Early Labor, But Then Again, Maybe Not

First, thanks to all who commented on my whiny heartburn post. I did manage to go back to sleep with the aid of a Tylenol PM, but only for a few hours before I was again rudely awakened, this time by an awful nightmare. So definitely not what I would classify as a decent night’s sleep ( Read more... )

Went to the doctor today.. she told me I was about 2 centimeters and I've been having contractions this whole time! She said when they are 4 minutes apart I should come in, but she said they may not be painful. How am I supposed to know when it's time if the contractions are not painful?? I need a sign! My next appointment is July 7 and she said if ( Read more... )

I'm Going to Die of Heartburn!

Someone please tell me that heartburn so bad it feels like someone shoved a white hot knife down my throat is some unknown precursor to labor. Please? Pretty please? My God, I thought I had heartburn throughout this pregnancy, but I had no idea what I was talking about. I woke up a little before 1:00 in so much pain that I wanted to cry and ( Read more... )

Slapstick pregnancy

I've been having more nose bleeds than I ever thought humanly possible since I've been pregnant. Which is not that many, I guess, but since I hadn't had even one since I was a child... well, it's been a lot. Then, 2 1/2 weeks ago, I got a head cold, and found myself in the delightful situation of weighing up the likelihood of a nose stuffed up ( Read more... )

36 week appointment

So I had my 36 week appointment today, and a growth ultrasound. They're estimating him to be 6 lbs, 2 oz now, and my OB said that would make him 8 or 8.5 lbs at birth. I'm having a C-section at 39 weeks - aren't babies supposed to gain half a pound a week at this point? So if I have three weeks left, wouldn't that put him at more like 7.5-8 lbs at ( Read more... )

Full Term Today!!!!

I had my 37 week appointment this morning, and everything is perfect. My blood pressure was down to a very acceptable 138/70. Baby seems to have undropped, so to speak, and because of that I’m now measuring two weeks ahead. She’s still head down, but her head is kind of angled a little bit. My midwife isn’t concerned about it though. She did a ( Read more... )
