6. GTKY: What is the best or worst pregnancy advice you have received?
One woman told me if my water broke early, to use one of those wine bottle vacuum seal cork things-it will convince my body it is not in labor. The girl I work with just started laughing. we're pretty sure the lady got offended. So, I won't be trying that one.

1. How far along are you? 28 weeks! Hello 3rd trimester!

2. How big is baby? Echidna

3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Next Wednesday I start going every 2 weeks.

4. Any new symptoms? Just the lovely external yeast infection I mentioned in symptoms. Also super edgy and moody, but I think that's more from weaning off my anxiety meds for the remainder of my pregnancy. I've been doing half doses the past 2 weeks, tonight will be my last dose.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? I'm tired of having to depend on other people to move heavy things like furniture and such. I wish I could do it myself.

6. GTKY: What is the best or worst pregnancy advice you have received? Worst is to eat whatever I want and sleep all the time. Especially annoying when you have a toddler. Best was to use sugar scrub

@aehogan90 molars are the devil. Teething wasn't bad with DS until molars. Hugs to you!

and_peggy · May 2017

@SouthernMama15 thanks. We've been in teething hell for a while. She got her first tooth at 4 months. But she takes a good month before they actually poke through. I used to think it would be horrible to have a baby born with teeth.....and then I experienced teething.

@aehogan90 DS got his first at 4.5 months and got 2 in 3 days. He always cut 2 at the same time. The older he was the worse it was.

1. How far along are you? 29 weeks!

2. How big is baby? acorn squash

3. Any upcoming appointments this week? nope

4. Any new symptoms? feet swell up when it's warm out.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? I want to put the nursery together but it's kinda hard when my shower is at the end of June

People told me not to go out and buy everything, but to wait to see what we don't have after the shower. I'm getting impatient!

6. GTKY: What is the best or worst pregnancy advice you have received? I got the ok to crush up my iron tablet so I can take it to boost my iron levels. Dr said to mix it in with chocolate pudding. Worst advice ever...iron has ruined chocolate pudding

OTmom3 · May 2017

1. How far along are you? 26 weeks

2. How big is baby? I can't remember...a head of lettuce maybe?

3. Any upcoming appointments this week? I get my progesterone shot every Monday, but otherwise no

4. Any new symptoms? I'm having horrible leg pain likely related to SI joint issue and instability in my pelvis. The pain is a tiny bit better today than it was yesterday but oh man it hurts.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? Not really

6. GTKY: What is the best or worst pregnancy advice you have received? Worst probably is just that you can eat anything and as much as you want while you're pregnant. I had a hard time losing weight after having my other kids, and never fully lost the weight after my second

To be honest, I'm not sure about the best but probably in general just joining birth month groups during pregnancy and beyond for the support. I'm still active in the other birth month groups, especially my daughter's July '12 FB group. It's awesome to have the support, especially when I was a FTM.

5. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?

6. GTKY: What is the best or worst pregnancy advice you have received?

I don't think Ive receive much advice one way or another. People in my life generally seem to keep their opinions to themselves which is nice.
