October 2010 Mommies

It seems that there is no specific time for the baby's head to get into position. Sometimes it does'nt happen till the last moment while sometimes it happens 2-4 weeks before the EDD.. So nothing to worry for now. I asked my gyno about the position during my last week visit and she confirmed that the baby was head down. Maybe yours has already set by now. Do ask your gyno in your next visit. BTW, Do you have the internal examination due in the 36 week?

@Carnatica : i have heard that for first timers, the baby head gets settled around 36th week. for second baby onwards, there is no fixed time and it can be just before the labor


@Godschild : i m sure u will clear the test again. best of luck :thumbsup

@Everyone : i m so psyched about the interna exam :hide: though my Gyn hasnt talked about yet. all dignity/shame/privacy gonna go for a toss :biglaugh :biglaugh

btw, i found a fetal kick counter here -

Fetal kick count chart print out - chart to record baby kicks during pregnancy - Baby2see.com


here is an example of a filled out chart -
Fetal kick count - print out this chart to record baby kicks during pregnancy

My gyn has not asked me to make a chart yet, but i started from today

 

Hi DaisyMom,

The one provided by my Doctor is more simpler. It looks something like this:

This is easier to maintain. However, dont expect movement exactly as per this sheet. The end objective is to have more than 10-15 kicks per day.

Gee thanx sweetheart!! :bowdown

i will use it after a couple of weeks, cz right now, my LO kicks like 50 times or more in a day :bonk

i m taking a print out and will fill it as well as the one i found online. the one given by u will measure total movements and the one i found will measure the frequency!

thnx a ton again!

 

Hi All,

My due date is Oct 16th. Iam really upset about how my life turned up. My parents were supposed to be here in another week or so for my delivery in US. My mom was a very healthy person and she suddenly expired in 1st week of August during which i was in my 31st-33rd week of pregnancy. I had to travel to India after hearding the unexpected news and Iam back to US now. I have no idea what life still holds for me.. I dont have a MIL either. Iam not worrying about me as who is going to take care of me during delivery, but the loss of mom during this time of pregnancy is what I cannot bear. Wish this never happens to anyone in this world. I love my mom very much. Had so much of dreams to take care of her well when she is in US with us, but these dreams will now be always dreams forever. I just cannot forsee how I can pass my days without my mom. Just longing to hear her voice atleast once. Just longing to see her atleast once. Dont know why God took us away from all of us..She had been good to everybody.. She did things unconditionally to many of my relatives too..

I still have 5-6 weeks left for my due date, I dont know if Iam thinking more about my baby these days. Iam not really prepared for the delivery mentally...The loss of my loving mom dont know if anything else can compensate her. My mom's last wish she kept saying was to help me with delivery and to bring up my baby.. Now she is no more.. all I have is memories of my dear Mom..Mom I love you...Everyday, every min we are missing you.

 

Dearest unexpectedlife, I just read your post and I am heartbroken. I just don't know what to write...Nothing can heal this loss, I can't even start to think what you are doing through right now. I am really sorry for your loss. Its all the more difficult in a time like this when you are expecting. We all are a thousand times closer to our moms when we ourselves approach motherhood. I think a mother's bond with her daughter is really special and nothing in this entire world can compare to it, ever. Yet , I am asking you to do the impossible, perhaps the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. Hold on.......for your baby. Your mother would have wanted you to be happy, really happy in your pregnancy. You owe this to her and your baby. Try to relax and hold yourself together in the days to come. Even if your mother isn't there with you physically ,I know she would always be there with you......

I am sending a little prayer for you and your baby and sincerely hope you pull through this and come out stronger than ever....

Dear Unexpectedlife : we can only try to fathom the intensity of your pain. becoming a mother and losing our own at the same time can wreck up even the strongest of us. the wound is fresh and the pain seems to be unrelenting... yes, i know.

no one can take the place of your mother, not now when u are about to deliver... not ever. but your mother has given you her unending love and passed on all those wonderful genes and feelings that will make sure that you become a perfect mom to your own baby. she is coming back to you in the form of the bundle of joy you gonna receive in a few weeks. her love will always be around the baby to hold you and guide you in the journey.

trust me, she is watching over you...

i know life seems so unfair right now... but you have to, and i m sure you will be - as strong and as loving as your mom, to make sure that ur LO gets his/her fair share of love and care.

do it for her. make her even more proud of you.

we are here for support during this tough time. drop in as often as you can.

talking helps. sharing helps. trust me on this. i speak from experience


prayers for the soul of your mom.
Lots of love and hugs for u...

 

Dear Unexpectedlife

No words can heal ur wounds... take care dear.. eat well ... u need to have stamina for everything...
We will pray for u and ur baby health...
