QotW:
What's your favorite song right now?

[sarahh]

How far along are you? EDD? 32w6d RCS scheduled 12/28

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - big and tired; Emotionally, still a little on edge. When I don't feel her move for a while I start to panic. Also, even though I only have a little over 6 weeks left it still doesn't feel 100% real. Which may explain why I'm no where near ready for a baby to come home.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next appt is a week from wednesday

Any other word vomit to share? I had my sprinkle yesterday which was fun and maybe made if feel 5% real.

QotW:
What's your favorite song right now? I like that new Havana song (Camila Cabello) and normally I don't like Demi Lovato but I like her new song "Sorry not sorry."

[Rama]

How far along are you? EDD? 20,3 EDD 3/30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically not too bad. Some aches and pains here and there, but nothing really worth whining over. Emotionally, I'm in an anxious phase. I wish I could feel baby move more consistently now that I've been feeling them for about a month now, but I know there's still a lot of space for them to flip around and move without necessarily pushing on me. It's hard to be patient.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? OB appointment on Friday

Any other word vomit to share? Nope, thanks.

QotW: What's your favorite song right now? At the literal second, it's Me Too because I just watched a Fitness Marshall video to that song, hehe. But on most days, I can listen to anything by Shawn Mendes, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, or ASTRO.

How far along are you? EDD? 35w2d 12/16, but RCS 12/6



How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I’m over this. I’m tired all the time. I can’t get enough sleep.

Emotionally I still don’t think I understand that we are having another child in 3 weeks. I went to pull out the NB things from storage, got overwhelmed and decided to procrastinate another weekend.



Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Last US Friday. Then I move to weekly appts (though with my dr OOT Thanksgiving week, it will be a week and a half) and I’m supppsed to switch to heparin Friday (but insurance denied it, so my dr needs to pre authorize.) I want to just confirm that it’s just viles again do I can get all the medical intake and injection syringes I’ll need from the nurses again at my dr. Luckily that PITA process of daily shots will only be for just over 2 weeks.


Any other word vomit to share? I got another small hard spot under a shot location this weekend and it grossed me out. It’s getting really hard to find pinchable fatty areas even on my sides.....



QotW:
What's your favorite song right now? I’m too brain dead for this question. I listen to country most of the time, but nothing stands out right now. I might come back to answer.

[Speedy]

ldubhawksfan, I'm soooo excited for you! Every now and again I wonder what happened to all the other ladies from TB. I miss that crew sometimes.

[snowyowl]

How far along are you? EDD?
26+4, 2/15

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I’m a bit uncomfortable. I had hemorrhoids after DS’s birth and they are back. Nothing prompted them, they just appeared the other day. Ouch. My hips are sore and it’s harder to stand through all my classes now.
Emotionally I’m very anxious this week. I’ll word vomit about it.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Ultrasound on Thursday.

Any other word vomit to share?
I went in for my month appt on Friday and because my usual doctor was delivering a baby, I had to see another OB in the practice, whom I really don’t like. He delivered DS, and I didn’t like how flippant and weird he was.
He did my first fundal measurement and I’m apparently measuring six weeks ahead. He basically laughed, said I was too large and needed an ultrasound, and left without explaining what a large fundal measurement meant. So I’ve been googling and it’s your usual “it could easily be nothing... or all this other bad stuff”.
I was supposed to have the ultrasound tomorrow, but I screwed up my schedule and now I have to wait until Thursday, which I’m really unhappy about.

QotW:
What's your favorite song right now?
I’m drawing a blank. No major favorites right now.

How far along are you? EDD? 8w2d, June 23 '18


How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm okay. Doc gave me nausea pills which are helping because that kicked in big time. No vomiting but I don't vomit easily anyways. My boobs are so sore most days, and they look huge to me lol. I'm still exhausted most of the time. I'm glad that I swapped jobs when I did because I definitely could not handle the 12 hour shifts with this. I'm barely making it through my 8 hour shifts. Also, I seem to be more hungry than previously. I could eat a horse today!
Emotionally, I'm still nervous but feeling a little better. I was having some troubling one sided pain, and it was getting worse, so I wound up going to the ER to get them to check since I'm STILL fighting to get a proper U/S. I had a quick one in the room and I got to see baby =) Right place, right size, and we saw a little flickering heartbeat. I swear I saw little arms too, but maybe I was imagining it because I was holding my breath lol. That definitely helped me to know that it's real! I have a baby in there! I'm officially further than both of my losses!


Any upcoming appointments or milestones? My next appointment is in 2 weeks with the high risk doctor. I'm not sure what to expect out of that appointment.


Any other word vomit to share? My 2 best friends are sooo excited for me, and have already started planning my baby shower lol. I'm trying to get them to slow down but they definitely have their own ideas. H is being pretty amazing, although he was annoyed with me going to the ER yesterday. And I'm starting to figure out what to do to announce to the grandparents to be


QotW:
What's your favorite song right now? The lead singer from my favorite band is releasing a solo album and released the first song off of it. I've been listening on repeat, definitely my favorite right now!

[Rama]

snowyowl I'm frustrated with that OB on your behalf. What the actual hell. That is no way to treat ANY patient, let alone a pregnant one.

[mattsgirl2004]

How far along are you? EDD?
19w, 4-9-17


How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically my back and hips have gotten worse. Some days I really struggle to walk, bend over, etc. I'm not sure how to make the pain better, but I still have 19+ weeks to go and I don't foresee this improving.

Emotionally, I've been really anxious. Movement still isn't consistent. I've been using my doppler 2-3 times per day. 😕

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My a/s is next week on Tuesday. I'm both excited and super nervous.


Any other word vomit to share?




QotW:
What's your favorite song right now?
Right now, I've been listening to Christmas music. 😆 So, that's my favorite at the moment.
My all time favorite is the song DH and I had played for our first dance at our wedding. You Look Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Gives me all the feels. 😍

[officedronette]

Thanks for posting the check-in, Speedy,

How far along are you? EDD? 36w 4d; 12-6

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I feel huge and uncomfortable. Sleep has been slightly improved this week, which means I'm getting up 2-3 times vs. 4-5 times. I'll take it. Emotionally, I set up some baby stuff and started crying *TW-LC* because I'm freaking out about how we're going to all adjust to be a family of four. I love D and I can't wait to meet her, but there is a big part of me that is so scared to do all of the newborn stuff again, and have all of the newborn fears again, and how it will all affect L.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Twice-weekly NSTs. Passed this AM. NP freaked me out by saying "you're about to term! This baby could come any day now!" I asked her if she had any reason to believe delivery is imminent and to please not freak me out because I have far too much work to finish before I can deliver a baby.

Any other word vomit to share? That's enough.

QotW:
What's your favorite song right now? Oh music. I miss the days when I would actually listen to new music. These days it's Frozen and Moana and Tangled all the time (why oh why does my child like this movie so, when the music is so subpar for Disney?).

[Risscaboobs]

How far along are you? EDD?
14+4, 5/12/18

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically pretty good. Nausea has decreased to very occasionally. I don’t think I’m ready to come off my unisom+B6 cocktail yet. Exhaustion/fatigue is still in full swing.
Emotionally, I’m ok most of the time. I do still feel like I’m waiting for something to go wrong. I use my doppler most days and panic anytime I can’t find him immediately. I hope I start feeling more consistent movements soon.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
16-week appt on 11/29. Just waiting on baby boy to get bigger so I can feel him move more.

Any other word vomit to share?
Nah.

QotW:
What's your favorite song right now?
Portugal. The man. Feel it still.

[Waffle]

How far along are you? EDD? 34w5d, induction around 13-14 Dec.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Get ready for serious complaining! Physically: tired, thunder crotch, swollen feet, the bump gets in the way of breathing and eating. Also my blood pressure and fasting sugar levels have been rising (I blame stress). Emotionally completely drained. My mother has been hospitalized again and it looked like we were planning a funeral before EDD. She seems to be improving now (lung infection under control) but her general condition has worsened a lot in the last few weeks and I doubt she'll be getting back to any satisfactory quality of life as she was still unable to walk prior to this last episode despite 6 weeks of physio following a hip replacement. She's also extremely confused and as she won't be going back to a familiar place, it's unlikely to get better on that front.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Weekly appointments start next week.

Any other word vomit to share? I think I'll spare you any more.

QotW: What's your favorite song right now? Can't think of anything.

[ldubhawksfan]

Waffle I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s health. I really hope it doesn’t go as badly as you feared and I’m glad she seems on the mend. ((Hugs)) I couldn’t imagine dealing with that right now.

Thanks, it's rough.

[fancynewbeesly]

How far along are you? EDD? June 16th. Although the early ultrasound they were guessing June 12th, but the OB is sticking with the 16th. I am 10 weeks today.



How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Emotionally still a wreck. We saw the heartbeat a couple of weeks ago, but I still can't relax. I think my symptoms are kind of muted. I am just SOOOOO exhausted. But besides that, I have been okay.



Any upcoming appointments or milestones? My next scan is on December 5th. That is the NT scan and NIPT blood work draw.

[mattsgirl2004]

Waffle I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and all of her health issues. I can only imagine how difficult this all must be for you. Sending good thoughts and lots of hugs. ❤
