MollyandD · May 2017

How far along are you? 38 weeks

How big is baby? Spaghetti squash or winter melon.

Any appointments this week? Yesterday, and again next Thursday.

Symptoms? I've had the worst week. I pulled a muscle, not that its a symptom, but it sucked. I had massive stomach pains, to the point that I thought something was seriously wrong. Turns out to be very painful gas. I never knew gas bubbles could hurt so bad.

Cravings? Nothing.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone one else experienced gas so painful that you confused it for a gallbladder issue?

i had protein in my urine yesterday, which has me terrified. I'm trying to be calm, but it's really hard.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? My work is doing a Cinco de Mayo themed potluck for lunch today.

onebadmotha · May 2017

How far along are you? 37 weeks!

How big is baby? I think he's about baby sized at this point

Any appointments this week? I had one earlier in the week (at which my doctor said "anytime after the 37 week mark is fair game" so...holy shit), and I have another early next week. I think the doc will do a cervical check at my next appointment.

Symptoms? The same as the past few weeks- heartburn, lots of sweet baby movements, and even more peeing. I'm starting to get random bouts of "lightening crotch" which is pleasant. Makes me think perhaps things are happening down there.

Cravings? Not really. Food actually isn't as appealing now as it was. I think my stomach is being smooshed by baby at this point.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? Ummm...maybe I'll grab Chipotle for lunch? Haha...no, no plans.

bacorrea · May 2017

How far along are you? 39 weeks!

How big is baby? Pumpkin

Any appointments this week? I had one on Tuesday, I let them check me, I was 0cm and 50% effaced. I know that means nothing, but I'm probably going to lose it if I have to be indued. My next appointment is Monday.

Symptoms? My whole body just hurts.

Cravings? Not really

Rants/Raves/Questions? I want to go get a mani/pedi trying to decide when I should go!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? Nope

@MollyandD gas pains suck! They can be super painful. I'm sorry. Are they concerned that you have pre-e due to the protein in your urine?

jayandaplus · May 2017

How far along are you? 37 weeks!

How big is baby? Romaine lettuce, honeydew melon, and striped skunk.

Any appointments this week? Next Friday, if I'm still pregnant. Breastfeeding class on Monday.

Symptoms? All the pelvic cramping and pressure, back ache, right femoral nerve pain, and plenty of BH and mini-contractions that feel like spasms.

Cravings? No, just ready to be done with my GD diet.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green.

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? I forgot it was Cinco de Mayo. To me May 5th means baby is full term and I can go into labor any time! So, my plans are just to be ready for that. I'm so done with all the anxiety and discomfort of the last two weeks with uterine irritability. My uterus and everything nearby is literally uncomfortable all the time, and it's draining on me. So, no plans except trying to get baby to come!

onebadmotha · May 2017

@bacorrea - A mani/pedi sounds amazing! I thought for some reason we weren't allowed to have painted nails at the hospital? I'm not sure where I got that idea. I'll have to look into it. If that's not the case, I'll definitely be scheduling a mani/pedi date soon

jayandaplus · May 2017

@MollyandD Sorry about the gas pains. Yes, we see people in the ER for that all the time. It's amazing how painful it can be. Have you asked your OB if you can have gas-x? Simethicone makes the gas bubbles smaller, but I don't know about safety during pregnancy.
@kayemjay2 Are you excited or nervous for baby to come? It could be another 3-4 weeks, you never know.

@bacorrea Are you trying anything to get baby to come?

onebadmotha · May 2017

@jayandaplus - All of the above! I'm excited to meet this little guy and to not be pregnant anymore, but I'm getting really emotional that my sweet DS won't be my only baby for much longer! How about you? So exciting that you get to find out if your little one is a boy or a girl soon! We were Team Green last time and it was such an amazing moment when DH announced "it's a boy!"

clebl24 · May 2017

How far along are you? 38 weeks

How big is baby? Winter melon

Any appointments this week? Tuesday, and again next Tuesday. I had u/s to check baby's position. Everything looked good. He or she has huge cheeks and lots of hair (maybe there is something to the old wives tale that heartburn means baby will have hair). I'm 2-3 cm and 50% effaced.

Symptoms? Heartburn, generally uncomfortable, even more frequent urination (didn't think that was possible), random shooting pain in left thigh (I think baby is on a nerve), exhaustion (but I can't sleep). I honestly forgot how miserable the end of pregnancy can be, I told DH that I never wanted to be pregnant again and said I hated my life at that particular moment. (In hindsight, maybe I was being slightly dramatic.)

Cravings? Nothing, except when I decide I'm hungry and I want everything. This morning I've already had a waffle, sausage egg mcmuffin, hash brown, and a donut. By dinner time I won't be interested in food.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DH is working incredibly long hours and I'm struggling to keep up with my toddler. I hate having 100% of the responsibilities from sun up to sun down. DS left before we woke up yesterday and got home after DS was sleeping last night. I'm dreading him being gone all weekend for Nat'l Guard duty. I really need to get my hospital bag packed, but I can't do it when I'm home alone with our very attention demanding toddler. I'm calling in the grandparent reinforcement unit this weekend.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? None. If I can't have a margarita, then it's not Cinco de Mayo in my world.

@mollyandd I've experienced some pretty painful gas this pregnancy. I get instant relief when it passes, but before it passed I wasn't sure what was going on.

clebl24 · May 2017

@kayemjay2 I think mani/pedi are ok. I was under the impression that you should avoid having cuticles cut due to the risk of infection. I had a pedicure after my appt in Tuesday. It was amazingly relaxing. You should go for it!

onebadmotha · May 2017

@clebl24 - I'd heard that as well. I thought it had something to do with the oxygen thing they put on your finger/being able to see your nail beds? Perhaps I'll ask my doctor what my hospital's policy on that is.

nda_roxybabe · May 2017

@MollyandD I sometimes get it so painful it's hard to get up/ move

@kayemjay2 they used to want to be able to see your nail bed to check something, but I guess they've figured a work around.

bacorrea · May 2017

I haven't been told no mani/pedi and I definitely got one before DD came, so I'm going.

@jayandaplus I haven't yet. My parents are going to get my sister from college tomorrow so I am hoping to not go into labor tomorrow. My brother graduates next Friday from college and my whole family will be in NC Thursday & Friday, so I wouldn't have anybody to watch DD. Basically
if I could go into labor next Saturday, that would be great.

I've had no signs of labor so I'm thinking this kid has no desire to come anytime soon.

jayandaplus · May 2017

@kayemjay2 Get a mani/pedi if you want! As for checking oxygenation in the hospital, darker colors and acrylics make it harder to read, BUT who cares?? It's about you, the nurses will figure out how to measure your oxygenation. Yes, I am SO ready and excited to meet this baby and find out if it's a boy or girl (I've had no inclination all pregnancy.) I'm also just ready for this next phase. I'm ready for the 4th trimester.
@clebl24 Sorry about your clingy toddler and busy DH.

Good that you're calling in the grandparents.
@bacorrea Hopefully baby waits until after all of your family festivities!

MollyandD · May 2017

@bacorrea preeclampsia is the worry. I don't have enough symptoms at this time to say I have it, but we have to monitor carefully.

mspacman34 · May 2017

@MollyandDI'm sorry you are not feeling great this week! I have had gas pain, but haven't considered it to be gall bladder issues. Did you ask your doctor about it?

@kayemjay2 Can totally relate to the Holy Shit comment.

Mentally, i'm totally unprepared for what is to come!

@bacorrea A mani/pedi sounds so nice! I say the sooner the better!

@jayandaplus I'm sorry you are having so much discomfort. I'm so glad you've reached 37 weeks and baby can come anytime!

@clebl24 I love how you were able to find out on the ultrasound about baby's features. So sweet! I have been having a lot of thigh pain lately, too.

How far along are you? 38 weeks!

How big is baby? winter melon

Any appointments this week? I had one yesterday. Dilated 2-3 cm and 75% effaced. Dr. said the baby's head is LOW. If I make it to next weeks appointment she said she could strip the membranes, but doesn't think it will be necessary.

Symptoms? Cramping, contractions, fatigue

Cravings? Ice Cream

Rants/Raves/Questions? I have been so busy these last few weeks finishing up the semester. I had planned to get everything in order next week or so, but now we will be doing a lot this weekend since my doctor thinks this baby could come soon. I know it could still be awhile, but I'm still a little freaked out about baby possibly being here soon.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? Today is my last day of school! DH surprised me and picked me up for lunch! Tonight, I'm not doing anything!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

GTKY: Do you have any Cinco de Mayo plans or events today? Nope, I don't really Cinco de Mayo. I love mexican food, i don't need a special excuse to indulge
