bazi, When is your next ultrasound? I hope you don't have to wait long. I'm waiting to get scheduled, probably next week. Based on the measurements the regular U/S techs have done, it really hasn't moved much since 24 weeks, so I'm kind of assuming it's still too low. I am having a lot of feelings about this that are probably just pregnancy hormones again...but after getting induced with DD, I was actually excited (probably wrong word) to go into labor on my own and not have so many interventions. Logically, I know that as long as the baby gets out safely it doesn't really matter how he enters the world.

Healthy mom + healthy baby are definitely top priority, but it's okay to have feelings about the birth process. It's definitely a big part of your life and it's okay to have preferences on how it happens.

SIL wants us to go stay in another city that's 3 hrs away, to play laser tag for her bday. 13 days before my due date. She's turning 40. I literally LOL'd. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for staying as active as possible until delivery day. But nothing about that sounds enjoyable.

My mom laughed at me last night when I said if I'm still pregnant on Thanksgiving I might go to a yoga class. It's more so that since we normally host that holiday I'm looking forward to being able to do whatever I want that day cause we're not making any plans.

It'll be like D15 all over again where like half of the board had babies already by the time December actually rolled around. Except I REALLY don't want to be first this time, ok? YOU HEAR THAT BABY?? Hopefully you won't be first again. Stay put, baby!

You guys, I am losing my damn mind. Like, I feel like the stupidest pregnant lady that ever pregnanted. Warning...tmi ahead.
So I ate my pasta for lunch and it was delicious but my stomach was super pissed about it. I went to the bathroom for an unfortunate bowel movement and felt a big gush and some pee. Obviously there was poop but I had a huge panic because I couldn't tell if possibly my water had also broken. It sure felt like the gush came out from the "correct" place to be my water. I spent no less than 20 minutes googling about my water breaking and if it would keep leaking after.
A couple of things to note: 1) I KNOW what happens when your water breaks, it happened with DS1 2) I haven't had so much as a tiny bit of fluid leak since this happened almost an hour ago 2a) I even did squats and jumping jacks to see if more would come out
Why is this baby making me so stupid? I have the preemie paranoia bad. I need to just chill.

That may be a no for me even if you weren't pregnant. 3 hours for laser tag? I'm hoping her invite was more of a courtesy rather than an actual "you're coming, right?" I'm debating going about 1 hr away for a 2 hour party in a week ... where there will be no physical activity involved.

Nothing fits anymore. The only comfortable clothes I own are nightgowns from Target that I can't get away with in public. I need to muster the energy to wash my hair before taking DD for a cut with my hair stylist this afternoon. Unless I show up looking like a hot mess and she offers to shampoo and massage my head... I'm with you - I have a few dresses, but while the pants "fit", I don't want anything around my stomach, especially not under the bump (which of course include 2 of my favorite pairs of pants). Also, I'm out of comfortable sleepwear. I have 2 big nightshirts that still fit. Question - does anyone else feel like their skin is stretched to its max? If I bump my belly button on something, it feels like it's on fire, it's so sensitive.

And my update for the day - almost got sideswiped this morning on my way to the NST. Person pulled out from a side road, went across a lane of traffic and into my lane -- without looking at all. If I hadn't swerved and slammed on my brakes, they would have hit me. They sped off, and I had to put my flashers on and sit for a minute just to calm myself down. Thankfully, I was already on my way to the NST ... and everyone looks fine. My BP was still elevated (for me), but within normal range. Honestly, if I think about it for too long, I could start crying because it was so scary - they would have hit me on my driver's side, right where I was. Otherwise, all good

Am I the only one whose boobs haven't grown this pregnancy?? I'm not complaining because I'm already...not small...but it's weird. The giant belly makes my boobs look nonexistent, but I haven't had to change bra size. I'm not even sure since I never moved out of nursing bras, but I will say, they have been feeling fuller lately.

So baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead, but my belly measurement is right on at 34w. Not sure where all that extra baby is hiding.

I was super annoyed at the ob’s today. It’s only my second visit to this office, and it was nuts. Last time, I had an 8am appointment and it was pretty easy. Today it was 9:30, and the place was full of people. I wait d 45 minutes to be called in. Then, the dr said he’d see me in two weeks, but the person at the desk tried to schedule me for 10/19. Um no. I’ll be just about 38 weeks and I’m being induced a week later. I need to come back before that. Finally we got an appointment scheduled for 10/10. I was also told to expect a phone call with my induction date and time. Eek!

Oh my. I'm done. Had my 5 year old's bday party with 6 friends. I'm dead. I'm sore. This baby is pushing in all the wrong places. Finally I'm laying down hoping to feel some movement that's been lacking today.
Kids are happily playing Lego that my son got for his birthday.
I can't remember what else I wanted to add....can't believe people are already scheduling c/s! Seems so close!

DD was pushing on my belly button earlier, and I almost cried.

The giant belly makes my boobs look nonexistent, but I haven't had to change bra size. I went from a 36dd to a 38dd a few months in and haven't budged since. I kept waiting for them to explode, but they really haven't.

OB wants me to go see the high risk OB for my next ultrasound, since they are more accurate on placenta placement. I'm still hoping to avoid a CS, but I just want to know either way. I hope you get the answers you need!

roloma, I'm sorry for the water scare. I figured out I was leaking by emptying my bladder completely, staying seated on the toilet for a couple of minutes then trying to go again and would get another full go, which was then fluid not pee. I think previously broken water + early baby just makes the mind race. I had a moment where I though I was suddenly leaking today. Took my work pants off and my inner thighs touched and I thought they were wet at first and instantly panicked. Then I remembered I drove home with a half frozen Gatorade between my legs and that they were just cold. Then I felt like a moron because I know what a rupture feels like and obviously that's not it.

And yes, my skin is super tight and uncomfortable.
