New "Mom's to Be" Thread!

I call that the "stick 'em up" position.

yeah, that's good too!

LOL I sleep this way now!

Too funny!

Watch your sodium intake, drink lots of water and elevate your feet when you can! That should help a little. Make sure you let your doctor know at your next appointment about the swelling. They like to know about that stuff!

Your blood pressure sounds a little high to me, but mine has been extra low the last 2 appt's 90/60 and 90/50.

I agree with what Lisa said -- definitely tell your doc...my OB was already asking me about swelling and checking my feet/legs at my 12 week appt.

Well, normally my BP is really low but unfortunately we have some bad news...DH was let go at work and Friday was his last day. So I'm a pregnant SAHM with an unemployed hubby. Just a bit stressful. I know he'll get a new job and will trust God in the meantime but, unemployed takes on a totally different meaning when you are SAHM and esp when you need that health insurance (w/o paying the big price).

Believe it or not, I've been in your shoes. Both DH and I got laid off within 2 months of each other 2 years ago. I had just had DS#1 and no income.

File for unemployment ASAP to help and contact every family member and friend you can to get the word out that your hubby needs a job.

Good luck!

I've had swelling in my hands and feet for the past two days. Well - I'm guessing it's swelling. My ankles and feet are puffy and when I press them it leaves indentions in them... Fun stuff!!!!! Is this normal?? My blood pressure is fine I guess - it's been around 150/80 yesterday and today.

Has your BP gone up? Sounds like the swelling is pitting edema. I'd call your doc. You're probably okay, but better safe than sorry, right?

Thanks! We are trying to network. It's hard when I'm not in control . DH was also very unhappy in his job (first job as a manager ...he realizes he is a tech guy, not mgmt) so this is actually a good thing, in one way, too...

My BP started out low - around 90/50 - 110/65 at each appointment but has progressively increased over the last 3-4 appointments. I have an OB appointment this Thursday and was planning on discussing it with her then unless it gets worse.

My mom is a pharmacist and she didn't seem to think my BP was high, BUT when I went to the OB last time it was 152/75 and they thought it was high and made me lay down for 20 minutes on my left side and then checked it again and it had come down. I've cut the salt completely and have been drinking water like it's in shortage so hopefully that'll help!

I'm glad you are going on Thursday. They will ease all of your concerns!

I'd be concerned that you have pre-eclampsia since your BP has gone up so much and you have pitting edema. Hopefully not, but I would call your doctor today, just in case.

Good luck at your u/s tomorrow!

 

[smilie]

Hi ladies. I don't check in here often. Tomorrow I have an appointment/sonogram to check the babies position. It's been breech and they want to make sure it's flipped, I don't think it has. If it hasn't, they'll schedule a c-section for the 22nd. I'm hoping that tomorrow we get another chance to see if this is a boy or girl. I've had 3 ultrasounds so far and we have a very modest baby in there that won't show the goods!

I go for ultrasound tomorrow, so date may change a little.

How did your ultrasound go?




How is everyone feeling today?

 

[Jrabbit910]

Hey everyone... Hope all is well...

I received an email today from destination maternity regarding Olan Mills Photography... they sent a coupon to me for a FREE potrait session (one pose only) for baby under 3months... I never heard of the company but when I checked online it seems this is the photo booths in Kmart. If anyone is interested in the email let me know and I will email it to you.

Have a fun day to all...
