*** Monday Bedrest Check-in ***

tracint

Hello ladies. It's Monday again. Hope everyone's having a great day so far!!

How did you sleep?

Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions?

Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?)

QOTD: In your opinion what is a reasonable amount of time before taking your newborn out in public (shopping, bday party, restaurants, etc). If you're a STM, how have your opinions changed since your first LO?

I slept ok, up just once but I've been having a hard time falling back asleep after I get up.

Still having some back pain and random cervix pain.  I saw my OB today and mentioned that, and he said it's likely due to starting activity again after being primarily on bed rest for awhile.  The baby is looking good, and we talked a little more about the cerclage removal on Thursday.  I'm getting pretty nervous about it, but trying to keep my mind off it for now. 

QOTD:  I think part of it depends on when they were born (gestationally and seasonally).  Since DD was a preemie and came home in February, we didn't really leave the house except for doctor's appointments for a few months.  Now, since I will be closer to term and the weather will be a litttle warmer, I guess maybe within a week or two?  At least for quick trips, I don't want to be cooped up inside any longer if I don't have to be.  I guess it depends on how we're feeling and what the weather's like.

Thank God my heartburn has calmed down somewhat but the spd pain is picking up:(

Today LO has been kinda quiet... at first I was a little worried but then I felt some movement, it's definitely not what is normal for her, it feels more like arms and legs rubbing the inside if my tummy instead of full out kicks and punches...

QOTD: I started thinking that a month was the least amount of time I wanted to wait before taking the baby out in public, but then I started thinking about all of the things I wanted to do once she's born... like @MissChanandlerBong‌ said I don't want to be stuck inside any longer than I have to be.
