SassFrass · April 2015

1. how many weeks?

2. appointments or updates?

3. how are you feeling?

Pretty short and to the point this week lol, I cant think of any GTKY questions right off hand since we have had 9 months to get to know each other lol. Congrats to those who birthed last week! It is the final countdown ladies!

SassFrass · April 2015

1. how many weeks? 38 this week. FINALLY!

2. appointments or updates? had our 38w check up today. Baby is doing well, fully engaged and strong hb. My mw estimated she is in the 5lb range and going to be a little baby, but she said she is still considered in the normal range, I most likely just make small babies, DD1 was only about 7lbs, so Im not too concerned. My cervix is really soft but only dilated to 1cm. We did a membrane sweep today in hopes that SOMETHING will progress further, even if I just dilate some more. So far I have been mildly crampy, and had slight spotting, nothing too intense. I know it is a 50/50 chance of anything happening, but hey, so far the odds haven't been to against me. our next appointment is scheduled for next Thursday where we will also have a growth scan, IF we make it to that appointment, my MW seemed hopeful that we would be seeing baby before then, so fingers crossed.

3. how are you feeling? tired, swollen, tired, achey, tired lol I did manage to catch up on laundry and get the house cleaned up except for a few dishes, but those really never go away completely, ya know since eating IS a priority lol.

gkrenzel · April 2015

1. 36-4....almost to that last three weeks!

2. Appointment last week, not much happening yet..lots of Braxton Hicks though!

3. Fighting an ongoing cold, stuffy nose and sore throat from being unable to breath out of my nose at night. I need my sleep back, hope it goes away soon (don't want to be sick when baby arrives either!).
Other than a few uncomfortable pokes and jabs from baby, been feeling great pregnancy-wise.

I haven't been a member for 9 months, just joined a few weeks ago. The boredom and length of the third trimester was really getting to me. It's hard to do anything but sit right now. I'm Leah, I'm due on May 21st. 3 weeks left! This will be our third baby, all girls. Bella is three, Katelyn is 19 months and this little ones name will be Elizabeth Corrine.

1. 36 weeks 4 days.

2. Everything has been so perfectly normal this pregnancy. I had pre eclampsia last time and was induced at 35 weeks, so normal is fantastic!

3. I'm feeling okay. Pelvic pain has been so bad that I don't do anything extra. I'm really restless just wanna have a baby already!

Brieb33 · April 2015

1) 36wks 3days

2) next Monday's appointment is group B strep, cervix check for dilation, and one last ultra sound to check baby's size bc he's measuring big and going to attempt VBAC. Can't wait!!

3) Tired, but at least baby dropped so that helps with breathing. Really ready to be at week 40!!!!

marthaudani · April 2015

1. 35 weeks 2 days
2. I had my last Progesterone injection this morning! I'm so glad that I'm done with those. The last 20 Monday's have not been fun. lol
3. Baby is running out of room and now it hurts when she turns or pushes or kicks. The usual back pain and sometimes swollen feet and hands are now joined by pressure and pain in the pelvis. Nothing to cry about though.

kateamart · April 2015

1. 35+3

2. Appointment last Friday, Dr. did an ultrasound to confirm the baby's head is down. I inquired about his size because I feel HUGE, but she felt my stomach and said I was right on track. She said: "He feels completely normal, maybe on the bigger side of normal, but normal." Next week I start weekly appointments.

3. I have 'good' days and bad days, but all in all, not so great. I think the thing that's really wearing on my lately is my lack of energy. We still have a lot to due in terms of getting our home ready for the baby, but I'm just so wiped out after work. I'm sort of the type of person who is always on the go, so this has been a real reality check for me.

MissRissx3 · April 2015

36 Weeks Today! Woohoo.

Appointment tomorrow, Group B Test, (YAY) Haha actually i'm just ready to get it over with at this point. Excited to start going every week

DH loves the appointments. (Edited because I had a brain fart)

Honestly, I'm pretty okay. Aside from the pelvic pain, back pain and foot pain. I've been a lot more energized lately THANK GOD. Stretch marks are coming in as well, which I expected (sort of) but DH makes me feel beautiful either way, so that helps out a lot.

- I'm so excited for all of us.. We're gonna be having babies left and right starting soon.. bittersweet..

lishaell · April 2015

35 + 1

I start weekly checkups next Tuesday

Tired, feeling huge, and sick of constant heartburn.

MrsS728 · April 2015

1. How many weeks? 39 weeks today!

2. Appointments or updates? Weekly DR appt on Thursday (if I make it to Thursday)

3. How are you feeling? I'm very uncomfortable. I started having pressure on my lady parts, which in combination with losing my mucus plug this weekend, being 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced at my last Thursday appointment it could mean that baby's arrival in imminent. I'm at the point of, "Let's get the show on the road."

jackieblair33 · April 2015

1) 38 weeks 1 day
2) appointment last Friday lead to me starting maternity leave 7 days earlier than what I though and on, basically, house arrest. Due to borderline elevated Blood Pressure I am confined to the couch and bed except for meals, showers, and bathroom breaks. Now I will be visiting my OB twice a week, next appointment being tomorrow. Depending on how the blood pressure looks, inducing is the way it will go!
3) I feel perfectly fine! The only things that have been bothering me terribly is hip pain when I sleep and rib pain underneath both of my breasts. Like where your bra line is. I have tried everything, pretty much the only thing that releaves it is standing up... Which I'm not supposed to do that much now. Oh the vicious circle. But so excited to meet my baby girl!!!

cpage2211 · April 2015

1. 38-5 today!

2. Lost my plug last week and no sign of labor. I have been having real contractions mixed in with BH here and there but nothing. I'm also being told by my hubby and mother that I need to hold him in until at least Friday because they want a May baby. I have an appointment on Wednesday and we'll see where I'm at then! Last appointment I was 1 cm and 70% effaced.

3. I'm. So. Tired. I'm thankful I don't have very much left to do before his arrival!

Kye042 · April 2015

1. how many weeks? 36 +4

2. appointments or updates? Had appointment today and did the strep B test. I have lost weight but baby is gaining, so the doctor has no concern. I will not be checked if I'm dialated until 38w and if I am my doctor will do a membrane sweep.

3. how are you feeling? Very uncomfortable; back pain, cramps and Braxton hicks. I'm ready to meet my little man already

1. how many weeks? 37w5d

2. appointments or updates? Had my last appointment last Wednesday where I found out I'm strep B positive. Darn! Next appointment is this Wednesday. Doing them weekly now. Lost part of my mucus plug yesterday and had the bloody show.

3. how are you feeling? Aside from uncomfortable at night, pretty good. Trying to go for daily walks and keep myself active now that I'm off work. But I'm feeling much less stressed being on maternity leave already

Now I'm just waiting anxiously for LO to arrive. I was remaining calm until my bloody show started and now I'm thinking it could happen any second, but also trying not to get my hopes up.

katiebug66 · April 2015

1. how many weeks? 37 weeks, 3 days

2. appointments or updates? My last appt was thursday, Had an ultrasound, NST, strept B test.

3. how are you feeling? Just so sleepy - not sleeping at night. Pelvic pain, c section scar pain, the usual.

LadyBlood · April 2015

1. 39w2d
2. I have an appointment on Thursday at 39w5d and will be getting my first cervical check as I'll be 2 days shy of my due date. Last Thursday midwife felt around and told me baby boy is head down and fully engaged!!
3. Feeling great. A bit tired and huge, having occasional Braxton hicks but otherwise feel great!!!

brookew86 · April 2015

1. 35 weeks, 2 days.

2. Had an appointment last Friday. Just a check on the doppler and his heart beat sounded great. Everything "was good", which was a relief because we were worried about my blood platelets the last time I went in. We went over my birth plan that I presented, had a good laugh because I got a jury summons for May, and in general it was just a relaxed and simple appointment. I love my OB.

3. My brain is kind of in a fog again. I've been sleeping a lot, and it's thrown me off. Add that I'm constantly up and down at night to go to the bathroom, and I am in general feeling pretty blah. A lot of the things I need to get done aren't getting done, and my nearly 6-year-old DD is watching a lot more TV because I'm just too exhausted to play, get her to help with chores, or do some schoolwork.

kgabhart · April 2015

I haven't done one of these in weeks, but here goes:

1. 38 + 4

2. At my 38 week appointment last Thursday my BPP revealed I had low fluid levels (it was at a 7 and they want it at least 10). They sent me home and told me to come back today to be re checked. Today it went down to a 6, so I write this from the hospital for observation. Tomorrow morning I find out if I will be induced or if she gets to cook a little longer. I have GD so they want her to stay put until at least Thursday when I will be 39 weeks. I guess we will see what happens...

3. Mostly I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my lady parts because she is sitting really low.

danibii · April 2015
