I’m nervous to be induced. Although I had oxytocin and had my water broken with DS it just seems so different going in with irregular contractions.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 10/27, 35 weeks
How big is baby? A youth backpack? It's getting ridiculous lol
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? I go twice weekly now :/ once for my regular appointment and once for an extra NST
Symptoms: back pain and I get tired easily, but other than that I'm feeling pretty good. Went to the Renaissance festival on Saturday and really only needed to take a few breaks.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Got diagnosed with preeclampsia yesterday 😑 Luckily I'm not having any symptoms of it so it's pretty much business as usual. I just have to be on the lookout for vision changes, a headache or sudden swelling.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 4 days old
How big is baby? 8 lbs 1oz (birth weight 8 lbs 10.4 oz)
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green turned PINK!! I'm STILL a bit shocked!
Any Upcoming appointments? First ped appt yesterday - weight check next week. I think I'm already ready to get back to the chiropractor to sort my alignment back out after all my body has been through.
Symptoms: Sore everywhere and tired. I had a second degree tear again. I've already taken a look down below and my stitches look so much better this time. I had the shakes throughout the day on Sunday, and my hands and feet are more swollen now than at any other point. I go from freezing, shivering cold to roasting, take-my-shirt-off hot. I have all the feels about everything!
Milestones: I had a baby!!!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I could gush on and on about how amazed I am with my body. The fact that it grew a person, can endure all that labor and delivery brings upon it, and how quickly it goes into recovery mode and starts putting itself back together is absolutely amazing. I look at my fluffy postpartum belly, still covered in bruises, and am blown away that only days ago there was a whole little life in there. I hope everyone remembers to be kind and thankful to their postpartum bodies 💓

5 weeks, time please slow down!
How big is baby?
Unknown, still in newborn... his brother was not at this point
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?
Any Upcoming Appointments?
No
Symptoms: my core is very sore, bath time is hard on my back. I get through it, but afterwards my back spasms. Overall I’m feeling great.
Milestones: arbitrary milestone but he is sleeping much better all the sudden at night, I hesitate to say it out loud for fears I will jinx myself.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Took both kids to a get together over the weekend by myself and as I’m trying to leave both kids are screaming and causing a scene. All I could do was laugh about it. These 2 are humbling.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 10 days old! How big is baby? We’ll have him weighed at his next check up which is on Thursday. If I had to guess I’d say he’s a bit above birthweight now. Still a little peanut, he was 6lbs 9oz at birth. Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue  Any Upcoming Appointments? Just a baby checkup on Thursday Symptoms: I’m feeling good today! Yesterday was a bit rough, my postpartum bleeding randomly increased for a day and I was feeling very run down. Today it’s tapered off again and I feel much better. Just struggling with a bit of constipation but nothing unusual. Milestones: Just happy to be home with a baby! I love that I can lie on my back again, I’ve had a beer and a bit of champagne since he was born and it’s great to be able to have that again too. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I feel this huge sense of relief to be on the other side of this pregnancy with a healthy baby. |

Sending good induction vibes cheeksmum ! I had a positive experience with my induction with DS and I’m sure yours will go smoothly as well. Even on the oxytocin my contractions were still pretty irregular (would have like 3 back to back then a 5 minute break). Even if they don’t come in a pretty pattern they still could be productive so don’t stress! |

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! DD was born 8/29 and will be 4 weeks old tomorrow.
How big is baby? She is getting little rolls on her arms and legs and will probably be out of newborn stuff soon! 😮
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Green turned pink!
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Symptoms: my back is killing me from rocking/wearing DD so much. I stopped bleeding about a week ago, but yesterday it started up again.
Milestones: almost a month old already
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I mentioned this in the randoms thread, I don't like the newborn phase. Having to get DD to sleep all the time is exhausting and I can't wait until about 3-4 months from now when I can just put her down and she'll *hopefully* be able to fall asleep on her own.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 12 days old
How big is baby? Newborn sizes
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? 1 month appt on 10/16 and sweat test on 10/17
Symptoms: bleeding that isn't consistent
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm in a weird head space. We got a call from Nationwide Children's Pulmonary center because his newborn screening turned up a genetic defect/marker for cystic fibrosis. Neither MH or I were aware that we could be carriers for CF so this sucks. DS is also jaundiced but not too bad and his stools are green and mucousy. So I'm eliminating dairy and choosing to focus on that instead of the CF. Of course he only lost 2 oz at the hospital and gained 1 oz back before his first pedi appt so the doctor said we only have to come back for his 1 month visit. I'm worried he's going to lose a lot of weight from possible MSPI and I'm just a mess.
ETA: his only symptoms are the stools and grunting but that's only at night. He's otherwise very happy.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby?! 37 weeks. Two more weeks to scheduled c-section
How big is baby? Winter melon
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? Tomorrow. I may have her check me this time since the pressure has become quite ridiculous.
Symptoms: painful movements from baby, pressure, insomnia, reflux
Milestones: early term. She’s already outlasted DD so I’m happy about that for sure.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Easier to breathe, But baby girl has dropped a bit to a point I have to pee way too often. She’s dropped and come back up a bit a few times though so we will see if she’s serious this time over the next few days.

Milestones: 4 weeks!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? He is already so attached to me, which I mostly love but sometimes I need some space! Also I get my new phone tomorrow so I will be able to check in more often!

Had my ob check me today and there’s nothing going on. Literally 1/2 a centimeter so no signs of impending labor, which I’m ok with. It doesn’t give me full comfort we will make it to the scheduled day since my water broke with DD early and when I was just at a 1. Just trying to make sure we are prepared for an any day arrival and remembering that babies do what they want.
