Questions:

GTKY: since it’s holiday season, do you have any traditions that you do? (i.e get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.)

    EDD / Weeks + Days: February 18th / 29 weeks

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): acorn squash 

    Team blue/pink/green: team blue

    Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow (growth scan) and Thursday for my 3hr glucose test 

    How are you feeling?: feeling heavier. Also have this weird pain in my Achilles 

    Rants/Raves: my current rant is the job market sucks which has been putting stress onto me and my family. Outside of that, I am starting to get more excited for lil man to get here. Though we still don’t have a name and only a short list of possibilities.

    Questions: not at the moment 

    GTKY: since it’s holiday season, do you have any traditions that you do? (i.e get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.) not really. I used to setup my Christmas tree on the first day of December but I haven’t done that in a few years. My house doesn’t have much extra place for a tree. Not sure I’ll be doing a Christmas tree this year either.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 30+2, Feb 8

    FTM/STM/TTM+: 3

    Baby is the size of a (an): zucchini 

    Team blue/pink/green: blue 💙

    Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow with ob, and growth scan with mfm. It's a big day!

    How are you feeling?: so very tired

    Rants/Raves: I'm feeling ready! We have the essentials that we need, I'm exhausted. But when I look at my belly, I feel huge and still so small, at the same time. It's confusing.

    Questions:

    GTKY: since it’s holiday season, do you have any traditions that you do? (i.e get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.)

    We usually put the tree up right after Thanksgiving, but I started decorating early this year. Thanksgiving is an emotionally difficult holiday for me, so I needed a little joy.

    @karlee05 I was trying to decide if this is normal third trimester tired, or if something is off. I'll be asking my ob to check my levels tomorrow, too!

    @luckyduck42 Yes, you should. My hemoglobin was 10.9 and they want to see 11, so no big deal or cause for alarm. But I knew something wasn't right so I called and requested a full anemia panel.

    Just had my growth scan. Baby boy is in the 97%ile and we'll over 4 pounds, by their measurements. I'm proud of his growth, and worried at the same time.

    @karlee05 oh I feel your pain! I had this so bad 2 months ago. I’m now taking a separate iron pill 12 hours after my prenatal pill, and along with 2 vitamin c tablets to help the iron absorb. It took 4-5 weeks for my breathing to significantly improve. I can’t forget to take my supplements. Avoid calcium for 2 hours before and after taking your iron tablet as it won’t allow you to absorb it. Good luck.

    @pregnantinthepnw, Thank you for the tips! I did temporarily stop taking my iron tablet because it makes me feel sick, among other things. But I get my first iron infusion on Monday and really hoping it starts to make a difference!
