My midwife came over today for my 36 week appoimntment (even though I am 2 days away from 36 weeks)Everything seems to be going well :) Bub's head has engaged, I hadn't even noticed anything different besides my hips hurt a bit and I had a little more pressure on my bladder..none of that 'lightening...

So I posted last week about the OB thinking I was still breech, and possibly wanting to do an external version on me. I also mentioned that spinningbabies.com confused the crap out of me because I couldn't tell the difference between a big movement and a small movement, or a head and a butt. Well, t...

So my OB thinks I'm still breech. I'm 34 weeks along, which means I still have plenty of time for the baby to flip, and I'm trying not to worry about it too much. However, the hospital I'm delivering at has a strict policy against vaginal deliveries for breech babies, so I'm spooked. She's got me go...

I'm due on monday and my doctor is advising that I have a c-section on tuesday.  He seems to be concerned with the fact that I"ve had no contractions yet and the babys head is still very high and hasn't decended.  He mentioned that my baby is probably too big ...

After being pointed toward belly mapping earlier today I thought I might have a go at it. And I just wanted to get other peoples' opinions too. I get a definite bulge on my upper right abdomen, smooth rolling movements across the middle/right top, more powerful jabs on the upper right, little pokes ...

Does anyone have pictures of their baby in funny positions from the outside? I was just laying on the couch and when i went to get up I could tell exactly where she was/how she was laying by the outline/bulge in my belly. It was over to the right and the rest of my uterus was softer. I just fin...

Tuesday November 18, 2008 was pretty much like any other day in late pregnancy. I woke up in the morning still tired from the worst night’s sleep EVER wishing that the baby would just come out so I could be done with being pregnant. Prior to this day I was doing a lot of trying to coax Lillian...

I just have to share my excitement. I had my 35 week appointment today and everything went very well. (With the exception of waiting an hour to be seen, but that's normal. Ugh.) My doctor came in and immediately asked if I had any questions, which I did. I asked her if she could tell what posit...

She turned! Yay baby girl! I have to say this is the best Christmas present ever. I spent all day yesterday walking Great Lakes Crossing with my best friend and I kept having to lean over the shopping basket because my stomach hurt. I kept telling her it felt like she dropped and I had a bowling bal...

apparently, sayeth google analytics, the oh-so-clever phrase “if you sprinkle when you tinkle” is one of the most common search terms that leads people to this little website. (sorry to disappoint you, folks — no cross-stitch patterns to be found here!) so, um, yeah…i’m gon...
