How far along are you? (please include EDD if you are new here)

How are you feeling?

Any big changes this week?

Do you have any appointment updates or news?

Do you need any T&Ps for anything?

QOTW: So, this week has been really hectic and stressful. As a result, I didn't take care of myself and got a cold. Now I need to take it easy. So, what do you do when you need to relax? (i.e. read a book, take a walk, take a bath, ect.)

How far along? 17 weeks! Baby is the size of an onion!!

How are you feeling? Pretty good i have been sleeping better these past few nights which has helped my headaches!

Any big changes this week? Just hard to believe i am 17 weeks already!

Appointment updates? Next friday 4/11 is a/s I am so excited!

T&P? None this week

QOTW? To relax I usually like to listen to music its always christian and helps me refocus my mind

@maydaygirl590‌ hope you feel better soon. Is it next week you want me to start or week after that?

chknma

@maydaygirl590  hope you feel better!!!!!

How far along are you? 35 weeks

How are you feeling? drained. I posted yesterday about some issues I'm having with low fluid related to my GD. Led to an emotional day and then I didn't sleep so well last night. Trying to stay positive and do what I can until my follow-up appointment tomorrow.

Any big changes this week?
Baby measuring about 6 lbs already! whoa!

Do you have any appointment updates or news?
Had a MFM appointment yesterday due to starting meds for my GD. My fluid levels are low and the MD freaked me out about hospitalization and induction. I have a MW appointment today and a follow-up MFM appointment tomorrow. Just chugging my water and trying not to stress too much.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything?
would love some T&P that all this water will help boost my fluid. I can't even begin to wrap my head around having this baby any time soon.

QOTW: Although I talk to patients about self care all the time, I struggle in this area. There is always someone/something that I seem to prioritize above myself. I've really been trying to keep up with yoga at least once a week. I find it to be good for my body and mind. Since this is our second LO, there isn't as much focus with DH and family/friends on me being pregnant and all the new exciting things that came up with #1. It's nice to connect with other moms. We spend time in the beginning of each class talking about our joys and concerns and often will chat for a few minutes afterward. Plus it really helps with all my aches and pains!!

How far along are you? 31 weeks

How are you feeling?  Feeling good!  Tired at night and anxiety comes and goes.

Any big changes this week?  How is it possible I am fourth from the top of this list!!??

Do you have any appointment updates or news?  Now appt this week.  Start weekly appts next week.

QOTW: So, this week has been really hectic and stressful. As a result, I didn't take care of myself and got a cold. Now I need to take it easy. So, what do you do when you need to relax? (i.e. read a book, take a walk, take a bath, ect.)  I would love to go walk when I am stressed or just veg out on the couch, but with a 2 year old it's more likely going to be going to bed right after him that is my stress relief.

How far along are you?
27 weeks. I'm declaring 3rd tri!

How are you feeling?
Great! Energy is up and I'm eating regularly. I feel big, but not in a bad way.

Any big changes this week?
Yesterday was the anniversary of my loss. I was so insanely busy that I made it through much better than expected. Anabelle was also super active like never before. Coincidence or her giving me a sign?

Do you have any appointment updates or news?
I saw the cardiologist on Tuesday. EKG came back perfect. BP was low so I was prescribed a bottle of Gatorade daily for the electrolytes. I'll take it! Echocardiogram in 2 weeks as a precaution because of family history.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything?
Nope

I get massages and recently the yoga is really helping. I watch an old movie sometimes. I'm not good at this lol. I need to do more.

@maydaygirl590 - I hope you feel better soon!
@chknma - sending you fluid booting thoughts!
@MrsWallick - congrats on 3rd tri!

How far along are you? 39 weeks. OMG I am the top of the list. How the hell did that happen.

How are you feeling? Better! I mean, I am large and uncomfortable, but normal 9 months pregnant uncomfortable. Sciatic pain is still basically gone! And I have my heartburn under control with Zantac. This might be the best I have felt my entire pregnancy.

Any big changes this week? Biggest change is my anxiety. It's getting worse. I find myself prodding baby all the time, and pulling out my doppler quite a bit.

Do you have any appointment updates or news? Next appointment is Monday morning. That will be my first cervical check.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? Not really. My stress level really peaked last week but all your thoughts/prayers/advice helped. I am feeling more in control (and nothing else crazy has happened).

(i.e. read a book, take a walk, take a bath, ect.) I relax by taking a bath and/or reading. I used to run, so I can't wait to get back to that.

Sorry I'm late getting to this! I forgot I had a dentist appointment yesterday, and then I had to go grocery shopping. I'm paying for it all today, but enough about me....

@MrsHamon09- I'll run it next week and then it's all yours! (unless I go into labor). So that would be 4/17.  Yay for getting some sleep and that headaches are calming down. Prayers that you have a great a/s next week! 

@chknma- prayers that your appointment goes well today! I'm so sorry about the scares. 

@MrsWallick- Happy 3rd tri! So glad to hear your feeling great! Yay that your cardiologist appointment was a good one! What great news that all you need to take is gatorade.

@kathleensam- I'm so happy for you to hear that the sciatic is gone and the heartburn is under control! Prayers that your appointment goes well Monday!
