Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi everyone, just wanted to send up a flare and say that I'm rounding the corner of 38 weeks. I'm huge, lazy, and can't concentrate! I'm behind at work and need to show hustle to catch up in my paperwork, but it's the *last* thing I want to do. We've still held out on finding out gender, but last week he/she was 6 pounds 1 ounce so by my due date of 6/20 we should have a pretty good sized baby. My rheumatologist is an angel and is running interference with my OB who wanted to juice me up on a dose pack of steriods after delivery. The rheum is countering with a plan for IV prednisone during delivery which she says won't give me the mood problems (ok, major freak outs!) that I tend to have with dose packs. So over all things are good, and I'm trying to hold off on any Enbrel until after the baby comes. I'll keep you posted and will send a link to photos when the big day comes. Hope you're all feeling ok and not having ouchy days, hugs, Kate F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 We are so excited for you. Enjoy every minute and the paperwork will still be there. Rest now while you can-you will need it later. linda (mother of 4-grandmother of 4) but RA did not rear its ugly head until my youngest 2 were in high school Fair <kalfoley@...> wrote: Hi everyone, just wanted to send up a flare and say that I'm rounding the corner of 38 weeks.
