1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

I thought the celery thing was weird too.

2) How are you feeling? Itchy. I have a rash starting between my breasts. I can’t get into my doctor until next week, because of course. Going to go to the pharmacist and see if there is a safe anti itch cream that I can use to see me through Christmas.

3) Any appointments this week?

Nope. Next one is next week for 34 weeks.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Anyone else get a rash in pregnancy? How did you deal? From what I read online there really isn’t any concern about it or much you can do about it.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food??? Baking. All the baking.

1. Through my whole pregnancy, the list of items/ foods that match the size of the baby have veen so confusing! "A little longer than 17 inches, a little heavier than 4 lbs" is helpful for me to imagine the size of my little buddy in there.

2. I feel itchy too. And I have a cold. And my hips are now hurting out of nowhere. Basically I just feel done . Heartburn has been raging for 20+ weeks and I'm ready for an end. #grinch

3. Nope

4. Rave- ladies, get yourselves a squatty potty or at least a little step stool to plant your feet on while using the toilet. I was struggling w pregnancy constipation before- no longer! It works miracles to just get the right position (basically a squat position). Maybe tmi but I had to share because no one should suffer!

5. Potatoes. Give me carbs!

chucksmom15 · December 2017

@pandappanderson the celery thing just makes me want buffalo wings lol.

@wal2017 totally have a squatty potty!!!

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

2) How are you feeling? Not sleeping and my back and hips hurt. So the usual stuff lol.
3) Any appointments this week? 2 ultrasounds. One tomorrow and one Friday. DH is excited because he is off tomorrow and gets to go. Going so often now the techs are starting to recognize me.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? So excited about Christmas!!!!! Also, finally making progress on my projects at work that I need to get done before he comes. Starting to panic a little less.
5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food??? We are having a Honeybaked Ham and I am super excited. Those things are delicious. Plus I am making bread pudding for dessert.

karcerplus3 · December 2017

@wal2017 and @pandappanderson - be careful with the itching. Try an oatmeal bath but if it gets worse call your OB b/c it might be PUPPS.

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

2) How are you feeling?

Eh. I got over the stomach bug that landed me in L&D okay but I since then I've been exhausted and feel hugely uncomfortable. My hand/fingers and toes/feet are starting to swell too. I feel like my legs/groin area is permanently sore (like I worked out sore) and it hurts to lift my legs to put them up. I'm a wreck basically.

3) Any appointments this week?

Tomorrow. It's partly routine and partly follow up to my L&D stay and pre-e testing. I'll be scheduling my biophysical as well I believe.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

I just can't get everything done that needs to be done! The boys birthday party was this past weekend an I'm so glad that's over but now I'm stressing over Christmas and if I have enough stuff (stocking stuffers??) and when to wrap it all and everything.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food???

Cookies! My mom, sister and I make so many batches of so many different kinds of cookies.

pandappanderson · December 2017

@karcerplus3 I think mine may actually be Pupps from what it looks like to what I’ve read online. Unfortunately I can’t get into my doctor until after Christmas so I went to the pharmacist and she recommended a low dosage hydrocortisone and oatmeal baths to get me through the holidays.

eggplantface · December 2017

@wal2017 I love my squatty potty!

gingermama29 · December 2017

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.
Yeah, I've felt like the veggie comparisons in this app don't always make sense week to week. But I'm excited we're at 33!

2) How are you feeling?
Sore and tired. I was having BH walking around Wegmans last night which was less than pleasant. And oh dear lord, this heartburn!

3) Any appointments this week?
Sitting in the waiting room at my chiropractor right now. I had another ultrasound this past Saturday and loved getting to see my sweet girl! My next regular check-up was supposed to be the Tuesday after Christmas, but they're closed so I'm going this Friday instead.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm having mild anxiety about working up till I go into labor, but I don't want to go out of work too early if she doesn't come on time. Ahhh.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food???
Cookies!! I'm baking all of mine this week and am super excited to finally have the time to do so!

smorzandoj · December 2017

2) feeling...finished with this process

3) NST this morning. Again on a Wednesday. And then the mother load of appointments next week.

4) meh.

5) cookies. All the cookies.

Starynightsky24 · December 2017

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

2) How are you feeling? just that same old heartburn... it’s so annoying.

3) Any appointments this week? Not this week. Next one is at 34 weeks.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m excited for Christmas as well! DS and DD are both old enough to really enjoy it which makes it so much more fun.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food??? WHmmm I’m not sure. My family always makes ham which I’m not a huge fan of haha! DH is making peppermint mocha cheesecake this year though... that I’m excited for.

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

2) How are you feeling?
Achy. Pelvic pain per usual from SPD and now lower back hurts too. Oh and of course the ball of fire heartburn from hell
3) Any appointments this week?
No appointment until first week of January but we have our 4hr child birth prep class on Wednesday.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I've had pregnancy-induced headaches since first trimester. Anyone experience this? every few days they let up to the point where they are dull and lingering then return full blown. They are horrible and keep me up all night. I'm well hydrated. Tylenol offers no relief and I have tried cold compresses with minimal relief. Someone suggested applying peppermint oil to my temples so I'll try that today. My BP has been within range as well. Sigh. I'm just so frustrated and would like to feel like myself again LOL I'm delirious from lack of sleep.
5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food???
Home baked cookies and cakes

babymnsmomma · December 2017

@Starynightsky24 a peppermint mocha cheesecake sounds so delish!!!

@smorzandoj ditto on all the cookies

@gingermama26 sometimes a teaspoon of baking soda in water relieves my heartburn

@karcerplus3 glad your boys birthday party went well and you are over the L&D bug. My vagina and perianal areas have been super sore too

@chucksmom15 sorry about the back and hips pain..is the maternity belt helping some?

@wal2017 I saw a squatty potty at Costco and need to grab one.

@pandappanderson Try a cool bath followed by unscented lotion on the rash. I have a rash that started yesterday on my inner left arm

mblomq2 · December 2017

I’m also a squatty potty user and fan! It sounds like overall many of us are feeling the pregnancy wear and tear on our bodies this week.

1) 33 weeks!! According to app we are all carrying celery?? How weird.

2) How are you feeling?
Today not so great. I had family in town from FL and I over did it this weekend doing Christmas/touristy stuff. Feel like I’ve walked 1000 miles, body is sore, and I started having a ton of Braxton Hicks. Think I’m having my first bit of lightning crotch too so that’s fun.

3) Any appointments this week?
Had a visit last week and i was at the office for 3 hours, saw medical provider for maybe 25 minutes all in. I was super frustrated. I have a minor Zika risk that I never got any results from, so they had me schedule one more ultrasound. I’m actually a little excited about it bc otherwise it’s just the 12 and 20 week scans.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Is it normal or weird to have many Braxton Hicks over the course of the day? I always thought they were more random and infrequent. It’s still not very painful like I assume a contraction would be, or so regular that it’s pre term labor.

rant/rave- I would love to curl up for the season and begin maternity leave. Not looking forward to the 3 weeks of craziness that will happen in January. On the good side my Xmas shopping and wrapping is done!

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food???
definitely cookies!!

3) Any appointments this week? Yes on thursday

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food??? baking baking and baking

chucksmom15 · December 2017

I've had a few of what I think are BH @mblomq2 but they have been random. If you are worried call your doctor. Better to call and it's nothing.

Only call if you you have more than four in an hour that aren’t stopped by drinking fluids and laying down.

Just had another biophyscial profile but they measured him today! He is 4 pounds 13 ounces. She said everything is measuring on schedule except his belly. That is a week ahead.

At my ultrasound this past Saturday, my LO's head was measuring a week ahead. That'll be fun to push out.
Glad everything is looking good for your LO @chucksmom15!

chucksmom15 · December 2017

I held my breath when she measured his head @gingermama26 for that very reason. Hopefully your LO will let everything else catch up.

It wouldn't surprise me if it didn't. My family makes pretty big babies with big heads. My siblings and I were all around 9 pounds and most of my nieces and nephews have been too.

gymmonkey95 · December 2017

@babymnsmomma whenever I would get migraines with my DD I would end up in the ER/L&D because I couldn't get rid of them and they would cause me to puke. The only way they could get rid of them was 1000mg Tylenol, a dose of benadryl, and a zofran. Maybe you can call your Dr. and see if they can help you figure out some kind of plan, I couldn't imagine having a constant headache with no relief!

How are you feeling?
As others have said the heartburn which I'm already taking Zantac 2x a day for is killer and I'm pretty sure I have RLS but of course it's only at night when I want to sleep.
3) Any appointments this week?
Not this week but I had one last week and one next week.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I was supposed to have orientation at Target this week but it got rescheduled for the day after Christmas. All I want is to be able to work as much as possible before baby comes but at this rate I won't be able to even take the job

5) GTKY: What is your favorite Christmas food???
my favorite is my Mom's lasagna because she only makes it at Christmas but I absolutely love all the baking!

babymnsmomma · December 2017

@gymmonkey95 Thanks. I've been to the ER a few times and end up getting extra IV hydration and a migraine cocktail of Morphine, Benadryl and Reglan. This cocktail temporarily reduces the severity leaving me with a lingering dull headache (which I have learned to live with) until the pounding returns full blast. I saw a neurologist. Scheduled for an MRI without contrast.

Sorry to hear your orientation was moved
