Hi miracle80,

I am so glad you stopped in to say hello!!! Wow, 23 weeks already!! The time is flying by so fast. Congratulations on your little girl! What are you going to name her and when is she due?

Hberry - How are you feeling? What's baby Jaylen been up to?

As for me, it would be great if you're right about not getting highs with the FM and being pregnant. I'm 4DPO here and 6DPO on another site. Temps seem promising but I'm not feeling anything as of yet. I also don't have that 'I know I'm pregnant feeling!' either. 40th birthday approaching. Prayers are definitely welcome. C'mon BFP!

Hi miracle! My EDD going by ultrasound says December 20th., My LMP EDD is Christmas Eve so we will see when Jaylen will show his face. He has been head down since my ultrasound at 19 weeks 5 days. I have been using the bathroom quite often it seems because Jaylen loves punching me there or resting on my bladder.

Mummum ~ I am very sore, having sciatica is the worst. I am now looking into a brace to help lift Jaylen a bit to get him off my sciatic nerve so my left leg doesn't go numb and to stop the pinching of that nerve. Otherwise feeling pretty good. Even for working. Jaylen is being a pain literally lol. He is so active, even when I'm working. I work in apparel and he must love it cause he doesn't ever stop kicking or punching me.

12 weeks to go as of today! I am 28 weeks currently and everything is looking good. Breath of relief.

Hberry: Sciatica is not fun! Maybe a special pediatric chiropractor can help you with that, adjust Jaylen's position in you? I have heard some chiropractors can do that. I would look into it especially since you have another child you need to be 100% for. Feel better soon! Prayers!

They probably wont since it is close to my due date and Im only 8 weeks away. He also dropped to the point now to where Im having strong braxton hicks and I have been close to going in because they have been so strong.

Hberry: This is so EXCITING! Try to wait as much as you can Jaylen needs all that growing some docs will offer to induce. You'll know when to go when you get the feeling your period is about to show feeling in your cervix, that crampy pressure. Good luck!

They eventually went away which is good. I had an appointment Tuesday and brought up the contractions and he said I dont care who is on since you had preterm labor already (active labor with my daughter at 36 weeks in 2016) I want you to go in.

Oy sending full-term prayers your way, hon!

So Friday I had a bunch of pressure in my stomach and due to me already having preterm labor, I went in for an evaluation. The pressure made me feel like it really was preterm labor. Thankfully it wasn't and it was just a bladder infection. Its just as painful. Had a follow up and everything is looking good so far, infection wise pain is down and Jaylen is having a good strong heartbeat and of course quite active. Regular ob appointment is November 10. Also was cleared to resume work with restrictions. So I am able to work as much as I possibly can.

Hberry: So glad you weren't having preterm labor and that Jaylen is doing great. I hope the infection has gone away completely. I'm glad you're clear to work but try to take it easy. Whoo hoo I'm getting so excited for you!!
