    What size is baby? A fucking god damn pumpkin and shit does it feel like it @ 19.9 inches and 7.24 lbs 

    Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow I'll be checked for dialiation, last week I was already 2cm 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Ready to be done. Sick of people asking "you're still pregnant, when are you due, why are you still working " 

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Really craving vinegar things, but it gives me heartburn sooo bad. And I can't wait to dig my teeth into a wegmans turkey sub! 

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth? EDD is August 29, Team Green, natural planned so far, baby #2 and I fear pooping on the table

  • How far along? 37 weeks!

    What size is baby? 
    Romaine Lettuce, skunk, honeydew - probably ~6.5 lbs

    Upcoming appointments?
    Just the standard weeklies - every Wednesday until LO arrives!

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    Packed my hospital bag tonight!  My local friends are throwing a baby-que for DH and I this weekend, so that'll be fun.  DH is interviewing for jobs this week, which is awesome, but they're all in Atlanta (3 hrs away) and now I'm nervous they'll want him to start basically right when the baby is coming.

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? 
    Baby must be low, since every night when activity is highest I'm getting painful swipes across my low pelvis.Glad if it means LO is getting into position, but not so thrilled about 3-ish weeks of painful movement.

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth?? 

    • EDD: 9/12
    • Team Green!
    • Vaginal birth + epidural is the plan
    • This is Baby #1
    • TW: Biggest fear - fetal injury or death, but biggest practical fears are the epidural not working and having lots of tearing or laboring for hours and hours and ending up with a c-section, so double the recovery.

    What size is baby? 
    Rhubarb? I swear these comparisons aren't put in the right order

    Upcoming appointments? 
    37 week check this Friday. Having an US to see if my fluids are still high. Not sure what will happen if they are.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    My mom came by and helpede deep clean my kitchen and bathrooms today. Such a huge help!

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?
    My hips/pelvic bone hurt so bad and I'm nervous about giving birth again. Everything went fine last time (just painful), trying to get in an excited frame of mind.

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth?? 
     
    EDD 9/12 (woot @Jabreen we are due date buddies)
    Vaginal birth + med free 
    Biggest fear is not making it to the hospital. DS was born in 1 hr 45 min, my OB is counting on this being a <1 hour labor. Fun fact - I am 47 minutes away from the hospital.

    Ooh Dear!! I hope you make it in time! I thought I was in "trouble" w/ #1 being a 6 hr labor and OBs worried about fast progression as well, I too live about 35-45 mins from hospital depending on traffic.

    What size is baby?
    Big! Can't remember what the bump says lol
    Upcoming appointments?
    Wednesday normal check up
    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I guess mostly the usual. You havnt popped yet? When are you going to start maternity leave? Etc... Gah!!
    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?
    no symptoms, this whole pregnancy has been awesome in that aspect. Finally getting to the point that sleeping really sucks and waking up to pee every 2-3 hours is just getting me used to when LO is here!

    Edd: September 1st!
    Team : pink! 
    Planning on natural without epidural; but definitely not taking it off the table! 
    Baby #1!!
    Biggest fear:
    something happening with baby, lonnnng labor that ends in emergency c section. She is in a good position atm for a natural so I'm crossing my fingers!!

    What size is baby?
    A carton of one dozen eggs

    Upcoming appointments?
    Next week we see if baby has flipped.  I'm pretty sure he is still breech.  

    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Went on the hospital tour and the facilities are really nice. 

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?
    Not really.

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth?? 
    Blue
    All depends on if my little man will flip out of breech for natural vs c-section.  I really don't want a c-section.  
    Fears: Besides the worst case scenarios, I guess c-section, very long labor, and somehow H missing it and being all alone.

    What size is baby? 
    Huge

    Upcoming appointments? 
    Thursday, just a weekly check-in.  Thought cervical checks started last week, but dr said he isn't going to start until next week, boo.  

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    I am over being pregnant at this point.  I know baby needs to grow more and I'm great with that (it's not like I'm going to have to wait longer than 4 or so weeks at this point= end in sight), but I am not going to be pleasant about being in pain anymore to people when they ask.  My hips/pelvis feels broken, I can't pee, but feel like I have to all the time bc baby is punching my bladder like it's her job.  I'm betting she's at 8+ lbs already based on dd1, heartburn, sweaty everything, etc.  People somehow keep telling me I'm glowing.  No, but cute lies :)

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? 
    Still, I want pizza and ice cream every night.  DH is getting sick of this and just side-eyes me and decides on dinner himself now.  

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, 
    9/12 also!
    Team, 
    Pink
    natural vs CSection,
    Natural, but hopefully an epidural again.

    biggest fear about birth?? 
    That this baby is going to be late too.  Also, the whole pain of giving birth part.  I must have forgotten about that, just remembered last night.  Cue anxiety attack.

    July: Patriotic Fails

  • @Ampip2270 my OB is looking for any reason they can to induce at 39 weeks to make sure I'm in a hospital setting. I am usually against unnecessary inductions but am finding myself open to it this time around. The thought of giving birth in a car is not appealing.
  • How far along? 35 weeks

    What size is baby? 
    pineapple

    Upcoming appointments? 
    Growth scan on Wednesday

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    Hearing those "you're still pregnant? when are you due again? you look like you're ready to go" comments

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? 
    Apples. I'm so excited for apple season / picking. 

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth?? 
    Team blue, c-section scheduled at 39 weeks on 9/19, baby #2. I'm not worried about birth, I'm worried about latching and breastfeeding going well and baby losing weight. And all the feels big sister is going to have when she has to share her parents. And I'm a little worried about how small the hospital room and fold out chair for H (he's 6'3") looked during the tour!
  • How far along? 36 weeks!

    What size is baby? Cantaloupe or something?

    Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow's my Group B Strep test and my chance to finally see how big baby girl is. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Is anyone else feeling anxious about breastfeeding? I'm doing that overload of information thing I do when I'm anxious and it ain't helping! If milk doesn't come in for several days, how does baby get fed? Probably a rookie question but it's all new to me!

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Back to sweets which is all bad for my weight gain, which is supposed to slow down at this point. Sigh...almost there. 

    GTKY: since we're so close can we do a EDD, Team, natural vs CSection, baby # and biggest fear about birth??  Praying for a mostly natural birth but I'm open to meds. Biggest fear is it being overdue and having labor last for several days!
  • @nanibrooks15 the first few days baby gets colostrum which is a very rich substance full of so much good stuff. Babies bellies are so so so tiny they wouldn't be able to handle more than a few drops at any point anyway. Here's a good visual. and I'm not just a "know it all" I'm about to pass my accreditation to be a league leader for LeLeche League International.
