I have been bed-resting due to my placenta previa. And if not for mylot I would have been really bored doing nothing but lying down. But when I my tummy was smaller lying on my side or sometimes keeping my small laptop on top of my belly was okay. But now that my belly is getting bigger and more frequent false contractions it is much harder to type like that. I am at the second week of September. Scary! Haha.I could hardly even sit because the pressure goes down to much and it hurts. But I still get to mylot because I like it so much and it makes my day answering discussions. But I will still be here because I always miss it. It is 4 in the morning here and I could hardly go back to sleep. I get a chance to sit a little while typing now because it feels better at the moment. But in a while I really should be going back to lie down. It is always nice to be with you all. I'm always here thinking about all my friends here anyway. Good day.

Hi thetis74... my two cents, just be in a comforting position while using your laptop. But congrats you are managing it pretty well. You know friend, i used to work full time even 2 days before my second delivery. Do not worry for anything even if's going to be a C-session. Just take care of yourself and enjoy each moment of the last stage of pregnancy and welcome your baby with a big smile. I can understand the sleeping disorders and untimely hunger too...don't forget to talk a short walk...just for relaxing and to get rid of the swollen legs..Best of luck and my prayers are with you...

Thank you viju410. It is nice to see. I do walk. My little girls school is like 5 minutes walk from here. I know I just can't lie down the whole time. I just walk slowly and carefully knowing I need some exercise too. Unless I have placenta previa Grade 3 then maybe I won't be able to do that because I will be bleeding easily. But thanks to God that I never bled after the first one. I was also able to work a lot of my chores during my first child till the labor date came. And oh I am already smiling. And glad I don't have swollen legs too. I only gained a few weight. Best Regards.

Hi thetis.
I think you have to take a rest now. You are nearing your date of giving birth so take it easy and rest. Try to listen to soothing music that can relax your mind. Stop mylotting and concentrate in feeling good. You can just watch TV and simply lie there in your bed.
We shall be praying for the safe delivery of your baby.

Good luck with your bed resting. It is not long now until the birth of your baby so you have lots to look forward to. I am sorry to hear about the problem with the placenta. I wish you loads of good wishes for the birth of your baby naturally or with a c-section. In the last bit of pregnancy it is hard to have a laptop on your lap. My Lot is excellent and I know you will back on it soon after your baby is born.

I know how you feel, my 2nd daughter in law is passing through the same phase, her EDD is september 23rd, she gets tired easily..
You should take adequate rest, but NOT totally immobile.
Wish you give birth to a healthy baby, and let the delivery be normal too

You are all so kind and your words really does warm my heart. Mylotting is also like resting for me. I'd rather do this than do nothing making me inevitably think of a lot of things that might scare me. Haha. At least I get to communicate with you all and feel what you all have in your hearts that surely gives me more strength during that day. My warmest thanks to you. God bless you too. I will be happy for sure. Just looking at your yellow smiley already makes me happy.

thetis: Your age must be less than that of my son/daughter. Be positive. Pray to Your God. Always think of happy moments, good people, good deeds done by others to you and good deeds done by you to others. It is normally said that the child will be hearing all that you talk to others all that others talk to you.

thetis!
I salute your dedication and spirit to be on mylot despite your discomfort . I think you should exert yourself to such point, which does not start hurting your. Your health and baby's health is equally important and they come first than mylotting.

Thank you dear friend. You too, take care. I'm always praying. Legs are really getting tired and the mid body aches most of the times. It wasn't like this during my first pregnancy. It is just really bad this time. But it's okay because a little more time to go and it is over.

I do eat properly and very careful. I had painless bleeding once when the baby was 6 months. I was really busy anyway. I am just the type who works and works and works around the house that I could hardly get to sit until I am tired that sometimes I forget I am pregnant. But thanks to God I didn't have the bleeding since then anymore.

There are scores like you here and that includes me that have made myLot their second home. We have such freedom to pick and choose whatever acitivity that gives us joy. I hope you will read all the responses before being happily active elsewhere which could cloud your myLot presence!

Goodluck and be brave for your baby. I bet, your baby will be the smartest baby that will be born on that day. Your brain keeps on working during the time that the baby is developing in your tummy. I pray that both of you will be in good health and safe always.

We'll be thinking of you!
I hope that you and the baby will be OK. And we will understand if you will not be here a little longer while you get busy with taking care of the baby. But we hope that when you're ready, you'll be back with a lot more discussions (and I'm sure mostly will be about your baby!
).
Goodluck!

Goodluck!@thetis74 (1525)

Hahaha. Maybe some it. Thank you very much. I will also be thinking of you all too. Even when I am absent for a day to go to my parents I think of all of you here, because there we don't have internet. And the moment I arrive at night I just open up my laptop and see mylot. It is very good to be here with all of you. Take care.

I hope the birth is ok for you.I find some times being on here can be a bit painful, as it is sitting in the same position and no matter how hard we try we can not manage to sit in a different position to type, as it is really awkward.I am sure that you will be back on here again really soon, maybe in between feeds.

Oh I am always resting and it's tiring to be resting all the time. I do get to get up when my sister leaves me after everyday of helping me here. My mother is doing my laundry at the moment too. But I do wash the little things in the bathroom so she won't get too tired. Thank you jdex_143.
