How far along are you? 25w2d
Appointments coming up? GTT on Monday
How are you feeling? Feeling good, I have been tired and the RL pain has been daily, maybe baby girl is sitting low?
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Hoping I pass my 1hr on Monday, I failed it with my 1st pregnancy. They now send out for labs instead of doing the finger prick in the office, they said it is more accurate so hoping it helps.

How are you feeling? Ok. I've got some really fun constipation happening at the moment which is making my whole stomach hurt, but other than that not too bad.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I passed my glucose test.
QOTW: What is one random thing about you? I have a lot of useless knowledge about tv shows, movies and what actors or actresses played in various things.

How far along are you? 27w Appointments coming up? Going to do my GD test tomorrow How are you feeling? Still really good for the most part. Had great stamina for my hike last night. My biggest complaint this week is the rib pain right under my boobs. I think I had too much couch time because if I'm sitting up straight, or standing, it feels a lot better. So far so good today though. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada. Haven't weighed myself in awhile either QOTW: What is one random thing about you? I ran a half marathon at Disneyworld back in 2015 (and then started TTC right afterwards!)

How far along are you? 27+3
Appointments coming up? Hematologist tomorrow. OB with an ultrasound on Friday.
How are you feeling? Other than the pain I'm still having in my leg, fine.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I've updated plenty about the DVT issue. I guess the other tidbit was that I (barely) failed the 1hr glucose test, so I have to do the 3hr next week.
QOTW: What is one random thing about you? Heightened sense of smell during pregnancy had no impact on me because I have a super strong sense of smell to begin with. If I go to Subway, I'll smell it on my clothes for the rest of the day.

How are you feeling? Good and bad. My body is definitely caving in on itself a lot sooner this time. Irritable ute and aches and pains. Is it November yet?
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I let the doula I met with know I plan to hire her last night! Hoping to get her ball rolling on that this week.

blabbermouth, H and I went to Disneyland and ran a half marathon the month leading up to TTC with DD. It was a nice little last hurrah before having kids. Plus all the parents at Disney with strollers and kids hanging off them looked miserable, but we had a blast!

How far along are you? 27w2d
Appointments coming up? Quiet week for me, but next week is busy busy busy. Monday - GD test, Tuesday - midwife 28 week check up, hoping I'm not measuring to far ahead, Wednesday - whooping cough jab. I had a dead arm for a good day with DS pregnancy so expecting the same.
How are you feeling? Just tired mainly. Heartburn on and off throughout the day. Never comfy anymore.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Had my 4D scan on Saturday, best thing ever. Loved seeing her lovely little lips and nose. Can't wait to see her (I can wait 10 weeks though, you aren't coming out early little girl!!)

How far along are you? 27w 2d
Appointments coming up? Next Wednesday ... I'll have my 1 hour GTT and get my Tdap vaccine. I've taken the day off from work and plan to go shopping after eating. I'm looking forward to the solo shopping time.
How are you feeling? Today I'm very tired and feel like I have a cold. Generally speaking, the tired feeling is consistent most days. I've been having a decent amount of BHs and heartburn is still an issue at night.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope. Other than DS has settled on the fact that the baby is a girl. (Team green -- so we have no clue lol).
QOTW: What is one random thing about you? I hate putting dishes in the dishwasher. It's occasionally a point of contention in my marriage and I just say "what about getting married made you think I'd magically start putting the dishes in the dishwasher?!" And dh shuts up.

Appointments coming up? Thursday. Just a check in with my OB and my usual shot. GD test in 2 weeks.
How are you feeling? Anywhere from, "This is the end and nothing will ever get any better," to "Meh."
I think I'm developing heartburn/reflux. I'm not to the point of feeling like I have to medicate, it's just annoying.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Too soon to tell.
QOTW: What is one random thing about you?I've lived in 3 different states. 4 if you count a summer I spent in California.

How are you feeling? Good. TMJ is acting up so I have to use a mouth guard at night. But not many complaints.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I've already gained 30lbs so far 😳 I usually gain a lot during pregnancy and lose it quickly but it still is rough seeing that scale.

cnf, My H just met with his first triathalon coach this weekend. He really wants me to do it with him but I'm not sure I can hang! How long have you been coaching? jj32, solidarity for the RL pain.

I started racing triathlons in 2012 and got USAT certified in 2014. Anyone can do a sprint tri, really truly!

How far along are you? 25w3d
Appointments coming up? Not until the 24th. It has been a long time where I haven't had an appointment every week. (weekly shot not counted)
How are you feeling? Currently sick with stomach virus. Otherwise super tired and huge.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My MFM is no longer monitoring me for pre-term labor, I have been turned back over to my regular OB for that. She said there is less than 5% chance I will go before 32 weeks based on my cervix measurements and the progesterone. The baby's heart VSD is mild enough that I don't have to go back for that for another 5 weeks. Overall it was a great appointment.
QOTW: What is one random thing about you? I have to be careful about things that I think about because they tend to come true. (I had PERFECT cycles before TTC with no history of any issues at all but I was convinced we would have fertility issues - which we did for both kids, just as an example) This could very well be coincidence but I don't mess around with it, for good or evil. This thing sponsored by the Unsolved mystery/ghost story thread on GD.

roloma I hope you feel better soon! Stomach problems are the worst. But awesome news that they aren't monitoring you for preterm labor anymore! And, I can't read that thread anymore cause I will have nightmares forever.

Plus all the parents at Disney with strollers and kids hanging off them looked miserable, but we had a blast! I did a Ragnar race the month before I got KU with DD! On my bucket list! I've done Seneca7 twice, the first time while pregnant with DD, which is a similar race, but only 77 miles done in one day.

How far along are you? 27 weeks today! Any appts coming up? None for 2 weeks.
How are you feeling? No big complaints. Heartburn had decreased to "trigger foods only", meaning I can now drink water without heartburn! A little tired, but who isn't?!
Updates/tidbits from recent appts? I have my GD test next time, so fingers crossed. This is my second of the pregnancy- with twins, my doctors test earlier as well.
Also, we are set to tour the hospital in under 2 weeks! We're going to a different hospital than with DS, so I wanted to see everything. That will make it feel real!
Random thing about me- I'm the person that people randomly tell things to. Like on planes, Starbucks, etc - I end up learning life stories. Apparently, I look approachable (and often forget headphones)!

How far along? 27+4
Appointments? Tomorrow! Just a regular OB appointment. He'll give me the results of my glucose test, which I did weeks ago so everything is obviously fine or he'd have called. Otherwise it will likely be another 5 minute appointment - measure belly, listen to heartbeat, ask questions, off you go. I think this is where I switch to every two weeks?
I do have to ask him how long I should be taking baby aspirin. He didn't give me a stopping date but it's not ideal to be taking it when there's a chance of going into labour.
Feeling? Big, mostly. I definitely have a waddle by the end of the day. I keep underestimating the size of my belly and bumping into things (like DD, who gets bumped in the head daily). Heartburn is off and on, itchiness is off and on, I actually have a shocking amount of energy most of the time and I'm still sleeping okay. It's a party in my uterus sometimes. Forgot how weird that feels. And my boobs are doing some weird things but I assume normal. Eh.
What's getting to me the most right now is the swelling. The last few days it's really taken off. By the end of the day, my legs and ankles are uncomfortable because of the swelling. I hate the feeling of moving my foot when my ankles are swollen. Last night it was pitting, but I'd also been sitting in one spot playing board games and hadn't put my feet up, so I'm not worried. Going to move a stool under my desk to start putting my feet up.
Random thing about me? I was partially named after General Robert E. Lee because my father is a weird American history buff.

I don't even have an approachable face. I have a really serious RBF issue. People still tell me their life story. Maybe they're trying to cheer me up? I am too awkward and polite to ignore them.

I did a Ragnar race the month before I got KU with DD! On my bucket list! I've done Seneca7 twice, the first time while pregnant with DD, which is a similar race, but only 77 miles done in one day. It was so tiring but so much fun. My last leg was a gorgeous 7 miles starting at the glider port in La Jolla and down into downtown, so basically running along the prettiest part of San Diego. I did feel bad for the guy before me who ran UP to the glider port, lol.

ow far along are you? 26w 6d I'm 2/3 or 67% of the way to meeting this tiny baby
Appointments coming up? Not until next week, with GD test. Not excited, pretty sure I will fail.
How are you feeling? Heartburn is keeping me up, nothing triggers it, so yay pregnancy. Pretty sure I need to get my rx refilled. I'm definitely feeling RLP and other tightening under my belly. Went to stand up today and had to sit back down to breathe through it, just really bad tightening on my lower left - pretty sure it is from my right hip aches.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Scheduled our hospital tour. We delivered DS3 there, but that wasn't the plan (original choice was too full). So I'm excited to get to see everything instead of wandering aimlessly.
QOTW: What is one random thing about you? My memory and attention span are horrible, but I rock at bar trivia - or at least I used to once upon a time.

No protein! Normal blood pressure! They're okay with my weight gain! This is all good news. Five minute appointment, as per. She did not tell me my fundal height but was fine with it too. Laughing because blabbermouth I was just told to start taking iron supplements because of my low levels. XD But she said it's really just so I feel better, there's no risk to baby.
