Let's all do a little intro, as a reminder and for those that weren't around when we did the first time!

How far along are you?

How are you doing?

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure (pre-pregnancy or since becoming pregnant)?

mmc in July 2016, passed naturally at what should have been 12w (baby measured 9w2d)

How far along are you?
30w5d

How are you doing?
Good! Finally healthy again, baby is moving a lot, nursery is coming together.

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?
Next week - follow-up anatomy scan to check the baby's kidneys and a check in with my doctor.

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
DH had to help me put on my socks and tie my shoes this weekend (partly because my jeans made it harder to bend, but still). 9-ish more weeks of this?

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure (pre-pregnancy or since becoming pregnant)?
I could be worse, but I love massages and getting my nails done.

How far along are you? 29 weeks 4 days

How are you doing? Pretty good. Realizing how close we are when I'm trying to schedule things on my calendar. Definitely need to get moving on finishing the nursery.

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to? OB appointment next Tuesday with an ultrasound!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Excited to head to the beach this weekend with my mom.

Any questions you want to ask the group?

How far along are you? 31 weeks!

How are you doing? Ok. Seeing a chiropractor tomorrow and really hoping they can help me!

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to? Next appointment is next Wednesday, next milestone is 37 weeks! Only 6 more weeks to go until he's full term

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant: my cat will.not.stop. meowing. She used to be an outdoor/abandoned cat (previous owner) and we took her in. She never ever asked to go outside until about a month ago. I guess she got bored? We're building her an enclosure because we don't want her to be a fully outdoor cat, but until it's ready I have to deal with her constant pleas.

Any questions you want to ask the group? Are any of you finally feeling more secure in this pregnancy? I think I feel like 80% sure that baby is going to be born and be ok, and the reality of it is finally actually sinking in.

GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure (pre-pregnancy or since becoming pregnant)? Right now it's shopping for baby stuff

. My shower is finally over and I'm like a dog let off her leash. Trying to still be controlled and stick to the list with what I buy but it is HARD and I gave in yesterday for an adorable sleeper with a wolf on it.

@kerils I go back and forth in my confidence - 80% feels about right. *TW* I have had two friends who had stillborn babies at 40weeks with no other complications. If I was only living with my own PGAL status, I think I would be more confident. But knowing their stories makes me so much more cautious until my baby is actually here.

Let's all do a little intro, as a reminder and for those that weren't around when we did the first time!
MC at around 6 weeks
Premature labor at 22 weeks
Preterm premature rupture of membranes at 17 weeks
How far along are you?
31.3 weeks!!

How are you doing?
I'm feeling good, only thing bothering me is the fact that I have GD and the last couple of days my levels have not been under control with diet even though I'm following the meal plan I was given.
When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?
May 17th, last MFM appointment and May 19th is my week 32 check up.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm almost certain baby is no longer breech! We shall wait and see (fingers crossed). Also I have not had a panic attack in a while!
Any questions you want to ask the group?
Are any of you dealing with gestational diabetes? What is your meal plan like? Are you on any medication or has diet alone been enough?
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure (pre-pregnancy or since becoming pregnant)?
Mani pedis are my thing, soothes me like no other thing.

@kerils I'm with @optbaby2017, I go back and forth. Some days I'm even 90% confident everything will be fine but other times I feel about 70% confident.

*TW*

Having 2 second trimester losses when nothing is supposed to go wrong and they were both perfectly healthy little boys, no pregnancy complications until the point I lost them, my brain will never allow me to be fully confident until I actually have this baby in my arms, PGAL brain is something I have to struggle with every day and keep telling myself all is fine.

optbaby2017 · May 2017

@fiorip No GD. I did have to do the 3hr after barely failing my 1hr, but passed. I've also worked as a medical social worker and seen women be diagnosed and also worked with some pre-diabetic non-pregnant folks. Drinking a big glass of water before meals and doing some light exercise after meals did wonders for a lot of people's numbers. Also paying close attention to how different foods/stress/illness effected them and then avoiding those or making other adjustments (like modifying recipes) as needed. Good luck!
