Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

[Cinss]

Bimby the reason i asked about your CS was in case it was PP. I would have said don't drink RL tea if it was that, but in your case i think it is fine and will help with your recovery which ever way you deliver and help with milk supply too. Double check with your midwife, but i have seen other ladies posting about having CS and drinking the tea, and some women drink the tea and then end up having emergency CS with no issues.

Wow some crazy accidents happened... I think the lesson we can learn from this is to get DH to do the laundry while we protect our babies lol Last weekend DD2 screamed out and was crying from her room, upon investigation DD1 told us that DD3 had pushed DD2 from the top bunk... i find it hard to believe that a 3 year old can push a 6 year old off, so it still remains a mystery as to how it all happened?!?

On another note, March is a few days away. Our thread is up at bat ladies!!!! Our babies are next. Holy cow that went quick.

I was thinking the same think when I came on here earlier.

Hi ladies!!

I have been Mia and haven't really been online much. I've been so busy trying to get things ready for the baby I have no time anymore and it seems like nothing is done. Sigh! I've been doing ok. Belly getting bigger and I'm having a hard time sleeping on my sides... Feels like my belly is a pressure cooker and ready to pop.

Hope everyone is doing well... Can't believe our baby's will be here SOON!!! Yay!!

[Winngrin]

Thanks so much for the kind words 3m! I'm feeling pretty good, just a little over 5 weeks until my cerclage is removed. I'm pretty nervous.

Our puppy is both wonderful and a holy terror. Some of the trouble she gets into is astounding and shouldn't be physically possible for a pup with 3 inch legs! Just this evening she jumped up and pulled on the towel by the sink where dishes were drying. She pulled down and shattered the coffee pot. She's rotten!!

I hope you are feeling well, not too long, which is pretty crazy. Have you had a growth scan yet?

Aww Winn that must have been horrible for u to see I'm glad your son is ok though and please don't blame yourself unfortunately accidents happens there's nothing you could have done, big hugs!

Well I'm still pregnant I have 4days till I'm due and have come down with a horrible cold and an extremely sore blocked ear I can not hear a thing feeling very sorry for myself I also think the boys are now coming down with it..perfect timing grrr!
We done a cast of my belly on the wkend my plan is to get the boys to decorate it with their hands ect then when she's born I will add her name, date & weight! We had a lovely wkend fx are last as a foursome we took the boys to the cinema to see wreck it ralph which they loved then went out for a burger, was so nice spending a day together!

Xx

[Bimby]

Oh Winni, how awful for you love but please dont be too hard on yourself. These things happen to us all, it wasnt your fault. I had a situation when DS1 was 3 and he sat on top of our bed, thing was the bed was up as we have a storage compartment underneath (not sure what you call those beds lol) anyway he was quite high up so I said to be very careful and dont move (silly me!) well of course some how or other he fell off from that height onto the bedside table and the bedside table broke under his fall, I felt absolutely awful! He was fine, nothing more than a scare for him but I felt like the worst mother knowingly leaving him in a dangerous situation thinking I knew how trustworthy my 3y/o was.. lesson learned there lol Anyway we all have things happen no matter how careful we are with them xx

HBP, Im sorry to hear you are feeling unwell hun, that plain sucks!! I hope its minor and passes really quickly for you so you are in full health when Willow arrives. Im glad you were able to have a nice weekend with your boys, it sounds like everyone really enjoyed themselves. Now its time for you to chill and get yourself well for baby Willow's entrance to the world Very excited for you xx

Cinss I'll ask at my next appt, thanks for that Had my Ob appt today and forgot to ask about it. Got my glucose results and thats all good, Iron not so good so need to start that and my Vitamin D is still low, I just dont know what to do there as I get migraines from the tablets so I havent been taking them. Ive been trying to get sun as much as possible without being careless but obviously it isnt working as much..

Baby girl had her head down and squished against my uterus so we couldnt get any good pics today Good news is she isnt measuring big like I thought - in fact she is a few days behind (although that was only one measurement of her abdomen) so that was interesting considering my uterus is measuring 4 weeks ahead!! I think she has long legs though and like suspected she is sitting quite high so I think that is why Im measuring and feeling super huge this time. I have quite a bit of fluid too so that is another reason I think. Anyway aside from my iron and vitamin D everything seems great. My Ob said I could leave my next appt for another 4 weeks if I wanted but I want the 3 week appts so ignored that one lol Next appt is the 19th March woohoo - countdown is on ladies its our turn in 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta add I got her to check there was definitely no penis as I have sooo much pink stuff now and she's still a girl lol , I might actually believe it soon lol

[Cinss]

I had my midwife appt today too, my iron and vit D were good but i failed the glucose test so i have to go and do it again on friday with fasting this time. I must admit i have been pretty careless with my diet and all my cravings have been for high fat and sugar things. Its funny now that i've been told to lay off cakes, lollies and soft drinks thats all i want!

[Bimby]

That's no good Cinss although Im sure you'll be ok with the next one hun. I think a lot of people tend to fail the first but pass the second. Ive been terrible with my diet so I was really worried about that test too. Did you fast for 2 hours before the first test?

Oh and its always the way, when someone says "dont do/eat it" thats all you want to do!! So how often are you seeing your midwife now??

Is 103/66 low for blood pressure?? I mean Ive always been pretty goodon the B/P side of things and Im usually 110/70 - just wondering whats considered too low when pregnant and what if anything it can mean?

[luckylass]

Had an appointment with consultant yesterday and baby is facing back to front so all good there and the head is fully engaged. Hoping not to have to wait too long but sure knowing this little lady she will be late.

HBP sounds like a lovely weekend and one to remember before your little lady arrives. Fingers crossed you and the boys shake whatever cold etc you have before Willow arrives.

Cinss hope you glucose test goes well on Friday. Mine was high once on ds2 but when they re-checked it all was grand.

[Bimby]

Oooooh LL so close now!! Bubs is all ready to rock and roll - I just cant wait for the coming weeks for you ladies - it's all seeming so real now

[Cinss]

No i didnt fast with the first one because it was in the afternoon, i cant remember what i ate before it though, it was probably coaco pops or something The next one is at 8.15 in the morning so i should be ok not to eat anything but i am worried about leaving the house without my morning coffee

Not sure about the blood pressure levels, mine was 90/55 so she asked me if i have been woozy which i haven't, she said its because of all the extra blood we have in our systems while pregnant. I am now on an every 3 week schedule until 39 weeks, then every week until 41.

She also mentioned that having an anterior placenta is not ideal because baby usually faces the placenta so we will need to flip him around for an easier labor, she told me to google "optimal fetal position exercises" and start doing some.

Oh and i have to have another U/S at 35 weeks to check placenta position because it was a bit low, she said oh bummer another U/S to pay for, i was thinking yippee i get to see baby again
