The countdown... Snowflake babies update thread

[carebears2]

Hello everyone!


Hi Jill I see you down there, LOL!

Miss_Carmel-If you don't mind me asking, do you have a medical condition that requires you to have a c-section? It is true that 37 weeks is consider full-term but many babies born at 37 weeks still may need some time in the neonatal intensive care unit. The longer the baby can bake the better. Good Luck and please let us know.

Anyone feel exhausted?

I don't remember feeling this tired last time, but then again, I wasn't chasing a 15 month old all day!

I also don't remember being tired like this, but I was also on bed rest and sleeping whenever I wanted to. lol Yesterday I actually took a catnap in a classroom at my school. I got my big fluffy winter coat and used it as a pillow...put my head on the desk and zonked out. A student came in for tutoring and didn't wake me because he could tell I needed the sleep. What a sweetie!

Ladies, thank you sooo much for looking into this for me and sharing your thoughts.
I will be meeting the dr next week and will ask him why so early and that i am concerned, ill also point out the new 39 week policy in the US. He travels there a lot for work so he may take that into account.
In the mean time i will contact another few doctors to find out what they say.
Again big thanks xx

Miss Caramel - Do you know if you are having a boy or girl?

[Miss_caramel]

I'm well and truly in the pink club :-)

[SC-emk808]

That sounds great miss caramel! Besides, you don't really want to be in the hospital for Christmas, do you? :-)

[J&FM2005]

Miss Caramel - Yay team pink! I just love, love, love my girls! Especially now that my big girl is getting older. It is such a special bond.

Emk - being in the hospital on Christmas is my biggest fear right now. I so do not want to be away from my girls. Just the thoughts of being away from them when I deliver makes me nuts. My big girl will do fine, but I have never spent a night away from the little one. Ugh....

I guess I'm lucky that, being Jewish, I don't have to worry about being in the hospital on Christmas. What I worry do about, however, is being in the hospital on the Sabbath (which this year Christmas and the Sabbath happen to be the same day of the week...sigh). It is SOOOO much more difficult being in the hospital on the Sabbath, and I have a 1/7 chance of delivering on the Sabbath. I don't think my kids will worry too much about me not being there for a few days, especially since they'll probably come to visit me in the hospital. I've never spent the night away from either of them, but I'm not worried about it.

New C section date for me. Jan 13th. I saw my midwife and she wanted to know why I was scheduled 2 days after my due date? I said I don't know, that is when Dr E said he would do it. She said no. She didn't want me to go late. Especially since toward the end of my last pregnancy I had such blood pressure problems. She told me 39 weeks or after. I think my Dr picked that date due to him being off asroud that time. So now that makes it only 8 weeks to go. WOW.

I told you gals before that I really don't feel a lot of movement, I see more than I feel. I think once again because of my anterior placenta. I am all freaked out. I didn't feel Allie move much so I never even did kick counts. She told me as long as I feel or see the baby move daily she is fine with that. Is this the point in pregnancy when they want to track movement. I just hate having to worry over it. Somedays it is only a few times I notice it. I guess I will need to eat or drink something to wake the baby and lay around and wait.


We were trying to schedule several appts so I can put them on my calendar and boy is time going to go by quick. I scheduled one of them Dec 23. CRAZY! When during a normal pregnancy do they usually see them weekly?

She did confirm that I can take Tylenol PM everynight. Yeah!
