Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 07.26.16
What size is baby? A tropical coconut according to Ovia... I feel like that's significantly smaller than last week's fruit.
Upcoming appointments? Next one is August 5th. Other than the RhoGAM shot, nothing special happening at that one.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone else feel like their baby is still super low? She's already head down, so I know that has something to do with it, but I expected her to move up SOME by now. She's nowhere near kicking my ribs, which I hear is a common complaint at this stage. I'm not worried about her development or anything, I just think it's strange she's still hanging out so low.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Lots of tailbone pain if I sit or stand too long. Still no cravings or aversions.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? I get told I look like red headed celebs a lot, like Laura Prepon or Marcia Cross, but I don't actually look like them. We just have the same color hair. People are dumb.
What size is baby? The size of a 1 pound basket of wings lol
Upcoming appointments? August 10 for a regular appointment and rhogam shot
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think that my all day erryday morning sickness is finally subsiding! I now eat food without wanting to throw up and have been taking way less of the zofran. Fingers crossed this sticks around!!!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I still am super weird with meat. Perhaps this baby is a future vegetarian lol
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? Sometimes people say Tina Fey, but I think it's just because we both wear glasses haha. No one else really looks similar.
Hooray for your nausea subsiding!!!
25 weeks
What size is baby? The bump says califlower
Upcoming appointments? August 9th- ultrasound to check the placenta previa and growth of babe and a regular appointment after... And a 1 hour glucose test
Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling a little crampy and have a lot of pressure down low- but this baby has been either breech or transverse and I feel a lot of kicks down low. Heart burn and discharge like crazy! Hoping the placenta previa actually moves even though it's unlikely.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? None!
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so then who? I get Hilary Duff a lot... And my husband thinks I look like Amy Smart.
So jealous! Mine has been breech or transverse and I feel a lot of kicks by my cervix and then I feel hits up higher like in my ribs. I swear he must be like laid out stretching with his hands above his head to do this!
What size is baby? zucchini
Upcoming appointments? Going every 2 weeks now so I'll be back in again next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am totally blessed with the fact that my sister is a professional photographer. So she is doing my maternity photo shoot on Thursday. But I'm having a hard time getting over the fact that I feel so huge lately. Don't get me wrong - pregnancy and motherhood is the most amazing thing and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I just don't feel very cute these days. Hoping that my sis can work her magic with the camera!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Oh man, the "out of breath" thing is getting bad. Just walking to my car in the parking garage totally wears me out!! And when I reach over to pick up my son's toys at home, sometimes I wonder if I will ever get back up!!!
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? I really can't think of one! But personality-wise, I'm a lot like Monica on "Friends". I'm very OCD and get lots of gratification out of cleaning and organizing!!
What size is baby? Eggplant
Upcoming appointments? August 3rd- then every 2 weeks after that
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave- I passed my 1 hr. glucose!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Craving all the food and all the sweets
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? My mom used to say Drew Barrymore-not so much anymore though. Maybe just her face shape. I do love me some Tom Green though
29! Woo!
What size is baby?
According to Ovia, not just any pineapple but a Hawaiian Pineapple. Lol
Upcoming appointments?
August 1st with my regular OB whom I love but he has a shitty US machine so I never get good pics from him. But we do have an elective ultrasound coming up that I'm excited about! That's on Aug 3rd.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I had my 3 hour GD test today and I'm a nervous wreck.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I feel like Hazelnut is kicking super low. I feel it in my vagina and I didn't really have that with DD. Probably because she was breech until the last week or so but those vagini kicks are hard!
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who?
I don't think so, not that I've been told lol
28 weeks, hello third trimester!
What size is baby?
Just had an appointment yesterday and they said she was 2lbs 1oz. Bump says eggplant
Upcoming appointments?
I passed my 3hr glucose test yesterday and have a follow up ultrasound the end of next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
At my appointment yesterday they said baby is small, in the 9th percentile. Has anyone else been told something similar? They said we are just going to monitor her growth, but now I'm freaking out.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Panera broccoli cheddar soup with baguette. And every time I pass a Wendy's I want a cheeseburger from there specifically
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who?
I don't know anyone that I look like, but I'm told my sense of humor reminds people of Melissa McCarthy. I love her!
29 weeks
What size is baby?
A pineapple or a barbie convertible
Upcoming appointments?
Aug 3, getting the TDAP
Rants/Raves/Questions
Seems like there is so much to do and so little time to do it.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Nausea has returned
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who?
Nope, don't have one.
My baby is in the 27th percentile so not quite as small as yours but still on the tinier side. My doctor said every child is different and someone has to fall in each petcentile and that as long as there is consistent growth, it's all good.
27
What size is baby?
Lettuce
Upcoming appointments?
August 9th
Rants/Raves/Questions?
this heat! It's too hot and humid! Is it too much to ask for some rain to cool down around here?!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Horrible round ligament pain like stops me where im at.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who?
Not that I know of. When I was a teenager I kept getting all the young redhead celebs too @CopperBoom86
28
What size is baby?
Head of cauliflower? I hate the fruit and veggie comparisons btw
Upcoming appointments?
MFM tomorrow to check little B's growth, reg ob on aug 2.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not really. Very much enjoying all the kicks from baby B, who is a bit smaller than her sister.
@kennelchick my last u/s showed baby B àin the 8th percentile but my MFM said as long as she grows on her own curve, everything should be fine. "We'll let her cook as long as possible and then give her a big cheeseburger once she's out." He told me☺
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Chocolate! Food! Major growth spurt going on right now. There's a rib in my back that was out for a week. I had a second adjustment today so hopefully the discomfort stays away.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? Nope.
Its hard not to stress but try not to.
30!!!
What size is baby?
A cantaloupe.
Upcoming appointments?
On Friday, getting the Tdap shot.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone else not getting a 3rd Tri u/s? I asked my OB and she said it's not typical unless there's a problem. I've only had 2 (8 weeks and 20 weeks). I'm grateful that baby and I have been healthy and normal, but I would love to see this little peanut! @kennelchick No idea about baby's size but I've been measuring 1cm small my last few appointments. Not sure if that means anything about baby?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Some days I feel great and some days my energy is super low in the afternoon/evening. It's cooler this week which helps a lot. I just bought a massage groupon and I'm super excited about it, I desperately need one! My cravings are mostly for food in general, but I guess a lot of snacks and sweets.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who?
The nicest one I've heard is Kate Hudson, which I don't really believe lol. Sometimes maybe the hair on a great hair day? I've also heard Hayden Panettiere because I'm also very short and petite.
It's a boy!

What size is baby? Acorn Squash
Upcoming appointments? August 17th ish (I may have to change because of work) but then after that is bi-weekly!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Passed my 1-hour GTT!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still craving real strong flavors, like spicy and sour and sweet.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppleganger? If so, who? Nobody has ever compared me to anybody famous before, so for the moment I have to say no...
@serenaxo84 Yes, mine is all over too! I feel like I'm constantly saying "How can he be in both my ribs and my cervix at the same time?!" Nobody has said anything to me about if he's breech or anything though, so now I'm going to have to ask my OB (if I remember).
Mommy to Elizabeth (6/18/09), preemie at 34 weeks
Team Blue!
30 weeks, formally 3/4 of the way to the finish line!
What size is baby?
The size of three stacked Hungry Man frozen dinners.
Upcoming appointments?
Had a basic check up yesterday. Heartbeat was 153, got my actual GTT results (which were quite low somehow), and the TDAP. Next appointment is the Wednesday after next. Just remembered this is when the appointments start getting 'invasive' and they start checking the ol' cervix
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nope.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
The usual.
GTKY: Do you have a celebrity doppelganger? Ifeed so, who?
I've been told Macaulay Culkin
@Blonde1817 - I'm in the same boat. Had an u/s at 15 weeks because of a scare, then again at 20 weeks but haven't had one since. Not sure if they'll do another one, but I would love to see her again!
@kennelchick - My friend's baby was in the 4th percentile, but he was born perfectly healthy. And I agree with @Serenaxo84, the measurements they're looking at can be so off because they can't account for body fat. They thought my DS was going to be 8 lbs even and he was 9 lbs 8 oz!
You could end up getting one in third trimester if they need to check the baby's size or position but I think typically you only get one of there is an issue. I have a friend who's sister just had a random third trimester 3D ultrasound and I thought it was a little weird. Like it must have been elective (she paid for it) or they thought there was an issue.
@kaytee1087 I think at this point our babes can still be changing position. When I was breech they said he could still change up to like 36 weeks- when I went into labor they did an ultrasound to check that he was still breech. My OB thought could tell by touching my stomach. It could also be little hands punching you in the cervix if the babe is head down!
At least the comparisons started pre-Macaulay rock bottom!
