How far along are you? 31w3d
Appointments coming up? Growth scan on Thursday, then my next OB appointment the next week. I start my weekly appointments the first week of October.
How are you feeling? Feeling okay. I think the iron is building up in my system now, I'm not so worn out from walking as I was a month ago. Still slow though.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My fundal height was measuring 37 cm at 31 weeks so I am going for a growth ultrasound this week. Not sure what I am hoping for out of it. I just don't want to push out a 10 lb baby and would really prefer to avoid a c-section. Glad we'll get to take a look at the (maybe not so) little guy.
QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least? I'll miss feeling movement the most. It's uncomfortable sometimes but overall really special. I will not miss the food and drink restrictions. Can't wait for full caffeine coffee again. And wine!

How far along are you? 32 weeks Appointments coming up? Thursday for BPP How are you feeling? It depends on how active I've been. As long as I spend most of the day resting, I'm good.  Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Fluid still increasing which could cause premature labor, but the girls look good. QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least? Definitely the movement! I love feeling the babes wiggling and stretching. It's strange knowing I won't ever feel that again since this is it. I won't miss not being as able to do everything- I can't run, pick up my kids, get myself off the floor, and so much more right now. I'm looking forward to feeling normal again!! |

How far along are you? 32 weeks 1 day Appointments coming up? Tomorrow, just a regular appointment. Then I start every 2 weeks. How are you feeling? Tired ... I'm just not sleeping well. The baby is VERY active at night and that keeps me up. And then the heartburn kicks in. It's just hard to get comfortable, I'm so sore by the end of the day and I wake up sore too because the kid nestles down into my pelvis at night. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'll update tomorrow if there's anything of interest! QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least? I like the movement too. I also love how close I feel to the baby. It's been different not being able to refer to the baby by name or with specific pronouns this pregnancy, but I still feel very connected to this little boy or little girl. I struggled a bit adjusting to having an outside baby when DS was born. It was so strange to see other people holding him at first. Then I got over it and celebrated the fact that I could share his love with other people. I'm looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again and drinking wine. And babywearing a baby again  |

How far along are you? 32w1d
Appointments coming up? Growth scan 2 weeks today, looking forward to it as it'll give us a lot of answers
How are you feeling? This heartburn is a bitch. Hips/pelvis are so sore. So tired
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? N/A
QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least?
Feeling her move, a love feeling her move about. And as much as I hate strangers comments, it's nice for people to move out of the way for me/generally be a lot nicer, stuff like that. Least? The constant needing to wee, heart burn, etc etc

How far along are you? 30w2d
Appointments coming up? Weekly shot on Wednesday, Growth scan at MFM on Friday, and then regular OB check next week
How are you feeling? Not too bad aside from being tired and sore.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? nothing fun. Working on keeping GD in check with diet.

Most - I don't know. I kinda hate being pregnant but I am a little sad this will be the last time. I guess I agree with everyone else on the movement.
Least - diet restrictions. I can't wait to eat white carbs again. And also wine. All of the wine will be mine!

32+2 weeks today.
Had an appointment today, nothing else for two weeks and then an ultrasound at 35 weeks.
I'm feeling really good and it's so weird. Every appointment where things are normal, I walk out feeling like I have no idea what to do with myself. I have normal third tri discomfort where my hips hurt some days, my back hurts some days, my ankles and calves are puffy by the end of the day, etc. And the rash on my belly sucks. But I'm sleeping pretty well, I'm on my feet all day and don't feel badly by dismissal, my energy is good. I'm actually amazed at how good I feel. So surreal.
QOTW: I will miss all of the good things about pregnancy, I think. This is our last planned kid so this is (in theory) it. I'll definitely miss feeling the movements.
Today I feel like the part I'll miss the least is waiting for the other shoe to drop. XD

How far along are you?
30w2d
Appointments coming up?
Weekly BPP on Thursday.
How are you feeling?
Itchy, tired, emotional, hungry, negative sex drive, my pelvis should be breaking apart any day now, the usual.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments?
Baby has big cheeks and seems to be developing right on schedule.
QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least?
Most: Wearing whatever I want without worrying too much about how my body looks. Pregnancy does wonders for my body confidence. And eating, pregnancy eating is a thing of beauty.
Least: Oh, just...so many things.

roloma I legitimately am craving wine. Like it's the only thing I want so so badly. Yet one sip and I have heartburn for hours on end. I cannot wait to drink it again. And im not even a big drinker!

AnnPerkins I have no sex drive either which isnt normal for me during pregnancy. It seems like H doesn't believe me and is taking it personally. I feel bad.

How far along are you? 32 weeks tomorrow Appointments coming up? Next week How are you feeling? Today, pretty good. Most nights I'm sleeping well, but last night wasn't great. Couch time tonight Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? MW said nevermind on the iron supplements, so that's nice. QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least? So far pregnancy has been fairly enjoyable. I agree with AnnPerkins though, I'll miss having everything look good on me and/or getting a pass on looking good b/c I'm pregnant! Also, my skin has been great! What I'll miss the least: Not being able to (or wanting to) exercise as much, I hope I'm able to get back into it fairly quickly and that I'll also want to! |

How far along are you? 32+2 Appointments coming up? First MFM prenatal appointment Wednesday. I was told to expect it to take over an hour, so I don't know what it'll entail. How are you feeling? Good. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Cancelled the growth ultrasound that was supposed to be tomorrow since the MFM is taking over my care two weeks earlier than we anticipated. Boo. QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least? I'll miss feeling movement and wearing cute stuff to show my belly. I won't miss not having wine. I'm craving it too!

How far along are you? 30+2
Appointments coming up? Thursday afternoon
How are you feeling? I think I'm dying. I do not remember being this exhausted and sore last time, going back third tri pregnant after a summer off. I'm so tired I feel like crying. And my SI joints, JFC you guys. I'm in a significant amount of pain tonight. Like real pain. Not to mention I had BH and contractions on and off all day. I need to squeeze a month out of myself at work. I don't know how though if I feel like this every day. I don't know if I can do ten more weeks of this. My body is so broken.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada, maybe after Thursday. My practice got a new doctor who I'm meeting. Hopefully I like her.
QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? What will you miss the least?
Most- baby movements for sure. I also like the way my pregnant belly looks, so dressing myself isn't too bad because I don't mind tight clothes and showing off my belly.
Least- constant discomfort and pain, raging emotions, and lack of alcohol. I'm having a serious hard cider craving right now. I would cut a bitch for one.

How far along are you? 30w3d
Appointments coming up? OB appt on Wednesday. I also get the "30 week talk" with the nurse where they go through labor signs, what to do when labor starts, birth plans, etc.
How are you feeling? Physically? Okay- my back pain is better and I just feel huge and stretched out. Emotionally? Like a frickin psycho- my hormones are raging and I've either cried or had super bad anxiety every day for the last week.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? We'll see on Wednesday
QOTW: What will you miss the most about pregnancy? The fact that food and sex are 1000x better. Oh and I suppose the baby movements too ha.
What will you miss the least? Stretch marks. Running out of clothes that fit. Booze restrictions. Icky 1st tri feeling. Sensitivity to smell/gagging. The hormonal roller coaster. Back pain. Feeling like I can't do anything without being short of breath. But really I love being pregnant, I promise 😉.

I'm so sorry you're feeling so crappy, cnf. Is there any way to take your leave earlier? You are doing an amazing job, even if you don't feel like it. It took me 3 hours just to get it up to go to the grocery store today. You are basically Wonder Woman in my eyes. |

It took me 3 hours just to get it up to go to the grocery store today. You are basically Wonder Woman in my eyes. I can go out whenever I want, my doctors will write me out if I ask. I feel so guilty being in a new building and dipping out super early though. My goal is to make it through Columbus day week, but if I don't I don't let it totally make me feel too guilty. I don't know. I'll bring everything up on Thursday. |

Another symptom - I am such a bitch. Like anything and anyone annoys me, H can just breathe wrong and I'm looking at him with flared nostrils
Luckily DS is void from all that, all I want to do is kill his face

So here's my fun fact from my appointment today!
I asked my OB about baby's position/size. He could check position by feel and baby is head down with his or her back on my left side/feet on my right like I had thought. Baby did not appreciate it though and kicked at him. He said in terms of size, STM+ are actually better at predicting than ultrasounds or doctors. Because we've had a baby before, we have a better understanding of how it feels in comparison. So for example, I feel like this baby is slightly bigger than DS but not dramatically. #2 will likely be slightly bigger than him at birth. So I am unlikely to have any more ultrasounds even to check position or size unless something comes up. They would do one around 35-36 weeks if there was a questions of position or size.
Also, got my flu shot and I love my OB. He's quite good-looking and very chill.

grumpycat, that's a fun fact. I wouldn't have any idea if DS was breech, but with this one I just knew from the movements etc. Also I feel she's slightly under the growth of what her brother was at this stage, which isn't remotely a bad thing!!
