Pelvic pain, swelling, and inability to get comfortable enough to sleep.
Regular weekly check up on Monday! My last cervical check didn't hurt at all, so I'm debating letting her check again out of sheer curiousity.
I'd put the $100 towards a new bed set. I'd probably go with a frilly pink/white shabby-chic quilt with shams, bedskirt and all the decorative pillows.
As of Thursday I was 1cm and baby's head was very low. I have had several episodes of regular contractions but nothing painful. I would love a VBA2C but it's most likely not going to happen. At the very least I want to experience spontaneous labor because my first 2 babies were inductions. My RCS is scheduled for 40w2d so time is running out.
I would spend $100 on a babysitter.
TTC#1 for 19 months with PCOS and MFI IUI#3 + injectables = BFP!!!! Beta#1-134(13dpiui) Beta #2-392(15dpiui) #1 born December 2011
TTC#2 - Beta #1 -51@10dpo Beta#2 -1353 @16dpo #2 born May 2013
TTC # 3 June 2014 BFP 12-1-14
#3 born August 2015 #4!!!!!!! due June 2017
I've been very lucky so far. Wondering if LO is going to make me pay during labor and delivery. Only things I'm really dealing with are spontaneous BH and having to pee more often. Still feel really great and sleep well.
I has my last perinatal specialist visit last week, they don't want to see me again because everything looks good! (I had high AFP levels back in week 18 and have had 3 follow up ultrasounds to keep tabs on spine and overall growth). I have my 38 week OB check up on Wednesday and need to see the hematologist once more before delivery to check on my platelets.
If I had $100 to spend on myself, I would definitely be saving it until after delivery. I want some new clothes!
Fun new stuff: the lovely pelvic pressure of a head sitting on my pelvic bone.. And hemmorhoids .. Fun fun.
Go to doctor Wednesday (39 wk 1 day then). Pretty uneventful lately. Haven't done the deed in almost a month, and so no contractions, no BH. Nothing. For me, they always seemed to help. Last did it before my 35 week apt, went in and was 50% effaced and 1:2 cm dialated and had contractions for hours. So they checked. They checked me last week and I hadn't progressed any further
I'd probably have my hair did! I hadn't had it done since February and my highlights are pretty low... Lol. Looks awful. I'd do that or get myself the lillebaby carry on air toddler carrier for myself and DD1
37 weeks and 2 days
Fun new stuff: pelvic pain from baby hitting nerves and contractions
Next doc appointment is Friday (38 weeks) nothing super exciting to report there
I would probably go get a massage!
39 week appointment on Tuesday, just the normal check in
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
I would use it to go out to dinner and a movie with my husband. We just found a gift certificate to our favorite restaurant that we both thought we had used so we will probably go out this week (if our little girl decides to stay put)!
Fun new symptoms? Just the normal can't sleep. My pregnancy has been pretty easy so far. Oh but my ribs do occasionally feel like they're trying to separate!
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? 38 week appointment Tuesday, and Friday I have an appointment at the hospital for a version to try to turn this baby so she's head down! All pregnancy she was head down, and decided to flip at 34 weeks!
As for the $100 to spend on myself? Definitely would be saving it for a non prenatal massage. I just can't wait to lie on my stomach again and have real pressure applied without them asking if I feel okay!!
I'm 38 weeks 4 days, due Aug 19th. Would love to have this baby a little early, but first 2 were late, second was later than the first, so I'm not planning on going before my due date. Next appointment is Tuesday. Dr said he will check my cervix then if no baby yet. No new symptoms, just feel huge, with some really swollen feet.
If I had $100 to spend on me, I'd probably splurge on the diaper bag I really want.
Just a lot of pelvic pain, menstrual cramps and crazy lower back pain that comes and goes. Not getting excited as this means nothing. Also, because I've declined checks I'm not too sure where I stand. Oh well. I'll know when I'm in labor and I don't expect to go early at all (I made this mistake when I was a FTM-not doing that again).
Next Dr. Appt on Friday-really hope my BP stays normal. I do not want to be induced, at all.
I'm 36 + 6 & so anxious! I've had a couple BH but they're brief & days apart.
I don't have any NEW symptoms but the amount of times I pee now is just ridiculous. I can still sleep but I have to get up literally every hour to go to the bathroom & usually my hips hurt so it's time to adjust when I get back to bed.
I see the doctor every Wednesday & he's always so happy to see me because I'm one of his 'easier patients'. He doesn't worry about me, at all & baby is always doing so well. She's huge so she's always alllllll up in my ribs & it hurts so bad!
If I had a $100 to spend on myself I would definitely get a massage. & a pedi!
37 weeks and 4 days here My symptoms have been heightened over the past week with extreme crying, extreme heartburn, extreme cramping, extreme swelling, extreme need to pee all the time, and now extremely low patience for any kind of bullshit. Haha I'm usually a really passive happy go lucky person, but not anymore.
Have an appointment on thursday. I don't know what is going to happen but I hope it goes well. I'm hoping baby boy is head down and getting ready to make his journey.
If I had $100 for me... My brain is saying save that money for a rainy day, but the rest of me is saying spend that money on a fun night out with friends and family.
Hi 38w1d here. New symptoms include hot flash night sweats! Ugh.. In addition to the bathroom breaks every 2 hours resulting in me being up for 1-3 hours middle of the night $100? I would get a reflexology massage & a big dessert somewhere!
Had some "bloody show" discharge after a cervix check at my appointment last week. I was 1/2cm dialated at the last appointment... Been having some Small period type cramps for about a month now. Baby has been head down for over a month.
Go to the doctor tomorrow. He said I could induce as early as Tuesday if my cervix is ready. Not sure how I feel about that... Would rather go into labor naturally and plan on going pain med. free , although this week would be more convenient for all parties involved. Trying to walk , bounce on my birthing ball , eat pineapple, and sex. So we will see.
If I had $100 to spend I would spend it on post Prego clothing can't wait to not wear maternity clothes!!
Nothing new - same old heartburn, sciatic pain, and being exhausted!
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
We're getting our carseat fitting Tuesday, weekly appointment at the doctor's Wednesday, and Thursday I have a job interview for a different school in my district! Yup job interview only a few days before my due date!
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
I would definitely spend it on a massage!
BFP#1 9/14/2013 || EDD 5/25/2014 || mmc discovered on 11/1/2013 || d&c on 11/6/2013
BFP#2 12/8/2014 || EDD 8/19/2015 || please be our RAINBOW
Fun new symptoms? Baby must have dropped, feels like he's sitting on my colon so when I walk around it feels like I now have to pee and poo all the time. Sorry TMI!
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? Weekly checkup on thurs. hoping I can convince them to check on progress, said they normally don't start until 38 wks.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? New shoes! I'm tired of not having any shoes to wear other than flip flops. Thank god it's summer otherwise I'd be screwed!
How many weeks/days are you? 37+4 Fun new symptoms? Lighting croch accompanied with pain while in the car
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? Doc on Tuesday
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? I would go get a mani+pedi.... Can't reach my toes to cut then and I really want pink nails for then baby girl arrives.
37w+2days Symptom- more back pain. Feel like I can't even sit on the couch without my back hurting. And even though my ankles arnt swollen, my feet are really sore from all the extra weight. Midwifery appointment on mondy, they are pretty boring. We just talk, and I'm running out of things to talk about. Lets get this show on the road! $100? I might consider getting a professional set of fake eyelashes. I figure after baby I won't have a lot of time to make myself presentable for guests and such, and having false lashes makes me feel pretty without any effort at all. So it might just be worth it.
Fun new symptoms? I seriously have nothing going on. Some random BH contrax, RLP and back pain, but I have had that for a while. No real contractions, no signs labor is coming. Boo.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? I have an appointment tomorrow so we will see if I am dilated anymore (was 1-2cm when I was in L&D last Tues).
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? I would put it towards new clothes after baby (after my body goes back to normal a bit).
No symptoms/signs etc! Just the usual potty break mania, feeling tired from being large but loving life still.
Next appointment is a regular check-up on Wednesday. Not particularly looking forward to it because the midwife who is doing my exam is one that doesn't attend births and she's also not really my favorite (just says "ok, cool!" to everything, which really annoys me). Could be worse I guess.
If I could spend $100 on myself it would be on a cute, post partum, Fall nursing clothes. I love the Fall and love the colors/wardrobes so I'm looking forward to it!
I've been having THE WORST sore feeling on my entire belly. It hurts when the sheets just graze it....don't even get me started on wearing clothes. I also haven't slept for longer than an hour at a time due to peeing every 45 minutes and it's turning me into a lunatic. I just want to stop working and stay home and whine all day. Wahhhh.
I have my NST and weekly OB appt on Thursday and trying to schedule a prenatal massage that day also.
If I had a spare $100 I'd stock up on a few bottles of decent wine for after my little princess arrives.
This weekend I had a burst of energy followed by contractions and cramping. I thought maybe something was going to happen, but I'm back to my lazy pregnant self today and I haven't experienced any more cramping. Other than that I have a headache which is new. Joy.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related?
Wednesday I have my weekly appointment. My doctor is out of town on vacation this week so we'll see how my appointment with a doctor I haven't really met goes...
GTKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself?
Definitely some postpartum clothing that I can feel good about myself in.
Fun new symptoms? Nothing really new just worsening.
Upcoming appointments or anything doctor related? Tomorrow (Wednesday) I go for my weekly appointment and hopi get for some progress.
GYKY: You have $100, how would you spend it on yourself? I honestly can't even think of the last time I spent money on myself so it would take awhile to figure that one out.
I'm 37 weeks and 5 days. I'm can't sleep anymore with having to pee and being sore . Last night my back was so sore I maybe slept 3 hours. Not due until the 28th and I don't want her to come yet. Just having a hard time. Feeling super emotional and wanting to cry. I think it's just lack of sleep though. If I had $100 it would be to buy some cute nursing clothes for after. Hope all of you are doing well. This board really helps me get through some of the tuff stuff. I can always find my answers on here!
37w6d today. Didn't sleep well last night. It's about that time. But I'm sick too. Last pregnancy I had the energy to do stuff in the middle of the night. Not this go around.
Can I have another make believe $100 to spend on myself? I'm thinking a new pair of shoes this time course DS needs a pair for the winter. I might need to budget to get us both a pair!
I am 38w 1d today. I cannot breath out of my noise, I have BH a lot, and some digestive troubles. I am hoping all of these are good signs.
I go to my weekly appointments on Friday mornings. Today I was a whole centimeter, 70% effaced, and she is a negative 1. I keep hoping that means good things. The doctor said today that she does not think I will need to be induced. I hope she was not trying to just be nice.
If I could spend $100 on myself, I would go get another prenatal massage. Maybe relaxing a little more will drop her down and I will go into Labor. :-)

I have been having intermittent contractions and a ton of pelvic pressure low back/tail bone pain.
Next dr apt is Wednesday (38 week apt)
$100 I would put it towards a pedicure and share the rest with DH
My heartburn pretty much disappeared until a few days ago, now it's back with a vengeance!
I go back to the doc on tues (11th).
I would use the $100 to get a haircut and a mani/pedi before LO comes
