Monday 2/8 Randoms

[chatterbox]

I usually don't start these, but I'm wide awake and stressed.

I woke up at 2:30 because I started bleeding again (34 weeks). I called the OB triage and they want me to go into the hospital to get checked out. The problem is DH left last night for a business trip and I have nobody to watch DD. the bleeding seems to have stopped and I've felt the little guy moving a few times, so I'm going to try to wait until morning and drop DD off a little early at preschool. Hopefully they will take her. DH managed to get on a flight this morning. I feel so sorry for him. He took the red-eye last night so he could spend more time with us. He landed at 5:30 and now he's on the 6:30 back to us. It's a five hour flight. Sorry for the novel. I hope I'm making the right decision.

I am up too. Im so sorry about the bleeding. Is there any other relative or friend nearby who can watch your DD until preschool opens? If not, I'd definitely drop your DD at preschool as early as possible and head over to L&D. Bleeding this late in the game is no bueno but its a good sign you felt movement.

Hope everything is ok chatterbox

Baby's hiccups were on my right side and were pretty high last night. She's been head down for several weeks now, but I think she moved and is transverse or breach again. No bueno, little lady. Get back into game position, por favor!

Baby wad kicking me so hard in the cervix last night I was flinching and ended up doing pelvic tilts just to try to move her briefly even to releave the pain. I much preferred the discomfort from the butt in my ribs with dd because she sat so high over the foot in my cervix.
My ovia app claims movement should be less violent now. .. I think they lie.

My child refuses to drop. I keep explaining to her that we would both have more room if she does but im pretty sure she doesn't believe me and its giving me flashbacks of preteen arguments with my mom.

chatterbox sorry you are bleeding. I had bleeding from 36 weeks to induction at 37.3 . They'll be most concerned with how much, if it stops and if there's any pain or contractions. Obviously and if they can figure out why.
For me there were a few times I would have contractions and a lot of bleeding at the same time, then they'd both stop or slow down so they kept baby cooking.
Hopefully things are clearing up for you again.

Hah. My water broke with my first at 39w3d, didn't go into labor on my own, so I went in to be induced the next morning. He was STILL at like a -3 station, extremely high. I was barely dilating and almost ended up in a c section but somehow miraculously he dropped right at the last minute and I was able to push. My babies like my ribs.

My dd didn't drop until like labour. I had labour off and on for a couple days before her arrival and my doula thought it was crazy she could watch my contraction and see her butt sticking out just under my ribs.

chatterbox hope everything is ok. I'm sure your preschool teachers will understand this sort of emergency, and your poor DH! Hang in there and sending you good thoughts!

Sometimes baby moves another part with hiccups in addition to her head and if it can sometimes feel stronger than the head movement. So fx she is still head down!! I can relate to the stress of positioning

[almachs0786]

chatterbox fx for you that it's nothing and they can just monitor for a while and let you get some rest. Hugs!!

My stomach is not happy I ate all those superbowl apps yesterday.

I have eaten so bad the past few days.

[sdchick]

chatterbox, that's so scary! I hope you were able to drop off D and get in to see the doc! Please keep us posted.

[blackbird]

I'd been doing so good, keeping the indulgences to a minimum, but this last week has been a free for all. I've got to do better. The one and only thing I wanted alllll of first tri was bubbles. I wanted all the carbonated beverages. That's back now. Soda is baaaaad.

I've been craving carbonation too ha. I've had sparkling water with lemon to try to avoid sodas.

chatterbox everything crossed that bleeding stops and baby camps out in there a little longer for you! Keep us posted!

I am so mad I'm almost in tears at work this morning. I turned reports in to my boss 6-8 months ago that I'm pretty sure she never read. She asked me to have a less detailed version completed by the 20th. I sent her my first one and she said it was not detailed enough and basically asked me to add all the information from the report I submitted 8 months ago. WTF?! This is so frustrating.

FWIW, my kiddo is head-down and I feel high hiccups (well, basically full-belly hiccups). I think they make his/her butt and legs jump, too.

+1. Soda is just so much more refreshing to me. I drink a coke zero almost daily. My heartburn hates it though. Woops.

Mine either.  Apparently buffalo chicken dip is not an acceptable dinner to my colon. 

[blackbird]

The swelling officially hit yesterday. I can definitely see it in my fingers/hands, and my shoes were snug when I put them on this morning. Ugh...is it March yet??

My rings have felt super tight the last few days.  I think its time to put them away for the next 7ish weeks.

Anybody else get crazy hot flashes along with their BH contractions? I'M soo hot right now. Both literally and figuratively.

My dear sweet husband said my fingers look like "little sausages."

I don't know if it was BH related but I woke up in the middle of the night this weekend so sweaty I thought I had peed myself or my water broke.  Nope.  Just night sweats.
