Well my Dr has restricted me from my walks. I was walking a half mile twice a day (my mother has been taking Molly on her longer walks) but I started getting this real tight feeling all the way across my stomach that actually made it uncomfortable to walk. Since my youngest came six weeks early, my Dr doesn't want to take any chances. The Nearest NICU is 2 hours away and we would like this one to come when scheduled and not a month and half early. So I have been told to take things very easy. I am allowed to amble around the block once a day as long as is doesn't cause any discomfort. I would really like this one to stay in there as long as possible.

Its really infuriating in a way. My oldest came three weeks early and was 5 pounds 3 ounces. My youngest came six weeks early and was 5 pounds 2 ounces. My Dr thinks maybe its because I carry so low all the way through my pregnancies. I don't smoke, or drink or do drugs. I do everything that I'm suppose to. Yet my ronchy sister in law smoked through both of her pregnancies and did pot and still had big babies and went over due with her second. Its not fair.

So feel free to send out baby stay in mojo. I am due December 16th. I so do not want to go into to labor at the first of November.

Keep those legs crossed tight! ;)

Seriously though, I hope you have an uneventful rest of pregnancy time and a safe delivery!

Well, just think of all the walks you can take AFTER you give birth! Best to be safe and take it easy. Since you have a history of pre term births... you are definately at risk for this one being pre term. If you could at least make it to the 37 week point that would be much better. 38 to 40 weeks is considered full term. So, 37 weeks really is hardly ever a problem. Under that... you start having typical premature issues. So, lets hope you keep that bun in the oven just a little bit longer! Goodluck!!

Thanks everyone. I am following Drs orders to the letter. He said he would at least like to see me make it past thanksgiving.

Baxter'sMyBaby, I will read that to little everyday. I just hope it listens. (wish we knew if it was a boy or a girl, feels weird calling the baby 'it').

My youngest not only insisted on being born early, but he has an impatient nature too. Always in a hurry to be big enough to do things and wanting to rush into things.
