Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Okay, so I'm back with Eliana's birth story. She's five days old today. It has been both the longest and shortest five days of my life. Apologies in advance for the novel below! I was scheduled to be induced on the evening of April 16th. It was only a few days past my DD, but my doctor didn’t want m... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hey ladies! Quick update! Eliana Elizabeth was born at 9:08pm on 4/17. 8lbs 13oz. 21 inches. We're both doing pretty well. I'll come back with the birth story when I'm settled back at home. But I'll attach a picture of her!

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Just got back from my OB appointment. I'm a half centimeter dilated and 80% effaced. Tomorrow night I'll have Cervadil inserted and likely started on Pitocin on Wed morning. It's not the outcome I hoped for, but it is what it is. I wanted to have that "honey, it's time" moment at home but ... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Tammy, welcome to Team Pink! Congratulations! Well, my due date came and went. As of last week, I'm still not dilated at all and still 50% effaced. Looking at induction on Tuesday night. I have an OB appt tomorrow so we'll see if I'm progressing at all. I've been going for acupuncture to try to indu... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Oooh Pup! Keep us updated! Has anyone dealt with cervix pain? I've been getting some very sharp stabbing pains. It feels like I'm being stabbed with a letter opener or like baby is trying to reach out! It stops me in my tracks and sometimes makes me yelp a little. I have an appt with my OB on Tuesda... |

Re: Scuba diving PSers?
I'm on a hiatus from scuba due to an acute case of pregnancy. DH is now officially a PADI divemaster so he's still diving fairly often and he's assisted in teaching some classes. We're going to St. Lucia at the end of the month and he'll be diving daily while I stay on shore completely jealous. Have... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hello ladies! I'm finally moving over here from the JBP thread. I'm 25w 4d (due April 13) with our first child and it's a girl. It's been pretty smooth sailing (touch wood) so far with the pregnancy, despite the initial shock of finding out I was pregnant. The first 20 weeks seemed to absolutely dra... |

Re: "Just Barely" Pregnant PS''ers
Just had our anatomy scan. Everything looks great. I have a low-lying placenta but that should hopefully correct itself before I'm due. Found out we're on TEAM PINK.

Re: Pregnancy anger/what comments made you angry?
I'm only 18 weeks, so I haven't had any encounters with strangers doing/saying anything strange. My belly has rounded out quite a bit in the past two weeks and I did get the "twins" comment from a coworker. Another coworker who recently had a child was there when it was said and responded ... |

Re:
Miscka - DH just told me that Netflix suggested the sequal to "Business." I might have to watch that this weekend. My OB said he actually agrees with 70% of that documentary. He definitely suggested I get a doula if I want to try to do it without intervention. No preference on the gender f... |

Re: "Just Barely" Pregnant PS''ers
Gender scan is week 20 for me, so I'll know the week after Thanksgiving. Ahhh, so you're doing the initial GD test twice. I've got until January before I'll likely have mine then. Watched "The Business of Being Born" last night with DH. Really kinda makes me wish I'd looked more into local... |

Had the first ultrasound today. Measuring 7w3d. Just like I calculated. Haven't met my doctor yet and won't until late September. That seems kinda weird to me. Feel a little strange about things.
