Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? LO must have changed positions last week because after feeling the most movement so far between 26 & 27 weeks, the late last week and early this weekend were pretty quiet. I was still feeling movement, but not nearly as much which I hate and makes me nervous. Well he must have moved again because I woke up to a dance party in there this morning. Constant pops and wiggles for probably a half hour laying in bed this morning. I think that's what woke me up actually. It was nice to feel so much after some more quiet days.

[mirabelle]

brenna this is the list of stretches/poses I’ve been doing right before bed, there’s not doubt in my mind it’s helping me sleep better. I’ve never done yoga during pregnancy before.

Symptoms: Starting to get Braxton Hicks if I do too much, and just so constipated. Other than all that I'm feeling really good, so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I really wanted smoked fish, so I bought some at the farmer's market. After I ate some of it I googled it out of curiosity and there it was on the list of things to avoid. I'm so bad at being pregnant this time around! It was so good too

[Nymeria]

killertofu - I would think this is one of those items they say to avoid for the potential bacteria - like sushi and deli meat. If it was properly prepared and stored I wouldn't even second guess yourself for indulging.

[blurnette989]

killertofu honey smacks cereal was just involved in a recall for salmonella recently. Seriously eat what you want, just be conscientious of the source and how it is stored. I've eaten pretty much everything on the no-no list if I trust the source. Anything can basically cause illness so it is just considering the source.

It probably was, but I can't say for sure. I bought it frozen and vacuum sealed from a local company at a farmer's market. I didn't get sick but I think I will toss the opened package. There is still a package in the freezer that will be all mine in about 4 more months

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?

[brenna]

killertofu I eat a turkey sandwich every day for lunch and don't heat it up. I feel like the list of "no no"foods should really be updated. There are more bacteria outbreaks in and fruits and vegetables than anything else.

[brenna]

mirabelle that website with the yoga poses was excellent! I did most of them last night and it felt so good!

Seriously. I have had a lot of turkey or ham sandwiches this pregnancy and last pregnancy and I have not once heated it up first.

How big is baby? Ear of corn

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink

Any Upcoming Appointments? Next week I have a follow up ultrasound. We are hoping we can get a good look at her heart since she didn't cooperate for those images the last time.

Symptoms: sacroiliac joint pain, restless and lack of sleep.

Milestones:In the middle of the viability weeks I guess.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I really need to get my act together and start working out. I just don't have enough motivation.

[Nymeria]

Follow-up u/s and 28 week check-up done.

My placenta moved enough!!! They were looking for at least 2cm away from my cervix and it's up to about 6 1/2. The tech even commented that baby's head was past it already. Very relieved there won't be any L&D impact. Baby looked great and I got to see his little face in 3D.

Check-up after was short and sweet. I did get both TDaP and Rhogam today so pin cushion, but they're out of the way now. Next check-up in 2 weeks - I can't believe it's time to start bi-weekly appointments already!

[tbirdlove]

Nymeria yay for that placenta getting outta the way! I get mine checked next Friday - it was low laying as well. But it was just barely low enough to be considered "low laying" so I haven't been worried about it 😊

[Nymeria]

tbirdlove - Hopefully you're in the clear too!!

[Nymeria]

Damn. Just realized I forgot to ask for my breast pump prescription today. Oh well, I'll be back there in less than 2 weeks.
