Re: Sunday Ticker Change 11/13/16
How far along are you? 35 weeks
How big is baby? A pineapple, a bunch of carrots, a medium sized rabbit, a child's backpack, etc etc
Appointments, anything going on this week? I have an appointment this Wednesday. Really hoping my BP is going to be behaving itself for that visit.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Just uncomfortable. Sometimes he gets right on my bladder/cervix/ pelvis/whatever and it makes my whole under carriage miserable and stingy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just uncomfortable and know he needs to stay in another 2-3 weeks at the least.
GTKY: With most of us feeling uncomfortable and with 6 weeks or less to go, What are you doing to stay positive and upbeat??? I looked back today and realized it was not that long ago that I was excited about 10 weeks to go. That seems like no time ago. Hoping maybe these next 5 weeks fly too. I'm so ready for an outside baby.

How big is baby? Size of a pineapple
Appointments, anything going on this week? MD appointment and another NST tomorrow AM. Not sure if the GBS test will be done tomorrow or next week.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? No changes there.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Sciatic pain is driving me up the wall at this point. I'm fine if I'm sitting or lying down, but as soon as I try to move, sharp shooting pains are traveling down my left leg from my lower back. So far I've tried ice, heat, ice alternating with heat, epsom salt baths, and some light stretching (which feels good in the moment but as soon as I try to walk again, PAIN). Every night I sleep with my big Snoogle pillow tucked between my legs. Haven't yet tried the chiropractor or prenatal massage - anyone with any experience have any recommendations? My MD told me last week the office could set me up with PT if it was really bothering me, but it was only occasional at that point and easier for me to deal with. Today I am at day 4 of not being able to move very well and it's really starting to get to me. I was also told I could take Tylenol if needed but the pharmacist side of me is saying "what is that really going to do for nerve pain?"
GTKY: With most of us feeling uncomfortable and with 6 weeks or less to go, what are you doing to stay positive and upbeat??? Not feeling too upbeat today because of the sciatic pain. I'm actually feeling pretty helpless (which I hate). My DH has been extremely supportive though, and has been doing his best to cheer me up, and I really appreciate it. I may be sending him on an errand run a little later because it's difficult for me to go myself.

Appointments, anything going on this week?
Appointment on Tuesday. I know i have the GBS swab, not sure other than that.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I have terrible pelvis pain anytime I change positions. And I got told i was starting to waddle at work on Thursday.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I got a sore throat yesterday afternoon. No temp, not stuffy, just miserable and hardly slept last night. I got a cold a couple months ago that took forever to kick, I hope this doesn't turn into something like that.

Keep telling myself only 5ish more weeks.

How big is baby? Pineapple
Appointments, anything going on this week? Meeting with a potential doula in about 15 minutes! Just had a midwife f/u this past week and i won't go back until 37 weeks, just how it falls with thanksgiving holiday.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? not really craving much these days, more like everything fills me up after a couple bites and everything gives me reflux. Midwife said I need more protein so I'm trying to be particular in my choices.
Rants/Raves/Questions? SPD has got me incredibly irritable. I keep snapping at my kids, my patience is just gone. I can't do much around the house and it's just gone to shit. DH picks up the slack but doesn't do things how I do. I'm sick of Tupperware tumbling out of the cupboard on me because he doesn't take the time to stack it like me. Stuff like that.
GTKY: With most of us feeling uncomfortable and with 6 weeks or less to go, What are you doing to stay positive and upbeat??? I posted this because I'm failing at positivity. I need to brighten my outlook and stop feeling like my body is failing me. None of that will help during labor. The only thing I can think of is just imagining the joy of having LO. Then I get sad because this will be our last child and I'll never feel another baby inside me. I'm a mess.

Appointments, anything going on this week?
I have an appointment on Tuesday morning...normal appointment and then I start going every week
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
No notable changes really....been the same for awhile now it seems
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I still can't believe it's all ready mid November and I only have 42 days left til my EDD....and I'm at the longer end...some of you girls have a lot less than that to go!! It's crazy. And seeing more and more announcement posts here just makes it that much more real.... I'm excited but hoping this little girl waits until at least after Thanksgiving lol
GTKY: With most of us feeling uncomfortable and with 6 weeks or less to go, What are you doing to stay positive and upbeat???
Honestly I've just been thinking about time in short bursts....less than 2 weeks until thanksgiving, then only 2 1/2 weeks until my oldest son's birthday, and then less than 2 weeks until Christmas (which is my due date). This time of year always goes by more quickly for me because of the holidays and everything that goes along with it like going to going to see Santa, school breaks for thanksgiving and Christmas, Christmas shopping etc. So I'm kinda of expecting it to go by more quickly than the summer did for me. Plus I keep thinking in terms of "less than 6 weeks to go" since I went early with both my boys....if I go early again it'll be less than the 6 weeks I have left and if not, then I'm not really losing anything by thinking that until I get to my due date.
How far along are you? 37 weeks
How big is baby? Half of a medium pizza
Appointments, anything going on this week? Just my weekly appointment on Thursday
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Symptoms: Back pain, insomnia, and general fatigue and discomfort. Cravings: A salted soft pretzel maybe. Yesterday, I got a cheesecake brownie, which was great.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada
GTKY: With most of us feeling uncomfortable and with 6 weeks or less to go, What are you doing to stay positive and upbeat??? I keep telling myself that I've always gone into labor during my 38th week. I'm really hoping to stay true to form because I cannot recall being as uncomfortable as I was last night in either of my previous pregnancies.
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
