Hellobee Boards

@BandDmommy: So sorry to hear! I don't really have heartburn, I think it's b/c I don't really eat much due to GD lol.

Well I made it another week since deciding I needed to take it easy! I am not doing the greatest job resting during the day as it's virtually impossible with a toddler so I still have frequent contractions, but in the evening when I'm resting it's usually no more than 3 an hour, which is fine in my OB's books. Each week without labor is a blessing so trying not to get down about the situation in general.

@BandDmommy: Mine is driven by what I eat presently. Spicy and acidic foods will cause it for me. I refuse to use TUMS. My acid reflux was ridiculous in my previous pregnancy (took protonix to settle it). If it gets to be where I can't control it with my food choices I will go back on my meds.

Fortunately, I only have 3 weeks left to be bothered with it.

@whenoceansrise: Oh dear!!! Sorry you had to go through that!! I'm glad they told me in advance about the GBS test so I still have time to enlist Hubs help with grooming, haha.

@MrsScallop: So true about labor! I don't remember caring at all that EVERYONE was getting up in my lady parts! I remember beforehand that I didn't want Hubs watching, but when I was actually in labor, I didn't even think about it!!

@BandDmommy: I remember reading about perineal massages last pregnancy, but I didn't do it... I probably should have though!

My heartburn is bad throughout the day. Tums helps me. I try to keep it by my nightstand too for the times it attacks me at night!

@snowjewelz: I recently did a ton of Christmas shopping, so I've had packages arriving all week! My entryway is a mess of boxes!!

Had my appointment with my hemotologist today and I'm back on prednisone! Just picked up my prescription and will get my platelets checked again in 10 days!

@winniebee: yay for making it another week!!!

I am suffering with horrendous heartburn too. I take gaviscon. Not sure if you guys call it something else but it's basically a thick chalky medicine. It does help a lot.

I was concerned about lady grooming the other day. I was talking to my sister about it saying I wanted to get a wax but that I had heard it can be more painful while pregnant. She somehow managed to persuade me that she can do it for me as she does her own with strips. The next thing I know, she has a strip of wax on my very overgrown bikini line and I freaked out about how much it would hurt. Turns out it was no worse than normal but it still heart a lot but what did happen is, it burst lots of capillaries in the skin and it looks like I have a massive bruise! Not good and think it will stay a long time. Apparently the blood is closer to the skin surface when pregnant. Who knew!

Went to the baby expo today and finally bought crib, car seat, stroller and lots of other things which is exciting. Also booked a newborn shoot and they insisted on taking a picture of me. So here is me at 33w 5d.

@BandDmommy: I was having all day and night heartburn about a week ago. Eliminating citrus and tomatoes helped me. Also eating more apples and not drinking too much water at once. I hear non minty gum is good too. Hope you feel better

@Mrs.Lilac: beautiful!!

@winniebee: yay for another week! sounds like things are paying off

@BandDmommy: you look great!

@Mrs.Lilac: beautiful!

@magnolia: Sounds like a good appointment Have a great shower!

@BandDmommy: super cute!

@MrsF: ughhhh. I hope that resting over the weekend will help.

@Mrs.Lilac: adorable pic!

@magnolia: have a great shower!

@Mrs.Lilac: you are brave! I can't bring myself go wax under any circumstance!

@magnolia: have a great shower! It was such a turning point bc I felt like I'm really in full nesting mode once I have all this stuff!

@MrsF: I hope she will stay in longer too. Hang in there! I so agree that at least you are in a pretty safe zone

Ugh of course I am on HB bc of insomnia tonight! And I have to be at this birthing class from 9-5!

@snowjewelz: Sorry about the sleep I can definitely commiserate. I hope your class today goes well!

I feel like I was up every couple of hours to pee which was a big ordeal because I have to collect it all for 24 hours. Not a very restful night.

@winniebee: Yay, to another week! Prayers LO stays a little longer!
@BandDmommy: awwww you look great!
@Mrs.Lilac: hmmmmm good to know about waxing......
Your picture is great!
@magnolia: Have a wonderful shower!
@snowjewelz: I was up too......... hope you get some info in your class, or find an on-call room and take a nap
@MrsF: awwwww I hope she stays in longer too!

@FaithFertility: you look great!!! I had not heard that, but honestly nothing surprises me.

@FaithFertility: you look wonderful! I actually have a skin tag on my eye lid since getting pregnant. Lovely!

@winniebee: Really?!??! Makes since though it says it happens in creases of your skin!

@FaithFertility: I have one on my armpit too! I literally just found it shaving yesterday!

@winniebee: Ugh - I feel the same way. We're watching TV after dinner and I'm eating cereal even though I'm not even hungry... Story of my days recently.

@winniebee: looking good!!!
