GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Re: Check-in for those NOT due yet
If I had $100 to spend on myself I would get myself a mani/pedi before I have this baby and a nice big frozen yogurt or coffee.
36w6d
Fun new symptoms?
More of the same shit! Prodromal labor over here.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Weekly Dr. visits are really uninteresting these days.
GTKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Lavender sodas, eyebrow wax, and some PP shapewear. And pastries.
If I had $100 I would put it towards a pair of shoes. Probably Tory Burch sandals or flats.
37 weeks, 5 days
Fun new symptoms?
Nothing new - some ligament pain, trouble sleeping, swollen feet. Snoring and drooling a lot when I sleep (TMI?) but does this happen to anyone else. I hate it!
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Prenatal massage on Monday (yay!) and seeing Doc on Tuesday. Last appointment on July 30 she said she thinks babe will be late.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
The aforementioned prenatal massage. I told baby he/she (team green here) can come anytime AFTER the massage.
Little girl is kicking and lifting my belly up i could probably see her foot if I tried
Doctors appt Monday I had an ultrasound Thursday her head is measuring at 35 weeks I know they are highly innacurate but would love an explaination from the doc!
A little crampy and contractions mostly when active and pain at night but that's it
100 bucks I'll take a mani pedi and an expensive lunch
I would take $100 and get a pedi and haircut and spend the rest on a cheeseburger and shake.

36 wks 5 days
Fun new symptoms?
Hip pain has become more severe, BH are pretty much constant (my midwife is aware).
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
At my appt last week I got to tour the newly constructed birth center...There is still construction happening in the clinic, so it isn't open for births yet, but my due date puts me in the range of possibly being the first to deliver at the new site. I'm a little excited about that!
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Probably a massage, see if I could relieve this hip pain.
Insomnia
100? Myself that's such a foreign concept, but an AWESOME pair of Steve Madden pumps I've been drooling over on sale. The rest? WINE! Lots of it
39 today
Fun new symptoms?
Snoring, and a few stretch marks on my sides near my hips. I think my feet get bigger every day, and I've been having stronger BH. Also lots of back pain.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
I had an appointment yesterday, my doc thinks baby will be late. I'm about a centimeter and a half dialated and 70% effaced. Yay?
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Lots of wine, and a nice dinner somewhere. Probably Olive Garden. And a massage if I have anything leftover lol.
39 weeks today.
Very sensitive nipples out of no where.
My dr is due a week after me so here's to hoping she'll be working when I deliver.
$100 on MYSELF?! Makeup. Stat.
My hips feel like they are being pulled apart, also felt some light period-like cramps yesterday.
Next appointment is on Monday
I'd buy some post-pregnancy clothes! My maternity clothes are super cute but I can't wait to wear normal clothes!
BH, pressure pains and mild cramping
appt on Monday
mani/pedi and ice cream sandwich!
I have what I guess are stronger BH contractions. It starts with a slight tweak in my lower back, then I feel a tightness in my belly, then a menstrual cramp feeling, and then finally pain in my lower back. I got excited when I felt it for the first time, but they have been so inconsistent.
I have a BPP on Monday (marginal cord insertion monitoring) and then I see the doctor on Tuesday. I have another BPP followed by seeing the doctor on my due date Friday.
I would take the the $100 and apply it to my car loan!
No new pregnancy symptoms, but this cold is making my snoring even worse! Poor DH!
I have my weekly NST on Monday and my weekly ultrasound on Thursday (only 2 more of each until my csection!)
$100? A pedicure with all the bells and whistles, eyebrow wax, and if there is any leftover, ice cream!
Just developed PUPPP in the last few days... fun! No labor symptoms at all besides a bowling ball sitting on my pubic bone.
I just have the normal office visit and NST this week and a trip to the endocrinologist to check my insulin dosage for GD.
I would probably spend $100 on take out. Cooking seems to be the biggest challenge in my life lately. I would also give it to my sister who's been a trooper driving 2 hours with a 19 month old to help me due to my chronic exhaustion. She amazing :x
Fun new symptoms? Cramping keeping me up at night
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? 4cm dilated last Thursday, doctor thinks I will go into labor soon, next appt Friday
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?: pedicure, eyebrow wax, new outfit
•SHARP pain in the vajayjay. Mild cramps. Can't sleep. Hips hurt. & everytime I walk I feel like my bones are rubbing together.
Is it time yet... ugh
•I have my weekly dr appointment Monday. I was dilated 3cm last week and he thinks I won't make my due date, August 28th.
•Ummmm definitely new shoes! I'd bargainista the shoes so I could fit in a pedi too
36weeks, 5days
Fun new symptoms? Stretch marks on my groin and very upper thigh
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? Starting to have a few concerning things pop up at doctors including high blood pressure and low levels of a few things in my blood work-so being more closely monitored for potential preeclampsia
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? Lobster and wine!
And, with a $100, I'd probably put it in savings because I can't think of how I'd splurge :-D
Fun new symptoms? I've been blessed to have an extremely easy pregnancy for the most but these past few weeks my body has started fighting me. Everything is sore. My hips feel like someone has tried to rip them from my body, my baby has his head so low that my bladder is pretty much non-existent and this Texas heat isn't helping anything.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? I have my 40 week appointment on Monday morning. We will probably discuss an induction date. I had a LEEP procedure a few years ago and we are worried that I might not go into labor naturally because of scar tissue on my cervix.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? Definitely a full body prenatal massage.
38 weeks 5 days
Fun new symptoms?
my first stretch marks have developed in the past 2 weeks, false labor contractions for 2 days now they keep tapering off around night time and they wake me up out of my sleep, fatigue, forever losing bits of mucus plug, and killer back pain
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
weekly OB on Monday, last Monday I was a centimeter dilated and doctor said she might have felt a hand down by my babies head so I'm hoping the hand has moved away from the birth canal and that I'm more dilated since I've had so many contractions
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
I would put it towards my bills
I am 37 weeks 2days
Fun new symptoms?
Nothing too bad other then insomnia, and mild ligament pain, after a full day of work and being a mom i tend to have swollen feet. Snoring and drooling a lot when I do finally sleep. I am a mouth breather.,
I love being pregnant and this is the furthest I have been. Had my son at 37w.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Prenatal massage this week (yay!) and seeing my favorite dr and u/s monday. Last appointment on aug 3 dr was new and terrible...I can't wait to vent and tell the Dr how terrible the new ob dr in the practice is.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it...
If I had a 100$ I would probably higher a babysitter and have a night out with the husband. We NEVER have a date night and hope we have one soon before this little guy arrives.
Kinda sad I only have a few more weeks of being pregnant. Right now this cutie is in the safest place.
God bless us all!. My husband I think wants to kill me, I have been a hormonal witch tonight!
39 wks 3days
Fun new symptoms?
On/off Intense pressure in my upper belly due to this big boy pushing his bum on my lungs and liver!
Lost my plug after my first cervical check 3 days ago..not even dialated 1cm.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related ?
40W appt and ultrasound scheduled for wednesday. Still not sure if i will make it that far? No contractions that I can identify ever having.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Olive garden salad and breadsticks...lots of them!!
Blessed
38 weeks, 5 days
Fun new symptoms?
Went all pregnancy without swelling but the last week I've noticed my ankles have gotten bigger and my fingers look like little red sausages! Also not new but baby keeps jamming it's elbow out my left side.. Almost thinking it might come out that way lol
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Have an 'ultimate' pedi scheduled for Monday! And then my weekly Dr app on Wednesday
GTKY: you have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
I would save it for some hot yoga sessions after LO is born!
37w 4d
Fun new symptoms?
Not really. Contractions are becoming no joke... And I've had some light spotting. Hoping it means I'm dilating, although I went from a 1 to a 10 in 3 hours last time... So I'm not sure it really matters anyway
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Dr appointment fri. I'm sure it'll be uneventful. I try to push these last appointments to the end of the week in hopes I won't have to go lol
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
I'd get my hair done for sure. I'm in desperate need of a cut and color.
Started serious BH/false labor yesterday. Happened with my first and is happening right this minute. Trying to not get my hopes up in that it could get real. Consistent timing but never gets worse. It will probably die down. I change positions, I walk, I drink water and yet it still lasts a good 8-12 hours and then gone. (See my post, despise false labor!)
Next doc is at 38w1 on Thursday the 13th. I don't know if anyone remembers I'm hoping for vbac but csection is scheduled for 39w5. They won't let me go past my due date since my first was ... well done, lol!!!
GTKY: a babysitter so I could go get a pedicure, and the rest on ebooks. (So much easier to read while nursing with the iPhone than a paperback!)
No new symptoms just the same insomniin , contractions that don't lead to anything, and the general feeling of being miserable 24/7
Just my weekly check up on Tuesday
Would love to get a pedi since I can't reach my toes comfortably enough to paint them myself. But honestly I doubt I would end up spending it on myself, I'd probably end up buying school supplies for the kids or more baby stuff.
On Monday I have 3 appts, NST, ultrasound and weekly OB appt. Sometime this day we'll find out when I'll be induced due to high bp. They don't want me to go past my due date.
I really want this cold brew iced coffeemaker. And maybe a mani/pedi.
