How are the May mommies doing??

I am hanging in-31 weeks Monday. It has gone pretty fast. Passed my glucose very nicely! My OB is closely monitoring my blood pressure as I developed pre eclampsia late in my last pregnancy; which led to a 39 week induction. My goal this time is to avoid the high blood pressure and go into labor on my own. My first 2 labors were induced so I am looking forward to experiencing it on my own this time (fingers crossed). Because of our history, we have had 2 fetal echo's and the baby's heart is looking good!! We are pretty excited to meet our little man, but want to keep him cooking for as long as possible!! We did a maternity photoshoot last week and I cannot wait to see how everything turned out. Oh, and we "think" we may have a name.

How is everyone?

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

Almost 32 weeks here and overwhelmed with what I have left to do. Finish nursery decor, pack bag and I have to buy some nursing bras. Pick up some non-purchased registry items. I guess I still have time but, you never know what can happen.I'm paranoid that I'm going to go early.

I'm feeling pretty good. Having some trouble sleeping (tossing around) but other then that I'm feeling good.

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I am 30 weeks today (due 5/31).

I am feeling pretty good- just dealing with the normal stuff like feeling super heavy by the end of the day, peeing a little every time I cough (), not sleeping well b/c I can only sleep on my left side, etc. Overall though it seems that so far I have been blessed with another easy pregnancy.

I did have a mini panic attack a few nights ago when I realized that I have done nothing to get ready for this baby. My goal is to have our apartment ready by 5/10 when I am full term.

We picked a name! Yay for baby Layla!

I passed the one hour glucose test. The biggest decision now is when to plan for my csection. I won't plan it earlier than my due date (I want to go into labor naturally), so I am trying to figure out if I want to schedule it a few days after or give myself a week (schedule it after 41 weeks). I will be talking it through with my doctor over the next few visits.

I also need to find a newborn photographer!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

hi ladies! i am a technical may mommy due may 3 but they will induce at 39 weeks if i dont go into labor on my own bc of gestational diabetes and other risk factors.

so ....i have a week and a half left of work bc i just cant handle the standing anymore

the nursery is mostly done....but waiting for the bru completion coupon to get a chair and other misc items.

i am in pain everyday but some days not as bad as others....i have cankles galore and my bladder pressure is ridiculous...and i do think god has a plan making us/me wake up every hour on the hour to pee to get ready for not sleeping so well once baby comes.

baby boy is cooking well as of a week or so ago...at almost 5 pounds...we get another "weigh in" this upcoming monday.

having lots of anxieties being a first time mom plus being high risk. i want him healthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xoxoxo

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I am officially a June mommy as my due date is June 1. However, I feel it could go either way. Right about now my feet hurt if I stand on them for longer than 20 minutes. I feel like with every step I take I am dragging a bowling ball with me. And my legs sometimes feel like cement. Other than that, things are great.

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I am due June 7 but I'm having a scheduled c-sec so I'll be delievering in May! I can't complain too much other than how exhausted I am chasing after my 19 month old. I'm trying to get everything organized just ordered another dresser for dd2 because the girls are sharing a room. I am getting 2 rounds of steroids for my shortening cervix next week. I am hoping to actually break my water or go into labor before my scheduled date. I went at 37 weeks with dd and I don't even know how I made it that far. I'm hoping to go at 38 weeks this time.

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

33 1/2 weeks here and feeling ok! Baby was 4 lbs 7 oz at my 31.6w growth sono, 70th %! I have another growth sono in two weeks to see how big she's gotten.

I got my c-section date this week, but I'm going for a VBAC so come May 1st (I'm due the 8th), I will be hoping for natural labor! Come on baby! REALLY don't want a c/s if I don't absolutely need it.

Washed a bunch of baby's clothes, still have a lot new with tags lol. Will be getting and setting up the crib in about a month, closer to my due date.

Wearing sneakers all day everyday has helped with my back pain SO MUCH! I am thankful to not be in the excruciating back pain that I had when I was pg with DS!

I am feeling pretty heavy in my belly these days, and when I walk I usually feel a ton of pressure down low. As of 33 weeks, I'm up 26.5 lbs, not TOO bad!

I feel like there's SO much time left, but really there's only 6.5 weeks til my due date and she could come earlier, who knows!

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

Ehhhhh. I just got diagnosed with GD, so I've been trying to get used to the diet (it's really not as bad as I thought it would be). And last night (I'm almost 32 weeks) was the first night I had trouble sleeping. I couldn't find a comfy position.
Other than that, I feel ok- tired, of course...but that's about it.

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I'm doing well at 33 weeks. I got the date of Friday, May 18th for my scheduled c-section at Winthrop, so I'm getting a little anxious now!

Furniture from JCP arrived and we have the dresser/hutch up, but need to assemble the crib. Also need to get the area rug and then start washing clothes and stuff!

Overall feeling pretty good. Sleeping is hit or miss and my lower back is killing me, usually at night.

Wishing all the other May mommies-to-be well!

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I'm 34 weeks today and I'm feeling pretty good! Worked on getting the baby's room set up this weekend - all we're missing is the mattress now. I have admit sitting in the glider and just relaxing and looking around the room is now my favorite past-time

My shower won't be for another couple of weeks so I'll have more to take care of once all that stuff comes along but for now everything is pretty under control. I think it's all starting to set in for me and I'm pretty darn excited!

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

Doing good overall!! 33 weeks and getting really Excited!!! Got really cute coming home outfits from Carter's one pink one blue team !!!!! We shall see!! Getting our 2 year olds room done.. Keeping the nursery the nursery.. Getting really tired mid-day but my 2 yr old keeps me going!! I can't wait until she meets her sister/brother !!!

Hope all feels well!!!

Re: How are the May mommies doing??

I'm 33 weeks... I'm having a lot of pain when I walk which I didn't have with my first. It's around the groin area and doesn't feel like round ligament b/c it's constant and has been this way for 2 weeks and it's not sciatica but hopefully it goes away soon. Otherwise I'm feeling well and hope this month goes by quickly!
