silv3rlining the bottoms of my feet have been hurting too!! I thought it was weird but I'm happy to see someone else has been experiencing the same thing!
add me to this list! I have a ball that I massage my feet with nightly. It's lovely.
Me toooooo, guys. It's like the heels and balls of my feet are bruised. Waaah.
I found out the mild case of PUPPP I got the last week of my pregnancy can spread and get worse post partum. Its now down my thighs, back, under arms. It's the worst, and there is nothing I can do about it but try to keep comfortable.
As I've said many times, I had a c-section with DS & the experience was awful. I said I never wanted to have anymore kids because if it. I was straight up traumatized. I wanted a VBAC so bad this pregnancy. I had the hopes of getting one but due to a few different things, it was decided by myself and 3 different Dr's that an RCS would be a better option. I've discussed (and cried) to the Dr doing my RCS how scared I am to do this and he's tried to reassure me a million times that he will make sure it's better this time. I'm still freaking out. The closer we get the worse my anxiety gets. I'm not sleeping worth a crap and my mind is constantly racing & thinking about what happened & how it could be that way again.
I'm supposed to meet with the Dr again tomorrow to go over everything and I'm going to tell him how bad it is. Maybe he can give me something to help me sleep or chill me out? Does anyone know if there's anything I'd be allowed to take at this point? I just don't know how to chill out over this...I'm running on 6hrs of sleep since Sunday and it's getting to me. I can't be exhausted like this on Friday...

Uuuggghhhh. I hate anxiety :-(
I don't know what you could take but I'm really sorry you are struggling so much! I think I would be the same. I pray all the time I don't need a CS because I would FREAK out. I'll be thinking of you and hoping you get some rest and good answers from the doctor!

It's weird when coworkers ask you if you have any signs that labor is coming soon. Like, did you want to hear about my mucus plug and the fact that I already pooped three times today?
sully326 I'm so sorry you're dealing with anxiety. I hope your dr can help! Lack of sleep is horrible, let alone anxiety on top of that. Sending you hugs!
DH was desperate for a fruit salad this morning, so we went to Shaw's to pick up some fresh fruit. Walked around for about 1/2 hour, checked out and then walked to the car. As I sat down, there was a little gush of fluid, like enough to wet the seat a bit through my yoga pants and undies...problem is, we also had sex this morning, so I'm wondering if it wasn't leftover....'residue' from that? or what? It is colorless, odorless...definitely not pee...ahhh!! Why do they not have any at home tests for amniotic fluid???
This happened at 11. We just went for a walk to get lunch, and now I'm back home working/watching 'The Affair' on Showtime. No cramps, just a lot of BH (which is normal) and multiple texts from my bff of articles explaining that water breaking could present as a slow leak.
I'm GBS negative, so I'm not in a rush to get to the hospital anyway...planning to give the OB a call around 3.
Also, re: my post yesterday, turns out the cats were just freaking out because their dry food bowl was empty. :/

sully326 so sorry you are feeling like that. Hopefully the dr is right and this time will be better. I would ask for something to help with the anxiety and sleep so you are ready to go for Friday.
sully326, I shaved my cat last week and he looks basically like this but with a fluffy head. Like a tiny, silverback gorilla. It is incredible, and squeezing him tends to relieve my stress. If you have a cat, I suggest shaving it and squeezing it.
sully326 myself and others have been offered sleeping pills during our inductions so im sure they could approve you taking some now. I hope you are able to take something and relax a little bit, even if temporary... It definately sounds like you need it
wormgerm,he has super dense fur that traps a lot of pollen/dander, and it gets really hot/humid in our apartment. We brush him, but he just gets super gross. He loves getting the buzz though, and then he struts around the apartment like he owns the place.
I feel like a dairy cow. Ivy lost 13 ounces over the past week so our wonderful schedule of sleeping for 4 hours a night was stopped and I am nursing and then pumping to supplement the nursing every two hours round the clock. It sucks having to wake her up to nurse in the middle of the night because she was being such a good little sleeper. DH walked into the bedroom last night as I was pumping and asked how I was doing. I honestly mooed at him. I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but damn, my boobs need a break.
Ditto to the dairy cow feeling, but because DS thinks every 1.5 to 2 hrs round the clock is an appropriate eating schedule. My poor bleeding nipples. All that breathing practice is for latching, not contractions!
sully326 my doctor had prescribed me Ativan which is basically a milder form of xanax. He said it is completely safe to take and I have seen on this board other women getting an Ativan to sleep when they were sent home from L&D for a false alarm. So there is something you can take that will mellow you out and help you sleep! Hopefully you can get some sort of relief soon!
Apparently I'm feeling rather ranty this week. Yesterday was townhouse we're trying to sell stuff...today it's my mother.
My mom and I go out to dinner every Tuesday. Next Monday is her last day of work before retirement to become daycare for my LO when I go back to teaching in the fall. My due date is 6/25 so in 2ish weeks. She casually mentions at dinner tonight that she'll be in town next week but then is going up to my brother and sister-in-law's the week after. The week that I'm due. With my first child. DH and I literally had the conversation last night where I said "I know we don't really plan on my mom being in the room but if I look at you and say I need my mommy, then I need her." She seemed shocked when I said I was surprised she's going out of town when I'm due. Her response was "Well, I'll only be 4 1/2 hours away." Normally you're 30 minutes away, woman! You know I'm terrified about everything that's about to happen in my life. Why would you leave town?! She said she could wait until after the baby is born but I kind of just thought she'd be around because you know, she lives here! She told me that I'm just so independent that she didn't think it would be an issue. I mean really it's not an issue but why wouldn't you think to wait until after he's born? She's going up to help out with my nephew who has special needs so it's her other grandson. Lots of conflicting feelings here. Of course I want her to be able to help them but at the same time why would she offer when she knows I'm so freaked out. So many feelings. I'm going to go consult some ice cream about them feels.

Awe I'm sorry this happened, but maybe your mom was just worried she'd be in the way or step on toes so wanted to give you some space. Either that or maybe she really didn't clue in to you needing her. My mom and I are really close and she's been a great help but she is terrified that she will step on DH's toes and really wants it to be our moment so she's trying to stay away during labor/ birth.

It's good you had a chance to talk about it honestly (and that you have the relationship to do so). Hopefully it works out for everyone!

Mine was such a slow leak I had no idea. Called the doctor and went to l and d and was induced. Definitely call due to risk of infection. Because it was so slow I actually have no idea when it broke.
I finally went in- they did the test for amniotic fluid which was negative, but monitored me for 4ish hours because baby's heart rate wasn't showing a high enough differential. They finally did a quick US and everything looks great! 1cm and 50%. I have a regular appointment today at 1:45- I think they'll do another check. I just took a 3 mile walk (to get pastries) with the H, so hoping I've made a little bit of progress!!
