Mommies to be check in

oh yes the lovely side effects of pregnancy

I think it's always important to check in. I know I learned my lesson the hard way- I suffered for 2 days with "gas" pains. It hurt so bad but one time I went to the ER with real gas pains and I was mortified. I didn't want to do it again.

I ended up having appendicitis. Instead of having it removed laparoscopic, I had to have it the old fashioned way because it was large and leaking. I now have a 4 inch nasty scar on my abodomen instead of 2 really small cute holes. I was also in the hospital for 5 days.

When in doubt, get it checked out.

Oh wow! That's crazy! I've always had issues going #2, so when I got preggo I knew I was going to have extra issues since I couldn't take anything to make me go. But my doc told me it was safe to take stool softners, so all is good now.

Hi ladies! Just checking in to see how everyone is feeling...

I've been feeling really good. I've had a little presure on my bladder at night. Seems like when I lay down, I have to pee....or I just have that feeling that I have to pee. Kinda annoying!

Can't wait for my 16 wk appt. on Thursday!! Crossing my fingers that he will schedule a sono soon!

i remember having that i have to pee feeling all the time......good luck at your appt

oh wait till your little one is dropping, I cannot go more than about 30-45 minutes...I go for my 38 week appointment on Thursday, hopefully I will be dialated at least a little bit.

Wednesday is my last day of work!

I guess I shouldn't be complaining about the bladder thing. I know it's only going to get worse!

Christine - I can't believe your last day of work in Wednesday! I bet you will be sooooo glad for that day to come!! Hopefully you will be dialated a little on Thursday. Maybe Ainsleigh will decide to come early

I doubt she will come early, I was three weeks late myself so I am still really praying for her to be here by father's day which is about three days before my due date.

It does get worse.. most days I wake up at 4:30am to pee. This morning I couldn't go back to sleep. Other than that, I'm feeling great! I played cards til Midnight on Saturday and drank my water like a trooper while everyone else had their beverages of choice.

We have the big ultrasound on Thursday to determine the sex! Yay!

Angela that is so exciting, I can't wait to hear what you are having.

 

Wow Christine, you last day of work is Wednesday, that is exciting. I have the countdown on till my last day and I have a lot longer than you and I am already excited

 

I am doing well, just the usual hard time sleeping sometimes and pains in my left leg and butt and hip when I walk to much, but in general I am pretty great.
