Nausea/morning sickness seems to be here to stay. Anyone else dealing with it? I am going to ask the doc about using Unisom when I go in tomorrow, with vitamin B. I have any desire really go on Zofran or anything like that, and I'm able to keep food down during the day so it isn't a health issue as much as a comfort thing since I feel really sick 24/7. It isn't just the reflux now that is doing it, it is reflux + hormones. Joy. Plus I feel like a big complainer. Womp womp.

I say give it a try, peachesncream. (night weaning) It was easier than expected when I did it with DS and I just replaced nursing with cuddles. I'm nervous about MOTN too though b/c DS only wants me (tells DH "Daddy go away" during the night if he tries to comfort him). Even last night, I ended up sleeping in one of DH's sweatshirts and I think DS thought he was cuddling up to DH in bed and started to push me away before I put my arm around him to show him it was me! Ha, I wonder if we could flip that and have DH wear MY sweatshirt and see what DS does...

Hi friends! It is a cold day here too and the weather the rest of the week doesn't look any better. I am soooo tired. I haven't gotten more than 5 hours or so of sleep a night for the past 3 weeks and it is really starting to wear me down. Everyone keeps say "just wait until the baby comes and you really won't get any sleep!" which is NOT helpful- I know I will be getting even less sleep then so it just stresses me out when I hear that. It is definitely different when baby comes! I haven’t slept well the past few weeks either & honestly I’m looking forward to baby coming bc it is so different. When DD was born I was up 4-5x nursing her but at least after each feeding I could fall back asleep no problem. Being pregnant I wake up to pee or whatnot & cannot get comfortable to fall back asleep so IMO newborn sleep is better than third trimester sleep for sure!!

Today is H’s birthday! We went out for brunch & then watched Moana with DD after we got home. I had contractions the whole drive home but then they stopped so that was annoying. I’m ready to be doneeee

I agree with above, newborn sleep is not great, but you are more comfortable and expect it. I’m very ready to not feel the way I do “sleeping” (grunting around in pain trying to lay somehow that doesn’t hurt) anymore.

I am sorry you are dealing with this, complain to us anytime! Not trying to scare you I would definitely mention it to your doc because 3rd tri nausea/MS can be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. Fingers crossed it is nothing and your doc can give you something to treat it!!

Omg major pukefest as soon as I made it in the door. I thought I was going to have to pull over to get sick during my drive home. I'm kind of hoping this is a bug. @peachesandcream...what sort of issues?!

everyone has been checking in with me today about if labor has started. Um no. Haha. Also H is like “well if you’re impatient you can always walk” and I’m like well I would if it didn’t make me feel like my hips were about to pop out of socket. Stupid SPD has made walking any distance pretty miserable for the last 3 months. Oh well. I told myself today that each day passing is one day closer! And H has had basically the last 10 days off bc nobody is flying at the squadron over the holidays so he goes in for a few hours at the most & comes home. As a result we’ve had so much family time & sweet moments with the two of us & DD. I’m really thankful for that & if baby had come any sooner we wouldn’t be getting all of this time just the three of us.
Regardless I am still impatient & will likely offer him bday secks to try move things along haha. Even if it just means a few contractions to dilate me haha I’ll take it.

I just researched and I see it can be a sign of pre-e so my mom is on her way over with the bp cuff so I can check it. Otherwise I would be freaking out all night prob. Baby is moving around as usual so that is reassuring too. DH is stopping for ginger ale and crackers for me too and I think we have some pedialyte if needed.

pinkcat i love my Soma nursing bra for day to day. It only comes in nude unfortunately. I’m team underwire for when I actually get dressed and go out though. I tried Motherhood maternity and didn’t love them. I had trouble w the underwire poking out in them. Hated the Gillian O’Malley ones from Target. I need to go look at the ones i wear for at home they don’t have underwire. I’ll update when I get off the couch. 😂Also, I totally slept on my belly! I often woke up with soaked sheets but at least I was comfortable. 😂 I got these for sleep nursing bras: CAKYE 3PACK Maternity Nursing Bra Sleep Tank For Breastfeeding and Pregnancy (Large/38B,38C,38D, Black + Navy + Mint Green (3Pcs)) www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7GS1SR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FvatAbRDXF4SBAnd these for camis: 3 PACK OF Convertible Strap Nursing Cami for Breastfeeding (X-Large, A) www.amazon.com/dp/B0746NN6GX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_pwatAb7GNKFNP

Uneventful doctors appointment. 0 centimeters, -3 station, 50% effaced. I ended up playing hooky with Wife and we went to see Star Wars, it was so good!

I have two of these and while I haven't nursed in them they are very comfortable and given that they don't have underwires are pretty supportive (I'm a full C cup). My sister LOVED them and bought me one when Ava was born if/when my milk came in and I bought a second one and have been wearing them in rotation with my normal bras. Bravado Nursing BraFYI for anyone needing nursing/maternity clothes Macy's has a "buy more save more" going on for most (but not all) of their maternity and nursing stock. If you buy 4 or more qualifying items you get 30% off. I'm getting a nursing sleep bra and a few tops that I can nurse with. I only need a few since at home I can strip down if I need to for pumping and nursing, but I need a few things for when we have guests or when we start leaving the house more often.

Thanks all. I know I haven't been drinking enough and I'm guessing the mucinex I took today dehydrated me even more. Ugh

Had my 37 week appointment today. It took my doctor about two minutes to find the heartbeat. It was terrifying. She thinks she is just turned funny, still head down, but just situated in a spot that is tough to register on the Doppler. I almost cried while she was looking though. I’ve had an underlying paranoia of late term loss, and that certainly didn’t help.
Otherwise nothing exciting to report. 1cm dilated, all looks well. If I’m not at least 3cm by next week I’ll have to come in next Thursday evening for cervadil before my scheduled induction on the 12th. So bring on the walking and such I guess.

My sister's boobs got huge when she nursed, especially with the twins and she said that they stretch and support from your normal size to your biggest. I have the large (38C normal bra size, L/XL shirt size) and thought it would be too small but it fits great and I'm on the loosest hooks. They aren't cheap but so far I'm happy with them. I use a mesh bag to wash them (and all of my bras) and I'm glad I do because the pad insert things always come out in the spin cycle. At least with the mesh bag I don't have to go hunting them down.

I need to dust and vacuum my office, but otherwise upstairs is clean and organized. The last of three loads of laundry is in the dryer and the first two are already folded and put away (having the laundry upstairs is a total game changer!!!!).
I'm may do downstairs tomorrow or I may do some more freezer cooking. We'll see what kind of energy I have...

Hi all! Sorry I have been mia. I was struggling a bit. The hormones have hit me hard and G’s having such a hard time adjusting that I have been a mess. Today has been a bit better. We took the baby for his first appointment and the dr said everything is fine which is also making me feel better. Also I discovered that the baby sleeps fabulously in the rock n play so I have gotten a few hours of sleep every night. The night still makes me nervous but it’s getting better every day.

I'm sorry you are struggling, but I'm sure we will all be MIA when our babies come home. Only so much energy and brain space to go around and newborns take priority. Take care of yourself!

It’s been hard. This baby is sooooo different than G so it’s like starting over but this time with a toddler that is super mad and acting out because you have changed her life so much. Oh and hormones. Lots and lots of those. And surgery to recover from. It’s good times all around. MH has been a crazy big Help but that doesn’t stop the hormones and sleep deprivation from making you feel awful.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you then run! Pre-e came to mind, I think it can also be associated with choleostatis?? Either way worth a mention at least! I hope your BP is okay and you get some relief from your appointment tomorrow.
