Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: November 5th! so many of us - what are the odds? 😆
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: so far away in June....
How are you feeling?: Just kind of stressed about things, but trying to stay calm.
Rants/Raves: I finally got some shorts that will work now and pp and am happy about it. They are all from backcountry.
Questions: It takes about 2 months... Faster if you do more training classes with them. We did at least 3 different ones. We even trained our dog to ring a bell to go out, which was pretty nifty.
Upcoming Appointments or Results: Just had an appt yesterday, first one with NO blood drawn! Yay! Anatomy scan is scheduled for June 28th.
How are you feeling?: Most days I feel pretty good. The last few days have been quite hot and I don't seem to tolerate heat very well.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I have really been craving spicy food lately but I am already getting really bad heartburn if I eat it. Rave - Just finished a really good book, Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young.
Upcoming Appointments or Results: anatomy ultrasound in 2 weeks along with OB appt
How are you feeling?: I feel great except that heartburn seems to get worse as everything is getting pushed up.
Rants/Raves: My bump looks now more like pregnancy and less like I had a huge meal, so that tickles me everytime I pass by a mirror. I'm getting more comments too though, which mostly seem to be lovely congratulations, horrifying stories of pregnancy or annoying pieces of inaccurate medical advice.
Questions: I've yet to have a specific food craving. If anything, I'm less hungry than I was the first trimester. When can I expect to want the pickles with ice cream?
@lgbtqmommy Some people never get the crazy cravings. I don't tend to crave weird combinations.
@manamo777 I (sort of) started thinking about my birth plan. I had an emergency c-section my first pregnancy, so I've talked with my OB about aiming for a VBAC. She supports it, however, she recommended not inducing, so we'll be scheduling a C-section for just after my due date. If I go into labor naturally beforehand, I get to try for my VBAC. If this one is stubborn like my last (41 weeks and no dilation/didn't drop/no effacement), we'll move forward with the C-section.
