This is a weekly check-in for members in their 3rd trimester. You can join at 28 weeks and we will bid you an excited farewell when you greet your little ones! If you are new, please include your EDD and team.
Questions: 1) How far along? 2) Any appointments this week? 3) How are you feeling?
Any appointments this week? Yes! Wednesday I have my check up and Thursday we go in to start my induction for a hopeful delivery on Friday.
How are you feeling? Stressed. I am so excited to have her but I'm scared of how it will all go. And I've got some family stress that isn't helping.
QOTW: no last minute summer plans other than having this baby!! Tomorrow is my last day of work so I'm planning on hanging by my pool for a little while before we go into the hospital Thursday.
