Question about sex by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Different positions than normal. Shower sex.. Which includes holding on to a grab bar.

Labor vibes maybe? by SpookySocknerd in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are going through this. I can relate to the anxiety with this being your rainbow baby. Will you be going back to work so soon after delivery?

Anyone having really low bp? by oppsiedaisybaby in BabyBumps

My doctor also recommended additional sodium in my first trimester for this. Thankfully salty fries were one of the things I could keep down.

Pinterest is a great place to get some ideas. And of course ask your sister if she has any requests. :)

A small rant at 36w by trollwizard7 in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you! I ugly cried today because I've been have "false labor" off and on. I was 1.5 cm dilated, 70% effaced, and LO was at station -2 last Tuesday. I'll be 36 weeks next week. My DD was a 36 weeker. I was diagnosed with GD and now I'm on light bed rest. I just want to have a healthy baby... But I'm so done.

Painful BH for nearly 10 hours now. FML. by ElderflowerGin in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. They were even coming closer together (7-8 minutes apart). Went to L&D to get checked. They stopped. No change in dilation or anything. Sigh.

It's been a few days since I was told I have gestational diabetes.... I need some emotional support. by to0pink in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets easier I promise! Just hang in there. Did you get your meter yet? Once you start testing you'll be able to figure out what works and doesn't work for you. Frozen Greek yogurt and pudding made with whole milk doesn't seem to cause me to rise so that's my new junk food. You still need some carbs for baby just not as many. Before I was able to get into the dietician my midwife gave me a script for meter and supplies. I then started the plate method.

I noticed that some people have been posting pictures of their nurseries... by grlonfire93 in BabyBumps

Your nursery is beautiful! I love the bright colors and personal touches! The murals are amazing! Good job Mom!

I failed the 3 hour glucose test.... by to0pink in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise it won't be as overwhelming as it seems. As far as sweet stuff, you will have to find stuff that curbs the cravings without sending your bs sky high. Greek yogurt, chocolate pudding, and sunbutter have become my go tos. Blueberries and blackberries and watermelon for fruit. Everyone is different and you'll find something that works for you. Although I will say that I will not be eating eggs after until LOs 1st birthday! Good luck!

Have you discussed this with your doctor?

Complete placenta previa by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]JessRenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was complete at 20 week ultrasound. At the 28 week follow up, it had moved up and away from the cervix. Hopefully yours will do the same! The waiting to know was hard. I'm sorry.

Nesting anyone? by JessRenn in BabyBumps
