Due date:
4/9
Any appointments? Questions?
Christmas Eve
Rants/Raves?
This round ligament pain and pelvic girdle pain is becoming unbearable. If anyone has a recommendation on a good support belt/band I’d appreciate it. I definitely need to invest in one to get thru the next four months
How are you feeling?
Fighting a cold and praying it doesn’t turn into a sinus infection. Basically feeling run down and exhausted
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018?
Ahh I haven’t read a book since summer. Although I’ve been following Reese Witherspoon’s book club on Instagram and I’m liking her choices.
TV I’ve been binge watching reality tv on Hulu and Christmas movies on Halmark lol
Any appointments? Questions? I have a sonogram tomorrow (wednesday.) I'm super excited. I get to see my little one a lot more often because I see a high risk doctor too. Still feels like it's been forever since I've seen my little girl though.
Rants/Raves? I finally started seeing Addys kicks! I'm the only one who has seen it to so far so I'm sure everyone thinks I'm nuts but when she kicks or punches particularly hard, I can see my tummy jump. It was so strange but so freaking cool.
How are you feeling? I'm doing pretty decently. I'm starting to get hungrier which I really haven't noticed most of the pregnancy but I don't want to eat too much cuz being too full triggers my heartburn!
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018? Beat book has of course been "What to Expect When You're Expecting" haha but my favorite TV show has been "The Good Doctor". My young cousin who's autistic is basically like a little brother to me so anything shining light on people achieving greatness even on the spectrum is a must watch for us.Any appointments? Questions?
A midwife appointment yesterday. So good to hear the little guys heartbeat.
Rants/Raves?
Rant-Zika. I really wish we were going somewhere warm for Christmas. Last year we brought the kids to Puerto Vallarta and they swam in the ocean all week.
How are you feeling?
Frustrated with how much weight I am gaining. I forgot how much my body really has a mind of it’s own when Pg.
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018?
Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth. I read it every time I’m expecting, it’s so great and uplifting.
@phoenix92885 , I remember with my first son how completely weird and amazing it was to see the first kicks! Just wait til your whole stomach pulls an Alien-like roll, haha.
@elmich3 , what is pelvic girdle pain exactly? Because I think I may be feeling it too. My whole nether regions feels pretty sore/achy/weird after I've been standing for awhile. Almost like I have a tampon in uncomfortably or something. Ugh.
@catherineclaire78 , I have to get my hands on a copy! I've had multiple friends recommend Ina May's book.
@jlklec19 , two of my sisters are obsessed with Outlander. I haven't gotten into it yet, but I may have to after our latest Netflix binge.
Due date: April 10th
Any appointments? Questions? Just had my 24 week checkup this morning. I have one more four-week checkup and then they go down to every two weeks. Which means third trimester is right around the corner, ahhh!
Rants/Raves? Rant: Same old complaint about back/hip pain. I also forgot that newborn sleep deprivation/exhaustion starts during pregnancy, haha. I can't go a single night without waking up at least three times. Rave: Only two more days of work for me this week and then holiday vacation!
How are you feeling? Like an awkward blimp, I don't remember feeling this obviously "pregnant," til third tri last time. Between that, the holidays, the season, and other family stress, I've been having a hard time mentally.
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018?
Hmm... best book would have to be The Broken Earth series by N.K Jemisin. I love me some dystopian future world novels. Best TV show would probably be Vikings.
@kangstadt I am halfway through the first book of the Broken Earth series. It’s pretty fascinating!
Any appointments? Questions? Not until the new year!
Rants/Raves? Husband is doing nightly “cuddle sessions” with the baby. So cute. Last night he started talking about making her a Barbie Jeep with a gas powered motor, and she kicked, and now he’s convinced she’s gonna be a gear head like him haha!
For raves, I don’t know if anyone else feels like this, but I find it so annoying when someone asks how you’re feeling, and you say you feel big, and they respond with “you’re only going to get bigger! 😜.” And I’m like yes, thank you, I’ve actually met a pregnant woman before. I understand how this works believe it or not. Like, just let me complain...
How are you feeling? Large. I catch myself doing the waddle sometimes now after a long day...
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018? I read the Woman in the Window which was just incredible! Couldn’t put it down. I also recently read The Cactus which was a nice early pregnancy read (it’s about a type A, hyper pragmatic woman who finds herself pregnant). Work’s been insane lately, so I’ve been downloading audiobooks (which I can listen to in the car on the way to work). Thinking I’ll do Michelle Obama’s book next!
@HGRich I just finished the first 2 books this month! I started the series first, although I normally prefer reading before watching, but I really love both the show and books.
Due date: April 12
Any appointments? Questions? No OB apts, just acupuncture this week.
Rants/Raves? Loving feeling baby kick! But I can't see it yet and I keep looking at my stomach, which is when he/she doesn't actually do anything lol.
How are you feeling? Not too bad aside from burping a ton and major gas. Feeling pretty large as well. Still trying to work out at least a few times a week.
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018? Sadly I never read books anymore. TV.....the show "You" on Lifetime was actually really good. I also joined the "This is Us" bandwagon - a little behind, I realize - but it's fantastic.
Married 7/6/13
EDD 2/5/21
DD 4/19
Any appointments? Questions? 12/26 follow up ultrasound with mfm, ob appt and GD screening. Its a big day!
Rants/Raves? Just ready for a break! 1 1/2 days of school left I think I can I think I can!
How are you feeling? Pretty good but I am wearing down much faster.
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018? Hmm my favorite show right now is This is Us.
Any appointments? Questions? 24 week appointment and glucose test tomorrow. Those of you who’ve done this before - what would you recommend eating for breakfast? I want to make sure I’ve eaten a good meal in case I’m there all day, but I obviously can’t eat anything like pancakes or sugary cereal.
Rants/Raves? Getting REALLY tired of not sleeping, but enjoying the baby’s moves.
How are you feeling? Not great. I don’t have much of an appetite, and lack of sleep is making me irritable. Could be better, could be worse
GTKY: What is the best book you read and/or tv show you watched in 2018? I dropped the ball on reading this year, and it makes me sad. I honestly cannot think of any tv show I watched that was amazing and blew me away. I’m sure it’ll come to me and I’ll end up updating this!
@lilpotatomama, I haven't had my glucose test yet this time, but would oatmeal be appetizing for you? It's slower to digest at least and not as sugary as cereal (for most flavors at least...).
