If also hurt/ I would cramp where my opposite hip and ovary area was. Sure enough my doctor found her in that position during the c section. She would go head down but would shift over to being oblique a lot. So it honestly was just a weird unusual situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893284 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 18:50:40 +0000 Petitduck 2893284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: I commented on your other thread, but congrats again! She looks so sweet. </p> <p>Also, how did you know she was oblique? What does that feel like? My baby’s head isn’t engaged and is posterior, but also feels oddly positioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893261 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 17:29:28 +0000 DillonLion 2893261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: sweet Rebecca!! I love her outfit!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893255 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 16:01:26 +0000 cyoung 2893255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a long hard labor and an emergency csection Rebecca Marie was born 8/1/19 at 2:22 AM. She is 8lbs and 8oz and 20 inches long. Her head is 14 inches!!! She is so sweet and just one of the most relaxed, alert babies I've ever seen. We love her so much. I failed to progress in labor because she kept going oblique and couldn't drop. I dilated to a 9 and labored 17 hours. </p> [attach=9403/19/pvkt2v.327x600.20190801_155925.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893166 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 07:05:54 +0000 Petitduck 2893166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ml123: these look quite cool. I’m trying to figure out what to get for myself pp. I don’t think these are available where I live so I’m contemplating depends but don’t know how to choose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893165 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 07:05:10 +0000 Petitduck 2893165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: congratulations! Glad it all went well and the csection went well because he was so big. That could have been a scary vaginal. I’m so looking forward to baby snuggles. It seems so far away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/10#post-2893164 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 06:36:40 +0000 Ml123 2893164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you guys see this? It looks SO much better than the hospital underwear. I feel the need to share with every pregnant person I know.

It was but she keeps changing positions. I think she is sideways right now. I could be wrong. I'll find out next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889928 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 13:24:36 +0000 DillonLion 2889928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: my belly was rarely a nice, round shape during my first baby (a girl) and she was mega low (and I weighed a lot less)</p> <p>This one has been a basketball the entire time and I'm already 10 lbs more than when i delivered at 41 weeks last time (34 weeks today). He's also really high.</p> <p>Bellies are weird, man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889874 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 06:05:51 +0000 cyoung 2889874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: my friend had 3 c sections and she said planned ones are so much easier. She said it's super chill. She had an emergency one with her first daughter and she said it was so hard. </p> <p>I could also give birth in July. My doctor will probably induce me at 39 weeks and I have a few days that week left in July. We will see. I also could have her then if she comes early. (Doubt it) </p> <p>Also my belly looks so weird this time around. It's not super high like my other kids were </p> [attach=9403/19/pu2c5s.480x600.IMG_20190703_054148_207.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889852 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:51:11 +0000 lioness21 2889852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smuckers: Thank you for adding me 🌷<br /> @DillonLion: It's so close!

We have the exact same symptoms :)</p> <p>I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow :shocked: and we are still looking at a 37 week induction/possibly a scheduled c-section (had an induction and vaginal delivery last time so I'm worried about recovery with a c section but skipping labor and going right to a scheduled c section would be easier on the front end I guess . I had pre eclampsia last time and high blood pressure this time so everyone is on high alert.</p> <p>I have another appt/growth scan/non stress test tomorrow and should get the official word on the game plan. </p> <p>If 37 weeks is the plan, then I'll give birth the last week in July!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889763 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 11:12:31 +0000 smuckers 2889763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome @lioness21!</p> <p>:heart: :goodluck: August 2019 :goodluck: :heart: </p> <p>• Cyoung - Aug 3 :girl:<br /> • Petitduck - Aug 6 :teamgreen:<br /> • Lioness21- Aug 9 :boy:<br /> • MenagerieMama - Aug 12 :boy:<br /> • DillionLion - Aug 14 :boy:<br /> • Smuckers - Aug 15 :boy:<br /> • NDEPET - Aug 17<br /> • Cake2017 - Aug 19 :girl:<br /> • Doodle - Aug 25<br /> • Mrs. K - Aug 29 :girl:</p> <p>:heart: Sending love to LAZB :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889742 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:47:53 +0000 cyoung 2889742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: yes I'm definitely excited. You never know though. I still may go to 40 weeks. It's my 3rd baby and my others never came early so we will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889730 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:06:57 +0000 lioness21 2889730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: omw! Are you scared or excited?<br /> I think I've been feeling baby drop as now and again a have a burning sensation in my pelvis, I think they call it lightening? And since yesterday I've been getting a weird cramp/spasm in my left hip 🙈 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889709 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 07:06:47 +0000 cyoung 2889709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: I understand that feeling! </p> <p>I've had some cramping and backache and I may have started to have my show last night. We will see what this week holds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889699 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 06:07:41 +0000 lioness21 2889699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: Thank you for responding 😄.<br /> I'm feeling good. I'm currently on holiday, but I go back to work next week for 3 weeks before I'll go on maternity leave, so I've been relaxing.<br /> I'm at the point now where things are uncomfortable. My bump is in the way, my clothes don't fit anymore, it's hard to do things like put on underwear, shoes and shave my legs and I've been struggling to fall asleep/stay asleep! Can't wait for this baby to come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889698 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 05:59:08 +0000 cyoung 2889698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioness21: never too late! Welcome! It's kinda quiet here but I check daily. How have you been feeling. I'm due on the 3rd of August and I'm 35 weeks and a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2889693 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 05:13:22 +0000 lioness21 2889693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi August 2019 moms! Am I far too late to join?<br /> I created an account on this site last year, we were NTNP, and then switched to actively TTC in October 2018, during which I had an anovulatory cycle. However, because of some life changes, we decided to wait a little longer to TTC. Well surprise, I fell pregnant the next cycle!<br /> I am currently 34w4d with a little boy, my due date is August 9th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2888052 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 12:53:06 +0000 cyoung 2888052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I'm glad the move went well. @smuckers: I'm glad you are feeling better rand not as nauseous. </p> <p>I've been having irregular contractions since yesterday but nothing to make doctors worry. I've had no bleeding, spot or mucus plug, or water breaking. They also are not super painful so who knows what my body is doing. They keep starting and stopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2888019 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 09:15:09 +0000 smuckers 2888019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also feeling huge over here. 32 weeks on Thursday. </p> <p>FINALLY haven't been feeling nauseous all the time as of like, a month ago. But started getting wicked swollen feet by the end of the day as of a month ago (just due to the weather getting warmer, my BP is perfect). </p> <p>So because of my local hospital's BMI cutoff (I am a lady of size), I have to switch providers. I knew this going in, based on what happened with my first kid, so it's not a surprise. I actually picked it this time because I was so happy with my prenatal care locally, and my hospital experience last time was wonderful. The biggest problem is that the place they transfer me to is an hour away. </p> <p>This wouldn't be a big deal, except that A) I have little to no PTO left to accommodate 2 hours of drive time for EACH appointment, and B) my last birth (which was my 1st), I went from water breaking to baby in my arms in less than 3 hours. Local dr's are going to be recommending to the farther drs that they induce at 39 weeks if my cervix looks favorable. </p> <p>Another, much smaller problem: the farther office can't see me until July 11th. Just over a month before my due date. I'll be seeing the local office until then (works for me!), but like, come on guys. Going to cram 2 appointments into the first day (apparently I have to have a nurses appointment and a dr's appointment?), then going to do a hospital tour while I'm there (they redid L&amp;D since I had my last baby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2887945 Mon, 17 Jun 2019 11:14:01 +0000 DillonLion 2887945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: move went fine!</p> <p>Had a doc visit today and they want induce at 37 weeks due to baby measuring large and moderately high blood pressure (last full week in July) and I have mega mixed feelings about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2887906 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 07:34:44 +0000 cyoung 2887906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: I feel like you descibe me. I'm potty training my son right now. I have 2 toddlers and it really is no joke. I dont work but I went to a family reunion yesterday and a lot of people were surprised I wasnt due sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2887902 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 00:12:04 +0000 MenagerieMama 2887902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just feeling ginormous. I'm almost 32 weeks and almost daily at work (I work in healthcare) I have multiple patients shocked I'm not due within weeks, and one who almost didn't believe me I'm not having twins. I didn't feel this way with my other 2 pregnancies, so I"m not sure if it's just this way now that it's my third, or it's a huge baby I'm growing, or I just need to quit the ice cream! Either way, it's rather demoralizing. I'm also just feeling way more worn down. Being this pregnant with 2 kids, one of which a very saucy 2 yo who we started potty training, is no joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2887838 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 08:35:36 +0000 cyoung 2887838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I'm doing good today. It's been a whirlwind these last few weeks. I just think my body really struggles in the 3rd trimester. More so then normal lol. I've had some dizziness and heart palpitations which we found out was from low sugar. I have to eat small snack regularly or I get so dizzy I almost pass out. I've also been having my irritable uturus act up again. I'll have contractions for hours. They dont do anything yo my cervix though. More annoying then anything but besides all that baby girl looks great. I'm measuring ahead too from my last 4D scan. It was at 30 weeks when I got it and she was measuring 32 weeks. She was already 4lbs then. Boy was she chunky. I'm 33 weeks tomorrow and I have an appointment today. </p> <p>How was the move? Did it go smoothly? I'm glad your blood pressure isn't dangerous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2887759 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 12:34:53 +0000 DillonLion 2887759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How's it going, ladies?? </p> <p>We moved a couple of weeks ago (Dallas to Chicago) and are getting settled.</p> <p>I am 31 weeks but keep measuring way ahead (final height had me at 5 weeks ahead at my last appt)</p> <p>Blood pressure has remained slightly elevated, but nothing major/dangerous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-2019-moms/page/9#post-2886209 Fri, 31 May 2019 20:01:46 +0000 cyoung 2886209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for all the posting. We did a 4D and she looks great!! She is 4lbs!!! I'm measuring almost 32 weeks...31 weeks and 4 days exsactly. I'm actually 31 weeks tomorrow...she is a big baby lol. She also in an oblique position. She needs to turn. </p> [attach=9403/19/pseauy.600x407.20190531_200105.jpg]
