Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I have 39 days to go or 35 if you go by my original due date. Baby is measuring a bit small according ti the growth sono by 10% bigger then DD #1 was. so I'm not cooncerned. I'm just feeling huge and totally unprepared to be a mom of two...

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hi All! 34 weeks today, so 6 more to go. I have been sooo lucky feeling good this whole pregnancy but I could definitely do without the heat...I feel like it's making me so tired! My only complaint at the moment is that this doesn't move as much as I want it to, which worries me. But then again, this is my first baby, so I have no idea what is normal and I have nothing to compare it to so who knows Other than that, everything is going well...the work we were having done in our house is pretty much finished, so we painted last weekend and are just tying up some loose ends around the house.

I hope everyone is feeling well

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I can't believe how many of us are doing something to our house or in "limbo."

We JUST finished all the painting and major reno stuff in our house this past weekend. We still only have cement board for a floor in our kitchen, but I don't think the tile will be down before DS is born, so I'm just dealing with it.

We all must be crazy doing this house stuff at this time in our lives! LOL

33 weeks tomorrow, I actually feel better than in the 1st and 2nd trimester... went for a tour of the hospital (Lenox Hill) over the weekend, bought a new mattress for the crib - at least he will have somewhere to sleep lol

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hello ladies- I am no longer a July Mommy since DD came very early-28 weeks- on May 9th. I began contracting and they were unable to stop the contractions. Kayla Marie was born 2lbs 11oz and is still in the NICU. She has been doing great and we are looking forward to have or little girl home.

I wish all the July mommys all the best and easy labor vibes.

Hi, 33wk update.

Saw Doc yesterday.

All is SUPER!

Twins are right on track, gaining weight and well the weight part scares me a bit, stating around 4.5 lbs and one 4lbs!
I think these sonos are slighly exaggerated...I hope!
Only thing is that baby A is still breech and that will not change since there is barely any room to move.

Doc is extremely happy how well this has gone for me. No bedrest, no problems or possible complications.
Truth is they could come sooner...so we will see.

Nusery is ALMOST done and DH has to put cribs together. Hope to have that done within a wk.

I have a scheduled C-section for July 6th.

Almost there!


GL everyone and great updates!

Bump for updates!

Has anyone else already had their babies??

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I'm just shy of 39 weeks now. Can't believe I'm coming to the end of this pregnancy already. Where does the time go?!

I'm actually not going to be a July Mommy anymore. I will be induced this Monday, June 28th, if I don't go naturally before then.

I'm feeling.......DONE! Everything is ready for , we're literally just playing the waiting game now. I really don't feel like I'm going to go naturally before Monday but I have my fingers crossed for the full moon this weekend.

How is everyone else doing??

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hello ladies. I am 37 weeks 3 days. At my internal last week I was totally closed and the baby hadn't dropped yet.

I am physically exhausted. Between work and chasing after a 20 month old, I am wiped. I have my weekly appt. tonight to see what's going on. Had a growth sono on Sat. and was measuring 6 lbs. 10 oz. I am having mixed emotions about the baby coming now. I can't wait to meet him/her but I want more time with my son and have so much to do. I just feel like there aren't enough hours in day. Plus I am so uncomfortable.

My sister threw me a sprinkle over the weekend and we got some very generous presents. This weekend I'll wash some clothes and just wait until makes his/her appearance.

Still trying for a VBAC!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hello all!

I will be 36w tomorrow. Went to the doctor on Monday with pain and pressure. Turns out it is normal, so these last 4 weeks should be interesting!

I am not dilated at all. So this baby has some more time to cook, which is fine with me b/c s/he is measuring small!

i got back on July 10th at a little over 38w to get a growth sono and a regular appt. So strange they are letting me wait almost three weeks for that this late in the game, but I am not complaining!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

36wks,

right now its just a waiting game for me, meaning I can go at any time being its twins or I go on my scheduled c-section date of July 6th.

So either way, I will be seeing the babies within 2wks.

Im Huge......feeling the heat badly, getting lots of aches/pains, walking..Uh I mean WADDLING big time.

I can see why the doc mentioned that I would probably want these babies out sooner than later.
He aint kidding!

Happy to hear all the progess from everyone.

Hope that these babies stay July babies and not June.
Got WAY too many bdays in June...dont want to add anymore

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

36w today! I have my next appointment and first internal on the 28th. Hopefully there will be some progress. I've very recently been feeling lots of pressure "down below". I am hoping this guy decides to come sooner than later.

I'm actually feeling REALLY good. Maybe it's because of how active I've been since the school year ended. I've gone to the pool with my girls every day and we've just spent alot of time getting out.

We also got a new bed topper for our bed (memory foam) and OMG it's made a world of difference in my sleep.

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

I am 38 weeks today. At last weeks appointment I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. I have been having to go for daily non-stress tests and bio physicals because the baby's weight is not progressing like they would like it to. I have another appointment tonight with my regular OB but at todays non-stress test appointment the nurse said I was contracting every 3 minutes and she would be shocked if this baby was not going to make an appearance in a few days so I might be a June mom after all

Good luck to everyone and I hope you are feeling well!!!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hi there! I will be 36 weeks on Tues. I stopped working last week and i feel soooo much better. I was too stressed out at work and between work and taking care of DD I was going crazy. I have to start going to Dr. every week and am waiting for a growth sono to see our little boy. Its been six weeks since I saw him. Dr did an internal yesterday. She said my cervix was short, but closed. I got disappointed, but I dont know why because we are not ready to have this baby. We are going to Montyauk next week and we still dont have something for this baby to sleep in.
I am sooo excited for us to meet our babies!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

36 weeks today and the heat is totally getting the better of me today although I have been feeling great besides that... I have been 2 cm dilated for the past two weeks and the doctor is convinced that I will be having this baby sooner, we shall see...

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hi ladies! A little over 37 weeks. I have an internal and growth sono tomorrow...I know it's early, but I am hoping for some progress. Tomorrow is the last day of school, so it's my last day of work. I have no patience, so I can't imagine sitting around for 3 more weeks waiting for this little one to make his/her appearance Feeling good other than the heat of course. Hope everyone is staying cool!!

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Im 39 weeks tomorrow and so uncomfortable. I emded up with a sinus infection last week on meds and the meds gave me a y infection so besides my groin hurting im itchy as hell. Im going to the doctor at 930. Have a feeling im being induced wednsday. Wanted to go naturally but am very uncomfortable. Crampy last night really bad too.

Re: ***Official JULY 2010 Mommies Thread***

Hi Girls!

I'm 39 weeks on Tuesday (so 38.5). I lost my mucus plug two days ago and then had some false labor that entire day. I have been getting terrible headaches and hope it doesn't mean I'm getting sick right before my baby gets here. I guess it could be the hormones in prep for his arrival.

I am so hot and tired all the time lately. I am very anxious and the anticipation is getting the best of me. I wish I knew the difference between real contractions and BH at this point. I am just nervous I'm not going to know when to start timing them.

10 days to go
