Symptoms/rants/raves: hip pain, insomnia (still), swollen ankles

Green

How big is baby?
Rollerblade

Symptoms/rants/raves:
On and off pelvic pain, mostly just that I feel large, awkward and pregnant haha. Honestly though I'm feeling better than I was the last few weeks so I'm just happy to have hit a second wind!

Appointments or milestones?
Third tri! 28 week checkup was yesterday. Planning on doing the 2 hour glucose test later this week sometime.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy?
I mean I could probably eat Reece's Peanut Butter cups and whatever seasonal shape they are currently in at all times.

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording accordingly to outside babies if you so wish, eek!) 26 weeks tomorrow, Jan 31

Team? Pink

How big is baby? Bag of popcorn until tomorrow

Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm starting to waddle a bit right when I stand up from sitting for awhile, like I just need a few steps for everything to line up right and decide to work.

Appointments or milestones? Next week is my glucose test and OB appointment. I think I start going every two weeks after that.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy? Reese's Pieces, Reese Cup shapes (better than regular cups, especially when frozen), followed by Snickers.  Give me all the chocolate.

[sparky85]

How far along are you? EDD? 24w, EDD Feb 13th

Team? Green

How big is baby? Pkg of oreos

Symptoms/rants/raves: I only feel movement in certain areas due to an anterior placenta. It kind of sucks, but it is normal.

Appointments or milestones? I had my appointment last week, and everything was great. The report for my ultrasound doesn't give the sex of the baby, so even my Dr doesn't know. No one will be able to ruin my team green, and I got to read the whole page . I've only gained about 6 lbs this pregnancy, but the Dr said not to worry as everything looks good and the hi was a solid 145.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy?
I love mini coffee crisps. A nice mocha flavour and not too big for a treat with lunch.

Symptoms/rants/raves: I've bitched about it in other threads but my lower back on the right side is so terrible. I had to find subs to teach my barre classes tonight because it hurts to even walk. I have an anterior placenta but have been feeling quite a lot of kicks these days which is fun.

Appointments or milestones? Nothing for a few weeks.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy? Snickers, Twix, Reese's

Symptoms/rants/raves: everything is sore. My H sent me a meme that says "I remember being able to get up without making sounds effects" Thanks husband! I should be appreciating this pregnancy since it is probably our last one, but I am sick of walking around like an 80 year old woman.

Appointments or milestones? Glucose testing next Wed

How big is baby? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Symptoms/rants/raves: I got a belly support band today and it has made a woooooorld of difference with my back pain and my overall ability to move. I also have been using a foam roller at night for my terrible sciatic pain. I am still so over this pregnancy thing. I can’t stop complaining about it. And as much as i say that I want this to be over, i definitely don’t want this little girl to come early!! These early births has me totally freaked out

Appointments or milestones? I have my glucola test on Friday!! It would really really really suck to fail that right before Halloween 😩 I really hope I pass. We’ve also been making strides in the nursery! I got some decorating done today (pictures up, curtains up), and DD’s dresser came in the mail so once we assemble that we can move the nursery furniture out of her room into the new nursery. Can’t wait to have it finished!

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy? Butterfingers!!! I never buy them even though it’s my favorite candy ever. I always wait for Halloween to get them

Nothing anytime soon. Getting lots of kicking now though.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy?
Peanut Butter Cups by far. I keep buying them and DH keeps eating most of them. Annoying, but probably helpful for my GD test in a few weeks.

They will let you hold him up to 3 hours in between his ‘care’ times. They want you to hold him at least an hour (if he is handling well obvi) so he can have at least one good sleep cycle.

I have my GTT on Monday. Then I have an OB appointment on Thursday of next week.
Favorite candy? Hmmm definitely peanut butter cups. I also like star bursts, skittles and anything dark chocolate.

Team? Pink!

How big is baby? Napa cabbage

Symptoms/rants/raves: soreness/achiness in my crotch the past couple of day, reflux (ongoing), my constipation has gotten better probably because my diet has improved with more veggies, but I do have lots of gas!
I've been feeling a lot of movement but get worried when she is pretty quiet. DH still hasn't felt her (anterior placenta for me too!).

Appointments or milestones? I go for 1 hour glucose test today in about an hour! I also go to MFM for fetal echocardiogram this Friday and (hopefully what will be) my last growth scan over there. If everything looks OK for that visit, they will "dismiss" me.

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy? Um, I love candy! Right now I am digging Kit Kats and Reese's PB cups

How big is baby? Tropical coconut

Symptoms/rants/raves: my nose is SO stuffy. I took a decongestant last night & that was amazing but then I couldn’t sleep lol. Soooo we will see what I decide to do from here on out haha. I’m so glad to be in 3rd Tri and counting down now! I still feel really good, so much better than this point in pregnancy w DD. I think bc I’ve been actually exercising semi-consistently (with a week or two off here & there haha).

Aren't they the worst?! In the moment I forgot if I was supposed to point my toe or flex it. Well pointing it is not correct... so painful!

[marygracerich]

MHs remedy for cramps or charley horses is a cold floor. If you put your foot down on a cold floor it loosens it up. Maybe it’s just in my head but it has definitely worked for me. I am only in pain for as long as it takes to put my foot down. I don’t have carpets which makes it easy for me.

[rebeccabunch]

How far? 26w3d

Team? Pink

How big? Whatever cake said

Rants/Symptoms? Not much. Some painful BHs here and there. Had a few days of back/bump hurting but it seems better today. Not sleeping that great.

Appts: today! Had my GTT. Pre registered for the hospital. Can’t believe I’m at the point to do those two things.

Yesterday was the EDD of my March loss. I thought about it but I wasn’t that sad. When I look back at finding out about my MMC and the D&C and aftermath it’s just a shitty haze that I’m glad is over but I feel lucky to be this far along in my pregnancy.

Fav candy? I LOVE candy but I do not like peanut butter. Gross. I will give you guys all of my Reese’s. Favs are probably Twix and KitKat. I actually like candy corn.

[jessijean]

How far along are you? EDD? 30 weeks tomorrow/ Jan 4 - ahhhh!

GTKY: What's your favorite Halloween candy? Snickers or Reeses Speaking of, I might dig into them now!
