How big is baby? celery

Any appointments this week? Yup, normal check up

Symptoms? Baby has moved into a permanent spot on my sciatic nerve, I actually had my back lock up from it. Luckily, wearing an annoying belt seems to have helped enough I may be able to make it.

Cravings? hard candy, water like there's none left around me

Rants/Raves/Questions? I know I complained about this in the Monday BF, but I'm still upset with the MIL regarding the baby shower and still don't want to go. The dress I ordered to wear showed up, and I'm seriously considering just wearing pj's. I feel bad for H because I'm still upset about it and it's a position he's never been in with his family, I'm sure it's hard on him.

My dog is driving me nuts this morning! Partly hormones I'm sure, but I can deal without the barking. Since we just moved and she's adjusting to being in an apartment again I try to be calm, but man she really needs to stop lol

Team Pink/Blue/Green? blue

GTKY: What are you looking forward to indulging in once the baby is born? (Things you can't do now) I don't know...lay on my right side lol I think that's what caused some of my intense pain and unexpected trip to my dr the other week. It's like little guy gets stuck up in my ribs and plays the drums on my organs when I lay that way!

Ps I can't get the bullets off the other part...And just tried and got myself in a box...stupid mobile bumping...

How big is baby? Huge if my belly is any indicator. People are shocked when I tell them I have 7ish weeks left.

Symptoms? Aches hips and pelvis, lots of low pressure and lightening crotch, and the fatigue is starting to creep in.

Cravings? Costco hot dogs... hangs head in shame. I've only had two this pregnancy but they were really good. And now a slurpee after the convo in randoms

Team Pink/Blue/Green? blue

GTKY: What are you looking forward to indulging in once the baby is born? (Things you can't do now)

Something delicious that includes alcohol. And sleeping on my stomach, even if only for 2 hour increments.

ETA: @Jens_Hoes I totally agree! Being at the very end of the month it totally catches me off guard how many mamas we have who are so close to full term! So excited for all the babies to come in all their adorable squishy glory.

Cravings? Chicken breast sub with bacon from Subway and Pacific Veggie pizza with pepperoni and extra mushrooms from Dominos

Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone have any remedies for heartburn? Zantac and tums don't cut it anymore. Neither does watching what I eat, drinking milk or drinking baking soda water. It's gotten to the point of waking up in the night throwing up.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

GTKY: What are you looking forward to indulging in once baby is born? (Things you can't do now) Being able to sleep on my stomach, eating what I want and not having to worry about BS spiking, and being able to have a glass of wine

Yiggle09 · April 2017

@michelle59-2 you could ask your Dr for a prescription. My friend had to get a prescription she ended her pregnancy sleeping sitting up on the couch because it was so bad

sarah0985 · April 2017

@michelle59-2 I take Prilosec. Zantac worked for me at first and then only worked for a few weeks. I've been taking Prilosec since January.

michelle59-2 · April 2017

Thank you @Yiggle09 and @sarah0985! I did message my Dr last night.

BabyMC517 · April 2017

@michelle59-2 and @Yiggle09 I take Prilosec every day for my hernia and GERD (for like years now). Since being pregnant I've taken tums as needed and Zantac. My dr just told me I could take Zantac every night if it was hat bad. So Prilosec in the morning and Zantac at night. Maybe that would help?

michelle59-2 · April 2017

Thanks @BabyMC517!

BabyMC517 · April 2017

Any time! @michelle59-2! And if you want you can take omeprazole which is the generic for Prilosec. That's actually what I take.

I definitely take a generic too (cheaper!) but usually say Prilosec since people know that at least.
