3rd Tri Mamas

ALC08 · February 2016

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing! I am just over 30 weeks now and everything seems to be well with me and the little guy. He is kicking and moving just up under my ribs now and some of them can be pretty uncomfortable! Seems he is getting bigger and stronger by the day. I'm excited for April to be here so i can finally see my sweet baby. @bntfroggie@Plleriti1 and anyone else my brain dead self may have forgotten

Plleriti1 · February 2016

Yay! It's coming up! Glad you're feeling good. Same here, just over 30 weeks and physically more uncomfortable this time around than I was with my daughter. Things just hurt more! (And my patience has worn quite thin lately with my 2.5 year old, even though I hate to admit it!) But we did finish that baby's room... So now it's getting real! Just a couple more months to go!

mommaseal · February 2016

28.5w here! So excited to be this far, thought this trimester would never come. Feeling good, thankful for each movement. We are moving in the next 4wks so very anxious to get settled and get her room ready! Feeling very unprepared right now.

kimey1 · February 2016

Happy to see familiar faces

29 weeks here and definitely feeling baby swishing around and grunting when putting socks on! I'm very much in nesting mode and can't wait to get the nursery done. So tired by mid afternoon but couldn't be happier we've come this far

bntfroggie · February 2016

33wks and change here, when we had a growth scan at 32wks she was measuring 2wks ahead, but she is head down. We are still scrambling to get things ready, I think I was in disbelief for so long I forgot that I actually need to get stuff done. This week's goal is to find a daycare for her. We also need to put the artwork up in the nursery, oh and we have to name her ha ha (small detail

)

I did her laundry this weekend and all I keep picturing is a baby filling out all the little clothes nicely

So excited.

Am I actually up next on this board? How scary!!

Skydance · February 2016

So lovely to hear you are all doing well! This is the home stretch woohoo! Just over 30 weeks too and still enjoying each day despite the back ache, heartburn and laboured breathing. Yet to finalise a name (why is it such a big decision!?) and buy important stuff for the nursery. We're almost there, girls! Keep baking

MamaRoni · February 2016

31 weeks here too! I have got to get motivated and get stuff done.... but I'm still secretly scared I'll jinx it

Plleriti1 · February 2016

Feeling pretty thankful for having this board and this group of mamas to share my anxiety, excitement, worries, etc with thus far in our pregnancies! So excited for the pics and announcements to start rolling in in a couple months!

Boonhilde · February 2016

I'm so happy for everyone doing well!

Plleriti1 · March 2016

How are all you ladies feeling? This time around I am SO uncomfortable! I keep trying to "enjoy my last pregnancy" but man... It hurts! So much different this time around than with my daughter!

ALC08 · March 2016

I was having really bad heartburn/ indigestion but it seems to be better. I feel like i can breathe a little easier too, and ppl keep telling me he looks low. Hoping he is not getting ready to come just yet. Other than that i just can't do as much any more, doesn't take much to make my back scream. We started birthing class this week. Anxious and excited to see my little boy!

kimey1 · March 2016

Still have 8 weeks to go and I def dont think baby's dropped yet. Walking fast is difficult (oh the muscles and lightning crotch!) and I definitely feel her head poking my bladder from time to time. The cankles swelling makes it really tough and period-like cramps have returned. Can't imagine how it'll be when she actually drops!

mommaseal · March 2016

I totally forgot what it felt like to be this far! I completely forgot about the period like cramps! I've been worried, so thanks for the reminder. 9 more weeks, I hope March flies by!

bntfroggie · March 2016

36wks as of yesterday. It is still just mind blowing. Everyone I talk to are like oh I remember being that far along and was just so ready to be done, or I bet you are over it. Truth is I kind of like being pregnant. Honestly since January 2015 I've only not been pregnant for 2 months, this is kind of my new normal ha ha. She can take as little or much time as she need to, to be healthy.

Also spoke to the doctor and they wont let me go past 41wks which means I have a maximum of 5wks left to go.

But to answer the question at had I'm doing good

mommaseal · March 2016

I feel the same way @bntfroggie We found out March 2015 we were expecting and lost our daughter in June. I was pregnant again in August so I feel like I've been pregnant forever! Lol :-) I just want her to stay put and keep healthy and growing until it's time. But... On the other hand I'm so terrified the closer I get to end. I can't help but think of all the women on here who lost this late.

kimey1 · March 2016

Ditto on not minding being pregnant. I was pregnant half of last year because of the loss before this so I'm happy. It's a blessing. She can stay there as long as she needs to get nice n plump before heading out here!

Skydance · March 2016

Feel the same - getting heavier for sure but I'm happy to stay pregnant for as long as she likes. Next scan in a week when I'll be 35w. Wheeee it's all getting real and imminent now.

kimey1 · March 2016

I had an interesting update.
What I thought were my first serious braxton hicks were actual contractions early yesterday morning. It wasn't helping that I had diarreah at the same time! So after 2.5hrs of contractions I came to the hospital as my doctor said.
After tests doc said it'd be best to be admitted and see whether the contractions go away, and to see whether I dialate (i wasn't at all at the time). For 22hrs I was hooked upto an IV for hydration, magnesium and got 2 steroid shots to make sure baby's brain and lungs were developed if she decided to come this weekend!
Turned out to be a false alarm, so I'm back home and put on bedrest for a few days. I'm still feeling the meds (they last 24hrs after getting off of em) but I'm just glad baby's been a trooper. I'll be 34weeks on Saturday. Stay in there just a few more weeks hon!

Skydance · March 2016

Oh my! Quite an experience.. Glad you're doing better now. Hopefully no more false alarms till the real deal when baby's ready. Kudos to both baby and mom for being troopers! Take good rest.

bntfroggie · March 2016

@kimey1 I hope baby stays put for a little longer.

kimey1 · March 2016

Thanks @bntfroggie @Skydance 3 more weeks and I'll be happy. I don't mind her coming around 37 weeks

How are you ladies doing?

mommaseal · March 2016

Oh man! I'm so glad she's staying put! Who's up first? I can't wait to see Rainbow babies!!! 6.5 more weeks here, getting excited to meet my little one!

bntfroggie · March 2016

1.5 weeks left for me and @Synnovus.

I'm feeling okay, but my stretch marks are so itchy it has been keeping me up at night. I may talk to the doctors at my appointment about using Calamine lotion on my stomach. I was bouncing on my yoga ball yesterday, but it angered my hip, so I wont be trying that again.

I think I'm ready ha ha

Synnovus · March 2016

I'm right there with you @bntfroggie! Ready as I can be so hope LO decides it's time soon!

ALC08 · March 2016

So excited for you ladies!! Can't wait to hear that your lo's have arrived! I have just over 4 weeks and can't believe it's almost here!!!

Plleriti1 · March 2016

Yay! We are all SO close. 4w2d to go for me. Ultrasound on Friday evening to check baby's positioning and fluid levels. I feel like he's already 17lbs! (Let's hope to god not!

)

kimey1 · March 2016

@Plleriti1 that's awesome! I have 6 weeks to go but i think she'll be here in 3 or 4 instead. She was measuring 5lbs today. Doc's put me on a carb-free, oil-free diet so she gains 0.5lb p/week till delivery.

Plleriti1 · March 2016

That is so exciting @kimey1 ok, not the diet part but the possible early delivery part! It finally stopped raining in Ca so I'm at the car wash (getting one more thing checked off my list) and the guy tells me I look really tired. Add that to the list of things not to say to an extremely pregnant woman! (And yes... I am tired but I don't want to look that way!)

ALC08 · March 2016

I'm so excited but SOOO tired this week!! Anyone else struggling right now?

bntfroggie · March 2016

I've been struggling for years now ha ha. I'm tired and my hip hurts and all I want to do is complain, but I've had an easy pregnancy so I don't feel like it is warranted. Also I'm getting checked today so I'm hoping to be at least a little bit dilated at 39wks. I'll let you ladies know.

Synnovus · March 2016

Yup, I'm tired and cranky! So ready to be done with this, but looks like LO is just making herself comfy in there. Due to SPD I feel like an old lady barely getting around in the house and it's quite limited what stuff I actually can get done. I'm getting bored an feel like all I'm doing is waiting and waiting AND waiting!

mommaseal · March 2016

@bntfroggie How was the appointment?! Can't wait to hear a rainbow baby update!!!

bntfroggie · March 2016

@mommaseal I'm only 1cm dialated, but 70% effaced so that is something. He doesn't think baby will come before due date but anything can happen. I also made a new appointment and immediately realized it is a year to the day we found out about our loss. I thought of changing it, but I need to associate good things with that day so I kept it.

ALC08 · March 2016

@bntfroggie keep us updated!! It's strang how several of my dates coincide as well, but it kind of makes it bittersweet instead of just bitter. Can't wait to hear you have your little angel!

Plleriti1 · March 2016

36 week ultrasound this eve... Started bleeding right as I got to the dr tonight. 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Bleeding seems to be from dilating and has stopped. Dr doesn't think I'll make it to 40 weeks!

That's exciting. Looking forward to seeing your baby's picture soon

Skydance · March 2016

here's to making new happy memories on that date.. Enjoy the last few days/weeks of pregtastic life @bntfroggie

Skydance · March 2016

@Plleriti1Oh wow!! When I read bleeding I got worried but then realized it's a good sign right now.. Right? Hope it wasn't anything serious and you're well on the way to a healthy delivery.. Whenever he's ready

Skydance · March 2016

At my appointment last week they found that I have Group B Strep so will need an antibiotics IV during labor and delivery

Anyone else on here had/have the same? Also did any of your babies drop and did you see/feel the difference?

kimey1 · March 2016

@Skydance Haven't been tested for Group B Strep yet so can't say much there.
DH says my belly dropped a little and my mom agreed. I can't really tell visually, but I do feel her nudging me and making me wanna pee instantly.

bntfroggie · March 2016

I don't see visually that my belly has dropped at all, and no one has made any comment that it has. Hopefully she is where she needs to be.
