Symptoms? Questions? I'm not sure if I'm having BH or just weird cramps that feel like menstrual cramps... it's in my lower back though, not in the front. Not sharp or painful, just noticeable. I have just been upping my water intake and keeping an eye on it.
Upcoming appointments? Just had a growth u/s yesterday!
What are you looking forward to this week? Baby-wise, it was the growth ultrasound. It was so amazing to see LO in 3d (wasn't expecting to) and to know she is almost 4lbs and head down. So many sighs of relief from just one appointment.
GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Nope, not even close. I did start making a list, though. I will probably pack it closer to 36 weeks.
Symptoms? Questions? Constipation has returned woohoo. Trouble sleeping, but that may be because DH had surgery and I'm hyper-vigilant about hurting him
Upcoming appointments? May 9 for 36wk w Group B strep swab blargh
What are you looking forward to this week? Our shower is tomorrow, Mat photos on Wed, and we find out on Friday if he's head down for sure or not
GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Nope. Waiting on the shower tomorrow, then will wash the clothes and blankets etc and get things organized and packed. We have (almost) everything we need, so NBD.

GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Nope. And it probably won't be for another six weeks!

GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Ummm... I have a bag and stuff, but they have not met each other yet.
Symptoms? Questions? Spent 5 hours in L&D last night for contractions that were 3-5 minutes apart. Because I was a day shy of 35 weeks, they have me terbutaline to stop them. Didn't work, and still contracting this morning.

Fruit or other size comparison? Squash+3 weeks so I'm not sure?
Symptoms? Questions? Contractions/cramping have started to pick up more over the last few days. Hoping he can hang in there just a bit longer! Otherwise general boob leakiness, increased sarcasm and less sleep. Nothing I can't live with.
Upcoming appointments? Next Wednesday we have another cervical length and then ob appointment. Hoping things have remained steady.
What are you looking forward to this week? The weather looks like it will be nicer finally and getting to see/hear little man.
GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Yeah.... it has been for a long time. I never know when the PTL monster is going to rear its ugly head.
Symptoms? Questions? I'm also having tightness (BH?) in my lower belly. Every now and again I'll get a sharp pain. Nothing major or consistent.
Upcoming appointments? Biweekly on Wednesday. I will go with my list of questions.
What are you looking forward to this week? Now that we're in home stretch, I'm trying to savor the last pieces of quiet in the house. We finish child birth classes this week.
GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? Nope. Now that I learned that I need a labor bag (small) and a delivery bag (large), I have to get my list together. Also, I'm saving it for something to do around 36 weeks.
How many weeks? 33 weeks (due 6/21) Fruit or other size comparison?Dorian, which I would love to try since Anthony Bourdain makes such a big deal out of it, but DH is afraid of the smell and never lets me but it.
Symptoms? Questions?Had a little scare this week, and ended up in L&D for a NST. Everything was fine, but really made things real for me. Was also lectured (A LOT) about not waiting so long next time, so I plan to take that to heart. Lots of resting in my future, as my body feels so sore. I was on my feet for all of an hour today, and I am feeling it tonight!
Upcoming appointments?I get ultrasounds every Friday, and meet with the social worker and psychologist. That is all this week, and will meet with the MFM next week (5/9 and 5/16). I should get to schedule the c section date this week! That is very exciting for me, I can actually make plans for work! What are you looking forward to this week? My appointment, lol. I just want to know the plan! Also, I think I am going to schedule a massage one day, I need one so badly. Still debating though. And finally, I have my fingers crossed the babys dresser will be delivered this week - that would be awesome! GTKY: Is your hospital bag packed yet? No, but it really should be. DH and I were have a shared list of things we want to bring with us, now we need to round them all up. I am thinking this is another thing we will do this week. I think we just feel comfortable because the csection is planned so much earlier, but my doctors keep reminding me - anything can happen. I just don't WANT anything to happen, so I think I keep ignoring that possibility.
