Let's try again.

Hi All,

I took a break from the July club for a while because I was the only one left. Tragically everyone else lost their babe.

Is there anyone out there now who is due in July?

I am due on July 14, currently 26 weeks, and having a girl. This will be my first baby, but I have 2 step kids and a 2 year old foster daughter. I've had 3 first trimester miscarriages, but with the help of progesterone and baby aspirin we are good so far!

We have already named her Indie June, but we aren't telling anyone yet (besides you guys obviously).

At this point I am really healthy, and feeling tired but good. My only complaints are feeling short of breath, and totally uncomfortable while trying to sleep. How is everyone else doing?

As a former NICU nurse, this little time period between 24-32 weeks makes me nervous. While a 24 weeker is technically viable, my husband and I have agreed not to resusitate any of our children born under 28 weeks. Too much suffering for those tiny ones.

Write if you are out there! How are you feeling? What are you having? Names? Birth plan?

I'm still here and glad to see activity on this board! I am due in July with a baby boy!! We have an almost 10 yr old boy, 8 yo girl, and 5 yo girl. Sisters are thrilled to welcome a baby and ds is still on the fence. He says babies bring work and I say, yes this is true, but they also bring joy!

I am doing well. I'm in nesting stage right now. Greatly desiring to make things for baby!

Kids have helped us with choosing a name...Noah Jackson, we are pretty sure we will use that name.

Hello,

Due July 17 with baby #3 (DH really wanted a girl) - IVF (26+wks now) - it is a baby girl

First 2 pregnancies were uneventful, though we needed IVF to get started - was able to work until D day!

Uneventful 1st trimester - busy with a fulltime job and 2 kids; big bleed due to placenta previa at 19wks - have been bedrest since then
GD kicked in last week
Suspecting vasa previa too now....

Applemama, I am glad we made it to viability, but like you am very nervous about the 24 wks to 32 wk period - next goal is 28 weeks.

Glad to have some activity on this board!!

Yay! I am so glad there are others out there still up and going! PB, any fantastic or funny accomplishments during your nesting stage? Jo, are you still on bedrest, still pregnant? I hope your little gal is hanging on and getting nice and big!

I recently started getting serious weakness and fatigue, can't even get through a work day anymore. I think it's the anemia. Ugh, but baby is doing well. Anyone else with some hard core heartburn? I am trying not to take any meds, so milk has been my greatest relief. Last complaint is pelvic pain. I feel like my pubic bone is splitting in half. What is happening for you guys?

We have her room just about finished. It is gray with lime green and white highlights. I made my own cloth diaper and wipe stash, which was so much fun to put together! My hospital bags are packed, and pediatrician picked out. I think we are almost good to go! 35 weeks and counting.

Anyone with updates?

Take care, Applemama

Any new babies out there yet? June is coming to and end, hooray!

I am SO ready to be done, and hold my sweet baby!

For the last 4 days I have been VERY nauseous, especially at night. I haven't felt any nausea since the first trimester otherwise. I hear it could be a sign of impending labor, but it is dragging on now. No other signs yet, just more frequent BH's. I really hope I don't go past my due date, ugh!

Take care,

AppleMama
