I'm so happy for you :) congrats :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1399701 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:23:16 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1399701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: @Honeydew: Thanks! I was a little disappointed when he first told me, but honestly, I was so tired and not feeling good that I just wanted to meet her asap. I was first in line to the OR, so we just went in and did it! There ended up being 3 more c sections after me, so I was lucky I didnt have to wait. </p> <p>So Lillian Adele was born at 4:52. She was 8lb 14oz, 21 in long! She ended up having low blood sugar because of her size and had to be whisked away for the meconium and to get her blood sugar levels tested. So for about 4 hours I didn't get to see her, except for about 20 min we did skin to skin and tried to latch, but she wasn't having it. :( </p> <p>But I finally got to see her and hold her at about 830pm! She's so cute and her blood sugar levels have stabilized from a little formula syringe. We got her to latch on and it seems like she's doing really well with it! I need some practice though. :) </p> <p>We are so happy and exhausted. Looking forward to this new adventure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1399556 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:42:27 +0000 Honeydew 1399556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug : wishing you good luck as you get ready to meet your little one. I just went through the same as you, not progressing fast enough and ending up with a c section/fever. Definitely stay with the meds. Also walking as much as you can handle by not pushing yourself too much helps the healing process. I just hit the 3 week post c section and was off meds completely at 2 weeks and walking really well at 10 days post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1398849 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 17:17:02 +0000 MamaBehr 1398849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: you get to meet your LO soon! Make sure to take recovery easy. Be vigilant with your pain meds and don't do too much when you get home. If you have questions or concerns about a csection let me know! (And if you feel disappointed about it, that's pretty normal too. I was disappointed in my first csection) please post a pic when you can :) so excited for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1398791 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:52:23 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1398791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: @Navy_Mommy: looks like it's going to be a c section. I'm just not progressing fast enough and baby is getting tired and I'm developing a low grade fever. Plus they think she's big and can't get low enough too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1398083 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:05:36 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1398083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: my first labor was very slow like that. The end is near!! Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1398066 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:58:05 +0000 MamaBehr 1398066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: that's soo exciting!!! I hope that even if it's slow it doesn't hurt much :) I'll be thinking if you and checking this more frequently than I want to admit to see if she's here!! GOOD LUCK!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1397956 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:33:09 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1397956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: crazy night and morning! I only got about 2 hours sleep before contractions started up. I finally said uncle at about 330 because they were really intense and the floor was busy and I didn't want to miss it. It took 3 tries to place it and I ended up getting a hot spot on my hip and it was terrible! My water broke naturally about 30 minutes after the epi was placed and there is a little bit of meconium in it. Anyway, they tried all sorts of things to get my hot spot to go away but nothing was working, so I to get another one placed by a different Dr. This one actually worked! Thank God. I was able to sleep solidly for a little bit. The only thing is that Lily is being particular about the level of pitocin and the contractions it's bringing. So they turned it off for a bit and now they have it at a 2. Pretty much they said it'll be a low and slow labor. My Dr is coming to check me in a little while and hopefully I've progressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1397057 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 03:25:56 +0000 MamaBehr 1397057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: that's exciting!!! If you do get verbs dial, I got it with my first pregnancy and I was at a nothing, within 12 cm I was at a 6! So hopefully it works for you like that :) you are going to have your sweet LO soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1395785 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:13:35 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1395785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I woke up this morning at 2am with contractions and part of my mucus plug came out. I got good consistent contractions for about an hour and a half at 7-8 minutes apart, but then they started spacing out and by 8am, they pretty much stopped. I went in to my Dr appt and he checked me and I'm at 2cm, but he is on the fence about placing the cervidil. So he told me to go home and walk and see if I can get contractions started again and if they do, to come in for another check to see if I'm at a 3. Otherwise, I'm going in tonight to check in at the hospital and get the cervidil placed and induce tomorrow morning. </p> <p>I was so hopeful this morning! Sigh. </p> <p>We went walking at the mall for 1,5 hours and it was SO difficult. Going to try to nap this afternoon since I only got like 3-4 hours sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1393801 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:54:49 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1393801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lil owl: Aww oh no. :( I hope you feel better soon so you rest up for tomorrow! I'm being induced for sure on Tuesday, but I have another appt with my Dr tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. I'm so excited for both of us! We get to hold our babies soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1393782 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:32:28 +0000 lil owl 1393782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My induction is scheduled for tomorrow 7:00 am (after a failed natural induction (whatever this really is) by my midwife yesterday) I feel like crap. I threw up all night/day and I'm terribly tired. I have no idea how to get through tomorrow.... :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1392521 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 17:41:18 +0000 Emsmems 1392521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>January Due Dates:</p> <p>1/4: TiffanyAnne<br /> 1/4: Lately - GIRL<br /> 1/14: SuziMo - BOY<br /> 1/24: PinkPeony921<br /> 1/25: Lil Owl - BOY<br /> 1/26: AbbyDabbyDoodleBug - GIRL<br /> 1/29: AmandaLynn - BOY<br /> 1/31: DeannaB1</p> <p>They're here!

My friend came to take pictures. I actually went from 6 to 10 very quickly so I was at 10 before she got there. Didn't feel the need to push so we waited while my body labored down for a bit. Then I only pushed for about 20 minutes with no tearing at all so I was actually really surprised when he came out,haha. I'm pretty sure I was saying, "hello mister, I'm your mommy" in this picture, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1387106 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:00:29 +0000 creativemomma15 1387106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: congrats!

Lol. </p> <p>Had my appt this morning and I'm still the same as last week. Made an appt for Monday morning and if I'm still the same, he'll put me in the hospital that night and do cervadil and break my water in the morning. Hopefully I'll have improved and I will just go in Tuesday morning, or even better that I go into labor naturally before then! But he said for sure by Tuesday I'll have her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jan-2014-due-dates-and-appointments/page/19#post-1383608 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:53:11 +0000 MamaBehr 1383608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: You are in my thoughts! I hope you ended up going into labor! </p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: I remember (when I was working) getting those dumb questions when I was only 36 weeks! Some people think they are so clever, when in actuality you hear the same comment about 50 times a day!
