Baby number 7

I have a horrible head cold and it just won't let up. The left side of my face is congested and Ihave a horrible cough. Plus the tooth hole is still hurting whcich doesn't help. I need to be heavily medicated so I can just sleep. I slept most of yesterday away...... --------------------

Heartburn YAY!!!! And nothing is helping. I hate this part of pg. I am still needinga nap in the afternoon so I lay down wiht Ella. Her being in our bed is making nighttime very hard on both Dennis and myself

Ahhh the end of the week. Tomorrow it starts all over again. 22 weeks and I don't feel too badly. I jsut did a short yoga work out and have laundry going, the bed stripped and am about to do my floors. Woopee. the girls are at mums watching the ceilings being put in. I need ot go over and get some shelves as I figure out the logistics of 5 children in two bedrooms. They own a damn library!


din't realize I could hate the medical prefession anymore than I already do. Totally useless appointment today. I told the OB they could ruin someones pg and brith experience as I told them I would NOT be comeing back. They tried to force me to a high risk dr. WTF. I have had 4 babies on medication and doone has bothered me. I turn 35 and now I am high risk. PLEASE. so no more prenatal care and NO ONe haleping wiht the birht. Period. And now to come off of almost 9 years of benzo's without ending up hospitalized becasue noone wants to prescribe them this time and I am being tossed from provider to provider. THE SOUTH SUCKS!!!!!!! Well, I just tossed myself away from all of them. GO AWAY!!!! --------------------

leg cramps started last night. I hobbled around at three this morning trying to get the calf pain to go away. Can't find any homeopathics yet but I did find that belladonna has more uses than just my headaches. TOO COOL.

Awww Heidi, I know exactly how you feel (except for the high risk stuff)...because I really, really wanted an unassisted home birth with this one, but my hubby flipped out and made me go to the hospital. Ohhh if you haven't read Kai's birth story you should! It pisses me off so much that we had to waste the money to have him at a hospital, plus I really wanted to do the jacuzzi thing, just to experience it. Hospital births are so chaotic and there's nothing sacred, and that's why I want to avoid them! So hugs, and I know how you feel!
Thanks Jenn..I am off to your birth story! Kelli will be my midwife but I will call her late enough into the labor that she just won't be able to make it. WINK, LOL At least I will be getting my tub birth even if she DOES happen to arrive on time. The benefit of having her come after the birth is that baby can get weighed and printed. Plus she has this great BORN AT HOME onsie her patients get and these little knitted hats.

O now know this is not allergies.....I am feeling a bit better but am still under the weather as they say. I am so glad I got as much sleep as I did yesterday and that mum took the girls.... Now if they cooperate and let me rest as much as possible today then I should be okay --------------------

Man have I grown!!! and I am still sick

HMMMM, well I met with Kelli today nad I am rethinking my UC. She doesn't want to see me again until December because I have one more follow up wiht the high risk ob for a trans vag US. So I am wondering why I should bother? She showed no concern about me hemmorraging because my last birth had so litle blood. And it was over 100 miles round trip..... I have some serious sould serching to do.. My heart says try it on my own.

Time is counting down just as the space in my uterus is running out. . . . Instead of big rolls I am getting elbows knees and the behind sticking out. I am not convinced that the picture of the baby's foot outline in utero to be an illusion by a clever photographer. Too much tissue: dermal and uterine muscle for an outline to be that clear. How am I feeling about birth. Apprehansive just as most third trimester's are! LOL--you'd think I have never had a child! My dreams are vivid and am often anxious but so very tired. The girls know it and prey on my weakness. stats 132 lbs38 inches round 31 cm fundal height32 weeks --------------------

UGH, so tired. Ended up on the couch again last night because I just can't seem to regulate my temperature. And Ella woke twice looking to nurse but I am too uncomfortable to lay in the position she needs for very long. Letting her get a little suckle and then giveng her the bottle is working but I can't imagine she is going to want to give up the boob for bottle once I have plentiful milk. Of course at that point it won't matter because the belly will be gone! Baby's head is down and ready for birth. I am so tempted to try a natural induction and it is all I can do to wait! I have been having plenty of sex but I simply do not want to walk. And yoga is still taxing me. It has to be the low iron. I haven't had this problem in the past so I can honestly say every pg is different! I have started regularly visualizing opening up to birth the baby in the hopes that labor will be quick and relatively painless. Of course I shouldn't worry after Ella's easy birht but again every pg is different and she was only a bit over 6 lbs. I can already tell I am carrying a big baby. And it is ALL baby, LOL. --------------------
