Gena- what beautiful babies you have!!! They're amazing and you're amazing for laboring for 24 hours. Sounds like you went through quite the ordeal with your placenta but thankfully that's history now. Thanks for updating!!

Peanut- Good luck today!!

Lisa- Thinking of you!

Amy- Oh wow...you've been going through some scares. Good luck with the c-section. It's right around the corner!

Trish- what does stripping your membrane mean???

loraG · 04-07-2009, 11:33 AM

You guys, I'm so upset. I have what I think is a plantar's wart on my foot (gross i know) Been there for awhile. I told my OB about it at my last appt and she said she thought I could take something over the counter like Compound W but she would need to check the ingredients. Well I called back to get that info and the nurse said she looked it up and its ok to use so I've been using it for about a week. Well I don't know why but I randomly looked it up online and the main active ingredient is Salicylic acid acid and it's supposed to be avoided in pregnancy!!!! I've stopped taking it but now I'm freaking out about having used it all.

suebrx · 04-07-2009, 11:53 AM

Lora, I think you'll be ok. And the wart can wait till later for treatment.

Gena, your twins look beautiful.

Good luck to all those who are still waiting to deliver.

AFM, DD stopped nursing. I'm pumping to provide for her. I get no sleep. I know things will get better, but in the world of one day at a time, sleep would be nice. Even the prospect of 5 hrs sleep in a row. Thank God I don't have to work right now. I'm so strung out. And no caffeine unless I want them awake even longer.

I love my children, but the hormones make me cry a lot. Everything on TV turns into a tear jerker if kids are involved. They are the most engaging at night and I want to play with them but I'm at my worst then. They're still sleeping all day.

Hi ladies. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I had changed my email address, and got logged out and couldn't log back in for over a week! So much has happened since I was gone. BABIES EVERYWHERE! Congrats to all the new mommies (and daddies too).

AFM- I'm still hanging in there. Lots of BH, but nothing else. I have my strep test tomorrow, but was told I wouldn't be checked for dialation because they don't see the pointof poking around! I had the 3 hour glucose a couple of weeks ago and was told the results last week. My 1stdraw after the drinl was 179, the max being 180. My 2nd draw was high. They said they considered it passing since only 1 was technically "high" It made me a little nervous but they said I did not need to retest. I had gained 3 and a half pounds too, I'm sure that's all the extra fluid in my legs and feet. I can't wear most of my shoes anymore- too tight. I have appts. with both of my drs tomorrow so I will update then.

lmohall · 04-07-2009, 12:09 PM

Oh wow Gena!! You're babies are beautiful....glad to hear you made it through and things are looking up. Sorry to hear about the blood transfusion...

Lora~ I hope the wart isn't painful and that you can wait until after the birth and just have it frozen off...quick and painless...

Trish~ Starting to get jealous of you!! Just having BH and nesting, nesting, nesting!! Lots of cramps and lower back pain on Saturday, but nothing major since then...

Can't wait for more updates even though it's just a reminder that I'm still pregnant!! It's just all so exciting!
