Moody Monday
Every week we used to do a post of the day. Moody Mondays was created to share our mood of the week...such as excited for delivery, nervous for appointment, thrilled because husband did something nice. Doesn't have to be pregnancy related...Just a post to celebrate, vent and share so we can keep up with each other.
Sooo...how are we all doing today? What's up for the week?

Really tired of being pregnant:( Excited for thursdays appointments! I have a growth scan to see how big my "littlle" girl is and my 38 week appointment where my doctor told me she would strip my memebranes if she is able to! Woo hoo! As of last week im 2 cm dialated and baby is still really high. Im so ready to be done! Dalton is testing his limits now days. He is 11 months old now and he likes to hit and bite, ugh! Tristan will be starting a new school this year, due to moving and Hunter is starting kindergarden......so much to do and so little time. Shots and back to school shopping, throw in a new baby and I already feel like im going to need meds, lol. I really hope need moody monday post I can say I have had my little princess!
I hope everyones week gets better or stays good!! Worriedbabe- you will be holding Nathan in no time at all! I cant wait to hear all about it. BTW I think some of the practices in the UK are silly, they should at least check you for dailation when you are this close!

Well, I"m just tired, and wishing the weekend was back! They seem to go so fast! I'm so glad that I finally, finally, FINALLY found someone to help me install my infant car seat! And the nicer part is that they are coming to me! My back is starting to bother me again, and my feet are swollen almost 24/7. OB appt on Thursday, hoping everything continues to look good!
Didn't read everyone's post, but just adding in my bit. I was shocked and surprised when DH ADMITTED he was WRONG and apologized!! He's not one to admit being wrong, and is "always right". SO needless to say, I think he's finally starting to learn...
I am recovering from yesterday's emotional rollercoaster thanks to my wonderful pregnancy hormones and I am also waiting impatiently for my U/S next week and at the same time dreading my husband leaving for Tech School!
i a bit nervous because tom i get the results of my 3 hr blood sugar test. i really hope i dont have gestational diabetes. i was reading up on GD and one place said its possibe to get it if you previously had a still born or with a birth defect and i had a still born due to chromosomal abnorlalties so pretty nervous the nurse will tell me tom i have it
Excited for the week!! My DH and I will be celebrating our 4 yr wedding anniversary on the 6th!! (We have been together for 8 years on the 17th.)
and im waiting for tomorrow to see in AF shows or not. Hopefully this is a great week all around!!! :)
Happy Monday everyone!!

Happy Monday everyone!!
Well i feel really depressed today, i keep crying. I just feel really unattractive and every time i look in the mirror i feel worse. I guess it must be hormones, to top it off im 34 on wednesday. Hope everyone else is happy. Kelly x
kinda sad this week i have had my ds all summer since may and i have to bring him back to his fathers its got me kinda upset ive gotten use to him being here everyday and now i wont see him till next summer (ds wont get to meet his brother till then either and he kisses my belly many times a day and rubs the baby) its so hard on both of us his father living 1,000 miles away but im happy i have made it to 20 weeks and think its a blessing to carry this baby expecially after having 2 m/c
Nervous today. I have an OB appointment later but my OB is not in this week so I am seeing the midwife who I absolutely love by the way, but I'm not sure that this is the appt that I want to see her for... Then again I much rather see her than any of the other Dr's in the practice.
Routine appointment today, I think they will do a quick u/s just to ease my mind cause I'm only 9 1/2 weeks or so and they usually don't even try the doppler till 12 weeks (although I have found our baby every day with my doppler since 9 weeks 1 day!!).
What I am nervous about is today is the day I find out when I get my cerclage put in... Ugh!! I'm so scared over that... I know they say its best because even though they can't say for sure that I have i/c after having the cerclage I carried DS to term (or would have if I wasnt induced at 36 weeks for high bp). But its surgery... and surgery is scary... and they have to do a spinal... and I don't do well with those... when I had my last cerclage the spinal dropped my bp to 70/40 and then when I had an epidural I dropped to 60/20!! Strangely enough they were trying to drop my bp with the epidural... thats why they did it... but not that low and it took them awhile to get it back.
My Dr. said that all of this is ok and normal in 15-25% of people who get an epidural/block and that she will have ephedrine standing by... but I'm still really scared!! And then I'm scared of getting it taken out!! For some reason (cruel joke maybe!?) they block all of your nerves and prop you up like a stuffed turkey to put it in... but NO numbing to get it out!? Last time I had to beg for pain meds but it didn't help... and I was having contractions so I couldn't wait for my OB to do it I had to have it done by some rough resident... lets just say OOOOOUUUUUCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!
Oh... I almost wish I could talk my OB into just monitoring my cervix again and only putting in the cerclage if I have shortening again... but I know that might not be the best idea...
Anyway... sorry for rambling ladies... I'm so glad for this post and a place to vent! I really needed that this morning!!
sweetangel7~ sorry that you are dreading going back to work and hope you hear from mumita soon!
worriedbabe~ I agree with sweetangel... when you talk to your midwife be very firm about how badly you want this scan and how worried that you are. It may make a difference. Like she said sometimes midwives tend to be too relaxed and they don't realize how stressed us momma's can get! Good Luck! and keep us posted!
Lance06~ I can totally relate to the lack of energy... only a few more weeks to go though (not even for you!) and it should start getting better!!
starpatience~ Congrats on 16 weeks! Is this your first? Maybe that would explain the showing/ not showing thing? Good Luck at your appt!!
ready_4_baby_2~ Try not to worry to much about symptoms (or lack of them) every women is different and like worriedbabe said symptoms can come and go throughout pregnancy... Good Luck at your appt tomorrow!!
amberd5195~ Sorry your feeling so blah! I hope the clinic calls you back soon and gives you some answers so you can get to enjoying your day!

Feeling really blah this Monday morning. Headaches and nausea (34wks preg) waiting for the clinic to call back. Mad because today is my day off and I want to enjoy my kiddos.
pregnancy symtoms can come and go throughout pregnancy, it's normal so please don't worry.
I posted a jounral this morning about how I havent been sick this weekend and after I did that...I feel sick. Im excited about my first official OB appointment tomorrow. I also get to see the baby again and it will be my husband 1st time seeing the baby. Too bad we cant take out little daughter with us. Maybe we'll bring her for the 17week appointment.
On Wednesday I will be 16 weeks, YAY!!. Tuesday I see my midwife for a check up and my DH needs to get his blood drawn to check if he has a Anti C antivirus. They found it in my blood and my numbers last month were 1/8 I believe. Hopefully everything will be okay.
Ive also been a bit nervous about my belly. Lately I thought I was begining to show, Until yesterday and this morning my stomach seemed flat. So im not sure if before it was just gas or what I was eating. It seems like my belly only gets bigger and round after I eat is this normal??
Im so confused. I hope the baby is okay!! I cant wait until tomorrow so I can wase my mind and enjoy the rest of my week!

that's the weird thing sweet...i had a private scan at 34 weeks and was told baby was definitely not small...about 5 and a half pounds then she reckoned. i had that scan following me passing what looked like a huge blood clot or piece of placenta. the nhs refused to scan me so i paid for it privately. what worries me is if it was placenta it would not show on a scan...and it's since the passing of this thing that my fundal measurements have dropped dramatically. midwife guesses baby will be about 8 lbs but i really need to discuss my concerns with her properly.
Tired...more like exhausted. Only 10 1/2 weeks pregnant and I just have no energy.
Sarah drains alot of me most days. She is 6 months old today and I have to bring her to get the dreaded shots.....man..not looking forward to that.
Other than that..I am already counting down the days til the weekend!

Definitely push for a scan...I'd be wanting one! I'd even fib to get one ;) Do what you have to do! Some midwives are more relaxed about things than I'd like them to be...be firm about your concern! Probably just a small baby but better to see with your own eyes!
I've been busy-busy! Dreading going back to work Sep. 1. Love my job but love my boy soooo much more!
I'm dying to hear from mumita! I hope everything is okay. I remember my delivery didn't go as planned and ds ended up in NICU for a week and I was lucky enogh to stay in hospital with him so I was off Medhelp for awhile...now I worry when people aren't on ALTHOUGH I know it is normal for them to be gone even with a normal delivery! I guess I'm just a worrier ;)
Today I'm planning on taking my little guy out visiting some of the teachers I work with...whoever is lucky enough to be at the school! He's such a happy baby...loves visiting and being social!

i'm nervous about my appointment with my midwife on wednesday. i'm nearly at the end of pregnancy and my fundal measurement is measuring A MONTH behind and i haven't been offered a growth scan. my midwife felt my belly and said after having a good feel and accounting for the fact baby's dropped - she wasn't worried. BUT, i am...i know she's a very good midwife and very experienced but she was so off with her guess about last baby's weight ( well over 2lbs off ) that i'm concerned she may have made a mistake here. i want to discuss my concerns with her on wednesday and am anxious about how it will go.
