How far are you now? 31,3 Symptom check: I'm so tired, easily overwhelmed, and generally mentally checked out of reality What and when is your next appointment? I think I need to make an appointment for this week because someone messed up and didn't get me in for two weeks after my last one. Otherwise, it's next Monday for a NST. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I'm just ready to be done. As much as I've complained about pregnancy and how much it sucks (and trust, it does), I don't really hate it. I can deal with the symptoms, mostly. It's my head that's driving me crazy, which is probably just exacerbated by hormones. I've always had these kinds of thought patterns, but it's so much harder to deal with when I'm constantly worried I might be killing my kid. I want more kids after Iggy and I want to do this again, but damn is it scary for me. I hate my brain a lot.

1. How far are you now? 33+1
2. Symptom check: Elevated BP and all that good stuff. And just the normal third-tri exhaustion, pain, discomfort, insomnia. Nothing new.
3. What and when is your next appointment? Currently Thursday for an OB check-in (and hopefully scheduling an induction). But I have a call in to the OB right now, waiting to hear back if they want me to come in for the upper right quadrant pain that has developed today.
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? Not really. I'm feeling very blah and ready to be done. I feel terrible that MH basically has to be a single parent, even though I'm at home, because I can't do much of anything.

Rama thanks for the check in. I’m sorry it’s been so tough. longhornwino I’ve been thinking a lot about how tough the end might be with a 3 year old! Hang in there, mama! AFM 1. How far are you now? 18+2 2. Symptom check: nausea, vomiting (do I sound like a broken record yet?!), getting out of breath easily and so very tired. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Monday is our fetal echo. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I had a horrible pgal nightmare last night. I’m so glad I was able to find her with the Doppler quickly this morning. On an exciting note, I’ve been feeling movement since Sunday!

Rama - I'm sorry you're having a rough time it's so hard to stop worrying. longhornwino - I'm sorry you're uncomfortable, but hopefully you can schedule your induction so you'll have a date to look forward to. birch113 - I'm jealous you can feel movement! Sometimes I think I can feel the baby for a split second, but it's still really really subtle and not at all satisfying. AFM: 1. How far along are you? 17w3d 2. Symptom check: some insomnia, quickly getting out of breath - which I hope is from being pregnant and not just from generally being out of shape! 3. What and when is your next appointment? Regular OB check-up tomorrow 4> Anything you'd like to share with the group? This still seems surreal to me and sometimes I have a hard time believing I'm pregnant and/or that I'll get a baby at the end of this. I felt that way for my entire pregnancy with the twins and for some reason I assumed this time would be different - but nope.

Rama, I'm sorry it's been rough. Pregnancy can be really hard both physically and mentally. longhornwino, You're creeping on the end. Just remember you're taking care of your other little one 24/7 even if he's still an inside baby. birch113, yay for movement! It's such a relief when you can feel them. moto, I feel the same way a lot. I'm thinking ahead to next summer when we'll have another little one but I have a hard time believing it will actually happen 1. How far are you now? 16+5 2. Symptom check? Not too much. Tired and RLP but that's really it. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Regular OB appt on Friday. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? The PGAL part of my brain is starting to get more anxious as I get closer to my loss date. I started progesterone shots (again) last week so hopefully that will prevent pre term labor this time. Rama, Can my info be updated to carrying 1 and team pink? Thanks!

1. How far are you now? 33 weeks, 5 days 2. Symptom check: nausea/vomiting, tired, sore, very emotional 3. What and when is your next appointment? I have an NST tomorrow and next Monday, and an OB appointment Monday 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I am just trying to get things figured out. I still am not sure where I will be having this baby at. Our local hospital is a level 1 small hospital. I have hear if you are on insulin for GD, which I am for my fasting numbers that they might prefer that I deliver at the bigger hospital which is an hour away. I need to discuss this with my OB next week. I had a growth u/s yesterday and the baby is measuring huge...which is not a big surprise. DS was big and both sides of the family have big babies. I am struggling a lot with anxiety/depression. I know the triggers, but I still am struggling with coping/acceptance of some things. I broke down at my counseling appointment last night. Rama, I hate my brain too. Pregnancy horomones definitely exacerbate everything. I can completely relate to everything you wrote. longhornwino, I am thinking about you. I hope you are doing okay. birch113, Yay for feeling the baby move. Sorry about the nightmare. moto, I hope you have a good OB appointment today. bananas22, I am sorry about the anxiety. Being PGAL and PAIF is rough and causes so many emotions.

moto I can empathize with having a hard time wrapping my head around this being real. It stinks, but you’re not alone! bananas22 (((Hugs))) as you approach your loss date. woodenshoes I hope yo get the hospital questions sorted out. That sounds stressful.

1. How far are you now? 23 weeks, 4 days 2. Symptom check: Hungry, insomnia. Wildly hormonal because I felt semi-homicidal after DH finished my cereal. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Tuesday. A repeat of the US to check his kidneys, and I see the OB for my monthly right after. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I've gotten a few good kicks. Lovely. I wish he would do it all the time though. Anxiety definitely doesn't help. Instead of feeling just ecstatic I can feel him, I worry if he does it enough.
