Newest "Moms to Be" Thread

[december]

I wish I could "enjoy" this pregnancy more, since it will be my last. I love that I'm pregnant, and I'm starting to feel the little one wiggling around. And I'm so looking forward to my sonogram on Tuesday. But I'm so sick of vomiting! I held down NOTHING yesterday, and gave up and went to bed at 8. I really wish my body had a different response to pregnancy. But if this is what it takes for me to make a healthy baby, so be it.

Wasn't trmcguire supposed to be induced yesterday? I hope all went well.

And this thread has been fun for me, too. I'm sure I'll still be reading after I'm no longer a mom-to-be, but a mom.

I was in the same boat as you, December. A whole lot of vomitting! However, even then, I enjoyed the pregnancy. Maybe I'm just strange.

Good morning! How is everyone out there today?

Anyone pop out any babies in the last few days?

I have officially reached the uncomfortable stage. Yesterday, I had cramping so bad, I was almost wishing for labor (just so I would know that there would have to be an end to it ). Family is coming in 2 days and the house is a wreck. I don't have any energy and the kids keep getting up between 4 and 5 AM .

Ok, I'm done whining.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning! I have not kept up with the thread in the last several weeks...I hope everyone is well.

Lisa, just get done what you can. I am sure you're family will understand. I hope you get comfortable soon...if that can happen can't remember since my first is already 10 years old!

I am at the stage where I go to the doctor every 2 weeks now...everything has been great. I have gained too much weight though. Oh well!

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday!!! Next year we'll all be doing the Baby's Firsts....

 

[Piecey]

welcome Veronica!

Sorry you're still so sick December and Sarah. I hope you guys feel better soon!!

This has actually been a good day. I haven't vomited once! Dh and ds11 left this morning at 5:30 to go hunting, and I got up and got dressed for shopping. Dd9 and I were at the mall (an hour from home) at 7:30, and I took her to Libby Lu for one last makeover before they close down. She got the works, which included everything from every makeover they offer, for less than $30! We went all over town with her in a blond wig, pink eyeshadow, carrying a fake dog. She loved the attention.

Today is my mother's 62nd birthday, and my sisters and I are thowing her a birthday party-the 1st one she's ever had. I went by on the way home, and my father had gone to pick up a puppy he had bought her. I waited with her so I could see it, and he showed up with 2! She had wanted 2, but at $300 each decided to just get one. Their 37th anniversary is today, too, so he got both! She was so excited, and I can't wait until the party tonight! I just hope my sickness keeps holding off, at least until tomorrow.

I TOTALLY understand. I was bawling the other other day talking to my husband about it. This is my LAST pregnancy, I want to enjoy it.. But its really hard when I cant even roll over in bed, or go to the store.. I am so huge, and uncomfortable, and I have contractions if I do ANYTHING. How can I enjoy this, when I have never been so miserable in my life??

Have you asked about meds for the morning sickness? They might help a little.

 

[december]

I've been on Zofran, Reglan, and Phenargren! I probably spelled all those wrong. My dr. says it is just normal for me, and as long as I don't lose too much weight it will be ok. Maybe today is the turn-around I need. 4:22 and no vomiting!!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement! I made a list and whatever doesn't get done, doesn't get done. The cramping is an everyday thing now and I'm not going to push it.

Besides, today is my oldest son's birthday!!!! He turned 3 years old today!!!

Happy Birthday Dylan!!!!!!!!!

I received an e-mail from a friend who's due two weeks after me. She was telling me about her ultrasound. It sounded a little different than mine. The one thing that struck me as odd was that her DH wasn't beside her for the whole thing (They called her DH in part way through.) and she didn't get to see everything the tech was doing. (We could see the screen the entire time and she explained every little thing to us.)

DH was next to me the whole time. He even drank the same amount of water ahead of time that I had to drink. I'm sure he would have put on a hospital gown too if he had been offered one. He's been beside me for every single prenatal doc appointment. I think I would be quite upset if he had to leave for part of any of my appointments. It's his baby too!

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else's ultrasounds worked this way.

 

[Disney Ron]

My DH went to everyone prenatal visit for DS and plans on doing so for this one also. My ultrasound was similar to your's my DH was next to me the whole time watching. DH did leave the room before my internal on my first appointment after he had seen the baby. I love having him go.

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Hmmm....maybe they did some sort of internal exam with her? I haven't had that done. Even still though, I can't see why DH couldn't stay.

 

[Disney Ron]

I was due for a Pap. The Dr. said she was done with baby exam and he was welcome to stay if he wanted...that he opted out of the room for.

Oh ok. I had a PAP too in my first month since I was due too. DH didn't come with me.

DH only went to hear the heartbeat once. He'll go to the ultrasound, too, though.

He left for the internal and hasn't gone to any of the others- they've all been checking the heartbeat, my weight and asking if anything has changed (Nope) and I'm out within 10 minutes. Guess we personally don't see the point in him leaving work for an hour for that sort of thing!

But my friend wasn't talking about a prenatal appointment. She was talking about her ultrasound.

I admit. DH and I are probably abnormal with how joined at the hip we are. I can see why fathers wouldn't see the need to be at all the prenatals. I always just book mine for DH's days off because he does like to go. He usually has way more questions for the doc than I do. Maybe because he does pretty much all the cooking?

I know.

I don't think it's abnormal at all. DH just doesn't get days off, unless he uses vacation. He works for our federal government and has a "Flex Schedule" but by the time he gets out of work and to the hospital (which is close to the mall and crazy right now ) it's impossible for him not to need to take some of his vacation time. We'd rather him have the time for once the baby is here, it's just what works out better for us.

I only get 1 Ultrasound.. we better get to see it all!

My husband goes to all my appointments with me. He insists.. I have an ultrasound at each one, and he wants to be with me in case they find something... and he likes to see the babies. He has never had to leave, for anything.

My kids were both at our big 20 week ultrasound. It was an hour, hour and a half long??? They didnt need to leave at all.
