Re: baby bump check in 4/21/15
2. Weekly appointments nothing exciting. Started epo last week and ns this week. Next appointment is Monday (38w)
3. I'm miserable. I didn't get a cervical check yesterday, and now I wish I had. I think I maaaaay be having some signs of early labor, buy not convinced just yet. However, lots of contractions, nauseous, overall feeling yuck, headache, baby has dropped a lot, just waiting to become consistent.
4. Dear god someone give me a red beer already!!!!!
2. Just had my 34 week appointment and the midwife was happy with my weight gain of 28 lbs. Baby girl is a good healthy size, head down, very active and has a heart rate of 140 bpm. I got my 18th progesterone injection yesterday...one more to go next Monday!
3. Feeling good except occasionally hating my back and swelling legs and feet.
4. DH says he's bringing sushi for me at the hospital as so as I deliver.
2. Next weekly appointment will be on Friday to do measurements and go over the induction process some more. Last weeks appointment went well. Baby boy is head down with a healthy heart rate of 130.
3. For being this far along I am feeling pretty good, with only minor back pain and some swelling in my feet and hands.
4. I have missed deli meat like crazy. I can't wait to be able to have a sandwich or hoagie!
2. Normal appts. Wish I had a cervical exam last week, but I'm sure I'll have one this Friday. Baby is healthy, feels heavy and she's fully engaged.
3. I'm nesting like no ones business. I don't think our house can get any more clean or organized. My boyfriend is kinda being a douche lately... Drinking a lot, short tempered, and constantly asking for sex... Being very much the pig that he usually isn't. Ugh... Its wearing me down, as if I wasn't emotional enough. My MIL is coming Friday... And that stresses me out like none other. I just want all of this to be over. Physically, insomnia is the only thing really getting to me. Feel pretty good otherwise.
4. Sushi and beer... God how I miss them! Not long now!
2. Have my next appointment tomorrow. LO is head down and in an optimal position (according to my doula).
3. Overall feeling good. My last day of work was on Friday and it is so nice to be home getting ready for baby to arrive. Busy getting hospital bag packed and washing newborn clothes.
4. I honestly don't feel like I've given up that much. But I am looking forward to a medium rare steak and some over easy eggs
2. Next appointment is Monday, hoping to be sent for a growth scan for baby
3. I have had to take an early leave from work due to my long commute (Braxton hicks) and back pain.
4. Can't wait to have a coke and a Big Mac hahaha
2. I had an appointment Monday, AFI is up to 10 so we won't be inducing this week!
3. I'm feeling very flu like lately. Extra nauseous and exhausted but back hurts too much to get any rest.
4. I have been dying to try the mango mikes hard lemonade! The black cherry is my favorite but I just saw a case of mango ones, they sounded so good I almost cried in the grocery store lol!!
2. Appointments/updates? On Thursday (38+3). It's a basic check of my belly, doppler, urine sample, BP, weight etc. When I was checked at 36+4 I was 1 cm and 50% effaced. I doubt she will check me again until I go into labor.
3. How are you feeling? Uncomfortable, tired, like a turtle. I started my maternity leave a week early due to elevated BP and stress at work, so I'm home. Contractions are less this week than last week, when I was working.
4. What will be your first indulgence that you have had to give up during pregnancy after you give birth? An Italian sub from the local deli and an iced coffee from DD. I've already put in the request to my husband for the night that baby and I come home from the hospital.
2. Appointment tomorrow for gbs test. DH has been coming with me for every single appointment, but I told him to sit this one out...
3. Mentally I've felt better than ever before! Physically I'm dying. I have sciatica and it hurts to stand, walk, sit, lay down, fetch, roll over...wait, what were we talking about?
4. I told DH to have sushi on stand-by. Particularly ahi tuna sashimi (I'm allergic to shellfish). I would be happy with a publix sub too!
2. Next appt is tomorrow. Last appt I was 3 cm dilated, 70% effaced, baby head down.
3. Can't complain about how I've been feeling. I get tired of peeing so much but I'd rather do that than swell up. Still working everyday and trying to stay stretched and active to get some progress started.
4. The only thing I'm not allowed to eat is raw oysters and I dont have to have them so.. it's normal eating for me. I've taken advantage of womb service and won't be eating this carelessly once baby is here.
2) on my weekly appointments but nothing too exciting. Got checked at last appt and maybe 1cm dialated so nothing is moving lol, and won't get checked again until the week before my due date.
3) feeling alright other than waking up 5 times a night either to pee or just reposition. Have had slim to no signs of labor which is frustrating however I know I've got plenty of time
4) So badly I want a red bull I can smell them from down the hallway when someone at work cracks one open!!! Oh and just to sleep on my stomach would be GRAND!
2) Next appt is in two weeks for "macrosomia" US Bc baby is measuring big and since im doing VBAC this time they want to make sure he's not over 10lbs or I will probably have another c section. Please God no!!
3) baby dropped so I can breathe, don't have heart burn and feel lighter, but now have a hemorrhoid from all the pressure which is glorious. I'm tired, between peeing 100x a night and DH snoring I can't catch any zzzz's.
4) a glass of red wine and some sushi.
That will be nice.
2. Just had OB appt. heart rate in the 150s. Had an U/S on Monday- baby is big- 7 lb 13 oz so far! Head down.
3. I'm feeling excited/anxious. Can't wait to meet baby!
4. C/S scheduled for cinco de mayo! I may have to celebrate with a margarita! I can't wait to lay on my yummy again too!
2) Frustrated with my Dr! My next appt isn't until 38 weeks 5 days! Seems so far away and I have gone into pre labor twice so I don't understand why he would schedule me so far away. He claims its because he knows I am not going to make it that far, what kind of answer is that!
3) baby dropped and is in position. She is ready! I can breathe again. However my morning sickness and headaches are back with strong contractions. I also have flu like symptoms.
4) I am a belly sleeper. I can't wait to get a good night's sleep in my favorite belly sleeping position! Yay
2. Appointments/updates? Went yesterday, baby's heart beat was good, my blood pressure was good. Baby is head down but hasn't dropped yet
3. How are you feeling? Sore, uncomfortable, constantly have to pee, acid re flux, ready to be done!
4. What will be your first indulgance that you have had to give up during pregnancy after you give birth? Strawberry Frozen Margarita!
35 Weeks and 2 days today!
2. Appointments/updates?
I have my group B test this coming Tuesday, Oh what a joy!
3. How are you feeling?
For the most part i'm feeling awesome. Occasionally I'll have groin/pelvic pain here and there, and i'm still dragging major ass trying to get anything complete around here.
4. What will be your first indulgance that you have had to give up during pregnancy after you give birth?
2. Appointments/updates? Feeling blessed because we are turning the corner to full term and I was on bedrest for high risk of preterm labor due to history of early baby. She is measuring big too several weeks ahead! My prayers are being answered
3. How are you feeling? I'm extremely tired. Like so bloody tired.
4. What will be your first indulgance? I miss my body and the endorphins from exercising. It will be a delight to get back to feeling like myself again, but I'm so grateful to have had her "ride along" this year.
2. Had an appointment today and despite the daily contractions, losing my mucus plug/bloody show, and the constant feeling baby will fall out I'm not dilated! Just a soft cervix!
3. Im miserable! If there is a painful pregnancy symptom I have it! And they all get worse the bigger I get!
4. This is my fourth baby and I really haven't deprived myself! If I wanted a soda I had one! If I wanted a coffee I had one! Now I didn't have these daily but I did indulge every once in a while.
2) I had my 34wk apt this morning. Baby is head down. Heart beat, blood pressure, and measurements were good. Go back in 2 weeks for strep test and my first check to see if I am dialating, softening, ect.
3) Anxious. I found out today that my dr is going to be gone the whole week of my due date. I am also so exhausted, haven't been sleeping and the heartburn is out of control! Anything I eat or drink makes me sick.
4) Whatever food I want. My heartburn has been so bad I can't wait to eat what I want again and not be miserable!
2. I had my 36 week appt today, and I'm dilated 1cm and 50% effaced! And I was negative for GBS.
3. I'm feeling pretty good, but sleeping is a nightmare!
4. I can't wait to be able to sleep again! I love my sleep and it's quite annoying when I can't sleep at all. Lol
2) Apt today! cervix is thin and he is head down! Doc agrees with me that we may have Owynn on my birthday
3) I feel great!! Bh contractions have been getting a bit stronger and getting everything ready is starting to stress me out, too much to think about at once lol
4) I can't wait to eat what I want again! Was diagnosed gd about 3 weeks ago, I would have to say regular soda and just anything that isn't a diet lol
2. Appointments/updates? I had my wk36 appt yesterday with a non-stress test and swab for GBS. The day before we had a growth scan and LO is with with the average, so the wonky cord issue seems ok.
3. How are you feeling? TIRED!!!! Irritable and working hard to keep my temper tamped down.
4. What will be your first indulgance that you have had to give up during pregnancy after you give birth? Guinness after delivery
