Re: Group 3 Check-in (May 17-24) w/o 1/20
@jrouge12 I would say something like "oh that is so nice of you to think of us, maybe you could look at our registry and see what we are sure we need"
EDD/weeks+days: 22+1/5/24
@mamaj1220 I'm glad PT helped! My heartburn rollercoasters, so I hope you have some relief eventually. I'll try that line. I generally ask parents what they need if I don't know about a registry. Why can't everyone!?
Dance does have the most ridiculous outfits. I didn't even think of those! 😂
@mamaj1220 PT is the best. Glad it's been helping you!
Edit: trying to fix a tag
@mamaqdubu so sorry about the sickness! Hopefully you’re recovering today.
@lisush sorry for the new growth/bloating! Compression socks are great as we get closer and into the third trimester. And staying hydrated (a gallon per day) usually helps with swelling, too because it always your body to cleanse.

@mokay19 I hope the chiropractor brings you relief!
@lisush I'm glad the move is falling into place. You're right, everything is going to be okay!
EDD/ Weeks + days: 5/24, 22+3
@louessbee the velvet cowboy hat is the kicker for me... what a look!
@catem07 tell me more about the bike!! I admit I've been severely "influenced" by all the peleton "influencing" circulating recently, but just don't know if i'd use it/like it enough. Feel like i should invest in something cheaper, but i like the idea of the live workouts a lot and working out alongside people. I also, because of my pelvic floor issues, can't do a lot of other types of cardio and this seems like something i could do to the fullest extent with out causing major issues.
Spinning bikes in general are nice to have at home because they take up a small footprint, unlike a treadmill. I think Peloton bikes are overpriced given that you can get cheaper bikes that are just as high quality and don't require you to pay $40/mo for a streaming service.

@mamaqdubu Oh no! You just can’t seem to catch a break with the illnesses and injuries! I hope you feel better soon
@mamaj1220 Glad to hear your PT is having a positive impact!!! Also in the past year I’ve heard a few people say that apple juice helps them go, but even as a nurse who deals with a lot of poop issues, I had never considered apple juice as a constipation remedy...I usually suggest warm prune juice with a shot of milk of magnesia mixed in...we call it the bomb 😂 (To the tune of Ice Ice Baby) 🎵Got a poop problem, yo I’ll solve it🎵
@lisush I can’t even begin to imagine how stressful it is to relocate while pregnant. We’re here for you!
@mokay19 Nooooo!! How can a pregnant woman get through without ice cream?!? Lactase supplements and/or probiotics! Don’t let the dairy sensitivity get you down, must fight back! But as a fellow lactose-intolerant, I feel your pain.
@catem07 I applaud your exercise routine. Sorry to hear about the sleeping difficulties though. Maybe we should have a finance thread? It seems like having a(nother) kid is always a fiscal challenge no matter what your financial situation might be
@louessbee I hope you post pics in the ultrasound thread! That sounds like it will be a wonderful experience! I never used to like the look of 3D US but now that I’m pregnant with my own, I kind of want to see what baby’s face looks like
EDD/weeks+days: 23+2
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Grapefruit, but that seems small as far as lengthwise
Upcoming appointments: Fetal heart study 2/3
How are you feeling? Pretty good except the random sharp, shooting abdominal pains
Raves/Rants: I’m normally a “it’s fine” very little worries me kind of person but yesterday I didn’t feel baby move for a while and he wasn’t responding to things that normally get him going. I tried a frozen fruit pop, lying down, putting in my belly band. No movement. So I finally decided to call the doctor at 9:30 last night and he was just the covering on call but he was so kind and reassuring and I ended up going to the L&D triage. Literally as soon as they put the monitor on, baby was flipping out. He was kicking me so hard, I could see the gown popping up. Of course then the NP at the hospital made me feel like an idiot because, you know, they don’t care much about fetal movement until 28 weeks and your anterior placenta can mask movement. Yes I’m only 23 weeks but the random sharp pains coupled with my very active baby having no movement for a while made me anxious that, I don’t know maybe I was having an abruption or something? I’ve never been pregnant before. Sharp pain doesn’t seem like a good thing and I would have never forgiven myself had there actually been something wrong. She said it was probably “growing pains.” Anyway, we were in and out in just over an hour and reassured that baby is just fine.
Questions: Not that I can think of
GTKY: What’s the most ridiculous outfit you've ever worn? (Things you we're put in as a child count.) I can’t think of anything specific, I wore a lot of ridiculous outfits by choice. I was a master of mixing Polka dots and other patterns as a young child.

Sorry the triage nurse was a jerk. But glad everything is fine and that the on call doctor was helpful!
