Week/fruit/EDD: 33w3d, celery, 11/8 (RCS 11/1)
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: OB next tuesday, another growth scan 10/14
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink!
Milestones: she's still huge - not sure what else
Symptoms: I'm so uncomfortable. I was having a lot of BH and cramping late last week and could barely walk because of back pain this weekend. I was really worried that she was coming soon, but my back is feeling a little better now so fx she stays in there a while longer.
Rants: This is the part of pregnancy that I hate. Being so uncomfortable and 2nd guessing everything
Raves: DH really stepped up the past few days and has been doing all the picking up of my girls so I don't hurt my back any worse
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more? This is our last...I am pretty sure at least. I turned 40 in June and do not love being pregnant so I'm 95% sure this is the last one. Plus daycare is super expensive for multiple kids.

Week/fruit/EDD: 32+3. 11/15, but being induced by 11/8 if baby isnt here by then
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: 10/6 for BPP and NST
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones: did I share I was released by MFM? Other than that, I've got nothing.
Symptoms: shortness of breathe, heartburn
Rants:
Raves:
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more? I'm open to more, but due to our infertility issues who knows. We have 1 more frozen embryo we plan to use, but if that doesnt work this will probably be my last. For now I'm ok with that and just viewing this as my last pregnancy and trying to enjoy it.

Week/fruit/EDD: 31w4d/coconut
FTM, etc: 3tm
Appointments: Friday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: hmmm...idk
Symptoms: indigestion I think?, some painful kicks, bellybutton pain
Rants: starting to get uncomfortable if I can't stretch out when I want to it isn't bad tonight, but I really need this bellybutton pain to go away and stay away
Raves: feeling like I'm at a point where it's ok to and reasonable to buy things.
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more?
We will see. My biggest hesitations with this baby were going back to being sleep deprived, my H handling newborn stress not so well, and my frustration with losing weight postpartum. If all of those things go better than expected, I'd consider it. H is still talking about trying for a girl.

Week/fruit/EDD: 26+1 / bowling pin / 12/30
FTM, etc: second
Appointments: I went to the lab for my 1hr GTT this morning. Fx that goes well. I see the OB in 2 weeks.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: Last week of second trimester, that's hard to believe! And my RCS is officially scheduled for 12/23.
Symptoms: Lots of movement, some heartburn in the last few weeks, interrupted sleep. I'm moving slower and becoming less flexible, general pregnancy things. The chiropractor has helped a whole lot in terms of keeping the aches and pains to a minimum. It helps that this little boy is not as big as his brother was.
Rants: I have a cold; that can gtfo any time. Also I really want it to be fall. It was 91 yesterday and we have a wedding to attend this weekend. It will be 90. I don't like it.
Raves: Mh and I went on a little getaway to NYC over the weekend and that was nice. We took M to the fair the next day and that was fun but also hot.
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more?
Closed for business. We are done and I am thrilled.

Week/fruit/EDD: 30 weeks, cantaloupe, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: This morning (everything’s good), and again in two weeks. Then I get a growth scan! My last baby was on the bigger side so I’m curious to see how this one’s measuring.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: SPD, trouble sleeping
Rants: I had to be up early this morning so OF COURSE every little thing woke me up last night. Husband snoring, kids coughing (then one fell out of bed), having to pee a million times despite not drinking much last night, and loud thunder. I am dragging today.
Raves: Going for walks and stretching a bit seems to help the SPD.
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more?
99.5% sure this is our last. H has mentioned a 4th to have an even number, but idk, man. He’s not the one who has to be pregnant and it’s been physically harder with each pregnancy.

Week/fruit/EDD: 30 weeks/a bunch of broccoli/Dec 4th
FTM, etc: 2nd
Appointments: tomorrow
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones: hands are fully formed and fingernails are growing
Symptoms: nothing aside from a lot of fairly aggressive kicking
Rants: this baby is measuring a week ahead and I'm trying not to stress about it but I failed the 3 hr gtt so in the back of my head I worry that I did something wrong.
Raves:
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more?
Even though I am way more anxious this pregnancy than with my first, I would be open to a 3rd child. My H however, is not, so I'm 99.99999999999% sure we're done.

sundog, totally agree that each pregnancy has gotten worse. And my husband's pregnancy sympathy and helpfulness has gotten less with each kid as well. I told him I would consider another one if he could figure out how to carry it for 9 months.

elle Either way, you did nothing wrong. I have had a perfectly average sized baby, a huge baby, and now a small baby and I don't feel like I've done anything differently with my pregnancies (except I worked out more with #1 because I wasn't high risk). If you do have GD, it's how your body is processing an otherwise normal diet that is the issue, not that you are eating "wrong." Are you scheduled to take the 1 hour?

If you do have GD, it's how your body is processing an otherwise normal diet that is the issue, not that you are eating "wrong." Are you scheduled to take the 1 hour? I just found out I failed the 3 hour test last week. I think I'm worried because I just hit 30 weeks and now is the time that baby starts to grow a lot and gain weight. On the other hand, I only failed by a few points and so far my sugars seem fine eating what I've been eating, so I'm probably just letting my anxiety get the better of me. Im trying to keep in mind that my first baby measured ahead and we were expecting and 8lbs+ baby when she was actually born at 6lbs15, so definitely smaller that what I was prepared for. |

notblanche I'm sorry. Did you have GD with #1? From looking at my bloodwork, I think I may be anemic too. My doctor didn't call about it but I plan to ask on Friday.

It'll be fine either way but I'm mostly annoyed about having to spend another day out of the office, to sit at LabCorp all morning. With M, I failed the 1-hour but then passed the 3-hour with flying colors. I only failed this time by four points (cut off, 139 and my number was 143) so I'm hopeful I guess. |

That happened to me with T. I made my H go with me so I didn't have to alone. Hope it turns out ok! |

notblanche, jnetx I am also anemic. I am taking Slow FE iron pills and vitamin C gummies daily. Supposedly the gummies help with absorption and also minimize any side effects. I ordered both off Amazon.

Week/fruit/EDD: 26w, EDD Jan 1
FTM, etc: 4tm
Appointments: Oct sometime...
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones:
Symptoms: Heartburn, tired
Rants: I need to go take my GD test and have my blood drawn again. We didn't get to schedule the C/s as the Dr's schedule wasn't out yet. My mom keeps bugging me about Christmas plans and knowing when this baby will get out will help tremendously.
Raves: Dr has me taking vitamin D to help with Depression. I didn't mention that I have been mopey and lacking motivation but perhaps my attitude showed through. I quit my job. I was finding it too hard to balance everything; moving, kids, pregnancy, working and life.
GTKY: Is this your last child or are you open to more? I'm on the fence and Dh is good with whatever I decide. I love being pregnant, but I think 4 is my limit. I would like another boy though....

I ordered both off Amazon. Yes, same! Well I got mine from Target but iron pills and vit C gummies. I also went ahead and started with the stool softeners. |

My doctor said my numbers were borderline, so I'm just going to try to eat some more red meat/spinach/etc. for now.
