Re: Weekend Ticker Change 5/7 & 5/8
Symptoms/raves/rants? Ankles are constantly swollen at this point so I've given up on trying to help them get back to normal. Sore feet. Seems like my back pain has improved and it's obvious baby has dropped by looking at my bump (although I can't really feel any difference) so I'm wondering if her dropping has helped my back? Surprisingly I've been feeling better overall the past two days.
Appointment update? Monday, I think I'll get my first cervical check since I didn't get one last week.
Questions for the group? None
What's left on your to-do list? It's pretty much done! My last big task was freezer meals and I'm so glad they're done! Tuesday we'll sign our legal paperwork (wills, guardianship, medical/financial) and my husband has to fix the woring in the nursery for the video monitor. My niece & nephew are over for the weekend so I thought it was a good opportunity to test it out and we found out it makes this super annoying morse code sound when the volume is on at all...so we might put that on mute and get a normal monitor to pick up the sound. So we're problem solving with the kids here. Also Husband picked up a couple pairs of shorts which is his way of getting ready for the hospital & week home with the baby. Other than that we're ready!
Symptoms/raves/rants? Rib pain is so awful I can barely take it. This past week I have had a new pain with it and the best way to describe it as someone taking a rubber band and snapping it against your already sore skin. I asked my ob and his response " oh its a pregnancy pain...it will go away when she's here" joking as he has no idea what to say. Gee thanks. Anybody else having this?
Appointment update? Had one yesterday. Everything is good and I progressed a little from 1 to 1.5 cm in a week. My next appt is Wednesday.
Questions for the group? none
What's left on your to-do list? Officially pack the hospital bag. I have everything separated out- labor, toiletries, PP. Need to go to grocery store and get everything for freezer meals. Theres still some things I would like to do around the house but if she comes before its done, I don't really care.
Symptoms/raves/rants? Just ready to be done. I'm tired of willing my water to break! It's disappointing not to have any prelabor symptoms.
Appointment update? No more appointments. Just induction on Thursday... Unless I can get her to come earlier!
Questions for the group? Are you guys taking anything to the hospital to "entertain" yourself? Books? Music?
What's left on your to-do list? Just pack dh bag. We got the car seat done today so score!
How many weeks/fruit? 38!
Symptoms/raves/rants? Some back pain, but am feeling surprisingly good overall!
Appointment update? Appointment on Tuesday. Last week I had a rather painful cervical check and was determined to not be dilated at all.
Questions for the group? None
What's left on your to-do list? Pack hospital bag and sort out short-term disability paperwork. And install the car seat base in my car (I'm not too bothered since DH's car is all set to go to the hospital)
Symptoms/raves/rants? This achy pain in my lower belly. Does that mean the baby has dropped?? I'm so tired and my ribs hurt. Ready to get these next three weeks over with.
Appointment update? Have one Monday. My last I was dilated 2 cm so hoping for more this week.
Questions for the group? Anyone else feel like they have been pregnant forever? lol
What's left on your to-do list? I need to pack my bag but last time I didn't use half of what I brought so I think that is why I'm stalling.
Symptoms/raves/rants? I'm ignoring all of my symptoms this weekend.
Appointment update? Monday, May 9th is our repeat c-s!! We are blessed to have made it this far! If you have a friend/family member use the weekly progesterone injections to try to prevent preterm labor & delivery - you can count me as a success story!!
Questions for the group?
What's left on your to-do list? I'm sure there are things that won't get done, but we are pretty much ready! Just planning to spend the day with the twins tomorrow and getting really hydrated before surgery on Monday. Ok I just thought of a few: sterilize pump parts and a few bottles, recheck the twins' carseats in their new position (or ask DH to), and make a quick Target return and get a few groceries. Feel free to mop the kitchen. Call mom and sister for Mother's Day and Birthday!

Symptoms: I also have that awful rib pain which I don't get because I'd think he's lower now so why would that happen now?
Appointment: coming up on Tuesday the last one before it's my pre op appointment! YAY!
Questions for the group: does anyone else ever get this sensation like they're being punched in the vagina from the inside?? What is that??
Whats left to do: decorate nursery walls, install car seat bases, and pack hospital bag.

Symptoms/raves/rants? Negative words, followed by more negative words. But seriously, everything started going kak this week, I am sore, can't sleep and I am just over it now.
Appointment update? Had one on Thursday. Wasn't meant to go, but had a weird pain similar to what @pooputtettedescribed (but on the inside if that makes sense) so I went to make sure all was fine. Baby is fine and apparently a big baby. Have my last one this Thursday before my c-section on the 17th.
What's left on your to-do list? Have this baby. And sterilise bottles, but that's it. Enjoy time with DH.
How many weeks/fruit? 40 wks/ watermelon
Symptoms/raves/rants? Intense lightening crotch is about all I've got other then the other aches and pains I've become accustomed to.
Appointment update? I have an appointment Thursday that I'm hoping I don't make it to. If nothing happens by Thursday my OB will stretch and sweep, will wait over next weekend, and induce on the 16th if nothing happens naturally.
Questions for the group? Not that we had any control over it but, have any of you found that having a weekend due date puts a crinkle in things? Everything with my doc seems to be off because we have to get over the weekend hurdle. For example, my induction isn't until Monday the 16th because technically I won't be 41 weeks until after the weekend and inductions aren't done on the weekend. The weekend just seems to add extra days/ time.
What's left on your to-do list? Have this baby. Everything else is ready to go.
DD: 05/14/16
Rants/raves/symptoms: difficultly sleeping, more swelling
Upcoming appts: tomorrow, not anticipating any progress.
GTKY: I finally made progress in the nursery, so other than bringing some more stuff down from the attic, and packing the bag, I feel good! I am probably going to wait and see what the dr says tomorrow.
This is could be my last pregnanct, so doing my best to embrace the misery of the last few days!!
I did also have an issue with weekend due date - but it ended up working in my/our favor. My OB and MFM said they need to have my c-section between 36-37weeks based on my previous c-section being a Classical Incision. I pushed for 37weeks, and because my particular OB doesn't schedule c-s for the weekends, I got Monday Morning! (tomorrow!) I will be 37wks and 2 days. I am happy to get to cook my baby this long
Mama to Three Girls:

How many weeks/fruit? 37 - romaine lettuce
Symptoms/raves/rants? Wicked bad sciatic pain, heart burn and can no longer sleep more than three hours at a time
Appointment update? Had an appointment Friday to schedule inductor and then tomorrow I have my last appointment and last lab work before induction on Friday the 13th!
Questions for the group?
What's left on your to-do list? A few more freezer meals
Symptoms/raves/rants? newly swollen feet, lightening crotch, pressure, super f***ing depressed today, which isn't like me
Appointment update? this Wednesday for cervical. Last week I was 1 cm and 50%. My girlfriend snuck me in for a growth scan and said baby is around 6 lbs 10 oz...but who knows.
Questions for the group? nope, just hope you all had a great Mother's Day!
What's left on your to-do list? get the car seats inspected, thank you cards, freezer meals and finish packing my bag. DH needs to do his too, but that's not my job!
