~BebaOnBoard~ DueJuly27th!!!

What was your experience leading up to it? Like braxton hicks or no, lose your mucous plug or no, water broke on its own or had to be broken?

This is my first and I was having preterm contractions at 35 weeks that had to be stopped via shot although my cervix was closed still... Just want to hear your stories and know if she could be early or not.

Thanks :]

On Monday, I was having some pain and what I thought was a cramping feeling. I called my doctor to come in. When I went to my doc, she said that the pain was not a blatter infection and was concerned also because they baby's heartbeat was too high. She sent me to labor & delivery at the hospital for assessment.

After sitting on the monitors for a couple hours, baby's heart beat was back to normal. I was wheeled down for an u/s and everything looked fine. Upon coming back up the doc told me that I was having "real" contractions more than what is allowed of 4 per hour and I was given a shot to stop them. I sat on the monitors until they subsided and was ordered to bedrest Monday night and all Tues.

My cervix is still closed. So they call this pre-term contractions without the pre-term labor. My understanding is it can develop into pre-term labor. I still had contractions Mon. night and some yest. And am going to be put on a pill to stop them.

Will my baby come early?

RIGHT NOW AT 34 WEEKS, SEX IS UGGGHHH! LET'S JUST SAY- NOT THE GREATEST. YOU ARE LIMITED IN POSITIONS, BULKY AND LACKING THE ENERGY.

MY FIANCEE AND I HAD A WONDERFUL SEX LIFE BEFORE PREGNANCY- THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP THIS WAY AND I AM JUST WONDERING WILL IT EVER BE THE SAME?

WOMEN KEEP TELLING ME, IT NEVER FEELS THE SAME. IS THAT TRUE? IS THAT WHY WOMEN WANT C-SECTIONS?

WHAT'S YOUR EXPERIENCE/INSIGHT ON THIS?

I am 34 weeks and the past two weeks have been brutal for me.

I am stressed and have anxiety...

People keep saying the rudest and most hurtful things to me.

My mind is on another planet. I am very good at managing my finances but somehow managed to write 7 checks and never transferred my money to that account incurring $210 in overdraft protection fees.

I feel drained. I felt exhausted, even a bit sick from everything that has been going wrong paired with the way my body feels.

I don't know if I can do this if it gets any worse. Is this normal?

How about a star to pick me up???

I am 32 weeks, 3 days pregnant and the tops of my feet are really red. When I press on them they turn white for several moments... What is this and should I be worried?

I don't believe it does as I have witnessed small women have big babies and big women have small babies. I was somewhat overweight before I got pregnant but not huge or obese and I don't have gestational diabetes. I am almost 30 weeks right now and I am carrying more all over than in the front. Anyways people at my job keep saying my baby is going to be huge and this sort of offends me as many others can't believe how small my bump looks. For the norm, I mean pregnancies with no problems what is most common? I'm curious...

Chci tě mít při sobĕ!

Stole something? Switched a price tag? A friend of mine is applying for the police department and had to take a polygraph test. She was truthful in that as a teenager she switched price tags a couple times and once stole something from a convenient store. This was ten plus years ago as she is now 26. I said I thought it was better not tell the truth since you have the opportunity to explain rather than to lie and have them wondering and know that you cannot even be truthful about your mistakes. How many of you had to do the same and still got a job with the police department? What are her chances?

I have my 6 month check-up on Weds. I am freaking out. I was overweight pre-pregnancy and am very self conscience about my weight. I gained 14 at my last visit and that was 21 weeks. I am so scared going there. I get anxiety literally a week before that only gets worse. Not only about weight but about everything. Is this normal?

I keep getting numbness in my left leg above the knee. It just started happening recently and I am wondering if my baby is sitting on a nerve and how do I get her to move if so? I couldn't even walk from my car into work this morning because I was afraid it would go completely numb and I'd fall. Whatever info you have is appreciated. Experience stories too... thanks!

Wasn't sure... it's going to be a femal only shower. He might stop by at the end to thank the guests.

I love my car. It is a beautiful Scion TC 2 door hatch back that looks like it is a sedan. I purchased the car a year ago before I got pregnant as it was unplanned. It has only 2 doors but they are longer than standard doors and the back seats are sort of sloped so you slide in instead of sitting up. The back is a hatch back and has plenty of room for a stroller, etc. Anyways, EVERYONE makes comments about my car. "Oh you're going to have a tough time with a two door, etc., etc." I cannot afford a new car and just wondering if these people who have never driven a 2 door with kids have a point. Any of you have a two door and get along just fine. Just curious for your stories...

Baby name people are much harsher than us that hang around the pregnancy section so I still am undecided on a middle name, list your favorite. Amira IS the first name. Any and all additional suggestions not on my list are welcome and appreciated!

Okay.... AMIRA _____________________

I had an ultrasound at 17 weeks to determine the gender? I am just wondering what is routine in these later visits? Every time I see the doctor he just asks how I am feeling. Is this all they do or will they examine me or what??? Thank you for the help.

I am so confused about what I need obviously bottles, brushes, diapers, onesies, socks but what else? I hear yes get this, no don't get that? What are the things you couldn't live without and what things do you wish you would not even have ever bothered? This list Target gives you seems a bit extravagant...

I have heard about this thing and seen them? Are they worth the investment or no? What is it's benefits and why use one?

Originally I liked Mishelle but it has kinda lost its appeal to me. Please come up with some middle names for my baby. Her first name will be Amira and her middle name is up to you. I don't like very old fashioned names or names after objects like Lilly or Apple. Modern but not strange.... For example if it was a boy he would have been Jakob Riley. Also my fiancee is from Bosnia and Amira is a Bosnian name so I would like for the name to be American if possible. Sorry I am so picky but thank, thank, THANK you for any and all suggestions!

We found out Feb. 20th we are having a baby girl, please let me know which name you like best. The first two are my absolute favorites so it will probably be betweeb those two. Just so you know, I lalalalooove 'A' names....

1st choice- Sarah Aubrey

2nd choice- Amira Mishelle

3rd choice- Amaya Lynn

4th choice- Aundrea Rose

I am 4 months pregnant and have already fallen four times-never on my stomach. I am a former soccer player with 'bad' ankles. They have always been very weak and now it is worse. They are just giving out constantly- twice on the bottom of the stairs, once when I was walking my dog and once just while walking. Most of the time I fall on my legs/knees but it is very embarassing and I am so afraid I am going to end up falling on my belly. Is this a condition while pregnant? I have heard of weakness in joints which causes more injuries for pregnant women... What should I do? Can I wear ankle braces that can be purchased over-the-counter or will that add to my swelling and end up making them weaker? Any advice, please, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
