Got my first unsolicited bump touch today by a former coworker and the comments have started. “That’s gonna be a big baby”. “You’re due in August?”’ Ugh. I hate the comments!! peachesncream we are planning some outdoor time on Sunday bc it’s supposed to be nice. And I have a hair appointment on Saturday. Looking forward to some fresh highlights and a nice trim. |

peachesncream we’ll probably go to a work-related picnic on Saturday. I’m not really excited about seeing work people on an off day, but it’s at a nice park and they’re catering from a local bbq place. Also emergency vehicles and possibly a helicopter will be there, so DS will be thrilled. Sunday I’m taking DS to his friend’s birthday party.

friendofdobby: So helpful!  peachesncream: It's my goddaughter's baptism this weekend so we will be heading there tomorrow. Here's hoping that DD does really well on the long drive there & back.

My mom loves to touch my stomach without being asked. I know it’s my mom but it makes me uncomfortable. I invite her to touch when he’s active but she does it all the time. She’s a very sensitive person so it’s not even worth bringing up.

I’m in nesting mode. We got the pack n play set up in a cleared out space in DS’s room last weekend. Today we moved a huge desk out of our room and ordered the crib.

Why is no one from earlier BMB posting birth stories anymore? I love reading birth stories while pregnant.

cookswithwine: I never posted mine with DD because I only wrote it this year. My group moved to FB so it seemed weird to post and I was embarrassed it to me so long to be able to finish it.

We are mostly/all ST+Ms here, right? We could have a previous birth story thread! I need to find mine in all the previous TD/TCF/whatever iterations, anyway.

peachesncream I'd be up for a previous birth story thread! It would be fun to compare them as we start getting new stories on here:)

Ugh, doctor today guessed that baby is breech. I am 30 weeks, so I know there is plenty of time for baby to move, but I'm frustrated to be going through this again! My stubborn DD3 was breech until 36 weeks or so and I spent a lot of time freaking out about it 😂🙄

DD1 was breech too, and I spent a lot of time with a bag of frozen peas up by my ribs where her head was 😂. I also tried a lot of ridiculous inversions trying to get her to turn! I hope your little one flips soon!! |

It would be my luck that the longest pregnancy I have is also breech so VBAC wouldn't be an option 🙄 |

I think baby is still breech based on getting kicked in the cervix and bladder all the time. I really hope he turns so I have a chance at a VBAC.

peachesncream Baby just turned recently and was finally head down at today's appointment. I'm 34+2 today and honestly did not think she was going to turn!

I just want to sit here and eat Doritos. I am now remembering that the MW said something about not eating heavy foods before the GD test, which I will hopefully do this afternoon... so yet another reason to find something healthier to eat.
Advantage to rolled Doritos: DD doesn't seem to know that they're chips or doesn't care and asked me for crackers when she saw me eating. She's happy with Ritz and grapes.
Baby was sitting in a high but clearly head down position this weekend and then yesterday slid back down. I don't know if it's a coincidence that I took off my support band on Monday (it needs a wash) and that the taping for my scoliosis basically fell off yesterday.

Anyone else carrying super low? I carried high with DS so this is a new experience. I’m so uncomfortable and feel like my pubic bone is going to split in half, especially when I try to get up from lying down. I need to try my supper belt out to see if that helps. @kore is your support band helping with discomfort?

friendofdobby: I think so because I do have more back/sciatica issues when I don't. I don't know if it would have helped when baby was hanging out super low. sammysam: Solidarity. I don't have the feeling all the time but with BH I waddle through. DH was like "why are you so far behind us?" And I was like "well I'm having a contraction so this is the speed I can move at right now!"

I am trying to deal with it for school and I have to do stuff I feel is so dumb like email my professors to officially declare my pregnancy. HELLO YOU HAVE SEEN ME YES I AM PREGNANT. DUH. |

That is quite ridiculous! I also just feel like my tolerance for everything is so super low. I’ve sat and cried at the same spot at work 2 weeks in a row. This is not my normal. I don’t like it. |

peachesncream : To your professors? That's weird. I could imagine administration but yeah, ridiculous otherwise! friendofdobby : I'm sorry, that sounds rough. It's frustrating when you need information and the people who should have the answers don't or evade answering. On the note of emotions: Last pregnancy I had a panic attack and called in sick to work because our toilet clogged & overflowed. Pregnancy is hard!

28 weeks today. My body celebrated by giving the worst braxton hick I've had so far. I was literally getting up from the dining room table, nothing crazy to cause it. It makes me want to be a potato and do nothing but eat all day.

@kore I think I have to get a doctor's note for the academic affairs office but then also email my professors letting them know I declared and what accommodations I would like. Really I just want to be excused from class if I go into labor 😂🤷♀️ For the amusement of everyone though, here's the accommodations list. For some reason some of these just cracked me up.  |
