Lower Stomach and lower back pain, tiredness, and breast are sore! Is it too early to tell?

I am so happy that your son came out of the surgery great and my prayers are still with you guys!! And hopefully your other son will be out of that place soon!! I have also tired the cabbage and for me it worked great so HunnieChild give it a try. Well my appt went great got to go back in 3 weeks on July 13 th which will make me 34 weeks when I go back. Man am I so tired I feel like I am back being 9weeks LOL.. So when do I start packing my bags for the hosiptal?

Heck I had mine packed SO far in advance I had to keep taking them out and to wash them again, because there was too much dust! XD ;-) Here we have to supply our own sanitary napkins etc!!!!!!! So I stocked those up! Nursing bra, our own sheets, and shampoo etc. I had SO much! Actually the best thing was a concentration item! I had the music -whale songs with Loeanard Lemoy narrating! 8-| and all I concentrated on is a wheel on a cart and WOW betold the person that got infront of that wheel! Leonard was NO WHERE to be heard or found! Couldn't have cared less! XD XD Now they have birth plans - my plan would be to "have a baby" XD

Thanks Bambi and becky i took some panadol and i went to bed and this morning i woke up and they are not sore but i didnt sleep with a bra only a singlet with an insert and i have so far4 not had any pain but if it return i will ring my midwife and let her know just incase i am getting an infection cause my body temp rises as well

I am Glad you son came out of Surgery Well yes it think was the not best time but i think it will be a test to see if you turn to a drink like smokers do when they are giving up, not comparing you to a smoker, Hopefully all goes well in court today as well

HEHE i had my bad packed at 30 weeks because i have fast labours it not funny my last midwife waas going to lend me a home birthing bag for just incase but she was moving from one room to down the road and forgot to give it to me any way...... i had everything packed eg sanitry napkins bra's fresh pairs or knickers clothers for baby to ware but i for got that to pack pants hehe the pant i was wearing i was going to take off and wear them... i was too busy worring about pushing to break my waters that i forgot to remove my long Pants so i am going to pack me an old pair of track pants for the just incase


Well i just finished off 4-6 slices of bread with marmite so i am going to go and have me a hot drink Hope all is well and i will be back in a few days time

The Americans are going "MARMITE?!!!!!" ;-) XD That is the BEST thing for pregnant women and children! My youngest one has Marmite soldiers! And do you have Twiglets?!! LOVE them!

I will tell you lovely ladies a funny! so try and visualize this, I have LONG blonde hair AND BREASTS! I am "VOLUMPTUOUS" Curves on curves kind of thing! ;-) XD So I went into labour about 1 month before my 1st baby was due! So really didn't have a clue what to expect, so with each "little" contraction, I thought "OOP this is it!" So we counted, 5 minutes, 7 mintues, 30 etc. etc. 8-| ;-) XD There I was hair in a bun, PERFECT makeup, and I did my nails!!!! THEN 1 night 2 weeks overdue, I had a "Pain" so I sat int he bath at about 3:50 am, made it nice and warm to help the "pain" leant back put my head under the water and POP I felt a burst! Didn't know what the heck, BUT there in the warm water and IN my HAIR! Was muconeum!!! AKA BABY POOP! I called out to my husband, and we collected the strange floating objects in a jar - because OBVIOUSLY this was SO strange, that they were sure to research it and put it in a medical journal!!!! ;-) 8-| :$ XD So It was now 4 am and the "Pain" was replaced with "PAIN!" so we drove to the hospital and WHAM! PAIN! I couldn't walk! So my husband pushed me into the ward, they checked me I was 5 cm, it was 5 am, so I knew from the "baby classes" that I would probably have another 5 hours! So I wanted an Epidural! The doctor came in and the contractions were SO intense I couldn't sit down, they made my body rigid! All of a sudden I said "I have to push!!!!" They looked at each other and laid me down and VOILA I was 10 cm and the baby was crowning - it was now 5:30am The head nurse shouted "Forget the doctor get an intern the baby is coming!" So they were pushing me down the hall and took my husband to put on the ridiculous booties, so I can put my legs in ANY position - I was VERY popular in highschool! ;-) XD - and I had them in the lotus position in the air! o.O so all of a sudden they said Push and a second later I heard a crying - I'm as blind as a bat so I didn't know that I was alone in a rooom I thought there was other mothers in there - so I said "Whats that noise?!" My husband said "It's the baby!" I said "The Baby I had the baby?!!!!!!!!" I could NOT belive that I had this child with NO medication and SO quickly! My husband said that when I brought my legs up and pushed, he JUST got in the room and the doctor just sat down and out FLEW my son she caught it like a football! He described it like he came out of a water shoot! ;-) XD XD Unfortunatley I had 50 stitches internally and in my bum! SO that was REALLY bad!

So I had to stay in the hospital for about a week, because I was having a hard time with healing! So they put these fish net cotton underpants on me - to air out the "area" 8-| XD So my VERY handsome brother inlaw and my sister came to visit I was laid down and he sat off to the corner! THEN I felt someone staring and a cool breeze!!!!!!!!! OH YES!!!!!! So this was him in the corner :O o.O :$ :O :-) o.O :$ The ENTIRE time of the visit the quite LARGE "CRACK OF DAWN!" Was staring my poor brotherinlaw in the face!!! And he was SO in shock he couldn't move!!!! XD XD XD XD That's why I HATE the expression "Getting up at the crack of Dawn!" ;-)

That was a good story Bambie! Mine I can say went really easy with both my kids. My first I was sent to the hospital because I was having contractions but I really could not feel them when I got there I was already at 7 and wasn't feeling the pain so I went to the bathroom and I felt like I had to pee so they let me go and as soon as I set on the toliet I saw her head and my hubby grabbed me and took me back to the room and then she also just popped out. So I really don't know how long I was in labor because of the NO pain contractions..LOL :-D :-) o.O so I was a happy women. And with my second I went into my doctor's office and he checked me and said did you know you are having contractions? And I was like NO he said I was at 5 with my little boy and he said go straight to the hospital because the same thing might happen like it did with our first so I was like ok. We got there and I was in labor maybe 3 hours and this time I felt the pain when I got to 8 they were calling him telling him to come to the hospital so he said he was on his way since he was out playing golf. I remember the nurses calling him on the cell telling him hurry now the baby is coming and load and behold as soon as he walked in that room the head was out and he didn't even have time to put anything on but gloves then he caught him so I had to have some stitches as well. But I thought I had it really great with the labor with both my kids and now I am wondering if this will happen with this little baby girl. And I guess it could but I have been having dreams that I will be in labor for 20 hours and I don't think I can deal with that since I didn't have and Epidural with neither of the other two.

But talking about this I think today will be the day I pack my bags since I will be 32 weeks this Tuesday coming up And the weired thing is I had both my other two kids at 38 weeks so I guess it could happen again.

But man did you go really fast I would to be o.O And the brother-in-law thing I would to be shocked!! I bet you guys got a great laugh from that XD XD :$

Wow all of our labour sound like very fast labours hehe i was know around the hospital the wonder lady of child birth just about every one know about me when ever i would say i am the woman who came in right at the last minute they know who i was hehe i a way i like it in a way i wish i had some sign to say i have started so that i can ring the hospital and tell them to run the bath so i can have my water birth after 3 attempts of trying to have a water birth i have not ben able to cause of quick labours so i am hopping this one will give me a sign to say i have started so that i can get in the birthing pool and have my much wanted water birth

Bambi,
I've been reading you all's posts and it seems like you've been hitting the nail on the head. So maybe you could help me out. I had my menstrual start on may 29 and it lasted for about 4 days. my husband and i were intimate on june 5 and june 20. on june 24 i started what i thought was my menstrual, but less than 2 days it was gone again. before june 24, there were several days that i felt extremely hungry and stayed hungry all day. i've been extremely tired and for the last two days, i have been having back and side pains. is it possible that i could be pregnant? if so, when do you think i should take a pregnancy test?

Hi Selah! I just need some more information and I will help you further OK?

1. What is your cycle - 28, 29 etc?
2. Are your periods usually regular?
3. Did you happen to know when you ovulated?
4. Do you have sore nipples?
5. When is your next period due
6. On the 24th was it more like spotting?

Thanks Bambi.
1 and 2. It can vary a little each month. I keep track of it. Normally it's between 26-28 days. The last few months have been about 27 days.

3. I'm not too in tune with my body, I guess. I don't know when I ovulated. How can you tell?
4. They don't seem sore right now, but they have been a bit sensitive.
5. This month it should have started on or around the 24th or 25th. Next month it should be around july 20th or 21st.
6. It was very odd; very light and a light pink and then brownish color when it started. It was like this almost the whole day. That night it flowed more like the first day of a menstrual. By the middle of the next day, it was light again and by 9pm that night, it was gone again.

IF you ovulated on the june 11/12th then I don't think that either the 5th or the 20th would have worked! BUT that is only IF you ovulated on your regular times - usually a slight cramp and a white stringey discharge! What I would like you to do - until enough time has gone by to detect HCG levels! Is start taking prenatal vitamins - these help with YOUR fertility! You HAVE to take the whole vitamin to help! I would suggest you wait till July 7th to take a pregnancy test! BUT I don't think it has happened this time honey! - Sorry!

Hey Bambie! I have mint to ask you this before and now since I am getting closer to having our baby Alissa I have decided to get my tubes tied after I have her well the next morning thats when the doctor wants to do it and I was wondering I am going to be breast feeding her will that affect my flow of milk when I am in for surgery for the 3 hours? So what do I tell the nurses because I want to breast feed her? And will the pain med..they give me affect me breast feeding? I have look this up and can't find anything good on it. Will my milk supply go away?

I think he should do it the day of delivery IF at all! I will tell you why! It takes about a couple of days for your uterus to retract back to it's original size and this is VERY painful = as you know - each time the baby cries etc! And those 1st few days, you need to be able to start the regime of breast feeding and get your milk in! When my 2nd son was born, he was VERY ill so he was in the hospital and I tried and tried to keep my milk going and NOTHING it dried up over days and then I could NOT get it back! When you have stress from a surgery, or pain, your milk CAN dry up! Different pain meds can pass through the milk - so check into that! Some women even opt for a cesaerian and then have it done at the same time - thus cutting out another invasive/trauma to the uterus and tubes! Also REALLY look into ALL about tubes OK? I will tell you why there is a syndrome called PTLS - Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome! It is becoming more and more common and known about! So REALLY check into that! I would prefer your husband to have a vasectomy - FAR less complications and adjustments! Be informed honey!

Hey Bambie I have a big question to ask you..when my dad passed away a little over a year ago he left the house to me and my brother so it is in both our names and he is the one I was taking about early with you about the one on drugs really bad and now were I live 2 hours away from him and the house my family are wanting me to sell the half to them and my brother will maybe sell the rest to them but right now he is in trouble with the law from what I just heard from my family and he has let some drug dealers move in and they have taken over everything so they called for my help so what do I do? I was wanting to sell but I want at least 10,000 out of it because were the locations is it is a family land and only family so do I sell to my family. And if I go down there do I need to take a cop with me because of the two that is living with him that are drug dearlers? what do you think?

IF they are "friends" of your brother, there isn't much you can do = as he is half owner! BUT if they are squatters, you need to get them out of there immediately! With the polices help! I know I'm wonder woman honey, BUT I'm not knowledgeable about everything!!!! LOL If I were you I would get an assesment done on the house - just so you are not underpricing yourself! I doubt a house is worth only $20,000 including land! So check into that first! You can do it 2 ways - get the druggies out now, OR sell and then let the family take care of it! RU in contact with your brother! It should be him that gets them out! And I will tell you why, IF you get the police to kick them out, then you will have to make sure they DONT come back - BECAUSE I used to be a apartment manager and some would come back and DESTROY the place! So ask a lawyer, and a realtor, then get your ducks in a row!

well here in my part of the land it is at the end of the 1st of July and B4 the holidays start (tomorrow afternoon i thought i would get in and say hello and everything is fine with me i have a little person telling me that i am using up it room by bending over or when i lean over to make sure my bladder is completely empty so i get a few hours sleep at night s/he is bouncing around letting me know
