Re: Weekly PGAL check in 10.3.16

  • Sorry I was pretty absent last week - not much time for bumping :( I saw that @cjs260 tagged me about the ha1c test but by that time someone had already answered as well or better than I could do I didn't chime in. 

    2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?

    26w, January 9, blue!

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)

    Mostly still pretty good. The last few nights it's taken me a while to fall asleep even though I'm tired. 

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 

    doing good old here too

    5. When is your next appointment? 

    Tomorrow for a standard 4 week appointment 

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 

    rave 1: I started seeing the movement outside my body yesterday evening! It's so weird but so cool!! 

    Rave 2: Yesterday I got to take a small trip "home" (where I lived the last four years before I just moved in June) and got to see a lot of friends who were so excited to see my belly (they walked through my two losses with me) It was just such a fun day getting to eat a local places I can't have where I live now. I have a baby shower there on the 22nd of this month and I can't wait to go back again. 

    7. Anything else on your mind? 

    I think I might have athletes feet :( I hope my ob says I can do something about it - it's getting hard to reach my feet when they are itchy

  • 26w due Jan 9th but dr still says he thinks I'll go around Xmas. During a big snow storm lol. 
    Baby boy with no name. We can not agree on a name. Thankfully we have time
    had my glucose test last week and today have my reg apptwith ob. Hoping I passed the glucose because they didn't do the right test when I got there. Can't wait to see the little guy again it feels like forever since I had an appt. really it's only been a month. 
    Anxiety has been high as my 1 yr anniversary from finding out my baby had passed at my 8w 4d ultrasound was oct 1st. I tried to focus more on this healthy little guys movement to reassure myself all is well. But prayed a lot for my angel baby that i will never forget him/her.

    good luck @ceclarlinetlo I didn't realize we shared the same due date. 
  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
    26 weeks 5 days EDD January 4th team blue!
    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Started getting a little nausea back this morning but I'm guessing that's just par for the course at this point
    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    I get better as the weeks progress but still have a cloud of doubt and don't want to get too excited just in case. I know I have to stop that though.
    5. When is your next appointment?

  • @Becid24 My thoughts are with you during this tough time. Loss anniversary's are hard.

    2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 26 weeks, 1/8/17 (but I don't think I'll make January) Team Pink

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) - Overall pretty good. My back has been hurting after a busy weekend. I had a little heartburn this weekend but nothing too back (nothing like I was having in the 1st trimester or at this time with DS).

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) - A  little amped up this week after our scare last week. Haven't had any more issues since Thursday but still, ending up in Labor and Delivery at 25 weeks to be checked out is messing with me a little bit.

    5. When is your next appointment? October 19th for a regular appointment and to check my hemoglobin. Also same day with the internist to look at my numbers for GD.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever Rave this week is for my hubby who managed to get our new garage entry door put in with minimal issues. I was dreading this project because when we replaced our main entry door a few years ago it was a disaster. 

    7. Anything else on your mind?  I picked up what I needed for some additional décor in the nursery this weekend, now I just need to find time to do the painting I need to do.

    8. GTKY - Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October? Not really, I'm not a huge Halloween buff. I love Hocus Pocus but usually will catch parts on TV. Last year I got in to the Good Witch on Hallmark so I'm looking forward to the Halloween Special this year.

  • 26+1. Team pink. Due January 8th but I'm negotiating with Olive to please come around Christmas. She said she doesn't give a shit. 

    Feeling...sick. Nauseous. Ugh. 

    Anxiety, eh fineish. I'm tapering off of my anxiety meds because I want to avoid withdrawal or whatever crap the midwives say my meds can cause. I'm at the point where I'm anxious about kicks.
  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
    26w6d 1/4/17 Team Pink! 

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Can you pull your round ligaments? Cause if you can, I did. I was pancaking in bed this morning trying to grasp that last hour of sleep, and had the worst RLP of the pregnancy yet. And now i'm sore on that one side. Baby is moving around just fine in there, and it was clearly RLP so I'm not worried, but damn it hurts. 

    Also, baby got the hiccups for the first time last night, which was cute. But it was under my ribcage, which was not. 

    And finally to end my mound of complaints, I had to take 2 tums right before bed from some killer pizza induced heartburn, and woke up at some point in the middle of the night with my mouth tasting basic (?). As in pH basic. It was awful. I do not recommend tums at bedtime.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Pretty good. Baby gets flipped around to where I think she is hitting my placenta (which is anterior right) and I can only feel her movements down low, which worries be about 2x a week. But other than that, all good! 

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Thursday for glucose screen and OB check up. 

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    I think I got most of my ranting done up in the symptoms portion. 

    7. Anything else on your mind? 
    My friends and I are going to Indy tonight to see Silence of the Lambs in the theater! We're soooo excited! It's really one of the only movies that can really freak me out.

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Good! Nothing too major, other than not being able to eat big meals but still snacking like a hobbit.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Pretty good. Some days, he's all about movement, others he's not, which weirds me out. I try not to overthink it, but have pulled out the doppler a few times to make sure.

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Oct. 14

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    FINALLY got some fall/winter maternity clothes! I had to go all over the world and like 4-5 stores, but I did it. 

    7. Anything else on your mind? 
    Going to start working on the nursery this weekend! If I think about how fast these next few months are going to go by, I start getting panicky! 

    8. GTKY - Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?

    All of them. Last night I caught parts of the original Frankenstein on TCM, I love Halloween, Jeepers Creepers, The Shining, etc. Not into the new "gore/nasty/Eli Roth" type horror movies, I love the classics.

  • @alabamaredhead I saw a post on FB this weekend that said 12 more Monday's until Christmas. I wasn't too panicky about how much there is to do (just a little) until I saw that. When I think 12 weeks that seems like a while and plenty of time but when you break it down to 12 Mondays (or 12 Saturdays) it seems so close.

  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
    26 w 1 d- 1/8/17- Team Pink

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    I'm tired and in general achy.... simultaneously wishing the next three months would hurry up and slow down.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Most days I'm pretty good.... some days I still have my fleeting moments of panic though.  It's worse when I'm having BH contractions and there isn't much besides resting that I can do about that. 

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Tomorrow for routine appointment and GD testing.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    Rants- 1/2 of the electric in my apartment went out today.  AGAIN.  This happened a few months ago too- and it took over a week for our management company to have the electrician come out to fix it.  Our lease is up Mid April but I'm thinking about breaking the lease and leaving early.  Do you think it's worse to move 7 months pregnant or with a 4 month old?

    Raves- I was able to take a nap both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.   I felt so much better being about to take a nap.   Wish I could take a nap at work.

    7. Anything else on your mind? 
    My cousin reached out to me to tell me she's pregnant before announcing on Facebook.  At first I was just surprised she was able to get pregnant (history of anorexia and bulimia) and almost felt nervous for her.  Plus it almost felt weird like she was asking for my permission to be excited about being pregnant- even saying she 'didn't want to steal my thunder'.   She post more about my pregnancy on social media than I do (in fact I haven't made any announcements or liked any baby or maternity pages). I am excited for some of the attention to move away from me- but I was also really surprised at how early she announced her pregnancy.  I was almost jealous of the lack of fear/ anxiety that you need to tell the world you are pregnant especially before 12 weeks.  I'm happy for her- but nervous at the same time.   

    8. GTKY - I'm stealing this question from Sunday ticket change because I'm running out of ideas for this one. Lol Any one got any suggestions for the coming weeks? 

    Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?  I love Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Before Christmas is a favorite of both DH and me (and we get to watch it again for Christmas).

    Mostly good I can at least move side to side but being stuck flat messes with you're back

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Excited because we are at viability but really scared that she'll come super early still. I know the chances of long term problems is still really high at this point. I'm really anxious to get to 28 weeks preferably 32 before she makes an appearance.

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    All day everyday

  • @LilLynch2015 I personally feel moving while pregnant might be easier. Then you don't have to work around the baby's schedule of sleeping and eating to get anything done. But I'm sure there are pros to waiting until after baby as well.

  • @Carly79 I know! Those "it's almost Christmas!!" posts make me all "crap I have stuff to do!!" 

    With DS, I was pregnant from Jan-Sept. and it seemed to take forever. With this one and the holidays, it seems like it's going to fly by!

  • @LilLynch2015 I haven't moved while pregnant but I have renovated a kitchen with a 4 month old. My vote would be moving while pregnant. Although you are tired, you may be able to get more help because you are pregnant where as after baby, you are reliant on help that understands the demands of a 4 month old. Also, you would be able to nest in your new place and get that ready.

  • @Carly79 I am worried about being able to nest in a new apartment and basically living out of boxes for an entire year.  If we moved now, we would likely be looking to move into another apartment vs our original plan of buying a house in April.  My parents live fairly nearby (and we are looking to move 15- 20 minutes closer to them), so I was going to drop off baby girl with them and have my mom take care of her throughout the day so I could focus on moving.  Also, I would be adding on to my commute to work until I leave for maternity leave- and then it decreases my chances of coming back (which I'd say I'm 50/50 on coming back right now).  I feel like we are going to suck it up and stay until April, but if they can't give me electricity in my kitchen for the next week we will have to start looking into leaving early.

  • If the plan is buying a house in April then I'd probably try and stick it out but totally agree, you need electricity in your kitchen (which will become even more important with a newborn if you have to warm up breastmilk or formula at all).

    23+4. Due Jan 26. Team Pink!

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Acid reflux is SO BAD. I am also not sleeping so I am starting to feel tired most days again.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Anytime I overdo something, I convince myself I have totally effed up this pregnancy. Like I went on a long hike and was really beat afterwards and then got really anxious that there was something wrong.

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Thursday with MFM for our fetal echocardiogram.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    My dog had butt surgery on Thursday (he had a lump removed) and the cone they gave him wasn't the right size so he was able to lick the area. I got him an overpriced new cone on Saturday. Eventually the stitches popped so we took him in this morning and they stitched him up with local on his bum and added staples as well. Poor guy. He was SO uncomfortable after the procedure so I stayed home for a bit with him. I did ask for a sedative so he could rest because he would not stay still after the procedure. Anyway I am pissed that I had to pay more when the cone allowed him to lick his butt still!! But I am happy that he is resting. I sure could use one of those sedatives to get a good night sleep!

    Hmm... Rocky Horror Picture show is a classic. I also really liked the Worst Witch as a kid and will watch it if it is on... they both have Tim Curry!
    @LilLynch2015 I am just guessing but I think that I would rather move while pregnant versus with a 4 month old! And maybe you can get out of your lease without any penalty because of the issues. I sure would fight for it.

    @susykat77 - poor puppy! Hopefully he is on the mend soon! 

    I just realized I didn't answer the mo i.e. Question lol. It makes me so happy to see how much love Hocus Pocus gets! I might have already watched it on October 1 :) I also liked halloweentown when I was younger but I haven't seen it in a long time. I also forgot about nightmare before Christmas I might have to see if that's still on Netflix!

  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?

    27 weeks, Jan 2, Green

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Nothing, really.  I had a back ache on Saturday from doing too many chores and being on my feet all day.  It felt much better after a night of sleep.  I have pain in my groin and upper thighs now pretty consistently when I get up to move and walk around.  I also have copious amounts of discharge, which I do find slightly disconcerting.  

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Not great.  I have a constant fear/anxiety of pre-term labor.  I'm not sure it's ever going to go away.  I really need to cope and deal with it better.

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Next Tuesday.  Regular check in.  Will also go over my GD screening results from Friday.  I'm hoping if I don't hear anything before than that I can safely assume I passed.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    Meh.  I'd say I'm pretty ranty today.  I'm trying not to wish away time and enjoy this pregnancy, but I still worry.  Constantly.  I just want to fast forward.

    7. Anything else on your mind?  Not particularly.  I'm reading the Ina May childbirth book and really enjoying it.  I know a few people on the Board, and I think on this thread, have read it.  Good recommendation!

    8. GTKY - I'm stealing this question from Sunday ticket change because I'm running out of ideas for this one. Lol Any one got any suggestions for the coming weeks? 

    Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?
    We always watch The Nightmare Before Christmas.  I also usually wind up watching Halloween because AMC (I think it's AMC?) always runs a marathon so I find it almost impossible to not watch at least some of it each year. Also, we always seem to watch Beetlejuice once a year, but I can't say it's always in October though...
  • I didn't get to see my dr today or baby:( he was in surgery. But the nurse did heart tones and he sounded great. I passed my glucose with a 108 woohoo!  Go back in 2 weeks. Good luck everyone hopefully the panic doesn't set in for us due to the holidays creeping in to fast when we are trying to get ready for these new little people to arrive. 
  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? 
    Team green pink or blue? 27wks, team blue

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Fine, acid reflux kicks in. The SI pain has dramatically improved and no more random bloody noses! Watch, I just jinxed myself and will get one tonight.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    I get random bouts of anxiety, like did I feel the baby move at all today? It's been a year since I found out that I had mc with my previous pregnancy and I can't believe this rainbow baby is almost here. I'm nervous and excited, but moreso about how life will change for our family. We live in NYC in a 2 bedroom apt and having 2 kids seems super cramped and the lack of space is making me anxious.

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    This Thursday I have my glucose test.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    My daughter has a cardiologist appointment this Friday and she might need to undergo a procedure so the fact that we have to plan for that all before the baby comes plus with the upcoming holidays just adds extra stress. 

    7. Anything else on your mind? 


    8. GTKY - I'm stealing this question from Sunday ticket change because I'm running out of ideas for this one. Lol Any one got any suggestions for the coming weeks? 

    Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October? I love Halloween but I'm such a scaredy cat when it comes to horror films. If I had to pick something Hallloween-ish it'd probably be Beetlejuice.

  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
    26 weeks and that seems so far along now!  EDD of 1/10, team pink.

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Restless nights, feet are starting to swell in some shoes, getting back and leg aches.  But other than that, pretty good.  My skin has started to clear up a little bit, which is good.

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Quite good.  Lots of kicks happening.

    5. When is your next appointment?
    End of October.  I can drop in to a lab anytime to do my glucose test before then.  I'd rather have an actual appointment for that since it'll be hard to make myself drop in.

    6. Rants/raves/whatever
    Major raves for my DH, who cleaned up a major mess in my daughter's bed two nights ago.  She got sick for the first time and he had to change the whole bed and her PJs.  He even started the laundry.  He didn't ask me for help at all, he knew it would make me queasy.  He works in healthcare so he has a strong stomach.  I have a notoriously weak stomach, even when not pregnant.

    7. Anything else on your mind?
    The baby was making major moves last night, but they seemed really low and deep inside. So I kept exclaiming about them as we were trying to fall asleep, but DH could barely feel it.  It's like she was playing drums on my bladder and organs.

    8. GTKY -Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?
    Another vote for Hocus Pocus!  I need some more to watch so am happy for the suggestions.  I like scary movies in theory but then I get freaked out and hide behind a pillow and can't fall asleep.

  • @ceclarlinetlo, tears over here.  That is so sweet and thoughtful of you.  My reaction to this surprised me and makes me wonder if I never acknowledged and grieved appropriately.

  • @ceclarlinetlo that was very sweet.  It's nice to see PGAL getting more reconnection, I cannot image how hard it must have been for my grandmother (who I believe also had 2 miscarriages).

    @curlysue22 what do you mean "My reaction to this surprised me and makes me wonder if I never acknowledged and grieved appropriately."?   It's your loss, you grieve however you need to- what works for one of us may not work for you- I just don't believe there is an appropriate way to grieve.

    I have an update on my apartments electrical situation- apparently, after being without power for 3 days our building's management decided to send someone out today and they now believe the issue the meter and the electric company is going to have to replace it.  It will be at least a few more days with 1/2 our apartment in the dark.  Hopefully this will solve the issue completely, so that we don't have to deal with this again in a few months with a screaming infant.  We also found that our stove does work, so at least we can cook... though we need to move a lamp to get any light in the kitchen. If any of you or anyone else you know is ever looking for an apartment make sure it is not managed by Harbor Group Management.

  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
    24 weeks 1 day, Jan 25, team blue

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    I've been having a lot of back pain the past week. I had an ultrasound yesterday and baby is breech with his face in my belly button and butt against my spine, so I imagine that has something to do with it. 

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Pretty ok, aside from a slight meltdown yesterday thanks to a somber ultrasound tech. I know they can't tell you anything but my goodness,  could you at least be a little upbeat and not look like you've just seen a ghost the whole time? I had an hour between my ultrasound and my Drs appointment so I basically went insane and got my poor optimist husband worried. Fortunetly everything was fine. 

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    October 20th

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    I bought a crib and dressed and it's so exciting walking into the nursery and it actually looking like a baby room. My poor dogs are heartbroken though, because it used to be there room. 

    8. GTKY

    Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?

    We love horror movies all year, but especially around Halloween. The Shining, IT, Carrie. There is a theater that does midnight showings of classics all month we try to hit at least once.

  • 2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 23+3, late Jan/Feb 1, Pink

    3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
    Pretty good. The tiredness really hit me this week. 

    4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) 
    Eh... ok. I have my anatomy scan tomorrow and so of course I have some anxiety about that. I've also been feeling her movie a little more the last couple of days and we've got a Doppler. Now that it's pretty easy to locate her, I can find her and check in on her pretty quickly on high anxiety days. The biggest thing is that I keep reading this sad stories about people who have still births, lost their baby shortly after birth, etc. I thought I'd feel so much more comfortable by this point with viability just around the corner - but it's just so scary to think/see how quickly it can all be taken away.... 

    5. When is your next appointment? 
    Tomorrow for ultrasound with MFM

    6. Rants/raves/whatever 
    I've been feeling strangely disconnected to the baby. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I think it's from fear that it's not really going to be all ok - don't want to get all my hopes and dreams just slashed - but I really wish I was totally on the baby train (cribs, strollers, paint, organization). 

    7. Anything else on your mind?
    I got into an argument with DH the other day. Well not an argument per se, but he ended up getting snappy with me and I then shut him out. I was upset that he was going to have to work overtime and weekend time. He's only ever supposed to have to do that "occasionally" and in the two weeks he's been with this new job he's had to work OT the majority of the days. We hardly ever fight, and usually when we do he goes out of his way for us to make up ASAP. This time just feels different and I'm not sure why - maybe it's my hormones - but I hate feeling distant from him. 

    8. GTKY - Do you have any movies you traditionally watch in October?
    Halloween is not a huge deal to me. I usually watch Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus at least once ..... Christmas movies - well that's a whole different thing.
  • Just a quick update: my anatomy scan yesterday looked great! Fingers, toes, spine, head and tummy. She is still a she, lol. She is measuring a little small and it currently breech but the MFM says he doesn't think it's anything to be concerned about, and is signing me off to my regular OB unless something comes up later on. 
  • @SquirrelGiggles83 - thanks for the update! That's wonderful news!!

  • @SquirrelGiggles83 awesome news. 

    @ceclarlinetlo me too. It's bizarre to think about his/her face especially. I can't even imagine what she will look like!
