Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 37. (week 38 starts Monday). General tiredness and soreness related to the extra weight. Feeling like I have extra energy though, which really wipes me out.
2. Any milestones this week? Will start getting cervix checks next week. Nothing too exciting this week.
3. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Appointments are every Wednesday. Next one will be a regular OB appt along with my first cervix check. Excited to see if there is any progress!
4. What are you looking forward to this week? Manicure and pedicure! We are all packed and ready, so just relaxing and enjoying our time before baby.
5. Wednesday confession? A couple days late on this... ooops! My confession? Sort of TMI, when I have a full bladder, it makes me feel like I have to go #2 instead. It is really weird.
6. What are your essentials for hospital bag? Essentials for diaper bag? Hospital bag: Nipple cream, nursingbra/tops, loose fitting clothing for coming home. Diaper bag: Cloth diapers, wet bag, a few onsies changes. For mom: Water bottle, snack, phone charger.
7. Any recommendations on pregnancy books or books to read to help a first time mom with the first year? I have been mainly scouring the internet and using the parenting boards on GBCN for advice and prep. That can be found at: https://pandce.****/board/51/seattle-parenting
8. If you had morning sickness, when did it start? And did it come all at once, or gradually? I was very lucky and never did get any sickness thus far. Though, that might have helped my weight gain if I had...
9. Have you had any food aversions during your pregnancy? Nope. But I definitely craved milk for a week or two, and fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, apples) have been my favorite.
10. Where is everyone delivering? OB or midwife? OB! I am delivering at Evergreen. I was born there, and have heard great things about care there, and I have loved my doctor so far.
