Re: End of the month-ers check-in!

  • When are you due? 3/29, RCS is 3/26

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Not going to lie, I'm in pain. My back has been hurting for weeks now. Just in the past few days I have been feeling more pressure on my cervix so that's a pleasant feeling, ha.  I am constipated and this morning I sat on the toilet and cried, ugh geez.

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?  I am really starting to freak out about being a mom of 2. 2!! I am concerned about how DD will react, will she be ok? will she be mad? will she act out? I'm starting to get emotional about it.

  • When are you due? 3/28

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Ok. Some days are good, others are not great. I'm always sore somewhere, lol. But for the most part I'm doing ok. I've gotten used to the fact that I just have a lot of BH's, but they are starting to get more uncomfortable for sure.

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?  Definitely having VBAC anxiety. I want a VBAC really badly, but am worried about the risks. my ob won't let me go past 40 weeks, If I get there it's a RCS. Which is fine, I will assume it's just meant to be. I just hope a vbac is the right choice if I go into labor on my own!

  • Due 23rd

    Feeling pretty good other than finishing up the nursery is so hard when you drop everything and picking it up is killer!!! Still have some hip pain, but he is definitely getting lower and I know pressure is progress!

    Thinking I'm going to have to drop one of my classes this semester. I am already having trouble keeping up with my two other LOs plus Dr appts and all that there is to do around the house.

    I am ready for little man to be here, but I am also scared to death 2u2 is becoming so scary to really think about everyday! At least DH has a week off when LO is born so he can help our DD transition into being a big sister.
  • Due March 25th - and I'm getting a bit anxious about giving birth.  I wasn't up til now - I figured it was going to happen an no amount of worrying was going to have any impact - so why worry!   But I've been up and down emotionally the last few days, so I guess I am anxious.    Not much to do to get ready - I need to wash the baby stuff I have, but we're looking for a new house so we're not setting up a nursery in our current one (baby will sleep in bassinet in our room).  Also - I am tired and sore by the end of the day.  What do you ladies do to keep occupied and not descend into crazy land??
  • I'm due the 29th which feels like FOREVER away! I have been dealing with some pain under my right rib for a few days so I am going in to the doc today to get it checked out... They want to be sure nothing is wrong with my gallbladder :(. It feels a lot better today after spending all day yesterday off my feet so i am hoping it was just bruising from LO repeatedly kicking me in the same spot all day Sunday. I really started feeling cervix pressure last night, so not fun! But other than those minor complaints I am just impatient! Part of me wishes I hadn't been so proactive getting stuff ready. Now I have nothing left to do but twiddle my thumbs before baby arrives!

  • When are you due?
    March 28

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? I am swollen, very uncomfortable and tired all the time! Also just mentally exhausted after the past few weeks of doctors appts

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns? I am very worried about something happening to our LO this far along. The baby is measuring large for gestational age at the 98th percentile
    And my fluid levels are high so they are now sending me
    For weekly nst tests and having me monitor him at home for movement and I'm driving myself crazy. The doctor said they will most likely schedule me for a 39
    Week c section bc of his size and I hate that. But as long as he is healthy that's all that matters!

    Hope you all are doing good!
  • When are you due? 3/31

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically, I have been having so many BH and so much lightning crotch it's insane.  My OB isn't concerned, but ugh...I wish they were more definitive signs of things!  Emotionally, I'm ok - the occasional freak out from time to time.  

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns? I want to be done working so badly.  I need to make it until 3/7, which is the end of the trimester, because I can always do their report cards from home.  I am in the process of trying to claim about 10 weeks of service time that I never claimed, and if I can do that then I think I can get the equivalent of my full year of teaching service, which would help tons.  The agreement DH and I made is so long as I can make this year a full year between my sick days and prior service time, I can stop when I want.  Which I think is going to be sooner rather than later, due to the long commute, exhaustion,  and swelling.

  • When are you due? 3/26

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically not doing too bad most days. I hurt the most right before bed and changing positions in bed, or if I've been on my feet for a long time during the day. DH says I'm an awesome pregnant person because I'm almost 100% normal in terms of what I'm doing physically and how I am emotionally but I have to remind him that's all fine and well but I am still EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND NEED HELP SO PICK YOUR CRAP OFF THE FLOOR WILL YOU?
     
    Also still need to finish packing the hospital bag, and getting nervous bc tomorrow is when I had my csection at 36w w/ DD due to HELLP - getting monitored pretty regularly so hoping the rest of the pregnancy is smooth sailing and I can get the VBAC I want.

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?
    So close but so far away! I don't mind staying pregnant for the next 4 (or more) weeks, but also anxious/excited to see how my delivery goes, and moreso just ready to be done with work, even though I have no medical reason to be out, and want to save all my PTO for actually being home with baby :(

  • When are you due? March 24

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? I just feel uncomfortable ! NOTHING fits and my swelling is terrible and has progressed all the way up to my knee cap !! And yesterday my back was killing me to the point of I though I may have been in the early stages of labor. It was soooo intense.  

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns? The painters painted the babys room the wrong color yesterday , it made me sad/mad bc I want to start decorating her room so I don't feel sooo behind ! All you ladies make me feel like such a procrastinator !

  • Due 3/26... RCS scheduled for 3/19 Feeling awful! I caught DH's man-cold. Other than that... Just exhausted, both physically and mentally. I'm tired of doctors-- the ob, MFM, nutritionist, hematologist, etc. I'm nervous about Thursday's iron IV. And I'm nowhere near ready to bring a baby home since the house is a mess!
  • When are you due?
    The 31st

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    Feeling great actually! Kinda has me worried lol I have been sleeping like a champ, aches and pains are gone, and I have finally stopped feeling nothing but stabby towards H!

    Hah, similar boat. I've been so fine and normal all pregnancy that I think sometimes he doesn't believe me when I tell him, "I am legit too tired to clean the kitchen right now because my 9-months-pregnant self just worked all day and then made dinner. YOU need to clean the kitchen." He gives me the side-eye like I'm malingering!

  • When are you due?  March 27... but I have this feeling he will come earlier than that!
    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? I feel bad complaining because I've had such an easy pregnancy so far, but I definitely can feel it when I overdo things a bit.  Luckily, I'm in a job where I sit for the majority of the day... I don't know how the ladies that stand/walk all day can do it!
    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?I am so anxious about getting caught up at work before going into labor.  I try to get stuff done every day, but it seems like more gets dumped on top of me for everything that I DO get done. And the whole labor thing... and the whole not getting sleep thing! 
  • I'm due 3/30, so just barely ahead of poor @saisongbird.

    I'm feeling fairly decent, considering all the crap DH and I have gone through lately with trying to find a new place, me being out of work already (not by choice), and him still being in school for a few more months. I have a burning spot on top of my belly that feels like I have a fever, but it's only over a few inches, and I can't figure out what it is... Emotionally, I'm alright most days. I just tend to freak myself out a lot and then the waterworks get started, and I could go for days being an emotional wreck. Poor DH has no idea how to handle it, and it makes him feel bad because he doesn't know how to make me feel better lol

    Besides the weird spot on my belly that burns whenever I move or anything touches it, the only thing that's really bothering me is how my OB will react to being told I'm declining the cervical checks simply because there's no reason in my mind I should get them, and I'm a wimp when it comes to pain. And ANYTHING my doc does down in my lady bits hurts these days. Hell, anything I or MH do down there hurts! Eff that crap. >___>

  • Hey ladies...all of these outside babies are making me impatient!

    When are you due?  March 22

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?  Physically I am exhausted and miserable because of this cold.  I am so congested and so desperately need to sleep.  This morning I had what I think were braxton hicks for the first time (that I know of) and I feel very big and sluggish, but if it weren't for this cold I would feel a lot better.  Emotionally I don't feel ready for her to come, but I know if she were to come tomorrow I would be cool with it.  Last week in L&D I was surprisingly ok with it is she came then.  But I'm also cool with her baking till induction.

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns?  I get my cerclage out today!  And I have a growth scan for the first time since December.  I really hope she isn't huge.

  • EDD 3/28

    Physically- I hit a wall at 33-34wks and I was MISERABLE, but I think I have a second wind and I'm doing better at the 35-36wk point. I'm still working out which I think has helped with some of the common discomforts of pregnancy. My crotch is swollen- like it looks I've gained 2 pounds just in that region  
    :\">

    Emotionally and Mentally- I feel like I'm just going through the motions. Not only am I going to have a baby in a month, my son is turning 2. I feel like I spend everyday wishing time away because I'm so tired of being pregnant. And that makes me sad, I was not at all impatient when pregnant with my son. This time, I'm like pulling my hair out some days. We will be moving soon so no nursery is set up and we have everything we need and the second time it just feels like, 'here we go again!' I'm just excited for her to get here, trying to stay peaceful and positive, during the wait. 

    I guess my biggest concern is that we live far from family, my husband is getting his MBA and we have no one to watch our son when I go into labor. I can't decide if we bring him with or if I should ask someone we know (which is tough because we aren't super close to anyone, and most people I know have children of their own, and can't really drop everything at the ready). Something tells me it will all work out, but I have fears about it. 
  • When are you due? March 30

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? I feel lucky to have had a very easy pregnancy. However, I think some of the not fun things people have been mentioning are coming soon. I also am so over working! I can't believe I still have like 5 weeks left.

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns? My childbirth class has been so pointless and I think we might skip class 3 of the 3 part series tomorrow. I just don't see what we can learn that isn't in the book they gave us. I am also starting to think I might want to go med free. I guess I should start reading up on some techniques!

  • When are you due? 3/21

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Physically - I am getting very sore in my back, my stomach is getting very heavy.  Emotionally - I'm pretty weepy and getting annoyed a lot easier, however, I haven't had any meltdowns yet. Mentally - I'm okay.  I don't mind being pregnant and I don't have too much fear around labor and delivery.  My biggest fear comes because I am crazy and started googling things about induction and now I'm terrified (specifically of cytotec).  If anyone would like to calm me down, I will take any and all forms of advice, including tough love. 

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns? Just a comment -- it's really hard to be a Type A person and not have any idea when your coming.  My OB told me today that I'm an "ideal candidate" to go to 42 weeks if needed - meaning I could have an April baby.  Wish I just knew now if that was the case ... Oh well, that's the beauty of pregnancy, right? ;)

    We have this same problem with our 2 kids. All we have is BSC mil to watch our kids and they don't like going to her house. It's so frustrating!
  • When are you due?

    3/23

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?

    Physically not great not horrible.  Aches and pains and some infrequent contractions.  I guess I make a face when the contraction hits, cause MH keeps asking me what is wrong and doesn't believe me when I say nothing.

    Emotionally and mentally I am having a rough time, but it is work related mostly.  Although my shop is busy we have taken on more overhead (employees) and managing cash flow and payroll has been difficult.  Meaning that MH and I are not taking our regular pay which is stressing me out.  We knew growth would be painful, but it is just tough when it is all on us.  This leads to the "what the hell were we thinking" mentality.  In addition, our home reno's are a bit over budget due to structural issues we found, so things won't be done that we wanted to get done before LO.  Oh well, we will survive.  There is food on the table and a roof over our heads (although said roof needs to be replaced).

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?

    I think I whined enough above.
  • When are you due? 3/23

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    Feeling okay. Tired and a little anxious (more on that below) but okay.

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?
    When I went in for my appointment Friday my doc found a mild arrhythmia (baby's heart is skipping a beat every so often). I have a level 2 ultrasound today and regular NSTs for the duration. I am trying not to be worried (I understand this can happen. In fact, I hear it's fairly common) but it's hard to not to be a little concerned.

    Also, like many of you, worried about DD and her adjustment. She's going to be an awesome big sister but she's been an only for 3 years and I know this is going to be hard on her at times.

    Finally, our child care for DD while I'm in labor looks like a decision tree (If she's at day care, then...if it's a weekend, then...if it's the middle of the night, then...) and I'm mildly concerned that there's a scenario I haven't considered...

    Thanks @saisongbird for posting this!

Honestly? Horrible all around. I have SPD and it has been hard to walk for months now. DD2 turned 3 in December and has been transformed into a crazy person. I was nervous about having 3 before but now with this gremlin living in my house I can't imagine bringing a newborn home. It has also caused issues with DH and I as to how we react to her. I'm just so tired in every sense of he word! Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns? Mostly just the issues with DD2 and how she will cope with becoming the middle child. Fortunately my almost 6 year old is very helpful and mature. I am so thankful for her. I have so much to do to get ready for #3 her room is only half painted and everything is stuffed in the middle of her room with bags piled in her crib. I wish DH would get on the ball... frusturated

  • I am due March 29

    Yesterday Baby moved back up, or as much as she can. Which makes it so much easier to get around and i feel like I have a ton more energy-but then I get the horrible heart burn again and food just wont stay down.

    I felt like we were making progress, but now I feel like I am back to stage one. Sleeping is just not happening, and my dogs feel badly for me so they try to snuggle in the middle of the night. Which is super sweet, but then keeps me up too.

    My knees and the areas around them are super swollen. But nothing else. SO weird. I look like a walking elephant now in all my stretchy pants-which of course is the only thing wearable at this point. I could really use a good strong nap or strong cup of joe. If I have coffee though I will be a punching bag for a good hour. Not worth it.

    We are pretty much done with the nursery, my bag is pretty much packed, car seats are installed. We are ready, now I just get to wait.

    Oh and DH still doesn't get that being 9 months pregnant trumps everything else. I have been ok since the first tri puking stopped, for the most part. So I feel like I need to arbitrarily throw a tantrum or something to remind him that im keeping the crazy under control, but keep him on his toes...

  • It would be so amazing if hospitals had 24 hour childcare center… one can wish!
  • So glad for this check in! I feel for all of you guys!!

    When are you due?
    3/30

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    Physically tired, sore, and a lot of what I think are BHs. Work is killing me and I really don't get along with one of my coworkers which is getting worse by the day.
    Emotionally having a lot of probably-irrational anxieties that I won't even mention. Also uncertain about returning to work/financial situation.

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns?
    Just can't believe that as a FTM, if I go late, I still have the whole month of March to get through!!

  • Due March 28th. 31 days left until EDD!

    I'm feeling...meh. I feel super sore in the mornings & evenings. But during the day I can get around just fine. I'm getting anxious about everything we need to get sorted out and finished/fixed before homegirl makes her appearance. (Basement remodel, bathroom remodel, putting the nursery together, dealing with the Red Sea of laundry on my floor..)

    I think my subconscious is getting really nervous/anxious about getting "checked" & my GBS test that are coming up. Last night I had a dream in which my Mom & 14 year old little sister attended my appointment with me, but then my OB left the room and sent in an inmate in an orange jumpsuit & apron to perform the swab. He tried to bribe me to go ahea with the procedure with the fact that he would rub bronzer down there and I would come out "glowing." ...WTF subconscious. Pregnancy dreams be cray.

  • I'm due 3/23.

    I'm mostly ok, with no big issues. I've been more emotional lately. I was buying a birthday card for my min yesterday, and I started crying in the store because I found one that said even though I'm grown up I will always need her. That's so not me to get mushy over a card!

    Physically, my hips hurt and moving in bed is difficult. My ankles get horribly swollen by the end of the day. I seem to be alternating a night of good sleep with a night of insomnia, so I'm not looking forward to tonight.

    Mentally, I'm stressed because the house is a mess and because I don't know what is going on with my job. I want MH to clean and I want HR to get its act together!
  • Due 3/30 - seems like there are several of us! 

    Feeling pretty miserable most days to be honest. Out of all three pregnancies, this one has definitely been the most tough and I've had even more of the odd and unwelcome pregnancy symptoms this time around which isn't fun. Swelling is at an all time high so my legs are unrecognizable and it hurts to move. My belly is massive and I'm not sure how it can get much larger. I didn't get any stretch marks with DD1 and just one with DD2 - this time is a whole different story. I'm at the stage of constant strong BH and crotch-shots too so I'm just uncomfortable. Luckily it seems like the baby is growing well (large in fact) and is healthy as noticed by all the very forceful movements I get all day and night long.  

    I'm really ready to be a point where I'm "ready."  I'm swamped at work right now and people keep giving me new projects as if they can't tell I'm about to pop! My poor assistant would be lost if I went into labor early! And my mom and sister decided it was a good idea to host a surprise party for my dad next weekend when I'm 37 weeks pregnant down in my hometown 2 1/2 hours away - so I'm freaking out about having to help with all of that while working 45 hours a week and taking care of two other LOs. I know I have to have things ready by then and have stuff in the car in case I go into labor so I'm freaked out.. but my family doesn't care at all. 

    OK, I'm sorry! I'm just venting at this point. I'm so overwhelmed and really want to skip the next few weeks and just be ready for this little one!

    @mcfife09 . My crotch is swollen- like it looks I've gained 2 pounds just in that region

    Yes! Me too. It's a little depressing.

    My due date is 3/22. So I think I can be in this club.

    Really kind of hit a wall the last few days. I have been doing great throughout this entire pregnancy and now I just want to be done and meet our baby soon. Definitely going to being trying some natural induction methods in the next few weeks but I really feel like this baby doesn't want to come out any time soon.
    Like someone else said I am just counting down the days and wishing time would go faster.
    I also really love my midwives and the hospital where I will be delivering and am oddly excited to go into labor and do this thing.
    Feeling larger and larger everyday and it's getting harder to work. So glad my last day is march 12 and I am now training in my replacement! Yay!

  • When are you due?
    3/30

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    physically things are getting more and more difficult. I hate asking for help but I'm starting to have too.
    Emotionally I'm doing ok.
    Mentally I feel numb. Am I really having another baby!?! Lol

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns?
    I feel so guilty for having another baby when DS is perfect. I don't want him to feel like he wasn't enough so we had another one. That isn't true and he won't feel that way but I can't help it.
  • When are you due? March 24

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally? Actually feeling pretty good.  Things are going great.  I hate my job a little more every day, but that is it.

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns? Not really.

  • Due 3/26

    Like most everyone, I feel okay. Physically I feel a lot of pelvic pressure. Went to the dr today and she confirmed baby is very low. My son was low too, so I guess that's just how I carry. He's 20 months and it's getting hard and painful to carry him or sit with him on the floor. Emotionally I feel better (in this moment at least) than I did the last couple of weeks. I think it's because I can finally start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I'm also nervous about having 2u2, especially the whole sleep thing. I'm weirdly excited to go into labor. I had a great experience the first time, so I'm hoping for something similar this time. I had what will probably be my last ultrasound today (she's been measuring small so they have been checking her growtth) and she's definitely grown, so I'm happy about that!

  • When are you due? April 1, sooo far away!

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    Today i finally feel a little better, but for the past week I have been DUNZO!  I know he needs to cook as long as possible but I was starting to think an early baby wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Which immediately made me feel guilty.  Yesterday I felt  a bit like my insides were being torn apart, which made me cry all night long.  Thank goodness DH is a saint! 
    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns?
    I think I tore a muscle near my belly button, and the pain is pretty unbearable. I can't imagine pushing if it still hurts this much. I have a doctors appointment tonight and I need to see what he says about it.  Right now, I am good, but an hour ago I coughed and thought I might DIE from the pain.
  • Due Date: March 21

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    I'm taking the approach that this is a great adventure and am trying to look at the lighter side of things. Boobs leaking? Lightning crotch? 2am dance parties in my uterus? I laugh at you! If I didn't, I'd be crying about how unprepared we seem to be...wah!

    Anything else you want to talk about?  Questions, comments, concerns?
    It's not even March and I know baby is going to grow more, but I don't know where she's going to go! I think she's already pushed all of my nonessential organs out of the way. Now it's on to intestinal origami.

    Also I've noticed that I'm getting mush brain again, just in time to transition my projects at work. I hope they can figure out what I'm talking about. I'm not sure half of the time!

    Thanks, @saisongbird!

    March 21

    How are you feeling - physically/emotionally/mentally?
    I am over being pregnant. I had a breakdown Sunday, I don't want to push this baby out but I don't want to be pregnant anymore. Poor DH. Physically, I'm tired, sore, and experiencing sharp pain in my right side. Yucky!

    Anything else you want to talk about? Questions, comments, concerns?
    I hope I'm not the only one who is terrified of L&D!
