How far along are you? 26+1...I thought I was 25 weeks this week. Pregnancy brain!
EDD? 2/5
Team? Pink!
How big is baby? The size of kale
Symptoms/rants/raves: my vagina feels like it’s going to break from the pressure. My hips hurt. And, I’m starting to get a little swollen. Otherwise, I’m great! LOL
Appointments or Milestones? I have my next appt on Monday and I’ll also do the glucose test again. 🤞🏻 I pass again!
GTKY: Do you have any fun Halloween plans? I’m leaving work early today. TOT starts at 6! And it’s supposed to snow ❄️ later. Not much, but it’s going to be cold enough to snow! If I make it in time, I’ll hang at DD’s school for the party and then we’ll stop to pick up a pizza for dinner. MH and DD will go TOT and I plan on handing candy out to the kids!
Happy Halloween!

How far along are you? EDD? (Adjust wording to outside babies if you wish!) 26w6d, Jan 31
Team? Pink!
How big is baby? Double Gulp
Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm still sleeping well most nights (occasional insomnia after getting up to pee) but I'm starting to feel achy when I get up from sitting and I feel like I'm getting stiff with the weather change. I should start doing some prenatal yoga, I'm not flexible and limber even when I'm not pregnant.
Appointments or Milestones? Thursday OB and glucose test. I'm prepared to fail since I had it with Ava and I have so many risk factors, but at least my OB said if I fail the 1 hour she won't make me do the 3 hour so I guess that is something.
GTKY: Do you have any fun Halloween plans? We are just giving out candy to those brave enough to be out in the cold. Today's HIGH is only 44 so it will be pretty chilly by the time the kiddos are out. We usually sit in lawn chairs on the driveway and I'm not sure I'll be able to tolerate that. I have a heated blanket that I might hook up to an extension cord to make it less miserable.

How big is baby?
Barbie convertible
Symptoms/rants/raves:
Just getting to be a very big and active baby, I feel every movement it makes I swear. Sometimes it hurts haha! This morning I woke up with a foot in my ribs. I never felt it that clearly in my ribs with my other two.
Appointments or Milestones?
Nothing going on this week, unless my dr calls to say I failed my 2 hour. She wasn't going to call if I passed so every day that goes by I feel optimistically better!
GTKY: Do you have any fun Halloween plans?
Kid usually start TOTing right after school in my town, so we'll head out as soon as H can get home and dressed!
I invite my parents over for supper every year since they live on a farm and don't usually get TOTers anymore, so depending on how much it's snowing by then they'll come in too!

DS went out trick or treating with DH while I handed out candy tonight.

Team? Blue!
How big is baby? asparagus??? Where do they come up with these things...
Symptoms/rants/raves: The pressure and aching in my pelvis is almost unbearable at times. And yesterday my hip pain really flared up. All I did was walk across campus, stood to teach for an hour and walked back to my office and my hips hurt the rest of the day.
Appointments or Milestones? Lab work on Thursday for neuro. No seizure activity since Sept 19!!!! That's a milestone for me.
GTKY: Do you have any fun Halloween plans? DS ended up running a low grade fever yesterday evening so we just took him to immediate family and the neighbors and called it a night. His costume that was supposed to fit 2-4 year olds was almost too small (he's less than 2.5 years)

Team?

How big is baby?
Head of cauliflower
Symptoms/rants/raves:
Nothing new. Heartburn, stress and general aches
Appointments or Milestones?
Had an ultrasound and appointment with high risk OB on Monday. Long story. But the baby’s stomach is measuring large. I guess this means there is a small risk of it developing into a double bubble. That would then require surgery and is a 1 in 3 risk of Down’s syndrome. She repeatedly said it was a very small risk but of course I’m super stressed about it. I meet with my regular OB on the 23rd and then have to schedule another ultrasound for around week 32. I won’t be able to find out anything more until then.
GTKY: Do you have any fun Halloween plans?
Just handed out candy, nothing exciting.

Thanks benandjerrys,almost everything I've found online about a baby having a large stomach is because the mom has GD (I do not) or it's just a big baby. So I'm hoping for the best! |

28w 4d, due January 20th Girl! Eggplant She's quite the little kicker! Everything is fine, just exhausted. I passed the GD test, but also found out my platelets are low? It was only by a little, so I'm not too worried. They just want to check again in a month. On the every 2 weeks appt schedule now. GTKY: DD was willing to wear her zebra costume for all of 90 seconds, and then it was off. And she refused to go trick or treating (despite H's valiant efforts to convince her it would be fun.) And we had exactly one family knock on our door. So...better luck next year?  |

How far along are you? EDD? 28w2d, due Jan 23 Team? Pink How big is baby? Eggplant I think Symptoms/rants/raves: my back pain comes and goes, I’ve been having tons of BH and cramping off and on, soooo much baby movement. It hurts now!! And my BP seems to be creeping up  I was hoping to avoid the whole high blood pressure this time around, since my dr took me out of work at 36 weeks because of it. So now MH is enforcing the “take it easy” thing with me because he’s paranoid like me, which I don’t do well with... there’s always something to be done! Oh and i passed my GD test!! Woohoo! Appointments or Milestones? The nursery is almost done!! I’m waiting for 1 more decor thing to be delivered tomorrow and then we’ll be good to go. I can’t wait to share pics! I’m obsessed with how it’s coming together GTKY: We went TOT through my dads neighborhood... his neighborhood is apparently the place to be for Halloween. People camp out at the end of their driveways with tables and fire pits to pass out candy. It was a lot of fun! Absolutely crazy with the amount of kids there were though |

amesie what has your blood pressure been? I hoped blood pressure issues were contained to my first but have induced all three times because of it. My pressures had been 125/75 or lower, but at my 26 week I was 128/86. By no means high yet, but I have a feeling this pregnancy will follow suit.

By no means high yet, but I have a feeling this pregnancy will follow suit. it was 130/80 it’s always under 120 regularly, like in the 1-teens... so it’s trending upwards definitely. It got as high as 140s with my DD, and with me being a nurse and running around on my feet in high stress situations at work, she didn’t want me working with my BP that high at rest with the risk of it getting higher running around. |

I’m sorry. Just keep an eye on it. My doc was generally fine with an elevated reading (under 140/90), as long as it came down with rest. As soon as it stopped coming down with rest (as in, my BP was 170/100 when I came in for a check up, only went down to 150/90 laying down), it was induction time. I’m sure as a nurse you know what you’re doing. I made it 38W2D with DD1, 38W with DD2, bedrest at 36W with DD3 and induced at 37W4D. All three girls were just fine upon delivery! |

And that’s what her concern was, was that just walking from the waiting room to the back room, my BP would sky rocket to the 140s. They’d recheck it at the end of the apt and it would come down to the 120s again. But just with that level of activity, she didn’t feel comfortable with my working conditions. Luckily it never got worse than that. I was able to come out of work and take it easy at home. And DD was born at 39w3d completely fine and dandy. And honestly, if it wasn’t the BP taking me out of work, I would have had to stop working anyway bc she was almost 10lb and I was in so much pain at the end. There’s no way i could have been on my feet for 8hrs at a time running around with a 10lb bowling ball on my pelvis haha. |

cake, I'm so sorry for that stress! How big is the stomach measuring? With DS, his stomach always measured pretty large (they never said anything about it though), but when he was born he was skinny just with a long torso.

With DS, his stomach always measured pretty large (they never said anything about it though), but when he was born he was skinny just with a long torso. They didn’t tell me the actual size (or I just missed it because stressed out). I’m pretty sure they are being extra cautious because at one scan the nuchleal fold was slightly large. But then completely normal 2 weeks later and I was basically told I didn’t need to worry about it. So stories like yours make me hopeful! |
