How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

OK so how are all you not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'll start
I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm about to start my 27th week and my 3rd trimester!

I get pretty tired in the afternoons and have started having leg cramps at night. I haven't been sleeping well because I can't get comfortable most of the time.

I had my 1hr. glucose test on Wed. and still dont know the results...but hoping I passed!

ETA: I forgot to add that Im having water retention too - my ankels are pretty swollen at the end of the day and so are my fingers (rings are real tight).

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm 29 weeks and I also feel good for most of the day. I do notice that I get very uncomfortable around 2:30/3:00 at work because I sit at my desk all day. Other than that everything has been good and I can not believe how fast the pregnancy is going.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am in week 38......and trying to keep my 17 month old daughter entertained....I am completely exhausted!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm feeling ok

I just started my 21st week. Still feeling tired and out of breath after climbing stairs, but otherwise ok. Getting bad back pains, up in my right shoulder and also ciatica.

Had another sonogram today, baby is looking good, despite having SUA (single umbilical artery). Doctor said he is growing at the normal rate and he should be fine. Still has me stressed, tho please keep us in your prayers

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm 23 weeks... doing OK overall... but I just started to see a chiropractor who specializes in pregant women for my really really bad back. I'm hoping she'll be able to help me some because I don't know if I can stay in the pain I'm in for another 4 months

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am at 30w 5d
I feel okay most of the time. I do get quite tired around this time at work. I constantly have to get up and walk around so that I don't feel too much pressure down there from sitting down all day.
I failed my 1hr glucose test, took the 3 hr one and will get the results of that tomorrow. I hope to have passed!
I am uncomfortable at night. I flip and turn all night long because my sides get tired from the weight of the big belly.
I can't wait to stop working, the commute is a killer. I am hoping to get off from work 4 wks before my due date.
And, I also can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm 21 weeks tomorrow and feeling pretty good. Went to the doc last night and found out I have a low lying placenta. The doc didn't seem too worried. I get to have another sonogram at 28 weeks to make sure the placenta has risen.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am going to be 30 weeks next week. I still can't believe it! Other than heartburn, I am doing pretty well. I feel like I am getting bigger and bigger every day! It just hit me that I have 10 1/2 weeks until I am due! I definitely have been more emotional lately. But overall, pretty good!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm 32 weeks and I am feeling okay, just REALLY tired and the heartburn has been a killer lately. I took off today because I have been exhausted and I slept until 12:00, which is sooooooo unlike me. I am looking forward to ending work, mid-March.

My belly has really taken off now, every week I get bigger. Oh, and I have been starting a get a leg cramps at night also, not fun. But on a happy note, my sciatica pain has disappeared, let's
just hope it doesn't make a guest re-apperance . Baby Girl has also been moving up, making me very short of breath. I go for my last sono Tuesday, I can't wait to see how big she is!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I've just started my 22 week - can't believe I'm more than halfway there!

I'm doing pretty well. I've been blessed with an easy pregnancy. We had our level 2 sono earlier this week - got to see our little gymnast jumping around. We chose not to find out the sex, but I've been studying the video...

I'm looking obviously pregnant now, and depending on what I'm wearing people ask me how far along I am, etc - which is fun.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am 27 weeks, and hanging in there. I am on partial bedrest, only allowed to work 20 hours a week. I started the partial BR on wednesday and I already feel less pressure and less stressed from work. The meds seem to be working cause I hardly get contractions at all anymore.

Otherwise, I am sleeping pretty good, except for the congestion and nosebleeds, no backaches, leg cramps. OTher than the bed rest and meds I feel pretty good.

ETA: I passed my 1 hour glucose test at least!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm just about 26 week and doing wonderfully, especially with an active 21 month old! I had my glucose test this morning and I'll find out the results next week.

I ordered bedding for her nursery, as well as new bedding for andrew's big boy room. I can't wait for it all to come together.

My next appointment is in 4 weeks and I will have another sono then, to measure growth. Can't wait!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I'm 22 weeks now and feeling pretty good. I do get tired much more easily, and I have the leg cramp thing going on too. But my little has been moving like crazy, and it's awesome to feel. DH hasn't felt him yet, I can't wait for that.

I am getting a little more anxious as the weeks go by, but I guess that's just nerves.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

Almost 35 weeks, feeling good, a little uncomfortable at times but not unbearable. Heartburn is getting worse, but other than that, can't really complain!
Only 5 more weeks until I'm due!!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

oops!

Mrs. J I didn't mean anything by the post

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I just started my 24th week and it's not easy being pregnant. I get tired late afternoons and when I get home my feet are swollen. My fingers are also swollen that I can't even wear my wedding ring anymore. I am always tossing and turning every night so I don't get a good night sleep. Sometimes I have lower back pains and when I do, I can't hardly walk. But I do know, this is all worth it.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

35 weeks and starting to get some fun water retention other than that and getting a little short of breath... I'm hanging in. Wish I was done with work but you can't have everything!

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am 38 weeks - feelings pretty well - although having lots of pressure and soreness down below. The baby is dropping and is in position - and has been very active!
The nights are hard because I am up and making frequent trips to the bathroom - and im constantly trying to get comfortable - tossing and turning throughout the night. I've been home since Monday and enjoying it so far - just anxiously waiting for the little one to arrive.

Re: How are all the not-so-newly PG girls doing?

I am entering 24 weeks (6 months yeah) and I am feeling good. My only issue is swelling in my legs and feet, my rings are getting tight too. I don't even recognize my legs anymore
