re: OFFICIAL JULY 2013 THREAD (pt. 2)

Quoting DylansMommy(12 weeks!):" Haha that's a great comeback!! I agree with you! How on earth does he know what it feels like and doesn't ... [snip!] ... doctors, they still have to "know everything" haha I'm sorry. But I'm sure if you felt the baby then you did. You would know."

I cant stand doctors sometimes they think they know everything. And lots of time we as moms are right before them.
But i dont agree with the feeling everything sooner as the kids go on. I always thought that was the case but with my first i felt her at 17 weeks, 2nd was 13 weeks and my 3rd i still havent felt anything and ill be 15 in a couple days. Im also smaller this time around than i was with my last one.

Middle of March! So far away!

Quoting *Mega Mom*:" I have been lurking, sorry ladies. With all the ups and downs of the HG, and with all the other changes ... [snip!] ... high   hoping for another solution... Those hospital beds are so uncomfortable. Anyway, enough about me. How are you ladies?"

How exciting for the gender scan today!! I hope you don't have to go to the hospital either. Our beds used to be uncomfortable until they built a new wing and go comphy beds. It's great from what I've been told. Keep us posted though on what's going on! Can't wait to find out what you're having!

Quoting Kara-lynn:" 13.2 weeks! heard the HB last night 156 bpm!!! " />" />"

Yay for belly pictures!! Still waiting till I get a little further along before positing any, still just looks like a gut haha

Quoting *Lindsey*(14 weeks):" hahaha it took me along time to do it. I went there like 10 times before i acutally got the courage ... [snip!] ... about just asking if i could buy it. But i was like pfff they arent going to notice they have hundreds of these laying around."

Right?! I was in high school when I did it, we didn't need much thinking at the time haha Now, I'm sure it would take me forever and then I would chicken out haha

I did it when we were there having supper and drinks before my sisters stagette, So there was like 15 of us...so there was lots on the table and we were loud and i just felt like i was sneaky about it. hahahaha i felt so bad walking out like a cop was gunna come after me or something.

Really? This is only my 2nd one so I only have the first to go off. I felt my son around 3 months, I can't remember the exact week but I will never forget the day, it was on my birthday. This one I felt at 11 weeks. I'm kinda showing a lot sooner too but it helped that I already was bigger this time than I was the first time haha Each kiddo is different that's for sure!!

Yeah for sure everything was faaster with my 2nd too. I felt her sooner, got bigger way faster, adn had a faster labour. This one everything is behind...but im still hoping for the fast labour!

I hope you have a fast labor too. My first labor was HORRIBLE!!! I was in labor for 22.5 hours, my water had been broken for 17 of those hours, when I got the Epidural my sons heart rate dropped drastically and it was hard to get it back but they still wouldn't do anything about it, and then I finally got my c-section right before 24hrs was up. It was horrible!! I was stuck in bed the whole time because I had preeclampsia so with the magnesium to stop the seisers from happening I couldn't walk around and couldn't eat for 3 days. It sucked!! This one though I'm having a scheduled C-Section so it will be much better   (Sorry I can't spell haha)

oh dear lord! i probably wouldnt have had another one...My first one my water started leaking and contractions came like 1-2 minutes apart instantly i got to the hospital and was already 6 cm...i had her like 3 hours from the time my water leaked at home, adn the 2nd one went the exact same. Water leaked went in they broke it for me and had her like 2 hours later. I went from 4cm to pushing in 20 minutes. 2nd one was faster, but way worse... Her shoulders got stucked and i had a tilted uterus or something and they were like dont push dont push adn well you know when they tell you that..haha they just made me nervous! but all was good. It was just too quick

Wow!! That sounds pretty much perfect lucky! I was scared at first but the chance of having preeclampsia goes down with the 2nd since it's the same father as the first. Which is nice to know because that scared me. The dr made me cry when he told me I could have a seiser before birth, during birth, and after birth. He came and apologized though which was nice. This time, we get to pick the date, go to the hospital, get ready, get my Epidural, then off to surgery. It'll be nice. She said the recovery will go a lot smoother too. I couldn't walk without support last time for like 2 weeks, and even then I still had to go slow. It was horrible. I'm just hoping she's right and this one will be easy.

I hope its easier too! That would be weird to pick babies birthday. And to knoe exactly when your having it. But i guess for real prepared people it would be nice. I would be so scared to get a c-section! they freak me out...

Right?! But it will be nice this time around for work and stuff. That and the little man will be going to school shortly after the baby's born so if I can do it a few weeks before that and get us all on a good schedule it will make waking up a lot easier to get him ready for school. If we had the baby on the due date of the 29th it would only be like 5 days and that wouldn't be enough time because I would be in the hospital 3 of those 5 days haha C-Sections scared me too and honestly they still do a little but I have faith in my doctor and I know it'll go much better than last time this time around.

Yeah im sure it will all go fine. Just a kinda scary thing in general. my kids dont start school till september so ill have like 7 weeks of relaxation before they go back. Altho im not looking forward to packing a baby up every morning while its sleeping to take her to school. I may switch her schools so that she can take the bus. We were supposed to do that last year but i said id drive one more year. It does get to be a bit much though.

Oh wow I bet! September still? There's school's that still do that?! WOW!!! We did that here when I was a kid but then it changed to the beginning of August when I was in middle school. How old is she? I don't think I'm going to let Dylan ride the bus till he's in like first grade haha
