[thatgolfb]

How far along are you? 29+2


Appointments coming up? Yes, Wednesday! Just a regular appt


How are you feeling? Not too bad. SPD is painful but a friend is sending me a support belt (the one I ordered was way too small). And hot flashes can go straight to hell.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not right now


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) well this is tough. Haha. Both Starbucks and my main/pedis. MIL will be paying for my nails this upcoming weekend, though!

[roloma]

How far along are you? 28w2d


Appointments coming up? Looks like I will have the 3 hour GTT soon. Then a regular OB in two weeks.


How are you feeling? Today, fucking shitty. Most days, mostly ok besides tired and some pelvic floor pain by the end of the day.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Found out today I failed my 1 hour. Everything else seems fine.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I don't really have any right now. Used to be Starbucks and pedicures, but I haven't really had/needed either lately. We do like to go out to dinner on the weekends. I guess that counts.

[quinn]

How far along are you? 27+3


Appointments coming up? Friday. GD test and normal appointment stuff. Then will move on to every 2 weeks.... crazy.


How are you feeling? Good overall. Had a lot of pressure yesterday like he's pushing down. Plus lots of BHs. I'm sure she'll check me Friday to make sure they aren't being productive.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not yet!


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) um everything. I'm a brat lol

[grumpycat]

How far along are you? 30w 1d


Appointments coming up? Not until September 12th.


How are you feeling? Most days I feel pretty well. I'm tired, but that's nothing new. I get really sore at the end of day (back, hips, etc.).


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I passed my 3 hour GTT, so I'm happy about that.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) Hmmmm, not sure if this counts, but I have certain food items that I will not buy the store brand of ... like string cheese or yogurt. I don't like Starbucks' coffee or having my feet touched by anyone but DH. I used to get my hair colored but haven't done that since DS was born. I think I'm lacking in luxuries ha ha.

[blabbermouth]

How far along are you? 29+6

Appointments coming up? Next Tuesday.

How are you feeling? Good. Realizing I have to be more careful when I bend over to pick something up etc. or it hurts! I actually wasn't the first person asleep either night of the girls trip, so yay me. I think I'm finally starting to get hot, although it was pretty hot this weekend, I was trying to work on a painting last night and I ended up in just my bra and shorts b/c apparently painting is active enough to raise my body temperature now, haha.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? It seems like my weight gain is slowing down a bit, so that's a good think I think! I predict 30 lbs in the end. I haven't started my iron supplements yet, which is good b/c I was already constipated on my own. I'll have to start planning out my diet a bit better before I start.

QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc). I always say if DH and I just drank water we'd have millions in the bank. So fancy drinks of all types probably! Otherwise I'm pretty cheap.

[pootsen]

How far along are you? 28w3d


Appointments coming up? This Wednesday - US for heart view recheck from anatomy scan (which seems so long ago!), 1 hr glucose test, TDAP, and OB visit. I'm also excited because DH will be coming along for the first time since our dating scan at 8w.


How are you feeling? More of the same. Larger, more short of breath, more back pain.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I love L'bri skin products and won't use anything else.

[doxiemama]

How far along are you? 29w3d

Appointments coming up? Not until next Friday

How are you feeling? Okay.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Just barely passed my 3 hour glucose test.  1 number was out of range so my doctor told me to be careful and cut back on sugar and carbs.  I'm trying not to be too upset because basically it just means eat a balanced diet and don't binge on crap like I have been.  Going to make an effort to get more meat in my diet.

QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) Iced coffee.  I still go to Starbucks every work day for a decaf iced coffee, and sometimes get one from a local shop on the weekends, too.  Also, chocolate.

[grumpycat]

I figured out my luxury/splurge! Yankee Candles I try to only get them when they are on sale or buy one/get one.

[snuff9861]

How far along are you? 27 + 4


Appointments coming up? One hr glucose and MW on Thursday.


How are you feeling? For the most part ok. My stomach always feels like it's full of gas which is uncomfortable.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Neup.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I don't think I have a regular splurge.

[beefinch]

How far along are you? 30+1, that's crazy that I'm writing 30 now

Appointments coming up?
I have nothing until 34+4, I think I might ring up next week to request an appointment for a check up, I know I'm a STM and all but I still want check ups lol

How are you feeling?
Like I'm being stared at each time I leave the house, because I'm waddling so much because of PGP (pelvic gurdle pain) and because I'm big, I think any person that doesn't know me just expects my waters to break in front of them

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments?
N/A

QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without?
And I've just realised I'm very low maintenance lol. Can buying baby clothes count lol?

[jj32]

How far along are you? 28w1

Appointments coming up? 9/8 is my elective 3D u/s....can't wait!!!

How are you feeling? This past weekend feeling really tired, especially yesterday. Haven't been sleeping that great and I have picked up snoring and my H likes to remind me of that each morning

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? nada, last OB appt was boring, next one is 9/18 then I go bi-weekly

QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I have been splurging on pedicures recently, it feels so good to get my feet rubbed.

[bubbles]

How far along are you? 30+3

Appointments coming up? OB appointment on Thursday. My first 2 week visit.

How are you feeling? Mostly ok besides being uncomfortable but that's pretty much a given at this point. Add me to the over heating club though.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope.

QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I can't think of a regular splurge but I like being able to order delivery or grab takeout when I don't feel like cooking or have a plan for dinner.

[AnnPerkins]

How far along are you? 28w2d


Appointments coming up? Tommorow, just a check in with my OB.


How are you feeling? Tired and emotional. Generally uncomfortable by the end of the day.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I passed my 1 hour glucose test, but I do need to start taking a daily supplement for low iron.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) Is internet a luxury? Because I cannot abide by no wifi.

[misskilljoy]

30+2

No appointments until Sept 11, just had one this AM.

Feeling pretty good. I actually feel less pregnant the last week or so than I had been. Baby must have moved!

Only interesting tidbit is that things are going well. I had some protein in my urine months ago but it's gone. BP is holding out. Haven't been sent for bloodwork because there are no other symptoms of pre-e. I am actually back to measuring on-track after measuring a few weeks ahead for a while. It's all very odd to me because by this point last time things were going haywire.

QOTW: Starbucks and video games are my necessary luxuries. MH and I are buying each other a video game for our birthdays in October. NERDS.

[quinn]

What video game misskilljoy?

Appointments coming up? GTT and tdap Thursday. I'll probably ask for my flu shot too. Yolo.

How are you feeling? Exhausted. Broken. So pregnant. My pelvic joints are dying.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) me time to go running? I'm not a luxuries type of person.

[clucky]

How far along are you? 29w4d


Appointments coming up? Apparently Thursday 😂


How are you feeling? Pretty good. I could do without the heartburn, hemis, groin/rlp stuff, waddling by end of day and exhaustion, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? We have a few more u/s scheduled to check in kidney and brain sizes, trying not to stress out about it.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) Does the chocolate milk at Costco count? Because holy crap that stuff is amazing, like a liquid fudge bar.

[roloma]

cnf, does your office already have flu shots in stock? My office said it was still early and they probably wouldn't have any until next month. I get the tdap at my appointment next week so I asked about the flu shot too. Hopefully you can just get them all done at once, that would be nice.

[birdsofafeather]

How far along are you? 28 weeks


Appointments coming up? 9/6... GDT. Tdap. Sono and regular check up all rolled into one long a$$ appointment.


How are you feeling? already feel like this little guy is running out of room. Slouching is out of the question.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I get my hair done every 5-6 weeks... not sure if that is a splurge or necessity. lol

[catmom88]

How far along are you? 29 weeks tomorrow


Appointments coming up? Next Tuesday - 30 week appointment


How are you feeling? I can't complain. Just slowly getting larger.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Passed my glucose test and have rcs scheduled for nov 8th.


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) My maids coming every other week. Seriously I don't know how people mom, work, and keep a house clean. I would be lost without them.

[jules1614]

How far along are you? 27 weeks


Appointments coming up?
Next week Wednesday for routine, GTT and tdap shot.

How are you feeling?
Getting bigger! My ankles were swollen yesterday after work but seem to be better today. Wedding ring fits off and on- today is a silicone band kind of day!

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? None


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex: Starbucks, pedicures etc) I like to get Starbucks- I go weekly but I would go everyday if I could!

[paperbagliz]

How far along are you? 30+1


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


How are you feeling? Very pregnant. People out in public now just assume I'm having twins instead of asking, so there's that. Had a lot of BH yesterday.


Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope, but I'm excited to see their growth this week! They were estimated 2.5 and 3 pounds a month ago. My big girls!


QOTW: What is one luxury or splurge you can't live without? (ex:  Starbucks, pedicures etc)
I don't do it too often, but I have "treat yo self" days when I take myself out for coffee, pedicure, and a new purse. I always look forward to it!

No idea but I got one last time at the same time as my GTT and tdap. And I'm only a three weeks difference in due dates. If not I'll get it whenever but I figured if they're already sticking both arms is just buckle down and get it all done.

[pootsen]

We received most of our yearly supply of flu shots at the clinic where I work. I'm pretty sure it's dependent on regional availability.

They're estimating them both 4+ pounds now! That makes me feel better about the likelihood of them arriving early.

Tomorrow I have a hair appointment, diaper bag scheduled for delivery, and a date with myself at Starbucks. So enjoyable!

Mine must be getting them soon, because I asked and the nurse said it would probably be available at my next appt. I got my tdap on Wednesday. Fortunately, no pain!
