@hope2bAmom29 Me too! It took me 4 years to convieve this kid and I don't want anything to happen to him. Yeah, some people say my bump is huge for how far along I am (I'm like what finishing school did you go to that taught you to say that to a pregnant women) and others say I'm barely showing. My doc and nurse said that you can lay on there until it's uncomfortable for you. It's more you back they're worried about and that's not till your further along. You have a major atery that runs through there called your vena cavea that when baby is big enough, he/she will press on it. It is one of the parts of your body that controls heart rate, that's why it's such a big deal. But they said even then, if you can't get comfortable on your side, use a pillow under your back where you're more at an angle than flat on your back. How far along are you?
@sgthalesbabies I'm only 6w 1d ..so they say don't sleep on your bck ?? O wow that's the first I have heard that but I don't have to worry til I'm further along !! I think your belly is cute n I can't wait to get one ...your rite did u slap them when they said that lol j/k . And its your left side u should sleep on rite ?? I'm so nervous cause one of my ftube does not work n I was told I can conceive but its gonna be twice as hard for me to so its amazing that I'm 6w n I want to do everything rite so I don't lose this miracle child !!! Thank u so much for all the info n if u have more please share it helps a lot
@hope2bAmom29 they said your left side is best because it provides the most flow of oxygen to the baby. And don't worry, I'm not just pulling this out of my @$$, lol. I am a paramedic and when we go through scenarios (haven't had it happen in real life yet) and we have a pregnant women complaining of dizziness, that's the first thing we do is roll them up on their left side. But that doesn't mean that is the ONLY position you can sleep or lie in. When you're sleeping, it's whatever is comfortable to you. Right now of the maybe 4 hrs I actually sleep a night (the belly is a great thing, but gets in the way!) i prob spend 1/3
I knew from about 9 wks that it was a boy. Just intuition I guess. This pregnancy has been killer on my body and I figured that it had to be a man to put me through all that, lol. But I got what I wanted so I'm happy! Congrats to you too. My son's godmother had to have one of her ovaries and tubes removed at 15 and they took the other set in her early 20s. So our little dude has two mommies, lol!
@sgthalesbabies o wow I'm in the medical field n was gonna get started in nursing school but I'm gonna wait now its a great field n will never be out of work ..ok so left side is better got it I always slept on my rite side n it still feels more comfortable on the rite but I don't want to hurt baby I wouldn't think u could still sleep on your belly once it starts showing ..but I guess u prove that u can do u know anything about finding a Dr threw health dept ?? I lost my insurance when I moved n I hate the thought about going that route but can't keep my insurance any longer ?? I'm just nervous about where to start thank u so much again for the info ..
@sgthalesbabies ...ya men seem to do that to us lol ... o wow sorry to hear that but that's awesome two mommies is great to have .... I've know for forever that I wanted a boy but I'm just hoping n praying for healthy I will be happy with anything ...
@hope2bAmom29 As far as the whole Dr thing goes, I'm not really sure. My husband is Army, so we have pretty decent medical insurance (can't complain too much about something you don't pay for). My sister on the other hand had all three of her babies without health insurance? Have you applied for medicaid and WIC yet? I know she had medicaid when she was pregnant and it covered everything. She used the same doc all three times and he was an amazing OB. Before getting married and moving out of state, I even used him for my GYN (wasn't preggo at the time!).That was all in Georgia though, and it's been 2 years since her last little one so things might be different depending on the state you're in and also with Obama in the White House now, who knows what kind of screwed up regualtions there are. I am on WIC (Women Infants and Children), and I know for those who need it they can help you find medical help. WIC is a supplementary program to help you get the healthy foods you and baby need and after baby is born they will help with formula as well. We get 4.75 gallons of milk, cheese, cereal, beans, bread and some other staples each month. It is nice to get a little break on the grocery bill, lol. I would say start with your health dept or Dept of Family and Children services to get more info on both programs.
@sgthalesbabies o wow ok sounds good that makes me feel alot better about it ...ill apply for Medicaid n wic ...n ill start at health dept first thank you !!! I just moved to Alabama from fl where I was born n raised so I'm just alittle
