Bonus GTKY: What has been the most surprising thing about this pregnancy so far?
Re: Pregnancy Related Updates/Questions- week of 3/28
Have any 2nd+ time moms ever delivered vaginally with a subchronic hematoma? I have one and it hasn't reabsorbed yet and I'm almost 33 weeks. I just would really like to have him naturally like I did my 3 girls.
Most surprising this time around is how sick I was for the 1st half and then how quickly the 2nd half is passing!
your question but wanted to add another.
You can also look online for stretches you can do to help encourage baby to flip.
I’m 32 weeks today, and the last couple of weeks have been a lot tougher… lots of heartburn and shortness of breath. It’s getting tough to sleep at night. Baby boy is still very much upright. Hopefully he figures that out soon, otherwise I will also be looking up the spinning babies resources. He is quite happy in there though, lots of moving around and kicking feet.
I have to get my tdap shot still… hopefully I can do that today. And my next appt is next week. I’ve been going every other week since 28 weeks.
Oh, they also did an extra ultrasound last week, and I have another at 36 weeks. Because I had covid in January, I guess they want to make sure everything is ok (so far it is). I know quite a few of us had covid in Jan/Feb… Anyone else have these extra appts?
I have extra appts too, but they're due to size rather than COVID. I am a fan of doctors appts though, so I never mind having them
booster in 1st tri. I elected not to get it for the same reasons you said. Plus I got covid while pregnant so at least the baby has antibodies 🤷🏼♀️
I had heard too many horror stories about how hard covid was hitting pregnant women and felt comfortable enough getting it.
I think having all 3 doses helped me avoid catching it when one of my of my kiddos had it.
