September Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

[Hobbermittens]

I had a weird dream last night that I had my baby, but didn't get to see it. I was at home when the nurse came over, and I was thinking I would finally know the gender. She walked up to the door carrying a 4 month old baby girl, fully dressed in an outfit with tights, etc. The baby had a weird crazy long tooth hanging out the front of her mouth. Then someone else came up with a baby boy, the same age, also fully dressed in an outfit, and told me I had had twins. I was happy about that. And then another person walked up with a toddler boy and said he was mine too, and that he must have been in my tummy a LONG time, because he was so big. Like I had been pregnant already before getting pregnant with twins.

that's an odd dream, Hobbers!

well my headache is about done now, thank god, but I just realized that I've had bowel issues ever since the hosptial, and I don't know why? my other two delieveries I had locked bowels, not loose bowels...guess I'll need to start eating some yogurt.

DH finally helped out last nite, he was battling an ear and throat infection and the dr told him to avoid holding the baby until he had two days of antibiotics in him. Finally, yesterday he volunteered to take a night feeding (i'm bottle feeding) and that helped some and even got the boys this morning when they woke up. I got the early morning feed and after that she and I went back to bed, but the boys got up, and I was really grateful that he got them, but I am still soooo tired, even after a considerable amount of sleep (for having a newborn)

well, at least the headache is better, and she is such an awesomely easy little baby....she amazes me.

[Mochagirl]

Hobber - what a bizarre dream!

Auroara - I'm so glad the headache is disappearing, and that Lillian is an easy baby!

I think I've dropped even more today. My shirts are no longer capable of covering the bottom of my belly, and I have LOTS of pressure down below. I'm also getting lots of cramps on the bottom side of my belly and the occasional cramp in my back. I think things are starting to move along a little.

[Hobbermittens]

Auroara, I am glad things are getting a tad easier. Sorry about the poop issues, though. That sounds lousy. Hopefully a bit of yogurt will help.

Mocha, sounds like things are progressing!

[zanacal]

Mocha I'm unbelievably excited for you! FX for a wonderful birth. I can't wait to see the little lady!

Hey I was just wondering, is purplepoet still around? Sure I haven't seen her name pop up in ages.

[Mochagirl]

Z - yeah, good question. Where is purplepoet? I know some ladies decided to take a break from the site - was she one of them?

So...I'm really starting to wonder if Sadie might be gearing up to arrive tonight/tomorrow. All day I've had strong cramps down really low, very frequent bowel movements (sorry for the TMI), peeing every 5 minutes, and every once in a while a strong pain that takes my breath away. The pains are either in my lower back or (and again, sorry for the TMI) in my bum - very similar to the pains I had while in labour with ds3. Do you think this is just her burrowing lower into my pelvis, or is it something beginning to happen? I'm getting contractions, but with no regularity at all, and many of the sharp pains come when I first sit up and start moving around. I've only experienced labour once (since I was induced and given an epidural right away with my twins), so I still feel like a novice at this. With DS3 I think I did have loose bowels earlier that day, but the contractions came on suddenly and strong at 1am with no warning beforehand (and giving me no doubt I was in labour), and he was born at 10:30am.

And for the record, I think TTC5 guessed September 10th as my birth date. Let's see if she's right .

I had loose bowels the night before I went into labor with DD1, I had lots of cramps to and some contractions but nothing regular, my water ended up breaking so I didn't really have to time the contractions

[PeonyPrincess]

Mocha, that is sounding very promising!! All the best for things to go smoothly if this is indeed it. I have been induced with both of mine, so not much help on any labour symptoms. I do remember that as soon as I started getting the contractions I had to go to the loo a fair bit. Nature's way of cleaning you out I think, which can't be a bad thing!

Hobber, I have crazy dreams too. Always have really, but they are worse when I am pg. DH frequently gets taken by a crocodile and sometimes the crocodile drowns him and sometimes I can save him. And last week I dreamt that I had a baby boy and was completely fine with it until I realised it was a conspiracy and I had actually given birth to a girl, but they hadn't let me keep her!

Huge congrats mydream!

HappyLea, where are you? Haven't heard how you are going for what feels like ages.

[Hobbermittens]

Mocha, I hope this is it! I bet all of us will be going early-- seems to be the trend so far!
