Not sure whether to scream or cry...or both..
Well I'm back from doc appt and NOTHING!!! He said baby is still pretty high, that if she were a little lower we could do something. I was so frusterated after he said that I forgot to ask if my cervix had changed any. I told him how miserable I was. He's calling me in an antibiotic, decongestant and something for nauseau. He commented that I'd lost 2 lbs...DUH I haven't been eating and when I do it comes back. My BP was up just a hair at 140/79 and babies HB was 140.
TODAY he makes the comment about the bumpy rides being a good idea and that I need to find a dirt road with a lot of bumps. WTF?!?!?! Friday he tells me not to. Then he tells me to come back on Friday which is my due date, but mentions that he is on call Thursday.
SO unless this little girl suddenly decides she's no longer satisfied with her current accomodations I'm stuck being miserable a few more days. Hopefully the antibiotics and decongestant will help tho. I got the impression that he wants me to have a couple days of antibiotics in me before I deliver. He didnt' say that but he eluded to it.
This little girl has a mind of her own and will come whenever she is ready. At this point atleast I know it won't be TOO much longer. This doc won't let me go more than a couple days overdue, atleast that seems to be the status quo for him. SO, with any luck and a ton of prayers by this time next week I will be holding my little girl and feeling a lot better. It's getting through until then that's the lousy part.

If I had one of those machines DH and I both would do nothing but sit around and eat ice pellets LOL.
It's not 5:15 am on Wednesday. I got a decent bit of rest last night. Took my antibiotic, some generic dayquil and half of a hydrocodone and knocked myself out LOL. I set up shop in th recliner, complete with tissues, cough drops and humidifier LOL. I woke up several times but not enough to have to get up.
Finally at 5 I had to pee and couldn't wait so I'm up. Now that I have been up and moving my sinuses are starting to clear out and of cour the gagging has started...thus begins the battle to not hurl which takes about half an hour.
This chest crud is now turning into a sinus infection (sinus stuff was clear) and I have a horrible sinus headache but other than that I feel a smidge better. As soonn as I can be fairly sure I'm not gonna puke I'm gonna take my next dose of anitbiotic and some more dayquil.
On another note...I woke up to Lily (we'll stick with that name for now) not moving as much as she normally does in the mornig. She's moving just not nearly as actively, I'm cramping-like lower back period cramps, had a couple moderate contractions and a little bit more slimy discharge when I went to the bathroom. Atleast I know my body is TRYING to do something.

Oh my goshI thought I was the only one who loved Ice pellets from the hospital...
holy monkeys i want to buy one of those ice machines for my home.
Every time I eat crushed Ice EVERY TIME I think "boy I wish this was hospital ice"
how weird is that? LOL
yeah definitely a good idea to let the antibiotics help you feel better so you can go into labor rarin' and ready to go!

As long as I watch what I eat and try to keep my sinuses clear the puking thing pretty much stays under control. It's worse after I've been sleeping becuase all the mucus accumulates in my throat and stomach and sinuses and when I get up and move around it all starts working it's way out and gags me. Gross I know. But yeah..the ice thing works great for cooling nasal passages and sore throats too. I've been eating popsicles, drinking really cold drinks etc. I'm actually looking forward to being in the hospital simply becuase I absolutely LOVE Those ice pellets they have. I'm like literally craving them now. LOL . I have an advantage tho...I don't have to worry about ruining my teeth becuase they're fake. I didn't get enough calcium during my first pregnancy and ended up having to have them all yanked out so that's one thing I DON'T have to worry about ;)
LMAO....poor child she's probably being stubborn becuase she DOESN'T have a name yet!! But like I told DH I would far rather stay pregnant a few more days and let the antibiotics make me feel better than to try and labor feeling like I've been repeatedly run over by a truck.

I'm sure you've done this before but maybe you just didn't think of it....
I can't take phenergan anymore or compazine or reglan and I don't like Zofran (I found out that because I have allergic dystonic reactions I can't take anything in that family) so the way I managed my end-of-pregnancy nausea and my post-pregnancy nausea iiiiis....chewing ice. it's awful for your teeth but if the chunks are too big let them melt down or used shaved ice.
I'm serious..I swear by it 100% I have a small scoop of crushed ice after every meal to settle my nausea since I have a hiatal hernia but can't treat with anti-nausea meds.
What is WITH your little girl Cass? You just made her too comfy...you're too good of an incubator and she doesn't want to leave, lol. C'mon little Lily/Dani/Lani/Aly/whatever you shall be called! Out, missy!
