Hi ladies!
Good luck Everyone!
((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!!
This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community
and is currently pregnant.
If there are any newcomers that would like to be added to the list, post below and include you EDD and how many beans you have cooking.
Checkin is every Tuesday, feel free to post updates all week.
Q: Where do you want to grow old? Arizona? Would you want to live in assisted living?
Blueberries8-11/25-19+1 today...thankfully everything has been pretty uneventful lately. My PPROM milestone with Naava and Aminadav is this week. I will be so happy to hopefully get past it...I am pretty anxious, knowing the next 9ish weeks are super critical but psychologically, I think I will be able to better distinguish between the two twin pregnancies once I am past the gestation at which I lost N&A. I've had 2 good cervical length measurements since the borderline one. I am just exhausted by the end of the day (morning is my most functional time) and I am already getting sooo big. Feeling very, very thankful things are pretty boring right now.
Byrne15-10/14-I'm due on Dec 27th and will be 30 weeks tomorrow. This baby is a girl and will be our 3rd and final. Everything has gone very well this pregnancy and I'm looking forward to our Christmas time baby!
djma81-11/25-6w4d today! Had first US with RE yesterday.....just one little bean!! Woohoo!! Heartbeat good...119. Go back for another 12/8.
Ducky719-EDD 3/8/15 -12/1-Both of my appts went well today. Baby girl is measuring right on track: 26w1d, 1lb 15oz. My OB is also very happy w how i am measuring and w my bp. I go back in 2 weeks for my glucose screening and then onto twice a month appts. Eeeek!! Anyway, next u/s is 6 weeks from now to check on growth.
Itsmevkb-11/4-I'm 14 weeks today and feeling good about moving past my latest loss week. I had my NT scan done and everything looked good. In fact, my doctor says I have the same risk as a 29 year-old so hey, it feels good to be 29 again at least in something. I'm getting huge already but there's something comforting to me about maternity clothes and actually looking pregnant. At 16 weeks I'll have a cervical length check.
Jenny935-12/1-26 weeks on Tuesday! I know from my online chart that my GD test came back within normal limits, but I don't have an appt til next week. Occasionally having panic ridden moments about how on earth we're going to survive having a toddler and a newborn!
Julie21613-My EDD is 7/21/15-12/1-I'm 7w4days today and had my first u/s. 2 beans cooking away measuring right on track. Very excited but also a little bit terrified of 3 under 2!
Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) 7/22 sorry its been a while life is crazy here right
now, and i dont see it letting up till maybe november! 35 weeks now, and baby
will be here in 26 days! I cant believe its so soon!!! Been rough with
contractions and sickness making a return... Only a few more weeks!
KDR1919- EDD 4/16/15-8/12 I'm very early, 5 weeks tomorrow. EDD 4/16/15. My ultrasound is scheduled for 8/25. I'm still taking estradiol and progesterone 3 x daily. I don't feel pregnant and this doesn't seem real yet! It is hard to believe that it took 12 embryos over 5 transfers to get my twins and this pregnancy is from 1 single frozen embryo?!?
KMC84-EDD4/11/15-11/25-20 weeks! A/s on Monday showed a healthy baby girl! Things are pretty good, minus heartburn. I'm also on my 3rd cold in 2 months
Lynnyloo-11/25-8w3d today, thankfully no more bleeding since last Monday, next appointments on the 9th with OB and 15th with the MFM.
LuvBoston, EDD 3/9/15-12/1-26 weeks 3 days feeling ok.
mdiblasi10 –EDD 1/30/15- 12/1-32 weeks and feeling huge these last few days! I have OB appointments every two weeks now. Once December 1st hit, I realized that I could say she will be here NEXT month. Whoa!! It's definitely a bittersweet realization for me.
Mayzie15- EDD 2/01/15-12/1-31 weeks and can't believe it! I'm feeling lots of kicks especially at night this baby will be a night owl for sure. I can't believe in a few months I will have 2 under 2 - that still panics me lol. We are getting ready to head tout to Lake Tahoe tomorrow for a mini vacation in the snow. I can't wait to see how DS reacts
Mnerani – 9/2-Headed to 36 weeks this weekend! I have just started to feel big, slow, and tired- the lovely end of third tri. Our shipment from Kenya is going to be delivered to our house on Saturday (!) which is the last big, move-related "to do" before the baby arrives. Once we get all of that stuff moved in, I know I'm going to be like "OK, baby- time to meet your family!"
Pennylane26 -Boy EDD 11.26.14 –11/11-Thanks for all of the kind words last week ladies! So I was put on bed rest for high BP/early Pre-E symptoms on Monday but then my BP just kept going up and I spent the week on the postpartum unit in the hospital until they could get a handle on my BP meds. I was discharged Thursday afternoon and am on restricted activity. BP is ok, not great (a little high) so as of now I'm taking my meds religiously and hoping to put off an induction for a bit longer (my ticker is off, I am 36w4d). I would love to make it to 39w although I'm not sure that is going to happen!
Racheyt0277-EDD.6.22.15-12/1-I'm 11w2d. I had the Panorama test last Wed & just waiting for results! My NT scan is Dec 8th.
srveatch –11/18- I just had my last visit before induction day on Tuesday. Baby brother seems happy and healthy and I am still 3cm dilated and holding steady so I guess I will make it til Tuesday which is alright with me. I like to plan things I can't wait to meet this little guy but I am getting nervous about how I will handle being a mother of two and a wife and working full time. It all seems so overwhelming. QOTW: We usually bring her favorite toys for the ride and let her play apps on the iPad. We have found some free Educational apps made by Tiny Hands that she loves. They are puzzles and matching games. We also try to leave during sleeping or napping times. She is a great car sleeper so it works out well. We haven't flown with her yet but have flying trips coming up in February and in June and it will be both of them.
Robeano-EDD 2/3/15- 12/1-31 weeks now. My referall with the OB went well. She gave me a 50-60% success rate for a VBAC. So around what I expected. She personally doesn't allow her patients to go past 40 weeks, or if the baby is suspected to be bigger than 8.8lbs. So lots to talk to my midwife about at the next appointment.
Babies are HERE!!!
CCAM-Congrats it’s a girl!
