I have noticed this board go virtually silent since the main group has moved to FB. I’d like to see who’s left, maybe get to know you all more, and have open discussions like this board is meant for! I haven’t been very active, but I would like to be

How far along are you?
26 + 2
Due date?
10/21
Upcoming appointments?
7/20 for 3 hour glucose test because my 1 hour test came back elevated
Rant/rave?
Rant: I am SO not looking forward for the 3 hour glucose test
Rave: We finally started getting nursery furniture in and I am so excited! Though we will need to move before we can set anything up, as the second bedroom is not suitable for a baby (there is NO vent or anything. Like what???)
Questions?
None that come to mind!
29 weeks
Due 10/3 but having a medically necessary c section 9/26
Tdap vaccine coming up
Rant/rave: I pee about a million times a day. It's starting to drive me crazy. On the bright side, we just installed our carseat and it's got me all excited 🤗
Questions: can't think of any
I introduced myself a long while back but then failed to keep up. I did want to join back in but felt it was too late. But since we are kind of starting over id like to join in.

Rant/rave?
none at this time
@poppyseed314 i hear you on the pee! Its just constant. I feel like i spend half the day in the bathroom.
Due date?
Upcoming appointments? Monday!! Regular checkup and picking up the DRINK 🧟♀️ for the glucose test.
Rant/rave? I am a STM and am definitely bumpin’ it way sooner than last time! My bump is so huge I’m afraid I have GD, but I hear you are always “bigger” the second time around, so I’m trying to relax 🙂.
Questions? None at the moment
@nasah15 Welcome back! I introduced myself and posted a handful of times, but already at that point it seemed like an "inner circle" had formed, so it felt difficult to just pop in. Congrats on your IVF baby! That is so exciting. We had tried for a year and a half and saw a fertility specialist only to get pregnant a few weeks later. My husband and I were seriously considering IVF if we needed to. And thank you! I've got my fingers crossed I pass this test. The one hour test came back with 146 and I think 140 is the cutoff.
YES YES YES on the peeing. My husband and I have one bathroom and it's driving me insane
@cristi_clear Welcome! The drink wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it gave me the WORST heartburn. I'm bracing myself to not be able to take any tums for 3 full hours this time haha. And oh yea that's totally fine I feel! I am a FTM so I have all these expectations of what I want, but I know that we will get it all figured out eventually
Anywho!
How far along are you? 27 weeks 1 day
Due date? 10/17
Upcoming appointments? My next appointment is tomorrow! Just a check up. I had my glucose test 2 weeks ago. It was so different from when I had my son 12 years ago. Back when I had him it was 2 or 3 hours and you couldn't eat prior to it (I felt AWFUL). Got my results back already for this one, and I'm in the clear (woo!).
Rant/rave? My rant? Hmm. I guess that my upper back has been bothering me quite a bit. Rave? How much easier the glucose test is now, haha.
Questions? None at the moment.
Due date? 10/7
Upcoming appointments? 7/29
Rant/rave? Now that I’ve hit third trimester, I feel like that first tri fatigue is returning. I’ve been so tired once I get home from work. Baby boy must be growing!!
Questions? none currently
@amandarenee89 I want to be more active than I have been just because I think it’s nice to have support, but I completely understand. Just do what you’re comfortable with, I promise from the sounds of who is left, there will be no alienation due to lack of activity
There was never any alienation. Everyone is welcome to participate in the forum.

@brittscasale Thank you!
Due date?
Upcoming appointments?
Go every 2 weeks now. Ultrasound in 2 weeks!
Rant/rave?
26 weeks today, first timer
Due 10/28
Level 2 ultrasound scheduled in two weeks
Rant is that my husband tested positive for Covid (I’ll post details in that thread) and Rave is the relief of finally ordering the nursery furniture!
The only question I have right now is if anyone can offer advice regarding an abnormal cord insertion. I’m seeing a specialist soon, but my OB did not provide much info. I hate to worry when there’s nothing I can do about it. So far I was only told that the cord is on the edge of placenta instead of the middle.
How far along are you? 25+ 5
Due date? Oct 30
Upcoming appointments? Aug 11 will be my last4 week appt. And I have to schedule my glucose test.
Rant/rave? Rant: I took a glucose test early in pregnancy cause of my weight and I passed with flying colors and she said I wouldn't need another one. But I do need my normal one at 28 weeks it's not that bad just trusting I guess. Rave: because of my pregnancy and covid I've been sent home from work for the last 5 months (still getting paid) and have had so much time with my hubby and kids even if covid is a downer I lo vfc e the exte time.
Oh no! Were you tested as well? My hubby is a counselor and a kid he works with is being tested... crossing our fingers they come back negative!
@soon_to_be_3 All good! I’m definitely not super active, but would like to keep these updates going as long as there is interest in them!
Thats good that you’re able to work from home! I’ve been working from home for about 4 months at this point. My house is small and I’m set up right smack in the middle of it while hubby gets the only spare room in the house. I can’t wait for all this to be over, but who knows when at this point!!

Check up and glucose test on Wednesday
Rant/rave?
Work is finally calming down, I've been working 78hrs a weeks for the last 2 months and I'm very over it (why I've disappeared off here lately). 1 more week of this then freeeeee. At least back to a normal 40hrs a week, which will feel like a vacation haha.
Glad there are still some ladies around here!
Questions?
None right now
How far along are you? I will be 30 weeks on Thursday
Got another ultrasound today. We're 29 +2, but baby is measuring 28 +4. 2lbs 11oz. Going to be a little guy. All is well. Just wanted to share
