September 2013 babies!!

[WantingPink]

Ladies I am with you. Normally I am a bare groomer also but I have a hard time keeping things clean from about 28 weeks on. I feel like I could do more damage than good down there right now!! I might have DH clean things up right before the baby is born since it makes me feel cleaner in general and there is enough going on down there after the birth I am just glad to know there are other women who struggle with this during pregnancy!!

Funny timing, lol. I've been having Brazillians for years (but leave a strip); after the first few the hair gets weaker and it's not really painful at all. However I've done nothing for about 3 months and it's getting pretty scary so I've just booked a bikini wax for Friday, I don't know if I could lie there for a full wax. They're pretty understanding there so I might ask for a good trim of what's remaining.

WAG , has your baby turned? Mine is breech at 26 weeks which my OB says means nothing at this stage in a 4th pregnancy but I was looking forward to a normal delivery.

Yes he has turned super happy about it! He turned two weeks ago!which I'm guessing explains the feeling like somebody beat the crap out of my pubic bone... It's soooooo sore! And my hip is screwed up big time... I have to limp :s then there is my lower back pain that I had before but is just super intensified at the moment... 62 more days! How is everyone mentally preparing for pain of labor I'm having a hard time relaxing about it...and would like to get into some kind of good "zone"

I too have trouble with the full shave. I like to be as smooth as a babies bum but gosh it is a struggle lol. Ive found sitting on the side of the bath and doing it that way helps. I managed well last time I was preggs with DD1 but I must admit my bumps bigger this time.
I dont know if anyone else has had the same worries but I think this baby is a little bigger then shes supposed to be and past two visits to mw shes measured my belly and said im two weeks ahead, but when I look in my notes shes noted im ok and measuring normal.
I think shes shrugging it off because my first DD was 5lb 12. And she assumes I carry small babies? Maybe im being over cautious lol xx

You ladies sure put me to shame with how well you take care of your nether parts during pregnancy lol. Maybe I should try harder at keeping things more groomed!

WAG you are looking great still! Love the pjs, so darn cute. Glad baby Lennon has turned for you.

Mum- I've also heard that they can still turn pretty late especially the more babies you've had. FX the little guy flips for you soon!

Thorz- How are you feeling? Hope the bedrest is helping your pain.

My appointment with the perinatologist didn't go so well today. Cervix hasn't changed which is great but my polyhydraminos has gotten worse. Average fluid levels at this gestation is about a 14 and mine is 30. She also wants to refer me to a cardiologist because one of the veins leading to his heart is enlarged. She's unsure if there is a connection between these 2 conditions or if it's just random. The good news is that the enlarged vein could very well resolve on it's own so I'm trying not to worry but as you all know anytime you hear something isn't "normal" it's hard not to panic no matter the odds. In addition to this my FFN test today was positive. Basically today has kind of sucked and I'm not sure what to worry about more- the polyhydramnios, heart, or positive FFN ugh!

Southern are you dilated at all? Sorry if I missed it before... Placenta brain lmao


And what is FFN

[Southern Butterfly]

My cervix is holding out for now and hasn't really changed much in 2 weeks (still only about a fingertip/1cm and soft).

FFN is the fetal fibronectin test which tests for a protein near the cervix which is secreted before labor. A positive result means that my body could be preparing for labor. It certainly isn't a sure thing but I'm at increased risk of delivering within the next 10-14 days.

[Wanting-a-girl]

Oooooo okay I had that test a few weeks ago mine was negative... That is soooo scary! I hope he can hold off to August at least... He will be so small if he comes now... Are u on bed rest or anything? Red raspberry leaf tea is supposed to help prevent pre term labour I started drinking mine 3 days ago and have had a big decrease in contractions...
