Wednesday Ticker Change

Doesn't look like anyone's started this yet, so ...

How many weeks today? 

How big is baby (fruit size or other)?

Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?

What is coming up next?

Questions?

GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor?

  • How many weeks today? 27

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? lettuce, apparently (these fruit/veggie comparisons get so weird at this stage in the game)

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?  DS1 is just about potty trained! And we are setting up his big boy room, hopefully moving him out of the nursery in the next couple weeks. We are also getting a new (to us) car tomorrow night!

    What is coming up next? My next appointment isn't til 6/15. I did just pass my GD test on Friday (yay!)

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? 

    My MIL will be taking care of DS1 since she lives closer (we have a great relationship). My parents are over an hour away and they tend to be super busy, so I don't want to rely on them being available. They'll be backup.
    Other than the parents (maybe siblings), no one will know we're in labor. We'll announce after he is born.

    How many weeks today? 29

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? a butternut squash, a cottontail rabbit or a pineapple.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? My hips hurt but otherwise feeling good!

    What is coming up next? My monthly appointment/group class is on Friday. The crib is up so now we need to get the rest of the room in order!

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)? Just DH will be in the room during pushing but I'm fine if my mom is in there as labor progresses. We'll also be calling DH's parent's but they may not make the 2 hour drive until baby is here or close. I'll also notify some close friends.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? lettuce

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Other than LO using my cervix as a trampoline, no complaints. 

    What is coming up next? My last 4 week check up is next Wednesday then every 2 weeks after that. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? 

    I'm a scheduled c section so my parents will have DD while we are in the hospital. 
  • @Lynnlove28 Oops, I shouldn't have assumed everyone is just "waiting to go into labor." Sorry to exclude the scheduled c-sections! (I envy you a little just because you can plan a little better. One pro of a scheduled c-section; I know there are lots of cons too!)

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Eggplant

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Some sciatica pain every now and then. 

    What is coming up next? Last monthly appt and glucose test this Friday. 

    Questions? Did any of you eat anything special before glucose test or not within x amount of hrs beforehand? What did you eat for breakfast before it?

    Idk why but I am nervous for this. I know there is no prep or fasting needed, but I don't want to fail. 

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? Just DH will be in room when it's time to push. My mom, MIL and a couple SILs were in room up until it was time to push. That was fine. 

    My my mom has offered to take DS when the time comes but she doesn't drive and we live ~45 mins from her. I was thinking about buying a booster car seat with harness straps to leave with MIL or a SIL so they can have it in their car and come to us when it's time then bring him to my mom.

  • @telicious2 I would just avoid sugar (including fruit) and simple carbohydrates, which your body will turn into sugar. If you must have carbs, have whole grains, and go for proteins before the test (eggs, meat, nuts, yogurt, etc.). 

    My test was at noon and I had a bowl of (non sugary) cereal for breakfast. I passed no problem.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Acorn squash

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Just extremely moody this week. 

    What is coming up next? Up to appointments every two weeks, so just a normal checkup the first week of June. 

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? 

    The only people we plan on telling are my parents since they will come up to take care of our dog. Only DH will be in the room and I don't want anyone waiting in the hospital (which my parents are already aware of).

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? An acorn squash

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? So much tightness in the belly... I am all baby and have no idea how I'm going to accommodate her continuous growing. 

    What is coming up next? We have our first "2 week" check up next Wednesday and another u/s 2 weeks after that. Our 28 week was supposed to be our last u/s, but since she's breeched they want to do another to see if she flips.

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? My best friend will get the first call since she'll be coming down to be in the room w/ hubby and I. My mom will be notified as soon as get to the hospital since she has to catch a flight from Florida.

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)?
    Cottontail rabbit or a... Barbie convertible? 

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?
    Oddly enough I feel like I've gotten a little energy back.

    What is coming up next?
    Baby shower on Sunday, yay! Three hour glucose on Monday since I failed the one-hour, boo!

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? 
    We'll probably let my dad, my BFF and my in-laws know once we get settled in at the hospital. If they want to come visit, great... But they know the delivery room is off-limits while I'm pushing and for the first hour or two afterwards.

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms?
    Pretty good, heartburn and a low baby on my bladder. Feeling him lots the last few days which is great. Can't believe there are still 3 more months of growth for this belly! 

    What is coming up next? 
    GD test and Tdap at my 2 wk appointment on Monday. 

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? 
    I'll let work know not to expect me in. Will also likely text my best friend. DH will be there, and hopefully a doula (just met her last night), possibly my mom.

    How many weeks today? 26

    How big is baby (fruit size or other)? Baby is the size of a slow Loris

    Rants/ Raves/ Symptoms? Like @BritMC18, I have no idea how I can get any bigger for this baby and he isn't even my first! I feel like this may be the biggest baby I will have.

    What is coming up next? Next appointment is June 3rd, then every 2 week appointments start.

    Questions?

    GTKY: Who will you tell you're in labor (if anyone)/who will be in the room with you besides your SO (if anyone)?  For STMs+, do you have a plan in place for who will watch your older kid(s) when you go into labor? My mom and MIL. One of them will have our other kids. They know not to come to the hospital until we let them know it's ok. No one will be in the room with dh and I except for the doctors and nurses who need to be.
