Upcoming Appointments? Growth ultrasound on Monday and then I think I'll start going once a week.
Newest Symptoms? Trouble getting to sleep then waking early. Like last night I slept from 2am-7am. I see a nap in my future
What are your 4th of July plans? Nothing. We have a block party at church but the weather is supposed to be nasty and I just don't have the energy to fight downtown Nashville traffic and be outside for 6-7 hours. Plan to sit on my porch, hold my DH's hand and see fireworks from the local park.
Upcoming appointments: 36 week check up on Tuesday!
Newest Symptom: Those Braxton Hicks came out of nowhere. I've been having them every night!
4th of July Plans: I think we're just BBQing at home and watching fireworks!
Upcoming appointments: High-Risk OB on Tuesday to hopefully schedule my cerclage removal...yay!
Newest Symptom: A lot of pelvic pressure and lightening crotch has ramped up.
4th of July Plans: Nothing, it's a regular ol' Saturday for this Canadian gal
Upcoming appointments? Every single week until I give birth I have to go for NST. My child is measuring the size of a 7lb baby plus he has some fluid in his kidneys. (Looks like he has dads size and moms crappy kidneys)
No new symptoms.
What are your 4th of July plans? Parades dog show fire works the whole works!
2 weeks til next appointment
No new symptoms but sometimes the baby pushes on my lungs/ribs which is very uncomfortable
4th of July festivities downtown with food trucks and fireworks
Upcoming appointments? I have about 4 appointments on Monday with specialist doctors and an ultrasound bc of an abnormality found on an ultrasound I had on Saturday..
New symptoms: more trouble sleeping lately.. No really new symptoms but I feel like all of my symptoms have really increased in the last week! (Sore pelvis, hips, and back, acid reflux, hot!)
4th of July plans: I'm Canadian so nothing special.. Think I might go get a pedi though!
Upcoming appointments? U/s and checkup on Thursday.
New symptoms: Trouble sleeping- I can't seem to get a good solid chunk of sleep in so I always feel tired. I feel like there is more pressure in my belly. That combined with all the movement makes me uncomfortable.
4th of July plans: Cookout at my ILs. We are combining celebrating the 4th with my SIL's graduation party. Then, as long as the weather is ok, fireworks!
Upcoming appointments? U/S on Thursday and NST Friday.
New symptoms: Pelvic pressure.
4th of July plans: Just a nice and quiet relaxing day.
Appointment next Friday for an ultrasound and my close-to-34 week checkup. Dr wants to see how much baby has grown.
New symptoms...itchy feet, but I think that has more to do with walking in flip flops in our unmown lawn than anything else. Oh, and heartburn!
4th of July plans...none but we plan on seeing the fireworks from our driveway. Apparently we get a great view! (We just moved to a new neighborhood and we are really close to the park where they do the fireworks).
34 weeks, butternut squash
Upcoming Appointments?
35 week ultrasound, tdap, and strep b all at my next appointment on the 15. Then weekly appointments after that.
Baby is breech so we're gonna talk about my options as well.
Newest symptoms?
Worst heartburn ever, my back is still killing me, and I can't sleep at night for the life of me.
What are your 4th of July plans?
Not sure, it's been raining a lot all week and supposed to keep raining. Hubby would rather sit at home and watch tv which bums me out.
But we're finally working on the nursery (better late than never??). We put it off forever thinking the house would sell but no luck, so it's paint time! We also got a super cute ceiling fan from Lowes. It's pink. Eek!
Upcoming Appointments? Regular check up on Tuesday. Start weekly after that.
Newest Symptoms? Dunno about new, but all my same ones keep getting more intense (heartburn, insomnia, feet swelling) and I reach new levels of feeling enormous every week!
What are your 4th of July plans? I live in DC and we have friends in town so we are doing all the tourist/American stuff - monuments, baseball, fireworks. Here is DH and me at the reflecting pool today.
Nst's on Tuesday and Friday, along with OB visit on Friday. Weekly lab visit on Thursday to check sugar.
No real new symptoms but the BH have intensified. To the point that I was thinking it might be the real thing last night. Thanking God they settled down!
No special plans for the 4th as DH has to work. Celebrating my birthday tonight though with my entire family so that will be fun!
Upcoming Appointments? Regular check up on the 20th, I have to get my Tdap shot
Newest Symptoms? Heartburn and back pain are getting worse! BH are still pretty light so far
What are your 4th of July plans? Maybe go to my parent's for a BBQ, eat some yummies (probably a bottle of tums as well), and try not to melt!
Upcoming appts: 35wk appt on monday
Newest symptoms: periods of tachycardia with contractions, basically makes me feel like I'm dying
4th plans: None, being a bum laying on my couch. Possibly going to watch fireworks with my parents and DD, since DH has to work
Upcoming Appointments? The 9, then moving into weekly appointments.
Newest Symptoms? Getting up like 20 times last night to pee. I just want sleep lol
What are your 4th of July plans? Watching tv. (Not American) though happy 4th to you ladies
How many weeks/ What fruit/veggie are you? 32 weeks, Some kind of random squash that looks like a deformed pumpkin...
Upcoming Appointments? Sonogram on Monday to check out LO's ventricles. I hope we can get a picture of his face this time. Last month, he had his arm over his face, my DR poked him a little to see if he would move and he flipped us off!! It was hilarious seeing him wave his little finger at us! We got zero pictures that day, he was having none of it.. lol
Newest Symptoms? General random crampiness and BH's. I can't walk or stand for too long without getting some degree of BH contractions. It's more annoying than painful though.
What are your 4th of July plans? Going to the beach for a picnic and watching the fireworks over the lake. It's going to be a beautiful sunny 76 today in Buffalo. Not bad at all
Upcoming Appointments? 36 week appointment next week full of fun-strep b swab, cervical check (unless of course I decide to forego but this week has been rough, so I'll leave that up to the doc) and possibly ultrasound
Newest Symptoms? Lots more pain. Back pain, Braxton hicks, and a really uncomfortable, burning pain in my upper abdomen. The doctor thinks it's a torn muscle but will check it out this week. Luckily it isn't any type of emergency, but there isn't much I can do either...
What are your 4th of July plans? Working today, all day. Sucks to miss a beautiful day outside, but I have no problems with holiday pay!
Upcoming appointments? Next week for regular biweekly check up. Every Time I keep hoping they tell me I can't go back to work because work is making me miserable.
New symptoms: heart burn makes me want to die, peeing every two hours during the night, and my feet are finally starting to swell after my 12 hour shifts. On the plus side I finally popped and everyone suddenly knows I'm pregnant. Only took 8 months.
4th of July plans: Well we were going to spend the day on the boat and then watch the fireworks from it tonight. But it's raining so we went yesterday instead and we're going to work on the house. But now I am dead on the sofa feeling so sick with horrendous back pain. Sooo in lounging and will prob go to the inlaws for steak tonight. Who says no to steak?
Next appt - July 16 for 34 week check. Wish I had another ultrasound coming but nope.
Newest symptoms- worsening pelvic pain. Starting to have insomnia. Not sure if this is a symptom, but just this week I decided I really want VBAC, so I'm praying baby will come a little bit early. Csection scheduled at 39w5d.
Plans for today - DH is making cowboy burgers. Corn on the grill. I'm making potato salad and Red, White, and Blueberry pie. My brother is over and one of our friends is coming over to partake in the foods and fireworks later.
Upcoming appts: appointment on Thursday with a platelet blood count for ITP
Newest symptoms: more heart burn, swelling feet, and hemorrhoids
4th of July: One of our good friends came to town to visit so we went to the town festival and then grilled out and are doing fireworks in a couple more hours!
Upcoming appointments: NST then regular appt for strep b and cervical check
Newest Symptom: BH, NO sleep whatsoever, ridiculous rib pain (which is why I can't sleep!), and ankle swelling (hate sitting down because of BH and rib pain!) sorry, I sound like a complainer today!
4th of July Plans: We had a cookout/pool party at my in-laws, then went to watch fireworks. Same thing today, I believe!
