd degree and swore it felt like a 3rd degree lol But you get pain meds and having lo finally here keeps you occupied

 

[lisaf]

my tear wasn't so bad... she was down there stitching for ages that I teased her about not needing anything fancy like embroidery.

I lost 15lbs within the first couple days... though it helped that baby was 10lbs of that I was back to pre-pregnancy weight within 2 weeks but took me a few months to fit into my regular clothes and I haven't dropped more weight since Of course I eat everything in sight so thats not exactly a surprise.

 

[sma1588]

hmmmm i would love to loose 15 lbs quick. i would only be 2 lbs away from pre preg. i only gained 17 lbs this whole time. thats funny about the fancy stitching!

well i think im going to make OH take me to the mall today just to walk and walk and walk so i can try and get her out asap!

 

[lisaf]

lol, oh yeah, I remember the walking... have fun!

 

[sma1588]

went to the mall didnt even get to walk as much as i would of liked to because hes always in a hury to get out of the stores or just get out of anywhere that i wanna be. yet if its a place he likes he will be in no hurry at all. so i made him take me to kohls and i tried to get a little more walking in. came home and had a few contractions, bounced on my toes while in the shower and had a few more contractions. hopefully she comes tonight

 

[JNA]

Sex sex sex and maybe some squats will help.
Nothing worked for me but im hopeful

MissFox glad you and hubby are working things out!

OH and I weren't married and I didn't want him to abandon his family because of me even though his mom is crazy as bat shit.
If it is meant to be we will find each other someday lol

 

[sma1588]

sex has happend 1 time in the last like 3 weeks, i dont even like OH right not much less put myself through more pain and him whats he wants. i rather wait for her to come on her own.....it might be soon with these contractions they stop for a little bit when i lay down but come back when i stand up and move around.

 

[heyyady]

Then get walking!!! yeah or more babies!!!

 

[sma1588]

ive been walking like crazy as much as i can.....im getting contractions when i walk and some other times but mostly when i walk. i have my dr app 2morrow so will c what she says. i will b 2 days over due date and really cant take it anymore..... my back is hurting sooooo bad and bump is to at night

 

[JNA]

Well my best friend's daughter passed away tonight. She was only 2 years old. Please pray for Charlyne Sauls and her family. I am doing my best to be strong but seeing her holding on to Skyler after she passed has torn my heart to pieces.
Please keep them in your prayers.

 

[tlh97990]

oh wow JNA i'm so sorry to hear that. i will pray for her and her family. losing a child at any age would be incredibly tough but i couldnt imagine losing a child that young!

 

[lisaf]

Thats so sad My mom has never been the same since my little sister passed My thoughts are with her and I hope she has support to get through this horrible time

 

[bbygurl719]

my thoughts and prayers are with her. that it so sad im sooo sorrry to hear that!!

 

[MissFox]

I'm sorry to hear that JNA. Ill be thinking of her.

 

[JNA]

So I'm her best friend and it's so hard for me to be around her. I'm trying so hard to be a shoulder to lean on but seeing her fall apart tears me up.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!
