October Checkin

drvst8 · August 2012

Good morning ladies! I'm hoping everyone is having a wonderful week. I'm hoping all of our October babies are deciding to stay put for a few more weeks. I don't want to see anymore PTL post. Babies stay baking please. We are so close to full term now it won't be long!

How are you feeling?

Any updates or appts?

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to.

How are you feeling? Physically good just more and more tired. Emotionally all over the place. Today is 11 months since we lost Logan...so that means one more more month and he would have been a year old. Its amazing how time flys. I'm trying to figure out how to handle all of this while i'm still pregnant with his little sister.

Any updates or appts? We had a wonderful check up with our MFM last week. He actually said I don't need anymore growth scans because she is absolutely perfect. 48th percentile at 4lbs 6oz. And she looked wonderful. Still breech though. But at this point I don't care. As long as she gets here safe. We are now doing twice a week NSTs and AFI so I still get to see baby girl every week. So I will take it. And my MW scheduled my induction...so at the latest she will be arriving 10/11/12.

GTKY: 11lbs...but that is because last week I lost a pound. I thought I was eating a lot I guess not. I'm sure I will gain a couple more before she gets here.

SouthernBellaKS · August 2012

How are you feeling? Overall okay. I imagine I'll start to feel a bit better now that I'm done with my Saturday trainings, so my schedule can get back to normal. I am noticing that my butt cheeks are starting to hurt at night when I'm sleeping.

Any updates or appts? I have my next appointment on the 4th.

GTKY: As of my last appointment, I was only up 13 lbs.

How are you feeling? Great!!!! I can't believe I'm 33w already! 4 weeks until full term and I have something planned every week!

Any updates or appts? No appointments until next Thursday

As of my last appointment I had gained 18lbs.

How are you feeling? Feeling okay. I'm starting to feel a little stressed about getting everything done. But other than that - feeling great phsyically. I do have a leg twitch that's bothering me, but that's my only complaint

Any updates or appts? I had a growth scan, BPP and check up yesterday. They were concerned about the doppler showing cord resistance. Yesterday was normal 3.3, AFI 12.4, growth 4lbs 11oz, and 10/10 for BPP. So, the bedrest they thought I should be on is not needed. YAY!

GTKY: Well, I am now on restrictions - so I've gained about 4 pounds in the last 3 weeks...and I can see it just piling on from here. I think I'm up about 24 pounds.

WearingRed · August 2012

Feeling: good! We sold our house so and it looks like we will be getting the house up here but I am not holding my breath so many things have to go right and so far things just don't go my way. I might be happier next week I might be more stresses and looking for a rental. We will see.

Appointment: Friday. Just a normal appointment. I plan on asking a lot of questions though.

GTKY: 20 pounds from PP 30 from first trimester low. Either way it's not bad I just a bit sad I will be up to my all time high weight at delivery again. I was hoping to stay lower but baby's health is more important.

Eveanyn · August 2012

How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling a little better than I have been. My back pain has receded this week (thankfully) and my insomnia went away. It's still hard to try to get to sleep at night, but at least I don't wake up at 3am anymore without the ability to go back to sleep. Overall I'm feeling really nice!

Any updates or appts? Oliver had his last ultrasound today! He's 5lbs1oz and was really cranky. The u/s tech had to wake him up to get a picture of his face, and he gave the cutest grumpy face!! It won't let me PIP for some reason, but I may try in a different post to see if it works. It's so adorable!

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to. I have gained a whopping 30lbs this pregnancy!! The weird thing is, it's almost all in my belly. My butt/legs have gotten a little bigger, but other than that I'm fairly skinny everywhere else. I have good eating habits and I exercise pretty regularly, my body just likes to gain a lot of weight, I guess.

Hope you ladies have an excellent day! I always look forward to our Wednesday check-ins. We're so close now!

race-to-be · August 2012

How are you feeling? Physically uncomfortable, sore and tired. Emotionally, I'm torn between being ok if he were to come now and freaking out that he might be here really soon. Oh, hormones...

Any updates or appts? After all the fun last Thursday-Saturday, things have calmed down. The contractions have stopped (yay!) and we had a good doctor's appointment on Monday. They won't stop labour at this point, and my OB isn't concerned with him coming early anymore. I'm on light activities - work 3-4 days a week and take it easy at home. Baby weighed 4lb 12 oz on Monday, and my cervix closed back up. Next appointment is Monday, 10 September.

GTKY: I am the proud owner of 35 extra pounds!!! My goal was less than 40, and I think I'm going to make it. I've stayed really active throughout these last 9 months and have eaten fairly well. My OB seems to think that most of the weight is fluid, and the only place I've grown is my belly (well, and boobs).

KJohnson826 · August 2012

How are you feeling? Tired, achy feet and hips.

Any updates or appts? Appointment on 9/10, OB said they will do the Group B Strep at that appointment, then I will have weekly appointments.

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to. After looking at everyone elses posts, I think I have gained the most for having a singleton, 43 pounds. Sad My doctor doesn't seem worried though, and thankfully the appetite is starting to slow down.

katigox · August 2012

How are you feeling? Oh nice and sore!

I feel like my pelvic ligaments are being punched threw by his little fists and feet, haha! But hey, I'd rather he'd punch/kick me until I'm sore, than him slow down at all . . . just shows he's a little a boxer ~ and growing stronger every day

Well, that and my nose is so congested that it's getting uncomfortable to sleep at night (or it's just my belly getting bigger and bigger, haha!).

Any updates or appts? I moved because my husband has this new job - I know, a move when I'm in my third trimester?! - but yeah, so I am now seeing a new doctor next week (wish me luck!)

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I actually lost weight during my first trimester, from morning sickness . . . then was given meds and that helped stabilize it a bit, but I really didn't gain any until my fifth month - and now, almost three months later, I've gained thirty pounds total! But I'm eating good, and carrying the weight mostly in my belly (and boobs!), and my baby is measuring just a bit larger than expected - so I'm okay with it. I mean, there's only so much you can do if you are eating healthy :P So long LO's healthy, that's all that matters

luvinlifeMN · August 2012

How are you feeling? Tired...and ready to be done. Sleep has gotten so much harder and waking up every 3-4 hours to pee has not been enjoyable.

Any updates or appts? Great appointment this morning. BP, weight, and fundal height are all perfect. I had my tDap shot this morning and at my next appointment in 2 weeks I have my Group B strep test and my first cervix exam to make sure baby is head down. I think I'll pass on any other cervix checks unless I have to have one for medical reasons because knowing how much I am dilated (or not) doesn't really change when she may come. I know so many people who walk around at 3 centimeters for WEEKS before baby comes.

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I'm up 24 pounds.....

jaimerz1025 · August 2012

Hi Ladies! Sorry I've been MIA forever....hope everyone is doing well.

I'm doing pretty good overall. Changing positions (sitting to standing/laying to standing) makes me feel like an old lady thanks to my hips/pelvic bones but otherwise I feel decent.

Just had our appt on Monday. We're at 33 weeks...I measured 33 1/2 weeks so that's close enough. Baby is in head down position. Everything looking good so far. I'm starting to get stretch marks now Indifferent but of course they're on the underside of my belly so I don't know they're there until I look in the mirror and BAM there they are! Not that they aren't worth it...but man they are not a confidence booster right now!

GTKY: So far I think I've gained about 18-20lbs...hoping to keep it under 30 but we'll see.

Petunia844 · August 2012

How are you feeling? Pretty good, although last night for some reason I just could not sleep. Had middle of the night heartburn and just couldn't get comfy. Plus the back ache that led to my UTI diagnosis left for a few days but now seems to be back? Not sure what that's about... going to ask the OB today.

Any updates or appts? Appt today for our biophysical ultrasound.

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to. Well... I was 8 lbs above my original weight to begin with because I hadn't lost all my weight from Peyton's pregnancy... but if you ignore that I've packed on an additional about 27 lbs so far. I'm not sure where it's all gone, I feel like I'm mostly all belly, although my legs and butt have certainly beefed up slightly.

yikeslady04 · August 2012

How are you feeling? I am in a lot of pain I have biliarary (?) colic and now that Anthony is getting bigger and has less space to move around the pain is awful especially when he moves to the right side. The doctor can't do anything about it but keeps telling me to take a vicodin...but I don't want to. I had to do that once when I was first diagnosed and I hated the effect it had on both him and me. The past few days have been the worst...I am in a lot of pain and am having a hard time keeping anything down. The pain doesn't ever go away like it used to...it is constant.

Any updates or appts? I had an appointment last week and he looks great I have my growth scan tomorrow morning and I am so excited to see him.

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to. My weight gain has been non existent since the beginning of July. I am up 15 lbs...but haven't gained anything since the beginning of July. The doctor is not concerned at all so I don't worry about it.

tbone_bride · August 2012

I am feeling ok. Just uncomfortable and getting heartburn often. My feet are sore. But overall I am doing well.

Next appt is Sept 6th, then every 2 weeks after that. Have a growth scan on Sept 13th. This will be the first u /s since 20 weeks, so I am excited to see the little guy. My last ob gave me a scan every visit but not this doc! Ugh

I have gained about 25 lbs so far. I have had a crazy appetite this pregnancy. With my DD I gained over 30, but I would guess this one will be more. Oh well. For now I am enjoying the ice cream. And breast feeding really takes the weight off!

kbhaynes · August 2012

How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Swelling and having trouble sleeping. Still dealing with the gestational diabetes and the diet, but I'm ok.

Any updates or appts? Next appt is September 10th for regular appt. and growth u/s.

GTKY: How much weight have you gained so far with this LO? I know this can be a sensitive question so If you don't want to answer you don't have to. I have gained about 20lbs.
