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

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
