GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately?
Re: Weekend Ticker Change 12/19 & 12/20
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feeling good and getting a big bump. I decided to wait until after Christmas to tell work and its a good thing its only a week away because I don't want to hide it anymore.
Upcoming appointments: Tuesday for OB check up and 1/7 for A/S
Questions for the Group: none at the moment
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? I have a reoccurring dream that I end up on the floor ( either fainted or voluntarily) and roll around in circle. Any dream interpreters know what this means?
Upcoming appt: January 4 anatomy scan
Rants/raves/symptoms: still a little more emotional like last week, nothing like a little holiday emotional instability. I've noticed movements are stronger at certain times of the day: right when I wake up, after lunch, and right before bed. I am growing by the minute.
GTKY: weird dreams every night. Last night steak knives, the night before I went off on our stupid receptionist. So aggressive...
Upcoming appt: not until Jan 28th, regular check up
Rants/raves/symptoms: still feeling pretty good and able to work out. Still have hip pain at night. I've been feeling her kick all day long. Love how it's getting stronger and stronger.
Questions for the group: not that I can think of
GTKY- weird dreams: I had a dream the other night that I had the baby and she was blonde hair and blue eyes (like DH as a child) but she had her ears pierced and I demanded to know who pierced them as soon as she was born. I also had no diaper bag or clothes for the baby and I was asking my grandma (who passed away 12 years ago) where the clothes were.
Upcoming appt: Had one on Thursday (It's a boy!) next one only end Jan.
Rants/Raves: Not pregnancy related - but the car wash broke my DH's carseat. Now it's booked in and we only have one vehicle for a while.
Raves - my Baby Furniture came and DH and his friend is in the next room assembling it!
GTKY: Yes, plenty of weird dreams and scary stuff too!! Nightmares which I never get!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: More emotional for sure and it's getting more uncomfortable to sleep. DH got me a pillow last week though so that's been helping out. Also we should find out the sex on Christmas!
Upcoming appointments: Anatomy scan next week!
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? I know I have been but I can never remember what they were exactly like 5 mins later. I never really dreamed before so it's weird to me.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feet starting to swell a bit, and swelling in my fingers occasionally!
Upcoming appointments: 12/31 for anatomy scan!
Questions for the Group: None for now
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Yes! DH seems to think that there are only boys in his family, and is convinced our LO is a boy. I had a dream that I had the baby, and it was a girl. DH held the baby up right in front of his face and looked RIGHT at the it and said "Are you sure?!" while inspecting the baby top to bottom.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Definitely beginning to get a bump! Pregnancy hormones have been ridiculous, everything makes me tear up. And the pregnancy brain...SO BAD! I feel completely worthless because I can't remember ANYTHING! I forgot to request out time for one of my client's so I emailed the PO and she put it in for me...then at 12:30 that night I was convinced I requested her out time only til 3:30pm and I needed it to be til 4:30pm so I emailed the PO again and was like "I'm so sorry, this pregnancy brain thing is making me useless, if it's too late to change it I'll get her back in time but if possible can you change it to 4:30pm blah blah blah." And the next morning she replied "You did ask for 4:30. Hahahaha!" I felt like a giant turd.
Upcoming appointments: none til January
Questions for the Group: Anyone else feel like they are completely losing their mind and can't remember anything?
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Rarely. The only pregnancy dreams I've had was actually day one of my pregnancy and it was a boy. We named him Brett...which isn't even a name on our radar in reality. Lol. The other was me going into labor at my mom's house and my husband left as soon as it started for a boys trip. My mom was my "nurse" which is terrifying. Maybe I had that one because I don't want her near me once I actually go into labor.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just getting more uncomfortable while trying to sleep. I'm feeling movement daily. Still battling the tail end of this cold. Nothing super exciting.
Upcoming appointments: next one is on the 29th
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Not that I remember. I did have a work nightmare the other night, it's been stressful at work and there have been exceptionally stupid mistakes being made (not by me). My default response is to laugh it off now.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm sooo thirsty constantly! I drink plenty of water but it's never enough. Still pretty emotional (as I have been this entire pregnancy). Other than that, sleeping is getting more uncomfortable. Best thing about this week is finding out I'll be having a little boy!!! I've been feeling him move everyday
Upcoming appointments: Dec. 30th
Questions for the Group: None
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Many! The latest was about being at work and clients would act super crazy and weird to me, but then act totally normal around my boss and co-workers, making me look like a bad insane worker haha.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: still nauseous, but I only threw up twice this week. I also felt the lightheadedness that I hear can be a fun part of the second tri. My emotional side is that I am quick to anger! I already apologized to my husband. I can't yell at the twins, so he's the easiest target.
Upcoming appointments: Dec 28th cervical length ultrasound and MFM appt, as well as OB appt. A/S is set for Jan. 11th! Bummed that DH won't be able to come to a/s
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Yes. All the time. Nightmares like terrorism shootings. Random dreams like climbing ropes in a gym (I had a hot spotter
Mama to Three Girls:
Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor
and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
I think my husband is scared for me too. He saw the pregnancy brain first hand tonight when I couldn't find my phone and was looking all over the house. He was calling it but it was on vibrate....I finally found it in my underwear drawer. So random. It's because when I got home from shopping I stashed some of his gifts in there quickly so I can hide them until I get a chance to wrap them.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: pleased all is well from scan. Rant: waking up at same early time no matter when I go to bed and then being tired all day! Can feel baby move now and pleased to be at halfway point, looking forward to home stretch - would like my body back soon !!!
Upcoming appointments: midwife 7 Jan. The scan was pretty clinical so looking forward to a more holistic appt
Questions for the Group: wondering if anyone else surprised themselves with reaction to the sex. I thought I was fine with whatever but realised how much I had really believed it was a girl at the moment they told me it was a boy! We are happy but having to regroup and start looking at boys names and I am a bit wistful that maybe the baby won't be into wanting to read all my girlhood books so much!!
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? None that I remember just now but hubby usually doesn't come out of them well!!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm so tired of not being able to sleep straight through the night! For example tonight went to bed at 10. Woke up at midnight and can't fall back to sleep. I though this was a first tri thing. Anyone else up?
Upcoming appointments: 12/29 for anatomy scan! Almost there!!
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? I posted earlier this week about how I keep having dreams it's a boy as we can see his "huge schlong" in US in my dreams. Love that the technical term for penis in my dream is schlong.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: things have been a lot better as far as soreness, definitely increased bathroom trips, though.
Upcoming appointments: Jan 7th I think is my next
Questions for the Group: Nope
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Not lately, but I had a funny one where a coworker took stuff out of my classroom and I woke up soooo mad at him.
Its not even that I am uncomfortable or getting up to pee. I just wake up and am WIDE awake. Its not like me... I slept through a hurricane before. Nothing ever wakes me. But now, the smallest peep from hubby has me up and awake.

Jumping in here. @yogahh that happened to me with DS too. I was never a very sound sleeper before, but now any noise wakes me. To get back to sleep quickly, I try to close my eyes again quickly and not let my mind wander. I also use this breathing method sometimes to quickly relax:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3067526/Can-t-sleep-4-7-8-breathing-technique-claims-help-nod-60-SECONDS.html Many articles about this 478 method claim it works in 1 minute. That's not always the case for me, but it does help me to get back to sleep much faster when I remember to do it. It's annoying, but my easy waking has been helpful with DS.

I've also used the 478 technique before when I've had a hard time falling asleep and it's been helpful!

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: No real symptoms, until I spent the afternoon playing on an inflatable obstacle course with the 2 year old. My legs are killing me.
Upcoming appointments: January 21.
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? Not really this time. It's kind of nice.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: sciatica problems, still no cravings, getting my energy back but biggest symptom is migraines! I'm loving how fast my fingernails are growing
Upcoming appointments: Jan. 5th for my A/S
Questions for the Group: still no cravings anyone else without cravings?
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately?
I've had a few but only one about the baby! An ex bf from years ago showed up and said I couldn't handle taking care of a baby and took my LO which turned into my dog, Bender. I woke up crying!
Hmm.. That's no fun. I dealt with that a little bit when I stopped taking unisom, it took a few days for my body to get used to not taking it. If your insomnia gets too bad you could ask your ob about taking unisom to help you sleep? I hope you can get some sleep!! :-/
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: headaches
Upcoming appointments: repeat anatomy scan tomorrow to get the rest of LO's glamour shots that he wouldn't pose for the first time around.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: Any weird pregnancy dreams lately? So, so weird. Last night I dreamed that I had to pet sit for the 101 Dalmatians. All of them...at the stage where they were posing as black dogs to escape Cruella Deville. 101 black dogs as a pet sitting job. The night before I dreamed that my cat was enthusiastically taking a shower.
