GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you?
Re: Friday + Weekend Ticker Change (4/1 - 4/3)
Symptoms: swollen hands and feet, pelvic pressure and aches, headaches and increased appetite.
Rants/Raves: I feel awesome today. That is all. I've started walking each morning which has boosted my mood.
Questions: Anyone's baby transverse?
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? in 2014, DH pulled a prank involving a relative moving into our home while I was away for months of job training. I will never forget that prank because I was literally in tears when he called and told me that he gave this person our couch since he had nowhere to stay. I'm a nice person and I love helping family but I felt so out of control and pissed that he made the decision without taking to me first. It was the first time my husband and I really disagreed on something. Of course, he let this prank go on for 3 days before telling me it was fake. (I made a third party visit my home to verify!)
Week/Fruit/Object: 37 weeks - winter melon?? mkay..
Symptoms: vagina pains, restlessness, exhaustion, swelling
Rants/Raves: 2 more OB appointments and then time to get this baby out!
Questions: Before labor started with some moms, how were you feeling right before it happened?
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I made my then 16 year old "brownies." It was payback for her putting an elastic band on the faucet sprayer on the kitchen sink and aiming outward.
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
Symptoms: very low, permanent lightning crotch, all the fun labor stuff
Rants/Raves: I'm free tomorrow!!!! No more BR!!! No more pills!!! May the labor begin on its own.
Questions: anyone in the Orange County (ca) area? Not sure if there's a post on this.
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I can't remember. I was never a good prankster and I always fall for jokes (daily).
Symptoms: SO uncomfortable. Swollen feet & hands, BP was up a little yesterday, lightening crotch, exhaustion, nesting, pelvic pressure, feel like I have to pee all the time
Rants/Raves: I don't really have any rants at the moment. I guess my rave could be that it's APRIL! I can't believe it's finally here!
Questions: None
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? Probably last year... my husband's company (now mine as well) had just had a RIF on 3/31. My husband decided it was a good idea to tell me that he had also been laid off, but that they hadn't gotten to his exit interview until the next day. I was FREAKING out. I'm pretty sure I cried in my old office. He kept it going for a little while, and I was furious when he finally told me he was joking. Also very thankful that he had not actually been laid off!
Symptoms: Everything hurts. It's painful to walk. Swollen feet. Back pain. Headaches. I'm done!
Rants/Raves: Rant and Rave: I am being induced on Tuesday, both excited and terrified.
Questions: I'll be given Cytotec and Pitocin for induction, I'm concerned after reading on here about those things not working and ending in C-Sections, or even just multiple doses needed. I don't want to be in labor for 24-48 hours. lol At what point will a section be done if I'm not progressing? I've been at 1cm and "very high" for a month.
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I am not really a fan of April Fool's Day. It's more annoying than anything else to me. lol
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
Symptoms: more/worse carpal tunnel. A few random painful contractions and plenty of BH. Lots of punches to the cervix courtesy of baby. Still swollen and enormous.
Rants/Raves: Baby is still up high and I'm not at all dilated. I know it's still early but I was really hoping for some progress.
Questions: None.
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I honestly can't recall anything very memorable. I'm not a prankster and I don't think anyone has really gotten one over on me, at least on April Fools. DH got pranked pretty bad today by his employees, but it turns out it was because they were throwing him a surprise baby shower, which is actually really sweet.
Symptoms: swollen feet/ankles still, cramping, lower back pain, trouble sleeping, also getting pretty damn impatient lol
Rants/Raves: I think I lost my mucus plug over the past couple days!! I know it means next to nada but omg I've been dying for something to happen so yay!!
Questions: none today, gracias
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you?
I cant even remember right now I'm so preoccupied with the fact that I'm due in two weeks. Two weeks!! And tomorrow it'll be One week and six days!!! I'm going a little crazy with anticipation....
Symptoms: Heartburn is really picking up. I'm up to two Zantac a day and some tums here and there. Lightning crotch, constant cramps and contractions.
Rants/Raves: I got everything on my "do before baby arrives" list done. I even got my bag packed, which is a huge deal. I'm really bad at packing it early.
GTKY: I can't really think of anything. I tend not to believe anything anyway.
Symptoms: I've finally started having some serious contractions, more than just braxton hicks.
Rants/Raves:Had an appointment yesterday, I still haven't been checked so I don't know if I am dilated at all, I prefer it that way. Feeling ready to have the baby but knowing that I will probably go overdue again I am completely content waiting it out a few more weeks and enjoying the kids while I don't have a newborn to care for. She went ahead and scheduled my NST and ultrasound for the Monday after my due date.
GTKY: I'm not a fan of April fools day, its just annoying.
Baby #4 Due November 2017!
Symptoms: Feeling huge, so tired I need a nap every day, worsening carpal tunnel, and BH
Rants/Raves: I'm anxious about my RCS scheduled for next Friday. I thought I'd be okay but I've been freaking out since this morning. I also had a growth u/s this AM and am freaking out at the estimated size of this kid (8 pounds, 12 oz already!). It's similar to my other two (size was right on track the whole pregnancy then skyrocketed the last few weeks) but I thought having a 39 week delivery I'd go home with a smaller baby.
Questions: None
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I can't remember which sucks. I used to be a great prankster in my day...
Symptoms: Sleep pain, snoring, foot pain, leg cramps
Rants/Raves: NA
Questions: Will I know when I have contractions? I am not sure I have had any at all. People say your belly gets hard but my belly seems hard all the time anyway and maybe sometimes it seems harder but I don't know really. Can you see contractions?
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? I have never been fooled or fooled anyone.
Week/Fruit/Object: 37/winter melon
Symptoms: lightening vagina, little bits of mucus plug no bloody show, Braxton hicks daily accompanied with cramping
Rants/Raves: ready to be done!! So close or at least I'm hoping. My last two were early hoping for a repeat
Questions: none this week
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? Replaced the sugar with salt in the sugar dispenser at my office.
Symptoms: Definitely starting to feel all the aches and pains. Lower back is always hurtin and the bone seems to pop when I walk? It's weird and uncomfortable.
Rants/Raves: We made it to April! Now she can come out already
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? Don't recall any being done to me that stand out. Although today, my husband told me not to go into labor, because no one would believe me. I was tempted to post it on FB!
Symptoms: Swollen legs, tighter and heavier belly. Super active baby, and lower back pain every day. Feel like her feet will pop out or kick my ribcage when I'm driving.
Rants/Raves: Hemerroids is fun. I'm trying to massage the area down there and it's affecting the massage. Sigh.
I can walk faster than before! Maybe I'll be in nesting mode soon? Been trying to cook more food to freeze for postpartum. It's been a slow process but it feels great to be crossing things off the To-Do list!
So happy my active duty brother says he can visit next month!
Questions: None
GTKY: None that I recall. But when DH and Infirst started dating I joked that my ex contacted me and wanted to get back together with me. Being the extra jealous, possessive guy he is, he was still upset after I said "April Fool's!" It took a few hours for him to get over it himself and talk to me again!
@Knottie2891384 did you check out the california board?
Symptoms: some foot/ ankle swelling, pelvic pressure (yay head down baby), frequent waddles to the bathroom, and apparently crying easily is back
Rants/Raves: My husband has been doing everything around the house. Dishes, cleaning the kitchen, taking care of pets, preparing meals for us - all while working 12 hour shifts and getting our old house ready for sale. So lucky.
Questions: Who wants to pack my hospital bag?
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? not into AFD.
Symptoms: So much swelling in my hands
Rants/Raves: Almost completely effaced and 2-3 cm dilated according to my Friday visit!! I'm so ready for this baby to be OUT OF ME.
Questions: None except WHEN??
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? In high school my class filled a forty foot long hallway completely with half-full glasses of water, blocking all the senior administration's offices. That was pretty epic.
Symptoms: Contractions, cramps, lots of pelvic pain
Rants/Raves: Got my pre baby hair cut, DH cleaned out the garage so I can park in it... just getting more and more prepped for baby. Ready for her to be here, but also hoping she stays a little longer!
Questions: Nada
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? April Fools Day isn't really my thing...
Symptoms: other than not sleeping well, this week I feel pretty good- baby's not too high and not too low so I'm actually quite comfortable at the moment... I can do this for a couple more weeks
Rants/Raves: Not this week- just ready to meet this little one and find out what team we are!
Questions: Anyone else not feeling many BH? I get the occasional mense cramp-like pain but no indication of a lot happening...My clinic doesn't really do cervical checks, they just assume everything is progressing as it should unless they're given reason to believe otherwise... so no idea where I'm at (not that it matters anyway)...
GTKY - What was the most memorable April Fools Day prank you've ever done or had done to you? \
When I was in school I used to come home and have a hard boiled egg every day (after Easter)... my mom and I got into a prank war my senior year of high school and she took the time to dye an entire dozen raw eggs....I cracked and cleaned up 3 before I realized what was happening
Good luck mamas! We're almost there!
