Re: Teeeeam Greeeeen Check-In
I will be 38 weeks on Friday!!! Feeling good - well, sore, tired, etc but overall I'm not complaining!
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
Um, everything! I should go do that now.
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
My RCS is scheduled for April 4th - a week from Friday!!
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex?
Go for it! It makes it such a fun experience - it makes finding out early seem like peeking at your Christmas presents. Why spoil the surprise??
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess!
Not really! I wish! I'm still doing as much as possible but I told DH last night that next week I am not doing anything! No laundry, cooking or tidying! Easier said than done with a toddler in the house though, lol.
What's left to put in your hospital bag? Everything
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Just two NST's this week & seeing the DR.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? It is so worth waiting for, I think it is fun not knowing, also a plus is the DR's are just as excited along with you, since no one really waits anymore.
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess! Totally did this yesterday I had to go to the other side of the building and I was totally not feeling it, I begged the person to come to me.
What's left to put in your hospital bag? Just last minute stuff like iphones and chargers.
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Just a weekly checkup this afternoon.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? It's hard but I think it will be worth it in the end.
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess! Yes, I had my husband put a pair of socks on me the other day.
What's left to put in your hospital bag? Uh, everything. We're planning a home birth, so it's not as crucial, but I still want to pack a small one just in case there's an emergency or complication and we end up having to go to the hospital....
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Midwives appointment on Thurs but that's about it.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? It's such a personal decision, she should just do whatever she and her SO feel is right. I'd share our positive experiences with not finding out for both pregnancies though.
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Pssh! Of course! How about basically all laundry for the past 9 months? Haha!
How far along are you and how are you feeling?
I am 37w2d today. Woot woot! I'm feeling pretty energetic today; have been going around the apartment, cleaning, sewing and dancing to Bob Marley with my big baby belly. I felt some major dropping last night, including some baby kicks in my butt/lower pelvis.
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
Snacks for the hubster, clothes for me to change into, chargers and my birthing ball...but let's face it, that isn't going to fit into any kind of bag :-)
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
Have my 37 week check up on Thursday where we'll find out/confirm baby's position.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex?
Like PP, it's a personal decision but...there are SO FEW genuine surprises in life. Why spoil the good ones? This is the reason we opted to wait. Also, you won't be any less prepared in figuring out how to take care of your LO; you'll either wipe up or wipe down when it's time to change the diaper.
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess!
hospital bag: LOA paperwork in case labor starts before my next appointment, hair brush, razor (I cannot handle more than a day of unshaven armpits) and makeup. I think that's it.
upcoming: hopefully labor. If not an appt on Thursday & induction on Monday.
For a newly pregnant FTM: I peaked at the sex the first time- no regrets, but I'm glad I'm actually doing team green this time.
pregnancy card: using it to throw MILs guilt trips back at her ("ohhh, we reallllllly wish you would come for xxxx" "that sounds great! But we'll see, I'm pretty uncomfortable/exhausted") and DH pretty much has me on bed rest so he can get through a big meeting on Wednesday, but that's more him than me.
What's left to put in your hospital bag? Everything
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? GBS test at appointment this week. Can't say I'm looking forward to that. More excitingly, yesterday was exactly a month until the due date.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? It is completely your choice, but the excitement for me has built and is still building because we're so close to finding out who this little person is.
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess! I don't carry near as many groceries into the house any more. DH is a good sport though.
What's left to put in your hospital bag? Mine and Baby's overnight bag still needs toiletries. My labor bag is still empty, should probably work on that this week(end)
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? I had my GBS test yesterday. Then when I asked the Doc if the baby had turned, he couldn’t find the head. So we did a quick U/S to determine that Baby had not only turned, but had dropped too.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? The anticipation is totally worth not finding out. It’s really fun to hear everyone’s guesses. It’s a personal decision, but one that you need to decide together with DH and you need to make the decision and let it go. If you stress about it, you might eventually cave.
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess! I have DH put away everything that goes on the lower cabinets b/c I “can’t” get down that low – well now I really can’t but like 3-4 weeks ago I still could, but made him.
35 + 2, hanging in there, except I'm losing my mucus plug and it's gross! Also ribs are in constant pain, and pelvis is all out of wack, some days worse than others. Sleeping is illusive due to all the peeing and waking up feeling like something is trying to spread my ribs. Otherwise I'm still mobile, still working out 3x/week, and still working!
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
Everything! We had house guests this past week, and another one this coming weekend, so I'll start after that. I have a nice list though.
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
OB appt this Thurs, plus I have GD so I have to send in my diet record and blood sugar numbers every week. Annoying.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex?
Do it! It's so much fun, despite everyone else saying how they couldn't possibly wait, and all the people who are constantly trying to guess the sex based on how I'm carrying. DH and I wanted this to be a surprise!
And just for fun-

37 weeks tomorrow and still feeling good, just moving slower
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
The only thing in it so far is clothes. Slowly packing it, although the baby's bag is ready to go!
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
Had an appointment today, just playing the waiting game according to my midwife. Will still be a couple weeks before she even asks to check and see if anything is happening.
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex?
I've definitely enjoyed it, but I know it isn't for everyone (DH included)! I probably won't be able to convince him to do it again, but so many people have been excited for us because we chose to wait!
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done?
I feel like other people use it for me! DH actually said last night that he won't get to spoil me too many times, so he's doing as much as he can.
37w 5d, tired yet energized and feeling pressure and cramping. Since most things are done that are important I'm feeling ready for this baby to come.
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
everything but toiletries
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
Dr. did a quick sono scan today to check if the head was down because he wanted to double check what he felt on the outside. I quickly reminded him I don't want to know and he turned the monitor around. The head was pretty low which is why he didn't feel it! Yay!

What's left to put in your hospital bag? We finally packed bags this weekend. Just have those last minute things to put in there - eye glasses, phone charger, etc.
Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Have my weekly NST tomorrow. Also have a growth scan. Hoping Baby A's weight has gone up. Otherwise, I may be having these babies a little sooner than I planned. Very nervous about the appointment tomorrow. I really want to make it until April before these babies make an appearance!
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex? It has been so much fun. Not only do you get the best anticipation and surprise ever, but you get to drive everyone else crazy because they can't know the sex either!
And just for fun-
Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess! Not really. I've been told I should be using the pregnancy card more - especially because I'm pregnant with twins. Every time I've pulled the pregnancy card, it's been legit.
-37 weeks today
What's left to put in your hospital bag?
- a onesie and cardstock for baby's footprints
Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
- Was told I had cholestatis last Monday and will need to be induced at 37 weeks. Been taking the non-stress test 2x a week. My dr's appt in the morning will determine my induction date which will most likely be Thursday. So nervous!!!
What would you say to a newly pregnant FTM who is considering waiting to find out the sex?
- Do it! It's been exciting and love hearing everyone's guesses.
And just for fun- Have you used your "pregnancy card" to get out of doing something that you totally could have done? Confess!
- Yes, I haven't had to walk the dogs! My sweet hubby had to go out of town one wknd and hired a dog walker just so I didn't have to get out of bed. He's been doing everything around the house from cooking to cleaning. I love being this spoiled.
38 weeks tomorrow.... or in 1 hour haha. Had a pretty awesome week actually! Super uneventful. I guess I had a headache on Saturday night but I blame that on the cake I ate. I'm not a big sugar person and I just needed some cake so I indulged.... and then sugar headache. I think it was a fair trade-off.

This question is tough for me because I did not want to be team green at all but my DH was really adamant that he wanted to be surprised. We talked about it a lot and agreed that for the first one we would be team green and for future pregnancies we would find out the gender. It's been a very long road and I'm dying to find out what LO is!!
