11-20-07 Ultrasound

12-13-07 13 weeks 6 days pregnant

Still getting Nausea, I've been having alot of headaches lately as well.
I can feel my abdomen stretching. I've been feeling alot of flutters, Mainly at night.

I have another ultrasound next week, My midwife is keeping an eye on this blood thing I have on my uterus. I am now on pelvic rest because of it. Hopefully this thing begins going away and is not getting bigger. I will find out next week I guess.
It's kinda scary because I dont know what it could develop into. I know I never had this many Ultra sounds with my first pregnancy.

I Figured every week I will update and add a belly pic. So here is a belly pic from today. Dont mind the stretch marks...they are from my last pregnancy and now they are turning red again ugh.

12.20.07 Ultrasound 14 weeks 6 days

1.12.08 18 weeks 1 day pregnant
I have been feeling the baby kicking like crazy! I've been feeling the flutters for weeks. But beginning last week I have been feeling some jabs! It's so exciting! Im able to feel them if I put my hand on my belly, The kicks are only going to get stronger! I cant wait!

I had an appt. with my midwife the other day, She reviewed the results from my last ultrasound..and says that the blood thingy that was on my uterus has absorbed!
Great news.

I haven't been getting morning sickness any more. I do if I dont eat, But I've been doing really well with eating every 2-3 hours and drinking tons of fluids. After my trip to the er I dont want a repeat of that. ( I had to go to the er for severe headaches, turns out I was severly dehydrated and had a UTI.)

Every day I can tell my belly grows little by little. Finally getting in to the fun part of pregnancy. So many changes everyday!
I added some belly pictures to my photo album!

Besides being really hungry and peeing all of the time, Everything is going great. Our little boy never stops moving! He kicks me so much its unbelievable!
I've been having trouble sleeping, I just cant get comfy. I wake up at least 3 times throughout the night to go potty. My husband can really feel the kicks now! He felt his first real kick on 1.16.08, His reaction was the greatest. I can actually lay on my back and watch my belly move when the baby really gets going. We had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago, and it was confirmed that it's a boy!

I have been having a ton of pelvic pressure and lower back pain along with some braxton hicks contractions for the past week, week and a half. I've been freaking out thinking something was wrong, I don't remember having any of these pains so early with my pregnancy with my daughter, so I called my midwife and met her at the hospital yesterday. They hooked my up to the monitor, checked the babies heart beat and tracked my contractions. They swabbed me to see if I was going into labor and they checked my urine for a UTI. She examined my cervix to see if I was dilating. All the tests came back negative and she said that my cervix is nice and tight. I WAS SO RELIVED! I kept having anxiety attack one after the other on my way to the hospital...I was so scared. When she told me everything was fine a HUGE weight was lifted off of my shoulders. She said because I've had a kid before that all of the ligaments are already stretched out and I'm feeling everything more with this pregnancy because of that. And the weight of the baby is putting pressure on my pelvic area and straining my back.
The pain has been so bad lately, I can barely get up from laying down or sitting on the couch! Thank God my husband is such a big help, he usually ends up having to pull me up to a standing position lol So I'm going to be investing in one of those belly belts that help support your belly and back.
3.5.08 25 weeks and 5 days
Well, Yesterday I woke up with extremely bad cramps. I figured I would try to tough it out because I figured it was from my midwife examining my cervix the day before...So I pretty much laid in bed all morning moaning and groaning...I just couldn't get comfy and it hurt so bad. So when noon came around I called my husband at work and just broke down because I didn't know what to do. I found my discharge papers from the night before said if I had any abdominal pains or discharge to contact my midwife...so I did. and they wanted me to come back to the hospital to be checked and monitored again. So Off I Went, The night before I was in the hospital for like 2 hours and last night I was there for over 4. I didn't mind because I got to close my eyes and take like an hours nap which was great. They redid all the tests they did the night before. I wasn't dilated at all, I was having tiny contractions, and then they said that there was blood in my urine. I cant remember what she said it was called but, Where the urine comes out is swollen and infected. She put me on some meds and wants me to drink tons and tons of water to flush out my system along with some cranberry juice. She said if I start having more problems to let her know. They want to figure out whats going on with me and if I have to go to the hospital every single day then thats what needs to be done. I'm having a few signs of pre term labor but they think it may be because of this infection, they want to nip it in the but and see what happens. So far today I have no cramps or pressure. I'm going to start taking the antibiotic today for the next 7 days. I'm also back on pelvic rest, I have to go back in one week for a check up to make sure everything is going well, if it is..then hopefully she'll take me off of pelvic rest. So for the next week, No sex, No orgasms, No heavy lifting at all...nothing that will strain my uterus. I cant even pick up my daughter, unless I absolutely have to.
3.10.08 26 weeks and 3 days
We set up the crib last night! I added some pictures to the photo album of the crib. Just have to get him a crib set and his bed will be all set! We are getting more and more excited with each passing day. Our daughter can't wait. After setting up the crib she said to us "Ok, Got to go to the hospital and get baby brother George" lol How cute is that...I wish it were that easy kid! haha
I cant believe how fast time is going. I feel like I just got pregnant and here I am almost to the end! I feel this kid kick and move inside me, I cant wait to hold him in my arms! But at the same time I want to enjoy every moment that I can being pregnant. I love being pregnant! lol I know Daddy loves my growing belly, but he is dying to hold his little man.
3.24.08 28 weeks and 3 days
Had a great easter weekend, got to see lots of family and talk lots of the pregnancy! Had my Glucose test done last Thursday, Hopefully the results will come back just fine. I'm growing so much everyday! My belly just keeps getting bigger and bigger, I love it! Less than 12 weeks to go! Yesterday 3.23 I felt the baby having the hiccups for the first time!!! It was awesome, we were hanging out with family and I went to hunt down my husband so I could tell him. We are so excited! Everything is going great! Cant wait to meet our son!
3.28.08 29 weeks
Only 11 more weeks to go!! I cant believe how fast time has flown!
Last night while laying in bed Little George got the hiccups for the second time!
We could actually feel the hiccups from the outside, It was crazy. I started drinking water because I felt bad for the little guy! Well, I've been having a hard time bending over, my belly is just getting bigger and bigger every day. Little George loves kicking my ribs and stretching out! If I'm sitting down when he does this I actually have to straighten my body out so that I can breath! I can't believe how much this kid moves, He really beats me up lol I've been taking video of him moving around, my belly will shift into many different positions.
This Video was taken on 3.27.08

Well, Had an appt. with my midwife today. I had an ultrasound right before my appt. with her...I'll be 37 weeks on Friday..and the baby is already about 7 lbs 6 oz!!!!!!!!!!! Most of his measurements were coming up 38 weeks..She said he is in the 86th percentile for his size, I'm 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. She had me pick up some evening primrose oil...She said we'll see how my cervix is doing next tuesday and she will pop open the pills and rub the liquid on my cervix. She also swept the membranes on my cervix and my mucus plug is falling out...It was crazy I sat down to pee and I felt some of it actually fall out of me..I started having contractions but I just ate dinner and now im relaxing and they are going away, I had three in like a ten minute period. My lower back is KILLING me..my husband said he would rub my back for me...I CANT WAIT! Lol So im glad im making some kind of progress. My midwife leaves the practice May 31st...so I'm really hoping I have the baby before then so that she is the one to deliver the baby!
My daughter was 5 lbs 15 oz when she was born...and she was born at 38 weeks...Im not even 37 weeks and this boy is OVER 7lbs...I'm going to cry...there is NO WAY im not getting an Epidural! lol
We just can't wait to have our little man! I really hope he is here before the end of may...we dont want anything in our birth plan to change because of having to have a different midwife.
5.27.08 37 weeks 4 days
Alright, So I've come to the conclusion that nothing I do is going to make this baby come any quicker...So I'm going to stop stressing my self out and take one day at a time and when he is ready he will make his entrance! I had my appt. with my midwife...my cervix is literally paper thin..but I have not dilated more than two cm, same as I was last week. Well at least my cervix has thinned out...thats a step in the right direction. I'm just going to relax...and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy. Can't be pregnant forever!! My midwife just told me to watch my contractions, Thats all I can do now...Its all a waiting game lol
5.30.08 38 weeks
Well on Wednesday I began having contractions that were 5 minutes apart and were way stronger than the braxton hicks. So I called my midwife I was told to head over to the hospital, I was hooked up to the machines to monitor the baby and the contractions, Then they just started getting stronger so the nurse said this is probably it. Soooo I was moved into a birthing room, and there I stayed for 15 hours. Around 4 am I finally passed out...woke up and the contractions had calmed down. There was no change in my cervix from the night before, so my midwife told me to go home. She had me make a Castor oil smoothie, I took a nap for 3 hours and then drank it..did nipple stimulation the contractions became more intense and 4 minutes apart, some were 2 minutes my midiwife told me to go back to the hospital when I was ready. So I waited 2 hours just to make sure..they weren't going away. By time I went back it was 7pm on Thursday. I went straight to the birthing room, Hooked back up to the machines. I asked the nurse if she could fine out if I could walk and what not maybe to help with dilating. She checked my cervix...there was no change from the day before. They monitored me for a little while and then I was told I didnt have the stay on the machine I could walk around and pretty much do what I want...Just couldn't leave the ward. So I did some walking, Rocked in the rocking chair...watched some Tv...and just relaxed. I was exausted, sooo I figured I'd lay down for a while...then I began to notice the contractions moved to 10 minutes apart. So we did some more walking, I was getting emotional...so I told my husband to walk me back to the room and then go talk to the nurses and see if we could go home...I just wanted to go home, I was so depressed because I knew that it wasnt gonna happen that night, I didnt want my husband to waste another vacation day for friday if there was no baby. So the nurse's called my midwife and she gave the ok. They say Im expiriencing early labor, I told them Im not coming back unless I know for sure that its really gonna happen, either by my water breaking or not being able to stand the contractions any more. So I just have to deal with these contractions and rest as much as possible. Hopefully we'll be having our baby soon, but not until he's ready to come!

6.4.08 38 weeks 5 days
Had an appt. with the midwife yesterday...Still 2cm dilated, but she said I have the thinnest cervix she has ever felt! lol So I could go any day now...and If I don't have this baby by Monday we're going to talk about induction! I'm just watching my contractions and waiting! I can't wait to have this little guy, even though Im really scared about not knowing how labor is going to go. I have to have an epidural. I've read stories some woman wrote about how their epi wouldnt work and what not. This kid is huge and I really dont want to feel ANYTHING!

Ya, i've been to L and D twice now after 38 weeks, and they still won't induce for risk of c section.

polingn - Tuesday, 3 June
Yeah I know it sucks getting up so early. Yeah it was my bloody show they said to start watching for contractions, cuz they usually start afterwards. I'm not really sure how i'm suppose to "watch" for them haha but thank you and good luck to you

knockoutmom - Tuesday, 3 June
i keep having a hard time urinating, too. i have to tilt myself forward or else it feels like im straining or something weird. i cant explain it. i think shes putting a weird kind of pressure on my bladder. i have no idea!

HillaryB - Tuesday, 3 June
Hi,just read your comment about peeing.I have to bend forward all the time.Sometimes I rock in circles also. lol

polingn - Tuesday, 3 June
I just tried that I gave my big long story to the message girl and shes like do you want me to page him or do you want to wait til he opens at 9 Haha poor girl I didn't even realize that she wasn't a nursh or anything. But thank you i'm gonna call at 9.

kerrin - Monday, 2 June
I am going back in a 1/2 hour hoping to get induced cuz my kidneys are killing me i guess i have stones and this kid is 8.5 already say a prayer I don't come home without her

kerrin - Monday, 2 June
Have you had any signs of labor again yet??

cali.momma - Monday, 2 June
oh, and ill add you on myspace

cali.momma - Monday, 2 June
yeah, ive been in labor 3 times and im already sick of the place. its annoying to be in there. my contractions have stayed at 15 mins apart since 25 weeks [[the 2nd time i was in labor]], so its hard to tell whats going on and why. they get to 3 to 5 mins a lot lately, but they arent disgustingly painful, so i dont bother calling or going in. im waiting for the gush too :P heh. even though a lot of womens water doesnt break..lol. oh well. hopefully ill be induced so i wont have to wait around

cali.momma - Monday, 2 June
so wait, what happend in l and d??

kerrin - Sunday, 1 June
OMG wasn't it the worst and biggest letdown, I can't believe we'll go through that again.

Niknaks - Sunday, 1 June
hey, wow... to think you might have had you lil one by now. I hope you're not feeling disappointed or despondent about it not being true labour just yet. About 2 weeks ago I had major contractions for a couple of hours that just disappeared and afterwards I was SO disappointed and SICK of waiting! So enjoy the last few days you have left :) you have 11, I have 9...getting weird now! Oh I'm planning normal birth with an epidural, I suppose. I'm scared to say I don't want one and then have it be too late when I really need it! My gynae told me that with the baby lying posterior, the chance of having a c section is greater... so I really hope she's turned. I'm going to remain positive ;)

21yrmommy2be - Sunday, 1 June
Thank you for the support!! Please let anyone you know that you think may benifit from the site about it. Ill be posting on my page.

I'm on bedrest because I've had high blood pressure the last few times I've been checked with some pretty bad edema in my feet and hands, I guess lying on your left side keeps the swelling and BP down. I'm being checked every 5 days now. Don't be embarassed about things slowing down....my mom said she made 4-5 trips with all 4 of us kids SWEARING this was it! Keep your head up! Man I feel like I've slept all day. About to take a shower, my Acupuncturist/boss is coming over in a couple hours...we're starting labor induction therapy. WISH ME LUCK! 97% of our patients that have acupuncture and take our herbs give birth within 48 hours...so thought I'd give it a try too.

Andais - Friday, 30 May
I wouldn't call that False Labor, it sounds like you're just in EARLY Labor...same as me. Still sucks either way though! I was sent home on Wed. and have been put on strict I guess you could call it bedrest. Lie on my left side ALL DAY, do nothing else...they just don't realize how messy my house is...

mamadimplez - Friday, 30 May
sorry to hear that it was a false alarm!! Hang in there:)
I know easier said then done:)

nic1182 - Friday, 30 May
I just read your false labor story and I cannot belive they sent you home after all that time. I would have been so upset. Im really surprised they didnt start you on pitocin or even break your water after all you went thru. I hate false labor!

musicis4thesoul - Friday, 30 May
I really hate false labor... I think that's the absolute worst thing about pregnancy. I've had 2 bouts with it also and I feel dumb every time I walk into l&d.

cali.momma - Wednesday, 28 May
oh i know itll help, but i dont want to progress and dilate and stuff from her fathers sperm. i dont know, im weird about it hah. i dont want to tell her "oh yeah, i went into labor from your daddy's sperm" bleh. i dunno :P

Niknaks - Wednesday, 28 May
Thanks, I'll definitely give that a try! When is your next appointment? Are you having a normal birth or c-section?

Niknaks - Tuesday, 27 May
Thanks so much! I'll definitely give that a try. I totally freaked out when my doc said I might need a caesarean because of it

thepod - Tuesday, 27 May
Hey, so as a headsup, the mucus plug will keep replacing itself until baby it out. Your body will just continue to make the ick in order to try and cover that area thats now exposed so nothing you can do about that ( i remember from haley how icky that is) Otherwise go out for some Spicy tye food, a glass of wine, a long walk and see if that doesn't shake junior out :)

cali.momma - Tuesday, 27 May
hah. i havent been doing much :P haha. mines tomorrow aswell.at 3:15..so 6:15 your time.

cali.momma - Tuesday, 27 May
well this walk made the hugest chunk of plug come out. day 4 of this plug business. so nasty. it was the biggest chunk too. so hopefully its the ending of it, because its really not pleasant to see a huge piece of goo on my pad..lol
