Week/EDD: 27+4, due 6/6

Baby is the size of: a head of cauliflower

FTM

Team: 💙

Appointments: OB on Friday, possibly a counseling appointment earlier in the week

Milestones: officially third trimester!

Symptoms: physical symptoms haven’t changed. Anxiety has been really bad, enough that I want to talk to my doctor about antepartum depression/anxiety.

Rants: DST sucks. I needed more sleep yesterday

Raves: I feel like we’re getting stuff done! And I bought a new maternity/nursing nightgown from Kindred Bravely and it is the softest, most comfortable nightgown. Definitely recommend!

[quinstar]

Week/EDD: 29w 1d

Baby is the size of:

FTM, Etc: STM, DS is 2

Team: Blue

Appointments: Next week

Milestones: I'm trying to decide at what week I can start baby prepping. I have half the hospital bag packed, but about 35 weeks I'll probably finish it with all the important stuff, and then I'll probably get the baby stuff out. I just have to wash clothes, blankets, burp cloths and get them set up. It feels so far away still.

Symptoms: Tired, I feel huge already

Rants: I keep thinking I'm further than I am, I could have sworn I was 30 weeks. I did that at 27/28 weeks too.

Raves: My new couch is coming today, and I can't wait because I have nowhere to sit, lol.

[mamabear02]

Week/EDD: 25w4d June 20

Baby is the size of: Napa cabbage

FTM, Etc: stm

Team: blue

Appointments: March 28th I have an ultrasound and follow up with ob.

Milestones: Passed my GD test!

Symptoms: I’m mostly feeling good lately!

Rants: The owner of our rental house still doesn’t know if he’s selling. I’m irritated now because I haven’t been able to sign the 3yo up for preschool next year and I will be bummed if he can’t stay where he is at (if we are in the area still)

I’m also a little irritated that my ob was so extra cautious and put me through so many extra tests because of one blood pressure reading (instead of just having me come back for a recheck). I am glad she wants to be thorough but it was pretty stressful.

Raves: I don’t have preeclampsia or gestational diabetes! I’m relieved that I’m currently healthy and hoping we don’t have any more scares.

Week/EDD: 31w4d. RCS may 2

Baby is the size of: romaine lettuce

STM

Team green

Appointments: tomorrow

Milestones: hmm none this week

Symptoms: restless leg, moodiness.

Rants: DD had a stomach virus on Friday and I came down with it yesterday. I spent most of last night throwing up. Luckily my mom is watching DD today so I can rest and rehydrate

Raves: Also feeling like I've gotten a lot accomplished recently. Just have to do some baby laundry and install the car seat and set up the pack and play and I should be ready.

[bonzo]

quinstar, new furniture is exciting! We just ordered new deck furniture and I can’t wait to sit on it and enjoy our deck!

mamabear02, I’m so glad everything looked good at your recheck! I know it was extra stressful, but I’d rather be extra cautious with something like preeclampsia.

Week/EDD: 31+3, 5/10

Baby is the size of: romain lettuce

FTM, Etc: TTM, DD 4, DS 2

Team: green

Appointments: Friday

Milestones: na

Symptoms: heartburn. I may have had a few Braxton Hicks. I think that is normal at this point.

Rants: sick of fighting my fasting numbers. My after meal numbers are great.

Raves: DS keeps touching me on my arm and leg, and saying "baby is not in mommies arm, baby is not in mommies leg, baby is in mommies tummy" which I think is so cute.

[onesweetworld]

So many blue and green moms in here!

I’m team pink! 💕

[bonzo]

onesweetworld, I think we might have one other Team Pink in here somewhere...but yeah, we have a lot of boys coming in this group!

[onesweetworld]

I’ll check in for those of you who don’t know me. I was pretty active on TCF but when we moved here most of the pregnancy board went to Facebook and it’s hard to keep up with multiple places but I miss the forums!

Week/EDD: 29+2/EDD is 5/25 but I will go early as I am a high risk pregnancy.

Baby is the size of: Pineapple 🍍

FTM, Etc: STM. I have an April 17 DD.

Team: Pink 💕💕

Appointments: I failed my 1 hour glucose so I have a sugar check on 3/27. I opted out of the 3 hour and I’m checking my sugars 4x per day for 2 weeks.

Milestones: I “graduated” (for now) from the MFM as my OB is comfortable handling my BP issues as the are currently controlled on meds.

Symptoms: All of them!?! LOL. Can’t sleep, sweating all night, not comfortable. I am enjoying the constipation from the iron supplements 👎🏻

Rants: See Symptoms LOL. I had a really great rant tonight to my mom about healthcare costs and how much having children has cost/will cost me in medical bills. (I pay for the most expensive insurance my work has and I still have so many additional fees on top of my coverage.)

Raves: less than 10 weeks!!!!

[midnight]

Week/EDD: 28w, 6/4

Baby is the size of: A Rollerblade

FTM, Etc:ttm

Team: Blue

Appointments: Next week, I am starting my every two week appts...which is slightly terrifying and exhilarating!

Milestones: 3rd tri!

Symptoms: Back/hip pain

Rants: nada much!

Raves: nada!

[Deleted]

I hope it is ok that I jump in!

Week/EDD: 28 + 1 / June 3

Baby is the size of: a coconut

FTM, Etc: FTM

Team: Pink

Appointments: nothing until the 28th! I am on a 5 week break from appointments and I am glad. They did have me coming in every 2-3 weeks and it was getting to be annoying. Soon enough it will be every 2 weeks again, so I am enjoying it while I can.

Milestones: 3rd trimester!

Symptoms: nothing new, just a lot of Braxton Hicks and being tired!

Rants: my shower is at the end of the month, and some people who have been invited keep asking what I need. Why does no one bother with the registry? That is what I need, go look at it! I will be happy to get anything, but at the same time, that’s why it’s there.

Raves: nothing at the moment

[bonzo]

Welcome, @bonnieparker! Another FTM!

Thank you!

Week/EDD: 25w5d 6/21 RCS week before

Baby is the size of: prairie dog lol

FTM, Etc: STM, DS 3, 4th pregnancy

Team: PINK!

Appointments: tomorrow along with GTT

Milestones: viability!!

Symptoms: restless legs, indigestion, insomnia, leg numbness in right leg (some long name for this I can't remember lol)

Rants: the indigestion sucks. I remember this starting around now with F too.

Raves: our IKEA furniture is being delivered today which means we can finish our basement Reno, work on moving the playroom, and finally get this little lady her bedroom.

[bearfootzcontinued]

Week/EDD: almost 24 weeks

Baby is the size of: Barbie doll

FTM, Etc: TTM

Team: Green

Appointments: OB check on Friday

Milestones: viability

Symptoms: Lots of round ligament pain and have been having some issues walking - feels like my hip bone doesn't want to hold my leg bone in (I'm sure those aren't the exact medical terms). Google tells me it's from the relaxin hormone. Nurse recommended an abdominal binder. Thinking I'll ask the doc on Friday if PT might help, but thankfully it's not so bad today.

Rants: I'm annoyed with my coworkers lately and part of me really wishes I could stay at home after baby arrives. But then the logical part of me knows that I don't want to give up the financial security and that I'm not my best self when home with an infant all day and that there are aspects of my job that I really enjoy. I just need to figure out a way to find more of a balance and not let other people get to me.

Raves: DD insisted that we rearrange her room and setup the crib that DH's cousin gave us. Seems early yet, but seeing the crib makes it feel a little bit more real and helps calm my nerves about where we're going to fit everything. Now to figure out how to organize the closet. Several family members have offered us gear which will be a huge cost savings. I know it seems so far away but I pointed out to DH that there's really only 16 weekends left at max and several of those we are booked so we'd better get going and surprisingly he listened.

[lolacachia]

bearfootzcontinued I keep telling H that the weeks are ticking down. We have max 13 left to basically rearrange our entire house. He works a lot of hours and is tired.. but take me seriously man!

[bearfootzcontinued]

Ok, ignore my work rant. Just had my review and it was pretty darn good. Plus the bonus should just about cover the unpaid portion of the maternity leave so that's a relief.

[sammysam]

Week/EDD: 24+2/July 1st with RCS June 24th or 25th

Baby is the size of: a demi baguette

FTM, Etc: STM, 4th pregnancy

Team: Pink:)

Appointments: Did my GTT this past Monday and my next OB appointment is the 21st

Milestones: Viability!

Symptoms: Constant nausea. And so tired. But good:)

Rants: DD has had more meltdowns this past week than in her entire life combined. I am hoping this passes before baby gets here. I thought tantrums were finished by 5:/

Raves: I'm feeling constant movement which is amazing. This is exciting for me as I have an anterior placenta (again) so I didn't really feel anything until about a week ago. It is definitely helping with PGAL anxiety!

[bonzo]

I just hit 28 weeks, so my app tells me that baby is now roughly 2.5 lbs, and “may gain another 4 lbs before birth!” LOL, I was 9lbs 8oz at birth, I’m not expecting a dainty 6 lb baby!

[sammysam]

bonzo DD was 8lbs 8oz at birth (40+2) so I'm in the not expecting a 6 to 7 lb baby camp. DD was already too big for NB size clothes when we came home from the hospital 5 days after birth. I'm not even 25 weeks yet and my belly looks like baby is already full term:/

Same in the fact that I look full term. I’m 30w now.
