Update on my pregnancy-Belly pics too!

[tikeyas_mom]

Hey everyone,
Last last week has been really crazy for me, and my family.

I have been fighting off a UTI for the last month. On Thursday night of last week I started feeling VERY sharp pains in my lower back, and my right side of my stomache.. They got so bad during the night I was rushed to the hospital.
They took me up to the maternity ward, and they got me to take a urine test. Turns out my urine was full of blood. They Told me that I had a UTI that had spread to my right kidney.
I was hooked up to an IV, and they took about 4 viles of blood to do blood work on.
They hooked me up to a monitor to read the babys heart rate, turns out I was having slight contractions. They got pretty worried about the baby coming early, so they pumped me full of morphine to stop the pain, and gave me a drug through Iv to stop the contractions.
I was in the hospital for a total of four days/nights hooked up to IV, the whole time.
Well they let me out of the hospital on Monday morning, and sent me home with some oral drugs.. I goto the Doctors tonight for another consult.. Hopfully my infection is totally gone..I will be so dissapointed if the infection returns after I am done my meds. So please wish me luck .
If the infection comes back I will remain in hospital till the baby comes.. Lets hope it doesnt come to that.

I got my boyfriend to take some pics of my belly yesterday,
Hope you all enjoy!!! I am currently 33 weeks, and weigh 164lbs. (I have gained 34 lbs through out my whole pregnancy)

I am glad you are feeling better too, UTI's seem to be very common in pregnancy, i too had the same problem carrying one of my children,so keep a check on that and hopefully you will not get another.

Do you know what baby is, i reckon it's a boy, why do i say that, lol, because you seem to be carry quite low,as i did with my son, of course i have a 50/50 per cent chance of getting it right eh.

Keep well,and look after yourself.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Wow, you carry so beautiful (correct English???).

[tikeyas_mom]

Yes we are having a boy, good guess . I only recently dropped within the last week! That why everyone thinks he may be coming into this world a bit earlier then expected. Everyone thought I was havign a girl for the first 3 months that I was pregnant, because his heart rate was really high, and my morning sickness was brutal.

Don't count on him coming too early. People started telling me that when I started dropping, and my little one still hasn't made her appearance yet.

Oh you are so cute! You sure are carrying a boy, by the way you're carrying it looks 100% boy! I carried much wider. My belly got huge but it was a lot wider then yours, it wrapped around my belly more.

Hey, I'm going to tell you something and I want you to realize that every birthing experience is different. I want you to hear a good story as a break from all the bad stories you've likely heard. OK, this will sound weird, but I loved every second of my labor with Quinn. I was induced because my Doc was on vacation right around the time I was due and I was already dialated to 2 CM on my last exam and having contractions....we induced to avoid a stranger from having to deliver my baby. I loved EVERY second of my labor, except the epidural, which was something I think I could have done without (but it was a huge relief!!!). I loved feeling the labor. I found it interesting and facinating and beautiful how the contractions started out small and got stronger as the labor progressed. I loved finding out how much more I had dialated every time they examined me......and believe it or not, I absolutely LOVED pushing! OMG it was just such a workout but so amazing! I loved, loved, loved the pushing part and it was just the biggest thrill and hardest workout I've ever had. Wow. Even right after Quinn was born, and I mean RIGHT after she was born, I just remember being so excited to be doing it again someday when we are ready for our second child. I just can't WAIT to have another baby! I'm not ready yet, because I want Quinn to be at least a year old before we try again, but when it's time I am just so excited!

I'm not going to lie, there was pain involved, but the instant she came out I had forgotten all the pain. I forgot completely any pain that I went threw. It was honestly gone from my memory completely....GONE. When my friends and family were in my room with me, they said that towards the end I cried at contraction pains (the epidural stopped working on my right side but was working just fine on my left side...weird as it may sound) and I remember my family members telling me that I was in pain but I completely forgot any pain.

I thought you might like to hear a happy birthing experience since all we hear pretty much is how hard, painful, and horrible it is. All labor isn't bad. It's hard, yes. It's tiring, yes. It's a workout, yes...but I, for one, am excited to do it again!

Have fun and enjoy every moment of the end of your pregnancy...especially when your baby has the hiccups. That's a feeling I will forever cherish.
