Another Week! January 28th-Weekly Check-In

[Lance06]

I know Gina normally posts this, but it looks like our last weekly check in was over a week ago, so I figured I would post just incase little Caiden decided to join the world and she wont be on! That would be pretty cool?!!

So, how is everyone feeling? At this point, some of us already have our little one's in our arms...and many of us are very anxiously awaiting to see when ours will come!! Update everyone ladies...and let us know how you are doing!!!

For me....I am sick of the tests...sick of the NST tests 2-3 times a week...sick of the bloodwork every week...and all of the damn appts, 2x a week, sometimes more. Im really mad that they mentioned induction to me for next week..and then having another one of the doctors say no....I was diagnosed with minor preeclampsia.....and thats why they were going to induce...so the midwife that told me we should induce is going to talk to the office to see if we can still induce next week like she thinks we should. I have a doctors appointment on Friday and I am hoping to have more information on whether it will happen or not!! I just want to know already. Besides that, DH and I are actively trying to get this baby out ourselves...having sex and such..even though its so uncomfortable....this may be a little TMI but the worst is when I get a BH contraction and my stomach balls all up.....in the middle of it..makes it quite uncomfortable because its like he cant even put any pressure on me....and all he says is...maybe we shouldnt be doing this. I assure him that its okay and its not going to hurt anything.
They did an internal at the hospital yesterday and no change. She says I am still the same, about 1+ and 80% so nothing is happening. SHe also says that when touched the baby's head moves...so does that mean she can actually feel the babys head??? Weird.

Anyways, how is everyone else doing???

Hang in there little mothers.  The last month is always the hardest.  It seems like God gets mothers ready for no sleep, in the last month....getting us ready for staying up all night with the baby.  Nursing or bottle feeding every few hours and changing diapers.  That's what I told my husband in the last month of both of my pregnancy's.  I felt like a beached whale.  I couldn't lay down and be comfortable.  I had heartburn from you know where, I peed constantly, I was constipated and I threw up the whole last month.

I know for sure that men could never carry a baby.....

Hang in there ladies.  You all know it's worth it in the end.  God bless all of you and your precious little ones.

I just got back from my doctor's appointment...

I knew I wasn't going to get an internal since my doctor is out of town for 10 days.  But I got him to give me a guess of the baby's weight...

8 pounds 10 ounces right now!!  

I'm so freaking nervous that he's letting me go all the way and not inducing me.  I brought up my birth of my son and told him he was only 8lbs6ozs and hoping I don't need to go through that again.  He told me he can't predict anything until the time comes, but I'm leaning toward a freaking c-section from the way he's talking...He told me that he thinks I'll go this week, but to try to hold on until he gets back from vacation...OMG so I'm nervous if I do go these last couple weeks.  Hopefully it's actually smaller then he's thinking, but I know it's a big baby....

Lastnight and all today I've been having this horrible cramping and painful feeling in my left hip.  I'm not sure if it's from coughing and blowing my nose, but it's horrible.  I'm having a hard time breathing and gasping for air because of the phlem.  Not fun!!  I just want this cold gone before I deliver....

I can't wait to meet my baby and to see what I'm actually having.  Then I can go out and do some shopping and get the nursey going :)  

Only a few days/weeks for us girls and hoping we're all doing well....Good luck to you all and hoping I go SOON!!  DARN!! :)

Ladies your all so lucky your toward the end. I am 36wks and 2days. My C-section is on Feb 23rd. I had an Appt. Monday and as usuall she shrugged off all my concerns, the pressure the constant BH, She did not check me. She said since i deliver via c-section she will see me every 2wks and not every week. Very frustrated i even told her i want an amnio at 38weeks to c if the baby is ready instead of waiting until 3days befor my Due date. She did nto even answer me! I am very tired, cannot waite until this pregnancy is over.
