Re: Saturday Ticker Change 3/4
How far along are you? 24 weeks, viability!
How big is baby? Atlantic Puffin!
Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing this coming week
Any new symptoms or changes? The heartburn continues, the tingly toes continue, a few leg cramps this past week, my boobs are out of control (going to start buying stock in companies that make bras).
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: it's starting to get hard to get up from certain positions/place (couch, bed). More of a statement: I feel like time is flying by! As happy as I am to be moving along in this pregnancy, I just feel like its going by so fast. A good reminder to stop and smell the roses
GTKY: If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? I think I would want to fly and potentially stop time. Fly to get places faster and stop-time to catch up with loved ones, make the sweet moments last longer, catch up on tasks.
How far along are you? 27 weeks! Some sources say this is the 3rd trimester but my midwife said it's 28 weeks, so 1 more week to go until the final trimester. However, as of today I've only got 12 weeks remaining until I'm induced (at 39 weeks) and get to meet my daughter!
How big is baby? Rutabaga or head of lettuce
Upcoming appointments this week? Not this week, but last week I passed my glucose test! Yay, no GD for me! Next prenatal is on the 15th and I'll be going every two weeks now. Growth scan ultrasound scheduled for the 21st!
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm starting to feel pains at the top of my tummy, mostly at night when I try to turn over in bed or get up. Feels kinda like gas pains. My carpal tunnel is improving with my new back n belly pillow allowing me to sleep in a comfortable position on my back. Getting more sleep now is making me MUCH happier and functional!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Our baby shower is next Saturday! I'm excited to see all our friends, and to see my mom, grandmother, and best friend who are flying out from CA for it. What to WEAR...?????
GTKY: If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? I think I'd just like to be able to talk to dogs, like Dr. Dolittle

How big is baby? large cucumber
Upcoming appointments this week? I passed my glucose test this week! Big relief. I came out slightly anemic so I'm starting an iron supplement and stool softener lol.
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm feeling generally good right now. Constipation is a bitch, but that's partially my fault because I'm not eating as much fiber as I used to. Would love to sleep more, but such is the struggle my whole life.
Rants/Raves/Questions? we finally booked our babymoon! Headed to Zika-free Cali in a week. :-)
GTKY: If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? I think I would want to be like Superman and use my forces for extreme good. So obvi I'd have to be able to fly to get to people quickly and help them
How far along are you? 27 Weeks
How big is baby? size of a bunch of bananas
Upcoming appointments this week? What will now become the norm for me, ultrasound each week then a check up with Dr to check for new or worsening symptoms
Any new symptoms or changes? Found out I have gestational hypertension, borderline pre eclampsia. I'm on the constant lookout for all sorts of changing symptoms and preterm labour.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am just afraid. I will now be induced at 37 weeks and hoping and praying baby boy will be healthy when he comes.
GTKY: If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? telekinesis. I'd never have to get out of bed again!
How far along are you? 27 weeks
How big is baby? Lettuce
Upcoming appointments this week? Glucose test and Dr visit.
Any new symptoms or changes? I have been sore all week.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a prenatal massage last night... Amazing!
GTKY: If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? The power to heal others and maybe fly lol
We scheduled our birthing class for the beginning of April. We are taking a one day class. We also get to choose between two hospitals... One is a super nice (newer hospital) hospital which a NICU unit. The other is a small hospital and all my doctors say you get the best care there. It's slower so you get more attention. I delivered my first child there with absolutely no complaints. I am leaning towards going back there. It's about 10 minutes closer to us too.
Thanks for sharing your experience @mamaelle27! I do feel much better now after the tour. Our hospital is really nice, only a couple years old, and specializes in L&D. After seeing the labor rooms and talking to the nurse I feel much better about the whole thing. I'm still scared about how labor will be like for me, but I am definitely more excited about meeting our daughter than anything else!
Also, our hospital offers in-room spa services! I can have a massage therapist, manicurist, or meditation specialist come right to my room. Or even get a facial! Definitely won't be passing THAT up!
