When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/20, 30w4d
How big is baby? Zucchini / Summer Cantaloupe
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? 32 week check-up July 27
Symptoms: Fatigue, some swelling in my ankles/feet, not sleeping well, hip pain
Milestones: Now that I've hit the 30's for weeks I feel like there's not much left for milestones until due date!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I had been assuming baby was head down (he was at my a/s and follow-up u/s June 29) but face up so when the types of movements I was feeling changed a bit the past few days I was hoping that meant he had rolled over and was now head down and facing my spine. Well...I just felt a round of hiccups slightly above my belly button which Google tells me is generally where you feel hiccups if baby is breech. I know there's plenty of time left but I was pretty happy he had been head down all this time so the possibility that he might not be anymore makes me anxious!

Nymeria this baby has been breech at all ultrasounds and is still breech I think (based on the kicks and punches I get into my cervix that feel really great haha). I know there is still a lot of time for it to flip but it makes me nervous it will run out of room and not be able to.

Nymeria, brenna - baby was breech here too at my u/s a week and a half ago. Or more laying up across the top! I was also surprised because I'd been feeling hiccups low, right. Then of course after the u/s I started feeling hiccups high, so baby must have gotten into that position shortly before the u/s! I've been feeling them low again lately. Getting an idea of baby's position is my favorite thing about hiccups! There's still plenty of time for these babies to get into head-down position 😊

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I ended up getting a bunch of cloth diapers second hand from a J15 Buddy as well as some free ones too. Im way too excited to already have my diaper stash going. I've also been stupidly excited about this! I started buying NB sizes BEFORE I even got the positive test 😆 The prefolds I bought to use with DS in the newborn phase were too long and I hated them. So I ended up waiting until he fit OS to do CD with him. And he was tiny, so that wasn't until 4-6 months! This time I'm gonna be prepared with more NB options, so I've been stocking up. I actually have some second hand workhorses being mailed out to me today! Haha!

tbirdloveI wanted to CD with DD but we were in an apartment without w/d so we had to pay for our laundry. I just couldn't do it. So I'm so glad we can finally but so far I only have used diapers. I prefer prefolds from when I used To change my nieces diapers 9 years ago but the boy I nanny does AIO's. It's a new thing for me but I'm so excited.

I'm happy to talk diapers any time 😉There's definitely a learning curve in the beginning - Just figuring out what works best for you, what fits baby best, what laundry routine works best for you, etc, etc. But then they're SO cute and it's nice to save the money on disposables and all the garbage. I borrowed a friend's mix of brands to try before I stocked up myself on OS. And once I knew what I liked and what fit best I bought most of my OS stash used!!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Love seeing other cloth mamas on here. I've been slowly adding to our stash. We did cloth with L from newborn but used a diaper service so we didn't have any newborn size of our own, I've been stupidly excited about buying newborn diapers.

killertofu I don't think that's crazy. We camped just for a night a couple weeks ago and it was fine. We slept in hammocks and I didn't get much sleep, but I was also sharing my hammock with L so that didn't help. chriskoo sorry you're dealing with that kind of pain, I hope you can find some relief.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/19 now - 31 weeks 😳
How big is baby? Romaine lettuce or asparagus
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green
Any Upcoming Appointments? OB next Thursday
Symptoms: Pelvic/hip/back pain and now introducing...pain in my waist?! My assumption is that my oblique abdominal muscles are being strained by the weight of the belly. My skin has kind of been sore along there as well. I got the heartburn under control cause I requested the prescription strength Zantac at my last appt - it's been great to be free of that burning. Been having more trouble sleeping a few nights.
Milestones: Single. Digit. Weeks.... 🤪
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Still feeling a little thrown in moving my EDD up. I wish my OB had looked more closely at all my data on the TWO other separate occasions that I asked her about this. I just hope this is right and that I don't go way over "40 weeks" now. I really don't want to feel pressured to induce.

pixiepink24 Nymeria thanks. If it becomes an issue we will definitely have a conversation about it. In fact, I'm planning to talk about my worries with my OB next time I see her just so that the concern is on the table. I just need to relax about it for now, try to enjoy the time I have left and try not worry unless it becomes an issue.

chriskoo I'm so sorry that you've been in so much pain. I hope you are able to figure something out that makes the rest of the pregnancy more comfortable and allows you to get back to some sense of normalcy.
