Hi Jemima,

This must be a very rough time for you and your husband. It sounds to me

that he is not being medicated properly. Unless you become aware and

knowledgeable about the testing (knowing what tests should be run and what

the results should look like), you will be in the dark and at their mercy.

If you haven't done so, please get a copy of all lab results. If you don't

understand them, post them here and we will help.

Good size so far!!

Baby Jonah is now at 22.5 weeks.. and he has been kicking and stretching HARD

since about 19 weeks...

Noah ( my 21 month old) kicked all day long... and all night long... while

he was born 9 weeks early... my husband is convinced that he kicked a hole in

the bag of waters.. LOL

Perhaps you will have a calm and easy going baby girl there??

OR she is just resting so when she is born she can give you a run for you

money???

LOL

Good to hear everything is going well!

I am glad she was okay in there. I went at about 29 weeks because i did not

feel mine all day and I was very scared. My little man has been an active boy

this pregnancy but lately is getting calmer and quieter.

My little girl is just about 2 weeks behind yours and she dosn't move

much either and never has. Since about 16 weeks she has ALWAYS been

head down spine forward like she was already in position. I get an

ultrasound every 4 weeks so there has been quite a few. I do notice

that when I do feel her move it is in the middle of the night or

early morning so if I happen to be very tired I sleep through it. If

I am having one of my many sleepless nights then I feel a lot of

movement. Even then it is more wiggles and squirms with a couple of

gentle kicks - NOT what I hear other people saying about the dancing

going around in their tummy. My doc says that some babys are just

calmer and as you get bigger there is less room so they move less.

Also babies go through periods of growth and rest so there can be a

couple of days where there is less movement then there will be a lot

for a couple of days. I have tried drinking something cold and sweet

like juice when I want to feel her move(that was the doctors

suggestion) but it only works sometimes just as when I try pushing or

wiggling my belly which also only works sometimes. They said I should

feel at least 15 movements during the day and when I try I can but

otherwise all of her movements come during the night. I'm sure if you

give it a couple of days Aida will be squirming all around again. -

an hour then we called the dr. he is on vacation so the dr on call

stated for us to go in for an ultrasound...we have not seen the baby

Adam,

Ask your wife's Dr about the betamethazone injections (or

Celestone). They mature fetus's lungs faster. We always try to get in

at least 2 before delivery in preterm babies. Its worth mentioning to

mature those lungs faster! I had to take a prednisone dose pack at 7

months b/c of poison ivy so at 36 weeks when I was in preterm labor

trouble, my amniocentesis was mature.

ask about it!

been having trouble sleeping, eating, moving her bowels, peeing ect ect

yesterday...we checked in...the examined her...she was 1cm dialated 50%

effaced...they hooked her up to an IV...to give her fluids...she contracted

all night last night about 2-3 minutes apart...the dr sayed that he would

get a Gastric Bypass Surgeon to come in the morning to speak w/ us...she

came this morning and basically stated that all of es problems would

be aleviated by the baby coming out...so the dr ordered an

amenosyntesis...we just got the results from that and it showed her lungs

were immature...so they sent it off to California for more extensive testing

to see how mature her lungs are...if they are ok then the dr will induce

this week...brandie is 36w0d today...I would like for her to wait if she

could take it until monday...that is my Grandmothers B-day...she passed away

2 days before we conceived...What a blessing that was...so now im home for

the 3 Sh#% shower and shave...and back off to the hospital...So hopefully we

have a HEALTHY baby in the next week...

Oh my... how very unprofessional.

Although you can bet you won't be pressured into termination should there

ever be a problem. I only say that becuase some Dr's don't believe in anything

less then a perfect baby.

It is extremely important you feel comfy with your OB....

I would tell her this...

" Thank you Dr xyz.. I really do appreciate your concern for my eternal

Great way to put it. " Thank you Dr xyz.. I really do appreciate

your concern for my eternal life... however.. at this very moment I

am more concerned about the life of my unborn child. Can we please

focus on my maternal health and not the longevity of my soul? "

I am a Christian woman but feel that my health care providers would

be crossing a professional line by trying to convert me. That is

something I would nip in the bud now if you are not comphy with it.

Did you go in with at tatoo of a devil or " I heart 666 " on your

> Hey all,

> I am SOOOO TIRED...It has been a long 1 1/2 weeks. As you all

know e has been in the hospital since last monday because of

nutrition and sleeping issues. WELLL She is still there! I came home

to clean up and pay the bills...the amnio came back on monday that

the lugs were immature as of last Tuesday. so the Dr. stated that he

would do the test again on Monday that just passed and if it was ok

he would induce...around 10 monday morning e started catching

contractions...they moved her to Labor and Delivery ward...she had

them for about 3 hours...then they stopped...I went to work at 4 that

day...well she called me about 9 crying and saying that there was

something wrong with the baby...her heart rate was low...I rushed

back to the hospital and found out that she was catching some BADDD

contractions that was making Adia's Heart rate drop...they said that

was not good...the Dr. came around 10 and checked her...she was

dialating...she was about 2cm...and then he said that he felt the

umbilical cord...it had slipped through and he said that it would

probably come out first and get clamped...he said he could put her in

labor with the chance he probably would need to do an emergency

c~section...or she could just get it over with...so we decided for

the C~Section...
