2009 Pregnancy/baby thread

Congratulations Carmen on your new baby girl!

Finn's mom, that is great that they were successful in turning your baby for you.

When I was pregnant with my daughter 13 years ago she was breech and I had the same procedure done but it didn't work. 3 times they got my daughter to turn halfway and then she stubbornly went back to breech position. I know how sore you are now. My daughter ended up being a breech delivery two weeks after the procedure, luckily she was just a little over 5 lbs so it was a quick delivery. I hope you have a nice easy delivery and that your baby girl stays in the right position for delivery now.

Thanks, everyone, for checking in on us!

We are still a-ok!

And, Vermontcat, I'm actually not sore at all! I don't know that it might hit me later on today or tomorrow, but right now, I'm not feeeling it at all. I'm pretty surprised, actually! But, I guess I shouldn't be, my doctor is brilliant.

The strangest thing is how different my belly looks! Now that the majority of her weight is low, it looks completely different. I don't think she's dropped, yet, even after the turning, but I'm definitely carrying her lower, now.

I'm so glad everything went well and Clara turned for you! I hope all is going well for Carmen and Laura, too!

hi everyone, i'm finally home with baby laura.
i'm writing with one hand as she is in my other arm.
the c-section went well.
she is healthy and was given a good bill of health yesterday.
i had to stay an extra day because of a complication.
so we both got home today around 2 pm.
i am so tired but it was so worth it.

Welcome, Laura Grace! I like your little sheepie sleeper!

Good job, mom, she's a beauty!

Congrats and blessings to you all.

And Kari, I'm so glad the procedure went well and hope little miss stays put. Quinn actually waited until just a couple weeks before delivery before she decided to turn. We actually scheduled a c-section and last minute changed the c-section to an induction since she turned. When she turned she was just a couple weeks from our due date and wow did I ever feel it. There was no doubt that she was turning when it finally happened....it took my breath away and was incredibly intense.

I can't wait to "meet" your little bundle also. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy flew past for both you and Carmen. Now Carmen's basking in the glory of motherhood and you're just about there yourself. Wowwie!

Oh my gosh, Carmen, she looks so much like you! She's wonderful and precious and perfect and look at her fingers! They're so long and tiny! I can't get over it, you created her! It's incredible. Sending lots of love from our family to yours. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Leslie, you are so right! It has flown by for me. I can't believe I've only got 16 days til Clara is due to arrive. My friend's baby turned the night before delivery! It's all up to the baby!

They're not even born and already controlling everything, hahaha.

All of this has been such a surreal thing, it's been fantastic, to say the least!
