@DarkSerendipity FX for little baby! I hope it all goes well no matter if you can keep him in or he comes early. Keep us updated and try to relax (I know saying his is pointless but I have too!)
@DarkSerendipity you and baby will be in my thoughts. I hope no matter what the outcome of the turbutaline that both you a LO get the best outcome for the circumstances at hand. T's & P's for a healthy outcome either way!!
@kghusker1003 I can only imagine your circumstances and sympathize for you. Give the Zoloft some time. It does take about a month. Prayers that your beautiful baby girl gets to come home soon.
@ginger1228 If this baby doesn't recognize my singing voice when she's out then I need a new career, haha . DD was a very fussy newborn but singing to her often helped, even if just a little bit.
As a private voice teacher I've found that adult students are the shyest when it comes to singing in front of others because they often have fears leftover from childhood about their voice. Don't be afraid to sing to your babies, moms!!! Even if you are convinced you stink (which I'm sure you all do not!) your baby will think it is the most beautiful sound in the world!
@OperaSingerMommy - that is such wonderful advice. I am self conscious of my singing voice, but still sang to DS often. One time DS told me I had "the most beautiful voice" and my heart just about exploded. I have found that singing to him also helps relax and soothe me! I haven't been good about singing to this LO but am using this as my reminder to start right now!
This is so true! How are you doing? Have you found anything helpful or been able to reach out for any support that you need?
I didn't realize before LO #1 how intense that it could be. I had only heard of PPD and didn't realize that the normal hormone shift after delivery was so common.
This baby is in my lungs. I had to have a meeting with a future student and her mom, and I kept getting out of breath. They were looking at me funny like they were concerned for my well being. LOL
I left 4 messages with the "OB coordinator" at my doctors office to schedule my non-stress tests. She still has not called me back. Its so annoying. They want one every week with my OB appointment from 36 weeks to delivery. Is anyone else getting this? I didn't have them with my previous 2 pregnancies, not sure if its something new... or if its cause i'm old

Are you over 35? I think it's standard for most cases when the mother is over 35. Or if you are high risk for any other reason. I didn't have any last pregnancy, but it's been mentioned this time due to my GD.
@AdaByron and @mamadcb - I am 35 so I'm also AMA, but they told me that everyone gets them now. An acquaintance of mine who is 27 also did them. Could just be the practice I go to... But yeah, I didn't do them when I was younger. And it is annoying! You are right, if they want me to do them, they need to call me back.
@notachanski it's a standard in the practice I work for to schedule NSTs from 36 weeks out of you are over 35, so that might be it. Also, if you have a diagnoses that could affect baby like @AdaByron mentioned (GD, Pre-e, IUGR etc). I don't know your practice but you should be able to schedule it with your appointment so you don't have to go a separate time.
Does anyone ever get the feeling that they're being scratched from the inside once in a while? Seriously think this baby has talons in there sometimes!

To add to that - tomorrow some of us will be saying "Baby is due THIS month" and the rest will say "NEXT month."
CRAZYYY!!!!!
@kghusker1003 I'm sorry you are going through so much right now. Hugs to you mama!
@ginger1228 I KNOW. I will most likely have a baby in a month or less. How crazy is that??
DS born 6/2017, became a heart angel 8/2018
CP 3/2019
@kghusker1003 I can't imagine having to leave your sweet girl! Thinking of you and hoping that the Zoloft helps and she is able to come home soon.

@kghusker1003 I can't imagine all the emotions you are feeling now. Stay strong lady! Sending positive vibes your way.

I am 35 this time so AMA but haven't heard anything about NSTs, and I've got all my appointments from now until delivery already scheduled.
