36 weeks update (appt and sick kid)

[BethB]

I will be brief -

BP- 100/60
Urine - trace protein
weight - 10 lbs
dialated to 1 and 25% effaced (nothin lol)
measuring - 34 weeks See other post
Group B strep + - alleviates concern over medicating for mirtal valve prolapse or not

They put me on perscription strength prilosec to try to control the heart burn and the vomiting so that I can hopefully put on a couple more lbs. I don't feel good about that but I want her to gain some weight so I guess I will try it I have tried pepcid and tagament and throw them up within 10 minutes of taking them ??????

My son woke up with 102.5 temp with no other symptoms so I am just hoping that I don't get whatever he has. NP said that any temp over 100.4 is bad so I should treat right away if I start to get one. Man I hope I avoid whatever it is that he has.

Ok, stopping now

beth....sounds like you're doing well! i hope the prilosec works for you! let us know how it goes....

wash, wash, wash those hands to keep those germies away from you!! i hope your son feels better soon!

[Lindey]

oh no, thats what i am paranoid about at this stage is illness, lets hope you or alyssa dont get whatever it is, one of thw wives of mikes workers bless her didnt come to the annual bbq, because she had shingles, i knew she had it and was worried but she stayed away which i felt bad about, but really appreciated.

lets hope the new medication works, that must be awful still to be dealing with the vomiting, at this stage as if the rest of the symtoms are not bad enough with that on top.

you poor thing!! that mus tstink still being sick all the time... i was sick until the 5th month and it was awefull. i hope you dont get what your son has, be careful and wash wash wash like sarah said. i know what you mean about the heartburn, it seems everything i eat gives me heartburn. i had it bad w/ dd also. they say that means they have a lot of hair, and it proved right with my dd and this one because on u/s las tweek, they said he hd lots of hair!!! good luck to you and i hope you (and your son) feel better!

Beth-
Ug, I know how you feel. My ds is finally getting over a week long virus......5 days of fever and eyes that look like pink eye, but aren't! My dh woke up w/ one eye all red. I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hoping that dd and I can avoid this nasty virus. I am scheduled in 8 days!!!!!
Are your kids getting excited? Mine seem excited at one minute and then another not really sure. I understand though. I will be an adjustment adding someone to our crazy family They do SO well together (most of the time).
Hope you are taking it easy, feeling better soon and that ds gets better too!!!

Beth,
Hey-1 cm is better than nothing!! I'm just so envious of everyone's cervix
I hope the virus stays away from you. I thought I had caught my kid's virus and just sorta dealt with it, but at my last OB appointment she noticed I was congested and started me asap on antibiotics because she didn't want me sick for delivery. I did get better on them, so i guess it was more than a virus
I hope the prilosec helps. I was on Prevacid when pg with DS#2 and it helped ALOT!!

Great update but I am sorry to hear that your child has fever.... bummer... Try to wash your hands frequently and maybe you will avoid it. Hang in there!

Summer sickness is the worst! Hopefully you've been able to keep down some prenatal vitamins which may ward off the sickness!

I hope the prilosec works! If it makes you feel any better, one of my friend's 4 month old daughter has reflux so bad that they put the infant on prilosec...so you won't harm the baby!

I don't want to say I am glad you are strep b+ but at least you are covered on all fronts now!!
I hope the prilosec works... and your son does a miraculous recovery FAST!!
Hang in there...
