A mom on the April 2016 Facebook group just posted that her water broke. She is 31w 5d!
Did she say her doctor said her water broke or that she is sure her water broke? I've had tons of people claim that their water broke and they actually just peed themselves.
I won't lie, I kind of laughed at this, then subsequently peed myself lol
It's along the same lines of the moms who say they lost their mucus plug... Unless your doctor says that what happened, I'm going to assume you're paranoid and just done being pregnant.

Can you really not tell the difference? I always thought that was a myth or just a joke

Sometimes it's more of a trickle of fluid than a gush, and in about 10 weeks I'll probably be so used to peeing myself that it'll be my new normal. Whatever, there'll be no pride left after the whole of Texas sees my vagina so I might as well get used to it now.
Thank you to all the mamas who said I looked pretty yesterday It was kind of nerve wracking for me to stand in front of a camera and be the center of attention being worried how I looked or if my double chin reared its ugly head. But looking back at the comments, you all made me feel better about myself.
You looked amazing! You definitely have the glow & I think it's safe to say that we're all jealous of your hair. So there's that. & I think you should start a photo thread. I love looking at them.
I feel like I got substantially more pregnant today. It was like, BAM! Here's the waddle, heartburn, simultaneous rib/vagina kicks, and other glorious 3 Tri lovelies.

I know the feeling! For this reason I decided not to take maternity photos… I think I would feel awkward as the centre of attention too… I hope I don't regret this decision later….
I will echo what everybody has already said: You looked super gorgeous!!!

This is her 4th baby. She said she went into the hospital yesterday because she lost her plug/bloody show and then she went home and was told to take it easy. Her water broke today
Update: she said she hasn't started contracting so they have her on magnesium and antibiotics. They gave her a shot for the baby's lungs so they hope to keep him in for a couple more days...so scary
Apparently I missed the cool kids join the Facebook group time. I remember seeing someone ask in the last few weeks about it and someone said back to her that they weren't accepting new members. Not gonna lie, I felt left out. But then I was like, Whateva, I've got the bump and its all good. Now I feel like I'm missing out again. Damnit the emotional roller coaster.
Also, how the hell are people 6 weeks away from babies? WTF? I'm 11 weeks out. I can't handle people having babies so soon...that means I'm closer than I will admit to myself, and freaking the fudgepops out!
I officially know I won't sleep tonight thinking about how close its getting! But seriously, squeeze those legs together ladies! No babies for a while! K, thanks!

A facebook group sounded weird to me. What's the point of this place if you want to use facebook instead?

Thank you! Of course it is your decision, but I believe you would look beautiful doing some photos! If even just a few

That answers my question. It's real.
I've seriously seen people post that their water broke and then they went into the hospital and the nurses sent them home because it was actually just pee. I've had three different friends get sent back home because of that. They were completely convinced that they were going into labor but nope. Just pee. They didn't even realize that they'd peed themselves.

Yeah I was under the impression they haven't made one yet. I'm a little hurt. Thanks guys. I literally just had the conversation with my fiancé earlier about how I've talked to the same twenty or so women everyday for the past seven months, and I'm actually invested in their lives now. I mean I know I suck at girl bonding, but yeah.
@imrachellea atleast you made it home and out of the car before you threw up. Trying to look on the bright side for you lol but yeah puking sucks when you already have the other pregnancy aches and pains.
@kalanieileen you look gorgeous in that photo! I wish I had your glow. All I have are pimples...
@emgee stick with your colors! I think the primary colors are great and I love the fact that its different from the normal pink and blue!
@St0v3s i always thought it was a joke too until two weeks ago. I was sick and coughing like crazy. Every time I coughed I would pee myself. Then it started that I didnt even have to cough that hard and I would pee myself. Not gonna lie, those times I barely coughed it honestly didn't feel like I was peeing. It truly felt like it was coming out of my lady bits. Really weird, but it was different than what I was use too when I peed myself. However, it was still just pee.

I thought that they made one at the beginning but since then aren't taking new adds? I didn't request anything or ask because I was also under the impression a new one was going to be made closer to April when everyone starts popping out babies.
So I was in the hospital all afternoon. Yesterday I started seeing spots and having vision issues while just sitting down and talking to my dad. It went away and I didnt think anything of it. Told DH about it earlier and he said I needed to call the doctor, so I did. They told me to go into L&D so they could run tests thinking it was pre-e because of my previous pregnancy. Thank god my bp was good and so was my protein. They decided to draw blood and check all that. Everything checked out and I was sent home (yay!!!!) But I was told that my platelettes were high and I guess always have been, and that my white blood cell count was low and according to my history they always are. I'm not concerned with it since they weren't, but how come nobody told me this before? Arent those things important to know about yourself?
@Knottie9983816 Don't be hurt! I bet a lot of people aren't in the group. I just thought it was weird they tried starting it right away before I was even familiar with anyone here so I wasn't interested. It would be cooler now.
Why did they close the group anyway? I'm pretty confused.
@TKaiser91 I don't think you would really know unless you asked or there was a reason to know. I know I have a really high platelet count because I used to donate them every other week at the Red Cross. I've also known my blood type since I was 16, but that's because I asked. DH doesn't even know his blood type, and he's had to have blood drawn for multiple things in his adult life. I've just been assuming he's either O+ (about 37% of white people are this blood type) or A+ (about 33% of white people are this blood type). Most people also don't know what's normal for them when it comes to blood pressure. I'm usually about 110-120/60-70, but I know that because of pregnancy and the Red Cross.
I think the FB group was closed to keep random lurkers out and keep the group small, but people were discussing waiting til April-ish because the randos should be weeded out by then. I think the only appeal for me is that it's a closed group, so posts/ photos/ etc. cannot be found by anyone. This board is mega public, which is why I haven't participated in HDBD and posted more than 1 or 2 photos since August.
Yeah they started the original Facebook group ridiculously early and closed it equally early. It was before we really even got to know many people so I didn't join because there were still so many annoying whiners on the board. If we made one now it would be ok. But I agree, joining the bump just to move to Facebook right away is kind of against the point.
The question is - how to do it without being total mean girls. Like, share your Bump SN when you request to join the group and if it isn't one that is recognized, you don't get in? Or everyone who wants to gets in? Only the cool kids?
@fbanke42 thanks! I guess I always assumed they would tell you something like that and you didn't have to specifically ask. Oh well, now I know lol I've always known my blood type, because like you I donate when I can, but I've never done the platelet. If I have a high count then it would be beneficial for me to donate them. I wish I knew that before so I could have been donating them all this time.
@TKaiser91 Donating platelets is a whole different beast from donating blood. I will say this though, the higher your platelet count, the less time you're stuck in the chair. Unlike blood, you're sitting there for 1-2 hours while it takes your blood, pulls out the platelets, and then it gives you the blood back. Every minute you go from warm to cold, warm to cold. They keep you wrapped up and give you heating pads.
@fbanke42 yeah I remember that from high school. They had two-3 machines set up on the side for them, but I never did that because nobody told me I had a high count and that I should. It is good to know that you go from hot to cold over and over. That part might suck but it would be worth it in my eyes. I could be wrong, but for some reason I remember people saying that when they return your blood it kind of hurts. Is that true?
@TKaiser91 It never hurt. The first time you get blood back, it's uncomfortable, but that's because you go five minutes of being drained to five minutes of room temperature blood being put back into you. Once it switches to a minute, you don't really even notice it at all.

Samesies. I haven't posted any pics but would join the FB group now that I've interacted with more bumpies. I remember when they asked about the group and it was definitely too soon for me.
Don't wanna sound arrogant but I totally vote for an exclusive Facebook group for the active members of our BMB. Tough luck if you wanna join and haven't participated in our gazillion threads.
So I just finished my appointment with the midwife and my glucose test. 2 hours later, no GD woop woop and I've lost 9 pounds in a month. But baby is huge. My fundal height measurement was 31 cm (I'm 31+2) so he's in the higher scale I fear. Can't wait for the growth scan next week and to see baby again in the ultra sound. Do you guys get any growth scans at this point to estimate baby's size?

I feel sick after all that sugar.
I haven't had any growth scans, only measurement of my fundal height (which is always ahead, but I know my due date is very close to being correct). I'm hoping to see her again before the big day but I really don't know what's going to happen!

Yeah, DH and I decided not go to for the 3D scans but I can feel I'm really anxious to see LO before the big day, so I'm hoping they'll offer a peak in 3D.
they signed DH and I up for labor classes and breastfeeding classes in English, so I feel pretty excited!
@elasticheart13 I had a growth scan at 30 weeks, because before that baby had only been in the 21st percentile (at 30 weeks he was at the 44th). I will have another one at 36 weeks, for growth but also to monitor his left hydronephrosis.
My dog is driving me nuts...we decided to put the puppy's cage in our room last night to see if it would help her adjust (it did - minimal whining, yay!) and every time she made a peep Athena got up and stuck her nose in my face like, "Mom! Mom! She's awake! She needs us - wake up wake up wake up!" It was adorable but it got old quickly. She also laid outside the kennel until puppy fell asleep after we went potty in the middle of the night, so I couldn't even be mad about the cold nose. What is she going to do when a baby wakes her up crying every hour or two? Also, posting a photo because they're cute and my dogs are my babies until April!
