GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting?
Re: Weekend Ticker Change 3/18 & 3/19
How big is baby? Motorcycle helmet
Any appointments this week? Nothing this week
Symptoms? Heartburn! BH contractions, lots of peeing, movement all day longggg
Cravings? All food, still.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had mentioned previously in the Mental Health check in about my anxiety and sadness regarding gaining weight, and gaining more than I had thought I would. But at my dr's appt yesterday, I had only gained 1 lb since my appointment prior, which made me feel better.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? For childbirth, I'm scared of doing it without pain meds at all. As for parenting, I know I'm going to make mistakes as a parent, everyone does, so I have faith I'll figure it out for the most part.

First time mommy
90% of the way there
How big is baby? foam finger
Any appointments this week? Ultrasound since we had to reschedule due to the snow storm.
Symptoms? PGP - It's bearable with the support belt. But sleeping at night is the worse. Never thought I'd be nervous about rolling over in bed.
Cravings? None.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Was really down yesterday. I never realized how active I was until I became pregnant. Not being able to move as much or go out whenever the mood strikes me has made me really sad.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? I've had abdominal surgery before so I'm not worried about the c-section or the recovery. As far as parenting, where do I start? Mostly I just hope my daughter has a better relationship with me than what I have with my mother.
How big is baby? Motorcycle helmet/ butternut squash
Any appointments this week? Yep routine bi-weekly on Wednesday!
Symptoms? Reflux, back/hip pains
Cravings? Really wanted some blueberry muffins this morning and can't tell you how happy I was when they came out of the oven!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? That because we are relatively well off and have a lifestyle to match that our kid will grow up a privileged asshole. H and I will actively work to make sure kid stays humble, but it's something I worry about.
How big is baby? A basketball hoop, squash, cantaloupe. According to last weeks mfm appointment, 5 pounds

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not a whole lot aside from just ready to be toward the end
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting?
child birth - either me or my child not surviving
parenting - not realizing if something is wrong because they can't communicate.
How big is baby? Bump says zucchini, the size of zucchini that I grow (length of my arm) makes this slightly frightening....
Any appointments this week? We have an appointment with one of the L&D nurses to get all of the birthing details and tour and whatnot
Symptoms? Tying my shoes is getting harder?
Cravings? All the hard candy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm in disbelief that I'm already at 30 weeks and next week starts the single digits. It wasn't something I could imagine back in the fall!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green, starting to swing back to thinking girl
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? During birth is obviously the pain as it's not something I have experienced before. As for parenting, I've been freaking out a little about daycare, we still don't have one. And not for the lack of trying, infants spots are pretty much pure luck of excellent timing around here. I'm also getting nervous to going back to work afterwards. I'll be working the off shifts which pretty much have zero guarantee that I'll be able to pump or eat. So not being able to provide for my child?
How big is baby? Bump says asparagus, Nutella jar, American football
Any appointments this week? Nope.
Symptoms? Hemorrhoid but they are starting to go away (yay!), tired, peeing all the time, sore back, feet swelling every now and then.
Cravings? Apparently all the sweets this week! As mentioned in other threads...Reese's peanut butter eggs!! Yumm!
Rants/Raves/Questions? H is the best for getting me a bag of the Reese's eggs!
NBR: anyone watch "This is us"? I'm trying to catch up today, if our internet will allow, but I'm also terrified because I know I'm one of these episodes I will lose it!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting?
Childbirth...everything haha but really probably something going wrong. I'm fine if I end up needing a cs but when I don't know how something is supposed to go, especially medical things, I tend to get extreme anxiety. So, I'm a little afraid of that.
Parenting...I know I'll screw up at some point so I'm trying not to worry too much.

How big is baby? Zucchini? There are quite a few of us due within a few days of each other! Glad not to be the only one on the caboose
Any appointments this week? Regular OB appt on Wednesday
Symptoms? Super sore hips and lightening crotch that extends all the way down my legs. Baby must have found a nerve somewhere. Ouch!
Cravings? Feta cheese and Reese's eggs... not together ha
Rants/Raves/Questions? Excited that I passed my GTT, but still having a hard time with my weight gain. I've been watching my diet and working out 4-5 times a week for the last 3 weeks or so but still gaining. I'm up nearly 40 lbs already! I'm hoping it's similar to my last pregnancy where it's mostly fluid and I lose 3/4 of it during delivery. Trying not to stress about it!
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? No real childbirth fears (I am actually excited to do it again which probably makes me weird) but I'm nervous as hell to parent 2 kids and try to keep up with life. I hope I can manage!

-How far along? 32 weeks
-How big is baby? Naked-tailed armadillo, squash, jicama, or florida pomelo. LO was in the 98th %ile for length at the last ultrasound and I am feeling every inch!
-Any appointments this week? OB appt, endocrinologist, and I start making appts for NSTs and biophysicals. I am ready to get the ball rolling!

-Cravings? allllllll the food!
-Rants/Raves/Questions? I was induced with my first so I do not know what early labor feels like at all. How do you know if you are experiencing real contractions vs BH? I have plenty of BH contractions but I think I might have had a real one earlier today. Just feeling confused about what I am feeling.
-Team Pink/Blue/Green? I wanted to be Green but now we are Blue. I keep hoping for PINK!
-GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? Biggest fear is going into labor "early" or having a c-section. As a diabetic healing can be difficult so I want to avoid a major surgery. In addition, it can affect lung maturation so I really want to make it to 37 weeks but he seems to be ready to come sooner than that.

GTKY: Biggest fear regarding child birth/parenting? Just hoping I connect fast with this one.

It was a very dark time in my life that I hope I won't return to

Rants/Raves/Questions? I've had a really hard time with TB lately with everyone stuck on the "who would you choose to live" question regarding baby and mom in a dire situation. I understand why topics like that come up, but I just couldn't handle it and was MIA quite a bit this week.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
GTKY? ...I just aim to go into everything with the mindset that I will deliver a healthy baby boy and as far as parenting, I think I try to just do my best which some days are better than others, but as long as my kids know I love them, that's what matters
