I *think* I'm due in August, but we'll find out exactly sometime this week.

How are you all feeling? I'm EXTREAMLY hungry all the time. I'm trying really hard to not eat crap. Starting out at a heavier weight than I'm comfortable with is a huge motivator to eat right. Since I also work at home, getting regular exercise is going to be important.

Called my midwife last week, we've set up a dating ultrasound, discussed my birthing choices. I'll be heading to Stratford Hospital to be delivered, after having Maddie at home (which was wonderful), and hemmoraging for the 2nd birth in a row, we decided that to be on the safe side we'd birth at the hospital and head home within 12 hours.

I'm in here too but I've been keeping quiet thanks to work. Boo work. Now they know so all is good.

Michelle we are doing a midwife with a hospital birth too. I might be able to be talked into a homebirth this time but there is NO way DH would agree. No big deal.
I'm also hungry all the time. I try not to stress about it. If this one nurses as much and grows as fast as my other two I'll need it. Plus I am still wearing the jeans from before my first pregnancy, so I deserve to gain a few extra pounds.

ITA on the hunger thing, it's awful! I'll have breakfast, 2nd breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, supper, snack. Trying to do all this eating in a healthy manner has been interesting!

I'm off to my dating ultrasound this aft. I'll update this evening. I'm very exciting to see this little bean

Michelle, can't wait to hear your duedate! I also deliver in Stratford, maybe we'll see each other

Who's your midwife? I have Beth as my primary this time, I've had Charlotte as my primary, Beth as secondary for the last 3, but she's on holidays for 2 weeks right when I'm due!
I'm not starving, I'm nautious and nothing is appealing. Actually, club sandwhiches and Big Mac's are, but I live too far McD's and I'm trying to avoid lunch meat too much so I've been having a lot of BLT sandwhich's. Dh's thinks it is a weird snack for 10 o'clock at night, but I like them

Michelleshere · 01-25-2010, 12:20 PM

Hey!

I haven't been assigned yet, but Charlotte was my primary and Rebekka was my second for Maddie's birth. I hope we run into each other!

I'm not sure what's worse, feeling sick of being starving ALL.THE.TIME. I can't wait to move past these weeks.

Michelleshere · 01-25-2010, 03:07 PM

Apparently I'm eating for 3.

It explains a lot.

Leigh · 01-25-2010, 03:08 PM

congrats!

Michelleshere · 01-25-2010, 03:11 PM

Haha. I'm not sure congrats is what I like hearing at the moment. Give me time. I quite think I'm going to run out of time before this sinks in.

sardam · 01-25-2010, 03:12 PM

So I guess the midwives won't be your primary care anyways! I know they will usually still try to attend the birth for previous patients though and sometimes are able to do care for the first 30 weeks or whatever it is. Good Luck with everything. You might be the first of us to go in the end!
