Another question...I was messing with my nipples yesterday and it seems like there was some clear fluid coming out of them...not much just a bit. Is it too early for that? I'll be 19 weeks on Thursday.
It's colostrum...I noticed it at 18-20 weeks with Jael...I didn't start fiddling with my nipples with Hannah until later in my pg with her...I noticed thicker colostrum around 8 months with her.

Kathryn- Thank you. Did you decide for sure about the midwife? It makes me sad I can never use one. My pregnancies are just too medical- between hyperemisis, fybroids, and the placental abruption last time, I need a doc- but in my dream world would find a practice that I can see a doc the first 6-7 months and switch to a midwife for delivery- or just deliver at the side of the road cause I stayed home too long...
With #1, my dad was asking about #2 in the delivery/recovery room- I told him to wait until the next day and then I'd be ready to think about it- I only had 1.5 hours of sleep in 36 hours... With #2, we had to find out that she was a girl due to medical problems so we were already plotting #3 while I was still pg...
Yes, we are using a homebirth midwife. I talked about her in the natural birth thread. I am really excited, it seems like things are really working out!!

EgyptianPrincess, I believe PureJoy is a nurse. Not positive though.
Erin, I start leaking colostrum around 19 weeks too.
Kati, I didn't feel any hiccups until 36 weeks (just over a week ago)! That's alot later than most people tough!
PureJoy, Thank you! I think attitude is so important in life. I really believe a good attitude keeps you younger and healthier (and obviously happier). When I was working I worked with the elderly and it was amazing the difference in the ones who were really bitter and the ones who decided to be happy about their situations. The ones with good attitudes were almost always healthier, always happier and much more pleasant to be around! My mom used to always tell us when we were little "you can choose your attitude. If you're miserable, it's because you're choosing to be." Besides, things could be alot worse, I'm way better off than the majority of people in the world. Oh, and so far I love the wraps! I don't have a baby to put in it yet, but I tried one out with a baby doll and it worked really well (I know, not the same, but it gave me an idea!).
I woke up with a really sore throught this morning. I'm hoping it was from sleeping with my mouth open, and that I'm not getting sick! My allergies have been acting up the last few days, I suppose it could be from that as well...

Posting blind...sorry!
Just wanted to update and tell you ladies I am in the hospital. I havent' felt good for about a week and then Mon. I started spotting, I waited for my appt on tues, where they immediately sent me to L&D. They have finally gotten my contractions to stop so they took me off the magnesium.
Gotta go for now, please be praying for us...
And all you out there, pack you bags!!!

Erin - I remember the calf cramps from my first pregnancy. They were tough to endure in the middle of the night although brief. Although I haven't had hip or leg numbness, I have been getting numb arms and hands plus localized pain in my hip. My doctor told me not to worry.
Kristin - You are in my prayers.
I haven't posted although I look at the board frequently. This pregnancy, now 12 wks along, is so much different from my 1st which was 10 years ao this save time of year. My pregnancy with my son was completely non-eventful and easy. This pregnancy is completely different. I have had 4 bleeding (mostly spotting) incidents so far and have been at the doctor at least triple the times a normal pregnancy. My doc told me I have to take it easy - no exercise or intimacy. Luckily, the baby's heartbeat is strong and there are no traces of blood. BUT it is a little scary not knowing what is going on. I was ok with "oh everything ok, don't worry" comments from the doc for the 1st couple of times, but by the 4th time, those words are not so reassuring. I thank God that I haven't lost this baby with all of the spotting so far.
When I was in L&D with the last incident, the ultrasound tech measured my baby at 19 weeks when I was 11 1/2. My 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks measured where it should have been, 6 weeks. Does anyone know if it is easy for an ultrasound tech to make a measuring mistake and poorly estimate?

Kristin, I'm glad they've gotten them to stop and will be praying.
Angie - praying for you too. I'm sure it's very possible the tech could have made a mistake. Can you get another opinion? I know as a pregnancy gets farther along it is much more difficult to determine gestational age by it.

I would absolutely demand another ultrasound.
