U.S. Mommies To Be

They lasted for 2 hrs like that but have slowed. Not timing them anymore since they aren't close together or painful. Blah I'm just gonna see how it goes from here lol. We shall see.

Hi all-
Well, I had to go to the hospital on Wed. night. I was having a lot of back and bump pain. At the hospital they determined that I was having contractions, after some tests they said that I wasn't progressing to preterm labor- thank goodness! But while there I also ended up getting violently ill and it lasted all night. Not fun. Went to see the OB yesterday and she put me on bed rest for a week. Still not feeling great. It's hard to get used to the idea of bed rest. I keep thinking of things I want to do, but I'm trying to stay on the couch or bed as much as possible. So glad that (for now at least) it's only for a week. My heart really goes out to the ladies who have to be on long-term bed rest. It's tough!

went to my MW app and she tried using the doppler to find the HB and she couldnt then tried the ultrasound machine and found it. bubs was hidding over to the left but she had the doppler in the middle mostly

glad to hear they found it sma!! They didn't even try the doppler on me until 17 weeks I think, lol.

Soph- bed rest sucks- but do your best to stay down! It's hard to let it all go and ask for things rather than do/get them on your own, but it's important!

Lady- All free and clear or Tide free

 

[heyyady]

oooh- and Lisa- if it's not going to affect how long you get after, then TAKE IT!!! lol

 

[sma1588]

lisa- i didnt think they would this early but she said they can usually find it at 10 weeks but not this little one she had to do the ultrasound to find the baby then get the HB that way....

 

[lisaf]

lol, well... I figured they didn't bother even trying on me sooner because I'm fat

I'm a big fan of All Free & Clear!! I don't like my clothes to smell like anything, lol.

HI!
sma- the first time they tried the doppler on me the look of panic was all over my MWs face!!! She could NOT find the heart beat and I just had to sit there and watch her because she was looking WAAAAY too low! She was so paniced they almost sent me for an ultra sound and then I was like "UMM MOVE UP 2 INCHES!" and as soon as she did- BAM! whoosh whoosh whooosh!! They often have a hard time with my LO though- and I always have to tell them where to look.

I had 3 weeks of bedrest with my last pregnancy (surro pregnancy) and it sucked big time. Sooooooo beyond boring. I'm so glad it's not PTL though. Rest up and keep on baking.

went to my MW app and she tried using the doppler to find the HB and she couldnt then tried the ultrasound machine and found it. bubs was hidding over to the left but she had the doppler in the middle mostly

I bet she was panicked! Glad your LO is doing well.

[sma1588]

ya the lady was scared to u could see her kinda licking her lips like she was scared she just kept doing it over and over then grabbed the ultrasound machine, went over to the left and there was bubs hidding on the left side that was the worst feeling ever though because im already scared when i go in that there not going to find it and ya

OK WTF IS WRONG WITH MY DOG?!! Apparently the likes the smell/taste of prego vajayjay. Yea- we're so broke right now I'm damn near crying about my underwear my dog just ruined. I'm running low on underwear and she keeps eating them!!! I put them in baskets but then they get knocked over and she hunts them out and eat them! I don't get it!!! I wear panty liners almost every day and shower! She should NOT like them THAT much!

HAHAHAH my pup eats everyones underware. No one notices until you want to put them on and it looks like a rat got ahold of em

Hi ladies it has been a while since I had time to chat on bnb

Cant wait to see pics of the beautiful babies some of you are expecting real soon

Think I have been have bh but im so squishy its hard to tell for sure. Apparently I look huge because everyone keeps looking at me bug eyed all of a sudden.

Now that im in the 3rd trimester my temper is so short. I know who my true friends are because they come back after I curse them. I just get fed up so easily.

Moved into my new home to prepare for baby and cannot get an ob appointment to save my life. Have not been seen by a dr since Jan and im really upset about it. May end up going to er and demand to be seen. Especially since my feet and face are swelling im scared its gd.

 

[heyyady]

JNA- where are you located, hon? there are all kinds of walk in maternity clinics out there-

 

[JNA]

Roxboro NC we dont even have an obgyn in the county and the Health dapartment cant see me till the first week of april. The closest ob office is out of state and my insurance wont work there and the ones in Durham need files from a hospital visit that I have to drive five hours sign a piece of paper and pay $50 I dont have to be seen.

I need to go buy some laundry detergent since I sorted through all my baby clothes today. I used dreft last time and when my son was about a year I found out Target has a knock off of dreft.

 

[lisaf]

JNA - I have the same issue with detecting the BHs, lol! too squishy
I don't know what to suggest about getting to see a doctor. I think the swelling is more likely to be blood pressure related, not GD... Which luckily is something that is fast and easy to check. Swelling in the face IS supposed to be a warning sign... feet swelling can be normal if it happens after being on your feet all day and goes down when you put your feet up.

 

[JNA]

I had no clue that facial swelling was a warning sign. But it not like my face swells randomly it permanently looks swollen like im retaining water in my face
