With the whole microwave thing I always stand back but my doc said that as long as it shuts properly (meaning you don't have to shove a wooden spoon in the door to make it stay shut) then it should be fine. I still stand back though. My microwave is at belly button level so i just be extra cautious. I've got another question for you all. My doc put me on a Antibiotic a while back for a UTI and the bottle said to talk to my doc if pregnant. Well I added it up and i'm pretty sure I WAS prego at the time. I didn't take all the pills cuz i have a really forgetfull mind and just forgot them i guess but my question is - should i be concerned? It has me a nervous wreck! Any opinions would be great.

Hi again, I skimmed through the posts and all Ican say is thanks for the prayers and cute dress Erin. Everything else went in my eyes and out the head I think.
I am so tired, and worried. what a rough couple of days it has been. I am starting to feel some better. They got me off the mag and put me on a pill of somesort (can't remember name) to keep the contractions away. I got my last shot of steroids about an hour ago. And I am now in my own room, not a L&D room. So all this seems to be a good sign. I am completely mad at myself for not being more prepared. I didn't have my hospital bag packed, no carseat, nothing ready... ugh! But my lovely dh did good packing my bag and my work went and bought the carseat just in case we need it in the next few days. I hope they at least send me home to be on bedrest...I hate hospitals! My dr. will make her rounds in the morning so I guess we shall see. I will keep you guys posted. The internet keeps going in and out here so I am hoping this post goes through.
Thanks for the prayers.

Don't be mad at yourself and beat yourself up -- that will only add to the overall stress. A lot of people don't even think about prepping a bag until closer to week 37, and you are still a fair distance from that.
If they do decide to send you home for bedrest, make sure you adhere to that!!! That means if you don't have to use the bathroom, you don't go anywhere (other than doctor appointments!) Thinking that "oh, doing this shouldn't cause problems" is what can make things worse (I say this having watched a friend on full bedrest for two pregnancies -- deciding to move around more than recommended brought on pre-term labour).
And if you end up staying there, make sure dh brings you lots of stuff to help ward off the doldrums ... and have him bring dinner once in a while as well (even cheese sandwiches can taste better than hospital food at times!)

Dh joked that when ds came just past 42 weeks, that he wouldn't be baked, he'd be burned (especially since I created a psycho-hot omelette to try to smoke him outta there ... and it worked!)

Kim, according to what I've heard 140 is still in the girl range. Anything 140 and above is supposedly girl and below 140 is supposedly boy. This has been true for my little girl her heart beat has always been between 160 and 140. Also any "gender prediction" tests I take online for fun have always said girl as well. I know they aren't accurate, but it's kind of fun.
Kristin, praying for you and your little one.
I had a ton of contractions last night. They were strong enough to keep my awake most of the night. They've tapered off quite a bit now though.
Question, for those of you who have already given birth, how long after you felt you "dropped" until you went into labor? I think the baby dropped about a week and a half ago. Everyone keeps telling me that most people go into labor within 2 weeks of dropping. I know this isn't true for everyone, just wondering how accurate it is.
DH is going to be gone over night next week from Tuesday till Wednesday. So I hope she decides to wait at least another week. We shall see!
