Due December 2012! Christmas Babies!

[sweetsister]

I have heard people that have gestational diabetes have babies on the bigger side so get scans frequently to see how baby measures, so I'm sure if they think she is getting too big they will induce you

Ive heard that too,but i have had GD both times but my babies are always normal ,for sure not big!

So I think the war has been won over the nasty critters. No sign of them in several days... whew!

Is everyone feeling well? I am doing pretty good. I dont have another midwife appt for a week. I am little bit worried that this baby might have flipped. I didnt have any breech issues with my other two but about a week ago, I was sitting on the couch and I had this huge, painful stretching sensation like she was stretching me to her limit! Then there was a big shifting sensation and it stopped. Since then, I have been feeling a lot of fluttery movements down way low again by my cervix and a lot less pressure. During that 3D I had, her head was def down and she kept kicking herself in the face! So maybe I am just feeling fingers and occasional toes down there. Guess we'll see.

How is everyone doing on names? People keep asking me and while I think I know the name and I have not been thinking about other names, for some reason, I dont want to tell anyone. I keep saying we havent picked yet! Guess I don't want to hear any comments. I'll tell you guys though.. Lynnea Marie... (pronounced Lynn-A-ah)

I also havent told anyone my name choices yet either .they keep asking but my name choice i am sure no-one will like .i also just say havent chosen yet.I like your name choice i tend to like names not very common,yours is pretty

So I thought I pulled a muscle in my rib(left side) from all the coughing I was doing when I had bronchitis, but its been 2 weeks now and it is still really sore. How long does a pulled muscle normally take to feel better? Of course I had to google it and some women were saying their rib was out of place and had to go to the chiro, has anyone had this happen to them and what did you do?

Sounds pretty normal for it to still be sore dloui, espescially when you have a growing belly that it has to compete with.

Good to know you didn't have big babies sweetsister. How big were they? I really don't want a big baby...since its my last I want that tiny baby stage!

And I'm the same way. I don't think anyone will like my first choice for my baby's name. I know my MIL hates the name. Paired with our last name she think it sounds like a stripper name. I don't care though. I've been waiting to use this name since baby #1!

I know, it just seems like it should be getting a little better by now, but my huge belly is probably making it worse

I had GD with my last 2 babies and my boys were normal weight...ds1 was 7lb 12 oz and Ds2 was 7lb 13oz....

I would think the pain would be normal dloui....Hope you feel better soon!

I will be scheduled for my c section soon as well....I know it will be between Nov 18 - Nov 23 but not the exact date yet....I had an OB appointment last week and baby girl is measuring around 4lbs....average baby....I'm glad...

So I went to my GD class tonight. I didn't learn a ton that I didn't already know but a few good tips. I found out that I can have a LOT more carbs than I have been but plan on keeping them low since I've been feeling better since eating low carb. Not loving pricking my finger but no way to avoid it I guess. So overall feeling better about it.
