Hellobee Boards

@gentlelunette: I'm having them! Often and sometimes quite uncomfortable. It started around 18 weeks this time which seriously freaked me out, but my dr was unconcerned. They said only to worry if they develop a patttern, become increasingly painful, or there's blood. Water hasn't even been helping anymore- only lying down takes them away.

@gentlelunette: I didn't think I was having them, but maybe I am... does it just feel like your stomach gets tighter for a little bit? Glad to see that it's normal at this stage!

@gilmoregirl: ya, they can definitely be a bit uncomfortable. My midwife said the same so I'm trying to not worry about them and just lie down (when possible).

@Beehive: yes, exactly. I haven't found them too painful, just a bit uncomfortable and they usually go away once I lie down. They're definitely normal!

I am starting to think I sometimes have BH sometimes my belly also gets really uncomfortable but I believe it is usually the result of one of the babies changing position. Since I mainly work from home and after the doctor's orders from august only work 20h I thankfully have enough time to just lay down.

@WyattnewbabysMama: I posted on your other thread, but booo that sucks!!

@WyattnewbabysMama: That does really suck. Hopefully you get some good rec's that will help you decide! When is she moving?

My OB will actually be on maternity leave from the end of December until I am 38 weeks so I will be seeing a couple other OB's in the interim, which could be good since I'm not guaranteed that she deliver me. Yay that she is back at the end though.

Based on his frequent hiccups, I think this baby is flipping all over the place. Today alone I've felt hiccups way down low and high up in my ribs...I don't know if there is some other explanation but if he's flipping a lot it would probably explain why baby movements have been soooo very uncomfortable.

@gentlelunette: I like it.
I hope everyone is doing well. AFM, my February babies decided to make me a November momma. They came at 25 weeks. Both are in NICU and progessing with normal NICU peaks and valleys. I've had my own extended hospital stay due to complications, but hopefully I'm trending towards going home. I'll continue to pop in and out and update as I can. I'm just focusing on getting us all better so we can go home.

@tbuzz: I'll be thinking of you and your babies!

@tbuzz: oh my goodness! Congratulations and I hope that they continue to get strong over the upcoming weeks.

@tbuzz: congrats!! wishing you four all the BEST!! will be thinking of you. Please keep us updated as you can

@tbuzz: Oh wow, hope you and the babies are doing as good as possible! How scary to have them so early, hoping the best for your family as you navigate the NICU.

@Ajsmommy: Hope her party goes well! Awesome for the time off next week.
I have Wed-Friday off and we are hosting Thanksgiving with my family so we can also celebrate DS's 2nd birthday. Still need to figure out his bday gift!

Got a tote full of girls clothes NB - 9 months for this LO, so thats exciting, I'll just need to fill in with the nicer outfits and a going-home outfit yet. Also need to figure out where everything is going since DS and DD will be sharing a wardrobe and dresser (no closet), and get their room put together/rearranged.

@josina: DD is currently in the smallest room, so we're going to move her into the big room and she and little brother will share (we will turn small room into office/playroom). But holy moly cleaning out the big room is turning into fighting for me and DH! I have to keep asking him to work in there and he says "ok" and then does nothing. It's been months! I am so frustrated.

@Ajsmommy: @MrsA: I feel your pain! We are moving our daughter to a new room and the baby will get her room. So, we are stuck until that happens. My husband is in grad school, so any available time is limited. I am hoping that we can move DD into her new room this weekend and then perhaps start painting within the next week. That is my hope at least..I'm going nuts not being able to do anything since I'll be way too big to help once we can start painting.

@tbuzz: oh my goodness! Will be thinking of you guys and your little girls.

@Ajsmommy: @NorthStar: hell must have frozen over or my latest nagging fit worked! He cleared enough out of the room last night that I could get a clear photo of the sleeper sofa to post to Craigslist! Progress!
Now crossing fingers someone buys it and gets it out of our house

@Ajsmommy: so excited for Thanksgiving! We're actually traveling tonight already--dh works from home and I can too, except for days that I teach, and I cancelled my class next Wednesday. We haven't been to my hometown or seen my brother/sil/nieces in over a year, so I can't wait! Plus my best friend moved back there a few motnhs ago, it'll be so nice to see her! Our flight tonight is at 8pm though, and lo work up really early this morning so it might be really, really rough....

I had a regular appointment with my dr today and all is good! I forgot to ask about a flu shot and tdap booster though, has anyone gotten those yet this pregnancy?

@nana87: Good luck!

I got my flu shot end of October and I think she will bring up the tdap on Monday. At my last appointment, she said that they prefer to do the tdap during the third trimester as then it gives the most benefit to the baby.

@MrsA: hooray for progress! We have a desk to get rid of in our spare room and I think I might just beg someone to take it out of my house.

@Ajsmommy: @NorthStar: @gilmoregirl: thanks! and hmm, I think I'll just have to ask about the shots at my next appt. I'm 28 weeks now, so in the third tri, but it was a really quick appointment so maybe she just forgot too. I thought I remembered getting the tdap around 28 with lo1...but I'm actually glad I didn't get the flu shot now, I'd hate to travel right after it!

@MrsA: good luck with your u/s tomorrow!!
