Today is one month from my due date! How the hell is that possible?? and at the same time, is it over yet?? I plan to share with my online students that another instructor may have to step in if I experience any complications because it's likely I'll deliver before the term ends (Dec 24). Just trying to decide how to word it.

Omg, 1 month away- that's so exciting jessijean! Can't believe so many people are getting so close to their due dates. rebeccabunch I was sad about another week with no new Crazy Ex Girlfriend too! It is back this week finally though, I just checked. I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was pretty relaxing- we made Christmas cookies with my family and I did some Christmas shopping. I love this time of year!

jessijean tht can’t be possible! Crazy that is has crept up so quickly. My husband got hit by a car while riding his bike yesterday. He is fine but it was seriously the scariest thing ever when I got the phone call. He’s an avid cyclist and I’m constantly worried something is going to happen to him. He was on a counter road with a high speed limit and he said the assholes clearly swerved towards him to scare him and then hit him with their side mirror. They hit a couple signs on the shoulder as hey sped away. No one stopped to help him and the cops pretty much said hey can’t do anything because he wasn’t able to get a license plate. The most frustrating part was being at the ER and the nurse was all ‘oh you were biking too close to the road then’. Like come on, cyclists have just as much right to the road as everyone else.

Guys I have been adulting waaay too much today and I am over it. We got up, got ready put the kid on the bus to school. Then I went to the blood lab for my final blood draws. Then I scheduled my Tdap for tomorrow for myself and MH, he ordered work uniforms, I scheduled a consult for a sleep study for him, and loaded and started the dishwasher. After we get G from the bus I am going to have an early lunch and then head to work. I have no idea how long I will be there but it will probably be awhile. MH doesn’t have to worry about dinner because I put it in the crockpot this morning. I have Christmas shopping to do but that has to wait because my week is crazy busy. Baby boy is arriving in 3 weeks and 2 days. He still isn’t named and his crib is not even built yet. Second kid problems.

Does anyone know when they test for group strep b? I'm trying to figure out if it will be tomorrow at my 36 week appointment. I'm not changing to weekly appointments for some reason so it would have to be either my 36 week or 38 week appointment.

I am on weekly visits now because I am delivering at 38 weeks. Do they do this test when your having a scheduled c section? I feel so clueless lol. I see my dr in thursday so that is when I will find out.

marygracerich, I'm pretty sure I had it done with my first scheduled C-section too. I thought it was weird that I am not moving to weekly appointments but I guess I'll just go with it. I think I had weekly appointments with DD who was a scheduled C-section at 39w6d and this one is at 39w3d.

Since mine is in just over 3 weeks, that’s why I am going weekly. It’s annoying because this week I have an appointment at the MFMs office too for a scan because of the GD. Between myself, MH and G we have 5 more dr visits just this week not including the blood work I had done this morning. 😑 I was hoping to avoid the strep b test. It feel weird.

I had my weekly BPP, whivh included a growth scan this morning. Fluid was too low to get points for it, but we hit all the other points. They found a very small pocket of fluid, and some in the stomach and bladder, so they aren't too concerned right now since everything else was ok.
Baby is measuring at 3lbs (21st percentile), up from 8th just over 2.5 weeks ago.
It looks like I will probably be in hospital until this baby is born, due to the combination of PPROM and the bleeding issues from the placenta. I may get to go home eventually, but I'm not expecting it anytime soon. The MFM reviewing the ultrasound said "see you next week, if you're still pregnant".

sarahh, mine does it at the 36w appointment. Isn't group b strep more of a concern during vaginal deliveries or can they get it either way? sparky85 I know no one wants to be in the hospital that long but you are doing great at staying positive. Take it one day at a time.

I'm losing my mind with crotch pain. It started this morning and at first I thought it was lightening crotch but its CONSTANT. It feels like someone is pinching my left labia with tweezers. Holy fuck it hurts so bad. Anyway I now think its a UTI because I feel like I have to pee SO SO bad and nothing comes out (except diarrhea). I'm a wreck. I called the triage line and I got an appt for 1:30. Poor DH has to come home to take care of DD and to meet the plumber because there is something wrong with our sewer pipe. I actually am in so much pain I would rather not drive but I have no other option. At least I dont' have to take DD with me.

benandjerrys, I commiserate with you on the crotch pain. I actually ended up in L&D last week because the pressure/pain was so bad and then I started spotting. Everything checked out fine and as for the pressure/pain-they had no clue 🤷🏼♀️. Hopefully you get a better answer than me. They said maybe this baby is riding a little lower than DD1 did, but it makes zero sense. I remember feeling the pressure last time, but not the pain. And not spotting. I do find that if I put my legs up and do some stretching, it helps. Also, I can neither confirm nor deny that a bag of frozen peas have been between my legs. It makes the pain go away somewhat. I hope everything checks out ok today. 🤞🏻

sparky85 hang in there! ❤️❤️ We had our 28w appt today. Tdap. Nothing new. Keep doing what I'm doing to treat my back pain. And stretch at night when if it hurts. mrsp84 i had really bad crotch pain with my DD. A good pelvic support belt worked wonders.

Uti or, more likely, a kidney stone. And my ureathra looks swollen and bruised. So. Great.

I had my strep B test at 32 weeks the last two pregnancies but that’s because I had my DS at 33. The results are only valid for 5 weeks so I retest at 37 weeks then.
And good afternoon! I had my 34 week checkup today, and got my tdap. And since I’m passed previously mentioned 33 week milestone now I’m officially on weekly appts!! Crazy to be here already, going to make December go faster than it already does!
Appt was normal though, nothing to report which is always a good thing.
We had a nice weekend. The Santa Family Day at the rink went great, then yesterday was pretty chill and I got most of our Christmas cards addressed.

The Santa Family Day at the rink went great, then yesterday was pretty chill and I got most of our Christmas cards addressed. That is really interesting that the results are only valid for 5 weeks because both of my previous pregnancies I presented at my initial 6-8ish week OB appt with a group B strep UTI and therefore didn't have the swab with either pregnancy, they just automatically gave me antibiotics at delivery! Maybe negatives are only valid for 5 weeks? Or maybe my practice is just weird.

Oh good point @peachesandcream, maybe it is just negative tests. I’ve never tested positive for it so I guess I haven’t had to find out. Otherwise, it always seems like there is slight differences between practices and and Canadian and American rules too with lots of things so who knows.

Holy cow cake that’s so scary! What a jerk and what an awful thing for the nurse to say! sparky85 hugs! I imagine that must be so frustrating for you. I’m glad baby is doing well! benandjerrys feel better! Where. Did. November. Go?! Man it feels like i was just worrying about going to Portland for the wedding. Sheesh! My leave starts 3 weeks from today. HR finally responded to me to let me know how to file the claim after FOUR emails to her over a month and a half of her telling me they didn’t know yet. All you do is file with the current company and then it automatically switches to the new one in 1/1. There’s no way they just made that decision today. All of the side eye. I feel better now that it’s in there but now I have to wait for them to mail me paperwork to have my doctor fill out and I’m really paranoid that won’t get done in the next 3 weeks. It’s going to be close.

Does anyone know when they test for group strep b? I'm trying to figure out if it will be tomorrow at my 36 week appointment. I'm not changing to weekly appointments for some reason so it would have to be either my 36 week or 38 week appointment. I never had weeklies with DD! We started every two weeks at 36 so we had 36, 38, & 40 scheduled but i had DD at 38w5d. I’m not sure what it will be with this one since I’m at a different hospital.
