Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Update on my pregnancy!       #221349 - 10/26/05 08:36 AM Edit Reply Quote RachelT Reged: 07/01/04 Posts: 2350 Loc: Minnesota Hello everyone! I'm hoping you all will keep your fingers crossed for DH, baby and me! We're at 37 weeks (for those of you who aren't familiar with the average duration of a pregnancy, it's about 40 weeks!). Baby has dropped into the "engaged" position and I feel like she's gonna fall out on her own! We had another non-stress test done yesterday to make sure she's doing well, and got the A-ok from our doc. I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions ("practice contractions") and I am so so ready to deliver! Our doctor says she's gonna be at least 7 lbs, which I think is perfect!... not too small, not too big! I'm expecting (well hoping!) to have her by this time next week! I'll keep you all updated! Love & Hugs to everyone! -------------------- ~ Rachel (IBS-C) If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!!

I lie in bed at night and think about what she looks like. I also dress her and feed her in my thoughts too! It's gonna be so wonderful to finally meet her! -------------------- ~ Rachel (IBS-C) If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!!

I watch those shows too! The Learning Channel has about an hour and a half of baby shows every day (there each a half hour long). If I'm not napping, I try to get all of them in. I've seen so many different births and have really educated myself on what to expect! As for the rest... I've also gotten to the point where I'm so uncomfortable, that it's really hard to get to sleep at night. Last night, I think I averaged about 4 hours... on & off. Thankfully I don't work, so I have all day to try to catch up. I hope you're feeling better btw!! -------------------- ~ Rachel (IBS-C) If life hands you lemons, make lemonade!!

This is such an amazing time in your life...enjoy every second. Trust me it goes soooooo fast. So are you dilated at all?? Will you be induced?? I thought I would go early with my first....but ended up 4 days late Boys tend to do that!! So your little girl will know better than to keep mommy waiting. Well my little baby just stated crying...so I better run....GOOD LUCK!!!

I swear (and most women that I've told this to think I'm nuts) that being in l&d and having my son was one of the funnest days of my life. I told this to Cara on another post: if you dare, request a mirror so that you can watch what everyone else is watching - your baby come into this world! -------------------- ~jules Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all)
