STM+ Check-in 12/27

missblaze · December 2017

How far along are you?

Any appointments this week/last?

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies?

Rants/Raves?

GTKY: How did the holidays go?

Also - Is this a thread that we want to continue? I feel like check-ins can get a bit redundant at this point, but I'm happy to keep going if it's useful to others!

@missblaze maybe a postpartum check in thread instead? I don't know if they're still hanging around TB or not.

How far along are you? 38 weeks

Any appointments this week/last? Next is Friday.

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies? This pregnancy has been significantly more uncomfortable than my first. Also, I started dilating at 36 weeks with this one, and not until labor at 41 weeks with the first, so I'm REALLY hoping that means she'll come earlier.

Rants/Raves? Just so tired.

GTKY: How did the holidays go? They were okay. I was super risky and went 3.5 hours away to visit my parents. The car ride was not fun, but it was nice to see them. I missed out on seeing my sisters, but we are all skyping today, so I'm looking forward to that. Hoping for a New Years baby now!

ETA my response to the questions.

Any appointments this week/last? Appointment today, baby's HR was great, still sitting at 1cm, and the doctor basically told me I'll likely follow suit to my first pregnancy(where DS was 9 days late) and go closer to, if not past, my due date. I thought all pregnancies were different and anything could happen so that was super discouraging...and also, I didn't ask her she just offered up this information I could have done without lol.

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies? This pregnancy I've had a lot more pressure. I've also gained less weight, but gotten way more stretch marks! I feel like she's higher and my belly is rounder whereas with DS it seemed more oval so the stretchies are in a different spot than the ones I got with DS are!

Rants/Raves? I've had some cold and sinus issues hit and feel so blehhh and DH is about to go on night shift so I won't have his help with DS. Accompanied by being so tired and having lots of lower back pain. I'm a whiner today!

GTKY: How did the holidays go? They went really well, exciting and busy and exhausting and of course it feels like they flew by! I am definitely looking forward to just taking it easy now.

ETA- @missblaze im definitely okay without them!

Any appointments this week/last? my 37w appointment was yesterday. 50% effaced, no dilation yet and everything else was good. I don't go back now until next Friday when I'll be 39w.

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies? Basically everything! No problems with my BP except with my initial appointment, feeling much better healthwise but much more uncomfortable.

Rants/Raves? Just getting used to no morning nap right now-I'm really hoping DD starts to add time onto her afternoon nap!

GTKY: How did the holidays go? Ok, DD was up way too late and barely napped all weekend. We're still trying to catch up from that, plus she's cutting another molar so she's just really fussy. We had lots of good food though!

I'm totally fine with no more check-ins at this point.

Any appointments this week/last? Just got home from my 38 week appointment and growth scan. Baby is measuring at 8lbs already which is freaking me out. I'm also only 1cm which is super discouraging....

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies? Ummmm pretty much everything! Ha!

Rants/Raves? Nada. Just ready to get this little lady out.

GTKY: How did the holidays go? Good. We went to my parents' (they live 10 minutes away). And we didn't go to ILs. It was so nice to just relax and not be watching the clock as we usually try to make it to both families on Christmas day.

I always get so behind on these. I’ll fill it out when I get on my computer today. I think maybe we should also move ticker changes to weekly maybe since it seems like only 2-4 are actually updating weekly now.

How far along: 36+6

Appointments: none this week, last week everything was fine, not dilated, but at least softening, everything else measuring on time and baby's heart rate was good

Differences to last pregnancy: pretty much everything! I don't think a single thing is the same except maybe the everlasting heartburn, but I don't remember that you have been as bad as it is this time around either

Rants and raves: the heartburn! Nothing helps, I haven't found a solution and am miserable every single day. I woke up from it once again today (went to bed at 8:30, 9pm) and now I'm up because of it and just want to sleep

GTKY how were the holidays: pretty relaxed, we slept in, had some good food and enjoyed being together for the most part

I haven't been here much these last couple months because there was nothing going on in this pregnancy, except the everlasting heartburn. It felt stupid to complain about it each week. now that we're closer it should be more interesting again I hope as we slowly start having our babies and our bodies get ready (hopefully!)?

Any appointments this week/last?
Had an appt Tuesday and nst Wed. Still 1cm and soft and baby dropped.

At this point in pregnancy, what has gone differently from your previous pregnancies?
Dd1 was born 36+6 so there’s that. This pregnancy is similar to DD2 as I feel like I will eventually need to be induced. I was having a lot of BH and cramps but they have halted and now I feel nothing

Rants/Raves?
rant: I feel like I’m never going into labor
rave: my husband is off this week and he’s doing sooo much around the house and I love it! I guess he’s nesting haha

GTKY: How did the holidays go?
Super busy. Celebrated Christmas for 4 days straight and I had a horrible head cold through most of it. But the kids were very well behaved at all the relatives’ homes and they had so much fun so it was worth it! Glad it’s over though lol

Also - Is this a thread that we want to continue? I feel like check-ins can get a bit redundant at this point, but I'm happy to keep going if it's useful to others!

I agree, maybe a pp check-in... Though I guess that's kinda what this whole board will turn into.

I'm 37 weeks and having appts every week. Everything is looking good. Tested positive for gbs, which stinks.

Both my pregnancies have been pretty easy. So far I've gained a little less weight, hope that stays true.

Christmas was nice and quiet, just the three of us. I was so grateful not to be hosting anyone. And cook what I wanted for myself. We talked and Skyped with our families in the morning, then went for an afternoon hike.

Rave: I'm done with work and done with the holidays, and had ds in daycare two days this week, to finish up the month. So fabulous to have a break to shop and clean (take down decorations) and get some projects done.

Rant: I neglected to stay current on my insurance EOB's and see that they haven't covered my 2x/week ultrasounds, even though I'm technically high risk. Ooof, that's going to hurt.
