Upcoming appointments? I see my OB tomorrow. I'm excited because my incision stitches are still hurting SO bad and they said if its not better by the time I see him, to let him know. We are also getting a growth scan and an echo of LOs heart. Since we have a single artery umbilical cord, it can affect heart development. None of my previous scans have shown signs for concern but OB wants to take a closer look.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone else feel like we are so close, yet so far at the same time? Time is weird
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Symptoms - lower back pain, but in one muscle specifically on one side. I looked up a diagram of a person and I believe its my interior oblique that is causing me pain. Also where my hips meet my glutes is super sore. I have a massage Thursday and start physio Friday for my back so I'm excited about that. Cravings - all things sugar. oreos, gummy worms, fudgeeos
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? A) of all time, probably Lost currently, probably Game of Thrones
Upcoming appointments? 28 week appointment was today, everything was good and my doctor was not concerned about hemoglobin only being 0.1 over the threshold of normal. Also can scratch the TDap off my list!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I forgot to ask for my breast pump prescription today.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Leg/hip pain at night, heartburn, leaky boobs and being out of breath all the time.
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? Of all time, probably parks and recreation and currently modern family
Upcoming appointments? I have my 32 week appt next Tuesday.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm so glad that we had a fun weekend with our girls, but I'm exhausted. I did not sleep well in the hotel at all. I had a huge list of things to do today and I've accomplished nothing. Oh well.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions: Getting out of breath super easily. I brought laundry downstairs and came back up and was huffing and puffing. Walking up from the beach was also a disaster. I hate it. I know it's pregnancy related, but it makes me feel so out of shape.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV show a) of all time b) currently? A) Golden Girls. I never get tired of it. b) Catastrophe or RHONY (I'm a sucker for Bravo tv shows)
Appt tomorrow. We're completely off the schedule and it seems like I'm going every week to 10 days. This one is weight, fundal height, BP. Maybe TDAP?
Rants / Raves -just found out my son (14y) made an Instagram account for one of his friends who wasn't allowed to have one. So his friend is grounded from his phone all summer. Part of me is really mad bc my son should have known better, if this other kid was allowed to have one (my son was told he just wasn't allowed to have the app on his phone bc it took too much data) his mom would have helped him make the account. But the other part of me is just glad that they're not doing drugs or trying to have sex.
Symptoms, etc - my hips feel like a chicken wishbone about to snap! I can't sit for too long but can't stand for too long either. And dragon fire heartburn. And profound tiredness.
GTKY - I don't watch much TV. its nerdy but wheel of fortune and jeopardy are the shows I've watched throughout the years. Maybe twice a month now? Work schedule precludes being home at prime time. I am one of those people who believe I could win on Wheel of Fortune.
What size? A gallon of milk, supposedly, but at the last ultrasound she was still measuring ahead (30 weeks at 28+1!)
Upcoming appointments? 3 hour glucose test on Thursday... not excited. Hoping to pass, but not hoping too hard. Expecting another failure.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Mostly I'm upset with myself for not watching my diet better. I was so concerned with not eating enough in the first trimester because I was depressed that when the second trimester hit and I felt better I went off the deep end.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Doesn't matter, officially on diet mode. Symptoms are RLP coming back, more rib and back pain, and I drool everywhere when I'm sleeping. I'm a beautiful specimen of woman.
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? A) Don't have one and B ) don't have one. Don't watch a lot of TV. We have Netflix, but I don't really binge shows unless I'm extremely depressed.
@jln27 If you're beating yourself up about what you ate because you failed hour 1 hr glucose test, please don't. What you eat does not cause GD. Whether or not your body is able to produce all the extra insulin it needs during pregnancy is the cause. Hoping the best for you on your 3 hr.
How many weeks? 30 weeks! (And 1 day... because I'm late)
What size? A platypus (minus the tail)
Upcoming appointments? I had one yesterday. Next one is on the 21st if my new dose of meds bring my sugar down. If not, she wants to see me next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Carpet is being installed in the nursery today!!! I'm so excited to see it done. I'm going to repaint the trim next (seems counterintuitive to do it after new carpet, but they could scuff the trim during installation) . Then the furniture gets assembled!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Eh, not feeling many cravings or aversions. And no new symptoms.
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently?
A) Hard to narrow it down, but probably "Arrested Development" B ) "The Middle"
What size? Head of lettuce, can't remember the others
Upcoming appointments? Had one today (wednesday). All looks good, u/s next week to check on a placental lake
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada, time is still flying. If august crawls that's ok by me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nada
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently Wooooah, way too hard. Of all time - The Wonder Years? Although I could list about 300 others, but most of them had a bad season. The Wonder Years is just so classic, and the music is phenomenal Currently - Girls? Game of Thrones? Transparent? Hard to say, all current shows go up and down for me.
Thanks for starting this...yesterday was the first day of summer school and then I was at my parents and I just didn't get around to bump!
How many weeks? 29 weeks
What size? Acorn squash
Upcoming appointments? Monday - 30 week appointment. DS also has a pretty important appointment with his nephrologist (kidney doctor) that day so it'll be a busy day of doctors. Thankfully the appointments are spread out, since they are also about an hour apart from each other distance wise
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've slept like crap the past 2 nights. I'm hoping it's because I slept at my parents house and not in my own bed. We have a temperpedic type bed (not that brand, but same idea) and they just have a regular bed and I definitely sleep much better in the bed that conforms to my changing body. I'm looking forward to bed tonight lol. Last night the whole night I kept thinking "I can't feel the baby move, what if something's wrong" and that likely contributed to my lack of sleep. He's been moving today just fine, thankfully.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Nothing really unless you count lack of sleep
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? Gilmore Girls - all time, currently I get most excited for new episodes of Walking Dead but since that season is out until October, my summer show is Big Brother!
(I was having a bad, bad day yesterday, so I'm a tardy bumper. Sorry!)
How many weeks? 30
What size? Zucchini
Upcoming appointments? Just had one today. Babies are good and I don't have any real signs of preterm labor, which is also good. I go back in two weeks and will then start weekly appointments with biophysical profiles and NSTs for the babies.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not today
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? My only predominant symptom is feeling like these babies are going to fall out of me at any moment.
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? A) Way too many to count. Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Friends, Party of Five (showing my age), Parenthood. Game of Thrones and Girls
*Edited to add that the sunglass emoji completely added itself. So, so weird.
@Ssoccerball - just seeing this now, everything ok??
Awww, that's so sweet of you to ask! Yes, everything is fine. I have a cold, I was crazy busy at work and was just generally in a funk. I didn't have time to do any of the really important things in life, like check the Bump and shop!
@camichael84 That's very kind of you. Unfortunately I did fail the 3 hour and have been diagnosed with GD, but I know if I do everything I can to manage it things will be fine.
@jln27 I'm sorry to hear you failed your 3 hr. I hope you'll join the weekly GD thread on here. It's been helpful for me to have the support of the other moms that have been diagnosed with GD on this board.
Upcoming appointments? had one today and then every week till birth
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a growth u/s today and baby girl is measuring in the 12% (10% is IUGR) and borderline low fluid. I now go weekly for growth u/s and NST. They are guessing she will be here in 4-6 weeks.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Insomnia and acid reflux with anything I eat
GTKY: What's your favourite TV show A) of all time B ) currently? a)Lost b) the waking dead
