I hope it goes smoothly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-181045 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:15:16 +0000 mediagirl 181045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: oooohhhh!! Squeal!!! I'm so excited for you! What are you doing tomorrow while you wait for Friday? I can't wait to hear about your new little one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-181032 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:58:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 181032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hi June moms - just an update that baby silverlining will be here on Friday. I'm 40 weeks today and my OB was very straight forward that I have very narrow hips (which I knew), and baby is large. She said she would induce me, but that it's her professional opinion I would likely need a c-section at the end of the day anyhow - so we went ahead and scheduled one for friday. It's my biggest fear to labor for 20+ hours, and then need a c-section. I'd rather just get one from the start so I have an easier recovery.</p> <p>I dilated and effaced kind of early (37 weeks), and also have contractions that will be like 7-9 min apart for an hour, but then completely go away, so I feel like I basically haven't progressed since then, and baby's head is getting big! </p> <p>I'm really excited, but also really nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-166565 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:30:56 +0000 HLK208 166565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! I haven't been on this thread for a long time! But I have my 38 week check up tomorrow along with an ultrasound (even though I'll be 38 weeks Friday). I was checked last Tuesday but only .5 cm dilated. She's low but I haven't dropped yet :-( I'm looking forward to that since the heartburn is insane! </p> <p>My blood pressure has been elevated for 3 weeks so I've been on bed rest. Anyway, everything is ready for baby!! </p> <p>How is everyone doing? Lol, I just had to take a break to type that thanks to a strong (false?) contraction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-166558 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:27:48 +0000 mediagirl 166558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is ready. Baby just isn't here yet!! I'm 37w5d tomorrow at my weekly OB appointment. I sure hope I've dilated or something because I am soooo over being pregnant. The groin pain, swollen ankles and feet and stabbing pain down there are these awesome fun parts of pregnancy that no one tells you about!! I can't wait to meet her already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-166541 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:16:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 166541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was just going to bump this thread! I had my 38 week appointment today and LO has dropped very low. I am dilated almost 2cm and 80% effaced. Having contractions (both BH and real ones) although they are short and at least 15 minutes apart (and sometimes hours apart) so that's not too concerning, just uncomfortable.</p> <p>My doctor is concerned about swelling and blood pressure and requested that I stop working this Friday. So, Friday will be my last day at work, and good news is I’ll still get my 12 weeks after LO is born. I’ve basically worked since I was 15 (am 30 now), so even though I’m really uncomfortable and barely get any sleep, it’s going to be so weird not to get myself up for work and go to the office everyday starting next week!</p> <p>Our nursery is mostly done. My husband put the crib together yesterday and hired a maid service to come in and deep clean the entire house tomorrow. I joked with him that we’re so yuppie our nesting instinct involving hiring a cleaning service. lol I have zero desire to deep clean my own house, although my husband is all nesty and running around town checking out diapers and wipes and things. </p> <p>It is very uncomfortable to walk now – TONS and TONS of pelvic pressure. Luckily it isn’t too hot here yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-166524 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:56:30 +0000 Rock n Roll 166524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm great! 18 days until the due date... but I'm expecting her to be late. If she's on time, I will be shocked. Everything is ready and set up, so I'm pretty much just biding my time and wrapping things up at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-166457 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:39:16 +0000 leelee 166457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing good minus the enormous anount of swelling in my feet and back pain. Going to be 35/35 tomorrow and have a growth ultrasound next week (she measured 2 weeks ahead at my last one), so excited to see her little face again! </p> <p>How are the other June mommas? Anyone have everything ready for baby's arrival? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-161851 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:00:20 +0000 pastemoo 161851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you ladies doing?<br /> Looks like it's now possible for me to be a June mama, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-129026 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:37:01 +0000 Ree723 129026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Thanks for checking in! I passed the GD test with no issue and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be! I had stressed over it but that's what I get for looking it up on the internet and reading a plethora of horror stories!</p> <p>I've only done kick counts a couple of times when the LO has had a quiet day. Little bub is usually pretty active throughout the day, hence not doing daily kick counts, but when it's a quiet day, I get nervous and the kick counter reassures me a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-128188 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:51:04 +0000 cyndistar3 128188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: It was great! We had a ton of fun and I got most of tge things I needed. I still haven't brought myself to do kuck counts though because my lo moves a good majority of the time and it seems like itvwould be hard to keep track of it all lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-127645 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:05:58 +0000 mediagirl 127645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: how was your baby shower? That's so sweet that the church ladies threw you a shower! </p> <p>@Ree723: how did your gd test go? Hope you passed! </p> <p>I started kick counts this week. I haven't had to do much other than my normal routine, she's kicking like crazy right now! Last night I got the wind knocked out of me while making dinner. Craziness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-100804 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:23:06 +0000 Ree723 100804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies, I took a bit of a break from hellobee for a while but it's good to see there are still some June mamas hanging out here! </p> <p>I'm 27w 2d now and I don't start my bi-weekly appointments until 30 weeks. I have my GD test in a week and a half so really hoping that all goes well. </p> <p>I'm still feeling well and my belly has finally popped. I've gained about 21 lbs already (ugh!) but my midwives say that is spot on for what they wanted, and it's only in my belly/chest, so I'm trying not to worry about it. </p> <p>We're Team Green so no idea on the gender but we have finished our shopping list for baby and are feeling pretty well set for the bub! </p> <p>How's everyone else doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-100513 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:35:45 +0000 cyndistar3 100513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just starting my every 2 week appointments, I had one last week at 26 weeks and I have one on Tuesday for 28 weeks! I am kinda proud of myself because I have only gained about 10 lbs so far. Does anyone have baby showers coming up? The ladies at my church are throwing a baby shower for me (and another lady from the church) tomorrow evening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-100502 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:16:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 100502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my every 2 week appointments today actually. They gave me an ultrasound (LO wasn’t moving as much today/last night as usual, so wanted to make sure she is ok, which she is), and she is measuring as weighing 3.5lbs already – which sounds huge to me!! I’ve gained 20lbs total, and my OB said I should gain another 10 by 40 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-100495 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:03:01 +0000 mediagirl 100495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have any other June Moms started their every 2 weeks appointments yet? My first one was yesterday. I found out I gained 5lbs in 2 weeks (grrr) but I am measuring right on track and everything else looks great! We have less than 3 months to go!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas/page/2#post-79266 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:38:23 +0000 mediagirl 79266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are all the June Mama's doing? Everyone feeling good and starting to really show now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-51879 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:33:52 +0000 mediagirl 51879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Awwwww! Congratulations! So many girls!! I love that your husband and parents were at the ultrasound. It makes it that much more special for you. Dad's are the best. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-51874 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 10:26:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 51874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>update: baby silverlining is a GIRL! :D</p> <p>My husband and parents came to the ultrasound which was really special. My dad was sniffling the whole time and had tears in his eyes, what a big softie :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-48289 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:55:37 +0000 cyndistar3 48289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rock n Roll: Hehe thats the day our first child was conceived ;) I think it will make for a great day since we get to find out in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-48238 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:24:40 +0000 Rock n Roll 48238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out mine is February 6. I have no clue if it's a girl or boy. At first I was thinking girl, then boy, then I realized I just have no idea and hopefully I'll find out soon enough!</p> <p>@cyndistar3: That's cute that you will find out on Valentine's Day. That's actually the day I took my home pregnancy test when I found out I was pregnant with my first kid, so it kind of holds a special place in my heart outside of all the Hallmark fun. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-48114 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:36:55 +0000 cyndistar3 48114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well at my appointment yesterday we scheduled my ultrasound for February 14th! We get to find out the gender on Valentines day and I am so excited but it seems so far away because I am soooo impatient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-40163 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:53:15 +0000 cyndistar3 40163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I haven't sceduled yet but it won't be until January 31st at the earliest because my midwife alwaus waits til at least 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-40161 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:52:33 +0000 Rock n Roll 40161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know when mine is. My midwife said 22 weeks, so that would put it in the first week of February. I'm pretty excited to find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-40160 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:52:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 40160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh! I’m one day behind you MediaGirl – the big reveal is January 13th for us! I’ll be 19 weeks and a few days then. I wish they would have booked us sooner, but that’s ok, I can wait.</p> <p>I have NO intuition or gut feelings on gender, which I thought I would have by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-40155 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:47:33 +0000 mediagirl 40155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When have all the June Mama's scheduled their "big" ultrasound where you can find out the gender? Ours is scheduled for January 12th!! I will be 18w5d and we are definitely going to find out. We want the u/s tech to tell us right there and then what we're having!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-22835 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:45:37 +0000 plantains 22835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a feeling we are having a boy. I reaaaallly want a girl, but it just 'feels' like a boy, so I'm coming round to that now. I have another appointment in a couple of hours, hoping I'll get to see the little one again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junebug-mamas#post-22227 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 16:49:24 +0000 cyndistar3 22227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, my new due date is June 15th! </p>
