May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I had an appointment last week and the baby is in full birthing position and I hope she stays that way! She measures 2.12 pounds and is in the 53%tile as of 27 weeks.

I'm feeling OK, just starting to get REALLY tired and barely making it through a work day. I also am starting to swell some more and the heartburn is a KILLER still!


How are you doing?

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

due 5/4 - 32w3d today

baby is measuring a little over 4lbs now and he is constantly moving, breathing, hiccuping (making his prescence known!!)

He is head down and anterior, good boy! ha

my shower is TOMORROW and his room is almost ready! It should be mostly complete by this weekend.

im feeling OK, getting tired and its getting harder to get comfortable. Sleep is hit or miss. I have some really good nights and some OK nights but I havent really been waking to pee frequently like I thought I would be.

My OB is estimating a 7-7.5 lb baby

Weight gain is 13 lbs (lost 1 over the last week)

Feel good May Mamas!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I am due for a scheduled c-section on 5/4

Baby is breech as of last appointment- but the doctor is not concerned since I am having the c-section anyway.
Heartburn is pretty bad- taking tums and zantac 75 when it really acts up.

Very very tired- the 1st trimester pregnancy sandman seems to have returned for the 3rd trimester.

I think the baby was estimated to weigh around 3 pounds.

GL to everyone- we are getting close!!!!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

BUMP, common may mamas!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

30 wks had a scare this weekend did too much work around the house ended up in L& D with preterm labor but they have it under control I have to go for a sonogram wed. and start to see a high risk dr. since my cervix is too soft for 30 wks.

Today is my work shower and my co-worker slipped and told me she receive my shower invitations so I know its coming up even though I have no clue what the day of it will be.

My little ones room is no where near ready so I shall see how this all pans out.

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hi ladies,

I'm 30w3days...had a growth sono this week and the baby is estimated at 4lbs 1oz, i lil big so they want to see me again in 4 weeks to check oh him. I take it with a grain of salt bc my first DS was estimated to weigh 9lbs 5oz and he came out 7lbs9oz being 3 days overdue.

Baby is moving A LOT! always at bedtime...so sleep is not great. Heartburn reared it ugly head...Having lots of round ligament pain but trying to make it everyday.

The Sprinkle is in the works...my cuz is handling the details.

Can't wait to meet him...so close!

GL Ladies I hope you are all feeling good!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I'm 29 weeks. No growth sonos yet, so I have no idea how much the baby weighs or what position he/she is in. Right now, I think the baby is sideways most of the time. I really can't tell though.

Starting to get a bit more tired in the afternoon. I'm also getting more aches down my side when I'm sitting on the couch. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get much worse than this, but I'm not overly optimistic.

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I'm 30 weeks, feeling good but heartburn continues to be the worst part. It is almost everyday and doesn't matter what I eat.
Last week had bio physical & NST. Baby was estimated to weight 3 lbs. 4 ounces and is head down. He is almost always moving around in there...sometimes it feels like tickles and other times good kicks!
Monday I go again for another bio physical & NST and will continue to go every week until the end. I'm swollen but my dr. says I'm not so bad, but my feet hurt when I wake up in the morning and sometimes my hands are numb. I'm really getting sick of my maternity clothes and need to get a few new things this weekend. Baby's room is coming along but far from done. Shower is scheduled for April 11th!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hi Ladies...although i am having a scheduled c on 4/22, im still a may mommie at heart...im 31w6d. is measuring 4.0 and is measuring 4.4 (which i think is wrong cause then she would have gained 1.2 in 1 week!!). As for sleeping, some good nights, some bad nights...really uncomfortable and my heartburn is off the charts! As for being tired, im not that bad, although i am in bed rest so i sit in bed all day long anyway...and these babies are moving around like lunitics. It never stops!!! 40 days to go (if i make it till then!)

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I'll be 30 weeks as of Monday (due 5/24) and I'm going to the doctor for my monthly appointment. They don't do sonograms there unfortunately and I'm not sure if they'll prescribe one for me (I'm guessing yes?) So...I don't know the baby's size or anything or what position he is in.

Otherwise I feel great though work is draining the life out of me. I work way too much. I really have to bring to my doctor's attention how much fieldwork (subways/buses/walking/home visits) i"m doing around Brooklyn and see what he says.

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hi May Mommies :)

I am going on 30 weeks now!

Having some good days, some bad, feeling like a rollercoaster ride lately with my emotions!!

Sleep is definitely hit or miss, mostly miss

I am hoping to get another spurt of energy because I have SOO much to do in only 10 weeks...

My shower is next Saturday, I can't wait

Heartburn is out of control!!!!! I have tried 4 different prescriptions and none have really helped. No matter if I eat or not I have it, lol.

I am sounding like a debbie downer but I am ELATED at the thought of meeting my little man All of this x10 is worth it and I know I am gonna miss being pregnant

Glad to hear your all doing well, time is really flying by!!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

i'm 30 weeks also and had another growth sono yesterday. is about 3 lbs. (33%tile), which is way bigger than DD1 ever was! She is head down and I hope she stays that way! I get tired and out of breath, BHs, sore feet, etc. Heartburn isn't so bad this time and no linea negra either. I'm only up 13 lbs. so that is fine too. We're working on DD1's big girl room b/c DD2 will get the nursery as is. The big girl furniture came today and I just love it! I think I'm dragging the family to Home Goods this afternoon!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

I'm 33 weeks today! I had a growth sonogram on Thursday. The baby is estimated to be about 4 3/4 lbs, but he didn't say percentile. I asked about the head and he said it is at least average, lol! I feel good still, no trouble sleeping, but I am definitely more uncomfortable at night. I have a NST in 2 weeks. Heartbeat was 150...He said baby should be about 7 lbs.

My shower is next Sunday!! DH is working on the baby's room. He did the stripes and will hopefully get the chair rail up this week. Then we are getting the carpet cleaned and will probably get the furniture delivered in the beginning of April. It's been in, but obviously the room was not ready...I'm a little superstitious too.

We have our last child birth class next week and hospital tour on April 8th.
I can't wait, but I am a bit anxious about where I will be when my water breaks or I go into labor.
Did anyone pack their bag? I'm going to do it the week I am off from work and keep it in my car.

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Had growth sono. Im so glad to read some of the weight of the other babies. This one is measuring about 4lbs at 31 weeks. I was worried that was too small.

This child is laying so low. DS was much higher in my belly, so its hard walking around school. Im tired and feel huge. Some nights are better than others with the sleep.

Starting to think about the hospital bag and starting to pick up small items at BRU and Target.

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hey :)

I am 31 weeks preggo and just found out that I will be having a scheduled C on May 3rd. Feeling pretty good, no complaints

Baby is weighing almost 4 pounds!!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

30 weeks and feeling good. Its been hard to sleep for the last few weeks but it's going to be like this for a while so I'm getting used to it. I'm not having another sono till 34 weeks so don't know how big baby is yet. I can tell she hasn't flipped because the kicks are in the same place as they have been but she does have the hiccups which has been an interesting feeling. We just finished painting the nursery and are having carpet installed next week so things are coming along! I wish I knew when my shower is going to be but no one wants to share that info with me
And we are going to child prep classes next week at LIJ

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hi May mommies! I am about 32 weeks. Feeling pretty good. Last night I was feeling a lot of pressure and I think it was the weather. I know that sounds crazy. Other than that I feel good. Turns out I don't have GD like I did with my first. Hope everyone feels well for the rest of their pregnancies!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

hi may momma's!!

so my C -section is scheduled for May 6th!
i can't believe it!

i am 30w2d today! just had my shower yesterday.. got a lot of stuff!!

i feel okay, just really tired and run down. i go to my Peri tomorrow.. the babies should be a little over 3 lbs by now!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Well my EDD was May 2nd, but baby made his appearance on March 6th (8 weeks early)!!!!!!! So I am totally missing out on the last two months of pregnancy (boo!) But I got to meet my little man (and find out the sex since we were team green) early and I'm soooooo happy he's doing well.

Good luck to all the May mommas!!!!!! I can't wait to hear all about your babies!

Re: May Mommies- Progress/Updates??????????????

Hey May Momma's! Can you believe it seems so close now? Yikes! lol

I am 32 weeks today and had my shower 2 weeks ago. I got a lot of clothes and all of my big things. I needed to go shopping to get the basics, like Diapers, Wipes, bottles, Nipples, Binky's and bath wash, etc. It wasn't so bad, I had fun shopping with my Mom and sister. :)

I am feeling ok. It really depends on the day. lol I'm just really tired! I have been sleeping on and off all day today. I have no energy to do anything. The baby is moving a lot lately and sometimes she gets me good! ha ha

I have a growth sonogram scheduled for Tuesday morning and will update you on the weight, etc. then. My Doctor told me that he wants me coming in weekly already starting on the 24th. Is that weird? He said that he wants me getting a non stress test at every appointment too. He said it's because "I'm not 22 anymore!". Nice, huh?

Do you guys think it means something else?? Do you think that he thinks I'll go early?? I'm going to try not to stress over it.

I can't wait to see this little girl on Tuesday. :)

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.
