Ladies?

I'm still working. At least we had Monday off for President's Day and Tuesday off for snow. Hopefully Little Man makes his appearance soon because I'm so over work!

My spam is this: So I got the results back from my work's health screening I did last week and apparently my LDL, triglycerides, and overall cholesterol are high, which is completely new to me. I've always been healthy with good levels. After googling I found that pregnancy does raise your cholesterol levels and generally it's not anything to be concerned over (the levels go back to normal in about 4 weeks PP), unless your overall cholesterol level is above 240. Well, mine's 238. I'll be asking my OB at my 39 week appt today. I'm not terribly concerned because I've given tons of blood at that office for other reasons and I should hope that if anything was amiss they'd let me know, but still. Just one (or two) more weeks and then I won't have to worry about it! Come on out, baby!!

@JessicaH1020 OMG me too! Our kids need to go ahead and get here so we can go home.

JessicaH1020 · February 2015

Right? I showed up this morning and everyone was like, "You're here? I thought for sure you had that baby over the weekend!" I was like nope, he's still in there. My due date is Friday. Tomorrow was supposed to be my last day of work, but if he still hasn't budged, there's no point in sitting at home. I'm probably just going to keep working until I go into labor.

LO and I are waiting for the cable guy to show up and install everything. We moved and have been without cable or internet for 2 weeks! If he doesn't show up today I will probably go insane! The weather in Georgia is cold today. But I'm thankful I am not up north with snow. I may make some homemade banana bread while I wait for the cable guy.

DHarpster · February 2015

I'm apart of another site similar to this one and a lot of the ladies over there have been posting pictures of their LOs breastfeeding. I remember it being a big deal when people posted ultrasound photos of their LO's private areas. Is it odd that people are posting breastfeeding pictures or am I just more conservative than I thought? I know people breastfeed in public and I believe that's everyone own choice but putting pictures online just seem more permanent to me. What do you guys think?

em4iowa · February 2015

I think it's odd and I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't take a picture of my child eating from a bottle and post it online either. I'm not offended by any means and I think breastfeeding should be normalized and is perfectly fine to do in public, and to post pictures of online, but I think it's weird.

Monday morning I couldn't get baby to move. Like at all for a long time. Usually I can poke her, eat, shower and she's responds but nothing. It freaked me out soooo bad we went to my dr apt early. Did a stress test things looked good. It was so scary! This is my second pregnancy so I know what I'm feeling and what I'm not feeling.
I felt her once on the way to the dr and good thing because that place was a joke! I called said I was coming early and why, the nurse said ok will see you soon and will hook you up to a monitor. We got to the waiting room and the nurse said it will be a little bit let me get the room ready.... 5min later, it will be a few more min my computer is loading real slow today...... REALLY?!?!? They knew we were coming. My husband met me at the dr and said if I hadn't felt her move he would be so mad at that point for no one being concerned. They don't take things serious. Then the nurse was giving me a kid lecture like I was being paranoid. It made me feel like Iv been there 10x already. THEN I told her when I have big contractions the baby responded like it was hurting her or something just different then before.... She then told me that at this stage babies don't have FEELINGS!!!! What the hell? I was done taking to her at that point.
I was 40weeks on Sunday. Ready and waiting for her to come.

Seriously?!? My doctor keeps drilling into me how important kick counts are during these last few weeks. I would be so furious, too, to not feel like they were taking this seriously. Has she started moving more reliably again? Hope the baby comes soon and safely so you can get out from under that doctor!

BeachbrideAK · February 2015

Yes she is back to her normal movement thank goodness. Very frustrating because my moms first pregnancy was a still born so very stressful! Then the picture straight in front of the bed for the stress test was an angel with lots of babies in heaven... Soooo uplifting!

JaquelynnH · February 2015

Due date was yesterday. No labor but I had a Doc apt and I was 1.5cm dilated. Did a membrane sweep and tho not pleasant, wasn't that bad. A little bit of spotting later on. That was 2pm yesterday. No labor signs yet. Massage scheduled for 10am tomorrow. Friday will have some fetal monitoring testing if not in labor by then. If she's all good in there they won't induce me until next Wed.
The anticipation is killing me!! Lol

mamabisme · February 2015

Still pregnant over here, too. Had my 39 week appt today and all is well. I guess I can't complain too much because I at least have an end in sight (RCS on my due date). I've gotten pretty uncomfortable over the last few days and am starting to wish I had scheduled the RCS sooner but I still stand by my reasons for scheduling it when I did. Only one week to go.

I went to spin class today and I think it may be my last until after baby. I can no longer make it through a class without breaking to pee and since baby has dropped the bike seat is pretty uncomfortable. I think today may be my official retirement from group exercise classes (spin was the last one I was able to do). I'll just have to do my own routine for the next week.

yoursincelery · February 2015

@mamabisme Kudos for keeping up the exercise until the very end. I just did my second customary walk of the day and I barely made it back to my office because it hurt too badly to even walk anymore. Let's hope our squishies come easier because of it.

It doesn't offend me, but I wouldn't post pictures of my baby breast feeding simply because that's not something I would want to share. I feel like breast feeding is something very personal and is a special bonding moment between you and your LO and I feel posting photos of it would be along the same lines as sharing more intimate parts of my marriage. But that's just me.

Also, I would not post personal photos on here anyways since under the new TOU, The Bump thinks they have ownership of my photos and the right to use my pictures as they see fit.

waters517 · February 2015

I haven't really posted on here much but definitely read the posts almost every day. I'm a ftm and I'm due Sunday. Not dilated at all. They want to sweep my membranes at my appointment next Wednesday if I don't go into labor by then. Makes me a little nervous because it sounds unpleasant. Otherwise it looks like I'll be getting induced Feb 27 or March 1st. Can't wait to meet this little guy but I'd rather have him come when he is ready

yoursincelery · February 2015

@waters517 Nice to meet you! Glad you're posting! I've heard a lot of different experiences with the sweep. Some women say it hurts, to some it's just uncomfortable. I'm due on Monday and really, something's gotta happen soon or I'm going to go insane. If my OB suggests it and thinks it's best, I'll be for it. Beats being induced, or so I hear.

tropicbreeze · February 2015

There is not enough caffeine in the world today. DH has the day off from work and he and LO took a nap. I really REALLY wanted to join them but the floors in my house were bothering me wayyy to much. Spent 2 hours vacuuming and mopping. Anyone else PP with a strong nesting instinct still? Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Mandig990 · February 2015

My due date is actually today but my LO was born last Tuesday. This week has been pretty okay as far as stress levels go. It's just been tough getting used to the no sleep but otherwise we are doing great

Yes. And it's not always that great. Though I did drop off for a solid nap this afternoon.

Baby was discharged from special care nursery this afternoon so he's rooming in with us in the mother-baby wing for the first night. Of course I'm thrilled that he's no longer considered at risk for infection and he's done with all his wires and everything. However, he's decided that he wants to cluster feed and refuses to sleep if we put him down. So hubby and I are sleeping in shifts and I am exhausted. Is this what it's going to be like when we get home? Better ask my mom to move in, because this is rough.

Alyllyra · February 2015

Still cooking over here too! I had my (hopefully last) pre-baby appointment with my OB yesterday. We scheduled another appointment for Mars 4 but I'm hoping I don't need to use it and LO will be here by then (EDD is 2/26). Otherwise, they'll induce me on the 13th. That's so far off! I think I'll go insane before that!!

@junebugjam‌ I'm sorry you are so exhausted, that sounds rough! Glad you have your LO with you though, it will get better!

Yay on the baby progress. And it is rough to start. Has your milk come in? And how long does lo feed? There are a few tricks there that can help with that. And sooner or later his appetite and sleep habits should even out.

DHarpster · February 2015

@em4iowa‌ @JessicaH1020‌ I hope you guys don't think I thought it was offensive. I BF myself I just personally wouldn't post photos online. I just thought it was strange.

em4iowa · February 2015

Even if you do find it offensive that's just as much your right as it is for a mom to bf in public, but no, I didn't think you were offended. Just my opinion. But yea, I think it's strange too. I think it's like pp said, it's just an intimate moment that seems weird to share so publicly.
