My water broke at 37+3 and my babe was born at 37+4. My other two kiddos were born at 39 weeks and 40+1 so I was really surprised she came so much earlier (and was not at all prepared, no hospital bag packed etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891793 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 09:46:27 +0000 cyoung 2891793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: we will see. Nothing else is happening so who knows. Some days I feel like "there is no way I'll make it to 39 weeks" and then days like today I feel like I could go another 2 weeks if I wasn't getting an induction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891791 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 09:16:57 +0000 starlitsky 2891791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: I ended up making it to my induction date at 40+1, but I had lost my mucus plug a few days before and I was dilated to 3-4 cm when I went in, and also already having mild contractions. I just needed a little pitocin to get me going. </p> <p>Good luck, sounds like baby may be coming soon! 👶🏻 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891686 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 12:21:02 +0000 cyoung 2891686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: did you end up going to labor soon. </p> <p>I've been loosing a lot of plug all morning. I also keep have an upset stomach. My body keeps teasing me I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891676 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 10:49:14 +0000 starlitsky 2891676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: welcome!! I had my baby in early July, so far I think I’m the only one this month! (until you and @DillonLion) :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891443 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:46:56 +0000 DillonLion 2891443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: same, ha! C section is scheduled for 7/25 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891384 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 13:10:43 +0000 LadyDi 2891384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: well congratulations! It’s exciting to know the date! There’s only a few of us here and most of us ended up having June babies lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2891383 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 12:59:23 +0000 cyoung 2891383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well looks like I'll be having my baby in July!! I have an induction scheduled for the 30th so odds are my 3rd baby be here that day or the 31st!! I'm originally due on August 3rd. I'll be over here I guess Haha I'm so happy and excited. Only 12 more days if she doesn't come earlier (which I doubt) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889536 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 13:33:44 +0000 DillonLion 2889536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: it was 160 and then 158 at the re check at the doc. Bottom number is always normal/low</p> <p>Everything at home is always under 120 :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889530 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 11:34:38 +0000 starlitsky 2889530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: how high was your bp? Let us know how your appt goes on Wednesday!</p> <p>I lost my mucus plug this morning but I know that isn’t always a sign of impending labor... no contractions yet but I’m on high alert for my water breaking. 😝💦 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889265 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 15:22:25 +0000 DillonLion 2889265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doc report: prognosis still the same. BP high, induction at 37 weeks (July 24). Depending on his size they may recommend a scheduled c-section. They are going to have a pretty good answer on dates and whatnot at my appt next Wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889250 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 13:23:02 +0000 QBbride 2889250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: no I didn’t have GD with my first two, with #3 I declined the test. Glad it hasn’t been too difficult! I guess really it’s a good way to be eating anyway. </p> <p>@LadyDi: can’t wait to hear of your little one’s arrival!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889244 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 12:39:24 +0000 starlitsky 2889244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: it’s been hard but I’m used to it since I’ve been on it so long! I had GD with my first too so I was expecting to get it again. I’m on insulin at night to help with my fasting numbers. Did you have GD with any of your pregnancies?</p> <p>@DillonLion: hemorrhage sounds scary but glad it all turned out okay! I’m hoping that if I need to get induced this time around, it’ll go smoothly! With my first my cervix wasn’t favorable so it took a while. </p> <p>@LadyDi: thinking of you today!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889198 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 22:11:09 +0000 DillonLion 2889198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: relatively smooth/quick since I was already nearly a week overdue. I did have a hemmorage afterward, though. But didnt need a transfusion or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889197 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 22:10:12 +0000 QBbride 2889197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: has it been hard sticking to the GD diet? Are you on insulin too or just diet controlled? I’m sure you mentioned it and I forgot! </p> <p>@LadyDi: yay you made it to your c/s date!!! Can’t believe he’ll be here TOMORROW! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889195 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 21:50:39 +0000 starlitsky 2889195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: hmm I probably mentioned it here but a while ago since I got diagnosed back in Dec!</p> <p>@DillonLion: that’s a lot for you to go through! That’s good all the tests have come back normal so far and it sounds like they just want what’s safe for you and baby. How did your induction go last time? </p> <p>@LadyDi: so exciting!! Can’t believe baby will be here tomorrow! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889170 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 17:35:07 +0000 DillonLion 2889170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: early congrats! How exciting :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889165 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 16:20:36 +0000 LadyDi 2889165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: Just wanted to say welcome! I am set to have my 3rd boy tomorrow via c section! I also have a newly minted 4 year old and an almost 17 month old. And I am ready to get this show on the road. I hope the next few weeks go by quickly for you. I am sure you're over all of the BP tests, blood draws, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889122 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 10:19:44 +0000 DillonLion 2889122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: it fluctuates like crazy. It is typically normal (under 120/80) when I take it at home (which I have to do 2x a day). But it frequently spikes at the doctor. 130s-160 on the top number and won't come down with re checks when they come back and take it again every 15 mins. That has happened twice. Each time they send me home to do the 24 hr urine catch (pee into a jug for a day) so they can check to see if I'm showing other symptoms of pre-e (like too much protein in my urine). Plus a ton of extra blood work, sonogram weekly, and non-stress tests weekly. All have come back normal so far. </p> <p>Pre-e didn't officially happen until the very, very end of my last pregnancy. I was induced 5 days after my due date. But everything was slowly creeping to that point the whole second half of the pregnancy. I guess the recommendations have changed since I had my daughter and (at least at my new practice) they aren't going to even mess with letting me go to my due date (Aug 14) because of the risks to me/baby.</p> <p>@QBbride: So how was the 3rd compared to the first two? Still feel like no induction was better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889056 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 23:02:11 +0000 QBbride 2889056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: how did I miss that you had GD? Or maybe I just forgot!! </p> <p>@DillonLion: no complications in L&amp;D. My water broke and I hadn’t had any contractions 12 hours later, so they recommended induction :( I was super bummed because I was induced with my first and not induced with my second and I had a way better L&amp;D with my second. But it is what it is!! We only spent about 5 hours at the hospital after she was born then we went home to sleep in our own bed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889054 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 22:25:08 +0000 starlitsky 2889054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: how high has your blood pressure been? Mine was good up until a couple of weeks ago when they started creeping up into the 130s/70s-80. They don’t seem concerned at this point since I don’t have any other concerning symptoms (and hopefully won’t develop any over the next week). When were you diagnosed with pre-e last time? </p> <p>I’m feeling really tired! Slowly trying to get things done, but key word is slowly lol. If baby isn’t here by my due date, I will be induced on 7/3 (due to GD and AMA). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889052 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 22:09:18 +0000 DillonLion 2889052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: congrats!!!</p> <p>I'm being induced for high blood pressure at 37 weeks. Did your labor/delivery have any complications besides feeding?</p> <p> I had preeclampsia last time as well as a hemmorage so we are trying to avoid that. He's measuring enormous so that's good, at least, ha. </p> <p>@starlitsky: Oh man, you must be ready!!!! How are you feeling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889028 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 18:30:18 +0000 starlitsky 2889028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: hi! There hasn’t been much activity here but welcome!! </p> <p>My due date is 7/2. I am just waiting for baby to come any day now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2889012 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 16:25:24 +0000 QBbride 2889012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I should update here! </p> <p>Baby girl made her appearance on June 16 at 37+4! Still can’t believe she was born a couple weeks early, I was not expecting it! We’ve had some feeding issues but I think they’re getting better. I’m soaking up all the newborn cuddles I can get, she has barely been put down since she’s been born! :heart: </p> <p>@DillonLion: welcome!! I haven’t been following the other boards, why are you being induced early? It will be so sweet to see your 6yo with her baby brother. My son just turned 6 and he is OBSESSED with his baby sister! It’s adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2888958 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 09:44:40 +0000 DillonLion 2888958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! Popping in from the August boards, as I'm being induced at the end of July most likely. This is my second baby (a boy) and I have a 6 year old daughter already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/10#post-2878571 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 07:50:06 +0000 rousseae 2878571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: that's awesome news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/9#post-2878516 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:28:53 +0000 LadyDi 2878516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: that’s great! Sounds like it went about as well as it could have! I’m sure you’re so relieved </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/9#post-2878508 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:20:47 +0000 QBbride 2878508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my midwife appointment today! Everything is good. She was super reassuring abt the velamentous cord insertion. She said the main thing was not tugging on the cord when delivering the placenta etc. Said I could labour at home as long as I want (which I had wanted to) and even said I would be a candidate for a home birth if I wanted. I would like one but I sort of ruled it out because I thought my DH would be adamantly against it. He came to my appointment today and surprisingly he wasn’t 100% against it, so you never know?!<br /> Fundal height measuring 25cm at 26 weeks and I’ve gained 9 lbs. My other babies have been on the smaller side, so I suspect this one will be the same. I do have an u/s booked at 28 weeks though to check growth and make sure I don’t have a previa (because of the velamentous cord insertion). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/9#post-2878303 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 17:44:24 +0000 QBbride 2878303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: that Muslin swaddle is adorable!! 🦓 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2019-moms/page/9#post-2878263 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 13:48:54 +0000 LadyDi 2878263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I created an amazon registry the other day...mostly for the completion discount and because i know my mom and MIL will want to know if we need anything. Anyway, I got the welcome box if anyone else was thinking of signing up. I love free stuff! :grin: </p> <p>It has an avent bottle, nipple pads, dreft sample, water wipes sample, pampers sample with a zipped pouch, honest co lotion, and a super cute muslin swaddle. </p> [attach=8262/19/pozlli.450x600.6A86E9AB-361F-41E8-9BC7-0C9D1B09EEE0.jpeg]
