1. How far are you now/EDD? 32+3/RCS May 16 which is 7 weeks from today!! 2. How big is baby? She was 4lbs 2oz on Friday which my MFM said is practically perfect. 3. Team:pink 4. Symptoms: Sleeping is becoming much harder, uncomfortable, round, carpal tunnel is coming back 5. What and when is your next appointment? OB check in Friday 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Serious word vomit coming: She was breech Friday but has been flipping to transverse and probably back to breech all week. It's not comfortable. I'm ready for her to pick one direction and stay there. Also, she's measuring average again which is great but was the main reason we were opting for a RCS so now I'm like should I bump that out a couple days so I can at least try for a VBAC? But if she's just hanging out breech they won't let me try. I just don't want the recovery that comes with a RCS especially the lifting restrictions when my 2.75yo is over 40 lbs. But also don't want to try a VBAC and have to have an emergency csection again. I also enjoy knowing there's a definite end date in mind right now and can plan around that. I'll talk to my doctor on Friday about options. Tl;Dr: Feelings about RCS vs VBAC...again. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? I almost always wanted to be a teacher of some kind. When I got to high school it was either an English teacher or a music teacher. I'm glad I went with music because there is less paper grading involved 😉 8. Show off your bump!  |

When i was really little, a Doctor. As i got older I wanted to be an FBI agent. And now I’m an Executive Assistant. 8. Show off your bump!  |

1. How far are you now/EDD? 32 weeks 2. How big is baby? pain d'epi 3. Team: blue x 2! 4. Symptoms: I've actually been feeling more rested lately, as I can now take a nap during the day. Thank goodness! 5. What and when is your next appointment? This Friday, midwife wellness check 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Baby 1 is still measuring small, he's growing but is on the skinny side. So, I've been bumped up to 3-4 appointments a week: a wellness check from a midwife 2*/week, my doctor once a week, and an ultrasound every other week. It's going to be a long final stretch, but I feel like I'm in good hands with my doctor. My first goal is to get both babies over 2 kilos (right now they are measuring 1,45 and 1,65) and my second goal is to get both to 2,5 kilos. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Vanna White  8. Show off your bump! No pic this week, I'll probably try to get a nice family photo this weekend during Easter. |

1. How far are you now/EDD? 34+4; 5/5; 34 days tops to go. 2. How big is baby? Ginormous? Um a butternut squash? Last week at the MFM, they estimated her to be 5.5lbs already. OB LOLNOPE’d that since I grow small babies (under 6lbs at full term). 3. Team: Pink 4. Symptoms:  In all seriousness, I’m really sore/stiff around my lower stomach/previous c-section scars. I feel more like I’m 2-3 weeks post section than I do 3-5 weeks pre. 5. What and when is your next appointment? I had an NST on Monday & she was super lazy again, but gave enough variability that OB was happy. I have another NST & OB appointment tomorrow afternoon. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I started packing my hospital bags on Monday. Mostly it’s toiletries I bought specifically for the hospital, extra long phone cords, yoga pants I won’t miss these next few weeks, and nursing bras. Still need to toss tops in there. And I have to start keeping up on laundry so I don’t hand my mom & sister a hamper of clothes for the older two. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? It changed a lot, but teacher is what I remember most. |

1. How far are you now/EDD? 34+6, 5/3
2. How big is baby? I think around 5 lbs
3. Team: pink
4. Symptoms: Everything hurts. I pee all the time. I’m over it.
5. What and when is your next appointment?My dr has me coming in every Monday since 32 weeks because I’m high rush. This Monday I will have a NST, cervical check & group b strep swab, and a bedside ultrasound to check baby’s position. If she’s still breech, they will schedule my c section for 4/27
6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
I’m just so over everything at this point. She curled up in a ball on my left side up high, and it hurts. I’m lopsided. And she never stops moving. I’m a little terrified of what I’m getting myself into.
7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Teacher. And I was one until I quit to SAHM

1. How far are you now/EDD? 32 weeks, 5 days. EDD 5/18/18. 2. How big is baby? Naked-Tailed Armadillo / Tub of Pop Corn / Florida Pomelo 3. Team: Blue 4. Symptoms: Today I've got a killer migraine, some digestive issues and back pain. Joy. And I'm supposed to be training my maternity leave fill in this afternoon. Also the baby is still lodged in my ribs. Ugh. 5. What and when is your next appointment? Regular every 2 weeks OB check in, 4/4. Then 4/18 I start weekly which seems crazy. 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Just really irritated with my work situation. I've been hounding them about planning/training for my maternity leave since October. They finally just now got someone in that can only be here a total of 5-6 hours a week. So on days like today, where I have such a bad migraine that I threw up first thing this morning, I can't even feasibly call in without massive guilt because I'll lose valuable training time. I KNOW the later pregnancy is hard...that's why I wanted someone in here so much sooner to get going on things. This happened last time too. They waited so long, I had 5 days with my replacement and then had to peace out 3 weeks early to be induced at 37 weeks. And I found out she is making more money than me with literally zero experience. So, that's making me feel awesome. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? A social worker in the adult mental health field (since I was about 12). Because my dad was a part of the broken mental health system and he had both really good and really bad social workers through out his life. I wanted to be one of the good ones. But I shadowed one in high school and realized I am way too empathetic and wouldn't be able to handle it without probably being majorly depressed. So then I went to massage therapy school instead because I figured then I could still at least help people feel better without the negativity. But then I broke my arm. And ta-da...I am a super exciting Purchasing Manager for an IT company now. 8. Show off your bump! |

Every time I figure he's moving quite a bit and put Hs hand on my belly he stops. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? Marine biologist. Before I realized that I was allergic to the cold  8. Show off your bump! Pic from last Friday because I'm too tired and sore tonight to take a new one. He had moved around to the front for sure.  |

1. How far are you now/EDD? - 28+3, 17Jun
2. How big is baby? - 3lb5oz per the MFM yesterday. Rollerblade per the app.
3. Team: blue
4. Symptoms: N/V, heartburn, RLP
5. What and when is your next appointment? - Monday, regular OB check up
6. Officially released from the MFM! Baby is growing well; 78% percentile for growth. He was a punk and we got no “good” ultrasound photos, but the doc saw everything he needed to see.
7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? - I don’t remember. I’ve never been very career oriented. It was a relief to realize wanting to be a SAHM was an acceptable life goal.

1. How far are you now/EDD? 34w 5d, 5/4 2. How big is baby? Basketball Hoop 3. Team: Blue 4. Symptoms: Severe back and pelvic pain (I'm in a full waddle now), exhaustion, starting to swell in my ankles a bit. Some cramping that feels like early labor did last time, but I'm assuming it's BH ratcheting up or the start of prodromal labor. Super fun either way. 5. What and when is your next appointment? U/S and 36 week appt next Wed 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? Baby is sitting much lower this week, which my esophagus and lungs appreciate, but he's killing my back and pelvis. There is SO much pressure on my bladder and cervix. Not to mention he is STILL flipping positions and moving constantly, which makes everything more uncomfortable. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a teacher, psychologist, or doctor. I ended up majoring in education and psychology in college, and went on to be a teacher. 8.

gustierx, were you anticipating the diagnosis of polyhydramnios? Does that mean any changes for your pregnancy monitoring?

1. How far are you now/EDD? 29.5w 2. How big is baby? supposed to be an acorn squash, but both of us are measuring behind now 3. Team: Green 4. Symptoms: just sick right now 5. What and when is your next appointment? next week, U/S 6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? My belly is measuring at 27 weeks, which makes sense as the baby is small too. However, the doc did say I had the lowest glucose numbers and the highest blood cell count she's ever seen, which would make me a perfect "baby machine" if not for my uterus. I'll take the compliment that my body is trying to do a good job despite its flaws. 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? I didn't really have a profession I really wanted that paid. If money was no object I'd like to be a figure skater in an ice show and a free vet for no kill shelters. I was in clinical genetics until I switched to accounting so I could be a work from home mom. 8. Show off your bump! Attachment Deleted |

I got a nice surprise at work today: a few months ago I queried whether I would be considered for a bonus at the end of the financial year (30 June) given I’ll be on leave, and they gave me one today! 7. GTKY: What did you want to be when you grew up? An accountant. Then I studied it in senior at high school and didn’t like it. Ended up a lawyer so it was semi-close. 8. Show off your bump! |

gustierx, were you anticipating the diagnosis of polyhydramnios? Does that mean any changes for your pregnancy monitoring? No I wasn't, but it makes sense after being told. DD was a peanut- 5.5 pounds, and I measured consistently small with her (I'm tall but petite so that also made sense). This time I'm measuring like 2-3 weeks ahead consistently and we knew baby had been 91-95 percentile for weight from all our level 2 ultrasounds (I'm high risk for other reasons). The last level 2 showed an AFI of 23 so I had to go back a week later for a BPP and it was almost 25. So mild, but officially there. Explains why I'm measuring so big, but there is no reason for why I have it (GD negative, anatomy normal). Since I'm mild my OB is allowing every 2 week BPPs + NSTs until 37 weeks, then weekly. I still have to talk to her about any potential impact on delivery date as there are increased risks for delivery. Since he's so big, we're going with the CS this time anyway. This pregnancy has been really complicated and stressful so it's definitely our last baby! |
