Anyone been checked yet? I haven't been checked yet, wonder if my body has started doing anything yet.... Went to the hospital today and got pre registered. I also got a tour of the birthing unit. Have my 35 week check tomorrow, will see if I have started to put on weight again or if I am still the same. hopefully he can tell for sure what direction this little lady is! lol I think he will do my GB swab at 36 weeks, but I guess I could be wrong.
My boy #7 is here! Ashton arrived this Sunday October 20th, by csection. I had developed preeclampsia also I have diabetes ,and lots amniotic fluid. I was on hospital bed rest since Thursday last week. My Ob wasn't letting me go home till baby comes. We actually planned my repeat csection for Sunday afternoon but my baby had plans of his own! Water broke in the early morning hours ob did csection right away! He weighed 7lb 8oz,20inches. Born at 36weeks 1day. Since he came 36weeks he was considered premature. He had trouble day 1 with low sugar they actually transported him 45 min away to another hospital that have a nicu. He was sent back here with me at the hospital I had him at. I can't have him in my room but am allowed to breastfeed and see him in the special care nursery. I should be discharged tomorrow but not sure about baby. If he can't come home they say I should be able to stay at hospital with him. I will post pics as soon as I am able to. Oh I didn't get that tubal so maybe after 7 boys I may someday get that girl :)
6blue, congrats!!! SO exciting! I was just wondering which one of us would go first, and it's you! Sorry he had plans of his own and came a little early. I am sure he is being well taken care of. You get some rest! :) Yes, please post pics asap. He is a good size for 36 weeks. Yay!! So fun. And no tubal? You are brave... good for you.
Zem, I think I will get checked at my appt on Thurs. I have to go weekly now. My OB let me have week 36 off, but now it's the weekly grind. I got my swab and it came back positive. Surprised me as I was negative with my son. Have you ever tested positive?
Congratulations 6blue hope things continue to improve quickly and you can both come home soon. Enjoy the newborn snuggles.
I had my swab last appt probably get the results on Friday when I go. I've heard it can come and go Lizzie. They don't routinely check you here before labour unless they're inducing. In fact I'm not even sure I had a check with ds2 at all, maybe just one.
Wow! What a birth story! Sorry he came a little early but a big congrats!!!!
Lizzie - I tested positive with DS3. Not a big deal, just gave me antibiotics while I was in labour with him. It has to be administered at least 4 hours before baby is born I think.
YEAH the first baby!! So exciting, hope you both get to come home soon.
I have never tested positive for GB. BUT it can come and go, if you want ask them to retake the test in a week or 2 and it might come up neg.
That is what they said, it comes and goes and it not a big deal. I'm fine with it. I don't think they will test again.
Everyone is scaring me that this labor is going to go really fast?? What are yalls experiences after the first. My salesguy keeps telling me with his 2nd his wife's water broke and 2 hours later they had a baby?
One more thing! I am crazy and starting my christmas shopping today. I need to go downtown for some items and I decided just to knock it out. I want to make things easier on myself. I never have started this early. AM I crazy or did one of you all mention you were going to start shopping too?
My first two labours were 6 hours and my last two were 4.5 hours.
I have started Christmas shopping and I plan on gettin it all done before baby gets here!
Had my Dr visit today. Rozline is head down!! So one less thing to worry about. He decided that he wanted to check me, because of my irritable uterus. Just wanted to see where I was sitting. I am dilated to a 1 and 50 percent effaced. At least my body is doing something!! He said if I went into labor now they would not stop it.
My shortest labor was 6 hours my longest labor was with my first at around 9 hours. My sisters second labor was 4 hours LONGER then her first. Each labor is different, just like each pregnancy.
Haven't even begun to think of christmas stuff to be honest! lol Maybe should get on that one huh?
