Quoting Fried:" Yeah I couldn't believe he came out right at 12am . I think it's cool honestly alot of people think ... [snip!] ... its right before christmas and he won't get alot of presents even though he will, I think its fun! Was your first born early??"

yea it is pretty cool i just dont wanna be pregnant on christmas and spend christmas in the hospital   my first was born at 38 weeks 4 days cause i had pre eclampsia.

Yeah I know what you mean!
I go to go home on christmas day in the morning which I was thankful for.
Only part that sucked was everyone was gone for christmas so I never got to speak to the lactition for help because she was out.
Oh wow I was so scared of getting Pre E! Im really worried to get it with our second also.

yeah they say your more prone to getting pre-e with your first and usually if u dont get it with your first you should be in the clear.. but i got it with my first so i am xtra prone to getting it this time.

Some people say that but I've always thought and read that it has to do with the placenta so there's no connection. Meaning if you've had it in the past there isn't any greater chance of you getting it again. But everyone says something different so I don't know.

yeah, thats what my doctor told me that since i had it last time, there a better chance ill get it again.

That's what I'm saying, seems like every Dr. says something different. Mine actually told me that it doesn't matter. But I guess it doesn't really matter because if you've had it once I'm sure you're going to be extra observant in your next pregnancy, ya know? Now that I know what to look for I'll actually watch for it and take it a lot easier.

very true. like i had lots of soda and stuff with my first just didnt watch myself and i ended up with gestational diabetes. this time, i didnt drink any soda.. especially regular and never had energy drinks.. i really watched myself.. towards the midddle or end few months ive had diet sodas (still not good) but if i had one it was only one maybe every few days. but i dont have GD this time, so i must of known what to do.

Yep exactly! With me, I went to Disney World at 24 weeks and was on my feet all day long. I literally went from being sooo lazy to that and I gave myself contractions and so much swelling. It was horrible but I know now that I need to actually be a little more active every day for a little bit instead of all at once lol.

lol yea i didnt do any exercise with my first, and this one not much either but i am a little more active around the house

Quoting TRISHA(: 35 weeks:" did anybody feel like they were going to end up having their babies early, (not knowing they WERE GOING ... [snip!] ... 2-3 weeks.. idk why but its just a feeling.. just wanna know if any mamas had that feeling and their feeling ended up right."

i told everyone from day 1 i was not making it to 40 weeks. i went at 38.4, i was induced for medical reasons, it wasnt a scheduled induction.

I was certain I wouldn't make it to even 39 weeks.
Well...there's still a baby in my belly at two days past 40.
xD

I got a gut feeling around 34 weeks I wouldn't make it to full term, I just made it to term when I had my boy at 37 weeks (hospital dates) & 38 weeks on the dot from my dates. He was a nice size too (:
