Do you know if your hospital has an I-Nursery?

What's an I-Nursery. :huh:

Steph,

I'm so excited for you! I was wondering about yesterday too since you had done so much work the day before. :blink:

It's a place on the hospitals website where you can go and see the baby's pictures who were born. It doesn't give last names or sometimes not even anything more than the mothers first name. It gives weight, height, and birth time. They are becoming popular.

Here is the one at the hospital I work at.

You would find the month on the left hand side and you will get a calendar and find the baby. They are a great way to share the birth with long distance family and friends.

My sisters baby was born in a different hospital, and they took a couple different pictures and one of the parents and they were on the "baby's page" on the I-nursery. It was cute.

Ok, I've heard of those.

That's neat! I thought you had to have name/password to access those sites.

Some hospitals you do, some you don't. I know our hospital doesn't require any passwords or anything. :)

Stef, so glad things are progressing for you. I thought for sure that you were having him yesterday. Hopefully you'll go today or tomorrow. I'm so excited for you!!!

Thanks for all the 'Good luck' wishes. I just lost my mucous plug like 10 minutes ago. Since I have never been pregnant, I don't know, if that was the entire plug, but it was quite a big of a chunk. Now all the early signs have happened so far. Next thing must be baby :rolleyes: , there is no other way anymore now. Things are rolling and it's pretty much the point of no return :P .

Um, INursery... I have no idea. There is something like a Web Nursery on the Women's Center webpage, where I'm delivering. But it doesn't seem to be connected to the actual Women's Center :unsure: . I have no idea, guys. I decided to just put the link to the hospital in here and if I go into l&d without a chance to update you in time, then it depends on, if this Web Nursery is for free or not. Cause if it's not, then I gladly wait the 48 hours until I come home. I've heard, they can be sooo expensive. Here's the link to the Women's Center in Carlisle, where I'm delivering. Maybe even some of you guys can figure this out. Sometimes I'm an internet idiot... sorry:

Stef, it appears to be free. They will likely have forms for you to fill out at the hospital. Be sure that you read all the fine print though as sometimes they try to trick you into buying your baby's first photos through them and they're generally (IMO) not worth the money. I just took a camera w/ me to the hospital and had my husband following the nurses around snapping pictures. I'm sure you'll be able to do the same thing.

Good luck tonight! I hope you get a good night's sleep before you go into labor. I have a funny feeling your wait will now be measured in hours rather than days. :) Enjoy it all!!!

Well, if it's not today, then it will be fairly soon. I know it's hard waiting (I went over with all three of my kids), but remember that baby will come when s/he's good and ready...this really is something worth waiting for. :)

It's funny - in our family, we like to be punctual!

My sister had both her daughters right on their due date! I had Eileen one day before and Rhiannon one day before. The boys don't count - they were nine weeks early!

My next doctor's appointment is at 12:10pm. Hopefully he will check me then. Let's see, if something moved from last week, when I was considered 80% effaced and not soft or dilated, until today. Maybe I'm so far along, that they will keep me right away. :lol: Wouldn't that be cool!?! On the other hand, since I apparently don't have contractions yet, I don't want to be induced, just because they keep me and want to get things going <_< . And technically, if nothing's wrong, he can stay in there about two weeks longer, what I don't really want, but you never know :( .

Good luck at the doctor today--we'll be waitin to hear!

My first was 3 weeks late :o They planned to induce on Monday--he showed up on Saturday. With the first, you never know....

Don't worry, Stef, they won't induce you just because you've dilated a lot. They'll let you walk around at 8 cm so long as your water hasn't broken. Maybe an exam will get things moving along for you. Also, just because you don't feel contractions doesn't mean you aren't having any. With my first I was having contractions and I had no clue. They were very surprised that I couldn't feel them.

I'll be waiting to hear how the appointment goes Stef. :D

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      Bitters for digestion?

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
