I didn't see this yet, so thought I'd get it started...
Weeks/EDD: 33 weeks/ Nov. 18th (assuming my irritable uterus stays in check)
Symptoms: feeling baby move a lot the last few days which I love; still having contractions but procardia is helping a lot. Painful to walk sometimes due to said contractions, and esp get in and out of bed the 5 times a night I pee.
Updates/AW/Appointments: Had appt yesterday which I updated about and got taken off bedrest. Follow up again on Monday to make sure no further dilation (1cm already). At last appt LO's HR was 133 which is the lowest it's been. Either it's a boy or the procardia is affecting baby's heart rate too? :-/
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween) I love all the candy, but right now I'm on a Reese's peanut butter cup kick
Weeks/EDD: 34 weeks, 11/11 but they are saying I'll deliver "during week 37". YIKES.
Symptoms: BH, peeing all the time (especially at night), can't sleep/get comfortable, just generally "over it".
Updates/AW/Appointments: NSTs twice/week now. I don't mind this appointment so much. Sitting in a big comfy chair, listening to LO's HB, and playing on my iPad ain't so bad.
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween) Anything reeses, but I've been digging twix lately!
Updates/appointments/AW: Still seeing a specialist each Friday for little girl's irregular heartbeat. She was normal again on Friday but he still wants to see me just to be safe. My regular OB went well.
GTKY: Reese's Peanut Buttercups and Twix; too bad specialist said to avoid chocolate until I deliver incase the caffeine in the chocolate is causing the irregular heartbeats in little girl.
Weeks/EDD: 11/18 - 33 weeks! Symptoms: Stupid contractions (aka irritable uterus), heart burn, increased appetite Updates/AW/Appointments: I have my weekly appointment tomorrow which honestly, I'm not even that excited about. In the past week, I've been in the doctor's office 5 times. Tomorrow makes 6 plus the trip to L&D. I've been hooked up to the NST so many times I've lost count...it's losing it's "fun factor" GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween) Definitely Reese's Pumpkins! A close second is Peanut Butter M&Ms. I love anything with chocolate and peanut butter.
ETA: I posted my response before reading everyone else's. Seems we have a lot of Reese's lovers here!
Weeks/EDD: 11/18 - 33 weeks, although baby girl is measuring 34 weeks! Symptoms: Acid reflux, general discomfort moving around and trouble finding a good sleeping position (I just can't make my snoogle work) Updates/AW/Appointments: We had a sono today and it went well. As mentioned above, baby has been consistently measuring a week ahead. And today they said she weighs about 5lbs! Holy chunkster! I could be looking at a 8.5lb baby, lord help me!
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween): I love all the chocolate candy: kit kat, reeses, and twix are my favorite halloween candy. I also dig dark chocolate!
bmoonstar), feet are swelling more by the end of the day, just general discomfort.
Updates/AW/Appointments: We almost finished decorating our nursery this past weekend, getting close to choosing a pediatrician, and I scheduled a meeting with a lawyer next week to talk about financial planning and wills. Also AW I have a work shower tomorrow! Next appointment is next week and I'll be on the weekly schedule then.
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween): Definitely chocolate, specifically Reese's and Kit Kats. "Fancy" chocolate too, there are some really good chocolatiers around here.
TTC since Sept 2011, Unexplained IF Oct 12 - Jan 14: 3 clomid/TI cycles, 2 hysteroscopies, 2 IUIs, 1 BFP (MMC @ 12w), 2 more IUIs Feb 14: Gonal-f + IUI #5 = BFP! (EDD 11/4/14) Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
Weeks/EDD: 11/11 - 34 weeks. Symptoms: Reflux that now defies Zantac and Tums. Still the same ol' shit otherwise. Updates/AW/Appointments: NST went fine I guess. They ran out of paper so I had to stay a little longer after the feed was changed, and then she kept rolling away from the heart monitor... but they saw what they needed to. Shower this weekend!
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween): I'm not really a fan of candy, which is funny because I went trick-or-treating every year and loved it. I will occasionally indulge in dark chocolate or glazed sesame seeds. I'll also hop on the Reeses train! I do enjoy a handful of Reeses Pieces with popcorn at the movies.
Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting are back, acid reflux, back pain, sciatica pain, vaginal pain, can't get comfortable at night to save my life, peeing constantly, hemorrhoid, braxton hicks, constipation, LO is kicking so hard now he can knock things off my belly which is amusing.
Updates/AW/Appointments: Taken of bed rest due finally getting a negative FNN test but have decided not return to work before delivery due to the extreme back pain (had herniated disks and sciatica before getting pregnant) and lack of sleep. Excited for our next ultrasound at 34 weeks on 10/13/2014!
GTKY: favorite candy (in honor of Halloween) Favorite Halloween candy is the Mary Jane peanut butter taffy.
