Mommy2Luke - Wednesday, 10 December Ok ladies...As stated earlier, my Dr told me today that my lil man will be here within the week...But I have a question...I'm getting these 'poking' sensations in my cervix....like the baby has a stick and is actually poking me...anyone else feeling this feeling..it actually is sort of painful...and like 4 or 5 'pokes' in a row...then nothing...then a few more...etc. I read on one website that the feeling is the cervix changing...but not sure about that. Se did say I was 60% effaced cervix was 'mushy' and I'm 1 and half cm dialted..and baby is at a +1 station....any advice?

After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

Lillysmomma08 - Wednesday, 26 November I havent noticed too much of a developmental delay, the only thing I have noticed is she isnt reaching for things yet, like toys and stuff. But it is normal for them to be somewhat behind until they reach 2-3 yrs of age. She has to go to a Developmental Clinic on Dec. 6th so Im guessing Ill find out if she is behind and how far then.
Lillysmomma08 - Tuesday, 25 November Hi. Thanks for answering my comment. Glad your little man is ok. My Lilly weighed 3lbs 3ozs at birth and I was told that was big for a 28wkr. lol She is doing fine. We are battling her first ear infection right now but other than that she is great. Doing better than I really expected her to do, given her early birth.
mandarae - Tuesday, 25 November Hey there - read your post re: pumping. My girls were in NICU for 4 weeks, I struggled to pump as well and it felt like that is ALL I did, pump and store milk. I understand your frustration at the amount of milk, but relax... your body will continue to produce and it will come - I promise! I am breastfeeding twins!!! I pumped every three hours for 15-20 min each time. I even did the three hours during the night, but was able to build up a good enough supply for two. A trick that worked for me was to have a picture of the babies to look at, and I drank water while I pumped. I hope all goes well for you!!!
cherrybeth - Tuesday, 25 November Hey mommies....I just did another poll on Nathan's middle name. We are still trying to pick one out. Can you please take time to look and vote for which one you like the best? Thanks girls!! xo
KiMikeBaby - Tuesday, 25 November Thank you. I will look into it. I know if I am still 2cm next ultrasound (why I would be different I don't know) they are going to send me to an obstetrician (that's all I get for higher risk here) and then I'll have ultrasounds every couple of weeks or so.
Thanks for your help. Sorry if I've repeated myself (I may have). I am sort of out of it right now.
It is good to hear they can give the baby shots to make it grow faster. I'll let you know how it goes!
