Hello ladies. Im from wk 26 & have a question...1st off, I'm so stressed right now. I live in Florida, & my brother is getting married in NY 9 days before my due date.By car it's 22 hrs. 2 1/2 by plane, & 28 by train. Seems the quickest way is by plane, but I'm terrified of them & scared of heights. Dr. said its ok 2 fly, but I'm not so sure. If I cant go, my mother & brother want me 2 at least send my 13 & 14 year old by themself. Everyones giving me a hard time about it, but I'm just so scared 2 send them so far away & I'm scared something may go wrong on the plane that I would lose my only 'real family' I have, which are my kids. I'm not all that close 2 my mom.Matter of fact, she just found out last week that I'm pregnant. I was scared 2 tell her cause i knew she would down me 4 being a single parent. But I feel that I've done a better job than her & I'm not a golddigger or depend on men to take care of me. My question is should i not even attempt 2 go?Should i send my kids even though it terrifies me? Am i wrong for feeling the way i do? I feel like i'm going 2 be miserable just 2 make everyone happy. I appreciate any advice you ladies can give me & allowing me 2 vent a little.

I had an US on Monday, and the baby weighs 4lbs 3ozs. - he's in the 25th percentile...the doctor didn't suggest changing my diet and they said that this size was still normal.

Well yesterday while I was waiting with my sister at the ER for her sprained ankle, I was having some contractions and cramping. I was a little worried. I headed home and took a hot bath and things calmed down. I was still feeling really achy this morning so I went to the dr. My dr was out of town, and I had to see a different doc. He checked my cervix and said that it is still long and hard (so no baby for a while...which..I still have 6 weeks, so I'm ok with that) and maybe a 'fingertip' dialated. He asked me how big the baby was and I said 'I'll find out tomorrow, I have an ultrasound'. 'I think she may be breech'....oh JOY! I hope to goodness she is not breech...I'm not going to panic just yet...but I really really really don't want a c-section ;( Keep me in your thoughts, and I hope little Emily cooperates and is heading for south! I will post tomorrow after the ultrasound

1stbabyforus, I would like to also add : slippers, a handheld fan (it made me more comfy during labor), and breast pads.

Rachel, yesterday was my first appointment with a chiropractor for similar problems. He actually told me that your spine can cause alot of problems for your body, ecspecially with the added weight of being pregnant. I went to see him again today, he ended up taking me off of work for good until after the birth, but he also has helped my problems out alot so far.

lilmama17 - 8.4 hours ago
my aunt was told she was having a 10 lb baby, and when he was born he was only 8 lbs ..

1stbabyforus - 8.5 hours ago
Being dehydrated can make you go into preterm labor too. As for what you should bring. You really dont need much. Some clothes to wear when you go home, bathroom supplies, a robe if you want to cuz of family visiting. Camera, video recorder what ever pleases you. Maybe a change of clothes for dad. A going home outfit for baby, a boppy if your breastfeeding (it will help even just to hold the baby) ummmm....all your info. birthing plan if you made one. And I cant think of anything else off the top of my mind. Alot of the books and website tell you to bring a lot of other stuff that you really dont need. Oh yea I have read some people bringing there own pillows too. But feel free to add something if I forgot anything which i am sure I did.

Just to let any new moms know.. Test your car seats out now!! We just got a new jeep cherokee, and we got a chicco carseat for a gift from my mom.. Well the damn thing doesnt even fit in the car lol... So i suggest testing out carseats at the store and put them in your car before purchasing or registering for them!!! On another note... im still sooo swollen and my left foot feels like its going to fall off i am in soo much pain i feel like every bone on the top of that foot is broken, im thinking its from only wearing flip flops and not getting support but wouldnt you think it would be both feet not one??/ ANy suggestions?

meggz - 9.4 hours ago
I just want to give some of you 1st time moms a little advice. I know they all say drink lots of water and keep hydrated, but you really should. I learned the hard way 1 of the things that can happen if you don't. I went in with preterm labor and they couldn't start an IV. My veins kept rolling. They blew 3 veins while trying to give me an IV. It was the most painful thing. They would get the needle in and dig around under my skin until they would finally hit the vein, then it would blow up. They finally got the IV started. But I am bruised and more sore than ever!!! They told me if I had been hydrated they don't think they would have had as hard a time starting the IV. I didn't have any problems like that with my 1st. So it's so easy to drink more water and PowerAde and spare myself the pain when I need an IV again! Good luck to all!

hey does anybody know exactly wat we should be bringing with us to the hospital when we are in labor?

HppyMomToBeRS - 10.5 hours ago
I have just been reading some of the post on the size of your babies. did you you know they are not exact. Those ultrasound can be 3-4 weeks of on your weight of the baby. I would not diet just because you are being told your baby are big. To me that is kind of scary. Maybe all doctors beleive different things.

It started with cleaning the bathroom, then to countertops, to scrubbing the toaster oven, then the sink. Then cleaning out the microwave, to wiping down the refrigerator, dishwasher stove and cabinets

To the ladies who responded to my last comment... Are you going to be recieving the short term disability through your workplace, or your state? I don't think my workplace offers short term disability for maternity leave. I do qualify for FMLA. Thanks!!

meggz - 13.3 hours ago
At 34 weeks and 4 days my little girl was 5lbs 10oz so if some of you guys are being told your 4 lb babys are big, I'm having a monster!

emetyb01 - 13.7 hours ago

Medical studies have shown that red raspberry leaf can be consumed safely during pregnancy and can decrease the length of labor and decrease the number of interventions used such as AROM, assisted delivery and cesarean delivery.1 Red raspberry leaf also seems to help prevent pregnancies from pre or post term gestation (delivering too early or too late). how shitty i thought it brought it on not prevented u from going early:( i was so exciyted to drink it to

Christy - I'm 34 weeks and had a ultrasound on tuesday. My gyni told me the baby is about 4,4 pounds and that that's too big and to cut out all sugars!! I live in Italy though so maybe they have different ideas over here. I wouldn't worry about it.

bethanne - 16.7 hours ago
I had and ultrasound yesterday and the baby weighed around 6lb's... now I am on a diet...lol

Hot-Mom- - 17.4 hours ago
Have any of you ever heard of women recieving short-term disability benefits during and for a short time after pregnancy, like, if your doc says you are not able to work anymore for whatever reason???

kara8385 - 17.6 hours ago
Ok, I have been having dreams that I am going into labor. Each dream is different and different people are there, but each time my b/f is not there and after Mason comes out I am always looking for my b/f and asking where he is at and everyone tells me they forgot to call him and I start freaking out that he doesn't know his son is born. I am starting to think that he will not be there when I go into labor and it really upsets me. I can't wait though to hold my little one. Every dream he has a full head of hair when he comes out.

Christy - 17.7 hours ago
if anyone had an ultrasound this week what the baby weighing?? I just had one and he only weighs 4 pounds 7 oz. In the 31st percentile and it has me worried! Doc may put me on protein shakes or something.

bellababy85 - 17.8 hours ago
Holy heartburn these last few days...I keep feeling like theres acid sitting in my lungs and throat eroding away the surface...it burns sooo bad!! On another note...I can't waiiit to hold this baby!! I'm starting to get really excited now! I'm okay with being pregnant for the next few weeks but the idea of holding and kissing and giving soo much attention to this little girl sounds soo much better. Thank God we still have so much more to do b4 she comes or else I wouldn't be able to keep my mind off her getting here sooner:)

1stbabyforus - 18.4 hours ago
I had said this in the last week but when I went to the store and was leaving I had my hand on my tummy cuz i was starting to have little pains and the associate as i walked by her said 'dont have that in here, go outside and do it' I was in shock until i came home and cried about it. Other than stupid people I am glad to be in week 34. Only 6 more to go and actually ladies if you think about it only 3 weeks till the baby is considered full term. I am so excited and scared at the same time but I am definitly ready for her to come out. I hope everyone isnt feeling too bad.

yari - 19.5 hours ago
I am back to being horomonal, according to my hubby I have't stopped. I am still infuriated at everyone and everything for no reason, but cry for every little thing. Damn diaper and baby soap commercials. I cannot wait to have my little boy sleeping on my chest, while I smell his hair, now that is the best feeling in the world.

tschmitz - 19.6 hours ago
in church on sunday, my pastor shared this poem with us and i thought it was so sweet, it made me cry.probly just hormones lol..but i thought i wuld share it with everyone!! A Childs Angel Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. One day the little child asked God: 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God answered him 'Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' 'But tell me,' asked the child, 'here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy.' 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.' God reassured him. 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?' 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.' 'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you, Lord?' 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.' 'I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?' 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' 'Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.' At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly 'Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.' 'You will call your angel, Mother'

Hi all. I was told yesterday that I am 1 1/2 to 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. They had to give me two shots of medication that stops contractions. Can anyone tell me or explain to me what 80% effaced actually means... my baby is also dropped all the way. I just really would like some feedback. Thank you all.

yesterday went to the doctor. He checked the cervix and said that nothing is happening down there yet. Also said that baby is still high. So now I have something to answer all those people who comment on my belly - hey, looks like your baby dropped already. Well, he is not and this is official from my doctor.

I know it will be worth it - I'm just getting so scared :( And angry at my boyf coz he doesn't hav2 do it :) !! xx

For anyone getting those horrible leg cramps my Dr. taught me a trick today, I haven't tried it yet but he swears it works. The middle part of the bottom lip is a pressure point for your calves and used in accupunture to relieve calf pain/tightness. He says to push your bottom lip out (like you are pouting) place your index finger on the inside (must be in the middle) of your lip and your thumb on the outside. Now squeeze. Sounds silly but I will definitely be trying it if one of those beastly cramps wakes me up again! Can't be any worse than my little dance I do right now. From now on my Dr. wants to see me once a week, oh we are so close ladies hang in there!

First day in week 34!! Had to do the announcement. Anyone else's baby transverse? Did you get any suggestions, my Dr just said he still has time to turn (barely), my other 2 were always head down, so any natural suggestions to try and get his big ol gonna be 8 pound butt to move would be great!!

Our weather has been very cruddy this spring so far...50's - 60's with lots of wind. This weekend it is supposed to make a 30 degree jump and be in the 80's -90's. Holy cow! I have been sweating in 60 degree comfort, what am I going to do this weekend? I have never been one to sweat (outside of exercising), but I feel like I am always in over-heat mode.

mommytobe21- I also get those sharp pains and have been getting them for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't worry if I were you. just mention it to your docter at your next appointment and maybe he will check you.

I've posted this before, but it seems to be getting worse. Anyone else experiencing sharp/jolting pains... down in their croch area? (sry, if tmi) Its been happening the last couple of days... and I was just wondering what it is? It deff. hurts enough to make me jump. I was looked it up on google.. and it said something about starting to dilate. I just wondered if I should call my dr. because I dont go back again till next tues. And I thought maybe it was possible about the dilating thing... b/c I have 2 diff. due dates... one would make me 34 weeks (which is what I go by) and the other one would make me almost 36 weeks. Any ideas?
