Today when me, my husband and our daughter went to doctor to have our son's feet looked at. It was something different we haven't seen this doctor in 16.5 months since we've had our daughter. He is the high risk doctor that works on certain case with my main doctor. The doctor is at the birthing center and my doctors office is right next store in a different building. Walking in there I almost started crying, it's the first time we've walked in since the day we left with our daughter after she born. Your probably trying to fiuger out why would I would be crying. Brings back those memories from a year ago being in labor, having our daughter, leaving with her in a 2 door sports car now a year later coming back for another baby in a 4 door family car, with a toddler in toe and I'm like damn how fast this pregnancy has went and it's almost over. I want it be over but at the same time I don't want it to be over. But in a few weeks there will be another baby in the house and it'll be back to doing the same old things with feeding, and diaper changes ever few hours. I never know when the end is the pregnancy will be. I know what my due date is but since the same things are happening with this baby I just get to wait and see. I never know when I go to the doctor if that is going to be the last visit or not after today. Hopefully I can make it to 36 weeks that was my goal last time and it didn't happen.

My first baby was a high risk baby and I remember being afraid of all the unknowns. Thankfully, all went well. In some ways this helped prepare me for my other babies when they came, but also I had new worries precisely because I knew what to expect, especially all that would need to be done after the babies were born.

Either of my babies are really high risk it's just that the growth they just stop growing out of now where and they don't know why. They will be growing and growing like normal and then the next thing you know nothing for weeks or days. Both are healthy and fine just means that in each pregnancy I have after having my daughter means that I have to be watched closely. I always tell people you never know what will happen you just need to relax. I feel I"m in good hands and as long as they are not worried I"m not worried. I'm not worried about my son I wasn't even worried about my daughter I just knew things would be okay. I have faith that my son will be okay. I just go day by day. but i never know when the ride will be over know that I"m in the third trimester.

So sad to hear that, you are worrying too much about the baby. I cannot relate much but I know the feeling of loosing your very own child.. I know someone who suffered the same but things are everything ok now with their kids. I hope everything will be ok with you and the baby. You can reach your goal hang on there.

I never said I was worried. I"m not worried about my unborn son. I said it's no surprise to us that he is on the small side and that they want to see me more often now that it's the end of my pregnancy. The same thing happened in my first pregnancy and I wasn't worried then either. I never lost a child no where did I ever say that above. My daughter was born at 35 weeks healthy as can be had no issues with anything medical with her. She is now 16.5 months old's I was crying because of those happy memories of when we left the hospital with a new little baby and that pretty soon we will be doing it all over again. I hope to reach my goal to 36 weeks but most likely I probably won't. It'll all depend on my son's size he is a little bit bigger then my daughter was at this point in the pregnancy but not by much. She was a 4lbs 7oz at birth and her cousin he was a full term baby and he weight in at 4lbs 9ozs. In general I'll probably always have smaller then what doctors want. It just means I'll be seen more often and probably at the end of pregnancy been seen my a high risk doctor. I wasn't sent over this time for small baby it was his feet that my doctor wasn't to sure about because she doesn't deal that kind of stuff so she wanted a second look done by a better tech that has a better ultrasound tech. The tech said that yes his feet was indeed inwards more then normal but it's probably just the way he is laying inside of me but they will have a better idea after he is born. But over all he will not need any surgery to correct it since the bones in his feet and legs are fine. Which I've said in another discussion before this one. I was just crying because this pregnancy is almost over with. I'm at 26 weeks 1 day now and this hole pregnancy has gone by pretty quick unlike in my first one it was slow probably because I had nothing to do and now I have one child that I take care of all day long by myself while my husband is at work. Toddlers can be a handful and sitting still is not on there agenda.

I think I can relate how you feel as a mother, moreover you have another child coming on his way. Even now after 3 years, back looking at my new born then, now a cheeky toddler, I feel like crying too thinking how time flies, and how fast a child has grown. I teared when I first saw my girl performing on stage last year...

See I don't cry over that at all. It wasn't seeing my daughter or her being there or anything. Yeah she is a toddler but that wasn't way I was crying. I was just crying because of the fact that this pregnancy went faster then my last one and before I know it I"ll have two kids to deal with and not just one any more. Time for my daughter has gone by pretty normal not slow but not fast either.

First thing first, congratulation on your next baby, and you might need to worry, since you already had a couple of experience by giving births. Now, you are back again, it would be logical that you want to cry because your daughter and son are both big right now. Now, another baby on his/her way, that is amazing. Hopefully you can post their picture here after this baby is birth.

Why would I worry every pregnancy is different no two pregnancy are every the same. I haven't had a couple. I"ve had one pregnancy before this one, so that is only two which isn't even a few. My daughter and son are not big they are far from big. My daughter was a small baby she had to be delievered early by induction at 35 weeks because she just stop growing nothing was wrong with her or me to cause this to happen. I just happens some times where baby's just stop growing so it's better to deliver them early then to wait because they will do better once born. Now yes the same thing might be happening now but enither the high risk doctor or my doctor are worried. I wasn't going to the high risk doctor this time for growth issues at all. Last time I was. This time was because my son has inward feet which all babies have but they are turn inward more then normal. They said that it was probably nothing just the way he is laying and if his feet are still to inward after birth that it wouldn't be any major problems it'll be an easy fix like boots, which is what my husband had as a child. So you read the post wrong. I never said I had two kids already I only said I had one and that I was having another. because if I had more then one already I would have mentioned the other child's age. I just have one just my daughter and now I"ll be having a boy in September. I wasn't crying because my daughter is getting bigger it doesn't bother me that my daughter will be two pretty soon. It doesn't make me cry. Like I said above what I was crying about was the memories of being there last time since the last time I was there was when my daughter was born and I hadn't been back in there since the day we left with my daughter after she was born.

Time flies so fast really and before you knew it your babies are all grown up. Same with my son who is actually turning two this Saturday. I feel the same way you do when I am rearranging his clothes in his closet. He used to be so small and just totally depend on us to survive but now he's turning two. I also get emotional when I saw him use his potty chair and declared his potty trained already.

It's not the time about my daughter that I'm talking about just the pregnancy it's just crazy to think back and go oh wow it wasn't that long ago I was here for a totally different child and now I'm here for my second its just like well surprise. I don't get emotional that easily, going through my daughters clothes or pictures and stuff it doesn't bother me. This year for her it's gone by pretty slow but not fast it was in between it wasn't like wow she is 1 now going on 5 just. It does feel like yesterday I just had her but that was because it was just a little bit over a year ago it doesn't seem that much time has gone by for my nephew at all.
