Re: 35 and over moms - November
25 weeks exactly today
2) How are you feeling?
Lots of hip & heel pain. Walking up the stairs was a challenge yesterday because my hips were so achy. Between walking for exercise, craft fairs, and weekly meal prep I spent a LOT of time on my feet this weekend though so I probably need to scale back a bit. Mild morning nausea has come back in the last week or so too. I didn't have much 1st tri sickness at all though so I can't complain.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share?
Regular appointment was 10/30, had an ultrasound an 1 hour glucose tolerance last Thursday. The baby is measuring right on track except for a big belly - it's a full week ahead. I had to laugh at that because between me & my husband there's no doubt this kiddo will be a chunk. Wasn't laughing so much when I found out I failed the 1 hour though.
1) How far along are you?
25w3d....35 y/o
2) How are you feeling?
No symptoms. I haven't had pregnancy symptoms yet.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share?
I had 1h glucose on saturday...should hear results today. 28w appointment on nov. 30th. Then I move to every 2 weeks after that.
2. Tired and extremely irritable which is sort of normal but people are more annoying now. Also my stomach muscles are sore all the time
3. Regular ob appt this week with another dr in the practice which makes me sad,but my regular ob wants me to meet all the doctors in the practice
1) How far along are you? 27 weeks on Wednesday. Hello third trimester!!!!!
2) How are you feeling? Hip and crotch pain towards the end of the day. Tired, winded and hungry but I really shouldn't complain. Can't get things off the floor anymore. Putting on pants and underwear is becoming a circus act.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? I take my GD diabetes test on Friday. After my appointment on the 16th, I start biweekly apointments. I hope he stays in as close to his due date of 2/7 as possible. This is our busy season for work and I need as much time as possible to get everything completed before I leave on maternity.
1) How far along are you? 27+4 over here.
2) How are you feeling? Getting up is getting harder, and it takes a bit to get comfortable to fall asleep, but overall not bad compared to 1st tri lol. Work is stressing me out and I'm seriously considering taking a step back since the next 15 months are going to be BRUTAL here.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? 2 appointments on Thurs, so will have updates then! Also my baby shower is this weekend, so we'll see how that goes lol.
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. I think I finally got my 2nd tri energy and I’m going to try to harness it and get as much done as possible before 3rd tri exhaustion sets in.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? OB appt on Friday and then I start every 2 weeks after that. I actually haven’t seen the same Dr. twice at our practice yet, because I want to meet everyone there and know that we won’t necessarily know who will be there delivering. I’m more nervous about having a slew of med students coming in during delivery since we’re delivering at a teaching hospital
We did a 5 hr crash course on child birth this weekend. There was so much info all at once that we both got a little emotional afterwards, but overall I’m feeling much less scared than before.
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good! No major issues.Trying to get as much done on my checklist before the cold weather and holiday frenzy begins!
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? Had an OB appt today, and after the December appt, I move to twice a month. All is good with LO, and everything seems to be on track. Glucose test to be done when I'm 28 weeks. After all the stories I read, I'm not looking forward to it!
I do my childbirth and infant childcare classes in January, so I hope that I can get through those classes before I deliver! We also made an appt at a pediatrics office in a few weeks to meet the staff and get some info. They were recommended by my OB, so hoping that it'll work out for us.
2. Feeling full and heavy. And kinda like my bump is droopy and I should hoist it up somehow.
3. Had my first wic appointment today, it wasn't too bad. I go next week for 2 appointments the first is my ob check up and 1 hr. Glucose on Tuesday and then on Thursday i go back for the tdap shot and rogam shot. I'm not looking forward to either of those appointments.

1) How far along are you?
27w
2) How are you feeling?
Good. Heavy and big and I get tired/winded quickly. I've been very emotional lately and I'm not an emotional person so I'm scaring my husband a little bit. I'm a little scared myself too since this never happened with the other two.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share?
Glucose test yesterday along with my monthly appt. Everything looks good. They took a bunch of blood for tests, but I'm most curious to see if my thyroid has changed again. That might explain the emotional stuff. Nothing else until Dec 4th unless I fail the GD test.
2) How are you feeling? Tired. The kidlet keeps deciding to practice his cervical tap dancing at 2am the past couple of nights.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? Took a 2 hour glucose on Saturday and I passed! Woohoo!

I didn't get water during the 1 hour but had several bottles during this one. I think it all depends on the doctor/lab though. Have some sort of snack waiting when you get done too. I knew I was going to grab lunch on the way home regardless but having that apple w/ cheese in my bag had me feeling better before I even got to the car. I've been craving salty snacks all afternoon, like my brain is trying to make up for the sugar overload or something. It's a good thing we don't have chips or crackers in the house because I'd be going to town.
Update - the nurse just called. I passed! Happy dance!
Congrats @fatted_calf!
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good, but not quite as much energy as I had a few weeks ago.
3) Any appointment updates or news to share? I found out that I have a marginal cord insertion, which is where the umbilical cord is attached to the side of the placenta rather than the center. My doctor said not to worry about it, but Dr. Google has plenty of horror stories that make me nervous. I have to have regular growth ultrasounds with my first one being tomorrow and he also said there's a slightly higher chance of needing a c-section.
So my calm and uncomplicated pregnancy is now turning me into a ball of nerves, but I'm thankful that I'll have the regular ultrasounds and will be monitoring the situation.

@karcerplus3 We have officially claimed you and aren't letting you go anywhere.
@awb1216 That's what I've had to tell myself as these crazy and/or worrisome things pop up too, I'm very fortunate to have the care I do. It's hard to stay in that mindset when you're concerned about your health and your baby's though. Fingers crossed all goes well.
@awb1216 Googling is like the best and totally worst thing, right! Let us know how the growth scan goes!
@chucksmom15 Glad you passed!
Growth scan was good, she's still measuring within one day of her due date and the placenta is up high which reduces of the cord crossing the cervix. And I was able to confirm that it's a marginal cord insertion (cord near the edge of the placenta) and not a velamentous cord insertion (cord inserted into membranes of placenta), which is a relief. Unfortunately she was facing the back so I didn't get to take home any cute pictures, but just thankful that all is good so far.
#2 due 2.15.18
Thanks for the kind words. I figure it's training me to eat portion sizes which was never my strong suit, so hopefully that'll help me post delivery!
