How far along are you?
26 weeks (lettuce)

How are you feeling?
The back pain (thank you scoliosis) has been getting to me lately. My body is totally beat at the end of the day and I have just begun this phase of pregnancy. Feeling a little defeated some days and not sure if I'm really gonna make it all the way, as far as working goes, but I really want to/ need to. But still chugging along and doing my best.

Any big changes this week?
I started prenatal yoga yesterday. Hoping this helps the above.

Do you have any appointment updates or news?
I passed my 1 hr glucose screening!!

Do you need any T&Ps for anything?
Nope

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon?
I live in south Florida and have worn a jacket only 2 days this "winter" so this question doesn't really apply to me lol. I am hitting up the beach this weekend with friends, if the rain stays away. I am looking forward to it!

chknma · March 2014

@maydaygirl590 hope this week has been better for you!

How far along are you? 34 weeks

How are you feeling?
insomnia and intermittent aches and pains. I start to go down hill around 8 pm. emotionally I've been good PGALwise, but GD wise it's been a roller coaster. I'm tring to reframe my thinking towards a health baby/mom attitude and have been going back in my Mindful Birthing book which has been helpful.

@MrsWallick - I do feel like prenatal yoga has made a big difference. hope you find the same!

Any big changes this week?
not that I can think of

Do you have any appointment updates or news?
Had an extra MW appointment yesterday due to rising GD fasting numbers. I'm now on meds at bedtime (was the same with DD at the end) plus they plan on having weekly appointments and u/s or testing done through the end. not excited to have two appointments a week, but hoping that if things continue to look good then I won't be encouraged for an induction.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything?
nope, doing okay

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon?
ninthgirl - looking forward to more time outside with DD. fresh air and running makes such a difference. I think we're all getting cabin fever after this long, cold and snowy winter.

MrsHamon09 · March 2014

Hi! @maydaygirl590‌ Only a few weeks left how exciting! If no one else wants to run the check in I do not mind doing it.

How many weeks/days? 16 weeks size of avocado!

How are you feeling? Pretty good getting dizzy, headaches everyday, and having a hard time getting more than 4-5 hours of sleep at night leaving me exhausted.

Any big changes this week? not that I can think of

Any appointment updates/news? Today had my 16w check up HB was in the 140's!! Anatomy scan on 4/11 only 2 weeks away!!!

Any T&P? Just that I can get some sleep andthe constant headaches ease up soon!

QOTW? I am looking forward to not being cold! Also getting outside and walking more I just cant bring myself to do it with it being 30 at night.

mmhusted · March 2014

How far along are you? 15 Weeks

How are you feeling? tired. Not sleeping too well

Any big changes this week? Not really

Do you have any appointment updates or news? Monday is the next appt. Im asking for the anti nausea meds. 3 months of vomiting at midnight is starting to get really old.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? that the meds work and I can get some sleep!

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? All my maternity clothes (especially tops for work) from last time are mostly spring and summer. I'm looking forward to not wearing the same 5 or 6 longer "normal" sweaters and shirts that cover the elastic of my maternity pants!

samm1983 · March 2014

How far along are you? 30 weeks today!

How are you feeling? Good, but worried I'm getting a stomach bug again. I've had a painful, crampy stomach since the middle of the night.

Any big changes this week? I have been sleeping a little better the last few nights after a few weeks of not sleeping well at all.

Do you have any appointment updates or news? Had an appt today, nothing next week and then starting weekly appts again. Crazy!

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? Getting outside! I need it! I can't wait to go for a walk outside. I think it will help me feel better.

mmhusted · March 2014

LOL I am so sorry! I am 16 weeks not 15 weeks!

MrsHamon09 · March 2014

ninthgirl said:
@MrsHamon09 - we are a/s date twins! I'll be thinking of you. What time is yours?

Mine is 3:30 eastern time. I will be thinking of you that day!

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

@ninthgirl- That's ok. I knew with the Bible Study Check-In that it'd be a bit much for you. Sorry the m/s is still hanging around. How stinky. I hope it goes away soon, like today! Also sorry to hear about the BH's flaring up again. Have you talked to your doctor about a manganese/clacium supplement? That's what personally helped my BHs. Hope baby keeps thumping away for you! No more scares ninthbaby. Prayers that your a/s on the 11th goes well.

@MrsWallick- Sorry to hear about the back pain. I hope the yoga helps. I know it's helped my hip pain. Yay that your glucose test went well and that you passed!

@chknma- I'm sorry to hear about the insomnia and aches and pains. I'm right there with you! I hope you can get some much needed sleep tonight. Prayers that your GD numbers stay stable and that you'll be able to get the birth you want. Keep on chugging, mama!

@MrsHamon09- The check-in is all yours if you're willing to run it! I feel better knowing someone's going to take it over in a couple of weeks. Sorry to hear about the dizziness, exhaustion, and headaches. No fun. Yay for a great 16 week appointment! Prayers that you get some much needed sleep tonight and the headaches and dizziness will subside right now. Also, that you'll have an amazing a/s on the 11th as well. ETA: forgot to add that of you have any questions about running the check-in feel free to PM me.

@mmhusted- Hey, you're a whole week farther along than you thought! Sorry to hear that you're not sleeping well. Prayers that the m/s will let up and you'll get some much needed sleep soon.

@samm1983- Oh no! Rest up and keep that virus at bay! Glad to hear you've been getting some sleep.

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies. I've been doing much better this week.

How far along are you? 36 weeks

How are you feeling? Tired. Achy. Insomnia is in full force. Been having contractions on and off since Saturday. Not that that means anything.

Any big changes this week? I'm down to only a few maternity shirts and 1 pair of pants. Even my DH's shirts are no longer fitting.

Do you have any appointment updates or news? A little irritated with my midwife, because I haven't had an appointment with her in almost a month now. I know she's a midwife, and she's been delivering babies, but I don't really feel like I've gotten the care I needed or wanted this time around, especially coming off of a loss. We're paying $2000 our of pocket for this, and I can count on one hand how many visits I've had with her. Hopefully, I'll get an appointment next Tuesday, which I'm not happy about waiting that long. Sorry for the long rant, I guess I needed to get that off my chest.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? For energy that I'll be able to get the things done that need to accomplished before this baby comes, like painting my room and getting some sewing projects finished up.

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? Getting the kids out of the house to run off all this pent up energy they have. Also looking forward to getting into these flower beds and cleaning them out and planting new flowers.

Super Chicken · March 2014

How far along are you? 40 weeks

How are you feeling? Good.

Any big changes this week? Not yet.

Do you have any appointment updates or news? I have a scheduled induction if she is not here by next Wednesday. I am still hoping that she will make her appearance before then.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? Just that things continue to go smoothly.

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? The sunshine on my face and trips to the coast.

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

@SuperChicken- Happy due-date day! Glad to hear things are going well. Prayers that baby makes her appearance soon, like maybe tonight? And that things will continue to go smoothly for you. And more prayers that your labor and delivery will go smoothly and easily and that you will feel strong and at peace throughout the process.

kathleensam · March 2014

@maydaygirl590 - thanks for running this check in!
MrsWallick - I remember feeling the same way at 26 weeks. One foot in front of the other

@SuperChicken - Happy 40 weeks!
T&P's to everyone dealing with insomnia and sickness.

How far along are you? 38 weeks

How are you feeling? I'm having horrible heartburn. Rib pains. Pelvic pains. Lots and lots of pains. The only thing to feel any better is my sciatic. It's not gone, but it's better! (and omg I'll take any improvement)

Any big changes this week? Just the heartburn, which is now constant.
Do you have any appointment updates or news? Nothing really new. Just waiting.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? It's been a rough month. My FIL passed away. Our hot water tank broke the day of the funeral. My MIL started her radiation treatment which she has every day and we have to figure out how to get her to. DH dropped and shattered his phone. A bunch more little things. It's been a draining and expensive month. And I am freaking out because I desperately need a break mentally and physically, which I will not get. Because I am having a baby. And I am so close to the end and incredibly anxious that something is going to go wrong. I feel like I should be enjoying that last bit of my pregnancy, but I am falling apart. Sorry to unload, T&Ps would be appreciated. Any advice?

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? Seeing all my spring bulbs come up in my garden.

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

@kathleensam- Yay that your sciatic is much improved! Sorry to hear about the heartburn though. Also sorry to hear about your FIL. I don't have any good advice. Is it possible for and your DH to get away just for a couple of hours? I know you said it's been an expensive month. Is there anyway to go out to eat? Or maybe a picnic at home? To the park? Walk around a mall and go window shopping? My DH and I like to go thrift shopping or to the antique mall. Or maybe just you could take a nice, long relaxing bath tonight? It sounds like you NEED to take a break. If even just for an hour. ((Hugs)) And lots of prayers that things will calm down and that peace will be restored to you and your family as your going through some difficult things and you will both find wisdom sorting out unexpected financial matters. Glad to hear your pregnancy is going well otherwise.

dragonfly711 · March 2014

Thanks for doing the check in!!! Think I have missed a week or so. Been so busy. We redid the nursery and just now finishing the bathroom. Been fraY here!!!

How far along are you? (please include EDD if you are new here)
28 weeks 6/19/14 eggplant.
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good.
Any big changes this week? Nope
Do you have any appointment updates or news? Had my glucose test Tuesday passed!!! Low iron so have to take supplement
Do you need any T&Ps for anything? So far so good.
QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon?
Last day of school/work June 6. Then wait for my little girl:)

nightowl1989 · March 2014

How far along are you? Guess I'm 10wks today, huh...finally double-digits!

How are you feeling? Symptom-wise, extremely tired, emotional, light-headed, and shaky. I've got some nausea, but I think that's the antibiotics.

Any big changes this week? Nope

Do you have any appointment updates or news? Had my first appt last Friday. Went great and I got to see sweetpea! DH and I joked around a bit that the way she took the pics made it look like two babies were in there. Aside from that, I'm on antibiotics because they found Strep B in my urine culture, so I apparently have a UTI.

Do you need any T&Ps for anything? You know, I would love some to help me have the strength to make my bosses more understanding.

QOTW: What are you looking forward to the most about the warmer weather that should be happening soon? I love to garden (don't worry I use gloves)! I'm really looking forward to watching the flowers bloom and getting to plant the vegetables I started from seed a few weeks ago.

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

@dragonfly711- Happy 3rd tri! Yay for passing your glucose test. Glad to hear your pregnancy is going well so far.

@nightowl1989- Happy double digits day! Sounds like you have a lot of first-tri symptoms. As reassuring as those are, it's still no fun. So glad to hear your first appointment went well! Sorry to hear about the UTI! Hopefully, it clears up soon. Prayers that you will find the strength and wisdom you need concerning whatever matter is it you need to address with your bosses.

kathleensam · March 2014

Thanks @maydaygirl590 - I am feeling a little less panicky this morning. Maybe I just had to spend a little time freaking out. DH and I are going to sit down and prioritize our time this weekend. Lists make me feel calmer. I don't think we will get out this weekend (I am still on a rest order) but the goal is to spend some time focusing on baby things and not family stuff/water tanks/etc. Hopefully the universe complies

sunshineinmay09 · March 2014

@kathleensam- will keep praying for you that you and your husband will be covered with peace, and grace, and wisdom. I'm glad to hear you guys have got a game plan! Hang in there.
