  • What is pitocin?
  • How many weeks? 9 weeks!

    How are you feeling? Like crap. I always feel like I'm about to throw up. I also have a headache. I'm exhausted. My sense of smell is also insane. I smelled a tootsie pop today, and I was walking in the other directions and I swear, I smelled it for another 50 feet. ick.

    What are you craving? nothing really. nothing looks good, but once I eat, I'm ok. actually, scratch that...Ice cream sundaes.

    What is grossing you out? a lot of things. actually, almost anything food related unless it's really bad for me.

    Have you taken any classes to prepare for baby (childbirth, breastfeeding, CPR, etc)? we'll probably take some sort of class..

    Who do you plan on having in the room during labor?  Pushing/Delivery? DH. That's it. I hope my mother doesn't assume she'll be in there. not happening.

    Any thoughts on medical interventions (epidural, pitocin, c-section, etc)? I would love to have it as natural as possible. However, with my blood pressure history, I'm keeping an open mind in case things have to happen a little differently that I would like.

    Anything else you would like to share?

    We still haven't told DH's parents yet, and it's driving me nuts! However, it's getting easier and easier to keep it from DH's siblings.

    What is pitocin?

    from what I understand from 16 and pregnant... it's the drug that helps you dialate/jump start labor

    oh god, I just googled pitocin and it sounds scary - increased risk of fetal distress, request for epidurals, uterine rupture, and emergency cesarean. I finished reading TCOYF and am now wondering if too many babies are induced early because the due date is miscalculated...

    lol babies are still scary to me

     

  • How many weeks? 22 weeks on Wednesday

    How are you feeling? Good for the most part. Some days I feel like I the flu is coming and others I just can't stay awake. I have nausea here and there, and the baby loves the sciatic nerve (sucks!)

    What are you craving? Fruit, Chocolate milk, chicken, chocolate or any sweets.

    What is grossing you out? Eggs and fish.

    Have you bought/received anything for the baby? All the big items I have except for a car seat, high chair and stoller. Some of the smaller things I have on a registry.

    Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Next U/S is Feb. 16th to look at the baby's kidney (found the baby has reflux and is monitoring it), and next OB appt is Feb. 13th.

    When is your EDD? May 30

    Any names picked out? Care to link your BabyNames.com list? Not yet. DH and I can't agree on any names yet, but are close.

    Are you/have you found out the gender? Nope, team green.

    How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? The only thing we've done is pick what bedroom it will be and the theme is baby forest animals. No pictures yet.

    Have you taken any classes to prepare for baby (childbirth, breastfeeding, CPR, etc)? We signed up for childbirth and breastfeeding classes at the hospital. And baptism classes thru the church (required for our church).

    Who do you plan on having in the room during labor? Pushing/Delivery? DH and my BF only. BF is for backup incase DH bowes out.

    Any thoughts on medical interventions (epidural, pitocin, c-section, etc)?  Anything medically necessary. Otherwise, as natural as it can be.

    Have you thought about what to pack in your hospital bag? Slippers, socks and a house coat. I am usually cold when I was in the hospital on previous visits. There is still time to think and pack the rest.

    Any baby bumps to PIP? Just what was taken at Christmas time with my SIL (posted on FB).

    I absolutely agree with this...My SIL just had her third child in December...

    Child 1 was about a week late

    Child 2 was about a week late

    Child 3 had his due date pushed back a week because of how big he was measuring. He was born a day before his new due date.

     I'm assuming that SIL jsut O's late...she also told me that she had such a faint positive that she was worried she was miscarrying. Which would make sense if she O'd late, because then it would have been a very very early BFP.

    It's crazy how much women could know about their body, but they just don't.

    Anything else you would like to share? Since our u/s/ is the 8th and MIL's birthday is the 12th, we are planning on going home that weekend to tell our families. I can't wait! We'll be 8 weeks by then and once I hear a heartbeat, I'll be ready to share our news with them. We'll probably wait until after our Disney trip to say anything on FB or my blog.
