CONGRATULATIONS COURTNEY!!
One of my October due date friends gave birth to her daughter Julia!! Congratulations, Courtney!! My other October due date friend Kelly is either in labor with her son Davey, or he's been born already. I'm unsure, no updates yet. Hehe. I feel so left out. :( I don't think Alayna wants to come out. LOL I think she's having fun in there. I thought she might have been ready today, but no. This morning I started having very irregular contractions. They started coming every 20 minutes, but after the fourth one they spaced out to every hour. :( Damnit. I guess it just wasn't time for Alayna to come out yet. All day I've been having very strong BH's though. Boy are they strong!! Not painful, but strong enough that I have to lay down and I can't sit up straight. Unfortunately, it turned into nothing. Last night I was having very strong lower back pains, though. I wish it turned into something. I have a feeling Alayna will be the last baby born in October. lol I can't take it anymore, though. My clothes are starting not to fit and I just can't breathe in my clothes anymore. I can't buy new clothes because I won't need them after the pregnancy, so I don't know what I'm gonna do. Ugh.
ALAYNA!! Where are you? lol I'm telling my doctor at the next appointment, if she doesn't come by 39 weeks, I want to have an elective induction. I refuse to go over 40 weeks. They don't expect me to go to 40 weeks, but that's just a guess on their part. I just hope she doesn't wait that long because I can't take the pain of my sciatica anymore, and every day that goes by it gets worse. I guess because she keeps putting pressure on it. Ugh
The last appointment on Thursday was pretty good. My weight was good, I didn't gain a crazy amount or anything, so they said that's awesome, my BP was pretty good, high, but not outragously high, and everything was measuring normal with Alayna. (Well, fundal height was still measuring a little ahead, but they said that's not beyond the normal. That morning I also had to go in for an ultrasound of like right under my boob area. Well they did an ultrasound of more than that, but whatever. lol The only thing I had to hate about that is they pressed really hard and they made me hold my breath. Ugh. I'm a chronic athsmatic, and making me hold my breathe for a long amount of time really killed my lungs. :( Its ok though. Whatever t hey gotta do. Turns out I have gallstones. :( They can't do anything now, but they told me to go see a general surgeon after pregnancy. So I have to get my gallbladder out along with my ovarian cysts. LOL I rock. But if it wasn't for this pregnancy, I wouldn't of known about the cysts or gallstones!! Everything else went well with the appointment. They told me that as long as my BP remains stable, the baby remains stable (I have to go in for NST's every week) and as long as everything stays within "normal ranges" they won't worry about inducing me. Which is good. I do want to go natural, unless I go until 39 weeks. lol
I gotta go, even though I wanna complain about more. LOL I have to get to sleep because my head is starting to KILL me.
