That's fuuun! :lol:

Yes, it's the first baby. He will be sooooo spoiled. He's not only OUR first baby. He's pretty much THE first in all our relations in the family :lol: . Aunt Gwen already said 'Oooh, at our motorbike event September 2nd I already know what I'm doing.' MIL said 'Yeah? What's that then?' Aunt Gwen was like 'Of course, holding Stef's baby.' I was like 'Great, I get to ride with my husband again.' :lol:

I think, my time is Eastern time, but I'm not sure. We live in PA... so I think, it's Eastern.

Thanks for this poll. Do I get to guess, too?

Yep Steph we are Eastern Time

I am so happy for you, do you have the nursery all decorated?

No, unfortunately not :( . This is because we had the baby shower at my MIL's house, with glutenfree cake of course :rolleyes: , and everything we got didn't fit into my car. So Lukas and I got like two car loads of goodies :lol: . And we had to leave my husbands truck up there, because his dad wanted to repair something in it's engine (he is the owner of a machine shop, so it's for free). So, everything we got didn't fit in the car, especially not the baby crib and the drawer/cupboard, whatever you call it. Then the bassinet is still up there and some other stuff. We will get it down here, when the truck is fixed, which already took like 16 days so far. So I hope we will get everything soon. <_< And then I will get going here like a whirlwind. But I already did some small stuff. I maybe can post some pics soon, if I have the time...

Just wanted to let you guys know. Nothing so far! I had to go to the bathroom tonight for the first time in this pregnancy due to pressure on my bladder. Might be a sign, that the head is engaged and putting pressure on. Then I woke up to very slight tension in my back. Felt like a kidney problem :o . No real pain, just disturbing for a while. 1 hour later it was gone. I've had disturbing pressure on my pubic bone all day, even now as I'm writing this. So I hope, something will start here soon. I don't know though. Could be being sore from working out and having loose ligaments and joints at this point in life as well.

Good night. I'll let you know, if anything changes as soon as I can.

Sounds like things are on the move. Could be another week or so though.

I'll be looking for updates. Gotta live vicariously through you gals that are expecting now. :)

My predictions are

21 inch long

7lbs9.2oz

time of birth 2:15am on Aug 26 sorry unless you have sex with your husband alot, sperm has some kind of magic on getting contraction to happen

I think that you will go fast because you are in shape maybe 8hrs

without pitosin, which will be easier

no drugs, natural all the way, maybe some Demorol to take the edge off at the very end at 8-9cm works like a charm gives you enough rest for the finally.

When you do have your baby if something does not look right and the nurses are not feeling you about your concerns then get someone who will. I work with newborns I'm not a nurse but I have seen baby not looking right color and all making noises that they are not suppose too, like grunting sounds cute to someone who does not know that the noise is wrong. so if you don't feel comfortable about your baby send him the nursery between feeding at first and then ease him in back to your room to get to know him, let the nursery staff take care of him especially if your are tired, if he winds up big like over 8lbs let him have a little forumal if you are breastfeeding your colosterum yes is enough but sometimes not enough for a big baby. Hope you have a great birthing experiance.

How are you hanging in Stef? Anything yet? We're still 18 days and counting over here.

Hi there, 9 days left and still nothing. Sometimes I feel pressure from the baby trying to expand and he puts the pressure either on the front of my belly or down. And even though, the pressure is slightly uncomfortable, I try to support him in putting the pressure down there. In the hope, maybe something (like the mucous plug) plops out :lol: .

I will hop over to your poll in a second, Angie! Just hang in there! I'm still counting, too!

She's naming him Lukas. Isn't that beautiful? I believe her full name choice was Lukas Alexander. Sounds so regal, doesn't it? :)

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
