Bluebooties am I right in remembering you were hoping to be induced at about 37 weeks? So will you be monitored for this placenta deficiency? Sounds pretty serious?! What d they do to monitor?

Makes sense Blue – every way of life has pros and cons, for sure…
I know it definitely is stressful having to juggle work/kids/no family/hubby that has a very demanding job (not that he gets paid well for it alas – that’s not for profit for ya!)- you can’t ever win regardless of the situation I just hope for your sake that things go as smoothly as they possibly can – you deserve a break!
Oh just saw that the placenta is playing up – is it calcifying? I know that it means bub struggles growing as the exchanges between mum and bub aren’t as good – so guess they will need to monitor you closely to see that growth isn’t stopping altogether - hope you see your OB soon, so you know where to go from here!! You’re only 32 weeks now right?

PBN – I do think mind over body does work to a certain extent so if you have your mind set on the 10th, as that is your section planned date – am sure this munchkin will wait - or let’s hope so :P
It’s stupid but I like the idea of the 8th of March – which is too early as would be barely 37 weeks – so I do hope she arrives after also so my mum can join us (hope she can), as with my history of fast labours am freaking out at the idea of having to leave the house in a hurry in the middle of the night with no one to care for the girls – having to leave hubby with them and me alone in an ambulance lol so have decided to think positive thoughts – she will be born on a Friday or Saturday night (so hubby can be there, and not have to be at work the next day) once my mum arrives only… let’s hope she listens! lol

I was just hoping for a set induction date so i can arrange time off didn't matter when but now based on if this insufficiency keeps going the earliest safest for baby to be out is 37 weeks.

I go twice weekly for follow ups. Not much to do other than deliver baby when they feel baby is better off out then in.

LMSM - I love Caroline and Charlotte but DH doesn't. He is pretty set on Zoe so that is the top contender right now. I even did letters for the wall but I still feel unsure. Still no middle name yet though. I'd like something longer since Zoe is so short. I love Serena and Sierra! (but not to go with Zoe). Names are so hard. I'm glad you're feeling better! I could never grasp why men get so unmanly during sicknesses. And it's pretty cold here so I'd trade you if I could. We just had about 4 inches of snow on Saturday.

Dancing - do you feel ready? I'm not yet and I keep saying I have time but I know a day will come when that's a lie.

Bluebooties - I'm glad baby cooperated for you but sorry to hear about your round of antibiotics. Your work schedule sounds intense but I would enjoy those days off since I only have Sat and Sun off and it goes too quick. Our maternity leave isn't much here. I get 6 weeks off at 50-60% of my pay and then nothing and this is a privilege I pay for. And we only get 3 paid sick days and 5 vacation days a year and my year is up in March so I used 2 days before I got pregnant. I wasn't going to come back to work but my ex husband lost his job 4 months ago so my child support for my older 2 stopped completely about 3 months ago and he's not interested in finding work. I planned on going part time after baby came but now that won't happen unless he goes back to work before I go on leave.

4blue2pink - I've been nauseous for about 3 weeks now. It comes and goes. I threw up about a week ago but not since.

PBN - I started to reorganize last week and lost steam and now everything sits half done haha. And I never really had a dark line with either of my kids (all girls so I have nothing to compare it to).

I had my test done Friday but no results yet. I'm just going to wait until my next doctor's appointment which is next Monday unless they call sooner.

kat the pain is spd its not fun

bluebooties thats worrying about your placenta but if it means you get a scheduled induction then i can see how that works out better for you with time off etc, fingers crossed baby can stay put until at least 37 weeks

mommaxo3 Sierra is on my list for this baby if its a girl i went to school with a girl called Serena its a very pretty name!! fingers crossed your results come back negative for GD

38 weeks this week.. where are the weeks going?! its going by so fast :-/

Hi ladies,

That's no good blue about your.placenta. They'll obviously monitor it closely.
Funny you guys mentioned the linea nigra because my mum and I were talking about it the other day. I had a.super dark long one with dark areolas with DD and super sore and large boobs at the end. This time the tiniest hint of a line and my.nipples are only just a brown tinge and I still haven't gone up a cup size since like 14 weeks. Mum was like how bizarre you don't have it this time. Also with reflux and heartburn I had it terribly with my DD (gallbladder attacks and everything) and she came out with soooooo much hair. This time maybe a tiny bit of heartburn here and there but not really.

I really wouldn’t read too much into those symptoms, ladies. This pregnancy was completely different than my other girl pregnancies and much more like my boy. Almost no boob growth throughout the pregnancy, low baby heart rate, no sickness, etc. It was still a girl.

Oh I bet this one will also be a girl for me no doubt. It's just funny how every pregnancy can be so different.

[Bluebooties]

Yes very true each pregnancy is different and these symptoms mean nothing at all. My DD3 and my only sway was 360 degree opposite to my DD1 and DD2's pregnancies which were both alike and that gave me this hope that maybe my sway had worked but nope it was still a girl.

Had my weekly NST and thankfully baby cooperated.
