ladybug403_ I worked until my duedate with both my boys as a nurse...up and down the halls. I ended up 10-12 days overdue with both kids! You might as well work if you feel good because you'll just sit home in anticipation. I have a c/s scheduled for July 18 and I plan on working til 3 days prior.

I had a bad night last night. I kept getting up to pee and couldn't. I called the dr. this morning and went in and of course I have a UTI. I also had blood in my urine. I am now on an antibiotic but I feel awful! Now my back has started hurting and I am VERY uncomfortable. Hopefully tonight I can get some sleep.

Hi LookItsErin, here's the link- I would be interested to hear what the asthma specialist thinks of the article too if you don't mind posting it. It seems like taking the meds in moderation is ok but an expert opinion would be great for a lot of us who have been taking these! thank you! http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20080318/moms-heartburn-meds-carry-asthma-risk

Thanks to everyone who has been responding to my post. I love this site so much you ladies make me feel so much better. I feel a little better emotionally today. I only cried once. lol, but the day is still not over yet. Ohh and my little man has finally woke up and started kicking me today. He gave his mommy a good scare. I guess he was just being lazy (thats a boy for yah)

yikes...I've been on zantac throughout this pregnancy. I had acid reflux even before being prgnant, so it got really bad with pregnancy. I take Zantac 150 everyday....uh oh.

LookitsErin - 7.5 hours ago
AllyC- Thank you for the info on that article. I took prilosec and pepcid during the entire pregnancy of my first born, and she has been battleing asthma since birth basically. (my husband and i have no knowledge of asthma in our families)I just filled my perscription for pepcid tuesday with this baby. I can't wait to bring this article to my ob and asthma specialist to see what they believe. Thank you very much for the lead though.

ice cream, yogurt and watermelon have all helped my persistent heartburn

allyc - 9.1 hours ago
Hi newmommie25- my doctor said zantac was safe also, but just a heads up that I found an article which links zantac to increased risk of asthma in kids whose mothers took it while they were pregnant. If you are interested you can find the article on webmd.com it came out in March of this year. My doctor wsn't aware of this study...I stopped taking zantac once I read it

I finally got the results back from my GD test... and I passed!!! I was so worried because I nearly passed out during the test. I found out I'm also slightly anemic but not enough to require I take iron.

dasha - 10.2 hours ago
Well, after writing to Isaiahsmommy, I feel just silly writing about something so trivial, but I'm just having a happy moment that I finally have spoken to the office, and will squish my hours into four days a week. I usually work 5 days a week at the office, and teach ballet on wednesday nites, and a half day on Saturdays, so I've been really wiped out. Thank goodness for nice bosses!

wow the doctors told me either my baby will have to have 3 open heart surgeries the 1st one at 2-7 after birth the last being before 36 months, or a heart transplant, or that i can take my baby home and let nature take its course. this is the hardest thing i have ever had to deal with. time is just standing still right now

MommaD - 12 hours ago
As far as maternity clothes, since it's gotten warm, I prefer dresses. They are so comfortable and you don't have to tug on them to keep them over your belly and they aren't tight around the waist. My legs, feet, and hands ache everyday. Is that normal? One more thing, Im going to try to breastfeed, but Im not sure if I can due to previous breast surgery. So, if it doesn't work, what kind of formula should I use, any recommendations?

cosmomama - 12.1 hours ago
Thank you SO much to everyone who messaged me or commented about my post. I think I will try a chiropractor. It has been on my mind and a lot of women say it helps with back pain. I'll do anything at this point before I go on meds. Thanks again so very much. That is why I love this site! We can all share and help!

Does anyone have those days where their little ones are lazy and don't move as much?

ladybug403 - 15.6 hours ago
I am in need of some advice... I am currently a teacher. Our last day of school is scheduled for June 20th (which would leave 5 weeks off until baby arrives). However, for the last three years, I have taught summer school. I am thinking of signing up again this year, (the last day of summer school is July 25th, 3 days before my due date). I talked to my doctor and he says that I will probably be very uncomfortable, but there is no medical reason that I can't do it. PROS: 1) It is only three hours a day (from 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM). 2) I run the technology session, which means the students pretty much work on the computers the entire time and I supervise (I can wheel myself around in my roller chair if necessary to keep off my feet). 3)It is air conditioned. 4) The pay is really, really good, which will help tremendously when I am home with baby and not getting paid. CONS: 1) I am very swollen now, which I am sure will only get worse the bigger I get. 2) I could go into labor at work since it will be so close to my due date. 3) It's going to be very hot going outside and getting to work - especially being 8-9 months pregnant in the middle of July. I just don't know what to do since we could really use the cash, and I would still be able to rest all day after I get home at 12:00. Am I crazy to think I can do it?

MommyWonder - 17.2 hours ago
Hey ladies! I've been reading your comments about being overly emotional and I am going through that too. I haven't felt very hormonal until about week 28 so this is a bit new to me. I was so pissed at my bf over him not helping me with his kids and the housework that I just shut down and gave him the silent treatment so I didn't scream bloody murder. He got mad at me for that, but I'm sorry, I just won't waste my energy blowing up if I can help it.

becky468 - 19.8 hours ago
woopsiebaby- I'm the same way if someone looks at me wrong i'll either cry or get very angry. Yesterday for some reason I was in a very irratble mood and everyone was pissing me off. I felt bad for the people at work because I was very unpleasent to be around. When I got home from work I started a huge fight with my hubby and I was so mad at him and I didn't even know why. Then I started to cry and that went on for a few hours until I cried myself to sleep. Its almost like i'm going through pms again. Also, my anxiety is through the roof I worry about everything. If I don't feel the baby move every second of the day I worry as if there is something wrong. I know my little man is probably sleeping but I can't seem to grasp that. I hope these mood swings go away soon cause i'm driving myself mad.

cosmomama: i would get teh vicodine.. being pain and a emotional wreck because of it along with the stress that it is causing is probably more harmful for your baby that the pills. Babies can tell when youa re laughing and crying and yelling mad or happy... AS LONG AS you take the meds responsibly as prescribed and only when really needed your baby wont form an addiction to the drug... i had a shatter leg when i concieved and had to have surgeries, metal plates etc.. i couldnt eat sleep and was in constant pain ... i finally broke down and took the meds and now i am fine, i am happy, and enjoying the last 10 weeks of pregnancy... i eat well and sleep well and those are so important to baby and beign able to be active as helped the pain go away... so i dont need the pain pills no more... my baby is 100% healthly!!!! your health and comfortablibily is just as important as the baby's... good luck girl...

alaskapups01 - 23.3 hours ago
Cosmomama-I have the same pains, like a stabbing pain on my right side mid back and on my right ribs just like you said...although I thought mine were bad, after reading your post I am glad they are at least manageable. I'm so sorry you are in so much pain! My doc suggested stretching & tylenol, neither of which did much. I have used heat and biofreeze gel on my back which at least temporarily gives me relief when I'm at home and can sit or lay down for awhile.

Has anyone ever had Braggs raw organic apple cider vinegar? When I have it I can taste an aftertaste of strong liquor. Anyone else who has tried it notice that?

cosmomama - 1 days ago
hey yall. I really need help. I am having a very rough pregnancy. My baby is GREAT, so thats the good news. I, myself, however, have been in so much pain for so long that it has become a part of my life. It started with a pinched nerve on the right side of my mid back since March. It throbs and kills me all day and night. I can get no relief, take no anti-inflammatories, and the only safe methods do absolutely nothing. I literally can't even go down a few ailes of the grocery store without it starting to throb like hell. Then I got stricken with bad sciata going down my right thigh that literally feel like I'm on fire at night. I wake up screaming in pain and I scare my poor hubby. But it is so bad everynight and I am afraid to even sleep. NOW, since, 2 weeks ago, I have been having TERRIBLE rib pain on my right side under my breast. Everything seems to be my right side. The pain is absolutely unbearable all day and my ribs are bending, bruised and feel like they are on fire. It is even sensative to touch, so my shirts even really hurt when I walk around. Ice used to help me, but now I feel that it only makes me throb worse. I have tried everything that my Dr. has suggested, even physical therapy, but at this point, they say that it will not get better until I deliver...in 11 weeks! How am I supposed to live like this for 11 more weeks? I cry everyday in pain and we are moving into a new home in 2 weeks and I can barely pack a box up. It makes me feel worthless to just sit in bed and cry in pain. SO, my DR. prescribed my Vicodin, saying that it is safe enough and the ONLY way I will get any relief. Not only has Vicodin made me sick/dizzy in the past, it is a class C medication, which I have tried to avoid taking for my babys sake. Sorry to ramble, but I need to know if anyone else is experience this terrible pain and if you have found any SAFE ways to relieve it. My baby is #1, so we decided against Vicodin, but in the meatime, I'm miserable and disfunctional. I finally got on disability yesterday. Work was excrutiating. But I'm at a loss, and it seems to get worse and worse no matter what I do. PLEASE! If you know anything that has helped you personally with these issues, let me know. They say rib pain is common,as is sciatica, but not as badly as I am having it. And pinched nerves in the back are fairly uncommon. The combination of the 3 is killing me. I need help/advice. Anyone else giving Vicodin? I have not even picked up the RX, but I'm tempted to. But not if it will hyrt my lil one. Thanks for listening and any help is more than welcome!

everyday is a breakdown for me lately. We are in the process of putting up our house for sale. So we've had to do some updates that are turning into nightmares. Now all I do is worry about the house selling. Would you rather move at 7-8 months pregnant or after the birth?? Neither sound appealing to me! I am TOO stressed out! If my husband looks at me crosseyed, I burst out in tears. I hope it gets better soon.

For those of you that have failed your 3 hour glucose test. Were you feeling bad before you had it? I don't know if it is being pregnant or GD but I feel horrible. No energy whatsoever!!! I have been fine up until a couple of days ago and then my doc called me and told me I failed the one hr test and need to take the 3 hr tomorrow. Just wondering how you ladies with GD feel...

i have found some cute maternity clothes at motherhood (very expensive)and at rosses (very cheap), i dont know if those stores are only in texas or what. the other day i found the cutest two piece halter top maternity outfit at motherhood for $24 i thought that was a bargin for a shirt and pants! i have stopped buying now because i refuse to spend anymore money on clothes i think i have plenty to last me till im through! its so funny because i have learned to keep all my maternity clothes in a laundry basket i have two closets full of pre- pregnancy clothes. i dont even open the door to them because there is absolutely no need! i cant wait to get back in to them though! its gonna be like opening the doors to heaven. i dont even remember what i have in the closets anymore. also i tried wearing a pair of tenis shoes the other day. they were to small on my break i had to come home and grab the flip flops!! my feet actually said thank you when i put them on!! this weekend is our family reunion and its in a park im am looking forward to it but the heat is gonna kill me! i think i will jus grab a pan of food and head back to the hotel!!!

Hello ladies. I understand the frustration with maternity clothes. However I oredered some maternity clothing from JC Penny and I was pleased with them. I feel very comfortable in them and they are made to make you look pleasantly pregnant not just huge.

Hi ladies. Every year I do a charity event to help raise money for juvenile diabetes. I am not trying to push you to donate to my cause, but if you wish to donate you can online at this address. https://www.jdrf.ca/index.cfm?fuseaction=walk.pledge&participant_id=45B9EFC4-7E90-9BD4-CFCA802F9ECC8C7A&lang=E Thanks in advance ladies!

about the pain meds, i was told not to take any pain meds with narcotics in it in the 3rd trimester, cause the baby can be addicted to them when they are born.

dasha - 1 days ago
Oh yeah. Best place for Mat clothes is OLD NAVY. Tho be careful with the jeans. They stretch ridiculously. I bought a medium (i'm 5'4 and currently 145-ish) because the smalls were too tight on the thighs, and then had them taken up in the leg, and in at the hip, and I have the saggiest ass in the world. Finally squished back into my pre-prego MAVIs and just leave the fly undone with a neck-warmer smushed down around my hips to cover the fly... But all their tops are not tents, and are really long and soft, and their pants are gorgeous....

Okay. So Holy Pain in the $@*$# Batman! Question for y'all, because this is really hurting me today. I keep getting shooting nerve pain in the opening (collar?) of my uterus. In french its called the 'col' of your uterus. I recognize the pain because once upon a time I had an abortion, and they attach something to that spot to make you dilate to make the aspiration easier, and I'm having the exact kind of pain I did when they were forcing the dilation...Maybe I should just get up and walk around a bit and see if it eases up....I mean, I know that technically we can be starting to dilate minutely already, so maybe thats all it is, but holy crap! this is nuts! Doesn't help that Noah is doing a tapdance right down there too, but jaysus! If anybody else hurts like this, please let me know so I feel better....

You are so right about the stupid elastic in the back of the pants and the regular fronts... it makes my butt and thighs in the back look huge! and also about our backs not being pregnant, and maternity shirts being too short. makes you wonder if the designers even have a pregnant person try these things on before they put them out. Anyway, i think we should consider ourselvespretty lucky that we are pregnant in a time where the fashion is long, flowing shirts. We can easily go to any store to buy a shirt that fits and looks generally pretty good. As for the pants, well... let's just wear stretchy skirts.

I just noticed the post about belly button pain, and since the 'belly button' page doesn't really explain why it can hurt,(besides herniation), I'll tell you. As you know, the umbilicus is where our umbilical cord used to be attached, therefore some remnants remain of its vital function. There are 3 ligaments that used to be vessels that run from your umbilicus to various parts of your body. The Median Umbilical Ligament attaches your navel to your bladder,the Lateral Umbilical Ligament(formerly the umbilical artery)goes from your navel to your internal Iliac arteries, and your Round Ligament of the Liver (formerly the umbilical vein)runs from your navel to your liver. So as these ligaments stretch during pregnancy (just like the other ligaments)they can be painful, causing that 'shooting' pain you feel in your groin(the M.U.ligament), or a stitch in your side(the liver ligament).A general soreness from the skin stretching also contributes to the discomfort, since the belly button has its fair share of nerve endings. I hope I didn't make this too boring or technical...I just felt everybody wanted a better answer.

I gave myself a good scare last night.I was using the bathroom (just #1) and when I wiped I saw bright red blood. I quickly figured out it was from my hemorrhoids! It wasn't a little bit of blood either...thank goodness that's all it was! I almost forgot how bad they can get...I've had no pain or itching from them yet...I'm sure that will change as the weeks pass...ah, the joys of motherhood...I feel so glamorous! ;0)

hey everyone!! on the heartburn issue i just left the doc and she told me if you get it constantly zantac is perfectly safe to take!! hope that helps!

patriciamtz - 2 days ago
is anyone else stressed with your relationship with your partner, we recently seperated because of all the fighting and I am having the hardest time with it... I cant imagine us still being seperated when the baby is here...my heart hurts :( (emotionally)

becky468 - 2 days ago
I agree with the maternity shirts......THEY SUCK!!! I have 2 maternity shirts I bought from Target and all my other are just normal shirts that are stretchy. I do wear maternity bottoms like capris and shorts as of now because my belly is too big for normal pants. I like the normal shirts better cause the hug on your belly and make you look so darn cute with your bump hanging out all proudly.

jessnkirk - 2 days ago
hey everyone, just wanted to asnwer some of yalls questions, i get the pains in my tummy, at night but they more feel like the tummy is stretching, i have been in maternity clathes for a while. another thing is my belly button has not popped out. not even close, it looks like a nomal belly button like im not even preggo.

carolynjh - 2 days ago
Yeah, I have given up on maternity clothes pretty much. Actual maternity shirts like to look similar to tents for some reason, my back is not pregnant! I just try to find stretchy long tshirts and cotton stretchy skirts. I hate how on maternity pants they have this elastic in back but regular front, so the front digs in to the bottom of my belly and the back is all bunched up!

kla2200 - 2 days ago
I can relate to the maternity clothes issue. I am definitely showing but I can still wear a lot of my pants because they sit below my belly. I went to Kohls the other day and their maternity department was really dissappointing. I tried on three shirts and they were so short that my belly would be hanging out of them in a week! So I went to the Juniors department and found tons of stuff because apparently the style now is to look pregnant even though your not...so I found a bunch of shirts that fit over my belly.
