Hi Everyone!

This will be our third girl. We have two girls 9 and 13, so it has been a while since I did the whole pregnancy thing. It was a total shock to us, as I was on bc, but here we are and it is all very exciting. Happy to see that there are so many new gadgets to choose from. Easy to fill days while looking at everything!

Updates:

July 15- No progress, she is still high up and cozy in there. So no chance of an early arrival. Fine by me.

July 9- Can't believe it, but I don't have placenta previa anymore. It was complete at 34 and half weeks and has moved completely in a two week span. So exciting! So now i can wait until she is ready. She weighs 6.5 pounds.

July 8- Can't believe it is almost over. I am scheduled for a c-section on July 17 because the previa is still considered complete.
My back is sore and I am peeing every 30 seconds. My little girl is constantly on the go.

June 3- Another scan, placenta is moving but is still considered a previa. She was sucking her thumb, silly girl! She weighed in at 3 lb 8 oz. Our next scan is June 25, so I am very hopeful the placenta will be in the right place. I am hot, I am bothered, and everything is sore. Though I still love being pregnant!

May 7- Had another scan (starting to have fun with all of my photos) and still I have placenta previa. I go back in another four weeks to see if it has moved. Other than that, I am now weighing 130.2 pounds which is about 30 more than when I started. She is weighing 2 pounds 9 ounces. I feel I am breathing like an elderly overweight person, my heart is pounding a lot harder and stairs and I are no longer companions. Had another glucose test and hoping that the phone does not ring...

March 19- Had another scan today to see if my placenta moved at all. No such luck. But it was soooo great to see our little girl again. I counted fingers and they are all there. Her heartbeat is 151 and she is 12 ounces. We have another appointment in 7 weeks to see if anything has changed. I don't mind if it hasn't changed, but it is annoying not knowing. Our summer plans are all in limbo at the moment. Such is life. We are over the moon to have a healthy bouncing baby girl. I need to do some shopping as we are off this weekend on our lengthy three country trip and none of my shorts fit at all. And although my belly is huge, seems as though my behind and thighs are not keen on being left behind, so they are packing on the weight just the same. Yikes. hehe. Overall feeling brilliant and couldn't be happier.

March 12- Got great results today. Tested negative for gestational diabetes (though I will have to test again at 28 weeks). I can't wait for my appointment next week to see if my placenta has evacuated the area it is not desired in and to see our little girl again. We leave for Singapore, Thailand and Bali next weekend and I am a bit apprehensive about the 50 plus hours of flying. And no, we are not flying first class. I am really looking pregnant, and loving it as I get so much attention. Being pregnant and feeling great is just brilliant. Sleep, no not getting any. Pee, yes, getting plenty. I have put on 25% of my weight and am now up to almost 125. However I believe that my body has gained what it needed to. I ate about the same prior to pregnancy and I couldn't gain an ounce. But our little girlie needs some cushion going on.

This little girl is quite active in her little studio flat. Lots of kicking and punching. At this point I laugh, though I reckon in a few months I might be threatening to kick back. Haha, she just kicked again as I wrote that. Cheeky little girl.

February 22- Writing in pink for a good reason... It's a GIRL! I know I already have two girls, but I love girls and am very excited. I am starting to feel a lot better as well. Losing the morning sickness but gaining aches and charlie horses, ouch! I feel her kicking a lot now which is so exciting. We found out I have complete placenta previa, so hopefully it will go away, otherwise she will not be a Leo and our travel plans will be tossed in the bin. I also seem to have a lot of sugar in my urine, and as I had gestational diabetes with #2, this does not surprise me. I am also showing big time! On our holiday, everyone could tell I was prego and thought I was at least 5 months. Nope, just eating a lot I guess.

January 29- update: Well, I was sooo certain that by week 13 all of my horrible symptoms (constant nausea, excessive belching, wind, headaches, etc.) would be gone. BUTTTT!!!! They are still here. Still, right here and in no rush to go anywhere anytime soon. Which I find very frustrating. Actually my husband probably finds it more frustrating. UGh! Our little bean looks like an alien and my husband is convinced it is missing an arm. hehe.

Hope that all mommies to be are feeling better!!!

December 21- Ultrasound showed a little bean, he/she was so cute! All is well, but still burping like a man, or like a pub full of men. My family just laugh it off, but we are going to visit in-laws tomorrow for a week and I am so worried that I am going to be belching the whole week through. That ought to impress the whole lot.

Hello I am kinda just looking at all the people who are due the same day as I am. I wanted to comment because we have a little in common my youngest will be 8 and I feel so tardy about having a baby I am excited but scared at the same time I also have a 13 year old girl whom we are going to let her come into the delivery room I think she is more excited than I am. It weird But I am ready to have this baby b/c I hurt so bad as well my back,hip, feet, and I am sick of Peeing. But good luck with everything.

I'm sure your doctor weighed the risks vs benefits of taking the drug before she prescribed it to you. Definately talk to her on Monday and voice your concerns. As far as the C/S goes, if you start bleeding or go into labor prior to the set date go straight to the hospital.

keez1979 - Saturday, 5 July
What medication did your doc prescribe for your heart? I might be able to help you out by giving you more info on it. Many physicians write Pregnancy Category C drugs for mommas all of the time. . .it's up to you whether you take it, but the benefits might outweigh the risks. I am taking a medication that is Category C, but being a pharmacist, I feel pretty good about taking it.

thanks for your reply..i am having a scheduled c-secton..because of this..unless i start to bleed then they will do whatever it takes to prolong the pregnancy..and give me steroids to help with lung growth...i have another ultrasound this week..they give me one 1x a month to watch so far no movement ..they say its doubtful..good luck in your case...and go very easy on yourself i stopped working because my job is just to much on my body..bye

Mine is female as well (though really, I don't know if it would have mattered!) and I basically got the exact same instructions as you!
The other annoying thing is I figured that since I live in a city that most people going to the hospital would walk there or take the bus or whatever but during my classes I realised that only ONE other person doesn't drive in, which explains why all of the other heavily pregnant women showed up to our classes looking fresh as daisies!

Ha, I completely understand the walking to the doctor's without anticipating any swabs or anything like that. I haven't had ANY vaginal exams the entire pregnancy and was told I wouldn't until I went past my due date. Well, I walked a few miles Tuesday to my appt and was horrified to find out that they wanted to do some swabs. :sigh:!

My midwife gave me a "birthing pool" - which is just a regular little inflatable swimmimg pool. They used something else before, , but she said this one is much more comfortable and softer that's why they do it this way. From the stories that I read on her web site I know that some women delivered in their own bathtub or even outside jacuzzi,( they just had to change to a regular water without any chemicals). I think I am going to prepare both my bathtub and the birthing pool as well as using the shower....don't know how long the labot will be.....It will be interesting thi time as there will no rush to the hospital or any other unnecessary worries connected with that (at least I hope for no complications!!!!) so I won't be distracted from the birthing process in any way. Hope you hear good news about placenta previa moving too. I read in the books (from the list of my midwife) that women with previous C-section have bigger chances for placenta previa....

lebedkat - Wednesday, 2 July
What wonderful news!!! The baby is getting ready...:))) they say with each consequent pregnancy the baby can take the position right before birth not weeks in advance as it is most likely with the first pregnancy.
I am happy for you that you are going to have a natural childbirth afterall....

nuttabutta - Monday, 30 June
i have complete previa..covers my cervix completely..little or no chance of moving..other previas that are already at an angle ..even a slight angle have a good chance of moving up ..mine does not..because its flat across..no angle..good luck to you

ang*d - Monday, 30 June
if ur going to pack cloths to lounge around in at the hospital make sure the pants are really loose fitting!! And pack a good amount of undies cause u will bleed through ur pads and undies more so than a vaginal delivery i know tmi but wanted to fill u in!! and prob. a warm rob cause it is an operation so ur temps going to go up and down!! hope that helped!! any more ?'s just ask been there done that!!

rosie08 - Monday, 30 June
Make sure to pack something comfy without a waistband, to come home in

Hi. Thank you. I really want to try to do it all natural, as pain medication all just makes me so sick! I think I may be allergic to it all. They all always make me feel so much worse instead of better. I just bought the Hypnobirthing book at Barnes&Noble and am practicing the breathing and mind exercises. I read another woman's profile on here who gave birth using hypnobirthing, and that is what sparked my interest. I'm sorry, I don't remember her name though. She just seemed so calm, positive, and serene about the whole process, I really got interested.
I hope your placenta previa goes away too. One of my friends has that. She is scheduled for a c-section on the 23rd. Well, good luck!

ang*d - Thursday, 12 June
