| Jen, are you having a cesarean too? Tia, are you having any braxton hick contractions or twinges of pain? ↑ |
| Name: Tia | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:07 PM |
| Yes i'm having some twinges of pains at times what about you? ↑ |
| Name: Melissa | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:10 PM |
| Good for you Jen! it's just too hot for me to get on the beach. I'm swelling like a marshmellow in the microwave. lol. To tia, I'm kinda worried because of the weird twinges near my bottom accompanied by small contractions. think i should call the doc or is this normal? ↑ |
| Name: Tia | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:11 PM |
| Well i did call my dr and i have an appt tomorrow. So i think if it gets worse you should call your dr. ↑ |

| Tia; I went to the doc mon and found out that baby Emma is breech thus the cesarean. i mentioned it all to my doctor but she didn't seem alarmed its just that the contractions are getting a little stronger but they're still not regular. i'm just worried that i'm gonna go into labor before the 17th. my husband works out of town, so if i do go into labor before the 17th, he won't be able to make it home in time for the delivery ↑ |
| Name: Melissa | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:15 PM |
| plus i'm already a finger tip dialated ↑ |
| Name: Tia | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:24 PM |
My baby is also breech that's why i have to have a ceswrean too.
I hope and pray that your baby won't come early so your husband can be there too. If he's not there do you have a back up plan? ↑ |
| Name: Melissa | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:26 PM |
| Tia; If he can't make it I know my mother will be there, but it's still got me on edge. part of me wants to go before the 17th just to get it over with but the other wants him to be there. lol. What about your plan? ↑ |
| Name: Tia | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:33 PM |
| My husband and my doula will be by my side hopefully that's the plan anyway ↑ |
| Name: Melissa | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:34 PM |
| I hope everything goes well for you. keep me posted! ↑ |
| Name: Tia | Date: May 3rd, 2006 8:38 PM |
| yeah keep me posted too honey ↑ |

| Hi girls how are ya feelin? ↑ |
| Name: jenn | Date: May 4th, 2006 7:14 PM |
| sometimes i wish i was having a cesarian so i could know when she was coming, things are hectic here it would be kinda nice to have a plan. i feel like people think im like a ticking "time bomb" like i could go off at any time. its annoying! ↑ |
| Name: jenn | Date: May 6th, 2006 12:22 AM |
well everyone i am officially sucking. 38 weeks and today at my checkup im not even the least bit dialated or effaced and i thought i had dropped ( i look and feel like ive dropped ) but no not a bit... everyone had predicted that this baby would come early but now im thinking i will probly go on to my due date.... wow how much bigger can i get?????
i got a 3d ultrasound at like 7 and a half months and the baby was already a little chubster im scared she is going to be enormous but the doctor just said "oh youre a tall girl you can easilly have a 9 or 10 pound baby no problem" .. oh yaaaaaay. ↑ |

| Jenn, I feel so bad for you. It's tough not knowing when you'll go and thinking it will be sooner rather than later. I had lots of contractions and everyone thought I would go early too, even my Dr. mentioned it. I was induced overdue and did have a 10 lb. baby. Hopefully yours won't be so big, but don't worry, it can be done. Just keep walking and you'll be fine. Who knows, you could just go right into labor anytime! ↑ |

| I'm due on May 21, 2006. And I'm SO ready to give birth and have the pregnancy over. Not that I haven't enjoyed it, I have, but I'm getting anxious to get back to my normal weight and see my daughter! My finace and I are really excited. I noticed a big difference between the 8th and 9th month. My energy level is lower. My belly has grown a LOT in the last couple weeks. I get Braxton Hicks often and she's getting really cramped in there. But I know it'll be all worth it! ↑ |
| Name: jenn | Date: May 7th, 2006 12:32 AM |
| funny most days i have tons of energy, i walked like two miles today and (very slowly) jogged about a half a mile.... im so used to being pregnant its like im not anymore, its been soooo long im starting to think this baby will never come out.... honestly im starting to get freaked out about the sleep deprivation part.... it seems like it will never happen but i guess it will be sooner than later. ↑ |
| Name: Brandy | Date: May 7th, 2006 1:17 AM |
| Jenn I am in the same spot as you kinda. I am due on the 15th and I as well have not dropped. I however am at a 2 and 50% effaced but I have been that way for 3 weeks now! I never thought I could grow out of preggo clothes!!! This lady at wal-mart kinda struck a nerve when she told me my belly was hanging out.. I just looked at her and said "I could be wearing a tank top! THANKS!" Anyhow, I feel no signs of this baby coming on my due date. I sure hope it is soon. I guess Karma got to me when I was joking around and telling people "Watch, I will go over due" Should have never said that. ↑ |
| Name: jenn | Date: May 7th, 2006 3:38 PM |
i think karma got me too cause i was bragging.... oh, my due date is may 20th, but i am SO NOT going to go on that long, this baby will be here late april or very early may (all my family and anyone who looks at my belly seems to agree...) and here i am actually for the first time considering that yes, i could go on to my due date or even overdue.... like i said, my doctor seems to think i can handle a rather large baby because of my height.... yikes!
well i am off to my morning jog.... maybe her head will engage and things will get started. ↑ |
| Name: jenn | Date: May 7th, 2006 3:38 PM |
| oh and isnt the worst... "are you sure there is only one in there???" ↑ |
| Name: Melissa | Date: May 8th, 2006 2:03 AM |
| I'm so excited I can't get to sleep. I've got an ultrasound in the morning to see if she's still breech. I know she is, but i'm hoping I'm dialated more than a fingertip. I'm really hoping i'll be fully dialated and efaced so the doc will go ahead with the c section early. So much pressure today, i feel like she's dropped even more. A lot less movement today too. Cross your fingers for me! ↑ |
