2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?

3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.

Re: ***Wednesday Ticker Change***

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 36 weeks, honeydew

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? I get a new symptom everyday.  I feel like I am the text book pregnant lady, I super love my new cankles. Hate being sick, especially on top of being pregnant.  I crave all that is forbidden due to the GD.  I see MFM on Friday.

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.  
    For reals, my brain has given up all hope.  My hope is that this is temporary.  Also, I so want to stay home today but I have so much work to do and need to hoard all the pto I can.  Sorry I am such a Debbie Downer this morning.

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)

    33 weeks, Durian (i propose we change these fruit/veggie comparisons...)

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?
    Aches and pains and more aches. poss BH. heartburn all the time. OB appt tmmw afternoon. no real cravings (not more than pre-preg anyway). Now I just give in to the cravings instead of pushing them deep deep down inside.
    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.
    Last day of work is 10/6 and i've already checked out. I spend maybe 2 hours a day doing actual work (and i'm a manager...). my head is totally in babyland. Thinking about what his face looks like, how smushed he probably is, wondering if i'm man enough to deal with labor without meds, his smell, how warm and wiggly and lovey and squirmy wormy he will be.  Hoping that he won't take after his daddy and be a huge baby with a giant noggin...

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)  

    35  weeks, so coconut.  

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments?  
    My back started hurting today.  I wonder is Schroeder turned around and now putting pressure on my back.  Ouch!  Weekly MFM and OB appointments start this week.  

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.  
    DH ended up working 14 hours yesterday to support a software release for his project.  He didn't get home until almost 10 pm and had to go back into work this morning.  At least this release is almost done so hopefully some of his stress will go down.

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)  36/Honeydew - HOW are there only 4 weeks left?!

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Appointment this afternoon.  I think I have my group B strep test today, so I'll be sure and report back on that loveliness.  I want candy all the time.  With DH's stomach issues for the last week and a half, I've mostly been living on candy, cookies, and Special K cereal anyway.  No new symptoms - I'm still exhausted and my vag is still swollen and sore.  Good times.

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.  My brain is pretty mushy, too.  I know that I have stuff to wrap up at work before I leave, but I haven't really grasped the fact that I'm actually leaving in a couple of weeks for a couple of months off.  I took 4 months of maternity leave before, but this time, I sort of can't imagine actually not being here for that long.

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 36 weeks, honeydew (yuck)

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Tons of RLP and BH, some lightening crotch, sciatic nerve pain. Instead of being uncomfortable, things have taken a turn for the slightly painful. Been craving gross food like Tuna Helper (which I don't even like, but I ate a whole box of on Sunday). I have my 36 week appointment today at 10:30!

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts. I am trying super hard not to bring up being widowed and stuff all the time, but the first few pages of the Wednesday Randoms thread made me cry, so I'm going to stay out of them until maybe after lunch. I also hate making people think I'm just looking for sympathy, but I've been super sad for maybe 10 days in a row, and I just can't deal.

  • @windwithfingers I'm sorry you've been down lately. I say you type whatever you want to! I think people get that sometimes you just need to vent or be sad. You shouldn't have to censor yourself! And I don't think people think you're just looking for sympathy when you bring up that you lost your H, it's a very big thing that you're dealing with at the moment! 

    1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie)  35 weeks! Some sort of squash/melon I can't remember

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? My back is seriously killing me. Otherwise I just want to TP everyone lately. All the comments about how people think my baby is going to be big! And my feet! Just shut up. 

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts.  In all seriousness how am I going to make it the rest of this 5 weeks?

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? I'm so uncomfortable, all the time! LO dropped last week and it's just intensified all of the aches & pains. I want to eat everything. Dr appointment tomorrow. 

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts. I really hope I don't go over my due date this time.  
    @windwithfingers Tons of creepy internet hugs!

  • @windwithfingers: You can bring up your sadness anytime IMHO. I can't even begin to imagine how hard all of this is for you. It is ok to feel sad because something totally shitty and life changing happened in your life.

    I know you are more that a widow but sometimes that is going to be the part that comes through the most right now as it is still so fresh and emotions are running high.

    I can't speak from personal experience but I do know that there will be better days mixed in with the shitty days in your future.

    Big creepy internet hugs to you!

  • @windwithfingers
    I'm so sorry, I didn't know about your DH.  I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through emotionally, but please don't feel like you need to censor yourself or can't talk freely about it here.  You undoubtedly have a lot to handle right now, and if we can help support you, we're here.

    (((Big creepy internet hugs from me too.)))

  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 36, honeydew.

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Still dealing with morning sickness, oh well. Definitely have some hip pain at night, but I feel pretty good during the day as far as aches and pains go.

    3. GTKY:  My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts. My daughters are having their birthday party this weekend, it's Frozen themed. I stayed up until 1am last night putting snowflake decals and kids' names on plastic mason jars. I go party crazy.

    Twice weekly NSTs, contractions that leave me breathless, hip pain at night, coworkers that won't shut up ever, stomach pains, chocolate

    I have nothing random. Too sleepy

    @windwithfingers‌ You should always feel free to share what's on your mind.

  • Thanks, ladies. I didn't mean to hijack this thread! I just usually use this board as an escape, so the first few pages of the Randoms thread hit me sort of hard. I'll be all right. <3

  • 36 weeks honeydew melon.

    I just got back from my doctors appt and I am 2cm dilated and 50%effaced. He is really worried about the swelling in my feet and legs. My BP is fine and no protein in my urine. He told me to keep a close watch on my BP and if it goes up any to come in. I go back next week to be checked again.

    I have not been sleeping, headaches, back pain just started, BH and hip and pelvic pain are now more than uncomfortable. Also I have noticed that I have been a real bitch to everyone and my face has been broke out. I lost part or all of my mucus plug yesterday. So I have just about every symptom you could have.

    On a side note I have a friend that is a week behind me that had to be induced last night due to toxemia. Her baby weighed 3lbs. And 13 oz. they are doing fine for now, but please keep them in your prayers.

    Also I guess I was totally not getting this ticker thing until someone told me (glad they did). So I had been posting in this just whenever. So maybe now I will get it right!
  • 1. How many weeks are you?/How big is baby? (Fruit/Veggie) 33 weeks. Wtf is a durian?

    2. Symptoms, Rants, Cravings, Appointments? Serious back and hip pain. Super sleepy.

    3. GTKY: My brain is mush, give me your random thoughts. My hemorrhoid is growing :( I don't know how to make it go away.

  • @amstevens78‌ . Sorry you feel so crappy. Hope you get some rest and some comfort soon. T's and P's for your friend and her lo.

    @SuperSuz‌ sorry about the hemi situation. I had something nasty flair up last week. The oh so glamorous feelings of being super pregnant.
  • 1. How big are you/How big is baby? 35 weeks, so coconut

    2. Symptoms/Rants/Cravings/Appointments: terrible back pain, legs ache, hips hurt, pubic bone pain, occasional cyatic pain, severe itching (currently waiting on lab work to r/o cholestasis), BH especially at work, and just generalized crampiness... I feel like such a whiny butt lately. Twice weekly US and NSTs... next one is this morning after work.

    3. Random thoughts: I can't wait to be done with work... it gets harder and harder to Come in every day.... I'll make it though, I know I will!
