About Me & The Father
My name is Bridget and I am 28 years old. My boyfriends name is Jasper and he is also 28 years old. We have been together for 4 years.
About My Pregnancy
I have a beautiful 8 year girl. Also, I miscarried at the end of August 2007 at 11 weeks 4 days. I found out I was pregnant when I was 4 days late, I took a home test and it was instant....was funny I told my boyfriend how weird it was because I thought we were for sure Prego and it says not! My boyfriend laughed at me because I read the test wrong it was a definite positive LOL.
This pregnancy was planned. We were trying again after we m/s...didn’t expect it to happen so quick...I had a month and half off from being prego LOL.... My first reaction was “Not pregnant...sad....”, “oh yes 2 lines means positive...YEAH!” My boyfriend and daughter were with me when we found out. Our parents were excited but nervous at the same time when we told them. My first symptoms was swore boobs and extreme sleepiness.
My original due date was August 10th, 2008 but since has been changed to August 17th, 2008. We have picked out names already. If it is a girl we have picked Bianca, if a boy we have picked Alexandre.
So far I have gained 2 pounds (at 14 weeks pregnant). I lost 9 lbs in January, gained 11 lbs in February. So as of February I was up 2 lbs. I do have stretch marks but they are from my previous pregnancy. I have felt little bubbles here and there since about 15 weeks.
More....
So i made it to 9 weeks. Since we lost our baby in September at 11 weeks 5 days....i dont think i will feel safe until i pass that day by atleast a few weeks. I have been prety crampy lately but everything i read says it is normal...it is almost like a stomach ache. My nausea has left but my boobs are still sore and i started to have discharge (TMI). Im hoping everything is ok as i have real strange dreams about losing this baby. I want it sooooo bad. Today i have been having some sharp pains down below. WEIRD. I have a dr appointment today and hoping all is good. Will see? Anyone else have same type of symptoms??????
UPDATE January 10,2008
YES< YES< YES all is good. I had my U/S at 2:30 today and saw my little baby...the heart beat was strong... i think...the technician didnt tell me what it was but i saw it popping in and out of chest...kinda like a cartoon. AHHHH well atleast i can rest a little easier knowing that all is fine at this point,. I know that things can still go wrong but im happy for the moment.
DREAMS
Man my dreams have been so vivid and real...i can still remeber all of them. The other day i dreamt of my man cheating on me at a party we were both at and it was sooo real...i woke up and was soooooo bothered by it all day....i know he isnt cheatig on me but it was so weird and to make it stranger i saw the girl that was in the dream at work...i work at a college and she is a student here...how weird is that...and then last night i dreamt that i was right about the same length pregnant (10 wks) and i was at grocery store and went into labour. The babys head was out of me and they put me on the conveyer belt that the groceries go on and the cashier delivered my baby. The baby came out african american (im white and so is dad) throughout the dream the baby lightened to white. My dream was centered around the fact that i ahdnt had a baby shower or bought anything so i had nothing for the baby. It was sooooo weird but the baby was so cute and i can actuallyu still feel what it felt like to hold her and breastfeed. You think any of these dreams mean anything?
UPDATE January 30,2008
Man this pain willnot go away...day 3...When i sneeze it seriuosly feels like something inside my left side of abdomen is going to tear....OUCH! Heres hoping its just growing pain or torn ligament or something non life threatning to the babes....
UPDATE February 1,2008
Had my u/s today....phewf all is well. It was so funny the baby was upside down most of the time hiding from us so we couldnt get a good picture. The after the babes flipped a few times we got some pictures. 2 hands, 2 legs, all the toes LOL. Near the end we started laughing so much..the baby was talking to us...you can see the jaw going up and down soooo funny. Feeling alot less stressed out things. The technician couldnt see anything where my pains have been but she said i should mention to my doctor at the next appointment. Im just happy to know that my baby is okay.
Heres a pic!
UPDATE February 26th,2008
Man its been awile since i updated. So i am either 15 weeks 2 days or 16 weeks 2 days lol. At my last dr appointment he said that the ultrasound showed e being a week behind what we originally thought. So instead of my August 10th due date i would be due August 17th???? He said he would call me and let me know LOL! As for my feelings they are all over...i feel sooooo extremely fat but just in the belly LOL....ive grown alot but i still worry everyday that something is wrong.....every pain, cramp, upset stomach i think something is worng.....Im working on it LOL....My goal is that when i get my next u/s whenever that is....if all is good i am refusing to think of anything bad and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy!!!! My bf is starting to reallly come to the realization of having a baby...dont gert me wrong he has beeen soooo excited but now that he sees me belly growing he gets all gidddy....so cute! I so want to start shopping...tell me the sex lol! I eat everything and enjoy alll....i have so far gained technically 2 lbs. At my appointment on January 7th, i lost 9 lbs...On my next one February 20th...i gained 11 lbs...so i am up 2 lbs....not bad....hoping it doesnt get too crazy....with my daughter i gained 65 lbs arg. So i am down to 3 or 4 smokes a day and i love it and hate it at the same time...My quit date is this friday...ooo wish me luck! Well thats it for now as i am work and i guess i should work...Keep you all posted. I am going to add some belly pictures later as i have grown so much since my last one!
UPDATE March 11th,2008
So...i am officially a worry wart. Even though i am 17 weeks i still think that something is wrong in there. I havent heard the heartbeat since my 12 week u/s as my dr doesnt have a doppler and i have to wait until my ob appointment. I do feel the baby once in awhile but then i worry that it is just gas LOL! My belly is bigger but for some reason i swear that my uterus hasnt moved at all since like 12-14 weeks...maybe im not feeling it right or maybe i am ligit with my worries. My boobs are not as soar.....my nipples are sensitive to the cold though! I get the odd stomach ache...normal backaches and have an increase in discharge...i was told allll of this is normal.... What do i do to not worry as much. A doppler would take too long to order but i can get a fetal stethescope quiclky...i dont want to get just yet as they say 20 weeks you can hear it with that....Im thinking of getting one on the weekend...ill be 18 weeks then maybe i might get lucky???? Anyways need to vent my worries....I hate this feeling sooo much...Will i ever feel safe? Could there be something wrong with my baby and me not know this long????grrrrr.
UPDATE May 12th,2008 Wow..its been awhile since i updated! Im feeling okay i guess...i want this pregnancy to be over though! I feel fat, tired, crampy, uncomfortable, hot, etc.....all the time. My poor man has to deal with all of this...what a sport! I cant wait to just have my baby here and steat to work out that is all i think about! I guess i didnt add this before now but at my 20 week u/s it was tols that the baby is 70% chance a girl :) We named her Bianca! We ended up going for a 3d u/s at 25 weeks...it was cool! The baby was moving so much that we didnt get great pictures but we are real glas we did it. It was confirmed that it is A GIRL!

Haha growing pains seem to be the Dr.'s favorite thing to say lately. That is what mine said last week.

Yeah I have been having cramping. It really bothers me. It just comes and goes. I told my Dr. and he didnt seem really concerned so I am just trying to go by what he says and noy owrry.

I have a 3d scheduled for next Thursday. Do you have pictures that you can post so I can see what to expect? It has been scheduled for over a month now and I can't wait!!!

I completely agree with you on the mother problem. I don't think anything would make me feel ok enough to let my bf's mother in the room while I'm giving birth. Just because she is a mother and also has the same parts as me doesn't mean that I want her to see my parts. If my bf wanted her in the room I would really have to tell him politely as possible that he was SOL, and that it just wasn't going to happen. I hope you are able to help him see your side of it. Good Luck.

I just wanted to comment on your delivery room issues. It is your birth and the most important thing is your comfort. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my mother in law in my delivery room! It's definately different when it's your own mother (mine was in for my previous deliveries but this one will be just hubby and me!). I say it's entirely up to you and you alone who comes in that room with you. Stick to your guns, girl! Your comfort and Baby's safety are the most important things in that room!! Good luck!

You have all the options in the world when it comes to dad's mom. You could just nix it. She's not your mom, and I'm sure she'll understand... if not, remind her how private her birth experience was and suggest that the room was too crowded with your mom- and you'd like to avoid that again. Second, you could have her there during first stage and let her know that you'll be asking her to leave during transition/pushing/after epidural, whatever... she should be honored to be there through any of it. Finally, a bit of defense: I was there for my sister's birth and supported HER. I did not see anything below her knees until she put her legs up in the stirrups... and then only saw that, no juicy parts. If she's there to support YOU, then she'll be by your head... and you can ask her to do this so the daddy can be there to catch baby- so her job is to make him a better dad (most moms would lunge at that!). But if the idea of her being there makes you uncomf. then it's out. 100%. And kindly remind dad that if he brings neg. attitudes, he will be asked to leave as well. It is a privilege to be a dad and not a requirement to be in the room. It is your "medical experience" and no one NO ONE is going through it but you. You can ask her, "Hey, would you mind being in the waiting room while we're in delivery? Knowing I can pull you in if I need more support just makes me feel so great. And if I have to kick him out (say it in front of him) I'll have a backup...!"
That was much longer than I thought it would be! Good luck and keep me up to date!

Hey. I dont know if this is going to help or not but as far as who go's in the birthing room with you all i want to say is that the most important thing is that you are comfortable and happy. You shouldnt have to explain to ANYONE why you dont want not just your MIL but anyone if thats what you want. Its your choice. I am in the position where i am not close to my mother. I am extremely close with my MIL shes like my best friend. That being said. I never really had an issue because my MIL said she wouldnt want to be in the room. Thats not something she would feel comfortable with. I am very open with her so i dont think i would mind really. But i think its just easier to have who you want. and if that just means the hubby then so be it. Good luck and try not to stress to much. Remember...... YOU are doing all the work! :)
babybarbados - Monday, 28 April
wow, if you ask me it is up to you and only you who is present in the birthing room. It is you only that has to go through the delivery and exposing yourself to the world. you will be in a very vulnerable state and should only do what is going to make you the most comfortable. I think you should put your foot down here. This should not be your husbands choice. As for me. I would feel the same way. It is only going to me and my hubby in there. I think it is a private thing to go through and besides that, my family and his would just annoy me through the process. Let them know they can wait outside and be the first to hear all of the udates. They will then be welcome to visit you as soon as you have pulled it together a bit. Stick up for your needs! Good luck!
alexes - Monday, 28 April
no way would i let my MIL in the room and for sure she will see something-haha!you are not that covered up!
stick to your guns and ask DH if he would like hi in laws in the room if he was having a colon-oscopy or something.
the less stress on you ,the better it is for the ease of delivery and for your LO.
mcpheefner - Monday, 28 April
I would also not want my mother in law in the birthing room. I am having a c-section so it doesn't matter, but it is definitely not something I would want anybody but my husband seeing, and while it is his baby also, it is you who is naked and pushing and all that good stuff. You should choose who you need to support you - not him! There is plenty of time for his Mom to see the baby after it is born! Good luck!!!
goody2shoes - Monday, 28 April
Hi The most important thing is that you are comfortable Period. If you aren't comfortable it can have negative effects on you and the baby please explain this to him. The effects are high blood pressure for you, the baby heart beat may decrease, the baby may chage into a breech position. Another very important thing that you siad is that you and his mom aren't close so with that being said alone is enuf for her not to be there. I wish the best for you and him but you are the one that has to push the baby out. I think you should speak to you doctor about these issues and explain how yoou feel so you can have the doctor talk to him about it. Don't let him make you feel guilty. Remember what i said if you aren't comfortable as possible things can go wrong. Whats is more important to you haveinga healthy baby or making him happy?
mayxanh - Monday, 28 April
About the who will be in the birthing room. I agree with you. I wouldn't let my mother in law to be in the room. I will have my mom and my husband too. Definetly not anyone else.

Hi, I have had the paint fumes experience two times now....I didn't really think about it at the time, but now I worry too. I think our babies will be just fine though! I worry about every time I smell someone smoking and stay as far away as possible, but then my hubby was painting in the house and I was right in the middle of it. Not my brightest moment, but isn't it crazy how we worry? I am a worry wart too, but I have tried to stay pretty calm throughout this pregnancy to ease my stress level! I think your little one is just fine if she hasn't moved today. My little guy was REALLY calm for two days and I really didn't notice any movement and, like you, I started to get worried. But then the following day he had the biggest kicking episode ever!!!! I could see my belly rolling and poking out all over the place..it was great! I know how reasurring it is to feel the baby. I just figure that they get tired from all of the growing and have on and off days. I wouldn't worry unless it gets to be a few more days...then maybe baby is in distress...but more likely she is just relaxing! :) Best of luck in your pregnancy!
Beckaboo - Tuesday, 15 April
YEAH!
Girls are great! A bit more sensitive, but less work all in all. What are you doing with your basement? I still have to decorate the babys room, maybe this weekend. Have great day!
