everyone's due dates
"Mary S." ha scritto nel messaggio om... How many weeks are you/ what's your due date month? 27 weeks + 4 days, EDD October 6th How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally, hormonally? OK, I guess - no physical or emotional progress (my vacation time is approaching as well, so I guess this contributes to my happiness as well ;-). As for hormonally... yesterday I got a big whiny about feeling big, the back bothering me slightly, not wanting to go anywhere or do anything... but DH persuaded me to go to the beach, and after 45 minutes of swimming, I was back to my usual self. I do notice I get tired more easily than before, so I try to take longer breaks when working/sitting down at the computer, and I try to take a nap every afternoon. Any new pregnancy developments? No. Just had the general (every-4-weeks) appt with the ob/gyn, and everything is fine; the U/S is sheduled for next Tuesday. We still don't want to know the sex, so the U/S is for measurement purposes only. How are you feeling about the birth and about the baby? OK. Just finished the childbirth classes (BTW, DH finally got a day off work, went to the childbirth class with me and got his certificate which allowes him to attend the birth at the hospital) which I loved (and he said he wished they were at the more *decent* time of day so he wouldn't miss anything (the childbirth classes were scheduled at noon during the week, can you believe that?!)). We are putting together the final list of things to get for the baby and hoping to start doing the shopping in about 10 days, when the major sales start over here in Italy. I realized recently I have been doing other things and we haven't even come close to decide about the baby's name, so I guess after the final shopping list is done, this is what we'll do next. What else is going on? Nothing much. I'm still working, but are trying to take things a bit more easy and to relax more. We go out every weekend - first spend a day on the beach and then go out for a walk/dinner/ice cream. Tomorrow my best friend is getting married, so we will be there from 5 pm until... who can tell? I just need to relax and get more sleep during the day to be *fresh and well rested* for the occasion. So I'm trying to do some extra things today. Haven't decided quite what to wear tomorrow, but have 2 ideas - long black dress (really elegant), not quite disguising my bump (it's a bit stretchy) but why not? There is also a shawl to go with that dress that can cover the bump slightly - but choosing that dress would mean I'd have to go shoe shopping this afternoon! Another combination is middle-lenght black skirt with a red top (straps) and a long black blouse; red accessoires. Maybe I should do a poll - what do you think ;-)? How is your vacation, Mary? I hope you & your family are enjoying every second of it! Elly |

everyone's due dates
edd Oct. 29
24w 2d Twin girls Just came home from the hospital for the 2nd time around. They gave me steroids for lung develoment. Had a u/s on Tuesday and the girls are doing well. Baby a is breech and baby b is face down transverse. (she really enjoys kicking me in the cervix which is a no no right now!) I'm still dialated to 1 1/2 and my cervical length is .6 cm. Cervix is funneling fairly bad );. The doctors would like to keep me in the hospital til I deliver, but I opted for strict bedrest at home with monitoring and meds to keep contractions at bay...a much more restful enviroment! I feel like a million dollars after only one night in my own bed! I hope that I'm making the right decision, I just can't stand all the routine procedures administered at hospitals and feel that the stress isn't helpful to a restful pregnancy. There is one big benifit to bedrest. Not too many pregnancy symptoms. Staying off your feet does alot for backaches, fatigue, etc. The babies are growing rapidly and their constant kicks and movements let me know they are doing well. Its really fun as with their positions I can tell which baby is kicking. Hoping to keep these buns in the oven for at least another 4 weeks....longer if possible. Wish us luck!!! Kim |

I'm feeling more energy now, but my headaches are steadily increasing. I think the morning sickness is starting to subside. Emotionally, I'm all over the place. I get upset easy, and I cry when I watch the tv. I'm also starting to feel a bit more "drive" if you know what I mean. My waist is definitely thicker, though I haven't noticed a bump yet. I'm big anyway, so I've read it will take longer to notice. My breasts are gigantic. I started out a DD, and I think I might even be past DDD now. They are pretty tender. I'm very excited about any new developments. I could almost swear that I've felt the baby move. Whether or not it actually was, I don't know. I have another doctor appointment on 7/16 where I'll get an AFP and he's scheduling me for an ultrasound at that time. -- -Crystal Dreamer http://www.livin-it-up.net remove my shoes to reply edd December 31, 2003 |

How many weeks are you/ what's your due date month? 17 weeks due December 16th How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally, hormonally? Physically...morning sickness still. I had about a week long break, but it came back full force. Getting very tired at work after running around for 12 hours. Actually I start to run out of steam around 1am. Emotionally...a lot less psycho. Hormonally...look out pizza delivery boy! Any new pregnancy developments? My belly. Been asked "are you having twins?" already. Bah. I am getting the hands patting the tummy. Thankfully it's people I know. We took a peek at the baby at work and are pretty sure it's a boy, but my official sono is August 4th. How are you feeling about the birth and about the baby? Excited! What else is going on? Babies everywhere! We have been very busy at work, October must have been a boring month. =) Thanks for the questions, I didn't think they were lame at all. Nichole |

Sorry, everyone -- we're on vacation and dialup access is very spotty, and google won't let me post more than a few messages at a time, so no nice due-date posts this month! How many weeks are you/ what's your due date month? 37.6 weeks( 38 weeks tomorrow!) Due on the 26th July. How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally, hormonally? Almost too tired to reply ;-) I'm feeling as big as a house, gettting lots of Braxton Hicks and baby's movements have been quiet alien-like for a couple of weeks now, I guess it just has so little room to manoevre. My hormones aren't too bad, I started my leave from work on Tuesday and although we got a bit of a blow when we heard how little I would be earning whilst off (I thought I would get more Maternity Benefit) I've generally been in a really good mood since. Feeling confident about my ability to bf this time around, have been receiving some great advise from mkp and books :-) I am nervous though about my ability to juggle my two older children, I know that my 5 year old will be easy and will probably help out, but my 3 yr old is becoming very cranky lately and I am worried that he will be jealous. They also like to play outside with their friends a lot which is fine at the moment I check them every few minutes and/or sit outside on a garden chair while I keep an eye on them, so I am getting myself in a heap worrying how I will manage their social life and a new baby ;-\ Dh will be able to take about a week off that we can afford (he could take more unpaid but that is a no-go) so I am hoping that I become a confident and efficient nurser in my first week.......um!! Any new pregnancy developments? I haven't any new stretch marks................but the old ones are out in force!! How are you feeling about the birth and about the baby? Really at this stage I can't wait to meet the little one. I am hoping to go through most of my labour at home and try to just book into the hospital at the point where it will be too late to opt for the epidural. I had it with my last two births and I think much of the reason is that both times I laboured in the hospital and it was much easier to opt for the epidural rather than walk the corridors of the strange environment again. I have plenty of aromatherapy oils lined up, DD5 has been practising rolling a tennis ball up and down my back and I'm practising my visualisation. What else is going on? Our Graco Travel System arrived yesterday. It doesn't fit dh's car :-( It does fit mine though so it's not as though we won't manage, but it is a pain in the butt. We don't want to return it and get another because we really want a Travel System but can only afford the Graco one. Having spoken to another owner of a Daewoo Lanos, they had the same problem with another car seat so it may be just his car. I rang the Daewoo today to find out if they can disable the airbag on the front passenger side (where the seat does fit) but supposedly that is illegal, so he is finding out if we can get an extended belt fitted in the rear and ringing me back on Tuesday, so fingers crossed that works out. I know it's a bit lame, but what can you do... Mary S. mom to the Sproutkin, 16 months You are very thoughtful to remember to do this even on your vacation Thanks Mary Marie |

What else is going on? I think I'm 24 weeks, I'm embarassed to admit I am not keeping track very well. Im due the 30th of October, the same day my daughter was due 8 years ago. I feel like a whale, but everyone says I look great. Just having this big old huge round belly sticking out is disconcerting, its been so long that this is like a 1st pregnancy for me. The baby does taekwon do,it would seem. Im starting to not be able to sleep on my stomach, and I'm hot. I try not to think tooo much about the big day because I dont yet have anyone to come help me. My older kids go back to school in a few weeks, so I will start sewing baby clothes and stuff then and probably get a little more excited. Today I smelled some baby detergent and was tempted to buy it and wash all the baby stuff, but i figured the smell of it would just make me impatient. So I wait and wait. |

How many weeks are you/ what's your due date month?
7 weeks, I'm due March 4th. How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally, hormonally? Well my chest REALLY hurts, I'm so super tired, and I am beginning to feel queasy... :/ Any new pregnancy developments? Since we dont have health insurance we had to push back my first ob appointment until August 6th. I'll be around 11 weeks though, so maybe we can hear the heartbeat. PLEASE everyone cross your fingers for my dh finding a new job. Scary time! How are you feeling about the birth and about the baby? Ok so far! Just worried about the insurance thing. What else is going on? At a garage sale today, I found a perfect condition pack'n'play playpen for $5. Yay! Thanks for asking! Sarah edd 3/4/04 |
