Any Updates? Upcoming appointments?
QOTW: What will you miss most about being pregnant?
Me:34 PCOS, one kinked tube, low thyroid.
DH:39 lower than average count.
Married 2006. 3 failed IUIs and countless BFNs.

Boy/girl fraternal mono/di twins-- lost our sweet baby girl at 22 weeks due to SIUGR
Preterm labor at 23 weeks 4 days, lost our sweet baby boy.
I used to do first tri check in and just put everyone on a spreadsheet to keep it formatted. I would copy paste. I suppose a word doc would work, too.
I'm 32 weeks! I have a 4d ultrasound tomorrow and hope baby cooperates this time. My shower is next weekend.
QOTW: I have really enjoyed being pregnant and honestly have never felt better or healthier in my life. Some things I suffer from have kind of gone in remission since being pregnant so I'm worried they will come back full force. We have 2 embryos left and I'm thinking we will transfer those 6 months after this one is born.
@mlamping congratulations!! Looking forward to pics!
Everyone- I will leave the post all messed up this week and hope to fix it next week. My update: 35 weeks on Sunday! Have an ultrasound Monday, start weekly apts including weekly nst tests start next week. And....my shower is tomorrow!
Qotw: I have become attached to maternity clothes! Is that weird? I have always been hard to fit and maternity clothes are forgiving and comfy...hope I can give them up! Lol.

38w3d and ready to meet this baby! Weekly OB appointments at this point and hoping for progress at each appointment!
QOTW: I think I will miss the feeling of the baby move in my belly and spend a lot of time each night just feeling and watching it move. I also feel like I can protect her from a lot while she's in here and I think that will make me sad that I can't anymore!
38.1 weeks today and despite having a complete previa it looks like the OB thinks I will be making it all the way to the end! This time next week I'll be holding my baby girl....can't wait!
EXTREMELY uncomfortable with tons of hip, tailbone and back pain and numerous BH contractions. Definitely counting down the hours until baby's arrival. Have one final appointment next Tuesday and then c/s at noon on the 16th!
QOTW: Despite all the aches, pains and extra worries with this pg I think I will miss this moment in time as a whole because it very likely could be our last baby. With out last DD everything came so easy and I took so much for granted so I've tried very hard not to repeat those mistakes again and to enjoy the moment as much as I can.

Hello, all! Thanks for taking over the check-in, amb! Congrats, mlamping! Sending hugs to those who need them this week!
I'm 33w4d today. Next appointment is on Wednesday. I'm doing okay, but I have to admit that the discomforts of pregnancy are definitely escalating lately... I'm looking forward to my showers the next two weekends and trying to take it easy and read up on parenting, BFing, etc.
QOTW: I will miss a lot of things about being pregnant - many of which you ladies have already mentioned. I will also miss feeling his hiccups. He gets them at 2-4 times a day, and it's just so cute.
*** Trigger Warnings ***
TTC #1 since March 2011
Dx = Unexplained IF 1 medicated TI cycle & 4 clomid IUIs = all BFNs
June 2013 IVF #1 = 6 frosties + BFP! DS1 born 2/14
TTC #2 since December 2014 May 2015 unassisted BFP ended in m/c at 7wks April 2016 FET #1 = BFN June 2016 FET #2 = c/p August 2016 FET #3 = BFP! DS2 born 4/17
I'm 36+3 today, I had an u/s yesterday to look at LO's R kidney (at 28 weeks they thought he might have mild hydronephrosis). Kidney looked good, he was head down and EFW was 6#. I went to my weekly OB after, I'm 1cm and very soft. My GBS culture from last week was neg. I had to start taking Valtrex prophalaxysis since I have a hx of HSV (making me feel a little yucky). Starting to get excited!!
I'm 36 weeks today and had my first weekly exam. Wow, that internal check and culture for GBS sure was uncomfortable! LO is still pretty high up and doesn't feel like he'll be dropping anytime soon; cervix is thick and sealed up.
OB went over the details of MFMs sonogram report (not sure why he didn't do that last week) and said that while LO's head is measuring a week ahead, and he's got really long legs, his torso is right on track and I can stop fearing immense labor pain from giant baby (I still think he'll be a painful 10+ lbs. at birth though).
QOTW: I'll miss the excuse of eating ice cream and cheese "for baby's calcium" intake before I go back to dairy-free eating. I also will miss the lack of sinus (or possibly they were hormonal) headaches.
I am 31 weeks and will be starting my ob visits every 2 weeks. I have an appointment to meet our pediatrician soon. I have been feeling well lately aside from back and hip pain if I stand to long.
QOTD: I will miss feeling the baby in my belly the most.
