Re: **Friday Ticker Change 3/11**
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Rants: People getting snotty about the fact I don't "let" people touch my belly. If you're a friend and you ask- no problem. But if you don't at least ask, yea, you're going to make me mad. Personal space people, pregnant ladies need more of it, not less. GRRR
Raves: I love the movement!!!! Though I could do with less of the rib-playing she does.
Symptoms: Tired, my boobs have started hurting again sometimes, and backaches. Depending on my shoes I'll get some swelling but nothing ridiculous.
Upcoming Appointments: March 21st
Questions For the Group:None
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? No birthing classes, we're taking a tour and doing an infant CPR class, that's it.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: All rants: I'm tired of peeing 4 times throughout the night, not being able to stand at the sink properly and wash dishes, not being able to lean across my desk at work, and only being able lean way back in my chair or else baby boy gets mad and starts kicking and punching with vengeance.
Upcoming Appointments: Next Friday morning (18th) w/ my regular OB
Questions For the Group: nada
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? (Taken from Wed/Thurs Group) DH and I are taking labor basics I and II the first 2 Tuesdays in April at the hospital I'll be delivering at and then a lactation class the 3rd Tuesday in April.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm getting tired of everyone telling me I don't look pregnant or asking if I've gained weight. (I actually have gained even if it doesn't look like it!) I am tall and over weight so I really do not show. But I hope at some point I start to have a bit of a belly! I LOVE feeling my baby boy kicking. He seems to have really gotten so much stronger lately and I feel him more and more.
Upcoming Appointments: Next Friday the 18th with my obgyn.
Questions For the Group:
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? (Taken from Wed/Thurs Group) I have not signed up for any classes. I would have liked to but we haven't gotten around to it yet.
Week/Fruit: 31 weeks/Pineapple
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rave: So many people want to celebrate these babies! These aren't my first babies so I feel a little weird/bad about having so many showers, but we could really use the help, so I'm very grateful! Also, since I'm on the older end this time most of my friends are wrapping up having kids themselves and the hand-me-downs have been flowing in like crazy. Some friends also had big gaps between their first child and their last, so they are giving me things that are pretty new! I've received a rock-n-play, 2 swings, bumbo, boppy lounger, etc all for free! Another fellow twin mom gave me her double Schwinn jogging stroller - so grateful!
Symptoms: Still really bad carpal tunnel. Crazy thirsty and therefore have to pee constantly (I have a head AND feet pushing on my bladder!). Sometimes my lower belly burns - I guess from stretching? I think I may be getting stretch marks.
I didn't have that with my first two.
Upcoming Appointments: I just had an appointment/sonogram. Baby A is still head down and B is still breech. I had to do the 3 hour glucose test and luckily passed!
Questions For the Group:
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? No, not this time. We did the hospital tour; that was fun. It has been renovated since my 5 year old was born and it's such an improvement!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Breathing is now a chore, especially while walking/eating. Also, the 3rd tri appetite vs. the amount of room I have to actually put food is not working for me. I have to make sure I'm eating slowly because if I go even slightly past my limit I will be in so much pain.
Upcoming Appointments: March 21st normal appointment
Questions For the Group: None really
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? (Taken from Wed/Thurs Group) We took the standard birthing class at the hospital with DS, so we aren't taking another one.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: hungry but not ravenous, back pain, sciatic pain.
Upcoming Appointments: Well, right now we have weekly echocardiograms of her heart, most likely weekly MFM appointments and then figuring out my OB. So much has happened in the past 2 weeks we are still trying to figure everything out.
Questions For the Group: Nada
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? (Taken from Wed/Thurs Group) We are taking Childbirth Prep, Newborn Care and a Breastfeeding class.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rants: I am starting to feel super overwhelmed at work, and smothered by my mom who just doesn't seem to understand the concept of boundaries lol. Also starting to feel very anxious because I want to meet my little one already! Raves: Even though I've put on almost 50 pounds (ouch) it seems to all be in my belly and boobs! And nothing is swelling
Upcoming Appointments: Optional 3D sonogram Monday, 3/14 and regular OB appointment Wednesday 3/16
Questions For the Group: None today
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? (Taken from Wed/Thurs Group) Yes, we are going this Sunday for a Baby Boot Camp/Breastfeeding Class. It is provided through Tribecca Pediatrics Group and it will be held in Manhattan.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rant ugh the horrible treatment we got at our ob gyn US & appt yesterday. That's the 2nd time we were treated badly and I'm sick of my ob gyn's non-attention to detail. Like every appointment we're starting from scratch, she doesn't even read my file accurately, and she really didn't seem to care or understand some of my fears/birth preferences. So I'm done. I made an appointment next week with a different ob gyn group at the same hospital, so all my records can be accessed by them. She also was incredibly wrong with the size of my baby, telling me he was 2 weeks behind last appointment (2 weeks before US yesterday) and the US showed him measuring ahead (73%, 4lbs 10oz estimate). But I'm relieved he's not too small.
Raves: Baby finally turned the right way! yay! altho this has at least double if not tripled my bathroom visits. his kicks are more muffled now which i guess is good, but it feels different and i kinda miss being able to feel them more from the outside. he wouldn't pose for the US good either again. He was sleeping with his face buried in my placenta and didn't want to wake up or move.
Upcoming Appointments: New ob/gyn visit Wed. March 16th.
Questions For the Group:
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? Yes, April 9th (hopefully it won't be too late at that point!) with my hubby at 1 of 2 places the birth might take place (I think). I have a breastfeeding class next Tuesday.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: work has been crazy stressful and I don't see it slowing down. Also overwhelmed about the housework that needs to be done but it's so much harder now. I've gotten good at picking things up with my toes lol
I love the movement as well but I'm so sensitive now when I don't feel him, or haven't been paying attention. I wasn't this paranoid with my first!
Upcoming Appointments: Friday! Will likely be picking our delivery day which is so exciting!!
Questions For the Group: none
GTKY: Are you taking birthing classes? Where? Not this time around. I hope I remember everything since it's only been 2 years but it seems like forever ago!
