[sloan]

1. How far along are you? 34 weeks today

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? I need to pack my hospital bag- I hope I can find my list from last time so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel so to speak.

3. Questions for the group?

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? Brought to you by me missing wine and it being NYE- though really I anticipate eating lots of sandwiches with deli meat post partum, and as much sushi as my stomach can handle. Also eggs with runny yolks, though I got a SousVide for Christmas so I technically could now pasteurize eggs with it and then use those, and if I had more than 6 weeks left I would be more likely to do that- not sure I will bother at this point though.

1. How far along are you?
11w, 3d

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?
Looking forward to a low-key NYE, and I plan to pick up a bottle of sparkling cider and some appetizers to eat later tonight.  I might try to sneak in a nap after work, so I can stay up until midnight, lol.

3. Questions for the group?
How far along were you when you noticed your hair getting thicker? That is one pregnancy perk I am looking forward to!

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives?
Smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. My doctor encourages me to eat 1-3 servings of salmon (or other fish) each week, but I miss poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.

[swiftlyirun]

1. How far along are you? 33+3

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? Ugh, some more bleeding yesterday. It's not anything much, but it still freaks me out. Also, I was like in PAIN last night-what felt like muscle pain- likely from not turning from side to side properly? So. Many. Third trimester problems. 

3. Questions for the group? DD1's birthday is 2/14. My due date with this one is 2/15. The OB would like to induce me if all goes well around 39 weeks (SUPER fast delivery/labor last time). I planned DD1's birthday party on 2/1- is that crazy?

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? Wine and sushi. I still do lunchmeat but usually heat it, so I'll appreciate just having regular lunchmeat then too.

Ha. I had zero idea that hollandaise was a no-no, had some this morning. However, it was from IHOP, so I seriously doubt it was made with raw eggs.

Ehhh. What kind of bday party? How old is she turning? I’m probably being induced at 38 weeks (1/23) and DD1’s 2nd bday is 1/29. There will be no party. Lol.

[sunflower17]

1. How far along are you? 34 +5 days

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?
I’m just super uncomfortable! Also feeling some guilt that DD1 will no longer have me all to herself.

3. Questions for the group? Nope

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? Alcohol lol. I’ve eaten everything in limited quantities so I don’t feel like I missed any food.

1. How far along are you? 7w3d

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?
First scan and appt is a week from Friday.
3. Questions for the group?
Trying to think of a fun way to tell 4yo DD in a few weeks.

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives?
Deli meat specifically from a bagel place in town mmm

It's a trampoline place party- they do everything- I just show up. Worst case, my parents live in town and would be happy to throw the party and DH could leave the hospital and go too. 

She's turning 4 and her party is literally all she has talked about since before Thanksgiving (not encouraged by us!).

Shoot. I didn't even think they would want to induce earlier than 39, and since I was induced at 41+1 last time, the idea that the baby could possibly come earlier than 40 weeks seems like a far fetched idea lol. 

[megamous]

1. How far along are you? 20 weeks, 5 days

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?

So ready for a nap. I've been sick over Christmas and not able to rest. maybe this weekend I will get to sleep in?

3. Questions for the group?

Did anyone else ever have a fibroid in their cervix? I have one that is a little over 2 cm in diameter that was found during the anatomy scan on Friday. The doctor wants to see if it grows and so I am going for another scan next Friday. If it grows, it could cause me to dilate early and go into preterm labor. Also, it could require a C-section.

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? A cinnamon roll and something like sour patch kids. I am a preexisting diabetic, so I'm not really supposed to eat them anyway but at least I am not endangering another person.

[doglove]

1. How far along are you? 36 + 1

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? Walking a lot in hopes I can get the baby to drop. Every time I see a photo of my bloated face I cry. I’m okay without photos though.

3. Questions for the group? Have any of you cloth diapered with previous baby? If so, how many is a good number? I’ve got 30, just want to make sure I’m covered. We’ll substitute with disposable when he/she is NB and goes to daycare.

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? I also miss wine and I miss goat cheese and queso on my weekly taco Tuesday nachos.

[urbancowgirl]

1. How far along are you? 28w

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? I had my glucose test this morning, and I hope I passed. I scored a brand new FP diaper backpack for $40 on a BST site, and I'm pretty excited about it, lol.

3. Questions for the group? TMI, but I have been so constipated for the past two weeks. I think it's because I neglected exercise and water consumption leading up to Christmas. It's been a lot worse this pregnancy overall, though. What are your best tips for relieving/avoiding constipation, other than the obvious (fiber, water, exercise)? I bought some Miralax today and I hope it helps.

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? I can't freaking wait to have a margarita and an Aperol spritz. I still eat deli meat and pasteurized cheeses, so I don't really feel like I've missed out on anything else.

[urbancowgirl]

madDawg228, my hair didn't really get thicker, but I stopped shedding as much in the second trimester, which has been nice. I usually lose gobs of hair when I wash it, so it's nice not dealing with that.

[swiftlyirun]

madDawg228 almost immediately with the girls, but this time, it has just fallen out more and I got a seriously itchy scalp. It's SUPER annoying.

[vmars]

1. How far along are you? 36 weeks, 6 days

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week? DS2 is still breech and I went back to MFM to see if I am a candidate to have him turned. His head is still measuring 5 weeks ahead so he’s measuring 42 weeks (98th percentile) and he’s 7lb11oz. DS was the same way but he was head down. I never went into labor with DS and had a csection scheduled at 40 weeks 1 day because I didn’t make any progress to get induced. I ended up with pre-e that day. I decided to schedule a csection for 39 weeks and hoping I will have a better csection experience this time.

3. Questions for the group? If you had a repeat csection, was it any better than the first time?

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? Sushi and wine lol

[murphybrown]

1. How far along are you?
37 weeks


2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?
I'm having a baby in two days. 


3. Questions for the group?
Nope, just bracing for the chaos of two kids.


4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives? Turkey sub. I didn't really miss them terribly, but I am looking forward to a good one. 

[urbancowgirl]

Crap, I failed the one hour test. 😩

1. 17w1d today


2. I'm finally starting to feel less fatigued, which I am very grateful for.  I cannot believe how big my belly is, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that this is my 3rd pregnancy.  

3. None today

4.  I can't wait to eat sushi, although I am probably going to eat some when we travel to Japan in February.  I surprisingly haven't been missing alcohol that much this pregnancy.  

[dreamcrisp1]

doglove, we cloth diaper. Not sure what ‘system’ you’re using but 30 is more than enough. We do AI2 and I have about 12-15 (? I think). I wash diaper laundry usually every other night so it’s dry by the AM.

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?

I passed my 3 hour glucose test! I'm so relieved. For that first hour I was convinced I was going to die. It was rough but the last two hours were much easier. 


3. Questions for the group?
How many outfits for you and baby are you bringing to the hospital? I'm thinking a nursing nightgown for me with one loose fitting dress to wear home. And then 2 sleepers, maybe 3, for the baby. When DS was born he peed through his outfits and DH had to bring another one for him to come home in. 


4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives?
Wine

Hopefully you’ll pass the three hour!

[lucky428]

1 I am 35w

2 my cs is 4 weeks from tomorrow and I’m slightly freaking out. There’s so much to do and I’m doubting my ability to handle 3 kids after a really rough day.

3 is there a magical way to prep your toddler? She’s obsessed with “baby sister” and points to my belly or the ultrasound pics or any baby she sees, but I don’t really think I can do much to prep her. She’s almost 3. Luckily I have a 10yo and I know she will follow his lead.

4. I’m looking forward to jersey mikes, worrying less about salad recalls, and my migraine medication.

I had Jersey Mikes yesterday. Even my OB was like treat yourself. Lol The high risk doc actually told me to have a little champagne, but I don’t like champagne lol.

Same.

[Monica Geller]

megamous I don’t have a fibroid but I have a cervical polyp. It either bleeds or causes gross discharge. I don’t have any advice just commiseration.

1. How far along are you? 26w 1d

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for the week?
Baby is a little gymnast lately. I love the baby kicks. Also we started working on our DS’s new room so we can transition him before the baby comes and set up the nursery. I

3. Questions for the group? I’m having such anxiety lately about this pregnancy. If you had a lot of anxiety in pregnancy how did you deal it??

4. What can you not wait to eat after baby arrives?
Eggs Benedict. I almost want to have it delivered to the hospital the morning after giving birth. It’s crazy how much I want it, probably because I can’t have any.

[urbancowgirl]

Thank you for the encouragement, sunflower17 and psychmom! I'm hopeful that I'll pass the three hour test, but trying to accept that it's not the end of the world if I don't.
