Re: ***Friday Ticker Change 2/5***
Rants/raves/symptoms: Lack of sleep sucks, but the hip pain sucks more- and one side hurts more than the others because I realized I stand/sit unevenly. I need to fix that
Upcoming appointments: Next one is Feb. 26
Questions for the group: None
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? It varies, right now, instant breakfasts.
Rants/raves/symptoms: By the end of the day my back and ribs are killing me. Breathing/taking deep breaths is a chore. Also, I am just so tired all of the time!
Upcoming appointments: Monday I have an US, Glucose test and regular appt.
Questions for the group: None
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? Cereal-mostly Life and Honey Bunches of Oats. I could eat cereal for every meal.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Sleeplessness. Wtf? Takes forever to fall asleep only to wake up after 5 hours at the crack of dawn.
Upcoming appointments: February 12, nutritionist appointment, still "not gaining enough weight" which I don't agree with since the baby is measuring perfect and I'm eating well, but. . .
Questions for the group: Sex! Getting a bit bored of woman on top, which seems to be the only position that DH feels comfortable with so we don't "smash the baby". What other positions have y'all tried that work with a big belly?
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what?
Yes. Pastries! Escargot, pain au chocolat, all of them. I don't care for sweets normally, but I practically live in my local bakery right now.
Rants/symptoms: Swollen feet/ankles, braxton hicks, sciatica, back pain, waking up a bajillion times a night to pee and switch sides... all the fun!
Raves: Feeling baby move never gets old, I love it! It is also really fun to see how DH is experiencing my pregnancy, he loves my bump and is very interested in everything. On Wednesdays he complains if I don't share my HDBD picture with him and on Fridays he makes sure we watch the weekly TB video together in bed before I start getting ready for work. I just know he will be an amazing dad. Pantene released a new series of commercials with NFL players doing their daughters hair that had me in tears, I really can't wait to watch my H with our baby girl.
Upcoming appointments: 2/25 - regular check in, not sure if I'll see her every 2 weeks after that.
Questions for the group: Nope!
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? I'm with you @bkjade - I want all the baked goods and pastries.
Rants/symptoms: Sleep is more uncomfortable now. I can't say I'm having trouble sleeping per se, since my DD usually wakes up at least once during the night anyway. I'm just used to it now. I also think I've started to waddle when I walk. I feel so huge, but I've only gained about 15 lbs, which sounds like a lot, but I was at 30+ at this point with my daughter.
Upcoming appointments: Had my regular appt + glucose test this morning. Nothing exciting. We're now starting appts every 2 weeks, so my next one will be Feb 19th! Fingers crossed I passed the test with flying colors!
Questions for the group: None
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? I'm with @jenl1681 - CEREAL!! I've been craving cereal so bad, my latest obsession is Special K w/Strawberries for some reason. My issue is I think all of the milk has been making me feel super bloaty, so I got some Lactaid Milk to try this week. Not sure I'd drink it straight, but it's not too bad on cereal!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Raves: my skin has been pretty good looking lately, Rants: hungry all the time, hip soreness sleeping even with my snoogle and it's uncomfortable to flip at night, also i've had alot of white hair come in
Upcoming appointments: Tues. Feb. 9th Gestational diabetes test (haven't been to the doctor since December due to our vacation in Jan.)
Questions for the group:
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? had a cake ball today at work, i really want more
Rants/raves/symptoms: Some morning sickness again this week. I'm beginning to think it is never completely going away.
Upcoming appointments: I have a nurse appt on Monday for blood work and collection of 24 hour urine. My blood pressure was elevated at my last appointment so I'm going to be seeing the dr more frequently. Trying not to freak out about it because it obviously won't help things.
Questions for the group: Has anyone else done the 24 hour urine collection? I will not be leaving the house on Sunday.
GTKY: Are you having cravings? This week teriyaki chicken. I rarely crave anything but that has been what I've really been wanting!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Exhausted, sore legs & back, generally achy this week
Upcoming appointments: In two weeks
Questions for the group: Nothing today
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? I'm craving coffee and sweet stuff
@mcb2016 I had the 24 hour urine collection during my 1st pregnancy because of suspected pre-e. It wasn't bad at all...just a pain since you have to keep the jug in the fridge. I drank normally and the test came back fine. I actually think I did it two different times and then they induced me at 39 weeks since my blood pressure was very high. Hope your test comes back fine!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Man, I'm really starting to slow down on days that I'm really busy - it just wears me out. My belly is feeling super heavy. I'm still working out (lightly) at jazzercise but I'm questioning how much longer I'll be doing that. I feel like I really need to get going on the nursery since I'm having twins and they could come earlier. I'm co-chairing the big elementary school auction which happens in a month and I'm so busy with that, I can't wait for it to be over. OK, rant over.
Upcoming appointments: Exciting week next week. Monday: appt. with new Dr., Tuesday: hospital tour (it's been remodeled since having my daughter), Wed: sonogram.
Questions for the group:
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? not really. I do love my cereal, but that's not really new. I have a hard time staying away from sweets!
Rants/raves/symptoms: Sleep issues, headaches
Upcoming appointments: Weekly appointments with a cardiologist, next OB is 3/5
Questions for the group: Nada
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? Mexican food. All of the Mexican food.
Rants/raves/symptoms:
none yet- had a growth spurt this month!
Upcoming appointments:
16th- last monthly appt!
Questions for the group:
anyone sleeping on their back?
I know it's not reccomended but I go to sleep on my side with my maternity pillow every night and despite how much a try not to I always wake up on my back, it's just so much more comfortable. It worries me but I've also heard that if its dangering you or the baby you'll start to feel pain/shortness of breath and that hasn't happened yet.
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what?
No cravings yet
Mama to Three Girls:
Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor
and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
Rants/raves/symptoms: I am getting so big!! Or at least I feel like I am
Upcoming appointments: next apt is the 29th of Feb - ended up having my 24week apt early as I went in to have them listen to the HR as I was concerned baby was very quite.
Questions for the group: Did any of you skip the glucose screening test?
GTKY: Are you having cravings? If so, what? I want everything sweet!!!
I'm also normally a back sleeper, so I got a snoogle to help me not flip on my back and most of the time I end up at a 45 degree angle, (because of the snoogle keeping me from going flat) so I figure that's good enough lol.
