FIVE MORE WEEKS!!!

[angie1980]

I have five more weeks til my scheduled c-section and I can't believe how close I am. I am only 34 weeks but they are taking him a little early. I went to the doctors today and I can't believe it I weigh in at 186 I was 145 prepregnacy! I know you gain more with each baby and you show faster whatever I can't believe it 186 I swear I will be at least 190 when he actually born Yikes anyone know any good diets lol well I know I will lose the weight eventually and I did with my other two children I just can't get over it though. It is as though I have no control over my body anymore though I mean I can't see my feet forget bending over that is out of the question.

Today I took the kids out to do some shopping and I thought I lost my son Nate who is 3 I started freaking out I really began to panic I started to call his name and as I did that I felt this little tap on my side IT WAS HIM!! I was releived and embarrassed all at the same time the sales woman probably thought I was looney LOL But I didn't see him over the Belly. Funny huh? Anyone else ever do something like that? He just smiled up at me and said I was a silly mommy. Such a goof.

Anyone have any advice for a very tired pregnant woman that can see her feet and loses he kid under her big belly? I feel lucky though I am healthy and so is Mason to be. Just waiting patiently.

I have two children and when I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I seemed to be bigger with him than I was with my 1st one. But, I am also a heavy set woman and was able to carry both kids full term. I know it is hard  to do that with two extra kids. I suggest just get some help from family and friends to see if they can do anything for you to help with youjr feet swollen. What seem to hlep me is once a week, my husband would massage my feet or soak my feet and that seemed to help.

Jun. 15, 2007 at 10:51 AM Yes, we definitely do carry bigger and tend to gain more weight with each pregnancy.  I know I did with my second, not to mention, I swelled up so badly with the 2nd.  There is nothing you can do to prevent that extra weight coming on and dieting is not recommended I don't think.  You have to keep in mind the closer you get to delivering the more and more this baby is still continuing to grow.  This is the fastest weight gain stage for them in the womb.  I still recommend staying off your feet as much as possible and getting rest where you can because once this 3rd little one comes your job is getting to be harder unless you can have some family or friends come in a few times a week to help you out.  Which is what I did.  Keep those feet up and elevated more during the day if you can and stay away from starchy, sugary or salty foods if possible.  Was wondering have you asked them about taking the baby at 36 or even 37 weeks if you and dr. think it would be okay?  I know a lot of people who delivered or had a C-section at 36 weeks and their babies came out just fine.
