Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[meeks32]

OMG TTCPink I am soooo happy for you!!! YAY!!! That is an awesome sway and no matter what, after waiting for this long you will be so happy. I just know you've got a girl in there though

Yes Emily, one more month! I went to l&d with contractions yesterday and they gave me IV fluids and something to stop the contractions (I can't remember what it was called and it sounded hard to spell haha) Anyway I got scolded for being dehydrated ... lol... and my fluid level (AFI) was at 8, which is the very bottom of acceptable. They are really trying to keep him in till at least 37 weeks because they think he's on the small side.Both DS1 and DS2 were only 6 lbs each so I wasn't expecting a huge baby anyway...

Firstly, lol at the hard to spell line.

Secondly, sorry that happened! But I'm going to scald you too, BAD BAD BAD drink more water. Ok i'm done, you know why I wanted to do that? Because I did the exact same thing the last two pregnancies and after complaining of frequent and prolonged braxton hicks contractions from 25+ weeks both times, my doctor checked my fluid levels and I had the same issue. Apparently this can actually set you into labour.

Thirdly, you MADE IT TO 34 WEEKS HON! Well done. Any time from here on out is a bonus, really, and babies born after this gestation have very very good changes and good health. Sure it's best to keep them in as long as possible, but I am confident whatever happens from here, that you will have a lovely healthy baby, and I EXPECT PHOTOS on fb so I can get all swoony and clucky and wish I didn't have 13 weeks to go!

Yes drink more! I am sipping water as i type this as reading about you made me think about how little i was drinking. It always seems that when you have two loud mouths to fill it is easier to take care of them and never get round to yourself. I need some of those hamster water feeders to strap up around the house for a hands free drink!

AFM am doing well and getting very excited - i fly in 3 weeks' time A friend asked me "when are you .....?" Pointing at my tummy so i said 3 weeks and she admired my bump until we both realised that she meant how long till the birth not the flight LOL!

Thanks so much, Meeks!! You have been such an amazing friend and support to me on here. We are absolutely over the moon!! I am already so in love with this baby. I will always have a special appreciation for this little bub, our third and last baby, that I thought may never be after taking such a long time to get to this point. Xxx

For those that don't follow the other thread, the spotting stopped and I took a digi last night which read "Pregnant." It was such a relief to see it in words! I feel like everything is going to be OK now.

I raise you a:
I kept my tests, in a zip lock bag!!!!!! Still have them. CRAZY WOMAN

LOL! Me too!!!

[thehappypixi]

Ewww hahaha!

LOL @ the scolding! Don't worry, I'm getting it from all sides so it's nothing new haha... I thought I had been drinking enough but I think my caffeine intake cancels some of that out! LOL... not that I'm drinking massive amounts of coffee, but I manage a good cup in the morning and one late afternoon to get me through the evening... I could just sleep the day away at this point, honestly! Had a Dr appt yesterday (I'm going once a week there and twice to the hospital for non stress tests) and baby seems to be growing nicely still so that's good

Meeks you are so right about getting past the danger zone... I know all would be fine from here but I don't want to risk a nicu stay... the thought of leaving my brand new baby in the hospital is terrifying!

P.S- I totally kept my bfp tests too!!!! Haha... so maybe we aren't all crazy lol

Pumpkin, good luck for your scan today. Will be thinking of you and hope that all will be as it should be with your mini-pumpkin/s. What time is your scan?

OMG we are having twins!!! I am shaking as I am writing this! We have seen two beautiful strong heartbeats . I am happy beyond words! I would love to post a pic but DH was so excited he was holding it for me and forgot to give it back. He is at work now and will be back late so I'll post one tomorrow. Just like the last time it was hard to get them both on one pic because one of them is still hiding. DH and I can't stop smiling we are so over the moon!!! Thanks ladies for your support!
