dogmama22 so jealous of your "reg" status...I feel like it's going to be forever to get there! In reality, I bet I'll only need a few sleepless nights with the little miss once she's here to catch up;) Congrats!
Thanks ladies! I'm in the room all hooked up, blood drawn and urine collection started. I'm just starving. I've had a couple non consistent contractions but nothing crazy and my first blood pressure was actually lower than normal for me. Lol
+1 I dug a coloring book and crayons out of the basement the other day. It's such a calming activity.
Well apparently my dog feels strongly about me not coloring. He just hid my crayons under the blanket and pushed the coloring book on the floor. Here's a video of his cuteness/ ridiculousness. youtu.be/LLRtemy__9k Also I believe that's my 500th post - I'm finally a regular!!
I am on tapatalk and am only able to use this app. Is there a way to tell your posts and what status you are? I am probably still a newb.
maddib congratulations on such a beautiful little baby. I love your honestly and despite your experience being absolutely horrific I have the upmost respect for you for your positive attitude - the fact you went through all that and yet you still say it's worth it (and your home and healing) makes me feel like I can do this birthing malarkey too. Well bloody done x
I really feel every moment was worth it! You definitely will too! It's like I can remember the experience and am glad it's over but it's not really there ya know? I don't know how to explain it. But I am so happy right now !! My pain level is really small and all the pregnancy aches and pains are gone!! Woohoo! I wondered if they would ever go away ! And I may not be getting a lot of sleep at night but I nap a little with her during the day so it's not so bad. And I prefer getting up in the night now in no pain compared to all the times being pregnant! Lol. You will do great! When is your EDD?
Well ladies, I will be checking into a hotel this evening with husband and dog in tow. We wanted to refinish our bathtub before baby, and the company assured us that as long as I was out of the house for 6 hours or so the fumes would be fine. The only day we could make work with our schedule and theirs was today. I'm working out in our garage today to be out of the house, but went inside for 1 minute to get a glass of water and the fumes were OUT of control. I called DH and said, absolutely not, none of us are staying here tonight so off we go. Clearly we didn't think this through because I really don't want to have to spend tomorrow night at a hotel too since we go to the hospital on Friday morning for my C/S. Lord... sometimes we are not the brightest people.
Oh no! I am sorry you have to deal with that so close to having your LO. I hope it clears out soon so you can go home for a little before LO gets here!!

I couldn't find it on tapatalk. I had to check in my browser when I knew I was getting close.
budders I'm exactly the same. It doesn't help that my furballs have been extra snuggly lately. I just keep telling myself that they're going to be excited that I'm bringing them a new friend.

Thanks! MH came home from work after I called him to assess and apparently it may be a case of pregnancy nose vs. actual smell because he basically said there's just a faint smell. Either way, we are still going to the hotel tonight because he knows I'll be paranoid all night convinced I've poisoned myself and/or LO but we should be fine for tomorrow to spend our last night at home!
This may be better for SQS, but I haven't felt much movement overall today. It's there, but so much less than usu--- I had cold water and ice cream for lunch trying to perk up baby!! Still, very minimal.
I have been busy, but yesterday kid was crazy with movement and this is sooo different. ( everything was fine at my appt 24h ago)

I definitely understand and would be the same way. And even if by chance it is just pregnancy smell you don't need to be constantly bombarded with an unsatisfying smell in your home and really don't need the extra worry because let's face it we're women and mothers already and we worry!!

I'm probably being paranoid.
Sometimes I think when things slow down baby's back is at the front of my tummy so although the movements are there they aren't as noticeable.
I had a glass of coke, and he moved more. This is the quietest he's been in weeks!!
Anyone else have no appetite at all? I just had to force myself to eat an apple and some cheez-its because I was getting light headed. I had absolutely no interest in eating though.
I was just trying to explain this to my sister and she thought I was crazy. I feel like I have no appetite and no room for food. I can't really tell that I need food until I hit that low blood sugar point. I'm trying to just stick with a schedule for eating to make sure I don't hit that point.

Your a legend and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. I am 38+1 (due June 16th). I have had a lovely, easy pregnancy so I guess I'm waiting for something to go wrong. I'm going to take a leaf out of your positivity book! x
@jemomma, my appetite is really low too. I've been snacking on banana bread and fruit at lunchtime the past few days instead of eating a real meal, then forcing a regular sized dinner down when I get home (usually resulting in heartburn). I've been told it's normal at the end of pregnancy, but I still feel guilty about it.
Edited to add: maddib, I just went back and read your birth story...I'm so glad both you and Abby are ok!!! What a trooper you are! Your girls are lucky to have such a tough mama. T&Ps as you continue to recover!
@jemomma Yep. My appetite comes and goes but its pretty much gone. I hit a few weeks where I didn't wanna eat anything but had to. Now it goes by the day. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat and some days I can't get full...it's aggravating. FX you can enjoy your dinner tonight!
mcp6286 - I'm feeling incredibly guilty also, like I'm malnourished or something. I never experienced this with my first 2, so I am completely weirded out by it.
On the weekends I tend to do a little better...it's the whole eating while at work thing that is really killing me. I just don't feel hungry, and if I do eat it makes baby really mad (guess she doesn't like to share her space) and then the whole time I'm teaching my afternoon classes I'm getting painfully jabbed/poked by tiny elbows and knees. Not a very good incentive to force myself to eat...
