[NeedAGirl!]

Pinkin - yup, 3rd trimester u/s can be off by up to a kilo. (of course that is in either direction) It will be ok. October 9 is pretty soon! He can't get too much bigger!

Yeah, it stopped finally. It took a few hours but it was really awful. I can't tell if she flipped or not. I almost don't want to say yes in case I jinx myself. lol. DD flipped at 37 weeks and I had no idea. But i am feeling more movement at the yop of my uteus when its alwways been on my pubic bone until now...so who knows!

Pinkin~ With ALL of my babies they gave me an estimate in weight based off u/s and every time they over estimated by 1+ lb. Don't worry Hun!

Thanks heaps girls!
I have been very worried about it because he is a whole pound bigger then our first was at the exact same gestation!

Hi ladies,
Glad to read all is going well. I am traveling along really nicely. This pregnancy has been a lot easier than with DS2. Maybe because I know this may be my last I am just trying to enjoy it.
I am looking really big now. Measuring about 4 weeks ahead, so I am having an ultrasound next week to check his size. I am not too concerned about it, I measured big with both the other boys and they were born at 7lb 1oz and 6lb 8oz, so not exactly big. Apparently my womb just holds lots of fluid! Lovely.
This bub is nicely head down, bub wit DS2 he didn't turn until 34 weeks, so you ladies still have time on your hands. I did those pelvic tilt exercises and they worked for me last time. I am glad I don't have to do them again though!
I am still struggling with names too. I just haven't found a name I am really in love with. I have a short list, but hoping a name just pops out and hits me really soon!
I started the nursery too. It's not finished but is coming along nicely. I am really getting excited to meet this little man. The boys are super excited about having a brother, although my oldest keeps telling me he wants me to have a girl baby next time. It is in my head a little bit, trying to decide if I would go HT for a girl. I am definitely not going to conceive any more children naturally. I know it sounds awful but I don't want any more sons after this one. I don't have any lingering disappointment that this is a boy, I jus know I don't want another one if that makes sense. I figure I will just see how I feel in a few months to a year and go from there. I don't want to wish this baby away, this time is so precious.
Anyways, a long post (sorry!) but I haven't been on here much so figured I would update you all on what's been going on. Glad you are all doing well. Xx

Good to hear from you Baabaa! I am wondering how our twin mamas are doing? Pearl? Amari?

Thursday night I had a wicked case of B-Hs. I get them pretty often so they dont really worry me although overall they are stronger and longer this pregnancy. But on Thurs night, we were driving out of town (of course) and I started to get them literally every 3 minutes exactly. I could time them perfectly! They went on for about an hour but they weren't really painful. Started to freak me out a bit but then they slowed, to about every 10 minutes then every 15 and then stopped when we got to where we were going and I could lie down and rest. I don't know if it was the position in the car and my pants were a little tight or whatever but it was kinda freaky. Things have been calm since so dont know what that was about! Just have to stay pregnant for 5 more weeks to have a home birth!

Glad everything is going good baabaa

NeedAGirl I hate B-H's they freak me out, you sound like you had a really bad case of them, I'm glad they stopped for you. Do you normally go early with your babies?

[NeedAGirl!]

dloui - my first babe, I had a TON of B-H ctx that started around 20 weeks and I was sure I was going to have a preemie. But then of course, at 37 weeks I was like "bring em on!" and they stopped! I went into actual labor on my due date. With DS 2, I swear I started having B-H at 12 weeks and had quite a few all along but he was 8 days late!! However, I never had them really regular like they were the other night. Weird. I am hoping this gal comes a week or two early but who knows!

[dloui128]

I started having them at 12 weeks this time, I only ever had them the last month I was pregnant with the girls and they were two days late

I can't wait to get to the 30 week mark

PLEASE don't tell me that lots/early B/H are a sign of going overdue!!!! lol. I have been having them since 14 weeks with this one. If baby doesn't flip she'll be born a week early via c-section anyways but man, that would just be my luck if she flipped and I went overdue!!! ARG.

How is everyone feeling? I'm having alot of cramping so I am laying low at home today instead of goingto church. Need to hydrate more.

it better not be a sign of going overdue, I don't think I can handle going overdue. I have had a bad cold for a week now, it seems to be letting up some now but everyone who has had it says it lasted a month, ugh I was taking mucinex but it really didn't do anything. Hopefully you just need to drink lots of water and rest and the cramping will go away.
