July 2013 Moms

How are you today?

This board seems to be moving quick these days with tons of announcements and labor updates. So, I wanted to do a check in and see how everyone is. 

If you have given birth:
Do you have an outside baby yet?
How old is your baby?
Hows baby eating?
Sleeping?

How are you feeling post partum?

If you are still pregnant:

How far along are you? 
How are you feeling?

Re: How are you today?

  • If you are still pregnant: 

    How far along are you?  37 weeks tomorrow. 
    How are you feeling? I'm sleeping better now that I've got the heartburn under control. Now if only poor DD's upper molars got the memo that mommy is actually attempting sleep. She's got a cold and teething those molars so my sleep is interrupted and there it is. Coffee for me!

  • Still pregnant.

    37 weeks, 2 days.
    Feeling mostly good, but exhausted today for some reason.
  • 37 weeks and 5 days!

    Feeling large and uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels like she is trying to escape through my skin! Ready to meet my little girl but at the same time not sure I'm ready! Looking forward to sleeping longer than an hour without having to pee...
  • If you are still pregnant:

    I'll probably be pregnant for the next month.  However, it is nice to know that LO will be here by August 1st.

    How far along are you? 37 weeks today.


    How are you feeling? Kind of crappy.  That tdap shot really did a number on me...at least I think that's what the issue is. 

    Hope everyone is doing well:)

    36 weeks 2days

    Feel like I would rather be doing anything other than sit at work for the sake of being here.  Everything around me seems to be moving in slow motion and the "new symptom a day" is getting old.  Really just want to whine about it not being the end of the month yet.

    Still pregnant

    38 wks, 2 days

    Tired, swollen, but no other major symptoms - worst thing so far is the carpal tunnel!  

  • M0ONM0ON member

    I'm 36 weeks and I feel fantastic. I haven't reached the point of being sick of pregnancy yet, just sorta coasting along.

    Last night I had my first ever labor dream! I'm kind of surprised at how realistic it was.

    If you are still pregnant:

    How far along are you? 38 weeks tomorrow.

    How are you feeling? Besides my feet/ankles being huge by the end of the day and having to wear wrist braces for the carpal tunnel I'm experiencing in my hands due to swelling, I can't complain. I'm actually counting my blessings with how smoothly both of my pregnancies have gone thus far.

  • Still pregnant.

    I'm 36 1/2 weeks

    Achy and tired pretty much sums up how I'm feeling.  I really can't complain too much...I felt much worse at this point when I was pregnant with my DD.

    Overall,  I'm excited to finally meet LO soon, but I'm also trying to soak up these last weeks of not having my schedule dictated by a tiny baby.

    Good luck with that.  I mean seriously I'm sure it's not something you really want to be dealing with on your due date.  Hope it goes well and you get home in plenty of time to relax.  Maybe your baby will come today:)

  • 37 weeks, 5 days.

    Feeling pretty good.  Lots of nesting going on around here.  I am having some weird leg pain that is making moving around a bit difficult but it is manageable.  Have my weekly appointment today too!   

  • Pregnant 37 weeks
    Today I woke up at 6am sore. Contractions over a week but nothing steady constant discomfort even when not contracting. Doctors appointment today but not for 6 hours. DH is home to take care of me because I can barely make it to bathroom alone.

  • I'm 39 weeks today and doing OK.

    I honestly have had a pretty easy pregnancy, but these last few weeks are kicking my butt. I am so exhausted when I get home from work, and my back is starting to really hurt. I've also had zero signs of labor, so I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I guess we'll see! I have not had any cervical checks due to GBS, so not sure if anything is going on or not. For whatever reason I keep freaking out about being GBS+ and the baby getting sick, even though I know it's rare. Ahh, I am just ready for it to be over and to hold my LO!!

  • Still pregnant here...

    37 weeks in 2 days.

    Mentally/emotionally--I feel great. Physically--not so good. I am having the worst back pain of my life.

    How far along are you?
    39 weeks 2 days! 5 Days to go!

    How are you feeling?
    Overall, better than I expected, considering how terrible early June was to me.
    Baby is a little lower, so I can breathe again. She changed something about her positioning so my hips and walking aren't brutally painful. I still have mega swelling if I don't stay off of my feet, but thankfully I'm still able to sleep pretty well and that seems like a miracle after having some nights of tossing and turning and finding NO way to be comfy.
    I'm having premenstrual-type cramping and nausea every day, but that has been happening for about three weeks now. Maybe it will eventually lead to some progress! 
  • imagencchnat:
    I have to admit, I started crying when the pediatrician said to start supplementing, even though I figured it was coming. It still makes me sad that I'm not making enough for my boy. 

    Awe Ncchnat! I've been there, mama. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I understand the feeling of defeat and inadequacy. Its heart crushing, but you are doing the very best you can and that is all you can do. You are a wonderful mama, please don't forget that! Right Hug

     For everybody today, tomorrow, and forever!  ‘Cause I feel like loving you all!

  • Still pregnant.

    38 weeks tomorrow! Yay! 

    Symptoms: I seem to have new symptoms every week, but happily the symptoms of the week before disappear. (Because if I had pelvic pain and sciatica, I wouldn't have made it) 

    So the symptom this week is constant menstrual cramps since Saturday. I feel like I have about to get my period any second. This is not a sensation I missed! The doctor said everything looks good. 1 cm dilated and soft cervix. So progress I guess?

    My biggest pain is my MIL - but that is a totally different story. I love her dearly, but this is not her baby.

  • I will be 39 weeks tomorrow.
    I'm feeling physically and emotionally exhausted. I had a couple hours of false labor last night and kept hoping it would turn into something. I'm just so ready to meet my baby.

    Great idea!

    Still going strong, happy to be able to breathe a little better!! Carpal Tunnel has made itself known the last few weeks and sleep is becoming a little more difficult, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!

    How old is your baby? 12 days old


    Hows baby eating? She nurses great but her latch is like the jaws of steel. Clinch!


    Sleeping? It's what I expected. We can sleep for 4-5 hrs 

    How are you feeling post partum? The incision doesn't hurt but I'm still slightly achy. Motrin works well though.

    Honestly, feeling pretty good.  I'm uncomfortable, but who isn't in their ninth month!

  • Still pregnant!

    38 weeks today.

    Had contractions last night that didn't progress. Feel better this morning, just zzzzz.

    It's probably since I'm out of school now, but these last few weeks have been dragging, even though it's already July! Two IRL friends have already had babies this summer and I'm just ready to get going, even though I know I'll miss this quiet time and time with DH. My emotions are all over the place.  

  • How old is your baby? 2 days old

    Hows baby eating? He's eating all.the.time. Clustering. I don't feel like I get a break.

    Sleeping? If he's not eating he's sleeping.

    How are you feeling postpartum? Fine for the most part. The ute contractions are worse the second time around. I wondered if I just didn't remember how bad they were but the nurse said they are worse with subsequent pregnancies. The worst pain is the tender nips.

    How are you feeling? Overall I shouldn't complain, but heartburn and acid reflux just won't quit. Now my joints hurt (all of them) and I'm in constant crampy mode. I still have 4 weeks left so reading all these birth stories is making me excited/scaring the crap out of me!

  • If you are still pregnant:

    How far along are you? 39 weeks tomorrow.

    How are you feeling? Cranky as hell. Physically I still feel pretty great and am still running around the office, but I have been having on an off contractions for several days now and I am terrified that they won't turn into anything useful and I'll end up with an RCS next Thursday...I want to VBAC so badly and it's just my luck that I went into labor last time (10 weeks early) when I didn't want to, and now that I actually WANT/NEED to go into labor on my own, I haven't!

    Right there with you! The cramps were terrible and the sore cracked nips are still terrible. I literally feel your pain. Hugs to you!
    How old is baby? 6 days old
    How is baby eating? He's maintaining his weight from when we left the hospital but we're definitely having latch issues. My boobs are so flucking sore. I cried while I fed him last night. Considering pumping until we get this under control. Called the LC and left a message. Hoping to get in soon for some help.
    How's baby sleeping? He will sleep for 45 hours if we let him. Then he'll stay awake for a couple. He loves looking around figuring out what all is going on.
    How are you feeling postpartum? See previous comment about my angry boobs. Other than that the staples come out today. C section soreness is def still there but not as bad. And the tiniest things make me cry. Happy tears or sad tears. I have tears.

    Thanks! I'm in Canada, so Timmies is pretty ubiquitous. There are about 4 of them within a few km radius of where I'm parked waiting for the gov't office to open... You can ALWAYS find a Timmies around here! :D

    And also, thanks for the support Asbromle, I'm hoping that there's just some kind of clerical error. I've got a baby and toddler free day with the car, so I plan on doing some damage to our cash reserves [my husband and I never use plastic, and I'm a meticulous budgeter, so we have some fun money kicking around]. :D

    How are you feeling? I've been having high blood pressure issues the past few weeks so I have twice a week appointments and will need to be induced if I go over my due date...kind of scared about  that but trying to go with the flow as much as I can. I trust my doctor.  As a FTM I'm anxious, excited, nervous...all the norm. 

     

    I hope everyone is feeling well this last month!!!

    Hugs from me too... I know it's hard when you really want to nurse and your body just won't cooperate. I had to supplement for the first week or two with my first because I had problems with supply. It was heartbreaking to watch her lose weight day after day, despite nursing for hours... She dropped from 7lb6.5oz to 6lb10oz. The nurses threatened me daily that they would re admit me if I didn't start with the formula.

    Just nurse for as long as you can, your supply will even out so long as you keep nursing. Big, big hugs!

    37 weeks and a couple days.

    Aches and pains seem to be increasing, especially in my back and pelvic/butt area. Bleck Lol Contractions are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable and I find that I have to pause what I'm doing and breathe through them more often than before.
