Re: Weekend Ticker Change 4/9-4/10
Recent/upcoming appointments: Last OB appointment on Wed. Then C Section!
Rants/raves/symptoms?: LO is facing forward and I can feel all his kicking and punching ouch! Stupid rain is keeping me from walking around and can't drive anywhere due to expired license (thank you DMV!)
I honestly think I'm going to start crying even before I see LO. I'm excited and scared and omg I get to finally hold him and I'll soon have most of my body to myself (he will still own my boobs
Recent/upcoming appointments: Appt yesterday for contractions - 3 mins apart, lasting a minute, but they did NOTHING for my cervix...
Rants/raves/symptoms?: GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME
Recent/upcoming appointments: 4/14 regular check
Rants/raves/symptoms?:
GTKY: I look forward to not being pregnant,enjoying a nice glass of vino, and not waddling when I walk
how has it been with the forward facing?? My mom had that with my sister and it came with horrible back pain
Recent/upcoming appointments: Next week.
Rants/raves/symptoms?: DH has finally agreed to stick with my doc, I found a doula that I feel comfy with, and my mom's got her plane ticket! You can come anytime now, baby!
Recent/upcoming appointments: As of my last appt, was still 1cm but moved up from 50% to "not quite 70%"... Hoping to have more progress on my appt Thursday if we make it that long.
Rants/raves/symptoms?: Everyone keeps saying, you must be so tired/done/over it... Really not feeling bad though! Yes I'm having more pain, more contractions, more everything... But it's not overwhelming yet. As some others have said, baby is still active, and dare I say more active than usual?!
Recent/upcoming appointments: I had one Thurs and I was 3cm 60% effaced and a very anterior cervix. I have an ultrasound and NST Monday if I make it through the weekend, which I'm sure I will!
Rants/raves/symptoms?: baby is posterior, I'm planning for a med free birth again and the thought of back labor is really freaking me out. I saw my mom have my brother when I was 14 and he was posterior and she was in so much pain I swore I'd never have children.
Baby #4 Due November 2017!
@Daniep08 how are you doing with your baby being posterior? How's your back doing?
Recent/upcoming appointments: Just had one yesterday. 2cm dilated and very soft but high cervix. She said "maybe a tax day baby?"
Rants/raves/symptoms?: I've had a cold for two weeks now and it's really bumming me out! Been doing everything possible to take care of myself but I think it just needs to run its course. Over it. Hoping it's almost gone as I really want to be in the best health possible when labor starts.
Recent/upcoming appointments: I had an appointment Wednesday. We did the GBS test and he checked my cervix. I'm at a 2, which is normal for this time frame. I won't have him check again. Next appointment is Thursday.
Symptoms?: Contractions! My heavens are they annoying. Last night I was having contractions that were waking me up and coming every 10 minutes, for hours. And then, they just stopped and nothing since.
Rants/Raves: The dh is finally coming home this weekend after being gone for a few weeks, but he's only able to be home for maybe 2 days. Next time he's home is the weekend of the induction, but I think I'm going to cancel it because I REALLY hate being induced, so there's that.
Recent/upcoming appointments:
So many appointments! Wednesday they saw that my amniotic fluid was at 6.5, which is low. My MW gave me a chance to go home and drink a ton of water to see what it did for me, but the next day it was still at 6.8. On Friday I visited a specialist for a third ultrasound, and the numbers finally looked a little higher around 8.5. That doctor told me I needed continuous monitoring, ultrasounds every 2 days, and if my fluid drops below a 5 then I'm going to be induced immediately. I have been drinking a ton of water, peeing constantly, and monitoring fetal movements all weekend. Super worried about my little man, I want him to come out on his own!
Rants/raves/symptoms?:
No real symptoms. I'm forever craving a nap, but honestly I was like that pre-pregnancy.
- Working out
- Flopping on to my bed, on my stomach, after a hot shower
- Fitting into my clothes
- Sex!! My babe and I haven't had sex in months. He's a belly-phobe, and it hurts anyway so I was cool with that.
Baby #4 Due November 2017!
Recent/upcoming appointments: Weekly appointment Thursday, plus a second growth ultrasound on Friday (baby was already measuring 7+ pounds at 36 weeks, and I've got a family history of very large babies). I'm reading between the lines, but guessing that my doc would prefer that I not go too far beyond my due date, so we'll see what happens.
Rants/raves/symptoms?: Major back pain. Pelvic pain. Feels like all my internal organs are ready to fall out of my vag. Also, apparently mucus plugs are GROSS. Tired and emotional.
Recent/Upcoming Appointments: Every Thursday. Last one I was 2cm/60%.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm just starting to feel a little bit jealous of all of these outside babies! SPD pain is at an all-time high and I've caught a couple of nasty stomach bugs lately, I'm so over it. Sigh.. soon enough!
Questions?: Nah..
GTKY: Wine, roll over in bed/sit up/stand up after sitting on floor/walk without feeling like my pelvis is separating at the seams, have comfortable sex, pick up and carry my 5yo occasionally.. I'm also really looking forward to putting my baby wearing devices to good use! 12 weeks of freedom from work to snuggle with a sweet squishy bebe sounds pretty wonderful.
Week/fruit: 39
Recent/upcoming appointments: Had an appointment on Wed. My midwife suggested that I get a cervix check because of all of the contractions I've been having. I was 3 cm, 80% effaced, and baby at 0 station. She said that she thought I would have him that week since he's my second. Welp, I'm still pregnant, so....
Rants/raves/symptoms?: I just don't want to be pregnant anymore. At all.
Recent/upcoming appointments: Wednesday - last week I was 1cm & 80% so I'm really hoping for some progress!
Rants/raves/symptoms?: Rant - I feel worthless just sitting here on the couch, but my back hurts so bad and I'm supposed to be resting. Rave - My husband is actually forcing me to take it easy and helping out around the house/cooking dinner. Don't know what I'd do without him! Symptoms - intense lower back pain, contractions, just general discomfort.
