2nd Trimester

***Shamrock Sweeties Wednesday Check-in***

Hello Shamrock Sweeties!!  This is a check-in for moms with a due date in the month of March 2010.  If you would like to be added, please post your bump name, real name, age and EDD.

Also, if you need anything changed, please post your EDD along with your new info so that it's easier to find your name on the list (it is hard to find some of you to update!).

Check-ins will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 8am CST.  Feel free to check-in any time that day.  Give us a general update on your progress and anything else you want to add!  We will have a question of the day as well.  There will also be a link to the check-in posted sometime after 4pm CST on M, W, and F.

***Be sure to update your baby?s sex when you have your big u/s.  If you?re not finding out, make sure you post that you are one team green so I can update that as well.

***Anyone who hasn?t updated the sex of their baby by the time we all move to the 3rd trimester board (once everyone is past 27 weeks) will be deleted from the list since it?s really long and some people don?t check in anymore.  Sorry!

***Starting on Monday 12/7 the check-in will be posted on both the 2nd and 3rd trimester boards until all members have crossed over to the 3rd trimester!  March is getting closer!!!

QOTD:  Just a reminder? the big delete is going to be happening soon!  Please update your baby?s ?team? if you haven?t already.  Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

Re: ***Shamrock Sweeties Wednesday Check-in***

  • hello all!!!! we have thought about banking cord blood...its costly! I had no idea! we are still trying to decide if we are going to, but i do believe it lives up to the hype. If if can cure certain diseases, then its worth it...in my eyes...have a great wednesday everyone!
  • Loading the player...
  • we aren't banking the blood, but I understand why other families would.
  • I'm just hanging in there.  Did my 1 hr glucose yesterday so just waiting for results (could be up to a week w/ my dr's office).  Got a recommendation to work from home after New Years so hopefully my work will approve it.  Otherwise just waiting for my next growth scan on Monday.

    QOTD:  No, I will not be banking the babies cord blood for various reasons.  I have seen posts with tons of info that basically make it seem not worth it.  In addition, hospitals usually won't bank it for multiples so it doesn't matter for me anyways

  • We're not going to bank the cord blood After we did a lot of research on it, it doesn't seem worth the cost.

  • I would love to do it, but I don't think we are going to.

  • Cord blood banking is a great idea, but we just don't have the money. I would love to have that reassurance "just in case" though.
  • QOTD:??Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood???Do you think it is worth all the hype?

    If I had the monetary resources to afford it, sure, why not. We just don't have the money to be able to do it at this time...?

  • I Think that we are going to bank the baby's cord...My FIL has Leukemia and it might help him..So they are going to pay for it...
  • Hi Ladies,

    I have an appointment today for regular check up and to take a growth u/s. I've been feeling cramps in my pelvic region yesterday and today, so I'm glad to be seeing the Dr. today.

    QOTD: I have looked into it and I see its possible benefits, but it's too pricey for our budget. So unless we come into some riches in the next 2 months, we will not be banking our baby's cord blood.

  • Hello everyone.

    QOTD: I would love to bank LO cord blood, but its very expensive. I know you can also donate it to Red Cross? I really hope to never need it!

  • HI! I am hardly ever around, but I try! Please don't delete! :)

    My EDD is March 7 and I am on TEAM PINK!!! YEA!  Oh, yeah and I am 32 now...hmmm...

    We don't plan to bank cord blood basically just because it's too expensive.

  • I have been thinking about this a lot actually. If we don't bank it for ourselves, we are going to see if the hospital will donate it.
  • Good Morning Ladies,

    QOTD: Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype? I am hoping to save our LO's cord blood.   I understand it is expensive but if she was to get any diseases that it could cure then it is worth the expense to me.  Just my opinion.  I am lucky that I am able to bank it.   I also do believe it is worth all the hype.

    I also watched the Dr. Oz Show that was all about pregnant women and even if you aren't able to afford it, you can donate it and it may save someone else.   At no expense to you.   I know that is available in the U.S. not sure about Canada though.

    Have a great day everyone Cool

  • We aren't going to bank cord blood.  I don't think its a necessity.  And it's waaaaaay too expensive.

  • Good morning all! I've missed the last few check-ins, but nothing exciting to report here. Hope you all are well too!

    QOTD:  Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

    We're definitely talking about this topic. It's a lot of money but I can't imagine how much I would regret it if we didn't do it and LO turned out to have a condition that would have benefited it. Still haven't made a final decision though so I'll be reading everyone else's responses.

  • QOTD:  Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

    We would love to be able to do it - but we can't afford it at this time. When we asked the nurse about it at our last appointment (Dr was covering for another Dr that was sick to deliver LO's) - she stated that if we had extra money to invest then we could. However she would rather start a college fund or something that her child would use since it is so expensive. The extra reassurance would be nice but the chances of using it are slim also.

  • Soooo bored at work today, can't wait to head to NYC for a week on Friday, and have my shower on Saturday!

    We will not bank our cord blood, though we may donate it. ?

  • We are not banking the babys cord blood.  Too costly for us.

  • No cord banking for us, but we did do some research on it.  It seemed pretty expensive for us when we really don't have a family history of the medical conditions it is supposed to help.  I think it depends on the couple whether it is worth it.

  • We will not be doing it because of the cost. But I don't know a lot about it, so I would say it is not a bad thing to do.

  • HI ladies!

    We will not be banking, for the same reasons as many other PP.  We just cannot afford it.  But we are looking in to donating.  It's unfortunate because cancer runs in my dad's family, but we do not have the money right now.

    Happy Hump Day!

  • My glucose test is this afternoon, but first I have to make it through work and luckly no meetings.

     

    Not planning on banking cord blood. We havn't even considered it. If I don't research it and bring it up, DH won't know the difference.

  • QOTD: I have thought about it but I am probably not going to bank the cord blood. It is way to expensive.
    Image and video hosting by TinyPic Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker BabyFruit Ticker image
  • We are not.  I would donate it if I could, but my hospital isn't one where that is an option.

    I read this article, which helped me decide.  It's a personal decision -- just attaching in case anyone is interested:  https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/119/1/165

  • I would love to be able to bank the cord blood, but unfortunately the costs are just too high!  We can't afford to do it, but if we could, we would.
  • No I am not keeping the cord blood. I cant due to being diagnosed with Melanoma twice.  I also dont believe all the hype. I wouldnt mind donating but I wouldnt pay to keep it.
  • QOTD:  Just a reminder? the big delete is going to be happening soon!  Please update your baby?s ?team? if you haven?t already.  Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

     I've looked into it, but it is really really expensive. I'm not thinking about donating it, but I don't know where to and if there is a cost involved. I don't know about the hype. If something ever happened to my baby I would make sure everything that could be done would be done. On the other hand I think that these companies are playing on the heart strings on new parents. 

  • Hello all... hope everyone is having a good week thus far.  I seem to have passed my 1hr glucose test as I never heard from my OB's office (no news is good news in his opinion).  Also, 3rd tri tiredness is starting to set in (right on time, if not a little early).  It just doesn't take much to exhaust me anymore.  Not to mention the fact that I'm not sleeping as well because I can't get comfy.

    QOTD:  Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

    I have thought long and hard about this one.  At this point, we just can't afford it.  I'd like to donate it, but there are so many hoops to jump through and that's the last thing I want to worry about after giving birth.

  • Hi everyone! I'm 27 weeks today! Woo hoo! Only 13 weeks to go!

    QOTD- We're not planning on banking the cord blood, but I can see why some families would. We've actually never given it much thought. It was never done by anyone else in our families.

  • We didn't do it with DS#1 and we won't be doing it with DS#2.

  • Not doing it...too expensive.
  • QOTD: We're not doing private banking. What I hear, it seems like a $$ making scheme (I hope that doesn't offend anyone). We would like to donate it, though.

  • Do you plan to bank baby?s cord blood?  Do you think it is worth all the hype?

     

    Most likely not, pretty sure DH doesn't even know what this means, and I've never brought it up.  Maybe, probably not.  Haven't done any research on it.

  • I know Im late in the game but Add me please:

    Due March 17th, I'm Brittinee, 29 ,team PINK!

  • Nope, however if our hospital did cord blood donations, I would be all in for that.  That being said, I may try something different that I didn't do with DS1 and not have them cut the cord right away but let the blood drain back into the baby when he's born.  Then they can cut it.  I read it helps decrease the severity of jaundice and has other benefits to it as well.  My poor tired brain can't recall them though right now.

  • Hello all :)

    Nothing new really going on here... except that i passed my 1 hour glucose test.

    also i just got over a pretty bad cold.. but other than that i have been doing pretty well

    Hope everyone else is doing well
    :)

    As for cord banking i really want to do it.
    And i think it is worth the hype. Only problem at the moment is money so yea. But most likely i will be banking it.

  • Hi All!  I know I haven't checked in for a while but 2nd tri was very busy for me.  Now that I am in 3rd tri the rest of my life has slowed down and hopefully I can participate a bit more.  

    I wanted to let everyone know that I am on Team Pink.  We will be naming our little girl Soledad Emelia.  

    As for the QOTD we will not be doing cord blood banking because it is very costly.  We looked in to it but decided it is just not worth it to us.  Hopefully we won't later regret that decision.
