Check in!!!!!

Since this board has been sooo slow...

Today i am 29 weeks and 3 days.... Lots of pressure and movement going on lately...hormones are still out of control, and the sciatic pain is still literally a pain in the a$$... Other than that feeling great... my next apt. is 8/16 and then I start going every 2 weeks... totally ecited for that

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am 28 Weeks & 1 Day.....Lots of kicking & the constant feeling of having to pee is getting just plain crazy. I mean I pee leave the bathroom take about 5 steps turn around & pee again. The heat has been kicking my arse. I try to take Patrick to things early in the morning. And be home by at least 2pm & then I find myself totally drained. But, I have been resting.

I was at the Doctors on Tuesday took the glucose test & had a sonogram. Everything looks great my cervix is lovely & long (which they constantly tell me & I finally had to say "what the hell does that mean" Turns out it just means that it looks like no labor any time soon. THANK-GOD!!) The doctor asked if I wanted to hear the heartbeats which I said of course. They sound great! I go again in 2 weeks for another sonogram & check up. (Apparently I will be getting sonograms every time I go...not that I mind)

Re: Check in!!!!!

33 weeks - exhaustion is back in full force these last 2 days. I am STARVING all the time now - I eat and 10 minutes later it's like I haven't eaten for 6 days I've been very clumsy lately - falling 2x and walking into things...but other than that I feel fabulous and can not wait to meet my little belly frog!

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am 29w1d...I have a Dr appointment 8/19 (with the nurse practitioner again...the Dr is on vacation again he was on vaca this week too...) I already started going every 2 weeks. I feel ok...still have to take it easy though. DH and I are going to start clearing out the baby's room so we can get it painted..YEAH!!!! I can't wait!!!! (not that I want to clean out the room..lol but the decorating part)

This gestational diabetes diet is a big pain in the a$$ I feel like I am eating the same stuff every day...

October can not come FAST ENOUGH!!!!!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

I'm 37 weeks and 4 days...feeling ok...can't sleep very good, Acid Reflux in full force at night and having trouble turning over...

My blood pressure has leveled out with bed rest although my ankles/legs are still a wreck!

I can't wait to meet this baby and hope everyday that's it's my day I'd really like to have the baby a little early since I am very uncomfortable...

I AM DYING TO KNOW IF IT'S A BOY OR GIRL!!! My FIL thinks a boy and my MIL thinks girl. They are both so sure of themselves it's funny. My DH thinks its a girl too. Won't he be surprised if it turns out to be a boy??

Re: Check in!!!!!

37 weeks, 3 days, feeling like crap!!! Getting bloated, so I think this may be a good sign sinc this is what happens when I am close to delivery. I'm thinking this week sometime, I'm going to beg my doc to help me speed up the process when he does an internal. Not lseeping, irritable, leg cramps, lots of braxton hicks. I'm already 30% effaced and a finger tip dialated as per last week's doc visit, I hope we have progressed even more after tomorrow's visit!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

18 weeks 4 days...still not feeling PG really besides the big ol' belly. I felt like I had a nervous stomach a week or 2 ago and some think it was the baby fluttering, btu I have not felt it recently. I do get some wierd pains, some feel like muscle stretching, others feel like pinching.

I've been overly emotional the last 2 weeks and cranky. Also having trouble sleeping through the night.

Re: Check in!!!!!

22 weeks here. I am so tired all the time, and I am going to the bathroom every 5 minutes, too.

I am feeling movement a lot, but nothing from the outside yet.

Steph - what do YOU think it is?

Re: Check in!!!!!

Just about 34 weeks and I go from feeling OK to being miserable. I just feel soooo heavy and I was heavy to begin with. Sleeping is uncomfortable and I wake up every 2 hours to pee then stuggle to get comfortable all over again. I find I get tired/worn out really easily as well. And nausea comes and goes like in the first tri, just not as bad.
Work STINKS!! I'm a pharmacist so I am on my feet 8 hours a day. Luckily I get to sit some in between our busy times but with my drive to work and back and my work day I have a 10-11 hour day and it's really getting to me.
I pray I go early once I hit 37 weeks but I am sure I have jinxed myself and that won't happen.

Re: Check in!!!!!

20weeks 1 day here, goin for my level II tomorrow, feeling okay physically. My tailbone is starting to hurt alot lately, sleeping is fine for me other than my frequent trips to the bathroom. Work blows for me too as I am on my feet for 8 hours, but I too try to sit in between my patients. I'm cranky as hell, snapping at everyone, but other than that, JUST PEACHY!!!! I'm starting to get nervous and anxious about how I'm gonna get this baby OUT!!!! The bigger i get, the more scared i'm getting...

Re: Check in!!!!!

26 weeks and 2 days!! I'm feeling ok...the heat is really getting to me, my feet get so swollen and so do my hands. I can't even make a full fist with my hands, they're so swollen.

I have to go for my glucose test within the next 2 weeks and then my next doctor's appt is 8/25.

I can't sleep through the night...I toss and turn and wake up it seems like every hour. I pee all day...

Feeling lots of movement and even one time this weekend, I had my arm on my belly and the baby kicked so hard, my arm actually moved!!!!!!!! It was funny!!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

Somewhere between 33 and 34 weeks... up until this past weekend I was feeling great! Lots of energy, no sickness, still able to move around quite well But we had a little scare at L&D this weekend in which we discovered I was contracting every 2 minutes and the Dr.'s had some difficulty eliminating the contractions. NOW, I'm absolutely paranoid that I"m going to go into labor at any minute and have no clue

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am 36 weeks. I could have replied to this post at oh, 1am, 2am, 3am...you get the idea! Sleep is very tough with the back pain, hip pain, baby's constant movement and the bathroom runs!! Otherwise, during the daytime, I feel great (except when I attempt to rise from a reclined position )

My dr's appt is tomorrow. I will have the first internal and see what's happening down below!

Had my shower on Saturday. OK, freaking the HELL out now!!! Why do I suddenly have 15 blankets and 30 bibs in my possession??? I feel there's so much to do, I don't know what the heck I'm doing, and there's no time to do it in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am 31 weeks and 1 day.

I have to admit that over the past few days I've felt a bit BETTER then I was before. I've been completely staying out of the heat. My airconditioned bedroom is my newest hiding place, and I alternate that with the pool. The week before I was bad with my sciatic pain, headaches, nausea, and overall tiredness.

The baby kicks CONSTANTLY! The other day I got home after babysitting out east for my brother's baby for about 13 hours, and my husband was talking to my belly and everytime he said "HI Baby!" we got a huge kick. It sent my husbands arm flying off of my belly. It was so exciting. I told him the baby must have been excited to hear his voice after not seeing him all day.

My next dr's appt is on 8/15, and I have a followup with the nutritionist for my GD on 8/18. I am also getting tired of eating the same thing all of the time! I'm trying to give myself some variety with the 1/2 cup of ice cream the nutritionist said I can have at night before bedtime. If I didn't have that "treat" to look forward to I'd probably be cheating like crazy!

Hubby and I are still trying to decide on middle names if it's a girl. Decisions decisions!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

Re: Check in!!!!!

16 weeks 6 days. Feeling the best I have felt this whole pregnancy besides being kind of emotional. Just went to the Dr. today and heard the heartbeat and in 3 weeks I go for my Level 2!! I can't wait to find out- the suspense is killing me!

Re: Check in!!!!!

this friday I will be at the 12th week mark! So far morning sickness has been he!l . I am starting to feel a bit more like myself now. I can't wait to get past this stage!

Tomorrow I am going maternity clothes shopping for the first time. My fat clothes don't fit me- I've actually lost weight due to m/s! It's all shifting to my belly!

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am 26 weeks and 3 days. I have been feeling good. Last week one day I had a headache and sometimes I feel pain in the sciatica.

Kind of tired when I walk too long or when I have to go up on any stairs.

On the 19th I am going for my glucose test.

Re: Check in!!!!!

I am at 29 weeks, the peeing thing is out of control! I have heartburn like crazy at night, I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in. I am extremely emotional at times, and the heat is killing me!!!!!!! The babies are very active and getting stronger everyday, this I can tell by the powerful kicks! I go for a growth sonogram on Thursday, so I can't wait to see them again. Overall though - I feel this pregnancy is going fast, and this uncomfortable stuff will pass (I hope!).

Re: Check in!!!!!

37 weeks and bloated as ever. I still don't sleep the baby is going crazy when i lay down. She feels the need to remind me that she is still there. I can not wait to have her in my arms. I go to the hospital on thruseday for a level 2 sono to see if she has put on any weight. My last 2 apt. she only weighed in at 4lbs 10 oz so the doctor wants to see if she is growing. If not they may take her on thurseday. If she is putting on weight they will wait until the 21 when i am set up for a planned c-section. Hope all of you are doing well.
