benadryl, unisom, tylenol PM. They all have the same ingredient for sleep and it what is recommended for a sleep aid while pregnant.

@Shae, no problem! I think the shivering and chills were awful as well! I literally couldn't move it was so bad. The first night, I just wanted to get in the hot shower but I knew taking off my clothes would make me colder so I really was debatin…

@Shae, I have had been producing less milk out of my left breast (the one that I had the mastitis in) since I went to the doctor (las Thursday). The lactation consultant in the NICU and NP's have all said that this probably will decrease the milk p…

It sounds like mastitis, I went through this last week and have been on antibiotics ever since. It came on super quick, just lots of pain driving home from the hospital (my baby is still in the NICU after 3 weeks) and when I got home, the shivering…

I had a growth scan last week at 35 weeks 4 days and they estimated my son to be 8 lbs 1 oz. I was already in the hospital because of pre-e, low platelets and very low urine output. The next day just got worse so they did my c-section then (2 prio…

Update, alexander was born at 5:19 pm on 9/21. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. He did good initially and then had problems breathing so he was sent to the nicu. He has been there since and is not doing very well. He was on cpap t…

@everyone, so it is baby day! I have gained 8 lbs in less than 2 days so fluid is going in just not coming out. I can't keep my blood sugars up and there is just too much going on. I am 35 weeks 5 days today and they are taking me back for a csect…

I have a small pelvis which prevented a vaginal birth for me. I was in labor for 24 hours and pushed for 4. They used a vacuum on my son and did an episiotomy but the vacuu@m popped off 5 times. They had to go in for an emergency c-section. My so…

Update: I am still in the hospital and will likely remain here until I deliver this *little* man. I definitely have pre eclampsia but it is mild. I had very little urine output over 24 hours and they are giving me fluids and I am drinking a lot o…

I am scheduled to have a c-section on 10/4. This would be my 3rd because my babies just don't fit through my pelvis (even at 5 lbs 8 oz) so that worries me. I am also complicated by type 1 diabetes.

Thanks for all the info everyone! My count on Friday was 120K from 143K and today it was down to 109K so it is falling. My blood pressures aren't too bad but I have +2 protein in my urine and 3+ edema/swelling. I was in the process of doing my 24…

Thanks ladies!

I personally think Boudreaux's butt paste works the best but I love the way A&D ointment smells (like a brand new tattoo!). I would also kill for some hickory jerky right now!

My first was born at 35 weeks. I just went into labor sort of suddenly, no contractions or dialation before that point. I just woke up in pain! My second was also born at 35 weeks and I am 35 weeks right now with my 3rd and I won't go past 37 wee…

I don't have any experience with army medical, but I gave birth to my daughter (5 years old) at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, CA. They were awesome! The only thing I had to complain about there is that it is a teaching hospital and it too…

yay! I can't wait but if I have to endure another Kristen Stewart horrible acting scene like the hospital scene in Twilight, I will stick a dull pencil in my eye.

Good advice above. I am having my 3rd c-section sometime in the next 5 weeks. First was an emergency and I really dont remember much of it, the second was sort of scheduled. I went into labor early so they had to go in but it wasn't as much as an…

@Emmalee7, well I don't think I am one of those moms but I am not sure. I think I drive the same as when I drove my Rav-4. I think everyone around here drives crappy though. I don't want to call anyone out on the retarded word, but it was used on…

Well I guess I am one of those crazy minivan driving soccer moms... We traded in our 07 Rav-4 Sport for an 08 Honda Odyssey Touring in June and we love it. We are expecting our 3rd so there was no way we were going to fit 2 booster seats and a car…

I got a bunch of stuff from gymboree on sale. He is going to wear a short sleeve onesie that says "Introducing Me" with a little lion embroidered on it, matching striped pants, socks, knit beanie and blanket. He probably won't need the s…

I went crazy at Carter's in the store. They were having a 70% off sale at the time and I had a 20% coupon on top of that. Baby Alexander has so much stuff for the first at least 6-9 months. I doubt he will have a chance to wear it all. Not to me…
-
I think people want to buy all the cute stuff like clothes for a shower instead of the practical stuff like diapers and bottles. If I had a shower with this baby, I would want a diaper shower! Diapers of all sizes, you can never have too many! Wh…

Sorry you are going through this. There are other positions you can try if you can get him into it. Try the edge of the bed. You lying on the edge, him standing, put your legs over his shoulders. Also shower sex is good. Maybe mixing things up …

@blueberrysmom, I don't know if you are still looking for clothes for blueberry but 77kids has some super cute things! Here is the website: http://www.ae.com/77kids/browse/category.jsp?catId=babyboys Also they are having a sale through Monday, 40%…

It is carpal tunnel syndrome and it is common with pregnancy. You can try getting splints and wearing them at night. They sell them at pretty much any drugstore or target or walmart. I have had it before pregnancy and now it is so much worse. I can…

Yeah most bases have an entertainment ticket office. You can buy movie theater tickets, disney tickets and they have info on the current promotions that are running at the time. My husband was stationed at MCAS miramar in San Diego and we had a ti…

Check the sea world website. You can get in free 1 time per calendar year. I think it is the military member and 3 dependants. They also give you discounts around the park. Also if you are in southern california or visiting in the month of no…

@crystaldawn0830, that sounds about right, measuring 3 weeks ahead. My little man was measuring around 3 weeks ahead when they did the ultrasound last week and they estimated his weight at about 4 lbs 9 oz. If the doctors aren't worried, try not t…
