Re: Week 2 check-in w/o 11/26
Any appointments? Questions?
I was supposed to have my second group Centering appointment with the midwives this morning, but we had a huge snowstorm and all the schools are cancelled, which means my kids are all home. I’m not worried about skipping it because I had my big ultrasound and an individual appointment last week.
Rants/Raves?
My new maternity faux leather Spanx. At $118 they are pricey, but they are so comfy and look great. I have worn them almost every day since I got them. If only they were appropriate at a law firm I’d literally wear them every day lol.
How are you feeling?
Great! Working out a lot although running is a no-go. Did a 5-k Turkey Trot and had terrible round ligament/muscle pain for 3 days. I’m sticking to spin classes and the stairmaster from now on.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?
Fun! No family drama, so that was good.
Any appointments? Questions? Ultrasound appointment for Wednesday! Excited to see how bubs is growing and to get word on whether or not the placenta has moved out of the way to clear me for my home birth. Plenty more time but some movement would be nice.
Rants/Raves? DH had better clean up some of the house today on his day off. I leave on Friday for 12 days and I cleaned like a mad woman yesterday so I need to see some effort on his part as well.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Sore today because I spent time raking leaves and bagging them up in the backyard (2 hours worth ugh) but could be worse.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Very good day with family. Had to work after so we couldn't stay late but DH got to eat with us before headed into work for retail and DD was tuckered out after playing with all the great aunts and uncles so I couldn't have asked for a better day.
Any appointments? Questions? Just had my anatomy scan, everything looked good and little babe was even sucking his thumb at one point.
Rants/Raves? Drinking that much water before my anatomy scan was pure torture. Luckily it only took 45 minutes, not an hour and a half like they claimed it would! I'm also sad because DH is leaving for work stuff overnight.
How are you feeling? It's been a rough few weeks. Physically I'm okay, although sciatica and poor appetite are still bugging me.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Family drama and emotional with regards to some health stuff. I'm feeling drained and I really don't want to go into work today, but I just had a week off so I really can't complain....
Any appointments? Questions? Follow up ultrasound next Wednesday to see if my placenta has moved yet, at my last ultrasound they found out I have complete placenta previa. Nerve wracking but glad we get to see our boy again!
Rants/Raves? My OB put me on pelvic rest... which means no sex, no "O"s, no working out.. nothing. I'm frustrated all around lol
How are you feeling? Besides frustrated from pelvic rest, I'm feeling good. Bsby kicks are fun!
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was good! Very busy though.. 3 parties was too much
Due date: April 12
Any appointments? Questions? I have my anatomy scan tomorrow. I'm excited/nervous! I've had 2 trips to the ER, though, because of some severe abdominal pain. They can't find anything wrong with me, though. I'm really hoping it's just really, really bad gas. I'm going to cut out my fiber supplement and hope that helps.
Rants/Raves? Nada. Just wish this pain in my left lower abdomen would go away.
How are you feeling? See above
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was pretty good minus being physically uncomfortable. It was nice to see my family (we flew out to Ohio for the holiday). I haven't been home since my younger sister passed away in May. It was tough but good.
April 9
Any appointments? Questions?
20 week appt/ check up on my bladder infection tomorrow afternoon
Rants/Raves?
Snow day today for DD. Which would have been fun if I didn’t feel so awful. I know she’s starting to get irritated that mommy can’t play because she’s sick
How are you feeling?
Got a last minute appt last Wednesday with my OB because I was have mild cramping and contractions, and blood in urine. Went in and got diagnoisss with a bladder infection which means resting and no working out. Day 5of7 of antibiotics for my infection and still not feeling better. This thing has wiped me out, even taking a shower leaves me exhausted. Also the cramping and Braxton Hicks and driving me crazy
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?
Good except I couldn’t do much (see above) despite hosting 25 people. Luckily my awesome mom and DH took care of everything for me
Any appointments? Questions? Last appointment in Italy next Tuesday. It's nearly moving day!
Rants/Raves? In 2 weeks I'll be eating all the food back home.
How are you feeling? Just tired. Moving pregnant sucks. But its nearly done. I'm also so huge 3rd big boy does not play. He's high too.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Low key. Nothing left in the house to make a big meal.
Any appointments? Questions? Had my big ultrasound with the fetal medicine doctor yesterday. Baby looks perfect! I have to go back for one more in a month because there was one view of the heart they were not able to get because he kept moving around. I feel like I can finally relax and enjoy this pregnancy now.
Rants/Raves? I am sick with a terrible cold. All of my nephews were sick at Thanksgiving and of course now I have it. It has hit me hard!
How are you feeling? Other than the cold I am still nauseous quite a bit but other than that I feel good.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was great! I just love getting together with all the family. We had a snow day yesterday so it was nice having an extra day off.
@blueberrymomma That totally sucks about the bladder infection. I hope you start feeling better soon!
@catherineclaire78 That's weird about the pains. Have you gotten them since you've stopped running? I'm starting to feel a little better (stopped taking my fiber supplement which I think was the cause of intense gas pains), but I'm still nervous to start running again.
Any appointments? Questions? Appointment this Friday, reviewing anatomy scan images/monthly check up.
Rants/Raves? Rant: This has been the week from hell, I've had a horrible stomach bug since Sunday, my DS had it first, then H, now me...I'm starting to feel better and finally had my first real meal about a hour ago. I dropped all of my baby weight that I had put on which wasn't much, about 5-8lbs. I still feel so weak but I'm back at work and pushing through.
Raves: I got to see LO last week at my anatomy scan! everything looked good according to the US tech, we will see Friday what my ob has to say.
How are you feeling? please see above...
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was surprisingly great! We went to my in laws this year so it was a nice change up.
Any appointments? Questions? 24 week checkup and glucose tolerance test 12/19. Just hanging out until then.
Rants/Raves? No rants today, just raves. I’m in the honeymoon period of the second tri, finally! I’ve been getting a lot done now that symptoms have eased up. Plus, little girl kicks and moves SO much now and it’s just as amazing as everyone told me it’d be.
How are you feeling? Awesome. Only symptom right now is fatigue.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Best thanksgiving my family has had in ages, but very bittersweet. My brother was suffering from cancer for the last two thanksgivings, and I didn’t feel right celebrating when he was physically unable to eat any of the food. Last year, we ate in my parent’s garage and microwaved the food. It was depressing and I know that’s why I’m so bitter toward the holiday. He is no longer with us this year, but we made sure to make all of his favorite dishes and eat to our heart’s content in his honor. I’d like to think he was out there somewhere, eating something delicious too.
On better news, my anatomy scan from yesterday showed that everything is going great! Baby measures and looks good, and I didn't accidentally see his/her privates (we are team green until the end) so I'm very happy. Of course, I STILL feel like shit. Like, I might lose my mind. I have a STABBING pain in my lower left abdomen and nothing is wrong, according to all the tests I've taken over the holiday weekend (2 ER visits). I'm thinking/hoping it's really bad gas, so I've been taking Gas-X and Colace, but now the Colace gives me diarrhea which then makes me barf.
Sorry for the rant. I just don't know who else to complain to! I feel so bad whining to DH all the time, and I don't want to worry my mom. I just don't know what the hell to do.
@lyse01 you bring up some possibilities. I know my ovaries ok since they checked them on my ultrasound yesterday but I hadn't thought of a kidney stone. I'm going to mention it to my midwife. Thanks!
Any appointments? Questions?
We had the anatomy scan last week and I have to go back Friday for another image because of fetal position. I’m a little nervous but trying not to sweat it because the tech told me that would very likely happen.
Found out it’s a GIRL
Rants/Raves?
I’m not enjoying sleeping on my side!
My bump has POPPED in the past 1.5-2 weeks which is so fun I finally look pregnant. Yay. Sharing a photo below. I’ve loved seeing the belly photos people post. Also announced the baby on Facebook this week so I guess it’s happening.
How are you feeling?
Pretty good.
Starting to work on the registry and wow, I have no idea what I need for a baby and really don’t want too much stuff. Doing my research...
Really nice! Flew down to my parents in FL. Headed home tomorrow after a restful week.
