  How far along are you?
  37 weeks 4 days
  
  Why are you high-risk?
  GD
  
  Any additional monitoring or testing this week?
  My last NST scan and weekly appointment. Scheduled for CSection 9-15
  
  Any concerns/news currently?
  Tomorrow is the big day I had to make it to to get my full maternity leave benefits. However I found out today my leave paper work dates are messed up so it is showing it is declined and the person I need to talk to isn't in today. Ughhh
  
  Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 
  All my leave stuff gets figured out tomorrow so I can put all my attention on the baby and not worry about money.

  I know some of us have had our babes already. How is it adjusting to the new addition? How is recovery going?

  Recovery is going well. Aside from some minor issues with my stitches, the recovery process has been a breeze. I'm so ready to be allowed to exercise and get back to my normal routine again. There are so many awesome parks and hiking trails I would love to take our baby girl this fall.
  
  Baby girl is doing great. All the animals have adjusted very well to her arrival. Our Great Dane thinks the baby is her puppy. She will try to clean her, uses her snout to tuck the blankets in around the baby when she is sleeping, and brings her chew toys to the crib. It's so adorable. Late night feedings can be a bit rough now and then, but sweet baby snuggles make it all worth it!

  Physical recovery has been really easy, aside from the zero bladder control that plagued me for the first week. I have control back, but now it feels like I may have a UTI? And also the opening of my urethra burns constantly (like there's a tear) idk what that is. Sorry TMI. 
  Breast Feeding is going better. I was having sharp fiery burning pain in the right side immediately after any kind of milk expression - I'm on Diflucan and an expensive nipple ointment that seems to be helping now. Not nearly as painful as it was before.
  
  Baby is doing well, we had a few nights of cluster feeding, but we're doing 3 hrs ish now overnight.

  Baby and I are doing good. Going to see an LC tonight to see if she has a tongue tie since both tips of my nipples are scabbed and bloody. Also, this time around the post patrum contractions were no joke!

  How far along are you? 37 weeks C-Section set for 39 weeks 2 days (if she stays breech)
  
  Why are you high-risk? Breech, GD, Age, Size blah blah blah
  
  Any additional monitoring or testing this week? Dr appointment and NST
  Gonna ask some questions about hip displasia and swaddling at the dr appointment but not sure that he will have that much info as he does OB and isn't a pediatric dr. 
  
  Any concerns/news currently? Baby is still breech, my GD seems to be doing a ok...
  
  Had some weird pains the other day on my left hand side and thought for a few mins that maybe it was contractions but they went away...also had a sore throat that happened for a few hours the other day and then gone too. 
  
  Edit: I am seriously drooling over the idea of the foods I can eat once this baby is on the outside...also watching c-section videos on the internet uffda....as well as reading the horror stories of people that had a bad recovery from a c-section oh my! I also just started reading about breech babies and issues with hips and that they often keep their legs up for awhile after birth (like days sometimes months)....oh google!
  
  GTKY: What's your favorite part of fall? Apple Cider, warm/hot days and colder nights, apple pies, flip flops are still acceptable.

  Hi guys. I went MIA due to severe nausea and vomiting in the last weeks of my pregnancy. I was pretty sick and lost a bunch of weight. I was put on phenergan and diclegis and was able to get control of the vomiting, but was nauseous all the way to the end. My BP started creeping as well, so I was booked for a csection on 8/28 at 37w2d. On the early morning of 8/22 at 36w3d my water broke and I had a repeat csection and welcomed baby boy Jack. He is doing great and is just precious.
  
  Congrats to everyone on your new babes! Praying for easy deliveries for ladies with inside babes. Almost there!

  How far along are you? 38 weeks
  
  Why are you high-risk? breech baby wouldn't turn and X-ray shows my pelvis isn't big enough to try for a vaginal delivery. C/S scheduled for Tuesday! 38+5
  
  Any additional monitoring or testing this week? all the monitoring and testing is done now, one last position check in Tuesday before they airlift him out juuuuust in case he turns, but the docs (and my pain walking) say that he's pretty engaged down there and will almost certainly not turn.
  
  Any concerns/news currently? nope
  
  Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? smooth process, no language confusion (most people here are fluent in English and I've put it in my "birth plan"), and smooth recovery next week!
  
  GTKY: What's your favorite part of fall? changing colours, sweaters and leggings, warm drinks...I love fall!!
