Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Congrats to all the new mommies and good luck to the other mommies!

Cant believe our Jan/Feb thread has all its babas now and its your turns! Originally I thought I was due in March and followed this thread very closely in August last year.

THinking of you all!

Hi ladies

I'm really getting fed up with this pain. I wish it would just disappear!!! Seriously!!!

so today is birth plan day I know...i say that every day but it really is the day!! EmsMom please do email me yours to make sure I havent forgotten anything. I actually printed about 4-5 different birth plans and have circled all the points that interest me so it's just a matter of actually putting those together and printing!
I also want to clean the house as I put it off every day and soon baby will be here and I'll regret not cleaning beforehand. so that must be done.

Was so annoyed with DH last night. After having our heart to heart and him saying he'll be coming home earlier to spend time with me and baby, he smsed at 8pm to say he'll be late...coming home at 8:30pm. well if he's not home at 8pm I already know he's gonna be late.....and dinner was ready at 7. by the time we ate the dinner wasnt even nice anymore. I then said "oh I thought you were going to try come back earlier" and he said "ya but actually it's too difficult". so ya. guess he wont be making any efforts to come home to see the baby.

Karin - she is probably sneezing a lot and mucousy because of not having the mucous secretions removed during birth. usually from a natural birth when they pass through the birth canal their lungs get squashed and it pushes out most of that mucous. so caesarean babies are usually more snotty so I wouldnt worry about allergies

Faw - goodness....What a labour!!!!! you must be exhausted and wishing they would just do the bloody caesar already. hang in there friend xx

Ameera - none of us have gestational diabetes. but we can support you anyway so glad that they picked it up this time as I am sure you had it last pregnancy and it went unnoticed. did they say if the baby is big or not?

Schatsie and Lucy - those support belts are fantastic. I suffered so badly with lower back pain from about 6-20 weeks and wore the brace. (well only at home!) but it really did help. That and seeing a chiropractor and have hardly had back pain since.

Schatsie how cool that you get the parking space!!! finally!!

Lucy really hope you hang in there until your appointment tomorrow! quite exciting to see what the doctor says!!!!!!!

Rakker - yip try find a dark face cloth - think it will be handy. pity you not here as I had to buy a pack of 8!!! definitely dont need that many!

oohh I cant scroll down anymore...
bettyF I know you posted and I think MistyMom too...but I cant remember what you wrote something about nursing bra's - hope you find some!

Hallo ladies
Typing from BB, will try laptop at later stage for better updates.
Have Kiana on lap, in arms or in bed next to me all the time basically. Lol. Enjoying her SO much. She is such a sweety pie. Drink well, sleep well and hardly ever cries. My heart is over flowing every day.
Will post birth photos later too, hubby took few nice ones.
She's just struggling with mucous nose and sneezing a lot, hope she doesn't have allergies.

Faw! Wow...thinking of u.

Sorry ladies will try getting more updated later again. Princess waking up.

Thinking of u all!!

Oh no, poor Faw is still not progressing so they're taking her to GS hospital. Apparently they're going to try inducing her first before doing a C sec. She is sounding very tired and miserable - says she just wishes they will put her out of her misery now!

I really feel for her, poor girl and she is so tiny, so this must be super hard for her!!

Thanks for the welcome back joli. And to schatsie. its good to be back. Congrats to all the mommies who have had their babies. Its a girl this time. That's wat the scan shows. iv been diagnosed with diabetes and put on insulin. So we still have to decide if its gonna be natural or c section. I would really like a normal natural birth this time. But if its better for the baby then I guess a csec would be better. I'm 34 weeks now. Is there any other ladies with gestational diabetes.

Lucy, the belt looks a lot like this one on Amazon:

I'll see how I feel tonight after a day at the office, but it really does seem to help both for the pelvis and back pains! The dr said the idea was justo keep the symphasis pubis bones together, because them separating when you move is the cause of the bad pain.

I finally got some good news re parking: my boss is having car problems and decided to take the train for a few months, so I asked her if I can use her bay and she said yes. So jippee, from tomorrow I have parking!!

I'm off to a pedi - we have people who do it here in our office building. SO looking forward to it since I normally have one at least once a month, but haven't had one since Dec and feel like my feet look HORRIBLE since I can't really reach them to do anything myself.
