re: *NEW OFFICIAL NOVEMBER 2012 DUE DATE THREAD*

I am beyond upset right now. I posted on facebook day before yesterday about rehoming my dog kato & I found a home & she's leaving Sunday   I love her more than anything but no matter what I've tried to do to prepare her for the baby it doesn't work & its giving her anxiety issues because we live in an apartment & she has nowhere to run around at. I've been setting stuff up for the baby & she's taken it as I'm neglecting her attention wise so she's been chewing up the carpet & my clothes(she has bones & chewies & toys)she's also been taking the babies stuff & hiding it from me. I didn't want to get rid of her but I know she'd be doing a lot better if she had a yard to run in & a family that could give her the time she needs right now

Quoting MissMommy03!:" Havent visited this thread in a loooong time. And now we are almost done!! I cant believe Ive only got ... [snip!] ... strong contractions. Nothing that worries me, but Im hoping it will help tone my uterus so maybe my labor wont be super long."

This is my 5th. It has by far been the hardest on my body.

anyone's bambino have hiccups but you dont feel them where you used to feel them in the beginning, it's now towards your vagina? i'm confused. i feel the hiccups excatly how i used to feel them, it's just now more towards my lower tummy. it's a crazy feeling.

uhh I swear once a week for a few days for the past month I've had diarrhea! it's driving me crazy (TMI I know) lol
I can't complain everything else is going well, but my tummy troubles really blow (no pun intended lol)

Make sure you're getting plenty of water!! Dehydration can do that to ya..

I can feel her hiccup in my pelvic area like by my butt, from baby's head being down there now!!

OH MY GOD! meeeee toooo!!! in fact i was getting nervous about it, but i guess it's normal & okay. at least we arent constipated haha.

I feel like all I do is drink water and gatorade! and then it'll go away for a week and come back with a vengance! I never had issues like this w/my son until I was actually in labor!

i've been a good water drinker, but lately it fills me up so quickly. today however i'm starting a better streak of drinking lots of water because my edema is out of control!!!!

I'm not as good about drinking 8 glasses of water..I try but if I do I'll end up in the bathroom all day at work! lol

Since my hip has been giving me so many problems I bought an exercise/birthing ball. Has anyone used them & had any improvement in that area?

No, but I've wanted to get one bad! Let me know how you like it!

Yes! I sit on mine every night and it really helps with my back hip and pelvic pain. Also, leaning forward while you sit on it encourages baby to get in the best possible position for delivery

It definitely helps relieve pain with labor  ... I don't know what's wrong with your hip, but I've had hip problems even since before I got pregnant with my 1st.. They'll hurt sooo bad, on & off, and will give out on me, like to where I can't walk.. I've been going to the chiropractor throughout this pregnancy for it, and it's improved so much!! Yesterday is the first day they were hurting me in a long time, but only because I haven't been to the chiropractor in like 3 + weeks.. They haven't given out on me in a long time. Chiropractor helps a lot! Sometimes it just takes some time for improvement.. Started out going twice a week & now I'm down to every 2-3 weeks.

You all make me want to get a birthing ball..I'm still feeling great but sometimes after work and carrying my 40lb three year old around my back aches a little...I try to convince him to give me a massage but he ain't having it lol
