Re: Wednesday Ticker Nov. 28
2. How are you feeling? - Good but tired. I napped all of yesterday and slept all night, but I still can’t seem to wake up.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? - I need coffee, but I have my GD test today and they told me no caffeine. I had decaf, but it’s not the same!
4. Any appts this week? - Regular OB and GD test today.
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? - Struggles: The two big ones are back pain and shortness of breath. The back pain is almost gone, but I’m scared it’ll come back if I do too much stuff so I’m taking it easy. Shortness of breath is awful! Joys: My skin has never been better! I’ve struggled with acne and oily skin since I was a teenager, and it’s totally clear right now which never happens. And so smooth! I wish I could keep this skin forever, but I know it’ll go back after birth.
29 weeks tomorrow.
2. How are you feeling?
hungry, and lots of back pain. plenty of baby kicks.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
tired of work maternity clothes, just want to wear leggings all the time.
4. Any appts this week?
none
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?
struggles: back pain, wanting more time to relax and rest that I don't have because either I'm working or trying to take care of my toddler. Joys: the few times I have been able to work on the nursery, piece by piece it's coming together. I'm hoping that by Christmas it will be all done.
30 weeks! Zucchini. I'm not ready.
2. How are you feeling?
Stomach and hip soreness really putting a damper on things. Also just generally being too big to function normally lol
3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Neh.
4. Any appts this week?
Nope.
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?
My struggle is pain. I'm so tired of having to move around pain. My joy is just being excited to meet our baby.
30 weeks - Zucchini
2. How are you feeling?
Back hurts still. I am trying to squat down instead of bending over, and tightening my core while standing/walking. I think it helps a little when I remember to do it!
3. Rants/Raves/Questions?
How do I only have 10 weeks left?? There is still so much getting ready to do!
4. Any appts this week?
Yup, regular OB tomorrow
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?
Struggling with back pain and getting shoes on, and for some reason I've woken up at 2am the past two nights and had trouble getting back to sleep. Also I still wake up on my back a lot and it makes me worry about the baby until I feel him move.
Joys: We are hopefully going to start putting together the nursery this weekend! I've got 2 more baby showers to look forward to! I'm excited about the holidays! I feel baby move a lot and I can't wait to see his cute lil face and hold him in my arms!
2. How are you feeling? Overall, not great. Lots of HB, having a hard time sleeping, and started getting a TON of swelling in the last few days. I gained 6 lbs in 4 days, which has to be fluid retention since I am not eating any more than I have been. My calves hurt so bad, I started getting worried about pre-e, so I had my work nurse take my blood pressure and luckily its normal.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? See above for my rant. Anyone else dealing with sudden swelling?
4. Any appts this week? I have my 28 week on friday, and I'm glad to go in an ask about this swelling. Hopefully my blood pressure stays normal and no protein in my urine. Also def want to pass the GD test!
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? I think I have complained enough above, but for pregnancy joys, I love feeling the baby kick. I am also excited for the holidays, since the last three years were really hard to be around families while dealing with inferttility.

5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?
Struggles: Bending over to reach the floor or my feet haha, my husband tied my shoe for me last night in the grocery store.
Joys: feeling baby move, husband talking to the baby, thinking about events, holidays, trips next year with baby in tow
1. How many weeks? How big is baby? 30 weeks. Zucchini sized - which seems smaller than some of the previous weeks’ comparisons. Maybe I just tend to get puny zucchini, lol.
2. How are you feeling? Very pregnant. Overall I really feel ok, baby’s position seems to be changing constantly still and has a big impact on how comfortable I am each day.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Still feeling out this gestational diabetes diagnosis. My blood sugar seems fine with everything I eat, even super carby sugary things, so I dunno.
4. Any appts this week? None this week, but a couple next week - regular OB and dietician.
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys? Struggles: I’ve just been so tired this pregnancy, but my sleep has been lousy. Wish I could have spent this time getting lots of awesome rest before baby comes, but alas. Joys: Just started sorting through DD’s old stuff to get the dresser stocked for baby sister’s arrival. It’s been fun/emotional seeing all the old outfits again. So many memories. We’re not going crazy with decorating the baby’s room this time, but I’m still enjoying getting little touches to make the room nice and cozy.
2. How are you feeling? Big and dealing with low back pain and sciatica. I've booked an appointment with a highly recommended perinatal chiropractor covered by my insurance and I am stoked! I've been wanting to get a chiropractor since DS, especially during the postpartum period but was too lazy to set it up. Finally, DH took my complaining to heart and made an appointment for me.
3. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave is DH making a chiropractor appointment for me after years of complaining.
4. Any appts this week? Not for a few weeks.
5. What are your current pregnant lady struggles and your current pregnant lady joys?
Struggles: I've got 12 weeks left of this mess.
Joys: I get a precious baby girl to meet!
