May Mommy Check In

Hey May Mommies,

We are all getting into, or already started, our third trimesters. How is everyone doing?

I begin my third trimester tomorrow. I am starting to feel sluggish again, and need naps on the weekends.

I am sleeping better (when I manage to sleep), but I always wake up a couple of times a night with back and hip pain.

Otherwise, I am doing well, and looking forward to meeting my little one.

Re: May Mommy Check In

Hi....I'm 29 weeks and I'm feeling pretty good except for the lack of sleep. I just can't get comfortable and if its not that then Im up to pee every hour. I had a sonogram last week and the baby is already 3.3 pounds. Im just glad she is growing well because I only have a 2 vessel umbilical cord....and risk of that could be lack of growth.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Re: May Mommy Check In

I have a growth sono tomorrow - I'm 28 weeks as of last Friday.

I had horrible leg cramps Friday and Saturday - hope never to happen again, my right leg (the first one to cramp) is still sore from it.

I hate not being able to bend, very inconvenient - I have so much to do and clean up.

Heartburn is still a pain, but I live on Tums and Maalox.

Pregnancy's not fun, but fortunately almost over. Looking forward to not working for 3 months. Hope I'll be able to handle this mothering thing. That's my biggest concern at this point - a little self doubt. Registry's complete and my mom asked for the shower invite list.

Re: May Mommy Check In

I'm doing fine, but ready to have this kid already!! I just feel so HUGE!!!

I hope I go early! lol I'm 28 weeks, and the baby is moving like crazy and keeping me up at night. Just can't wait to meet him/her!

Re: May Mommy Check In

Hi everyone...
I'm 27 weeks, and getting large...Last week my appetite suddenly increased..i decided not to go on the scale anymore cause its too depressing...i think i probably gained around 20lbs.

Just ordered the furniture, very excited, love it!

I go for my growth sono between 30-33 weeks, looking forward to that...

So far my biggest complaint is lower back pain, its not constant, but when it comes, it really hurts.

I also can't wait till this pregnancy is OVER, but we are almost there. I'm counting down the days. I think its going to be a great summer with a new baby and not working. Can't wait!

So excited to meet baby Michael!

Bumping for more May mommies.

Re: May Mommy Check In

I am 29 weeks and feel good except for the groin issues that continue and the pain that is associated with that,but luckily all else is well.

Re: May Mommy Check In

26ish weeks - lots of movement. Some heartburn, and lower back pain, but its generally tolerable. Sleeping hasn't been great lately.

I'm hoping to be a May mom (my due date varies between 5/25 - 5/31), but I went late with Ella.

It seems to be coming quickly, and I still have so much to do...

Re: May Mommy Check In

Just about 1/2 way through week 26 and getting BIG!!
Baby moves like crazy at the most random times throughout the day. It's always entertaining.
Back aches are daily..
Heartburn is a beeeyotch. I'm loving my TUMS. Sleep is a rarity. I guess it's just natures way of letting me know how much I really need vs. how much I'd LIKE to get. I'm up to 6 pillows at night all propped around different positions around me. Registry is done. Should be getting furniture by the end of March hopefully. This month's project is to paint the murals in the nursery..

So far, so good.

Re: May Mommy Check In

Hi everyone! I'm 28w2d. I'm definitely starting to feel the fatigue again and can't do as much as i used to.
My DH is almost finished painting the nursery so i'm dying for the furniture to come in and see it all set up. (BBB takes FOREVER!)
The sleeping situtation is okay. I have to get up to pee at least twice and i'm very uncomfortable while i sleep.
My baby shower is next month and i'm so excited for that:)

Happy and Healthy third trimester to us

Re: May Mommy Check In

I'm 27 weeks today.

Just like all you, everything seems to be getting bigger and harder. Sleep is difficult, heartburn s*cks, but the kicks and movement I am feeling more than make up for it.

I am trying to get DH to start the work on the nursery. He has to create a closet and move some walls. We also have to choose carpet and get a changing table.

We've only got a few more months ladies until we meet our LOs.

Re: May Mommy Check In

Hi all! I'm 26w4d today and doing pretty well.
Heartburn is pretty much under control (I you Nexium!) but my lower back is bothering me a lot and sleeping is not easy!
Putting on socks is getting to be a chore too!
The gymnastics baby is doing in there makes it all worth it though! I could just sit and stare at my belly for hours!

I'm almost done registering, but we still have to buy all the furniture but the crib. I'm bugging DH daily to finish the molding, spackling, priming, painting etc in the baby's room. Once that's done, we have to order carpeting...Some nights I cry thinking about everything that still has to get done. Ok, I cry at just about everything these days, but still....

Re: May Mommy Check In

Hi May Mommies!!! I can finally say I am 26 wks. Sleeping really is my main issue, the hip pain.. not fun! Besides that i'm bummed bc I found out I failed my 1 hour glucose today. I have to go for the 3 hour on Friday. I hope I pass. The little ones movement has increased to where I feel it everyday -- Yeah! Its the best part of the pregnancy so far.

DH almost fell off his chair when I showed him the to-do list we have. Everything from finish the nursery to picking a baby name. I am just so worried that I will forget something! Well Its a full moon today, maybe we'll all miraculously have a good nights sleep!

Re: May Mommy Check In

29 weeks today and as i am typing i am trying to swallow down the acid that is in my throat!!!

ugh!!

had a DR apt last week, told them i was NOT getting on the scale due to HEAVY overeating on vacation all last week!!

overall feeling good....only 11 weeks to go, i feel like i have SO MUCH TO DO and so LITTLE TIME TO DO IT!!!!

Re: May Mommy Check In

I will be 28 weeks on Friday. I still feel great - nothing to complain about.
We picked up the rest of the baby's furniture on Monday, put the crib together, and put it all in his room.
I don't get a growth sono, but Sunday is my elective 3D/4D sonogram.
I am still packing on the pounds and gained over 30 lbs!
My shower invitations are going out this week.
And thats about it.

Re: May Mommy Check In

HI May Mommies!! So glad to hear everyone is dong well!!! I'm 27 weeks and doing great! Baby is moving sooo much and I love it! Passed my one hour! I can't believe that we are in the 3rd trimester already! The 2nd one FLEW by!!!!

Re: May Mommy Check In

I am 26 weeks, and oddly enough after all thats been going on, this is by far the best I have felt during my pregnancy. Heartburn has become a distant memory, its amazing. I have discovered that I can sleep through the night without any pregnancy pillows on the memory foam mattress in our guest room, so dh and I have moved into there.

Bedrest isnt so bad, dh has been taking good care of me and baby. I am high risk now so I see my doctor once a week, I am having another sono on Monday to check cervix length and babies progress, and then an appt with the dr.

we're almost there!
