QOTW: What's your favourite genre of movies?
Sci-fi and fantasy, I like films that take me away from this world

[peggels24]

Hi all - sorry I've been missing recently - work has been crazy busy and then we had a little mini vacation in there.

How far along are you? 28w 4d


Appointments coming up? None until September 7th. I failed my 1 hour glucose test on 8/10 but passed the two hour last week with flying colors


How are you feeling? Pregnant LOL. I'm exhausted, my ankles and feet swell up daily, I have wicked bad heartburn, I have to pee every 5 minutes, I grunt when I bend over and it's hard to balance to wash my feet LOL The funny part is that it all hit me like 2 weeks ago - just woke up one day and realized I was grunting and my ankles were huge!


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not much - everything has been pretty smooth. Just keeping fingers crossed that everything stays that way.


QOTW: What's your favourite genre of movies? I love a good romance. Particularly excited for holiday movie season when I'm on maternity leave.

[misskilljoy]

29+2 today, which is hard to believe!

No appointments until next Monday.

Iron is helping me feel a bit less tired now that I've been taking it for more than a week. Heartburn is crazy. I have all the usual third tri stuff - BH, swelling, sore hips if I walk too much. BP is holding steady around 130/85! I'm still sleeping reasonably well so I'm thankful for that. Baby seems to be wedged under my ribs these days so sitting up is a challenge. I do a lot of reclining.

Favourite genre of movies is definitely sci-fi. Ditto with books. Then horror, fantasy, mystery, drama in pretty much that order. Every now and then I want a mindless comedy to watch, though.

[paperbagliz]

How far along are you? 29 weeks today


Appointments coming up? Next Thursday for growth/fluid measurement US


How are you feeling? I'm good for a couple hours a day but then need to plant myself on the sofa for a while. My OB said maybe a couple more weeks of work.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My fluid didn't jump between the last two appointments, so that's positive. After next week I'll be going to weekly appointments with NSTs and BPPs.


QOTW: What's your favourite genre of movies? Depends on my mood but never anything too violent or scary.

[birdsofafeather]

How are you feeling? having a lot of cramping and BH... chalking it up to normal growing pains. chugging water.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada


QOTW: What's your favorite genre of movies? Comedies for sure. I love to laugh, especially with DW. When she gets tickled at something you can not help but laugh even harder at whatever it is. "The Change Up" is one of our all time favs!

[spacecadet]

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope. Other than needing to be better about what I'm eating lol.

Appointments coming up?
had one this morning. Baby is still head up, she showed me how to feel it, creepy! Also suggested I take some extra iron. BP is still nice and low. She said I'm measuring 30w now, but I definitely feel like she started from lower than my regular mw.
How are you feeling?
I've had a good week, getting lots of exercise and just a bit stiff after helping to sand and stain the deck.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments?
oh, Umm, answered that already.

[cnf]

27+2

Not until the 31st. I had to reschedule my GTT because of my job situation.

So pregnant. My belly popped a bunch this week. And I sneezed today and had a burning sensation shoot across my csection scar and now it's bothering me. So that's fun.

Just crabby that I have to do an evening GTT instead of morning. I'm stressed about how to feed myself prior.

Comedy or romcoms!

[cdnfarmgirl]

How far along are you? 29+4

Commiseration LT. I go in tomorrow to set up my room, not knowing if I'll be back at work on the 5th or not. Part of me wants to go back to start the year, part of me thinks that sounds like a terrible idea. I won't have any updates until next Monday, which will either give me a week to figure out what to teach the first month or my boss a week to find someone to take my class. Not ideal, either way.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not much. I start my 2 week appointments now.

[laurensc927]

How far along are you? 26 + 5

Appointments coming up? 9/1 is the next apt and glucose test

How are you feeling? I feel pretty good still. I just joined a step bet to try to keep my butt off the couch when I get home and get outside with the pups more. I'm hoping once the weather cools down I'll be more motivated too.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Last HB was low 120's but the OB only listened for 30 seconds. Wavering on if I still think this kiddo is a girl, old wives tales tell me no lol.

QOTW: What's your favourite genre of movies? Comedy or Rom Com. My idea of a scary movie is when they don't end up together at the end lol.

Anyone interested in a September Whole 30? I know we've previously discussed doing one after the babes are born but I need to reel in my eating and get back on track before I'm thrown into the chaos of life with a newborn.

How are you feeling? My back has been KILLING me lately. We are moving and DH/my family have been great about not letting me move boxes, but I need to unpack and organize and even all of that activity is making my back flare up. Also, I'm getting tons of stretch marks already. I know that it's all part of being pregnant, but I've never been all "I'm a momma tiger and these are my stripes" so I'm just grumpy about it.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? No

No, it definitely wasn't ideal for me either. Which is why I feel so bad doing it. In the end, I know I needed to make the decision that was best for me and my family. And school would come second. It did help that they had tentatively hired someone for my position already, so knowing that made it a bit easier. I probably could have pushed through, but I finally said why? Why is it worth it? I'm in so much pain. I can't do it. It isn't fair. That was my breaking point and I said screw it, I'm handing in my doctors note.

[quinn]

jj32 have you tried the neti-pot? That always works for me

I wish we could tentatively hire someone for my position, but our contract states that they can only post the job once they know the start and (planned) end date of the assignment. -_-

😬😬😬 ours does too. My admin kinda went under the table and tapped the shoulder of a lady who used to work at our school. So it's all tentative. She could turn around and say no now. It will have to go all official still and be posted.

Yes, I use one daily. Nothing seems to work. I am even on a nasal steroid from dr. I am pretty sure I am having another sinus infection again. I just can't get clear and then it gets infected.

I always have sinus problems too. Hopefully you can get on some antibiotics and it clears up soon. I'm sorry 🙁 not being able to breath when you're already uncomfortable is just torture.
