GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? I hope the weather stays nice in Iowa/Nebraska so we can just bundle her up as soon as I feel like I can handle a decent walk!
Symptoms: Lightning crotch, vaginal pain/discomfort at night, some BH and contractions, increased discharge, back pain.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I'm only 13 days away from when I had DS! Really hope this baby girl follows in big brothers footsteps Upcoming Appointments: 38 week appt on Friday. Hoping my cervix has made some more progress since last week! GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? Ughnever. I was way too active after having DS and my recovery was brutal. I plan to chill as much as humanly possible this time around lol.
Symptoms: lightheaded, nausea, heartburn, leg cramps, contractions, insomnia, anger
Rants/Raves/Stories: I've been having off and on back contractions since Friday. When I went into the doctor, they pretty much just said "sorry." No labor progress. Upcoming Appointments: Not until next week.
Questions: Am I done yet?
GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? I'll probably go out the first week, like I did with DS.
Week/Size: 35/ Coconut Symptoms: rectal/vaginal pressure, vivid dreams, insatiable thirst, dry lips, rib pain, foul smelling stools, general discomfort Rants/Raves/Stories: I wasn't an obedient bedrester on the weekend. Took a trip with SO to IKEA to buy frames and eat hot dogs and waffles at the snack bar. Didn't walk more than 200 metres so I don't feel so guilty. Upcoming Appointments: Wednesday with a midwife at the hospital to complete my dossier.
Questions: I'm pretty sure my baby is posterior. Anyone succesful in getting a posterior baby to turn? GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? As soon as I'm able to. There's a lovely park close to my place. I hope the weather is nice.
Symptoms: back/pelvic pain and just generally feeling huge
Rants/Raves/Stories: I took last Friday off and had a super productive yet relaxing 3 day weekend. I can't wait to go on leave in 3 more weeks!
Upcoming Appointments: Weds for the Strep B swab, fun stuff
Questions: None this week
GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? Not sure since I'm a FTM, but hopefully after a week or two. I'm generally very active and can't imagine not leaving the house for days on end...
Symptoms: back/pelvic pain, annoying contractions/braxton hicks (NST showing them as close together as 5 to 6 minutes...but not doing much), general discomfort
Rants/Raves/Stories: I am now 5 days way from when my water broke with baby #2 and the doctors keep saying its likely I will go in the next week or two, my fingers are crossed because I am pretty much over being pregnant and very uncomfortable (baby is measuring about two weeks ahead and my body has definitely started to get ready for labor).
Upcoming Appointments: I had an appointment today (am now 2cm and 50% effaced) and I have an ultrasound tomorrow.
Questions: None this week
GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? As long as the weather is nice we will out and about for walks within the first week home. I will probably wait to take her to a store or restaurant until she is 3 weeks old.
Symptoms: Braxton hicks, getting sore/stiff when sitting or standing for too long.
Rants/Raves/Stories: So many baby clothes to wash and things to put away.
Upcoming Appointments: Just had an appointment today, doing the biophysical scans/NST weekly on Wednesdays
Questions:
GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? As soon as humanly possible. Baby is due to arrive at the end of April, so if the weather is nice, like it has been I want to at least take her out in the stroller around the neighborhood.
Symptoms: feeling HUGE, harder to breathe, pee all the time still, always tired (even though I am still sleeping just fine..thank God!)
Rants/Raves/Stories: I just want to go on bed rest and sleep all day until he comes.
Upcoming Appointments: I have my 36 week appointment on Thursday and she will check dilation and position. Praying that he's in position and I am more than 1 or 2 cm dilated. I'm ready for this.
Questions: None
GTKY: When are you hoping you'll be able to get out for walks or store trips with little one? After my ladyparts feel less sore. I had terrible tearing with DS.
