Week/fruit/EDD: 20w3d/sweet potato/ July 12
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: OB on Thursday and anatomy scan Friday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Finding out finally this week!!
Milestones: I’ve reached the point of people commenting on my belly in public. One of the cashiers at the grocery store I see at least weekly was all OMG you are pregnant?!? Lol
Symptoms: Mostly just exhausted. My hips and pelvis are also pretty angry these days. I got a belly support belt the other day and I’m hoping it will help on days I’m on my feet a lot.
Rants: Just generally uncomfortable. I wake up all night long because my hips hurt no matter what position I try to sleep in.
Raves: Just excited about the anatomy scan this week. Also, DS is super cute and talks to the baby.

FTM, etc: STM Appointments: GTT in 2 weeks Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink Milestones: A great AS with better than expected results! I'm starting to feel movement despite my anterior placenta although it stresses me out when she decides to have a quiet day...like today:/ Symptoms: Nausea, sore hips and boobs, still throwing up (yay), constipation, I'm sure there's more. Rants: I hate that there are days where I can't feel her. It stresses me out and makes me think there is something wrong. Now that I've gotten attached I am constantly worried. Raves: I sorted, washed and put away all my 0-6 month clothing. I also bought the only big item I needed so all my baby shopping is officially done. |

Week/fruit/EDD: 14w4d/beet/August 23
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: No baby related appointments other than I am FINALLY doing my bloodwork today.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Green
Milestones: Officially 2nd trimester.
Symptoms: Hunger, I eat 2 breakfasts a day. Nausea? Fatigue, hormonal imbalance?
Rants: I admit I don't eat a large breakfast due to nausea but still I don't enjoy being hangry an hour or 2 later while trying to wrangle a toddler who realizes that they are also hungry.
Raves: I take a bellydancing class and it definitely helps me be aware of how my muscles are doing in the pelvic region. I also tried Bodyfit by Amy's prenatal kickboxing workout and it was really enjoyable and doable for someone lacking coordination like me.

peachesncream: The weather here has made everything icy too. Last night I parked the car in the middle of the driveway because I was frustrated about how I'd readjust while backing up and swing one way because the driveway is mostly ice now. I want to take walks outside without a thousand layers and watching every step!

elodin I noticed you already have a RCS scheduled. My first was breech so I had a CS. I have the option for a VBAC but I’m not sure its the route I want to take. Did you have the option of a VBAC? I’m surprised you’re scheduled out so early. If we do a RCS (which I’m leaning towards) I want to see which doctor is on call which days.

I’m surprised you’re scheduled out so early. If we do a RCS (which I’m leaving towards) I want to see which doctor is on call which days. I had a c-section with my first because she was breech as well. That one was scheduled when I was maybe 30 weeks because chances were she wasn't turning herself at that point. My water ended up breaking at 37+4 with her so that appointment went out the window lol. I wanted a VBAC with my second, but he was really comfy in there and didn't come before I was 40 weeks so I had another C. That one was scheduled really far out too. Your risk for uterine rupture is higher after 40 weeks so my doctors don't recommend a VBAC after that point. I was fine with it since my first was pretty much a breeze. I did have a tiny bit of disappointment that I didn't get a chance to deliver the way I really wanted. But it was a fleeting feeling. This time around I want a tubal since we are absolutely done. So it just seems like the easiest way. I wouldn't be against a VBAC if I go into labor before my RCS. But I haven't asked about the risks. I'm also a little nervous about trying to deliver a big baby vaginally and then winding up having to have a c-section anyway. I think my office just likes to have the surgery on the books just in case and also to make sure you are with a doctor you know. Since my first was basically unplanned I had only met the doctor doing my surgery maybe twice. He's a great doctor and wonderful surgeon so I wasn't worried. The second time was with the doctor I saw throughout that entire pregnancy which was great. This one is scheduled with one of the doctors I see regularly. |

cookswithwine I am having a RCS as well. My OB won't book it until I'm closer to 30 weeks. It will be scheduled with him for 39 weeks so I know my date will likely be June 24th or 25th.

Week/fruit/EDD: 19+3, Mango, 7/21 (will be induced at 39 weeks or before)
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: 3/4 (OB 20 week visit), 3/12 (GD # check), 3/18 (growth scan)
Team: Blue
Milestones: Feeling movement most days (and freaked out on days I don't).
Symptoms: Tired, looking pretty pregnant now
Rants: GD sucks but I'm dealing with it. Annoyed that I can't go to Florida on a work trip in April due to Zika risk (both my OB and my MFM advised better to skip the trip if it's not mandatory). We have a trip planned to a marina resort in Maryland for Memorial Day so I'm hoping that doesn't get nixed...I can't spend the entire early summer inside.
Raves: Had an appt with my MFM yesterday and she was pleased with my blood glucose numbers. She actually said I'm being *too* strict and I need to have more carbs with dinner especially and a better snack in the evenings. She suggested ice cream so who am I to deny?! She is still planning on inducing at 39 weeks at the latest, which is fine by me because I'm a planner. There's a part of me that wants to know what it's like to actually go into labor, but the bigger part of me knows that I like knowing exactly how things will go, so this works out.

Ugh @frank that is so frustrating. CDC says there were no mosquito borne cases of Zika in the continental US in 2018 so I just thought it wasn't a thing here anymore. What are pregnant people in Florida supposed to do? 🙄

@frank thats surprising... I had a trip to Jamaica that we cancelled due to Zika (our office had a confirmed case the day that I asked) but she didn't take issue with travel to Orlando, Florida in April.

What are pregnant people in Florida supposed to do? 🙄 I mean I thought the same thing. She basically said it's just not worth the risk, and since it's not a mandatory trip that if I can send someone else in my place, that would be her advice. She did say that her recommendation is based on it being a coastal location, so places like Orlando would likely be fine. She said she recently had a patient who went to a country with no known risk and she had an abnormal test result so she's just being extra cautious, which I appreciate even though I'm annoyed on my own behalf. |

Week/fruit/EDD: 17 tomorrow
FTM, etc: baby 3
Appointments: Friday. I am excited.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: I look pregnant now
Symptoms: pelvic separation, nausea, still diarrhea
Rants: so many
Raves: I ordered my new stroller, diaper bag, and a support belt for my poor self.
I might be going for a VBAC, it depends on how my BP goes, if I get preeclampsia, etc. If baby can stay in until 39 weeks I'll do an induction but before that I'm opting for RCS. Providers have been pushing for an induction over a c section and I'm worried I'll have another "are you sure you don't want to induce" on delivery day if I choose RCS.

@frank that’s surprising to me... considering I’m pg and I live in coastal FL lol. Not in Miami but there aren’t any Zika cases in Miami either. Obv I would follow your doctors instructions but I think she’s being overly cautious.
