U.S. Mommies To Be

She should stay home with her kid, best her kid get rest not sit at her moms job.

wow, yeah thats really rude!!! Even before I was pregnant when I worked at a place where people brought their kids in it was kind of obnoxious whether or not the kids were sick since it disrupted EVERYONE's work to have the kids around.

I had the opposite experience... my uncle came by my mom's house to help us lift/move stuff into the car (which was already sweet enough since the stuff wasn't THAT heavy, but you know, being pregnant I'm not allowed to do anything apparently )
He'd woken up and felt like he was coming down with a cold, so he stayed away and didn't hug me, but also wore a face mask.

ive seen some online from ultrasounds people posted and you can see the little stumps of arms and legs at 9 weeks. i just hope mine is clear enough for it. even if we cant see that part looking more like an actual baby will be good enough for us. after this im gonna get more ultrasounds often so i will be able to see the difference between the ultrasounds

At 9 weeks, my little bub looked like a gummy bear. You could also see the stumps of the arms and legs so clearly.


Here is my 9 weeks scan...

Yes it's rude!
I can't believe she actually brought her here.

And the office she is in we all have to go in for the copy machine and fax and scanner!
When I have to go in there, I bring my Lysol!
My other co-workers are not too happy either.

Lisa what I thought was funny was the fact she was so sweet and caring and gentle with me and to be honest I really dislike Janelles mom.. I don't particularly care for either of them

Has anyone heard from blessedmomma?

I hope the induction went ok.

 

[MissFox]

I haven't heard from her. We're in another thread together and she hasn't posted there yet either. Hope it went well. She's probably just got no time to update

are any of you guys doing birthing classes? We just had our first last night... its about what I expected... I knew most of the stuff (if not all of it) already, and there was some corny stuff too, lol.

 

[MissFox]

I am taking birthing classes. went to my 2nd one Monday night and learned some good info on things DH can push on to make pain go away so that was a plus but besides that not learning much. If I can get one good tip each time I go then it's worth it.

 

[southerngal2]

Haven't taken any classes, but I read a lot of books on it.

 

[lisaf]

I figure the classes are the best way for my DH to learn this stuff... its 2 hours that he's forced to sit there and listen to all the 'gross' details, lol. I figure the classes are more for him than for me.

Though I do have to say that when he was massaging me, I realized we hadn't rehearsed that kind of thing, and that he needed to understand that a deep tissue shoulder rub isn't exactly what I'll be needing during labor

Last class I went to was the first time I got DH to go. He's not excited about htem because he knows it all already. He also wont read any books or anything like that because he knows it all already. Yup. This is his first too.
At least this time he got to see that I was the only one there who wouldn't have my DH with me and that it is important for him to go!

 

[luckyme225]

We didn't do birth classes since I already knew the fun details of giving birth and my husband could care less about going to a birthing class. We didn't even do a birth tour last time so I'm surprised he agreed to do one for the birth center I'm delivering at.

my ultrasound is in the morning and i cant wait...i dont think i will be sleeping much tonight!!!!

 

[Soph22]

My class was not very useful, a couple of good tips. But it was waaayy too long and kind of seemed like a "pregnancy for dummies" class. DH was not impressed either, he said he felt like even he knew everything already. Oh well. I'm hoping the breastfeeding class and newborn care class are more worthwhile. They're each 2 nights so I guess if the first class is worthless I'll just skip the second one.

They actually warned us that the newborn class thats through our hospital is actually more of a child-rearing decision-making class... not a newborn care class. So it will go over stuff that DH and I need to discuss about how we raise our kids etc.
There is another group in our town called PEP which does a newborn care class first Saturday of the month... we're going to go to that.. guess thats coming up soon!! Yikes!! (uh oh, think its the same day as my shower out of town... guess I'll have to wait for the April class)

sma1588, when is the ultrasound?
Can't wait to hear how it goes!
