ELP - Beautiful baby bump!

hope.ful - I'm so sorry xx

[WashingtonPromise]

Hopeful: I am so sorry, praying you fall preggo very soon.

ELP: You look so great, and 4 lbs!!! Think I gained that just last month. I am sure everything will be fine next week with you measurements.

Yahmama: I so so glad that there is some more preggo ladies on here. Now that Jen had her baby things have been a little slow. Can't wait to hear about your scan in the next week or two.

MFC: How are you? Getting ready for baby yet?

This weekend I am going shopping with my mother to get a few things for the new baby and the other children for spring/summer. It will be so weird to shop in the baby boy section again. Oh, and I had my monthly appt this week and the doc wants to change my due date because I am measuring 1-2 wks ahead. But, I told my midwife that I KNOW when I conceived and MY dates are right. Stinkin hospital isn't going to try and induce me because they "think" I am overdue, when they just have my dates wrong. I guess I will just let it ride until I get closer to my due date and then bring it up again.

[Hobbermittens]

WP, the hospital really wants to change your due date? That is crazy! My Dr. has always been so set on the LMP date that he won't change anything, even though my u/s have routinely showed my babies farther along (my cycles are short and I typically am a few days ahead because of my early O date).

ELP, you are getting really close!! I dare you to jump on the trampoline--ha ha! That sounds so uncomfortable! I did jumping jacks trying to get DD2 out (I wanted her to be born of St. Patrick's Day, but she refused to budge until a week later!)

Has anyone heard from Begonia?

My Dr. has always been so set on the LMP date that he won't change anything, even though my u/s have routinely showed my babies farther along (my cycles are short and I typically am a few days ahead because of my early O date).



The doctor in my practice wants to change my due date, but the hospital has a stupid policy that will not allow me to go over 1 wk over due. Normally they just keep my LMP, but for some reason this guy has other ideas.....

[Yahmama]

WP- I would definitely try to hold your ground and not let him change your due date! That's so not right!!!

ELP- be safe with the trampolining! Don't overdo it! But hope your LO decides to come sooner than later!!

I went this morning to have my hcg levels checked....didn't get a call back today as hoped, so it will be tomorrow morning. I'm on pins and needles, but really feel things are ok. No cramping or spotting and I've stayed super emotional and hungry! Will update tom. when the dr calls...levels should be around 300 if all is ok.

[TTC5]

I'm on the mend yay!!!!

10 weeks and feeling great pregnancy wise sooo damn lucky I escaped morning sickness this time it is amazing. I have never experienced a pregnancy without it and oh what a difference it makes lol!

[Plum3]

WP, if it comes down to being induced I would definitely stick to your guns and not let them change your date.

ELP, hopefully you don't have too much longer to wait!

Yahmama, fingers crossed for lovely levels :) Have you got a scan booked in yet?

5, glad to hear you are on the mend. Only two more weeks til your scan!

So, I have my scan in 5 days. Wish the days would hurry up! I have a hens day tomorrow and I so don't know how I am going to keep this pregnancy a secret. The not drinking thing will be a dead give away!

[WashingtonPromise]

Bec: At least 2 of the 5days before your scan is the weekend.....the weekend always flies by.



We are bracing for the bad storms on the way. This just seems like such a bad tornado season and spring is not even here yet. We had a tornado hit last Wed 3 miles from the house.

[Tink18]

Hopeful I am SO sorry! Elp you are so close!! Gosh I am jealous!! I am really sick right now with a bad cold. SUCKS! I am almost done with work. I am leaving earlier then expected but I need some time off to be With Ava, just us for a few more months.

I also wanted to day my cousin who lost her baby at 12 weeks (we were due the same day) got a BFP yeserday! I am so excited!!! There is always light at the end of the tunnel!

Anyway...I will be 26 weeks on Sunday! I am getting so big so fast! My little guy kicks me LIKE CRAZY!!!!

Ava will be 3 next friday! OMG, I am planning her cupcake party, it's going to be so cute! And last night she fell and split her eye open and a nice shiner! Will look great with a matching Tutu!

anyway hope everyone is well! XOXO

[Hobbermittens]

WP, hope the tornados stay away! That sounds scary...

TTC5, are you still on bed rest? I can't believe you haven't had any m/s this time--lucky!!

Tink, 26 weeks already?? Have a fun party for your daughter. Sorry about the shiner--but that should make for some cute pictures! All my kids have had at least one black eye. I think it is a rite of passage.

Bec, can't wait to hear if you are having twins!!

[ELP]

Morning ladies, all quiet here lol!!

WP, I just saw the news with the tornado's this morning!! I hope that you were far away from the damage:( x

[Foxy]

ELP - Are you all set for little Dave's arrivel? :)

[TTC5]

Wonder how Begonia is going have not heard fom her in a while, she is due this month isn;t she?

[Hobbermittens]

Yes, I am curious about begonia too! I wonder if she has had her baby yet!

[Plum3]

WP, hopefully the storms weren't too bad?

Oh I wonder if Begonia has had her little girl?!

[TTC5]

Cant get the second scan as the referal is for a different company and they do not bulk bill damn!

[ELP]

ELP - Are you all set for little Dave's arrivel? :)Dave, Dave!! That just sounds so plumber or mechanic doesn't it:rofl: Why did he have to pick Dave:rofl: Not that theres anything wrong with a plumber or a mechanic! I'd be super proud if he did that!, but Dave:shrug::bigsmile:

And he seems to be sitting tight for now:) I did have some ewcm this morning though!! Which I got quite excited about and packed my bag! It wasn't show, and there is no squeezing to go with it, but its a change, so any change has me excited atm lol! AND!!!!!!!!! I have bought a camera:running: So I can post some pictures of Dave when he gets here lol! Only thing is it holds 10 pictures then its full?? I ordered a memory card at the same time, different shop, but that hasn't arrived yet so hopefully it will soon:agree:

[ELP]

I've shrunk some pics of most of my LO's to share:) Top pic the boys! middle pics DD's 2, 4 & 5! and bottom pic DD's 4&5:) Jen if you pop on you can see why my white haired DD reminded me of yours which you posted at the beginning of the thread xxx And in the bottom ppic, the DD on the left is the one I call my 'little DD' as she is nearly 2 years older (she's 5 in May) than her sister she is holding hands with but already alot smaller!

[WashingtonPromise]

ELP: LOVE the pics and the little bit if a change. Anything is good.

TTC5: So how long until you get a scan now?

Bec: How many days until your appt? 2 or 3?

We are all fine, Thank God. One tornado tore up a school very close to my parents house on Friday night, but they only have a couple down trees. I thought with all the storms most people would not be out on Saturday and my mother and I would have a relaxing day without traffic.....NOT. There were so many people out and the lines were soooo long that I heard someone say it was worst than Christmas shopping...lol. But, I did get a couple new outfits for the baby and had a great time with my mother.

[Hobbermittens]

ELP! Your kids are precious! And I think Davey is cute for a little boy--will you call him Davey?

WP, glad you are okay after the storms!

TTC5, bummer about the second scan. :(

[Plum3]

ELP, your kids are very cute! Little Dave will fit in nicely ;) Do you think you will call him Dave for short?

WP, good news that the storms didn't cause too much damage, must have been a big relief.

My scan is tomorrow morning (Wednesday). I am very nervous that there won't be a heartbeat or it won't be in the right spot. Just want it to hurry up!

[Hobbermittens]

Good luck tomorrow Bec!

[Plum3]

Good luck tomorrow Bec!

Thanks :)

[wannahealthybaby]

Hi Everyone! I just became a dream member and wanted to introduce myself. I currently have 2 DD’s and I am praying for a DS next. We are on the fence about swaying, going HT or even adopting. For now, I am assuming we will sway. I did sway using IG last time and was blessed instead with DD2, whom is incredibly perfect. I will be trying HE this time around. Sorry to ramble! I have a quick question, for those of you who had successful boy sways, what is the age gap between your DD and DS? I have a theory (one made up in my head) that a short age gap sways girl and a large gap sways boy…. but again, this isn’t scientific just something I have convinced myself of.

[ELP]

I have a quick question, for those of you who had successful boy sways, what is the age gap between your DD and DS? I have a theory (one made up in my head) that a short age gap sways girl and a large gap sways boy…. but again, this isn’t scientific just something I have convinced myself of.Now this is something I think about, but with a difference! And it comes down again to body condition. Pregnancy itself can either improve or unimprove body condition, for me it improves as I eat better and control weight gain, plus build muscle carrying the baby belly so my closer pregnancies have been boys! But other ladies pregnancy may unimprove body condition with maybe a bigger weight gain, poorer diet and more nutrients being taken by baby so meaning their bodies are left in girl territory!

wanna, what was your age gap, weight gain and body condition after pregnancy do you think??

[ELP]

ELP! Your kids are precious! And I think Davey is cute for a little boy--will you call him Davey?

WP, glad you are okay after the storms!

TTC5, bummer about the second scan. :(
I will definately be calling him Davey lol!! Unless anyone can come up with something else cute from David????? He wont have a middle name so even the chance of a DJ or DC is out, its just gonna be David (barf), Dave (barf)or Davey-boy!:bigsmile:

5 when is your NT scan, do you have a date!!

[ELP]

ELP, your kids are very cute! Little Dave will fit in nicely ;) Do you think you will call him Dave for short?

If one more person uses the word DAVE AAAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!:hair::rofl:

Best of luck today Bec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WashingtonPromise]

ELP: People normally call your children whatever you do, so most people will probably call him Davey....which I like. When is your next appt?

Bec: Good Luck tomorrow, I hope we get to see some pics. Seems like it has been a while since we had an u/s with pics.

Hobber: You said you weren't finding out, right?

Wow, 15wks to go for me. That seems so short, but thinking in months, June seems far away. I can't wait for the new baby, but I still have tons to do.

I hope Begonia gives us an update when she feels up to it.

[WashingtonPromise]

I agree with ELP in the fact that pregnancy has different effects on different women. I have a 2.5-2 yr gap between children and I have a mix of boys and girls.

[wannahealthybaby]

This makes sense, i never really thought of pregnancy having a different effect on a woman's body. For me, I am very petite and tend to gain a good bit during pregnancy. I do gain healthy weight though through good foods. I breastfeed DD1 until she was 10 months and then conceived DD2 2 months later (actually conceived on DD1's first birthday). Do you think my breastfeeding then jumping into another pregnancy could have messed with my sway?

[ELP]

Breastfeeding is something to look into, but with me I was breastfeeding more when the boys were conceived. I have 3 with the same 21 month age gap as yourself the 1st 2 are girls and the 3rd is the current bump of blue but with full swaying involved, so for me the 21 month age gap was enough time for me to have slipped back fully into my girl eating habits and to have lost any body condition gained from pregnancy! Plus any breastfeeding fat not muscle burning benefits were usualy only at a minimum by this age if there at all. So it is definately worth further investigation on this topic imo:agree:

[Princess of Pink]

5 you can use the referral at any u/s place!! Doesn't have to be the one the referral is actually for!

[My Fabulous Children]

WP- I'm good, Thanks for asking ..I'm so glad you're safe hon.

I will have my 20 week ultrasound next Wednesday and I am super excited, I can't wait!!! I hope he is still all BOY.

Bec- Good luck!

ELP- Your kids are so adorable, Thanks for sharing.

Hope everyone is doing well xxx

[Plum3]

Wanna, welcome :D

ELP, sorry, no more mention of D*ve. David or Davey it is :)

MFC, of course he is still all boy! Can't wait for more pics.

Well I had my u/s today. I have one little bubba on board! My heart was pounding while I was sitting there waiting. And then I saw it on the screen and couldn't stop smiling. I didn't get a heartrate but I saw the little heart flickering away. So nice! I have my first ob appointment in two weeks so will have another scan then!

[Ribbons]

ELP, Sorry I'm not a blue-crew-grad but I just saw this while surfing thru, I think Davey is an adorable name and for the record I dated a Davey LOL... :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Bec- So glad everything went well with your ultrasound :)

[TTC5]

I will definately be calling him Davey lol!! Unless anyone can come up with something else cute from David????? He wont have a middle name so even the chance of a DJ or DC is out, its just gonna be David (barf), Dave (barf)or Davey-boy!:bigsmile:

5 when is your NT scan, do you have a date!!

16th March :)

[TTC5]

ELP the little girl with the long blonde hair in last pic looks just like my daughter omg!

[DoulaMama]

Sorry it took so darn long to answer these questions....my life is crazy right now.

I had shoulder dystocia with DD3.
I would love info on PPH too please :) I needed a transfusion with DD4.

Can I ask what position you were in while pushing with DD3?
A lot of times it is the position we are in that causes a dystocia...that and a Dr. without patience. The head and shoulders should be able to do a full restitution before the body comes out. Many Dr's want the baby to come out fully before this happens. Dystocia rarely happens at home where a woman has full use of her body off of a hospital bed. It does happen but very rarely. About the PPH....


TTC5- Some questions- What was iron level at? They were fine during pregnancy but I was taking iron tablets.
How was your diet? I had bad ms was vomited a lot!
Any drugs during birth? No I go natural with all mine!
How long was your labor? I have had two pph with #3 and # 4. #3 went in to labour 4 weeks early and labour was around 14 hrs, #4 labour was around 10-12 max.
Did the Dr. put traction(pull) on the cord? No idea if they pulled it TBH??? I remember having a shot in my leg and they massaged my tummy?
How soon after birth was the cord cut? DD3 the dr did it right away as she was shoulder dystocia and was born with no pulse had to be resus. #4 it was cut after a few minutes by dh.
Did you feel safe and comfortable during your birth? DD4 I was very very tired as had been in pre labour for a few good days. #4 I was petrified of bleeding again and alas I did and even worse this time.
Did they leave the baby on you or whisk her away? # 3 was whisked away to resus and #4 snuggled right on me and latched herself on the boob right away!!
How soon after the birth did you start to bleed? Right away, not sure if I started bleeding while pushing though? DH and my sister said soon as baby was out it gushed out like a faucet :( My bp dropped, my hearing and visison went and I felt like I was dying.. probably was..
Was it before or after the placenta came out? Before placenta came out. With all pregnancies my placentas dont come away naturally i end up in theatre.
Did you have a full bladder after birth? Ummmm not sure as I then get taken for a general to help placenta out so am quite groggy
Were you cold after the birth? Yes and I shiver terribly but I go in to shock from the blood loss.

Have you had any d&c's? I ask because it sounds like your placenta's are sticky. It could be from scarring of the uterus which then causes your placenta to adhere to the side of the uterine wall. This would cause abnormal bleeding because parts of the placenta would detach but not others. The uterus would then not be able to clamp down those big arteries because the placenta is hindering it from doing so. It's really hard to know for sure but I would say that letting the placenta detach on it's own(with out too much massaging as that can prematurely detach small areas and cause more bleeding)would be a good idea plus no traction on the cord by anyone. If you can get into a squatting position to push it out...that's ideal. Gravity does wonderous things;) The one thing about iron you mentioned- liquid is by far better than tablets. Take it with Vit C for absorption and do not take it near consuming dairy(one hour on either side). Flouradix is pricey but so worth it. It really helps boost your stores. Even if you're not super low...it'll help you feel normal after losing too much blood. Another fantastic supp for blood clotting/hemorrhage is alfalfa tablets...super cheap...full of awesome vits and minerals and they are fantastic at stopping you from bleeding too much. They have tons of Vit K in them too so baby gets lots through your bm after birth:)


I am doing the placenta encapsulation after this birth DM....I found someone here that you pay to do it for you....I think it is worth a try!!
Awesome!! Good for you!! It is worth a try:)


DM, if your about can I bend your ear quickly :bigsmile:
I have had a managed 3rd stage every time, just because it was the norm and I never spared a 2nd thought to it. This time again my consultants only wish due to lots of babies is managed 3rd stage. Now i recently read that it is the injection of ??? that also causes the after pains to be so bad. But i am recommended it incase of hemorrhaging, I've not had any blood losss with any of the babies yet, but I do know that it is quite possible. I have been taking my iron, much to the dismay of my constipation lol!!! but I'm nervous about not taking Dr's advice, say I go with the managed 3rd stage, what else shlould I do to minimise any risk of later hemorrhaging?? Immediate breast feed, bite of placenta (lol, can you imagine that, 'Cut me off a quick lump of that love!!') My diet is good aswell. Any advice appreciated:) They give you Pitocin(also called Syntocin). The thing is even if you refuse the pit....they can give you the shot at anytime if they notice you're bleeding a bit too much. Just because you've had lots of babies doesn't mean you're broken;) Your body knows what to do. Just make sure that babe is skin to skin, nurse as soon as babe wants it, tell the nurses to bugger off until you've had a solid hour of baby time, LIGHT uterine massage to keep an eye on how firm your uterus is and maybe bring some herbs with you if you're comfy with taking something. I use Angelica and Shephard's Purse for bleeding. Angelica is used for bleeding BEFORE the placenta is delivered and Shephards purse is used for bleeding after the placenta has been delivered. If you don't want a managed third stage you should put that down in writing and tell EVERYONE in the room what your wishes are. They are so used to giving the injection that most times they are on autopilot and forget that you didn't want it. I hope everything goes super smoothly for you ELP!!! Smooth labour vibes heading your way! If you need any questions answered during your birth...I'll give you my cell number and you can text me if needed:) xoxo


DM: I love to read your posts.....so full of knowledge. Now, why can you not live in the SE USA? You can tuck your newborn baby into one of those slings and oversee my delivery....lol!!!! That is true about the OR taking awhile to get prepped anyway. I think the knowledge of knowing you can handle anything childbirth throws at you or at least feeling confident that you can do it has a lot to do with it. I wish the gov would just leave homebirthers alone, too. They make it very difficult here to get a birth certificate and all. And it varies so much just county by county, because they rarely do it and they want to make sure they don't get in trouble for not having enough proof or paperwork.
How exactly do you recommend a placenta be delivered? When it seperates on it's own?

You are so sweet:) :HH: Thank-you, WP:) I would be there for you in a heartbeat if we lived closer!
About the placenta....don't over think it. 5 mins to 1hr after your birth you will feel kinda crampy and then you can squat over a bowl...and voila! A placenta:) I think we're sometimes more fearful of the placenta than the birth! LOL It'll come out:) Just don't worry about it. Keep an eye on your bleeding but more importantly...how do you FEEL after the birth. Tired is normal. Passing out, feeling like you don't want to hold your newborn, having no colour in your face or extremely faint...not good signs. Do not pull on it- when you feel it's time for it to come out, bear down and if it doesn't come out, try blowing into a bottle. About the BC- they make it difficult here too. Every year it gets more and more difficult to get the correct paperwork etc. But, I would rather deal with crappy paperwork than go to the hospital:) xo
PS- have you read Laura Shanley's UC book? Such a great read:)


I had an assisted water birth at home and my son ended up dying officially about 15 hrs after birth. I absolutely LOVED my waterbirth and am so sad I have to do this in a hospital this time. But the truth is, he might have lived had he been in the hospital w/ more knowledgeable people. Hard to know for sure, but just be aware that there are risks in everything. They are low but you need to be prepared for the guilt and consequences of your choices "if" something went wrong. That is not a discouragment at all, just be aware. I would have thought I would have known if something was wrong and I didn't until it was too late and there was no saving him.

I had 3 previous quick uncompicated births at the hospital before losing my son. No pain meds.

I'm so sorry about your son :( I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. (HUGS)
You are absolutely right. Everyone has to be comfortable with the choices they make. Moms and babies die at home and in the hospital...it's not fair and many times no one is to blame...it's just the way things go:(
Before ever deciding about a UC I had to feel 100% comfortable with the risks and know that it fell completely on my shoulders in regards to responsibility. I do feel very good about my decision and I'm not against help at all. Yes, it could be too late at that point, but I cannot be guaranteed that everything would be ok or that I or baby would be saved in the hospital. Life is risk and we all need to live life the best way we see fit:) My thoughts are with you as you get ready to birth your daughter~ I hope your birth is beautiful and peaceful and that you are holding your sweet rainbow baby in your arms soon:HH: xo

[ELP]

16th March :)This is my due date!! Its a sign 5, its a sign!!!!!!!!
And MFC confirmation of your blue on Wednesday!!! I reckon thats gonna be my day, it has to be doesn't it lol!!!

[ELP]

DM, thankyou for taking the time to do that:hugs:

[ELP]

ELP the little girl with the long blonde hair in last pic looks just like my daughter omg!Bless them!! You'll have to post a piccy when you can 5:)

[WashingtonPromise]

MFC: Glad you are still well. I know exactly how you feel. I just kept thinking the u/s tech would say girl.

Bec: Glad all went well. Lucky you, only 2 wks until you get to see your bean again.

DM: Thanks so much for the info!!! The hospital has it's way of doing things and right after birth they start trying to deliver the placenta, so they can move on to the next thing they have to do. I have talked to my midwife about the whole placenta delivery and waiting to cut the cord, but the nurses are the ones that give me trouble.....what a pain.

ELP: Wow, less than 2 wks until you due date. When is your next appt?

5: You said your not finding out, right? I can not keep up with who is not finding out.

I found out that my hospital was approved for birthing pools!!! I am excited, but the nursing staff doesn't want to learn how to use/ monitor patients in them. Come on!!! They don't need to learn anything, just let me in the pool...LOL!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Bec, congrats on your little bean!

March 16 is going to be a big day around here for you, TTC5 and ELP!

[3Pink1Blue]

ELP - your kids are adorable and oh yes we definitely have little blonde ones don't we :) OMG I can't believe how soon Davey will be here!!

Wannahealthybaby - my girls are all 2yrs 9 months apart my however little guy is 4 1/2 years younger then my littlest girl. I have a friend who had 3 babies in 3 years and both the younger two are boys and DH and his brother are only 11 months apart so I'll say gap probably doesn't have nearly as much to do with it as diet.

Bec - glad your appt went well :)

WP - glad you guys survived the storm! In the hospital I had my dd's at they had big ol' tubs that legally they couldn't let you deliver in but my midwife said she would be unable to get me out of in time lol I sat in the tub for a while determined to deliver in it but absolutely hated it so I got out lol

Where's B? She had to have had that baby by now.

All is good here. Nipples have toughened, bleeding has almost stopped and I'm back in my regular pants. Well my post HE diet fat pants anyway but considering it only took 16 days to get there I'll take it :) Little man is amazing, he eats constantly and is a great sleeper only waking around 4 and then again at 7ish. I stare at him constantly still amazed he's finally here and actually ours.

[WashingtonPromise]

Jen: Oh, I am soooo happy for you. I can't believe we will all be in your shoes before we know it.

I guess I better mark March 16th on my calender :)

Tonight is a full moon here , ELP do you every go early?

[girlmom]

well im a blimp. i had a quick scan and an app. today. good news its still a boy! bad news im mesuring 27 weeks. no wonder i feel huge.

[Tink18]

yay girlmom im 27 WEEKS on Sunday and i swear i look 30. i feel huge as well.

[ELP]

Jen: Oh, I am soooo happy for you. I can't believe we will all be in your shoes before we know it.

I guess I better mark March 16th on my calender :)

Tonight is a full moon here , ELP do you every go early?I usually go to date which is good, but sooo annoying when your so ready to meet little one and get the labor out of the way:oops: Do you know what I dread the most though?? The visitors when home, they drive me crazy lol! I just want to sit in bed with all the kids in the bedroom with me and a nice take-away pizza on my lap lol!! But instead you have to sit in the front room and drink endless cups of tea with people who each tell you again! their own labor stories:rofl: I would honestly have a secret delivery if I could;)

Hopefully it will be this weekend if I'm lucky!!

[ELP]

Tink & Girlmom! You know that boys are generally bigger don't you:bigsmile: How big were your babies so far????

WP, how big were your boys and ladies??? There could definately be some juicy babies being born on here in the next few months:rofl:

[WashingtonPromise]

girlmom: I feel your pain. I measured 2 wks ahead my last appt, too.

ELP: That's good. Right on time babies are always nice. My last boy was 8lb 7oz, but my last baby (girl) was 8lb, 4oz. I am really hoping that this baby is in the 7 pound range, they just look like newborns a little bit longer. The 8 pounders don't stay in newborn clothes long enough. BUT, it doesn't look like this baby is going to be small, I'll take him either way, though :)

As far as the visitors, I must have a "don't come visit me" look about me. We don't get a lot of visitors, but I think with us having a large family they really feel like they are imposing and making me have more work to do. I know you have a large family too ELP (but you have the opposite). My mother really is the only one that comes to visit and "helps". When my inlaws come they just think holding the baby helps....you know so I can get things done......yeah right!!!

We are going to an aquarium tomorrow, I guess I need to prepare for all the walking.

[girlmom]

yes im terrified of having some 15lb baby. last full term baby (40 weeks) was 9lbs. all the others came at 37 weeks and varied from 7-8.6ibs. i guess elp is right, get ready for some juicy baby boys ladies

[Tink18]

girlmom i keep saying im.going to birth a 45 pound baby! haha. my daughter who turned 3 today was 7 lbs 3.5 oz. i was really cute pregnant now im just a whale.

[Flava]

I think I should move in here.Again...I hope this time I stay!

[iluvmyman]

Did Kris have that baby yet?

[Flava]

kris had her baby posted a pic on the ttc forum for us. She is sooooo cute!!!

[begonia]

Hey gals! Baby girl arrived on Wednesday 3/7 (1 day after her due date) at 9lbs 12 oz, 22 inches. Super healthy, nursed immediately for an hour and hasn't lost an ounce since birth, LOL. We might not make boys but our baby girls can arm wrestle one any day.

BBL but hope everyone else is doing well, Flava, massive congrats on the BFP! FX for a sticky healthy bean for you love.

[Flava]

begonia-thanks!
What is your baby's name? And just where are the pics????? I was so waiting to see some!Hope you will post it!She is big and strong!
How are you doing?

Quick update from me - nothing, nada, nil :rofl:

This morning I have taken down the girls bunk bed as the new triple bunk bed arrived this morning, plus I've given there room a 1st coat of paint, 2nd to be started after posting this:agree: The boys 9 & 6 had great fun throwing the old mattresses off of the stairs for me lol, and the girls stripped the bedding, with Dad taking all the stacked old frame away when he popped back in! So all i really needed to do was a bit of unscrewing:agree: And I LOVE painting!! Theres nothing more relaxing than just making all those handprints and bits of pen disappear is there. Right, I'm back to it, hopefully I'll have some exciting news at some point this week but I'm doubting it:rolleyes::bigsmile:

[WashingtonPromise]

Flava: Congrats on your BFP!!! I am so happy to have you over here.

Begonia: Congrats on the new baby. I agree we need a name and at least one pic.

Jen: Oh Lord, I hope I am not measuring that far head by then. My docs really will push me to move my due date then....lol.

Tink: Love the pics. I am sure it really was a special day for you both.

ELP: Sounds like nesting to me. I also love to paint, but DH knows how to do it professionally and says I do it wrong, so he does it.....mine never looks any different to me. What color are you painting the girls room?

I am so happy to have a slow week. Finally starting potty training, so it has to be a slow week....lol.

[Flava]

ELP- i also love painting the wall lol. Oh how much I hope to paint a boy room finally!
We are also planing to get a triple bunk bead for the girl. DD4 would move in with DD2&3 and they have the biggest room in the house and this way it would take away 1 bead place and they have the rest of the big room to play!
How does your look like? I need pics here ! I can post one after we got the bead lol.

Oh i remember WP also told me she will post pick of the cowboy room if she is having a boy.
So WP you are having a boy where are the pics??? Don't worry I also remember what i said about my dream room and I will post pics.I sure do but need a boy first LOL.

[Flava]

Oh WP you are here LOL!

I paint very good there was a painter here and asked who did this great job? haha

I think it's so mean that the doc is pushing you .Babys come when they feel it's time. Oh I really hope I can go with the birth center again!It's so different!

[Tink18]

elp you are sooooooooooooo close! omg!

[My Fabulous Children]

Congrats Begoina!

[My Fabulous Children]

Tink- Happy birthday to your little girl xxx

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies, I hope you're all doing well :HH:

I have my 20 week ultrasound tomorrow!! I am SO excited and scared at the same time. I hope everything is okay and he is still all boy.

ELP- You're SO close, KUP!!!

[WashingtonPromise]

MFC: Everything will be the same, post a pic when you get back.

Flava: Since DH doesn't know I am have a boy, I have to pretend to be gender neutral. After he gets here the cowboy room is on!!!

[Flava]

fab-we need pics baby must be so cute at 20 weeks!

WP-oh so you find it out alone? No way I could keep it from DH just because I would be so happy lol.
Wish my DH want a surprise but he is not like that...but I want one I never had one and this is last baby!
It's far away so for now I just hope it sticks.

[ELP]

Anyone heard from 5 yet???!! I hope she's got some great nub pics for us:luck::luck:
MFC best of luck tomorrow!!

[ELP]

afm, I am officially due today according to my scan date but between us my carefully tracked ov date says 2 days to go lol, so Friday for sure! But i did have a midwife appointment today and managed to get a sweep! so hopefully this weekend we may see some progress:fx:

[Flava]

ELP- wow so baby soon huh? Need lot's of pics! A sweep you had that's hurts right?
I don't know when is the appt. for 5?

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies,

I had my 20 week ultrasound this afternoon. My baby boy is still a BOY and growing well, BUT right now I'm terrified. The Doctor told me that my placenta is a 'little low' I have to go back in 3 weeks for another scan and also I will get an MRI next week I have had 2 previous c-sections scars and Doctor said placenta can grow into it. I was told not to lift anything heavy and not have sex, it can cause bleeding. I am so scared, and freaking out about it.

Has any one else has had this problem? Please give me some infor.on it. How did you get on with this condition and what should I expect - is it bad?

Here's some pics of my sweet baby boy :babym: :awe:

He looks so sweet MFC!!

[Hobbermittens]

ELP, I bet that baby is waiting for St. Patrick's day! He wants a fun birthday. :)

WP, I bet the cowboy room will be so cute!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Tink - Happy Birthday Ava!!!
Charlie was 8lbs 13oz so not huge but way bigger then my girl who were 7lbs 4oz, 6lbs 15oz and 7lbs 3oz.

ELP - I swear some babies wait till you finish your projects lol FX your sweep works and he's on his way soon :)

WP - I was glad they never tried to move my dd. My midwife asked how sure I was of my lmp and conception dates, when I told her I was positive she said ok you're just big then lol
GL with potty training!

MFC - glad he's still a he lol FX your placenta behaves itself and all turns out ok :)

[WashingtonPromise]

MFC: Sorry, no info. I hope your next u/s shows good news. Glad he is still a HE :)

ELP: How did your sweep go? Any baby?

Jen: It is so nice to hear from you. How is it with DH back at work?


I had a ton of energy yesterday. I washed all 7 beds worth of bedding and hung it outside since we have had 80 degree temps. Then I went through 3 of the children's clothes to get ready for spring/summer. After I was done I baked 2 apple pies......and then crashed in bed. Oh, and potty training is going very good.

[Flava]

Fab-your doc said a little low so I guess it's not so low at all not a PP or something.
I think yous take it easy like he said and it will be ok.
I love the pics baby is very cute!

[Flava]

5-where are you? Im waiting for pics!!!

[skrimpy]

Hey gals! Baby girl arrived on Wednesday 3/7 (1 day after her due date) at 9lbs 12 oz, 22 inches. Super healthy, nursed immediately for an hour and hasn't lost an ounce since birth, LOL. We might not make boys but our baby girls can arm wrestle one any day.

BBL but hope everyone else is doing well, Flava, massive congrats on the BFP! FX for a sticky healthy bean for you love.

Congrats on your new little one Begonia! Enjoy your healthy babe <3

[Hobbermittens]

WP, where did you get all that energy?? I am impressed! I would love to make an apple pie--that sounds so good! MMMMM...

FLava, are you still feeling okay? the spotting has stayed away?

TTC5, have you gotten your scan yet?

My 12wk scan is next Monday. I am really nervous and scared! I hope that the baby looks okay. :worry:

[ELP]

Quick update ladies - still nothing!! But I'm definately hoping for a St Patrick party aswell lol! That would have made my ol' Irish Ma's mums day xxx

[ELP]

5-where are you? Im waiting for pics!!!

5!!! Where are you woman!!!!!!!!!

[Princess of Pink]

She is sleeping...it's 4.30am here!

[Hobbermittens]

She is sleeping...it's 4.30am here!

Why are you awake, POP?

[Flava]

hobber-so nice of you to ask! Im just fine no spotting but when do i stop checking the paper I don't know...lol I will use my last test tomorrow just to see the time. I really hope it's a lot darker now that would show thing are ok, right?Im very worried about another m/s.

No symptoms really yet , just very small nose bleed every day and very small nausea sometimes. It goes away when i eat something. Oh how I wish it would stay this way! Last time was horrible! But Im so early yet so well see.

Hope you get a nub pic for us! we are dying here!sure baby will look just fine!


PP-I hope you up to poas lol

ELP-where is that baby? C'mon now I can't wait forever here !:rofl:

[Princess of Pink]

Why are you awake, POP?

Because I get up at 5.15am normally to get the kids ready for school before I leave for work at 6.30am. So I set my alarm for 4am to take my temp (any later and I tend to wake up before my alarm time). Today is one of those days I have been unable to go back to sleep.

[Hobbermittens]

Flava- glad things are going well. Nausea is a good sign! I know it sucks. I have had it since 6 weeks, and it hasn't let up yet. But luckily not as bad as the last two pregnancies--those times I was so nauseated, I could barely eat anything, and all the food sounded and smelled gross! Thist ime it is pretty mild, and if I eat often, it feels better.

I am not getting a nub shot. I don't want to know gender until birth. Sorry! :)

[3Pink1Blue]

WP - I'm falling back into the groove. The girls were only at school for a week and then went off track so I've still had a lot of help, too much actually lol It's actually going really well, I'm remembering/readjusting to the slow pace of newborn life. Holy energy batman! Way to go!

Hobber - I'm sure all is fine, can't wait to see pics!

ELP - Come on Davey!!

5 - what's the news?

[Plum3]

Hey ladies :) I feel so out of the loop, haven't been on much in the last few days!

Flava, when are you having a blood test?

[My Fabulous Children]

He looks so sweet MFC!!

[TTC5]

is everything ok WP? xxx I must have missed something?

[My Fabulous Children]

Fab-your doc said a little low so I guess it's not so low at all not a PP or something.
I think yous take it easy like he said and it will be ok.
I love the pics baby is very cute!

Thanks Flava. I'm thinking the same thing ..She said a little low, so I guess it's not so low. I'm taking it easy!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

WP, where did you get all that energy?? I am impressed! I would love to make an apple pie--that sounds so good! MMMMM...

[Plum3]

Hi Bec :wave: How are you feeling hon?

Hi MCF :) I'm glad to see your little man is still a little man. Hopefully the low placenta doesn't cause any issues.

I am going ok. Feeling really nauseated and dizzy a lot but other than that pretty good. It's DH and my 5th wedding anniversary today so we went out for breaky which was nice :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Oops I mean MFC!!!

Yes, I posted on page 133 ..would love to hear what you think!

Sorry MFC, I completely missed your update xxx
HE is gorgoeus!!!!!!! Thats quite a heavy diagnosis the Dr came out with isn't it :think: I've never heard of the placents growing into the scar before? I would have thought that the membrane sack would have helped with that but tbh honest I don't really know how things in general are set up in there. The babies in the sack, the placenta is outside the sack and the cord crosses the two, like a straw through the sack??? I'd follow Drs advice about taking it easy, hopefully the follow up scan can shed more light in a few weeks:hugs:

[TTC5]

I was told that nothing can attach to
Scar tissue?

[Flava]

Hi Bec! I can't have a blood test. Only on first appointment. Whenever that's gonna be.

[Flava]

5-baby is so cute!I love the pics!
Bec-hope you feel better soon!

[Flava]

I was told that nothing can attach to
Scar tissue?

I don't know who told you this ? Must be a doc for sure :sigh:They LOVE to talk about the danger of vaginal delivery and how "safe" is the c/s! The placenta sure can grow in to scare tissue even deep in to the uterus. C/s is dangerous and the more you had the higher the risk.Just read this about C-section complications (http://www.livestrong.com/article/31679-multiple-csection-complications/). Im so glade I was lucky to have a vback .Want to do it again with this baby .Hopefully i get there.
Im not saying vaginal delivery is always safe and c/s is always very risky .But it's just ridiculous how every doc lie about this!

[WashingtonPromise]

Wow you ladies were busy:

TTC5: I love the u/s pics. I can not beleieve all you have been through. When is your next u/s?

Flava: I hope the nausea isn't too bad. I had nose bleeds all the time with DS2 and a couple times this pregnancy.

ELP: Today is your due date right?!?!? We are going to have another baby soon!!!

Jen: I am so glad Charlie is fitting in so nice. Your right, newborn life is more slow paced. I like to stay home as much as possible with a newborn.

Hobber: Your u/s will be just fine. Are you going to do a nub?


I had all that energy for 2 days and now I am exhausted again. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I still have a good bit for spring cleaning and summer clothes to go through, but not right now. Thank goodness it is Friday :) This weekend is going to be busy with farm work and such.

What are you guys doing?

[Flava]

Wp -you should rest.Im so jealous of the farm!

I don't really have nausea (and wish it stays away this time!) it's just very mild and only a couple times a day .It goes away after I eat something .i like that a lot lol

[Hobbermittens]

WP, no nub guesses for me! I am terrified of finding out that it is a girl and having my pregnancy ruined. I am pretty sure I am having a girl and that my sway didn't work. But to have actual validation of that fear would be hard for me right now. I will do much better when they hand me a baby girl in the delivery room.

Have fun working on the farm this weekend!

We are having a St. Patrick's Day celebration on Saturday, with a shamrock cake, corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. My two older kids have set Leprechaun traps to try to catch a little gold. I love St. Patricks's Day! The "leprechaun" turns our milk green, and the toilet water green, and the dog water, and usualy leaves candy in the kids' traps.

That is soooo cute, I have never heard of anyone going all out like that. You must be Irish!!! We do make corned beef and cabbage....mmmmm.

[TTC5]

Jobbers I'm the same with finding out I am so scared! Happy to nub guess but don't want to hear it officially at 20 weeks if it is a girl..

[Hobbermittens]

TTC5, from the sounds of it, you won't be hearing girl!! :)

[TTC5]

Oops meant hobbers not jobbers lol damn auto correct lol

[ELP]

Jobbers lol!!!

I reckon your both going to be hearing boy in a couple of months time:)!! The blues are doing really well atm aren't they!!

We don't do anything that cool for St Pat's day over here!! The pub's just have a promotion on Guiness and thats about it, I might take the little ones leprechaun hunting up the woods they'd love that!!

[Hobbermittens]

Not everyone here does stuff for St. Patty's day. Usually the kids' teachers mess the classroom up the night before and say the leprechaun did it, and some families do fun stuff like we do. My husband makes sure to get some Guiness too! My mom's mom was Irish, so we have always done something fun on St. Patty's Day.

ELP, Leprechaun hunting sounds fun! But I bet you'll be too busy having a baby to go out and do that!
I hope you are right about hearing blue, but I just don't feel it. I really think I am having a girl.

[Flava]

Oops meant hobbers not jobbers lol damn auto correct lol
how do you do auto correct? I could really use that lol

[TTC5]

Flava when I post from my phone, it is sooo annoying though! haha

[Plum3]

Flava, that's a bummer about the blood test. Your health system is so different to ours so I never know what the norm is. Hope you are feeling well. Oh and thanks for the anniversary wishes :)

WP, hopefully you're not too exhausted after your big weekend. Being pregnant really takes it out of you hey!

Hobber, enjoy your St Paddy celebrations. It's huge over here, but I've never really celebrated it for some reason. Not long til your scan :)

ELP, nothing still?

We're off to Phillip Island to see the little fairy penguins. The girls are really excited. I haven't been since I was kid so DH and I are looking forward to it too.

[ELP]

ELP, nothing still?

No nothing! And I'm dreading the thoughts of spending another week in the school playground not knowing if my waters will pop in a very embarrassing place lol!!!! Surely it will be tonight won't it!:luck::luck::luck: I've chucked a few shamrocks out there to kick start this St Pat's delivery;):bigsmile:

[ELP]

Bec, that day out with the penguins sounds fantastic!!

[Flava]

ELP-nothing?? You make us wait so long I can't take it anymore LOL

[Hobbermittens]

ELP! Where is that St. Pat's baby?? I wanted DD2 to be a St. Pat's baby too, and I tried EVERYTHING to get her out!! SHe stayed in until the 24th. :sigh: I wasn't due until the 30th, so she was still early. I hope you don't have to wait much longer! Will you be getting induced? Were you late with your other babies?

[girlmom]

hobber we did the same thing. i did everything under the sun to get dd1 out on st patricks day. she stayed in for another week until the 24th. by then i had given up hope and knew i would remain pregnant forever.

[Hobbermittens]

hobber we did the same thing. i did everything under the sun to get dd1 out on st patricks day. she stayed in for another week until the 24th. by then i had given up hope and knew i would remain pregnant forever.

How funny that our DDs have the same birthday! How old is yours? Mine will be 2 this year.

[ELP]

Well no St Pat's baby here unless something very speedy happens in the next 3 hours lol! Maybe I'll be lucky and have a mothers day (tomorrow) instead:)

The others have been anything from 10 days early to 2 at 10 days late, both of the real late ones were boys lol and the earliest a girl, figures eh:) I haven't even booked another midwife appointment as I was sure that today would have been the day after the sweep on Wednesday, oh well, he must be comfortable:) I have to do another bump picture tomorrrow as I am fasinated as to what this one is going to weigh in at?? I weighed myself yesterday, after lunch but had been to the loo and I had lost weight? bringing total weight gain down to 2lb, which even for me is a bit surprising/worrying. I generally do only add on the babies weight but this fella seems to be draining me? I feel fine, but am drawing in a bit in the face:/ I read that weight loss can be a sign of squashed belly, feeling nauseous again and impending labor, and I can tick all the above:)

[TTC5]

Yes we need a bump pic ELP!!!!
Mothers Day hey, our mothers day isnt until May!

[Hobbermittens]

ELP, I can't believe you haven't gained but 2 lbs! I wish that would happen to me, but I have already gained 4. :sigh:

I hope your little guy hurries up! I am sure we are as impatient to see him as you are. :)

[Hobbermittens]

Bec, when you get back, you must tell me all about the penguins! They are one of my favorite animals. I just love them!

[Flava]

So ELP no baby huh? And 2 lbs?? shame! Well maybe if you want smokey BBQ all the time like me you put on more!:bigsmile:
But really Im so tired of this craving I want it to go away.:sigh:
Tell me your secret girl!
You guys have early mothers day there ! Maybe baby comes!

[Foxy]

ELP - Maybe he was waiting for mother's day! Can't wait to see little Dave! :)

[Flava]

Where is ELP? Hopefully it's baby time!

[Hobbermittens]

I know--maybe she is having the baby right now!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Just checking in really quick ..ELP I hope you have a smooth, easy labor. Thinking of you dear xxx

[girlmom]

aww hobber! yours is still a baby! mine will be 11 and shes going on 16. yesterday she slammed a door in my face and told me i ruined her life! im offically the mom the a pre-teen!

[Hobbermittens]

aww hobber! yours is still a baby! mine will be 11 and shes going on 16. yesterday she slammed a door in my face and told me i ruined her life! im offically the mom the a pre-teen!

Mine isn't all that far behind yours! She told me the other day, "Mom, you mean." :sigh:

[TTC5]

Hope ELP is birthing!!!! ;)

[My Fabulous Children]

Jobbers I'm the same with finding out I am so scared! Happy to nub guess but don't want to hear it officially at 20 weeks if it is a girl..

Jobbers, lol :)

TTC5! I think you will hear boy at your 20 weeks u/s! Your nub looks very boyish!

Can you book a private gender scan around 16 weeks?

[TTC5]

Hey MFC - we dont have any places where I live that do elective scans. They will only scan you if you have a referal from your doctor and on medical reasons only.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hobber, I know exactly how you feel ..I was feeling that this baby is another girl, but I was WRONG!!

I think you should get a nub shot :) but it's up to you, I understand. I hope you get your little boy xxx

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey MFC - we dont have any places where I live that do elective scans. They will only scan you if you have a referal from your doctor and on medical reasons only.

That's suck. It's gonna be a long wait for us!!!

[TTC5]

Yes we would have to travel to the mainland of Australia to get one of those scans and that would cost airfar/boat travel accomodation etc so I think I will pass lol :P

[Plum3]

ELP, we are all waiting for some news!

Hobber, oh penguins are just so cute. The way they waddle along making their little noises.

5, that sucks that you can't get an early gender scan. I'm still not sure whether we will get one but DH is so impatient so we probably will.

How is everyone else doing?

We had a lovely time seeing the little penguins. It was absolutely freezing as we were watching and waiting for them to come in but well worth it. We walked along the boardwalk and watched them walk along next to it. The girls loved it.

I have my obs appointment in 2 days. Looking forward to seeing baby again :)

[WashingtonPromise]

Okay, I thought for sure ELP would be posting a baby pic by now, not a belly pic.

Quick labor story:
Woke Sunday morning with some sharp pains, which seemed to grow as I got up and walked around! Rang hospital and MIL for a lift to hospital. MIL arrived, 11am, everything had completely stopped!! Very embarassing! Then my brother arrived randomly who lives just past the hospital so MIL was allowed home:) Decided to go to my bro's for a cup of tea as my head was spinning at home, and luckily over the next hours things got steady again:agree: He dropped me in about 1pm, met the midwife lovely lady, started G&A at about 2pm with the chart hits in the background and bouncing on the birth ball lol!! All went to plan but still wouldn't wish it on an enemy!!!! And he came out with grade 2 mec in his bag so we had to stay in overnight for obs where his heart dipped a bit but picked back up again so that we was allowed home at about 12 noon today:) Spent the afternoon in bed with all the kids lol, with the curtains shut and door locked!!!

My friends joke that I get PPE instead of PPD... post-partum euphoria :) I really do get ridiculously happy after the birth of a child, even this little GD bundle. I get so overwhelmed at how lucky I am to have a healthy baby that I can't wipe the smile off my face. I was worried I wouldn't feel that way this time but I totally do... healthy little babies are just awesome. Yes I still wish for a DS but I'm grateful for another precious person in our family.

That said, I'm wondering if there's a boarding school for preschoolers? :rofl: DD2 is an animal :)

[begonia]

Oh Bec!! I just read back and saw your update. Massive hugs hun. I am so sorry.

[auroara78]

Bec, I know you'll be away on the forums for a while, but sooo sorry to hear this :(

ELP, or shall I start calling you, NLP?? hehe your son is adorable and precious and give him lots of hugs and kisses! Can't wait till sept comes until I meet my new little baby!

Begonia, I totally get that! When I first met DS1, I think it was the happiest days of my life, I could not believe I had brought this handsome lil fellow into the world, and I was just so awed by him, by his bald fine covering of blonde hair to his dimples, to his chunky little feet....a brand new baby is supreme :0

[Hobbermittens]

Hi everyone. I just got a call from the Dr. about my 12 wk screening, and they said things are good. THe risk for Trisomy18 was something like 1:3000, and the risk for downs was 1:120 (which is good for my age).

I saw what I think was a girl nub at the scan, which really has me down. We were supposed to be team green, so I didn't get a nub shot to post. I am trying to come to terms with having yet another daughter. :(

[Foxy]

Bec - I'm so very sorry for your loss, hun. xx

[Foxy]

Hobbermittens - I'm glad that everything is looking good with your little one, hun. I wouldn't rule out a boy just yet. I was so sure I saw a girl nub with my son. I actually called up my DH and told him we were having a girl. I was so surprised when the doctor told me it was a boy. xx

I really hope this is the case for me! I can't imagine what an awesome feeling that would be.:awe::awe:

Did you find out he was a boy at birth?

[TTC5]

Glad results are good Hobbers x

[Foxy]

I really hope this is the case for me! I can't imagine what an awesome feeling that would be.:awe::awe:

Did you find out he was a boy at birth?

No. I had a CVS and they asked me if I would like to know the gender when the results came back. I have tried team green before and it made my GD worse in a way, because I actually had hope that it could be a boy. I'm crossing everything I can for you Hobbemittens! :heart:

[begonia]

Hobber I'm so glad that bean is looking healthy! FWIW I would NOT trust your nub view; I mean ... you saw what you saw, but really, you were early on right? Also I just worry that your fear might have biased you to see "girl" because you were so nervous about it. Maybe you're right, but there's also a very big MAYBE that you're wrong. FX that there's a little man growing away in there :)

FWIW I so badly wanted to be team green but like you I was just miserable over the not knowing, because I was sure it was a girl and I was crying anyway so ... I figured at least if I was going to be upset about it, I might as well know FOR SURE that it was DD3. Not saying you shouldn't stay team green though. My GD was really, really bad right before her delivery and I was wishing I didn't know, because I was so worried that it was going to ruin the L&D experience for me.

Anyhow ... FX you hear it's a boy whenever you do find out for sure. GD is a nightmare and I'd hate to see you have to go through it again :hugs:

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks Begonia. I can only hope that if it is a girl, I can be as happy as you in the end... your update about your baby girl and how happy you are after her birth really made my day.

I know swaying isn't 100%. I knew that going into it. But I had this stupid false sense of security going into it, since I had one son already... I guess there is a chance there could be a boy in there, but I think assuming it is a girl is really the best plan for me. If I get my hopes up, and it really is a girl, then I will just feel worse at the birth.

[Hobbermittens]

No. I had a CVS and they asked me if I would like to know the gender when the results came back. I have tried team green before and it made my GD worse in a way, because I actually had hope that it could be a boy. I'm crossing everything I can for you Hobbemittens! :heart:

Thanks Foxy. I know what you mean about getting your hopes up. That's why I am assuming girl. I wish I didn't have a preference! I hate not being able to just enjoy being pregnant and loving this little baby growing in me just as a BABY, not as a possible disappointment. :(

Yep this is where I am now despite 100% boy guesses on every forum i go I am still thinking it can't be a boy and it must be a girl!

[Flava]

hobber-your scan was early so the nub is not even good to guess on.I wish you get a nub pic for us at least that was everyone could see it. Now it's just you think you saw a girl nub.

[WashingtonPromise]

Hobber: Even if you seen a boy nub you would still wonder if it was a girl. Until I seen the goods I was still very sure that I was preggo with a girl.

ELP: I am always super happy after with a new baby too. I think new life is just so fascinating. We have chicks hatching on the farm and I am always so amazed. And growing a baby is just that much more fun.

Flava: When is your first appt? Maybe 3 more wks?



Another busy weekend, DH is taking half the children fishing and I am taking the younger half to finish up clothes shopping for them .....I hope. Thank goodness my mother loves to shop, but I know by the end of the day I am going to be pooped. And I looked at my ticker and realized I have less than 90 days until my due date!!!! That seems so short, but June seems so far away.

[LolaInLove]

Hey guys! Look at all of your getting up there and close to your due dates! I hope you all are doing ok.

Hobbs, I totally agree with everyone, don't get down yet. Are you still not finding out?

[Flava]

wp- i think you do to much. No clue when i have appointment Im waiting for the insurance right now. Then I can call and make one.

[Flava]

Any good tips for m/s ? Tell me! I don't have it so bad so can't complain much but sure this is already enough to make me so grumpy.
And the cm omg...I though this will be a nice time with no tampon worries ect. But I have so much cm Im always wet and it's just getting more I have to buy panty liners now.hate this...

[Foxy]

I used vitamin B6, 50 mg daily. Ginger tea can sometimes make you feel better.

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. :)

Flava, the thing that has helped my m/s is to not let myself get hungry, as well as snacking on salty/sugary stuff. Jelly Bellies help a lot, and sour patch kids! And salty chips.

[Flava]

B6 don't help me so I will stop taking it. Im going to try the candy next!

[skrimpy]

He is so cute ELP, congrats

Hobber, I'm so glad to hear that everything is going well with your little baby.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies,

I had an MRI scan a few days ago ..which unfortunately showed that my Placenta is still low. Doctors begin to worry about placenta accreta. I'm so very very scared ..She said that the placenta it 'MAY' still move up that's when the baby gets little bigger :(

[TTC5]

MFC hope everything is ok?

[My Fabulous Children]

5' I really hope everything will be okay :(

[TTC5]

I'm sure it will be xxxxxxxxxxx

[Flava]

girlmom- hope everything will be ok and baby stay inside!

Bec-I hope you will be back soon!

[Flava]

fab- hope the placenta will move up .Don't be so scared you just need to take it easy. You will have a c/s anyway , right?

[Hobbermittens]

Oh no! I hope the Dr's can keep him in for a while longer! I will be sending PT your way.

[Hobbermittens]

We are all here for you, Bec!

[DoulaMama]

mfc- I'm a doula and have seen this once(it's very rare). My client had an anterior placenta with placement over the scar. She had no bleeding with it and it was slightly covering the cervix. Her midwife was awesome and positive about it being fine(in 2000 deliveries- many vbac's- she had NEVER seen an accreta). Her placenta did not move until 39 weeks!! It shifted one inch. And then by 40 weeks it moved a teeny bit more- enough for her VBAC attempt. She laboured for 20 hours, pushed for 3 and had her baby:) Her placenta plopped into a bowl beneath her about 10 mins after the birth:) No issues whatsoever.

You should know that anterior placentas move slower up the uterine wall than posterior ones plus they tend to move much more near the end of the pregnancy. To be freaking you out this early...it's not good for you:( They shouldn't even be looking for accreta as it tends to not show up even with an MRI unless it's very bad(which is VERY rare). They should monitor movement but not until your uterus is filled with baby-beyond 35w. Try not to worry so much. Many women gave anterior placentas over top of scars and they don't have a single problem.
The one thing to try is visualization of the placenta- imagine it moving up the uterus:) Plus there's a homeopathic for it as well- I'll see if I can find the name. Do not take vitamin e- it's causes sticky placenta.
Big hugs to you~ I'm sure that your placenta will move and everything will be fine:) xo

[Hobbermittens]

MFC, I hope the placenta moved up!

Praying for you and your little guy, hun! Hope he stays put for now! Keep us posted! x

[girlmom]

thank youe everyone, good news is im still pregnant. i was checked last night and still at 3cm. so no change is good. i did not like the new on-call doctor. she was very rude and said i would be lucky and it would be a blessing if my baby died because right now he is facing a lifetime of mental issues and challenges. of course i know this but to remind me just made it worse. so i went hysterical an she asked me if i was trying to bring on labor??? good news is i told her not to come back and i wanted the other doctor. everyday is a milestone! trying to stay positive.

[ELP]

Girlmom, I'm praying hard for you and your little man, if theres was anything else I could do believe I would, hopefully your original Dr will be back soon to take better care of you both xxx

[ELP]

MFC, what a nightmare! I have no knowledge of placenta's but I'm sure that DM's advice above is spot on and the Dr's are just throwing wild possibilities into the air atm:agree:

[ELP]

Bec, its hard where you are atm, I know:( But we are around on here if you want to talk about it, usually people irl don't like to bring things up as they don't want to make things worse or upset you but on here your allowed to not have to be brave all the time, hope that makes sense:hugs:

omg thats awful, I can't believe she would say something like that!! sending you lots of hugs and prayers and hoping your little man stays put!! take care and lets lots of bedrest! xx

[TTC5]

Girlmom glad bubby is still in there, every day is a blessing hey. As for that dr my god how rude, glad you told her where to go!

[Tink18]

omg Girlmom def thinking of you! And that lady sounds terrible!! Keeping fingers and legs crossed that everything works out!

I am just cruising along will be 30 weeks on Sunday! time is not flying by, we are so ready for Zane to be here. I feel pretty good though and still sleeping pretty good, that is about it! LOL

[TTC5]

30 weeks already Tink, crazy!!!!!

Girlmom how are you and bubby?

[Plum3]

Thankyou so much! It does make sense. Only my DH, parents, my sister and best friend know what happened. They are the only ones who knew I was pregnant. People know we are TTC which makes it hard because alot of people actually thought I was pregnant when I was. Anyway, life goes on. And I know I will be ok, it might just take a bit of time. Thankyou again :)

And thankyou to everyone else for your lovely words. They really do mean a lot to me.

[Plum3]

Girlmom, I am so happy to hear that baby has stayed put. What a rude, ignorant doctor. I can't believe some health professionals have such a poor bedside manner. Disgraceful. Anyway, I hope your little one stays put for alot longer!

[WashingtonPromise]

Girlmom: We started praying for you last night. DH was praying for the "girl mom on the internet", but God knows who we are talking about...lol.

Lola: HI!!!

Tink: 30 wks...wow. It always seems to fly when you have less than 10 wks to go.



Pregnancy is so full of waiting, not only for the baby, but for docs and insurance co....etc.


Not much going on this week. I do have a doc appt on Thursday.....let's see how big I am measuring....lol.
