re: may moms...

Quoting ~Ivana331~:“ awww, don't think that way! I am sure he will be just fine! And even if he does have to go to the NICU ... [snip!] ... of the NICU in mid march! he was only 31 weeks gestation. You are almost full term, so don't worry it'll all be just fine!  ”

I had the shots so she is sure he'll be fine and he measures big, but I guess it's a mom thing to worry!lol. I had a friend that had her baby at 23 weeks and she is ok.   I would never want to be her.

I had false labor for days, lasting Sunday through Wednesday... now I'm just having painful BH's that are sporadic but get terrible at night.
Oh, and the lovely nausea/diarrhea has set in.
I'm thinking he'll be here in a week, or drop out of me around the full moon on the 20th.
My stomach feels like it's going to explode all over the place!

Ya you too 

Quoting Heather_G:“ They stopped your labor? My hospital won't stop anything after 34 weeks it sucks. We don't have a NICU either the closet one is a hour away.”

i know i was surprised they stopped it but i was also really glad. like i said i have one more thing for this semester to do and i missed it once i have to do this before the baby is born. i never really thought it would be a problem since i'm not due until june 1st and my exam was supposed to be may 1st.
now i am just on the terbutaline pills every 4 hours and after almost having to go back to the hospital today i am never going to be late at taking them again until after monday anyway.

Quoting June baby 2008:“ So you don't have to take the thing out of your leg just unhook the tube?”

i changed my pump site every five days. i was switching legs all of the time at first but then i decided to just stay to one leg b/c it seemed like the old holes weren't completely healing and i will probably have little scars there or something so i figured i'd rather have one leg with a whole bunch of little scars than both legs.
and advice for anyone getting the pump... the nurse told me it hurts less if you take the needle and just jam it in. just count to 3 she said... i did that for the first few times and then i started to not be able to do it so my husband was stabbing me with the needle. i found doing it really really slow hurt a whole lot less!

Ya, that was nice they stopped it. My onlineclasses go until June 16th so I'm kind of screwed with the school thing, I was going to finish them early, but I haven't had the energy. Legal Research is not interesting right now!   I have terbutaline pills too, but I'm not going to take them once the pump is gone. They were my back up.

Wow thats still crazy! I couldn't do it I would have someone stab me w/ the needle while I was sleeping lol

i am so interested in all of my studies most of the time, but i am a huge school nerd. i love everything to do with school. and i haven't really had energy problems lately. i have gotten a big burst of energy it seems in the past few weeks which is probably why i was able to get so much done. but i am not on bed rest or anything which is great.i wouldn't have been able to finish school had the doctor ordered that for me. i can't wait to be done with this semester though either b/c then i have it done and i don't have to worry about it again all summer b/c i am far enough in the program where i only need my internship and i will have my first masters degree and a few more classes and internships and i will have my second. i'm excited.

I've been on bedrest since March so my whole quarter has been online. I blew through my first four years in two years, but I just started law school in October and this is the first time ever I haven't been that interested in doing school work. I still doit, butfor some reason just hate doing it right now! lol. I think it might be because I'm at home and I don't have the interaction with other people as much.

well good luck to you and your baby getting here soon. i hope mine stays in there for a ltitle while longer at least. i would have went crazy on bedrest with my daughter being 3 and really super active.
i am not huge on people interactions so i wouldn't have minded that part lol. it's funny since i'm going to school for counseling.
well i hope you have a good rest of the night i gotta get my daughter ready for bed and get myself ready too.

Yep! My little guy has been trying to make an apperance for about 3 wks now! I am at the point now where they will let him be born, and he isn't budging now! LOL.. just my luck! I am at 4cm though... so it should go fast when it happens!
