Jordana Marie was born September 25th weighing in at 9lbs. 1oz. and 201/2inches long! She is healthy and beautiful and we are so happy to have her! I had a repeat c-section and I am healing well. I can't believe she is almost 1 month old, it feels like we were in the hospital just a week ago. So happy, so in love, so TIRED!

Hi! My hubby and I are happy to be expecting baby number two. We have been married for three years, and have a two year old son. I had an ultrasound at 19 weeks, and even though we never got a clear view the tech said 90% + sure it's a girl! I'm super excited, but not convinced we should paint the bedroom pink!

Congrats Mommies! Looking forward to chatting with all of you.

I know that for Stella they this works ALOT better than Mylicon drops. No I didn't ask my pediatrition becaue I was told about it from my director at the daycare I work for and she uses the same pediatrician as me so I figured if Dr. Miller told her it was ok to use then it was ok for me also. Its an all natural product to so its easy on there tummies. If it had extra not organic stuff in it I probably would have called anyways just to be safe. But if it wold make you feel better you should call your doctor. Stella still seems to fart (I say fart because the noises that come out of this girl can not be classifies as tooting!!!...lol...) but now its not painful for her to pass as before I could tell she was in pain. SHe even sleeps better now!! Itell ya I should be on a commercial for these people I love it so much!!...lol...

gripe water is kind of like the Mylicon gas drops that you can buy to help with gas only in my opinion works 10 times better!! I have noticed a huge difference in Stella since we started using it. Don't get me wrong she still has her moments when she pretty grumpy but its not like it was. I know there are quite a few different brands,we got wellments brand. This not only helps with her gas but she doesn't get the hic-ups as often either. Unlike mylicon drops gripe water is all organic ingridients so it won't harm her (not that the other drops would) You can get it at any drug store, we got ours at wallgreens. It cost us 12 bucks which seems like a lot for only 4 ozs but I promise it will be worth it!!! Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck I hope you find it and hope it workd for your little one!! OH you can also order it on-line!!

Make sure you call your Pediatrician though before you give the gripe water. Although it is a very common medicine, it still is medicine and you should make sure it's approved by your doc. Good luck

gripe water works really good to soothe a babys tummy... you can get it at walgreens or any store..

gripe water has ginseng in it, which calms the stomach. mine gets lot of hiccups but we let her because its a good way to stretch the diaphragm.

Yeah, I feel like we finally have a plan of action for little Penny's arrival into the big wide world.

Hi, I've just gotten off the phone with the GD specialist, and she gave me lots of good advice about my diet and other info. They're trying to see if I can borrow a monitor from the hospital here to check my blood sugar, or alternatively arrange to have my blood checked at the local clinic a few times and see how it's going. Regarding the c-section, we've decided to let her come naturally as long as she comes by my due date. If she's not here 3 weeks from now, they will do a c-section then. I'm still a little apprehensive, but I do feel a lot better about it all. Thanks to you and the other ladies on here ~ you've been so caring and helpful.

Oh, by the way, I normally see my GP here in town, but he's just a GP, not a specialist in any way. To see my ObGyn or midwife, I have to go to Cairns, and that's pretty far away. I saw the doctor yesterday and am not scheduled to see him again for another 3 weeks ~ and I really don't plan on still being pregnant that long! I could see a dietician there, but it's too late. I have arranged a phone consult with a GD specialist from Cairns though, and will see my GP tomorrow. See what happens - I'll let you know.

Wow, thanks mommydaisy! That's fantastic. I've copied it into a document to print and put on the fridge. There's a few things I do that are different to what's recommended here, so hopefully some simple changes will help. Thanks SO much. *hugs*

Thanks mommydaisy, I feel almost afraid to eat anything, now, but that can't be good. One thing I do have that is "naughty" I guess, is one of those small single serve apple pies, which I have after dinner about every other night, with a teaspoon of cream. Is that a bad thing to have at bedtime? I feel like I'm going crazy just trying to think how I can eat better, when I'm really SO careful already. The hospital said I should ideally go back and meet with a GD educator and dietician, but it's so hard for me to get to Cairns (I have no car, and get travel-sick on the bus) and I was just there yesterday to see the doctor!! Maybe if Baby just were to make an early appearance, it wouldn't be an issue! But yes, please, if you have any advice, I would very much appreciate it. Is low-fat milk okay, or should I switch to skim? How much fruit is allowed? How much whole-meal wholegrain bread? Thanks.

If you had strep B before, they probably won't test you again. I had it with my first daughter and my doctor said they won't test me for it this time, they will just assume I have it and treat me accordingly.

Well, yeah, I think you need to make the decision and make peace with yourself over it. If a c-section gives baby a better chance at life, then really what's to consider? You certainly shouldn't beat yourself up over it. Recovery time from a c-section is like 2 or 3 days, but you're not unconscious for those days - you can still bond with Baby and breastfeed if you want.

My VBAC babies: the first was born when we lived in the Solomon Islands, and I never even saw a doctor throughout that pregnancy. Medical care was custom midwives at a clinic and midwives were there for the delivery. It was the easiest of my labors too, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been if I'd known the risks with VBAC and how much greater the risks are with a post-term baby (I was 43 weeks when she was born).

The second VBAC was born here in Australia, but not in the same town where we're living now, so not the same doctor. I was supposed to go to a high care facility for his birth, but they were afraid labor was progressing too fast, so I delivered him in the small town hospital with only midwives present. My husband had to assist, as the cord was around Baby's neck. That was scary.

With this one, I'm hoping to have a planned c-section, but with my history of early labors, I'm afraid she won't stay put long enough for us to make that plan work. We'll see.

Good luck with yours - I'm sure you'll be fine, and really there's nothing wrong with having a c-section. The important part is having a healthy baby!

Well, I'm surprised you'd even consider a VBAC with that history. My c-section was 13 years ago, and I've had 2 babies since without a problem. I don't have GD or any reason to really anticipate problems with a vaginal delivery. But given my history, my age, my risks, the doctor says we could do it either way, with about equal risks, but he comes down slightly on the side of a c-section in terms of best outcome for Baby. For you, though, a uterine rupture is probably a more real risk, especially if Baby is big on account of your GD. I'd certainly be thinking a planned c-section would be the way to go, but of course it's between you and your doctor. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Yeah, and the dizziness seems to have settled now to quite manageable. I'm still avoiding going out on my own as much as possible, and kinda taking it easy, but it's rather boring. The days are starting to drag a bit. Still, I'm feeling okay. Nice thinking how mature our babies are now, hey! I was reading something over 95% survival if born from 32 weeks, so we really are nearly there, and gonna have babies! Still seems unbelievable sometimes...

Oh, sorry about your grandmother. Funerals can be such a difficult time, and quite stressful. Take it easy.

So far my dizzy spells have passed without incident. I just sit or lie down for a while, and then I'm fine. Doctor yesterday did more blood tests but said it's probably nothing too serious, but just to be aware of them and rest if I feel one coming on.

Hope your day has been lovely.

judi - Thursday, 31 July
Hey there, hon. You asked about my dizzy spells right before you headed off to bed - I was gettin' my kids fed after school snacks and washing uniforms! Ha ha. Anyway, I've always had low to very low blood pressure. When I go to the red cross to donate blood (I mean when I'm not pregnant) they always tell me to have a cup of coffee first so my blood pressure is high enough that I'm allowed to donate. So I'm pretty sure that's what's causing the dizziness, although I never had it with my previous pregnancies, and it does seem strange this late in pregnancy. Low BP is kinda common up to 20 or 22 weeks, but at this stage high BP is more the norm. So I really don't know. I see the Midwife and Doctor in Cairns on Monday so will hopefully get some useful advice then (this is a different doctor to the one I normally see locally who is about as helpful as a sore toe).
