So my appt this morning with the MFM went ok. Baby girl's kidney is definitely improving but it's still larger than they'd like to see at this point so she's going to have to get on antibiotics at birth and be seen by a pediatric urologist shortly thereafter. The dr seemed pretty confident though that the issue will resolve on its own as she grows, so that's good.
Other than that, baby looks good. She's actually measuring a little behind which is strange because she's consistently been measuring ahead. She's 6lb7oz and is projected to be about 7.5lbs at birth.

I've been feeling kind of blah and huge. My blood pressure reading at my appointment on Monday was slightly higher than normal. I've been stressing about that and my weight gains. Plus, my vision seems a little off. I have an ultrasound Monday, so hopefully everything is good.

What's up with everybody's BP?? We all anxious about when our babies will make their appearance? My BP was higher then it's been so far in my pg but still good so nothing to worry about luckily.. at least no one seemed concerned LOL!

I baked chocolate chip&hazelnut cookies today. Somehow they ended up overcooking a bit (even though I followed the time and temp on the recipe.. maybe my oven runs a little higher??) and they're pretty hard boo. Nonetheless I ate 2 (or maybe 3? I forget for real!) and now I'm feeling somewhat nauseous lol.

Had my MFM appointment yesterday. Babies look great on biophysical and baby girl is measuring at 6lb 4oz and baby boy at 6lb 9oz so they are both a good size.
My BP was okay yesterday and today so I'll continue to hang on and just keep checking.
My concern is that my feet are getting super swollen, even after short periods of time. But it's been really hard to keep my feet up all day.

I have my appt this afternoon. I feel so shitty like seriously guys my ass is broken. Prep h is doing nothing, in going to ask if there is a prescription or something.
I have been monitoring my BP cuz I started getting a little ankle swelling and random headaches but it has been ok. My pulse rate was high yesterday, mine tends to run a little high but this was over 100 so not sure what's up with that

This happened to me earlier on, prep h was a joke. I used some witch hazel wipes which eh, and some lidocaine cream. I went to my GI Dr and saw a colorectal surgeon bc the pain was so bad, and they recommended to keep doing lidocaine. It helped but not a ton. And then just stool softeners and Metamucil for prevention but it honestly just took time for the hemhorroids to heal to the point where they didn't hurt. I still have some, they just don't cause pain, and my Dr said some of them may never go away bc of baby's position and how they got there ☹️ I hope the pain goes down for you. I found wrapping my snoogle around and sitting in the middle of the hole helpful or side lying with pillows between my legs to help a little. I cried a lot for like 5 days.

jt2378 so sorry you are feeling sooo miserable. I hope the dr can help you with something! In the past what helped for me was a lido cream (helped some) and metamucil and lots of fiber a in my diet and keeping up my fluids. Oddly enough for me it usually isnt constipation that causes them but diarrhea.. cept now while pregnant it s been both at times.

I have IBS-D so in the past it was D and then this pregnancy I've had a lot of constipation but what triggered my awful, see the dr, crowed for five days and had to call off work episode was actually diarrhea and then what kept it going was the swing back to constipation. Pregnancy is SO glamorous!!

Oh man ladies it's not even hemmies, I burst into tears so she checked right away. Said oh no, asked to bring her colleague in because she was concerned about an abscess. So she checks, says she needs to do a rectal and then they leave to convene and discuss. They said they think it's a super swollen blood vessel basically from my labia to the back of my pubic bone near my ass. Omg no treatment really except ice packs and maybe maternity belt to alleviate pressure. I'm pretty miserable right now.
Oh and I'm 3 cm and 75%effaced 😬

jt2378 sorry to hear, but luckily it isn't an abscess. I know that there isn't any real treatment, but hopefully you can find a way to alleviate the pain and uncomfortable feeling!

Omg jt2378 I'm so sorry. I forgot about ice packs! I for some ice pack pads and just kept them in my pants (even at work when I could get away with it if I was going to be alone for awhile). I'm glad it's not an abcess, though. But holy moly to that pain being a blood vessel Sending you hugs and healing vibes...

What would you ladies say term is? This is so dumb but we never did a pregnancy announcement bc of loss brain and sensitivity to posting about pregnancy on social media, so I never got to do the one idea I had. But now that I'm 37w tomorrow, I kind of want to post SOMETHING -- like, " made it to term! " or something. But at what week should I do that? What if I don't make it to my Edd? This is such a dumb problem...
