Rants/Raves/Questions? Welp, yesterday I spend 3 hours in triage because I swore my water broke. I was standing at the sink when a puddle appeared between my legs. Turns out, no ruptured membranes and my ute continues to be "irritable". That was my second time going and I swore to my husband I'm not returning until she's halfway out of me. As a STM, I thought I knew what to expect... Clearly not.
Symptoms? Constipation out of no where.
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World (pretty much all of the TGIF shows), Dinosaurs, Rugrats, Legends of the Hidden Temple... Im going to stop there because it looks like I was a junkie
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? 40 weeks! I made it to term!!!
What size is baby? A watermelon, and I believe it
Upcoming appointments? no more!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm being induced tonight. I'm so scared. I'm so excited. I have so many emotions right now.
Symptoms? Why wouldn't I wake up and hurl on my last day of being pregnant LOL.
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? I was raised in a super strict religious household so I was only allowed to watch shows on PBS. Arthur was my favorite
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? 37 weeks
What size is baby? Romaine lettuce? That's dumb, I'm sorry.
Upcoming appointments? on my way to one now! Just a routine weekly check up. My OB told me last time they won't do a cervical check unless I've been having regular contractions or something so I'm sure I'll be in and out in 5 min.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I need to be done with work like yesterday.
Symptoms? just swelling, BH here and there, and totally exhausted. And crazy sweaty hot at all times no matter how high the AC is.
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Hmmm in my middle school days, TRL on MTV was my jam, I'm pretty sure I spent every afternoon with Carson Daly!
@Megan324 good luck tonight!! So excited for you to meet your LO!
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? 39 Weeks!
What size is baby? Baby is a pumpkin - and judging by my belly - that is quite accurate.
Upcoming appointments? Just had one. Belly is still measuring big so scheduled for ultrasound after NST on Monday to ensure that baby is doing well. Otherwise at 4 cm, 80 % effaced and baby's engaged
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm ready for work to end.
Symptoms? I got nothing. Not even fake nothing.
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Saved by the Bell, Full House, Looney Tunes, Goosebumps/Are you Afraid of the Dark?
@MeganS324 Best of luck!!! Will be thinking about you and hope the delivery center clears out so you can go tonight! If you need me to bounce anyone out just let me know, I'm only 5 miles away, and ain't nobody messing with this hugely pregnant lady!
@laker2014 Are You Afraid of the Dark? Oh my such a classic!!! I remember one with clowns and a fair that legit scared the bejesus out of me. Of course clowns freak me out anyway, ESP this whole abduction thing going on.
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? 37 weeks
What size is baby? Romaine lettuce...?? I'm going to go with baby sized.
Upcoming appointments? Midwife onWednesday
Rants/Raves/Questions? My midwife wants me to deliver between 38 and 40 weeks, but not go over because of medical history of sketchy placentas. I have an appointment for acupuncture induction next Friday, so am kind of freaking out. In a good way... I think.
Symptoms? Swelling, sweating like a dude in all the wrong places, and I'm fairly sure my hips are just about to dislocate... I'm sexy and I know it.
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Art Attack and Bill Nye! Also loved Goosebumps and Saved by the Bell.
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
@RedMar YES this whole clown thing in SC is really freaking me out!! I've had a huge clown thing for my whole life, I'm pretty sure I would have a heart attack if I came across a random clown in the middle of the woods...
And Are You Afraid Of The Dark was definitely one of my absolute favorites as a kid, I'm sure it would be so fun to go back and watch them now!
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? Monte will be a MONTH old on Monday. That is insane.
What size is baby? 7lbs! He gained 13 ounces in one week after we had a scare with jaundice and he lost a bit of weight. Still crazy that at almost a month old he is smaller than some of these new babies happening every day!
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday to check on his ear growth. He had molds put on at 1 week for Stahls ear and was supposed to wear them for 6wks. But doc said they look so good we'll take them off at our next appt. Yay!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Ready for all the little things that keep poping up with baby to stop and we can just enjoy him. Jaundice, stahls ear, clogged tear duct... enough already!! Poor guy has had a rough start :'(
Symptoms? I have no idea how I feel or what I look like anymore. Only concern is the kiddo's! womp womp
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Saved by the Bell for sure! Full House, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, Family Matters. I also used to watch All My Children with my mom. So sad it was cancelled!
How far along are you? OR How old is your outside baby? 39 weeks!
What size is baby? Pumpkin
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday, declined the cervical check until next week. I measured very slightly low on fluids at my ultrasound this week so I have another one Thursday. I'll be chugging water the day before this time just in case. I'm also doing acupuncture tomorrow and Wednesday to try and get things going and avoid an induction if I can.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My ultrasound this week went okay. They said it most likely is nothing about the smaller head size and that she could just be a petite baby like me and that the GD could be influencing her abdomen size. So it was somewhat reassuring.
Symptoms? It's getting hot again here and I'm sad about it - more swollen feet and I've been waking up sweating
GTKY: What were some of your favorite TV shows to watch after school? Ditto to Boy Meets World, Goosebumps etc. Loved them all!
Re: *~*~Friday 9/9 Ticker Change*~*~
