Re: WO 9th September Check In
Next week I've got a appointment with my consultant because of the 3rd degree tear I got during my VBAC. So they will do a scan (lucky me 🥴) to see how it's healed, I had one at 3m post partum and it was fine then. Then we'll discuss my birth plans and hopefully they will be supportive of me having another VBAC.
Rant- Spinning Babies is a really hard to navigate site so in my last bump group I made a document with a site map, all the topics with the links to the pages. I can post it on here if anyone is interested.
rave: my husband finally scheduled his vasectomy! No more babies!!! Him putting off getting one is why I’m here in the first place, ha.

My next apt is 9/23
I am still having a lot of hip pain that makes it hard to sleep, so I’m feeling tired and I’m hurting most days.
Rant: My digestive system has been way out of whack this week and I really only want to eat bland foods like toast. That doesn’t work with gestational diabetes where I’m supposed to be doing a high protein, low carb diet. I can be very hungry and also not want to eat anything at the same time and that is not the best.
We registered for virtual prenatal classes for the end of the month. I feel like I've done so much research that I'm more excited for my husband to learn all the things lol.
rave: I think I'm done with getting everything for baby. I just have to wash his clothes, bedding etc. which I want to do NOW so I can put everything back. lol. I'm getting some boxes of clothes from my sister this weekend that I get to sort through. I've started the countdown to my Maternity leave as well, and only have 34 working days left!! (technically I'm doing two-ish weeks of pto and then starting my maternity leave)

Upcoming Appointments: Last week had our second MFM to do growth scans. Next week have OB for non-stress tests. (I typically do monthly US bc twins- do you get US when you do NST too? Have a dinner reservation and was curious if we needed to push it back if both…)
How are you feeling?: Tired all the time. I sleep in 60-90 min intervals due to uncomfort and needing to flip/rearrange masses of pillows. But pretty happy that is is worst thing.
Rants/Raves:
• 90% of my maternity clothes are either hand me downs from sis in law or from FB marketplace, and they are not meant for fall. I am loving this weather we are having- but work won’t allow leggings and while I have hand me down jeans- whew those are not great for traveling in car and the squat position to work with little kids. I don’t plan on having more kids; and maternity clothes are insanely price hiked, so my outfits are getting more and more unique.
• Started new job this school year and they threw me a surprise shower. I was not expecting it and while I hate surprises- very touched.
• Gifted some hand me down premie diapers/ outfits (just in case) which helped because I think we had one outfit each since I didn’t want to purchase them and throw anything out in universe
• One my pals is recently pregnant too (she not telling folks yet stage) but I am sooooo excited to have instant friend for my kids
• Got called in for Jury Duty on my dd haha let’s postpone that one, and was super easy
• People are so ridiculously nice to HUGE pregnant people. Sometimes I worry about bringing kids into this world so it has really helped with that mindset; most people are good!
• Had to return gifted twin bassinet because it was 100% used, lots of dog hair stuck in pieces, missing a piece, and could see ‘kid usage’. The DH finally returned it yesterday after weeks of this giant box in living room

Maybe based on movement I would say baby is head down right now, but I'm not at all sure. I have a midwife appt this week, so I'd like to chat with her this week about positioning and stuff, how to tell what's what and get a good idea of what feels like what.... Lol
I've finally finished working, and am happy to have the next 8 weeks (🤞) to rest and nest. But I will say it was quite empowering to continue physically working such a demanding job into my 32nd week.
Happy and healthy homestretch everyone!!!
I honestly think of you when I'm at my desk job and done with the day by 11 am. lol.
