How far along are you? 29 weeks

How big is baby? a Barbie convertible, or a pineapple

Any appointments this week? nope

How are you feeling? fatigued, sore, emotional

Vents/questions/concerns: I never checked in last week, but at my last appointment I had a scan to see if my placenta previa had resolved itself, which it had - yay! However, during the scan we discovered that baby girl has hydronephrosis of her right kidney. They sent me right away to see the MFM (which are luckily on the floor below my OB's office) for another scan. I have to see the MFM again at 32 weeks and 36 weeks for scans to measure the kidney and make sure it isn't getting worse. They said there's a possibility it could resolve itself in the womb, but if not then the baby will have to be put on antibiotics at birth and be seen by a pediatric urologist within 72 hours of birth. There's nothing we can do at this point except to monitor it, but of course I'm all stressed out about it

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast fo sho. I could eat breakfast foods all day every day.

I'm sorry for the news, jexxa. I don't know much anything about hydronephrosis, so I have no advice. Just offering support. I'm glad the MFMs are on top of it, and I'll keep my FX that it resolves in utero.

[jexxa]

Thank you ketchup. Also, I'm glad to see you over here :-)

How far along are you?
- 27+6

How big is baby?
- Coach mini satchel, but will be a Soda Stream cylinder tomorrow.

Any appointments this week?
- Had a growth scan with the MFM this AM. Little girl is looking good!

How are you feeling?
- The heartburn. I haz it. Just from looking at the things. Zantac is barely touching it, and LOLOL to Tums. Solo parenting the toddler is starting to take a toll too, but what can ya do..

Vents/questions/concerns:
- Nothing really.

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day?
- I love breakfast. I'm not even a sweets breakfast person, but give me an egg sandwich and a hashbrown (plus all the ketchup), and I'm the happiest of clams.

I'm so sorry jexxa. I hope it gets better on it's own before baby comes and if not, hopefully very little intervention will need to be had to correct the issue.

How far along are you?
28 weeks - third trimester baby!!

How big is baby?
The size of a nintendo

Any appointments this week?
Had my monthly appt this morning, as well as my glucose test and a growth scan. My OB's office has a new 3D machine, so I was able to get a 3D image of baby boys face. It wasn't the greatest, but so cool to see.

How are you feeling?
So much better now that the nursery is almost complete. I don't know why it was stressing me out so much but I'm glad it forced me to just get it done (mostly). Now, I can pretty much just relax and work on hobbies at my leisure until baby gets here. My right hip and my back have been really bugging me, but just trying to take it easy and not overdo it because that's what seems to aggravate them more. Having a 4 day weekend really helped with some much needed rest and there was even some time to be lazy!

Vents/questions/concerns:
Nothing negative or concerning at the moment. Kinda just in shock that I'm already in my third trimester. We actually scheduled the rest of my appts and scans with my OB's office and scheduled my c-section for August 15th. So crazy!

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day?
For sure, breakfast! I could have it any time of day. Dinner as long as it involves Italian food and dessert is a close second.

jexxa Glad to hear your placenta previa resolved but sorry about the hydronephrosis. I don't have personal experience with it, but my youngest niece was diagnosed with it as well and it resolved shortly after delivery. Hopefully, that will be the case for you as well.

How far along are you? 28+1

How big is baby? Double eggplants

Any appointments this week? Yes, cervical check and growth scan tomorrow!

How are you feeling? Not great. I'm having a lot of shortness of breath making it hard to sleep, even propped up. That and increasing anxiety about work and everything else.

Vents/questions/concerns: 9ish weeks to go seems like it will go pretty quickly, which is good and bad.

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day?
Brunch - being from NYC, we brunch hard. I love all things savory.

jexxa, Sorry about the hydronephrosis, like others said hoping it resolves in utero or shortly after. Yay about the previa!


How far along are you? 28+1


How big is baby? Coconut which doesn't seem that big?!


Any appointments this week? No, nothing this week. Had the 1 hr glucose test last friday so waiting to hear the results


How are you feeling? Gigantic, sleeping like shit, right ass cheek pain continues, emotional and also joining the heartburn club! Yay! I'm a walking disaster basically, lol


Vents/questions/concerns: Just so frigin tired and cranky with feeling crappy. Its not a good feeling just starting 3rd tri. This pregnancy has definitely felt harder and I'm not sure if its because I also have a toddler or my age is factoring in. I started 10lbs heavier which could be contributing as well.


QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast! Could eat it allllll the time

How far along are you? 28 weeks tomorrow

How big is baby? A coconut

Any appointments this week? No, next one is at 30 weeks

How are you feeling? Ahh my back hurts so bad today.

Vents/questions/concerns: Not pregnancy related at all- DS is maybe getting his last teeth finally. Holy crap has he been a nightmare for the past couple days. He's been a grumpy, whining, tantruming mess. Please let him be over it soon! I haven't been sleeping well at all, which is not helping with my patience for toddler shenanigans.

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? I think dinner! So many options.

[elliecat17]

jt2378 perhaps they mean the coconut with its husk still on. They are pretty darn big before you husk them and get down to the nut part.

[cwbh928]

How far along are you? 28 weeks today!

How big is baby? Tropical coconut

Any appointments this week? Yes, Friday. 28 week appt.

How are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Sleeping has been hellish and so has the heartburn!

Vents/questions/concerns: I meet my new midwife this week. I am hoping she is as good as my last. I am still bummed my midwife is moving!

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day?

Hmm.. breakfast for sure! I could breakfast anytime during the day. Give me all the cereal, egg sandwiches, bacon and pancakes! Buffets are my favorite!

[thinkchocolate05]

How far along are you? 27w 6d

How big is baby? Eggplant

Any appointments this week? Not till June 8 glucose test. Worried about failing it.

How are you feeling? Very bulky. Really sore hips when I'm sleeping and more heartburn. Close to outgrowing some of my maternity clothes which is not good for my self esteem.

Vents/questions/concerns: Can't think of anything.

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? I love love breakfast and would eat for every meal. Particularly omelet with bacon, Cheddar and tomatoes. Yum!

[MegsB]

How far along are you? 30 weeks

How big is baby? large cabbage (about 3 lbs according to my last growth scan)

Any appointments this week? Next appointment is on Thursday

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Had to start taking an iron pill which makes me feel queasy in the morning I back to be very tired in the evenings. Not sure if that's pregnancy related or end of the school year related. Probably both! :-p

Vents/questions/concerns: Passed my glucose test But had to start taking the iron pill

QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? Hmm... probably breakfast. I can eat breakfast foods at any time of day.

How big is baby? A coconut


Any appointments this week? I have one on Thursday. They said come prepared for my glucose test but they weren't sure if I'd do it or not so who knows.


How are you feeling? I feel ok, just tired. Yesterday was my last day of work so I'm hoping the swollen feet go away. I'm having trouble sleeping now because it hurts my hips to lay on either side.


Vents/questions/concerns: Nope


QOTW: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - what's your favorite meal of the day? Probably dinner. I don't really eat much breakfast (though with the pregnancy I try to eat toast and a yogurt everyday).
