Since I still read here...
Locolala - My OB appt to get my incision checked tomorrow was cancelled too. I'm not as upset as I would be if it were my ultrasound, but it's annoying that this city can't cope with snow. My street was plowed once since Friday, yesterday afternoon only after my husband emailed our neighborhood councilman (who in turn emailed the DOT) about there being feet of snow in the roads.
Cici - I was checking in to see how your c-section went and hoping things are going well for you and your new addition!
I was sick yesterday with a stomach virus my inlaws brought to my house and let me just say, vomiting after abdominal surgery is not my idea of fun. And of course it was the day my MIL flew home, but at least my husband is off this week. He had all 3 kids all day and is just loving his vacation week right now!
We had a false alarm the other night... I sneezed and I thought that my water had broken, it wasn't a gush or anything, but more than I thought should have come out. DH called the dr. who had me stand up and cough. I did and fluid came out so she said to go to the hospital.
Justine - I am sorry you were sick. I hope everyone is on the mend. I am such a germaphobe ... if DS starts acting wierd I get totally freaked out that he's going to get sick.
I don't know what the recent topic of discussion was on the old thread.
Nothing new here ....
My DH, among others, thinks I am NUTS for thinking that life is going to be easier when the baby is born vs now. Any mom's of 2+ agree? I am so tired now I can barely move ... nevermind care for a 3 year old. I know it's going to be tough the first few weeks but I just can't wait to get my body back and at least be able to have a glass of wine when I meltdown instead of lock myself in the bathroom and cry, freaking out DS and DH!!
oh no. the old thread closed and I can't access the list anymore. *sigh*
I will work on re-creating it later. I don't have time today, guys. Sorry. :-/

DH called the dr. who had me stand up and cough. I did and fluid came out so she said to go to the hospital. When we got there we went to triage and I went to the bathroom 2 times before I was even seen! I just felt like I had to go so bad! The nurse that helped us was so nice. They put me on the monitor and then a doctor came in and he examined me saying that he did not see any fluid but that he would take a swab and examine it. He came back saying it wasn't fluid but they did an ultrasound to see how much fluid was around the baby. I was told that it was low but nothing to be concerned about. Just to drink more fluids because that will up the fluid for the baby. DH and I had to walk around for an hour to see if anything else came out. We got to see lots of babies in the nursery which was fun. No more leakage but had another ultrasound with one of the residents. She was so nice too! She took the time to point things out to us, her cheeks, eyes, heart, ribs, and then she said that her bladder was full and she was going to go to the bathroom soon Just like her mom
So in the end we were sent home, obviously. We were there for about 3 hours total. I guess I'm kind of embarassed that it was just pee and I didn't know the difference. But the doctor said to come in! I swear! So now I make sure that I am drinking a ton of water to make sure that the baby is good and floating around in there.
Honestly when the doctor said to go to the hospital I got really scared. I didn't feel ready! We still have 3 weeks to go and though a lot is ready, I didn't feel ready. I put last minute things in our bags and DH drove safely but quickly. He was really hoping to have the baby that night. When we were leaving triage he said "thanks, see you soon we promise" and all the nurses laughed. I'm anxious now. Knowing that we will be back there soon. At least we know what to expect in triage now!

Don't worry about being embarrased. The same thing happened to me at the end of December and I was embarrassed too. DH told me that if I hadn't gone to the hosp and something really was wrong I would have been upset that I didn't go, so you did the right thing.
I have another dr. appt tomorrow and then another appt with the Peri on Thursday. At our last peri appt the dr said that I won't be pregnant on my due date, so I hope they'll give us some more information as to when we are going to be induced. We're both starting to really worry... we know that she's small and it just doesn't help when people say things like "you don't even look pregnant!" or yell at me because I'm not "big enough". (Which really, I don't understand becuase why are you yelling at the pregnant lady over something that she can't control) DH said to me yesterday "the lady at work who is due in may looks much more pregnant than you". Thanks dear. Thanks.
Hula - When you sneeze does it hurt? It hurts everytime I sneeze and I worry that its affecting something. I'm only 25 weeks roughly but I still worry something is going to go wrong one of these sneezes.

LOL Hulagirl!!
I have the same problem. It's so bad I wear a pad. That's what happens when you get old, have had two babies, and have no pelvic floor left.
I guess it's too late to do kegals...LOL
The doctor was smart to tell you to go...you never know. Always best to be safe than sorry.
I keep worrying my water could break in the tub and I would never know it. I think that is what happened with my first DD. I was in labour and took a bath and then left to the hospital and when I got there they asked me when my water broke. I had no idea it had!

Are you particularly long waisted? I have a long body and (what I say are) short stumpy legs and you can barely tell I'm pregnant. With DD I didn't show until I was nearly 6.5 months. I asked my dr. about it and he told me it was because I had a long waist... He used to be the OB for the lady horn's basketball team, and he said a couple of them got pregnant, and you couldn't even tell AT TERM! wow.
