Upcoming appointments? Next Friday... Or will it?!?!?!?
Rants/Raves/Questions? Tons of practice contractions on top of Braxton hicks on top of mystery leaking fluid (almost positive not amniotic)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I am craving to get this baby out of me!
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? I had these SWEET stone-washed jeans that had different color paint splatters all over them. I think I was in 4th grade or so...
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? - i had these super, super baggy Tommy Hilfiger jeans (picture Jnco style) in 7th grade, god i loved them so much, i probably wore them like 3 days out of the week...
Upcoming appointments? Wed for weight check and to get his ear molds adjusted
Rants/Raves/Questions? I haven't slept in 3 weeks. Rant over.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I can eat hummus again!! I love hummus but when pregnant it made me want to barf. I ate almost a whole container of sabra supremely spicy hummus and cheese its for lunch and have no shame.
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? I've always loved accessories and remember having matching earrings, bracelets, headbands, etc to all my little outfits. Oh the 90s...
What size? Per ultrasound yesterday, 7 lb 14 oz (OMG!)
Upcoming appointments? I was 3 cm and 80% effaced yesterday so hoping I go into labor soon, if not, then next Friday for 39 week appt.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My DH's reaction to the 3 cm/80% was priceless. There was definitely shock and 'OMG it could happen this weekeend!?!' I really don't think he thought LO could come before the 16th.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? French Onion soup....all the French Onion Soup
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? Regretfully I must confess....stirrup pants. I freaking wore those things way beyond their cool date, but I loved having stretchy pants that didn't ride up. I had them in every imaginable color. Mom wanted me to wear dresses, I was all about the stirrup pants. I miss those pants some days....
Upcoming appointments? 40 week appointment on Tuesday and if nothing has changed we are going to start to plan an induction.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am just so uncomfortable when I sleep. It's awful. I cannot wait to be able to roll over again
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I've been losing weight again so my OB has b been yelling at me to gain more so I've been eating such crap food but it's been great hahaha
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? I had a winnie the pooh outfit that was a purple shirt with a demin overall situation. It was so cute and I wore it alll the time. I went to a private school so I had to wear a uniform most of the time but when we got a "dress down day" I always wore the pooh outfit
What size? Lettuce? I feel like TB has used this one before to describe baby's size...
Upcoming appointments? This afternoon. I'll find out my GBS results.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Woke up with a soar throat really hoping I am not getting sick. A coworker came into the office this week telling everyone he was sick and had a fever! I yelled at him to go home and he said he didn't want to bc he was bored at home. WTF! Glad my last day in the office is next Tuesday.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Was craving Tacos so bad this week so DH took me out to dinner last night. Win-Win bc I got my tacos AND didn't have to cook or clean up!
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? The only piece of clothing I really remember being into was these purple corduroy overalls that I wore with a purple plaid shirt. Farmer chic I guess!
HAPPY SEPTEMBER!!! If you already have your LO in your arms, please still participate!
How many weeks? 38
What size? Winter melon
Upcoming appointments? Tuesday for a check up and scheduled CS Friday. They changed all my damn dates on me.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? High blood pressure the last few appointments but when I checked yesterday it was down so I'm feel much better about that.
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? I wore hoodies all the time. Loved being warm.
Upcoming appointments? Just left one! Got swabbed, had a positioning US, and she's head down. Woo! Now I'm up for an appointment every week until little lady shows up!
Rants/Raves/Questions? had to run for the train this morning. That was....interesting.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Lots of foot swelling and cankles lately, and contractions here and there. Spoke to MD about both this morning, all is good! Also I've been dying for some pepperoni pizza. That may be necessary for lunch today.
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? Ok, embarrassingly, it was a pink poodle skirt that my mom made me. I wore this thing all through elementary school (yep, if you're picturing Sandy in Grease, you got it). The worst part is one day I remember all the boys sitting down on the ground and telling me to spin for them. I thought they just thought my poodle skirt was pretty... Until my teacher came running over because what I was actually doing was willingly (though unknowingly) showing all the boys my underwear.
What size? He was 5lbs 4oz as of Monday. Not sure what random veggie he is this week. Upcoming appointments? Tuesday for GBS swab and check up. Rants/Raves/Questions? I am super excited to have my primary care back in the hands of my midwife! That said, I am finding the thought of her doing checks and swabs a little uncomfortable as she is also one of my closest friends. Guess we are embarking on a whole new level of friendship!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm craving sexy time oddly enough, even though I am feeling all sorts of icky and blob-like. And ice cream. Always ice cream.
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? Oversized sweaters and colourful boots. I lived in my blue Dr Martins. Not much has changed...
Natural M/C 03.26.2012 at 10w2d Charlotte born at 28w3d due to severe IUGR on 12.24.2012 Merry Christmas! Missed M/C discovered 12.22.2014 at 8w1d measuring 6w3d 2015 was a year to test strength of both body and character, but it led us to this... BFP 01.26.2016 EDD 9.30.2016
What size? Pumpkin, french grain sack, mini skateboard, cat. I'm guessing about 7.5lbs or so... Hopefully not bigger!
Upcoming appointments? NST soon and 40w appointment next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Yay, pre e. Ugh. That happened this week. OB says I'm developing pre e so now on modified bedrest/light activity until baby comes or until they decide to induce. I've posted about this in other threads but I really hope she comes on her own soon so I can avoid the induction. I feel like having an induction will throw my birth plan out the window but I'll do whatever needs to be done for baby, I just want her to be okay, obviously. I've been having contractions every hour (3-12 per hour!) for six days. Did some spinning babies last night and immediately they got painful and at every 4-5 minutes but were again spread apart by the time I woke up. Boooo.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Headaches (due to high bp), so tired, so many BH and painful contractions, hip and lower back pain from baby dropping more and more, nausea here and there and so.much.gas.
GTKY: Depends on my age I guess. When I was little, I loved wearing a knitted dress that used to be my mom's (and will probably be passed down to this LO). It was so pretty so I can't wait until this baby girl is old enough to wear it.
Upcoming appointments? Had one today, US and midwife next week
Rants/Raves/Questions? The good is that I'm GBS negative. But oh man I had a rough day. My midwife really scared me by talking at my appointment today about how my baby's head is measuring disproportionately small and how there's a possibility it could be something worrisome. I cried in the parking lot. Then at home.The OB from the practice that does my ultrasounds called hours later to talk about it and tried to reassure me that it's most likely nothing but said they could do another ultrasound and have the doctor there instead of just the technician to talk me through what they see. So yeah... hopefully baby is fine and just has a small head and does not end up having microcephaly.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Emotional.
GTKY: As a kid, what was your favorite piece of clothing/outfit? I loved overalls as a kid, A LOT. I wore them all the time and refused to wear normal jeans until 5th grade.
@pdxmamatobe I'm so sorry, that sounds way too scary and stressful. Did they say if the head is disproportionate with the abdomen or with gestational age? GD can cause the abdomen to grow a little larger than baby's head, without any issues at all. I'll be thinking of you and hopefully baby's just a little chubby!
@pdxmamatobe I'm so sorry you received such scary news. Please try not to worry as ultrasounds are not always the most accurate tool (especially this late in the game when baby is smooshed). I will be thinking and praying for you mama xoxo.
@pdxmamatobe I'm sorry you got that news today, that is scary and something none of us want to hear! Thinking of you and hoping everything is alright, try to take care of yourself in the meantime!
Thanks ladies! @AlwaysAuntNeverMom She's overall measuring in the 27th percentile. They said her head is disproportionate to her abdomen. At 37 weeks her head was measuring 33.5 weeks and abdomen 37.5 weeks. It's not far enough off to be considered microcephaly right not but it's something they would check for after birth because it's a possibility. I'm hoping I'll get more answers Wednesday at the next ultrasound and that maybe the measurements will have changed for the better. He definitely talked about how those measurements aren't as accurate right now.
@pdxmamatobe I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the measurements look better on Wednesday! Hopefully it was just a matter of positioning or inaccuracy. Will be thinking of you!
