2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I feel pretty good, actually. A bit of heartburn, and my uterus feels all pressured if I bend over without doing a wide squat. I guess it's getting squished a bit, which would cause that weird feeling?
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I feel a lot better since the AS, but I am still nervous about a few things (baby was in the 80th and 90th percentiles on almost all measurements, but was in the 20th percentile on one, which is kinda strange in my mind). I'm making a list of things to ask the OB at the next appointment.
4. Any appointment updates? My next appt is in 3 weeks, so I've got a while to go still.
5. R/R/Q: I've suddenly developed a super sweet tooth, which is not good at all considering I already eat too many sweets as is.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? - Okay! Have to pee all the time and my back hurts if I’m on my feet a lot, but otherwise good!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? - I feel good as long as I feel baby move, but as soon as it stops I forget and get anxious again. My anxiety seems to be at its worst right before a US, I keep thinking of all the things that might be wrong! Rationally I know everything’s most likely fine, but you know how it is.
4. Any appointment updates? - AS on Friday! Which explains my current anxiety. But I’m also excited, dying to find out the sex, as well as general health status, of course. Please be cooperative, baby.
5. R/R/Q: Can’t believe I’m halfway! Also, yesterday I complained about baby not moving a lot compared to earlier last week. He/she must have read my mind because there’s a LOT of activity in there today! I can even feel the difference between wiggling around and kicks/punches now. It’s the best thing ever.

DS born 2/18/2019 DD born 4/1/2023 Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 22 weeks
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? A little reflux/heartburn, which I never had with DD1. Trouble sleeping.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Much better. I expect that my anxiety will ramp up again as we get close to our EDD, but for now, I’m feeling pretty good.
4. Any appointment updates? Regular OB appt next week. I don’t expect it to be very informative.
5. R/R/Q: Just started crafting for DD2’s room. I expect she’ll be in our room for some time, so maybe it’s silly, but I love putting the nursery together!
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif! Too many to pick a number 1, but here’s a good one:
Not great. Had AS yesterday and got a call less than an hour later for a rescan because they didn't like my amniotic fluid levels. Don't get reassurance from movement because placement of placenta.
4. Any appointment updates?
AS follow up Thursday of next week.
5. R/R/Q:
ImI scared. It was my hope that something would magically happen at 20 weeks to calm my nerves. Nope.
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif!
Not really a quote, but epic none the less.
“My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage." - Aunt Frances”
I'm sorry, @episcowitch. I hope that you get some reassurance next week at your appointment. Let us know how it goes. Do you also have an anterior placenta? Mine is, and it's been difficult to feel much movement.
@episcowitch I’m sorry your AS left you with more anxiety. I hope your next US comes quickly and with some reassuring news!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 23 weeks tomorrow
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? My hips ache especially when I’m sleeping on my sides. I get heartburn if I’m not careful about what I eat.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I’m feeling pretty good about the baby. She is a real mover! I’ve been reading about vbacs and am getting more anxious about that!
4. Any appointment updates? None
5. R/R/Q: I think I’m going to try to go to the chiropractor regularly to hopefully help my hip pain. I’ve been stretching nightly and it helps but I think I need a little outside aide.
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif! Not necessarily favorite quote but definitely favorite movie:
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I wish my freaking BV infection would go away! Fingers crossed the current treatment I am on actually works.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Fine other than annoyed at the bv and it's threat of pre-term labor.
4. Any appointment updates? Had a regular OB appointment on Tuesday, it was good, got to hear the hb on the doppler.
5. R/R/Q: I wish I could feel the baby! I'm so impatient.
6. GTKY: favorite movie quote? Feel free to gif! I have not a clue and am feeling really uninspired, probably anything that Dolly Parton says in the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
@episcowitch I'm sorry the AS stressed you out. I hope you get some reassuring news soon, thinking of you.
@grebretso Good luck tomorrow! It's so exciting (even if it is also anxiety provoking), looking forward if your dream of a little baby girl turns out to be reality
