I know this is easier said than done; but try to calm down, think positively & deep breaths. The more agitated you are; your blood pressure/heart rate will rise resulting in the baby reacting to it. My last baby was born at almost 35 weeks (34wks 6dys) she was 4lbs 1oz 16.75in she was in NICU for 3 weeks to gain weight but was perfectly healthy otherwise. Hang in there; we are all rooting for you & baby!! %%-
Heart rate is slowly but surely rising. Its worked its way up to 115-130, which is still low compared to usual but its better than 95. I'm so tired right now its 4 in the morning and i habent been able to sleep since i got here. I feel like its my fault he's struggling. Idk what to do
Lol, don't worry about your friend, this is your life andvyour baby... Who wants to meet you on Mothers Day. What an awesome gift. I keep reading all your updates and am excited overtime I see a new one. We are all cheering.g for you and baby and my thoughts and prayers are with you both!!! It's not your fault he's struggling, I think he's conflicted... Do I meet my wonderful mama now, or stick to the plan and meet her on Mothers Day??
prayers coming your way through these next few days leading up to your delivery! i wish you the best of luck mama. i must say though you had me loling about "rotating like a rotisserie chicken"
Prayers for you and your baby boy hun, try and relax as much as you can and stay calm. I know its hard but you have to try hun. Hopefully he stays in there until mothers day and comes out perfectly healthy for you that day hun! I think that's the most amazing thing, what a gift! Best advise I can give you for induction, is walk and use a girthing ball as much as possible and stay calm and keep your body relaxed! Don't tense up or it can stall labor. Good luck and congrats hun!!! Praying for you and that little man!
I hope yuh n ur babyboy are okk dnt wrry have faith in god n everything well come out good i am pregent with my second daughter n i am 33 week n i was soo close to losr her soo many time but god aint let nuttin bad happened i will have my prayer on ya
I've been reading this post on tender hooks and feel for you so much. I really can't wait to see the post with your gorgeous little boy on it. Good luck momma x x
@babyboyontheway well hopefully you have till Sunday to decide on the spelling. good luck mama!!! You and you're baby boy are going to be just dandy and happy as can be on Mother's day!!
I've been following this story as well! That's pretty tacky of what she told you. My mil said the same thing to me when we told hetmr the EDD she was like 'oh have it earlier since we're going to a family friends graduation that week.' Which really upset my husband since he's their eldest son and our first child after a loss last year. I kinda don't mind it but am I supposed to will this baby out before than? Lol...well good luck and we're all praying and rooting for you for staying strong
Today is going to be real unevenful. I'm supposed to just rest up for Saturday. Got my 2nd steriod shot 6:30 this morning WHILE I WAS SLEEPING! man it hurt bitch could have warned me to brace myself i wouldn't have jumped so high. Apparently my dr came in around 8 but i was knocked out didn't even hear him (didn't fall asleep till around 4am finally even tho they 'double-dosed?' me an ambien at 9:30 pm it didn't make me fall asleep but it coulve been why his heart rate stayed so low all night.) Anyway, he reviewed the strip and wasn't impressed, but will b back to see me tomorrow morning probably to basically schedule the inducement and brief me on what's to come. I'm as ready as ill ever be. I have my Mom getting everything ready at home. Cleaning my home like a nut (like id be doing), vaccuming and dusting my car to put carseat in, sending the crib sheet/blanket and any other new clothes to aunts to be washed since i don't have a washer or dryer. I still havent found a pediatrician or gotten any of the court paper ready to take bd to court. I planned on having those all ready but the courts are a pain in the ass and i still havent gotten everything i need. Soooooooo... i will be on throughout the day just to talk to u guys keep my mind busy, actually read some other posts for entertainment i haven't clicked on another persons post in days but today is relaxation day Love love love, I'm going to to take a shower before any family comes by.
@kayleigh27 wth that is not ok. I mean, babys arnt going to come on anybodys schedule but they own, and for someone who is totally insignificant to the deliver to say something so selfish, family n friends usually mean well but they don't always think about what they say. Maybe its because if we weren't preggo we'd usually at least take laugh at dumb comments. But i was not laughing. I was annoyed. Hey if she don't wanna be here GREAT one less person to share his first day with lol.
Yeah I know it wasn't ok. It really did upset my husband and it was back in october that we told them so its not like we told them a week before and they had plane tickets or something. I can understand if it was family but its a family friend. Some people really don't think before speaking. But if she is born on the 18 of may and they're gone we wont have any help due to my family living 16 hours away and my moms a teacher she'll be busy with school fixing to end. So we'll be alone for a few days. But hey maybe it's for the best that we learn on our own and I can always call my friend if I have any questions
I'm so glad they have a plan in place for you. Hopefully your little man cooperates with it! I'm glad it sounds like your spirits are at least a little higher than they were!
I'm gonna do a belly cast in a couple minutes i bought it a while ago but was waiting towards the end of my pregnancy to do so id be my biggest and roundest lol the end is here! I will post a pic of it when I'm doing/finished with it hehe at least i can show him how big mommy was just days before having him
Happy to hear things r working out-can't wait to c pix when he arrives. I love seeing when u update...been following! I kinda feel like a stalker lol. Good luck w being induced (I had pitocin w my 1st and 3rd and all went well) and relax until then
Awe honey I just read what is going on. I'm praying hard. I'm so happy you got the shots! You will have that beautiful prince in your arms real soon. Focus on the positive. Lol the fold out bed my bd and my daughter slept on was way more comfy then that bed.
well I wish you the best of luck soon to be mama. I've been induced before. Hunny listen to the docs and stay calm. I almost lost my son because his heart rate went down way to far and he was being suffocated. He had his cord wrapped around his chest inbetween his legs and squeezing him. Not nearly as bad as what your going through. It dealt stinks you can't get upband walk because that's the best thing if th induced you. At least it was for me. I wish you the best of luck!!! Mothers day would be a great day but better if he would stay a bit longer in the belly for his sake. Hunny I couldn't imagine going through what your going through your one strong lady! Your son will love you. I was born on mother day too. But my bday is the 12th so no mothers day bday this year. I wish you the best of luck! And again may God bless you both. Thanks for keeping us posted!
Oh m gee i got the biggest shock of my life today. My ex, the father, showed up to see me. Some of u know my story-how we had a five year relationship and were real close, lived together and had every plan in the world to get married and have a family, when the day i found out i was pregnant we seperated. It was a really ugly break up that involved cops,court, and just basically hurt pain and misery. Well i haven't seen his face literally since the day before thanksgiving which was our last court date. I've tried getting ahold of him over the course of the pregnancy but he's ignored everything and wanted nothing to do with me or the baby. Apparently my Auntie sent him a txt today saying "i know this is a longshot, but victoria is in the hospital,since Monday, and there might be something wrong with your sons heart. She's really scared and will be induced sat night. I think u should see her". And he started talking to her! My Aunt was always his favorite and always responded well to her. Before moving into our own place, we had lived with her and her partner for about 5 months, and they really had a good relationship. I'm just stunned he came today. He didn't say much, and didn't stay long. But by the time he left i was crying. It was emotional for me i haven't seen the prick and we didn't excatly leave on good terms. But my Aunt did finally get an asnwer to the majic question I've been asking him for the last 3 months; does he want to be in the delivery room, and i think he's actually going to be there.
On another note, I'm so glad the nurses let me get up to do my belly cast today. Its so cool. I'm going to paint it and have his footprints stamped onto the tummy when we return home (obviously we can't paint it here in the room or i totally would lol) but its something to do when I'm home and feeling better, and his feet r a little plumper and fuller it'll be so darn cute i can hang it in his nursery. Other than that, not much happened today. My dr will be in tomorrow morning and i will hhave many of my questions answered. And i will definitley update if anything happens tonight, and after i hear from my dr. My Auntie brought me a cloring book today. She cracks me up. I think ill color a butterfly. Much love
Wow hun, well im glad he is making an effort!! I love the pic of the belly cast! Its so cute!! Can't go wrong with a coloring book!!! Excited for a good update in the morning!
