Upcoming appointments this week: I had 3 appts last week including being admitted overnight for a kidney infection. Tuesday of next week is the next apt providing all goes well.
Any new symptoms or changes: shortness of breath and the inability to finish tasks without breaks. Im exhausted and out of breath just going up the stairs.
Rants/Raves: Lots of pressure on my pelvis. It aches a lot....
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: Coming to work. Im exhausted and in pain.
Upcoming appointments this week: every Friday. last Friday baby was 6lbs. 9 oz.
Anyy new symptoms or changes: felling full quicker, belly just feels heavy, if I don't drink enough water instantaneous BH
Rants/Raves: Rave: this week i got the cutest baby blanket with the baby's name on it. Rant: wish i knew when this baby is coming.
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: Literally moving around. There's so much of me to move from sitting to standing, to getting out of bed, it's difficult and takes too much work.
Upcoming appointments this week: OB appointment tomorrow complete with NST (I get them every week) and he'll probably check my cervix again
Any new symptoms or changes: my lower left back has started hurting me today
Rants/Raves: getting conflicting information on whether or not all my documentation for my maternity leave has been received and not getting callbacks is irritating the hell out of me...don't they know they shouldn't piss off extremely pregnant women??
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: my gestational diabetes....I just want to eat what I want to eat already instead of worrying about how many carbs are in my meals...
Me (37) Hubby (39)Marriedsince 4.2009 EP: 2.17.2016 DS: 3.4.2017 DD: due 7.16.2019
Upcoming appointments this week: None this week... start weekly appointments next week!
Any new symptoms or changes: More pelvic pressure... discharge (TMI) and I have had a few contractions. At my last appointment last week I was dilated to a 1, baby is head down and the doctor could feel his head.
Rants/Raves: So glad baby is good and healthy, but I am so ready to be done.
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: My biggest struggle right now is being patient. I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I'm just ready to be done. I am ready to meet our son. I know that is selfish because he needs to cook longer but I can't help but find myself wishing for labor to start.
How big is baby: well at my growth ultrasound she was measuring 7 lbs 6 oz, but according to the aps, she's papaya, 2 Liter soda, footlong sub, power drill, large cantaloupe, chihuahua, cabbage patch doll
Upcoming appointments this week: Another NST on Friday, OB appt on Thursday
Any new symptoms or changes: high BP at my NST, but I get it down by the end of the test.
Rants/Raves: Can't wait to get the crib put together. I also had a very good review at work I am just currently waiting for the promotion offer letter and compensation...which should come in 2 weeks. (provided I'm still at work!)
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: Right now I'm getting info about possibly being induced because my BP at my NST is high in the beginning. But, I am waiting for my OB to confirm what could happen in the next couple weeks. I'm also with @ngcsugirl1112 - I am ready to be able to eat what I want when I want. (ie an entire bag of cadbury mini eggs)
Upcoming appointments this week: I had one Tuesday - I was closed but she said that my cervix was softening so that was a plus. She also said to me "you won't be pregnant forever" so maybe baby is just in there for the long haul!
Any new symptoms or changes: I have had some hip pain this week, still with the heartburn, hungry ALL THE TIME.
Rants/Raves: Nursery is done! I am ready to meet our little girl! But I am getting increasingly anxious about delivery; what to expect, when to go in, etc. My doctor said contractions every 5 minutes for at least 2 hours. I just don't want to waste my time and it be a false alarm.
GTKY: What is your biggest struggle at the moment: Anxiety about delivery. I want to stay calm, don't want to freak out, but don't want to wait too long or go too early to the hospital.
@lindsey2017. What would help with your anxiety over the delivery and arrival at the hospital?
You know, I am not really sure. I know I am ready mentally and physically to give birth - I guess at this point it is a waiting game - I am a planner so the uncertainty of when it will actually happen is the major thing that is contributing to it. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up with things with friends so hopefully that will help the time pass where I am not just sitting around waiting!
@lindsey2017 trust your body to tell you when to go. And of course read the stories of those of us that are giving birth before you and learn from our mistakes.
@lindsey2017 I am in the same boat. I am so anxious to have this baby. Not really scared or nervous. But like you said, I feel mentally and physically ready and the waiting is driving me nuts.
disneybaby84 Yes thank you. Its gone now but I spent from the 2nd-16th (even somewhat now) ill. I suffered with this sinus infection bc I was trying to clear up the kidney infection. This month has totally blown balls.
I got married on weds- and threw up all over my dress....thanks to being ill so long. We celebrated in Disney over the weekend but I was only working at about half speed. Back to work this morning. OMG I will be so glad to have this kid out
