5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? We went to someone's house for dinner tonight and the wife had all her maternity clothes out to give to Goodwill. She didn't even know I was pregnant (our husbands are coworkers). I came home with 11 dresses, 1 shirt, and 3 shorts. It tripled my summer wardrobe.

6. GTKY: Where is your favorite place to shop? In town I like TJ MAxx, if I get to the "big city" Target. We don't have a lot of options close by.

1. How far along are you?
25 (+1) weeks!

2. How big is baby?
Cauliflower

3. Any upcoming appointments this week?
Not this week

4. Any new symptoms?
I had heartburn super bad last week. Coupled with the constant feeling of Charlie horses in both of my calves it's been miserable. Thankfully I'm on day 2 without heartburn.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
Any suggestions on what to do about my calves? It used to just wake me up at night so I attributed it to a lack of water before bed. Now it's constant all day and now in both legs rather than just ge left. I've increased water intake, and have been doing stretches.

6. GTKY: Where is your favorite place to shop?
I love online boutiques. They are sometimes a little more than department stores, but the clothes are more unique

@mrsashworth522 I was getting leg cramps really bad at night and increasing my water helped a lot. I also had them when I was a teenager and eating more bananas always helped then. So if the water hasn't helped much I would try that.

@mrsashworth522 I agree with @shyviolet. Also, once you have one, as much as it may hurt at first, pull your foot "upright" at a 90 degree angle to your leg and wiggle your toes. Always helps me get rid of them.

@mrsashworth522 leg cramps can also be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. I was having leg cramps a lot and started drinking water. It helped a lot but still got them. I also use the foot flexing technique when one comes on that helps. Then I was told I'm anemic so I've started taking an iron supplement. Not getting the leg cramps as often now. So if you aren't taking an iron supplement, I would recommend it.

1. How far along are you? 25wks

2. How big is baby? Baby cauliflower

3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Regular appointment on Saturday

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? STMs, how far along - if ever - were you when you started to figure out the baby anatomy inside you (like is this a hand or a foot, a head or a butt)?

6. GTKY: Where is your favorite place to shop? I hate shopping unless it's for food so I would say Whole Foods.

@livlew-2 I was never able to tell with the exception of finding out he was breech and knowing his head was in my rib cage

1. How far along are you? 24 weeks

2. How big is baby? Ear of corn

3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope!

4. Any new symptoms? Heartburn here and there (depending on what I eat), bloody noses came back, and some more RLP than usual. Also a bit of cramping.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Nothing right now.

6. GTKY: Where is your favorite place to shop? I really like small, historic towns and going in and out of the shops that they have to offer. You can always find the most unique stuff there.

@livlew-2 i don't really remember when I could figure that out. Mostly I knew once he was head down. You hear stories or see pictures of moms that can see arms or feet swipe across their bellies... i never had that. Mine were also just little jabs of his feet to my right side.
