Sept/Oct/November Roll call cont...

[coocoobananas]

I feel like getting another confirmation but don't as I don't want to know if it's wrong lol! So we shall just see
Although I'm on the homestretch it seems like an eternity away!!!

[Mamato3?]

Yes Peebell! I'm Always embarrassed to say I'm due mid October as I'm gigantic! But it's true, I'm only 5'2 and storing the same baby in a pretty short body! Lol
My last baby was 9lb 2 oz so....yah getting real over this now!!
Plus today I woke up and I have been gaining weight but def can see water retention in my face and my feet and hands are tight. Never had it this bad before but I've never been this pregnant in the heat of the summer either!!

Hi coocoo,
I had retention also when I was pregnant with my first DD and my gyno instructed my to stop adding salt in my food and also did some blood tests for uric acid, which was elevated and put me on a special diet.
Please watch out for this and consult your gyno, because sometimes this retention can be pre-symptom for pre-eclampsia.
At least that was what I was told by my gyno.
Wishing you well!!

OMG my life has been so ridiculously busy. Haven't been on here in awhile. MIL visited all last week, kids first day of 3rd grade and K was last week, DD first birthday was last week, and we finally sold and closed on a rental townhouse that we have been renting out last week. Crazy!! Glad that everyones pregnancies are going well. Here is a picture of DD and her cake Hard to believe she just turned one and I am going to have another one in 11 weeks!!

Beautiful cake and baby wanting!!
I'm in BC canada and the teachers are on strike so not even sure when my kids will go back the usual time is around sept 2 but we may go into October, kinda crazy and I'm kinda in denial!!

Thanks mamato3? It def comes and goes depending on what I do and the heat. I have really low bp so actually am told to add salt to my food as I get light headed and nauseated easier because of it! However, my sister did get HELLP syndrome with all 3 of her babies so I do keep a close eye on my bp as she also had very low bp so when it was higher than normal it went unnoticed as it would have still been in the normal range for someone with average bp... If that makes sense?!
Apparently I am at higher risk for getting HELLP being her sister but so far all my pregnancies have been fine

Question: anyone had dry skin on their belly? Today I literally have peely skin! I would think it was sun exposure as I did lounge in my sisters pool and one day it was belly up floating on water for a good hour (albeit with sunscreen) but that was over 2 weeks ago and my belly hasn't seen the light since then so I don't think it could be peeling from that?!?

Everyone seems to be having girls again.... there was a boy influx, but now it's back to girls.... I can't wait to meet my boy, but the sting of GD kicks in every now and then and makes me almost feel depressed. I feel awful about it.

[coocoobananas]

I understand Peebell
It just sucks all around! You know you'll love him but at the same time it seems unfair and like 'why not me?' But then you won't want him to be a girl when you meet him, it's so
Many conflicting emotions!!!!

[Mrs_Incredible]

I know that feeling so well peebell. It sucks. I've always been the one with only boys. It seemed so easy for all my friends. Huge hugs xx

[Peebell85]

Thanks ladies,

It is a weird conflict, I have never wished my boy to be a girl, he is just the best thing ever.., its just a stupid desire that I wish I could switch off. I dont really want to try for anymore kids....

[Peebell85]

Soery i pressed send too quickly. I dont want to keep trying for fear of having another boy and feeling more disappointment... Even though I know I'd adore him. Stupid emotions.

[sweetdream]

Peebell big hugs!!! I know how you feel! don't know what to say. Now I'm pg again ofcourse I'm hoping for a girl. but before i got pg and it looked at times there wasn't going to be another one i felt at peace that my beautiful fam stayed the way it was.
I'm sure in the near future when you can cuddle and love your sons that you will be at peace too.
but I really need to have the baby for feelings like that. that's why I'm staying team green this time.

good luck sweety
