@huskerfanz just feed them all the tots. I'm convinced that will make them want to stay in longer!!

Lol. Or maybe it will be like that super bowl doritos commercial and they'll come shooting out wanting all the tots.

Slept better than I expected! More meds and monitoring this morning. Then I think another cervix check and a check on their fluid as the med can decrease it. Then we'll see what the Dr thinks! The rest has been nice. The cold has kind of worn me out.

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

@Huskerfanz- that was a great update to wake up to- so glad you slept! Keep us updated as you can

kwife15 · April 2016

I mean babies of course!

@lunagrl79 hang in there! You've got this!

@Huskerfanz I'm glad you were able to get some rest. Keep cooking babies!

For those who can't sleep because of BHs one Tylenol PM (or half of one) is magic! I did this as needed with my last two pregnancies and was able to sleep.

Sydvicious08 · April 2016

This might be TMI, but I have to vent about this somewhere

H is usually very understanding and sweet during pregnancy because he knows my emotions are all over the place. So last night, since we were both "in the mood", even after an awful day for both of us, we decided to spend some adult time together.
Right in the middle, I needed to shift a little because, no position is really all that comfortable. So shifting requires separator for a moment. H looks down and goes "om my, you have a ton of discharge!" With a horrified look on his face.
Yeah, so mood officially DEAD and of course tears because he had turned me down the night before. Of course he apologized but tried to tell me thought something was wrong. Because, you know, I haven't been going through a box of panty liners every week and a half.
Moral: men are stupid so leave the light off during sex.

Eff the discharge. You aren't alone.

Ugh. I'm on progesterone (vaginal suppositories) and it is GROSS. Good thing I'm not allowed to have sex! (Please note the sarcasm).

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

@candicek15- I was on those before we had our MC during our last PG and they are soooo gross. Even with pads on, I always felt disgusting.

CourtJack · April 2016

@Huskerfanz so happy to hear from you this morning! glad you got some rest and lets hope the checks this morning are good news.

catherinekate · April 2016

Ack thinking of you @huskerfanz! Hope those little babies cook a bit longer! Thanks for the update.

candicek15 · April 2016

@MamaNicoleof3 Seriously. I've had a liner on 24/7 since mid-January. Before this PG I also had a MC and bled for a month. That, plus this, plus not being allowed to have sex (since January!), plus post-partum bleeding/grossness is making me very much look forward to July when all this business downtown will be done and over with. Please tell me it will be done and over with! lol

candicek15 · April 2016

@Huskerfanz Glad to hear you're doing okay, thanks for the update! Keep 'em cooking, enjoy some tots for us, and keep us posted! We're thinking of you!

Sydvicious08 · April 2016

@Huskerfanz tell those babies to stay in there, no matter how tempting the tots are! Glad you are doing better!

MrsAlliKat · April 2016

@Huskerfanz Glad to hear you slept okay. Hoping for good news for you and the little ones from the doctor this morning. Keep cooking little ones!

MeganF08 · April 2016

@candicek15 - When I first started the progesterone shots I kept hoping that my levels would bump up enough to do the suppositories. There were a few weeks that I ended up having to do both and decided I was better off with the shots. I am sorry that you are having to stay on them, I know they are a mess

hollywoodave531 · April 2016

I'm on hour 4 of a 24-hour urine test my OB is having me due because of semi-high BP. It is so hard! I like peeing every 30 min but am holding it more because it's hard work to bring the container into the bathroom etc. Seriously pray for me that this day goes by quickly!

Hooray for STILL being awake!!!! Its not so much that I can't get comfortable tonight, I just can't fall asleep These last 9ish weeks are going to be HELL if this continues. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm sorry @sdLindenberg , that's the worst!! I had nights of exactly that last week...t H then started reading aloud and that has helped and I also have gotten back to diffusing oils and that has helped as well...

Oils! Yes! My H has started giving me nightly massages (please don't hate me. This never happened with the other pregnancies!) with coconut oil mixed with lavender and it's helped sooo much.

candicek15 · April 2016

@MeganF08 Thanks! It's nice to know others have been there and survived, lol.

I try to do relaxation techniques from hypnobirthing/Bradley and it helps more often than not.

Huskerfanz · April 2016

Just talked to my Dr! Going home sometime today for bed rest for the weekend and then back Monday to see how things look. Contractions slowed and cervix is a tad better even at 2.1ish.

splsmama2016 · April 2016

@MamaNicoleof3 @junebabyjoy my mom got my a diffuser for my birthday, but it's not here yet. I'm hoping that it gets here soon because I'm a mess. Lol. Between only a few hours of sleep last night, my cat wanting to cuddle with my belly, baby girl going ninja on my bladder And now allergies, omg... Lol.

MamaNicoleof3 · April 2016

@Huskerfanz- yay for being sprung! Take it easy!!

@sdLindenberg- my allergies have been killing me, too. The congestion is awful. I emailed my doctor on Monday and she gave me a list of things to try. I can send them if you'd like.

CourtJack · April 2016

So, I creep BMBs birth stories like there's no tomorrow - always have. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a ton of women being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia? Maybe it's always been this way and I've just never noticed - but it just seems more common than I ever recall.

Random observation over.

Yes! I feel like all the early births are due to this. Maybe when I start reading the ones where they are born near their due date things might seem normal?

I also terrified something is going to go wrong in labor. I can't even have that conversation with DH without crying. I get..."women have been doing this forever.."

splsmama2016 · April 2016

Terrified of this especially with my bp being the way it is right now, hence urine collection test! Off to go lurk....

Sleeping in 3 hour increments if I'm lucky. It's been tough.

Good to hear @Huskerfanz!

Been quite a morning. Just got home after taking H first to urgent care and then ER....turns out he has a nasty viral respiratory infection. I'm all "I love you, but....."

VikingGirl12 · April 2016

Yay @Huskerfanz! Get plenty of rest!
