well, looks like my rings need to come off today lol. I made it through my whole last pregnancy with them on but i'm scared if i don't take them off now they'll have to cut them off me
@appleblossom8317 Thank you for good thoughts. I'm trying to stay positive and focus on the fun of the holidays with my little family. Definitely going to be a long 2 weeks.
@goldfishcraker Oh my goodness! I can not imagine how scary that must have been!! And probably still has you on edge I would think. At least you are getting some good exercise 😆 You will be ready for a good nap after all that activity.
That stinks about you failing the 1 hour! Sorry you have to do the 3 hour
The attending came to see me, and ended up doing a pelvic exam. It looks like the bleeding is coming directly from my cervix. So we have a source, but no explaination. It was bleeding during the exam but no pooled blood. And my cervix is closed.
They talked about admitting me but baby isn't in distress and the bleeding isn't severe. So in the end, decided that admission isn't necessary at this point. Hopefully baby can cook for another 10+ weeks.
The staff were all incredible. They told me I made the right call coming in. I'm relieved baby is ok!
@goldfishcraker Oh no! I'm sorry the bleeding didn't stop, but thankful baby is okay and your cervix is closed. Glad they were able to answer some of your questions. Hopefully it stops soon.
@Panaceia Love all of your clues - you are so creative! @goldfishcraker Love the scavenger hunt idea! @lurvleybunchococonuts Good to hear from you. Good luck with the 3-hour test, and I'm so jealous that you are almost done with wrapping. The presents I bought are hidden away in various places, so now I have to go find them to wrap! @goldfishcraker Glad things are ok with you and baby! Let's keep these babies cooking!
@goldfishcraker I’m so sorry you are still dealing with the bleeding. Really glad to hear everyone involved in your care was thorough and reassuring during that stressful time.
Woot Woot! I went in for my GP appointment this morning and ended up getting my booster!!!! Yay!!!!! It turns out my city has started an initiative to get allllll pregnant people and their partners vaccinated immediately! Sooo glad I didn't have to wait in line anywhere or have to go through the insanity of trying to book an appointment. I feel soooo much better now that it's done!
@Panaceia yay that's so exciting! Congrats! Hopefully you don't Have any of the immune response symptoms, and it's all happy, symptom-free, immune system boosting awesomeness!! 🥳
@goldfishcraker oh Lord how terrifying! I am so glad you and baby are okay. Praying you can keep them cooking for as long as possible ❤️❤️❤️

TTGP December Siggy Co-Winner: Favorite Moments from Holiday Movies/TV
Had an OB appt today and she’s recommending, due to the variant, that pregnant ladies avoid unnecessary air travel during this wave. Siiiiiigh. I was still on the fence about our San Diego trip but as soon as I told DH what the doc said he immediately said, “we should cancel” and he seemed so relieved. Only after cancelling did he admit that he had a lot of anxiety around me getting Covid (even vaxx/boosted). So, that’s sweet, and I’m glad he’s feeling better now (we will go up north instead where he found a cozy cabin) but I’m bummed, too. I know we will still enjoy our alone time, but today it just feels like one more Covid disappointment.
And to add insult to injury I failed the one hour glucose screen. Grrrrrrrrrr.
@rachelredhead aw I would feel disappointed too, but also totally understand cancelling. It is so hard right now. I hope you enjoy your time at the cabin! That sounds nice.
@rachelredhead I'm sorry 😞 I'm trying to remember how much sweeter everything will be once COVID is under control but it doesn't help the disappointment we feel now ❤ FX the 3 hour goes well but I'm sorry you have to take it at all!
Odd question maybe but my OB won't be available for the next few days with holidays... 28 weeks and it seems like baby boy has dropped lower. My bump seems lower and his movements feel different. I had been really breathless for a few days, and now that has improved. I did have an anterior placenta so I wasnt really able to feel movements until around 20 weeks and its always been different than DD ever was.
@friends-fan the same thing happened to me last weekend. I think she turned or something, because my belly looks different, and her movements feel different: stronger in places I barely felt before, more fluttery in new places. I have an anterior placenta this time around, so there are spots that I have never felt her, but now if I rest my hand on the upper right side of my bump, she will sometimes kick there. I can’t feel it, but I can watch my hand jump haha. I still feel the clearest movement down low to about CB my belly button, but she definitely switched positions.
@friends-fan Similar here. OB and GP both told me he is head down right now so I assume that's the difference for me:) But definitely feeling him in different places and he is not as high as before!
@Panaceia I was finally able to book an appointment for Jan. 8th. Originally the earliest they could get me in was the second week of February, but luckily another area opened an appointment. My H isn't eligible, though, so I'll be the only one getting my booster. I'm not super happy with how Quebec is handling boosters. The information has been really spotty and hard to find.
@goldfishcraker I'm so sorry. That sounds so scary. I hope that there won't be any more bleeding and that your 3 hour test will come out okay.
@luckyduck42 what a beautiful picture. I'm so happy that you have a good support system. I'm still so sorry for your family's loss. And you are in my thoughts all of the time.
@achanceintime@Panaceia okay, good! Thats reassuring! I was starting to get concerned about him trying to make his way early. I keep getting sharp pains running down my leg which I assume is him hitting a nerve and he's most definitely in a different position. His kicks and/or jabs have been painful at times. But no contractions or anything too concerning.
Oops. Apparently I didn't hit post effectively yesterday.
This is probably a long, pointless vent. A FWP. Totally feel free to skip. I just feel...sad. overly so, probably because hormones. And I just need to get it out. Even though it's stupid.
Today was our family Christmas. It is the Christmas celebration I look forward to most every year. I much prefer it to happen after Christmas, but we did it early to accommodate brother and SIL. I had to take the day off work to make it happen.
Growing up, this day happened boxing day. We would stay in our PJs all day, open our gifts, play games all day, and eat yummy but low effort foods.
Yesterday, Brother called saying they wouldn't be attending, because they made a stupid choice and decided to do high risk COVID exposure thing the day before yesterday.
So that was extremely disappointing.
My parents also brought my grandmother, which of course is great. She is family, and I love her and love to see her, and DS loves to see her. But her Alzheimer's is extremely advanced, and it was an entire day of me knowbabysitting her, making sure she didn't kill my dog or hurt my son. (Or escape outside into the -20 weather without a coat. And trying to convince her to wash her hands after peeing. And keep track of all the stuff she was accidentally stealing.) And of course, she's not capable of playing games at this point, so that was all out too.
And then the snow storm meant that my parents were an hour late arriving. (Better safe than sorry of course) but then they also had to leave several hours early to take grandmother home.
Oh, also, grandmother at one point, started complaining of chest pain, so I had to try to assess her, and we had to discuss calling an ambulance. So then that was an extra worry all day.
Anyway, Im exhausted, being up since 5:30, and taking care of the toddler and the grandmother. And it didn't feel like Christmas at all. So now I'm sad, and whining about it 😅
I am so sorry you that your Christmas didn't go anywhere near as expected! That definitely sounds like a long very high stress day even not pregnant! Hopefully you are able to get some rest and de-stress 😴
@goldfishcraker I’m sorry your day didn’t go as planned. Pregnancy hormones or not, that would have been as stressful day. I hope you can get some rest!
@goldfishcraker I'm sorry. That sounds so difficult and very disappointing. It's absolutely understandable that you would feel exhausted after a day like that.
Re: Randoms WO Dec 13
Oh dear, praying all goes well for you and baby.
@goldfishcraker Oh my goodness! I can not imagine how scary that must have been!! And probably still has you on edge I would think. At least you are getting some good exercise 😆 You will be ready for a good nap after all that activity.

The walking resulted in more bleeding.

Hoping with you that you can carry to term. Hang in there and please take it easy!
@goldfishcraker Love the scavenger hunt idea!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Good to hear from you. Good luck with the 3-hour test, and I'm so jealous that you are almost done with wrapping. The presents I bought are hidden away in various places, so now I have to go find them to wrap!
@goldfishcraker Glad things are ok with you and baby! Let's keep these babies cooking!
So I have to take the 3-hour glucose test next Tuesday. Failed the 1 hour by 10 points

Aw that sounds stressful. I’m sorry!
Hard to believe next week we’ll be entering 2022, the year our babies are all due. ❤️
I hope everyone has had a lovely few days with family! ❤️
