  • My belly button is just flat but because of the gallbladder scar it pouches out in one spot so I kinda look like a semi outie. I need to do a hdbd pic one of these days. I work this weekend yesterday and today. We had plans with another couple with a 5 yr old and a 1 year old last night. Stayed there till midnight now I'm at work exhausted but it was a lot of fun. My son kept handing the baby her bottle and running around with the 5 year old. We played a card game called munchkin. Today I'm working then going to bed when ds does
  • @L1C4gal @Jens_Hoes I haven't been to one in forever but if you have a Burlington (coat factory) I remember thinking the last time I was in there that I would go maternity shopping there next time I was pregnant cuz they had a ton of cute dresses. 
  • @MrsFox2008, I'm glad she's head down! Fingers crossed she stays put. I don't know if mine is head down, they won't check til 36 weeks!

  • FX for all you mamas attempting a VBAC! 
  • How can you tell baby is breach?  Can you tell or is it based on doctor feeling or US?  I know our babies still have time to get in the right position, but I think mine might be breach based on where I'm feeling movement.

    @clebl24 my doctor checked with the portable ultrasound machine in the exam room. He showed me where her head was and I can definitely still feel I think there because it's very prominent. 

    Edit: I don't know if it was bad typing and autocorrect or pregnancy brain that butchered that last sentence. I recognize its terribleness and am too tired to think it through and fix it.

  • @clebl24 My dr has been able to tell when she measures me at recent appointments (32wks). She couldn't tell at 30wks, but I had a U/S iat 31 wks and it confirmed head down. She said it was definitely noticeable by feel at 32wks.

  • @clebl24 I had a growth US at 30 weeks that said she was head down and then at my last appointment my OB was able to tell from feeling.

    My doctor didn't even attempt to tell at my 32 week appointment. He said that he'll check by ultrasound at 36 weeks.

    @clebl24 My doctor was able to tell by feel at my last appointment. I'm almost positive she's been head down since then, because I can feel a prominent roundness down low and an angular feature (butt) up high.

    ETA: In terms of movements, I feel a lot of internal movement down low on my bladder and hips, which I assume are arm/head movements based on the fact that she seems to be head down. Up high, I get a lot of spread out movements, all over my stomach and out to the sides, so assuming those are legs. I feel like she frequently is facing a side, cause I'll be lopsided and feel (presumably) legs on one side of my stomach and nothing on the other side.
  • @clebl24 Have you heard of belly mapping? DH is actually freakishly good at it with me and baby. You can try it yourself, or your OB will do it at an appointment, and I'm sure you can ask if they don't automatically.

    @kns1988 That sounds like a great date! Enjoy!

    @ChristinaWild I completely agree. I'm not bitchy and hormonal, you just don't understand.
  • @jayandaplus on my ultrasound last week I finally asked just to know where everything was
  • @KMD1106  at my last ultrasound in Jan she was already head down, my dr continues to check each appointment by just feeling. I can definitely tell this baby is not breech her kicks are at the top of my stomach and very uncomfortable compared to my first her kicks were always low and not nearly as uncomfortable!!

  • My SIL just text me to let me know that they put in an offer on a house, they are in Northern California. I am excited for them, but it is not anywhere I would ever live! She sent me a link and it's actually a condo. 2 bed, 2 bath, under 1300 square ft. and it's an upstairs condo. Where we are stationed now we can get a 4 bed/3bath and over double the sq ft.for what they are paying. It's just crazy the difference in cost to live in areas of the country. 
  • @bacorrea I'm originally from Northern California and could never imagine going back due to the cost of living. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina now, and we get so much more (house, land, etc.) for our money than anywhere in the state of CA.


    Question:
    What kind of toys, if any, do you plan to have for your newborn? I'm specifically thinking the first 1-2 months.

    @jayandaplus I loooove Raleigh! My brother is in Wake Forest! I want to say two of my siblings were born at Wake Med! (In the 90s). 

    I love Lamaze toys. I got an Octopus for this baby.

  • Well we had a nice weekend of relaxing together and playing with dd around the house. Then i accidentally ate diswashing detergent (like for the machine, not just soap) bc our machine sucks and just dumps the liquid on the silverware rather than actually dispersing it and rinsing it, so dh gave me a spoon to have jello with dd and i went to take a bite and got a mouth of detergent instead.... I guess i didnt look at the spoon bc i trusted dh to give me i a clean spoon, but how we both missed it is beyond me. The detergent package said to call dr or poison control so i called the after hours ob bc i dont have a reg. Dr and she said it was fine, most dont have bleach anyway and not to worry... But after getting off and checking ours it does have bleach but she seemed so unconcerned that i guess its fine either way. after that we tried to let dd poop on her potty which turned into having to scrub the hallway floors, everyone change clothes, and her needing a bath... So that was an interesting evening. Dd did go to bed super early tonight and now were waiting for the walking dead!
  • I ended up in triage all day. After hours of tests and crap...they've determined that I have gallstones. So that's fun.

    I'm sorry! Will you need to have your gallbladder removed right away?

  • @SparkySunDevil oh no! I'm so sorry! 
  • @SparkysunDevil I hope you are not in too much discomfort. Will they be able to treat you now, either to remove the stones or the gall bladder?

  • @KMD1106 no, my dr hadn't mentioned that the same thing(s) could happen again this time. He says that we still have plenty of time to talk about things, but I'm itching to get some sort of plan in place. Hopefully at my next appointment we can talk a bit more in depth. 

    @SparkySunDevil I'm sorry! I hope you can get down sort of treatment soon. 
  • @SparkySunDevil Oh no! I hope you get some relief soon. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

  • @bacorrea ugh I wont miss northern ca for their cost of living. We lived there for about six years then moved to Raleigh area last summer so we could settle down and be able to get a house without a one million dollars loan. I guess @jayandaplus and I have even more in common haha.

    I do miss the milder weather there!


  • Hope you are feeling ok @SparkySunDevil
  • @BeachMommy2B my pregnancies have all sucked. They've all come with their fair share of issues. 

    Idk what the plan is right now. I have to call my doctor today, let him know I was in and follow up with him. Today I have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. All pretty standard with gallstones, from what I understand. 

    I'm guessing we will just leave the gallbladder alone until after baby is here (only 39 days until my delivery date). Unless there is a reason for concern. I didn't have the nausea and diarrhea yesterday, just the pain. 
  • @SparkySunDevil , I found out I have gallstones back in January--the doctor told me that they wouldn't do anything unless they started causing extreme pain, which they haven't. Even after the baby comes, they will likely just let it ride unless it starts to bother me. I think it depends on the severity. I'm sorry you are going through this...so annoying.

    I called my doctors office this morning and I was basically told the same. Which is what I was expecting, to be honest. So I'm just hydrating and resting today. 
  • @starphish18 Sorry I missed this, but thank you for the recommendation! I ended up going with a non-maternity maxi dress from Dress Barn, and I think it worked pretty well (plus I can wear it after pregnancy). But I love the dresses on Pinkblush and will need one more shower dress, so I may give it a go now. I hope you like yours! :)
