Been a hectic few days. DD was born on Tuesday 9/20 at 39+5. She can fast and furious with no time for an epidural and barely enough time for the doctor to arrive! We are home as a family of 4 trying to establish our new 'normal'. Best wishes to the rest of the September moms, hope everything goes smoothly for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2626770 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 21:11:07 +0000 avivoca 2626770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: Yuck, I'm sorry you got the question! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2626759 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 20:26:03 +0000 Periwinkle 2626759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I received the question today I've been waiting for all pregnancy. In a store, a woman asked me if I was having twins. Um, not that I am aware of! </p> <p>Hoping everyone had a great Friday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625878 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:23:07 +0000 Periwinkle 2625878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: @MrsKoala: Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your older LO. I am so nervous about this and am trying to think of ways to give my big boy some good one on one attention, even in the very beginning. I'm hoping as the routine settles in for you both, your older children adapt nicely. Sending you both hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625752 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:46:24 +0000 MrsKoala 2625752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: second this. It's been really hard for me to spend time with my older LO because baby wants to be on the boob all the time. It makes me sad! I'm hoping to set some time aside this weekend to take My son out on our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625586 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:24:49 +0000 maddyz 2625586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: great! Lo1 is having a bit of a hard time, but adjusting. I am trying to spend time with him. I think that's the hardest part so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625584 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:23:29 +0000 Periwinkle 2625584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: How are you and your sweet little one doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625583 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 14:22:47 +0000 Periwinkle 2625583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Thank you! Yeah, these contractions are super low down. Ouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625338 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:57:26 +0000 maddyz 2625338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I had so much perlabor this time. It's really crazy making. But it did make for a quick actually labor. Which was nice but also super intense. Your body is getting ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625100 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 22:18:57 +0000 pregnantbee 2625100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Popping in to cheer you all on. You're so close! Ahem, @avivoca: and @Periwinkle: Also, for what it's worth, this time my contractions were only in the bottom half of the bump. I think they covered the entire bump first time around. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625055 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 20:09:26 +0000 Periwinkle 2625055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Even though I cannot believe the end is near either (and I am not sure I am ready for it to be over), I have done far more than my fair share of complaining! I think that's all part of the process, and one reason why this community is so wonderful. It's amazing to have the support of other pregnant women with whom we can complain together! For being such a magical time, it can certainly be an uncomfy time. Keep hanging in there, mama... you're doing great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625051 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:53:07 +0000 avivoca 2625051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: They were low, but this baby is super low. The midwife is pretty hands off right now, but if they get worse/more regular, I'll call them. My last pregnancy, I was totally cool with going late and all, but I think the stress at work I've been dealing with is causing me to contract more. I'm thrilled to be pregnant and near the end (and sorry I complain so much!) and I will miss pregnancy as this is likely my last baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625042 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:34:39 +0000 Periwinkle 2625042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Thanks :) See, I am the crazy lady who would be happy getting all the way to 40 weeks! Feeling a bit more prepared now that I had had a few days away from work to get ready, but now I could use a few days to do nothing!!!!</p> <p>I am so sorry that you've been so uncomfortable. Are the contractions up high on your stomach, or down lower? The reason I ask is that most of my contractions the past few weeks have been very low down and almost nothing at the top of my stomach yet. Did you call the midwife? Will they maybe see you earlier if this continues for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625036 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:24:34 +0000 avivoca 2625036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This afternoon was kind of awful. I had near constant Braxton Hicks contractions that were super tight and felt like they lasted for five minutes at a time. Apparently, they call this "prelabor." It was all afternoon, so my the end they actually hurt because my stomach was so sore. I'm looking forward to my appointment next week to see if they are actually doing anything other than just annoying me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625035 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:22:40 +0000 avivoca 2625035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: Congrats on the progress! I hope you have your baby sooner rather than later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2625031 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:16:50 +0000 Periwinkle 2625031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my 39 week appointment this morning and I was 3cm dilated! Now, my OB told me that she, during one of her pregnancies, had been at 3cm for a month (!) so I am trying not to read too much into it. I felt a bit sluggish today (some difficulties walking) but had some energy as the day went on. It's so hard not to know when! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624531 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 20:07:59 +0000 Periwinkle 2624531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: Now I'm curious if it means anything! My stomach has also been hurting a lot tonight but not sure if that's because I didn't eat very much today or because anything is "happening." I ate dinner late and feel a little bit better, but still sleepy. Mat try to lie down in a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624424 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:00:40 +0000 MrsKoala 2624424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: @avivoca: I totally had the strong urge to nap the day before DD was born! I didn't really make that connection before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624394 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 15:15:48 +0000 avivoca 2624394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: that's how I felt on Sunday. I got SO MUCH DONE. It was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624383 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 15:00:18 +0000 Periwinkle 2624383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: hahah re clean underwear! It's funny, I was super motivated this morning and had lunch plans with a friend but she had to cancel. As soon as I knew I had the day to do something else, I lost all energy. Ran a few errands and am going to watch my friend's son for a little bit this afternoon but could easily just lie here for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624378 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:54:02 +0000 avivoca 2624378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: Ooh, go take a nap! That was one of the things that tipped me off that labor was imminent last time. I had an overwhelming urge to nap and make sure I had clean underwear. I went into labor at 6:00 that evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624374 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:51:54 +0000 Periwinkle 2624374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: Hoping you're continuing to settle in easily! Are you home yet?</p> <p>@avivoca: Yay for air conditioning! Seriously, not a good time for it to have gone out at work :(</p> <p>I'm feeling very sluggish and sleepy at 38+6. I'm at the point where every single strange movement makes me stop and question what might possibly be going on. I am supposed to have my 39 week appointment tomorrow morning and keep wondering if I am going to make it. I'm curious to know if anything is going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/september-2016-moms/page/48#post-2624356 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:33:55 +0000 pelikila 2624356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: yay on baby boy arriving!<br /> I missed when the FB group was set up. I'd love to join. I'll PM you my name. </p>
