Re: Sunday Bed Rest Check In
How are you doing? Have the contractions slowed down?
I am 31 weeks and I don't know the fruit size but baby was a little under 4 pounds at our scan on Thursday!
Update: I am doing ok. About 3 hours before my next procardia dose the contractions start getting stronger and closer together again. It really freaks me out because I feel like my body keeps trying to go into labor, I am nervous for my cervix check on Tuesday.
Also we are meeting with a pediatric urologist tomorrow to get the game plan for my baby's dilated kidney. So lots of stress!
How many weeks are you today? 33 weeks today
What fruit? my baby is the size of a Durian.
Update on how you are doing. I'm doing alright. I'm kinda tired of being pregnant I feel this pregnancy is never going to end. The thing that keeps me going everyday is that at the end of this pregnancy I will have a beautiful baby boy. I still have my weekly p17 shot and my weekly doctor visits which are going really well.
How many weeks are you today? 34weeks 3days!
What fruit? Not sure which fruit but baby has consistently measured 4-5 weeks ahead at the last 6 or so ultrasounds and on Tuesday was said to be 7lbs7oz!! She has been 97th percentile since week 20 at biweekly ultrasound and I kind of suspect they are accurate since so many say the same thing using different ultrasound machines and different technicians!!
Update on how you are doing. Ok. Since I am past 34 weeks and had the steroid shots 2 weeks ago they are less concerned that baby comes now so I am allowed to do a bit each day. I went out for 20minutes yesterday and it was brutal! Today we went to church and while I had contractsion every 2-3 minutes and they were getting increasingly painful I survived the hour and it was nice to get out of house.
I am so done with contractions though. On a good day they are every 5minutes and are maybe a level 2 on the pain scale. But when they get to every 2-3 minutes for hours on end they build to level 7-8 on pain scale and it is just too much. My poor body is so utterly exhausted. I really, really hope it pays off and when it comes time to deliver I can do it drug and intervention free!! I'm trying to think of weeks of constant contractions as practice for a smooth delivery!!
I am 13w2d. The baby is a peach. I read through all of your posts and envy how far along you all are. I can't imagine 27 more weeks of this but I am terrified of being preterm. Probably tmi but with uterine prolapse it feels like I have a tampon in that isn't in right, if you know that feeling. I wish I could find more research on it while being pregnant instead of how it effects people pp. I am super bored and really want to do laundry and clean house. But I will just lay here instead.

Can I join you guys? I will be 23 weeks tomorrow and have been on strict bed rest for a week already due to cramping, funneling, cervix shortening to 2.5. My older son was a 26 weeker (water broke and started leaking at 23w5d) so they are being extra careful with me. I will be on strict bed rest for at least another week. Hopefully, restrictions will loosen a little after that. I am off work until 28 weeks for sure with weekly cervix checks and P17 shots.
I feel physically and mentally exhausted already. I already had a major crying episode with DH this morning about not being able to even go to my classroom to get things ready for the sub. I think it's because of the timeline of my PROM happening right about now with DS. I will do whatever I can to have a FT baby, but it is exhausting to think that I will have to do this for another week-possibly much longer. I know you all will understand...
How many weeks are you today? I'm 27wk3d
What fruit? A Rutabaga...(sorry, The Bump told me a Veggie this week)
Update on how you are doing. I'm doing alright. I hoped beyond all hope that my cramping was getting better, because I had a couple of days where it was practically non-existant, but now it's back with a vengeance. With more hip pain! Oh goodie.

PgAL MARCH SIGGY CHALLENGE: PET SHAMING
I totally understand. I am a teacher too and have been writing plans until a long term sub gets in there. From my sub reports the students have been manipulative and not doing their work... I have seniors. They have had 5 different subs so far. I was writing good plans, where teaching should have been going on but today I gave up. It's book work and a film that goes with it. If they are not going to wok hard, I am not going to work hard.
That is awful that they have not found a consistent long term sub for you! I am a special ed. teacher and there is a ridiculous shortage of subs in my district. There are so many times that I have a sub that is pulled to cover gen. ed. classrooms. So they did that today and I had everything planned out for Dr. Seuss Day that she will not be able to do when she covers my class for the afternoon. Argh!
