How big is baby? 11ounces today, small banana
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Pink

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Had our A/S today and all looks good! She is measuring 1 day ahead and was 11ounces! She was ultra cooperative for the U/S tech which was a good change from DD1 whom I had to have 3 different scans to get all they need.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Oct 30, 25 weeks today
How big is baby? Prairie Dog/Napa Cabbage
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next is Aug 3 for Glucose screening, Ultrasound to evaluate previa and midwife appt
Symptoms? Tired, pregsomnia, hungry, back pain,
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I hate how taxing it is to do anything physical at this point, especially outdoors. I love my garden, but whenever I go out for 15 minutes and tend to it when it's hot outside, I come back inside feeling like crap and have to lie down and drink a ton of water. Oh, and yesterday while chopping vegetables for dinner I had a fun episode where I got super nauseous and then super lightheaded and had to lie down for 20 min until I felt better. No idea if it was just low blood sugar or what, but hoping it doesn't happen again.
GTKY: What's your current craving? Snyder's ranch flavored pretzel nuggets. I may have eaten almost an entire bag in the past 36 hours...

How big is baby? At my A/S last week he was measuring about 14 oz, about a week ahead!
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? I have a fetal echo scheduled for the 31st.
Symptoms? Heartburn the last few days, which I never dealt with DS. Kicks are getting more and more frequent/stronger, which is great! Some can be felt from the outside now, though H and DS haven't caught one yet.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Nursery is painted, and we're moving baby furniture in this week to make space in DS' room for his big boy furniture coming Friday!
GTKY: What's your current craving? Tacos. And guac. And ice cream. Basically, everything - I'm non-stop hungry it feels like.

I really wish I wasn’t so negative lately, but I feel like I can’t catch a break. Sorry for the word vomit.
GTKY: What's your current craving? I just ate a large amount of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake to drown my sorrows so I’m going with that.

I’m sorry summerrain. Sucks about the previa and not being able to travel :/ and for your friend being so unreasonable. What is wrong with people?! We have a trip planned to CA for Aug 5th. My NP said it’s up to us whether we feel comfortable traveling, but I have my A/S on Aug 1 and I am afraid they will find something that will change that opinion. It’s not like I’ve had the smoothest go this far.. When is your due date? How far along are you? Dec 25th, 17 weeks! How big is baby? Pomegranate Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Girl! Any Upcoming Appointments? Anatomy Scan on Aug 1. I’m so nervous..they saw a circumvallete placenta at my NT Scan so they will be taking a closer look at that. Also looking for any signs of abruption. Symptoms? Getting up frequently to pee. Sometimes it is more difficult to pee too. So annoying Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Got a car seat for baby girl on prime day! GTKY: What's your current craving? Actually haven’t had many. Haven’t been particularly picky either. All food is good!

I know it's easy to say from the bleachers, but if somebody will end a friendship because you miss their wedding for a medical reason--especially the health of a child!--that friendship ought to end. Eff them.

Sorry about the friend and the previa, summerrain. I had a bridesmaid who ended up pregnant and due the day of our wedding. She had to bow out because you can’t predict birthdays. I was sad, for sure, but more excited for her. Another friend FaceTimed her so she could watch and my SIL slid into a bridesmaid role no problem. The birthing of a human and following doctor’s orders is much more important than a wedding. This is a life we’re talking about.

I thought I was at peace with a RCS, but I feel like if I was I wouldn't have the nagging thoughts of a VBAC in the back of my mind. I prayed on it and asked for some signs and saw the signs leading me to a VBAC, but I still just don't know what is right. GTKY: What's your current craving? I had my first real "must have this now" craving the other day - beef stew over rice lol so weird, but it was delicious.

How big is baby? GI Joe?
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Boy
Upcoming Appointments? Check-up & glucose test in 3ish weeks.
Symptoms? My boobs are outgrowing everything. I hate leaving the house right now because nothing fits right.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Not a rant but my OB’s office is making me bring my own cup of pee to my next appt (the glucose testing appt). Lol. It’s kinda odd how they do it. My last OB had me pee in a cup at the office at each appt. This OB has never had me pee in a cup at all & now they want me to bring my own next time. Okay, then!
GTKY: What's your current craving? Hmm ice cream!

Hugs, summerrain, that really sucks. I would hope your friend would understand doctor's orders not to travel (I'm under the same ones for previa), and if she doesn't then you don't need that kind of friend. Previa is some serious shit. Maybe someone at the wedding can facetime/skype you in so you can see the ceremony and/or say hi at the reception?

Thank you ladies. I’m sorry you are dealing with previa too Dramaphile. I don’t even know that I fully understood the severity of my case, or Previa in general, until my doctor had a surprise sit down with me yesterday and gave me the details of what’s going to happen. I’m giving my friend a few days to process and will talk to her again before the wedding. I’m just hoping that she will come around. We’ve been friends for 25 years so I admittedly might be holding on to a friendship that just might not be the best.

summerrain , I had previa with my last pregnancy, but it resolved itself before I delivered. No judgment at all, but curious, how can previa be so severe at this point in a pregnancy that it prevents travel? Also, your friend doesn't sound like a friend at all. Your health and safety, and that of your child, come before her pretty princess day. Every time. Jesus, people suck. When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/25. I'm 21+3. How big is baby? Idk. Big enough to give me round ligament pain, lol. Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Boy. Any Upcoming Appointments? Not for a few weeks. Symptoms? I feel kicking now. It's still early faint kicks, but they're there. Also, LOTS of peeing at night. And exhaustion. It's probably because I'm working a lot and traveling for work a lot, but my fatigue at this point in my pregnancy is way worse this time than it was last time. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My DD (17 months) can say "brother" and Everett. (The baby's name.) It's precious. GTKY: What's your current craving? Nothing specific. I just got an Instant Pot from Prime Day, though, and I definitely was drooling over instant pot recipes last night.

sapatos the risk with previa is hemorrhage, and if it's severe enough (basically centered directly on top of your cervix) then they can predict it won't move enough before birth. If you were to have a miscarriage, preterm labor, or some kind of trauma, it could cause hemorrhage, which is why they won't let you fly or be out of range of an ER (my midwife also told me no travel to remote places without emergency access, not that I had any backpacking trips planned). Hemorrhage can be sudden and massive because the placenta has a ton of blood in it and you could easily bleed out on a plane ride because of how long it would take to get medical attention. With a complete previa and already having bleeding issues, travel restrictions make sense. ETA: Hemorrhage at this stage is rare, but can be serious which is why they are over-cautious

That makes sense. When I had previa, it was very slight and my OB was completely unconcerned, saying it 99% likely move before delivery. I had an ultrasound a few weeks later and it had moved, sure enough. I didn't know complete previa posed risks like that at this stage. summerrain, then your friend DOUBLE sucks.

To add to what dramaphile said sapatos I originally thought mine had a chance of moving thanks to my frantic google searching, but my high risk ob and regular ob have now both said that mine is not going to move because it is the most severe form of complete. Part of that is because I also have several subchorionic hematomas that are filling my uterus too and will not resolve due to their size so there isn’t much room for it to move. I’ve also been bleeding most of this pregnancy so my risk of hemorrhage is higher. They said it’s not an if the big bleed will happen but a when situation and she doesn’t even want me traveling more than 45 minutes from where I currently live so i can get to the hospital quickly. She termed me the highest of high risk and told me to be prepared for the worst. The goal is to hopefully get me to 28 weeks at this point, but I’m holding out hope for longer. It’s kinda just the perfect storm of shit and I literally had no idea what all mine entailed until yesterday. Yesterday morning i still thought i was going on both of my trips but here i am.

This is random, but Tori Spelling had placenta previa with Finn and the stories she shared in one of her books are terrifying. She ended up spending the end of her pregnancy in the hospital. But he did arrive happy and healthy, so there’s that!
