Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday. Had a Group B Strep swab done, a whooping cough vaccination and she confirmed that baby girl is breech and set a c-section date for October 1. I go for an ultrasound next Thursday to see if she is still breech then we will talk more that day about c-section.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have come to terms with having a c-section and do not even mind having one. But when I tell people baby is breech, seems like it's the end of the world and they say there is still time for baby to flip. I don't mind that baby is breech. Any way I get baby into this world, is fine by me!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still craving orange pop and cereal. Symptoms are heartburn, congestion and headaches ... among other things.
GTKY: What is your favourite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Wine and girl talk.
What size is baby? Celery, but it feels like I'm carrying a microwave haha
Upcoming appointments? none, until the 20th
Rants/Raves/Questions? not really, I just wished I could be barefoot at work
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Cereal as well (I am not that fan of cereal by cereal I mean kids cereal) and cold drinks
GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Just listen a good song or dancing with or with a good ice cream cone....
Upcoming appointments? Wehad an appointment and growth ultrasound yesterday and it was SO disappointing. We didn't get to see anything on the screen that remotely looked like a human part. No face, no foot, nothing. However, the baby is measuring at 53rd percentile, so exactly where she's expected for her gestational age, and her head is down. I forgot to ask which way she is facing but I'm pretty sure she's facing the back.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am so over this gestational diabetes crap. At first it was a change, but it was surprisingly doable. I didn't miss stuff as much as I thought and I liked the stuff I did eat more than I thought. At this point I just want to eat a sleeve of Ritz and a bag of jelly beans and and and (maybe that should go under cravings... I just want me some carbs, man. Some refined carbs.) I'm actually getting tired of cheese. I didn't know that was possible.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? The coochie pressure. The bladder pressure combined with the inability to pee more than a trickle. I do have some sort of bladder infection, too, and know that it's best to empty the bladder completely, but I don't seem physically capable of that at the moment.
GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? Solitude, television, and food!
Upcoming appointments? Had an appointment and NST today. I have so many appointments thanks to my history and GD
Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel so huge. Sleep is uncomfortable and I'm up 4 times a night to pee.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Ditto @RainMira9e about being over the GD diet. I have a whole list of foods I want when baby is out. I even told my mom to bring homemade chocolate chip cookies to the hospital!

How many weeks? 33 What size is baby? celery but Im with @mayisch, it feels more like a microwave or something much larger than celery Upcoming appointments? Not til the 19th Rants/Raves/Questions? Im a STM and mostly Im surprised how much more uncomfortable I am this time around. Anyone else having a similar experience? Id love for baby to get out of my ribs! Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Anything edible. I am hungry all the time. I too like cereal, esp before bed because it keeps me sleeping longer, otherwise Im up super early ready to eat. GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? exercise
Upcoming appointments? We have our last U/S on the 19th and then our test for strep/checking for dilation.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a urine culture done at my last appointment, I haven't heard back from my OB about whether it was clear or not. I called and left a message and still no call back so that's annoying me.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I just feel huge all the time and my body feels tired all the time.
GTKY: What is your favorite or most effective way to relax when life gets stressful? I like to light a candle and eat chocolate when I get stressed out or listen to music lol.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+ BFP: 03/10 First Baby: 10/20/2016
I'm 36 weeks! And as of today have less than a month until my due date. Baby is the size of a papaya.
I had an appointment yesterday and had to get the strep b swab and HIV test. Apparently here in Atlanta, there are an alarming number of moms that test negative during the first trimester screening who test positive at delivery. It's mostly attributed to risky sexual behavior, but it's now mandatory so I had to get stuck yesterday.
Heartburn is is still really bad, so I'm going to sleep on a recliner from now on. Other than that, I'm just super hungry all. The. Time.
My favorite ways to relax is to go out and get a beer (it must be draft), take a trip or have an orgasm. Whichever is most convenient at the time.
