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!

Yeah I have to go in to my next appt on tuesday (the 27) and she is going to check for dialation at that appt...I hope that I am at least starting to dialate. I am very ready to meet my little girl :) Anyway good luck and keep us posted :)

jess84 - Wednesday, 21 May
since getting your membranes stripped has anything else happened? yea it sounds like both our 2nd babies are bigger and are ready to come out. i still think i might do the castor oil if i dont have any labor signs by the 29th. there were old rituals that were done with castor oil back in the day to celebrate bringin on a baby like a teaspoon with orange juice and so on. I have been using my furniture to squat down and doing like 5 of those a day cus it opens up your pelvic area

jess84 - Wednesday, 21 May
your midwife is going to do it for you? thats awesome. my midwife was only talking about rupturing my membranes possibly between 37-38 weeks. so i hope something will happen. if not im going to have to do my own methods cus i would like to have him here at 38 weeks. my 1st was born at 38 weeks and was a healthy 6 pounder.

mamakristin - Wednesday, 21 May
Wow. Thanks. I was hoping i would stay the size i am right now.. but i guess the baby has other things in mind. :o) Thanks for the info. And good luck with your little boy!

jamie2917 - Wednesday, 21 May
That was just the rest Or most of your mucus plug...that is a good sign...maybe baby will be here soon :)

3girls2008 - Wednesday, 21 May
I think that if i were to walk into l and d they would get things going just kind of hoping they would start or get stronger on their own it is frustrating alot of people ask me why they didnt admit me yesterday i do like my doc but i am sort of perplexed by the whole thing lol

kelly.m - Wednesday, 21 May
Sorry ive just noticed that we are due the same day!!!

kelly.m - Wednesday, 21 May
Hiya, Well to be honest with you Id never heard of it either. It was just the fact that the midwife as my blood pressure was up it just ment that it wouldnt be that long. I didnt really get any more of an explanation than that. Obviously I called my mum when I came out and she said that with me the same happened. Her BP went up and she was told to contact if she had head aches or anything, so she did and they took her BP again and took her to hospital then she had me the same night.

Not too sure if that answers your question,maybe I should of been a bit clearer, sorry.

So are you near to your due date then?

Take Care Kelly & bump xx

tls080 - Monday, 19 May
I have been induced with my other two also. My doctor will induce once you hit 38 weeks. I have a week break from school at that time so we scheduled an induction. My son I had a few weeks off from school which was when we scheduled his induction. With my daughter we wanted to be home for Christmas so we induced her on the 21st of December and got to go home on the 23rd. Yeah I'm one of those taboo people who schedule their kids births into their lives. Some people find that aweful but it works for us.

jess84 - Monday, 19 May
so will this be ur first check with your doctor? Yea it feels good to have the baby seat in. I really wish i had a treadmill especially durning the winter time. Have a good night.

jess84 - Sunday, 18 May
Yea luckily i got my husband to listen to my hormones when i said "do you really want me to be pissed off at you if i have to have the baby somewhere besides spokane" that answereed it and he agreeed no traveling more than like 45 minutes. After this weekend as well he said he will have no more than 2 beers ojn the weekend so he knows he is the one that can drive me to the hospital. WE are putting the baby seat in the car today wont that be a surprise for my 3 year old when we pick him up today lol. BAnannas im deffinetly gonna be buying some cus those leg cramps had me crying they hurt so damn much . Thank you!!! :)

mom2aboy - Sunday, 18 May
He was on a CPAP machine (helps him breath) and monitors for heartbeat, oxygen, and a feeding tube. He is off all of them now, and is doing very well. Thank you for your comment, and good luck with your pregnancy!
