What's going on with your insurance, blackcat ? Fingers crossed it gets worked out! Blargh, I'm in limbo waiting to see if my medicaid was renewed. It should be but they are taking forever. If it wasn't, I'm probably SOL.

If it wasn't, I'm probably SOL. Ugh gross, sorry. I have to reapply, my state is lenient with requirements for pregnant moms and newborns. It is a wonderful alternative to the $5-7K I paid out of pocket when I was working full time!! I hope yours gets worked out <3

Week/Fruit/EDD: 4w6d??/poppyseed
FTM, Etc: STM
Appointments: Today PCP. I think he wanted to check meds since I'm pregnant? He's requested a dating u/s. I kind of wanted to minimize u/s this round (I had a lot with DD who was healthy but behaving weirdly) so hopefully just 2, dating & diagnostic? The midwives are supposed to call soon to book my first appointment. I'm interested to see if they have a different perspective from my PCP.
Milestones: Told FIL, MIL & H, BFF about the baby.
Symptoms: Bloating, hunger, occasional aversions & nausea. Bloating is the biggest problem really, I'm having peppermint tea daily.
Rants: I want to tell my Mom & Dad, sister & H tonight at dinner but DH is reluctant since sister is overdue with her first. I wish I knew what she preferred without asking her! It's earlier than we told people last time but as MIL put it "I would make a terrible criminal" because I'm a horrible liar. *weight related* This is really stupid but I'm upset that I didn't lose the 10 lbs I gained last Christmas before getting pregnant.
Raves: I found 2 pairs of jeggings for $9 at a thrift store today! They are stretchy waist so I'm hoping they'll work for first tri. Last time I couldn't comfortably wear zip up pants even though I wasn't actually bigger, just painfully bloated.

@kore I would have never been upset with a pregnancy announcement while overdue. The thought wouldn't even occur to me! I say share your news and give her a distraction from the fact that she's 97 years pregnant. She will probably welcome the attention being shifted to you, it's a nice break from "no baby yet?! But you look HUGE!! Are you sure it's not twins??"

peachesncream: DH left it up to me so we did tell them last night. I said it was cool that we were pregnant at the same time and she said "pfft not really" because she's overdue and feels like she should have had the baby before we found out. She's apparently 100% done with being pregnant.

@kore I hope she was still happy for you! I had DD at 40+2 (so just barely over) and I know that last week I was trying everything I could think of to get baby moving. I got a membrane sweep at 40+1 which got labour started almost immediately.

sammysam: She is! She likes how close in age the babies will be. She said "we can go to Under One Club together" (a city playgroup). I do hope we can but having a 2 y.o. is not ideal for that lol. Being late is definitely making her very subdued and she's a bubbly person so she just didn't react like we thought she would. Poor sis, she wanted a sweep but wasn't even a cm at 40w. Tomorrow she gets a balloon induction. I've never had a holiday baby so I can't imagine how stressed out she and BIL must be about Christmas too.

**Possible TW**
Well, looks like I'm out. I woke up to heavy bleeding and cramping. I'm feeling very sad and disappointed but it has helped us realize how much we do want one more. It was nice getting to chat with you ladies for the last few days and I'm wishing you all a h&h 9 months ❤️

Omg @kore that sounds awful. I am the same way, I never have BH or warm up contractions so I never dilate a bit until go time. My OB was shocked when at 41 weeks with my 3rd I was not even 1 cm dilated 😂 he said he had only seen that once or twice before! My cervix is a freak of nature apparently. I hope the induction goes well, keep us posted on your new niece or nephew!

I have never had a Foley induction, I just get Cervadil or whatever the other drug is. I wonder why they are subjecting her to that cruel method 😬 FX things speed along for her!!
