My feet are killing me. H and my dad painted the kids bedroom this afternoon (minus doors and trim work) and honestly I did basically nothing. I tried sitting and doing along the baseboards but getting up was so uncomfortable and borderline painful because A drops down really low when I sit like that, apparently. So H kicked me out. I picked up the living room a bit while DS1 vacuumed around the playroom and litter box but honestly, didn't feel like I did much. So, I grabbed the vacuum and spent awhile cleaning out and vacuuming one of our cars and rearranging car seats. I don't think I spent much time doing it but maybe more than I thought. Feet hurt, I'm exhausted and short of breath, and my belly feels extra tight and heavy. H told me I need to quit for the day and I'm not going to argue.

thelittleredm I feel the same way. I made breakfast and did a few loads of laundry and it completely wore me out. Guess we have just reached that point in pregnancy! I have a few things I wanted to get done but my body is telling me to rest so for once I'm listening.

tngrl3, I hate this perma-exhausted and slow stage. It makes me so slow at work and takes forever to get cars shuffled around and I'm so out of breath, everyone feels the need to comment.

Getting out of breath is such a struggle right now. Iโve had to run a lot of meetings lately as I try to offload my work, and I feel like Iโm breathless after a few minutes of talking. Then my face gets all red because apparently everything makes me blush right now. Itโs so embarrassing!

CharlieB, Oh man. I'm glad the blushing isn't an issue I've had. That would be worse than the constant resting bitch face that I'm pretty sure I wear at all times now lol

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I forgot how much my body hates steroids. My insomnia is in overdrive thanks to that huge dose of steroids I had injected today. I know it is worth it to make sure baby girl's lungs are as developed as possible. But it's almost midnight and sleep seems to be nowhere in site.

Finally fell asleep around 2am. I'm tired this morning and just feel yucky today. I'm a little frustrated today. I went in for my 2nd steroid shot and to drop off my 24 hour urine and get labs. I thought they were going to monitor me because I was pretty sure that was what high risk wanted. But they didn't and I didn't even see a doctor. I know I can call at anytime and say I have decreased movement and they will tell me to come in for monitoring but still. My RCS got moved up at Jan 30th when I am 37w1d. The day before the scheduled is full. I know it is just one day but every extra day seems like an eternity when I'm worried about her safety. I go Thursday for a NST but my appointment isn't with one of my favorite OBs. She is okay but not one I can have a candid convo with. I'm tempted to make an appointment just to see one of the OBs that knows me better but that feels silly. I want her to stay in as long as possible but not if it jeopardizes her safety.

tngrl3 I think you should do whatever will ease your mind. If thatโs going in every day then thatโs what you should do. The doctorโs office works for YOU and that includes giving you peace of mind that baby girl is doing well. Iโve seen so many different doctors at my practice. I can relate to not getting one of your favorites and feeling like your hands are tied. Sending so many hugs and โค๏ธ

tngrl3 I'm sorry, it's such a difficult time!! Your Dr was comfortable with monitoring you in the hospital until delivery, I'm sure you are well within reason to be monitored as regularly as you choose. It can be so hard to self advocate and navigate the health system with providers who are less welcoming and understanding, especially when we're feeling at our most weak and vulnerable. Sometimes it helps me to put on a tough act of brave Mama Bear, with no qualms making clear demands because baby is the #1 priority and if I make someone uncomfortable or think negatively about me, too bad for them! If your instincts are telling you you need something for peace of mind, that's not selfish for you, that is responding to your instincts to protect baby's safety.

The cramping is real today. It's calmed down finally but man, it was persistent this morning. Enough so that my mom kept bugging me to go home for the day or get checked out. I didn't think either was necessary and it seems I was right. A is definitely moving less than normal today but I'm still getting my kick counts so I'm just going to ignore everything and hope the end of the work day comes quickly.

I hit a wall yesterday at work. It's an old building, so heat regulation is iffy at best. It was over 80 degrees all day and I swelled up like crazy. Add to that back pain, wrist pain, heartburn and coughing, and it was awful. This morning I asked for a WFH arrangement two days a week, and to my surprise, my otherwise inflexible boss agreed to give it a try. So that's good! I didn't think I could make it another month like this and was considering going on leave early.

Omg yโall. The pelvic pain Iโve been having has gotten so much worse in the last few days. I think I may have SPD. I certainly had aches and pains with DD but nothing like this. Itโs not just uncomfortable moving in bed at night now, itโs legit painful. Getting out of bed 5-6x at night is the freaking worst. Walking up the stairs and getting in and out of the car has really been starting to hurt as well. The pain is mostly just above my vag and between my vag and my legs. Just feels like the muscles are about to rip apart. I still have 3 weeks and some change until my DD but Iโm wondering if the pain has gotten so bad lately because sheโs so low already - she was 0 station last week when I was checked. Ugh I really want to enjoy these last couple weeks or so the best I can, especially knowing this is our last but being in pain most of the day and all night is making that difficult ๐ข
