Uh...my nipple started leaking last night. So that's fun. I mean, I knew it happened during pregnancy, but I thought it was one of those things that started way further down the line. Please tell me I'm not in for another 5 months of leaky nipples...
I keep thinking my doctors appointment is tomorrow but it's actually today. Lol. Good thing I looked at the calendar this am.
As of yesterday my acid reflux is officially out of control. I used all of my tums yesterday, I will go buy some this morning. Any other ways to help with it? I will ask my doctor today when I see her.
21 weeks tomorrow. My a/s is this afternoon. Excited to see baby, nervous that not everything will be okay. I'm also hoping we get some visual confirmation it's a girl, not that the DNA testing is likely to be wrong ...
loira and boiler717, have you all met up yet?? Hope your vacation has been great, boiler!
We're knee deep in having our bathrooms renovated right now, which is more stressful than I had considered. We were supposed to have the master bath up and running this past weekend, but the grout on the shower floor is missing in a few places so we have to wait for the contractor to come back tomorrow and fix it. Then we have to wait to seal it, and in the meantime they're tearing our second bathroom (in our 2 bath house). So I'm pretty sure we'll be showering at my in-laws at some point this week, which I'm not looking forward to. Hoping these projects don't linger so we can get around to baby prep sooner rather than later. I'm feeling a little stressed that I haven't even thought about it all yet. I know there's time. We'll get there!
ivy I hope it is smooth sailing for you at the a/s.
@awick My BFF ended up on prevacid for her heartburn through the last 2 months of her pregnancy. Hers was terrible.
cactuscookie That happened to me with DS. I think it started around month 7 though. At first I was totally freaked out because I didn't know what it was.
I had a growth scan at the MFM this morning and it was confirmed, we're having a girl.

Ha, yeah, I'm pretty sure the chromosome testing is more accurate than an ultrasound, but they did confirm it at my a/s. And then printed me out a close up, perfectly focused picture of the evidence.

Mine's been leaking for the last 2 weeks. The other one leaks a bit occasionally, but this one had a nipple piercing (stupid, stupid, stupid!) lo these many years ago, and it leaks BAD.

That was my biggest problem during pregnancy, too. It was pretty constant, but Tums took the edge off. I distinctly remember panicking one day when I realized I had switched purses but not moved the Tums into my new bag. No bueno.
The only other thing that helped me was figuring out my triggers. Unfortunately for me, the biggest trigger was WATER, lol. So I tried to force myself into a few chug-sessions per day chased with Tums rather than sipping throughout the day. Oh, and try milk, too. It didn't help me, but I know it helps a lot of people.
ivy, we did meet up and boiler717 is so nice and cool.
Muddled, there was no option for 'super like' so this is me saying SUPERLIKE!
I have my A/S tomorrow. I'm nervous about it, since this is the scan where they found something wrong with V's heart (that led to the testing, that confirmed the genetic disorder). I know we won't be facing the same problem this time, but it's still a huge milestone for me.
I'm moving on Sunday and H isn't joining me until Christmas. We're trying to spend a bunch of time together this week. I know it will fly by, and I'll have my mum and dad to distract me, but we've never been apart this long. We're going to go to the memorial garden this week and pick out a commemorative option for V. I'm having a lot of feelings about that.
Thanx FastHands. I have GERD normally, but I know my triggers and it's been 6-7 years since I've had any problems with it, and I don't take meds for it either.
I think my triggers yesterday was a large meal with i shoveled in. I was so hungry and I started getting nauseous so I just wanted to eat. I won't do that again.

So...what do you do about it? I currently have a bandaid over my nipple, and you can surely imagine how awesome the cold wet bandaid feels.

So many hugs, for both situations. I'm so glad you're still with your husband for the a/s. I hope getting past this milestone puts you a little more at ease.

Nursing pads? I don't know how much your leaking but they might help.

I've taken to using those cotton makeup pads and taping them on. During the day, the pressure from my bra seems to help, but at night I wake up and I've still leaked onto the sheets. It's... not ideal.
Who is your labor buddy Muddled? I'm going to need to know who I need to stalk. Are you feeling okay?
Tums are my go-to awick14. Sorry you're dealing with this. I hope your appointment goes well!!
Maybe Jalapeñomel? She doesn't post here, but I'll probably be texting her anyhow. I'm sure she wouldnt mind updating you.
Physically, I feel fine. I certainly have the normal complaints and discomfort, but nothing crazy. Mentally, I question how ready we actually are for this. FastHands
loira, I hope that you are able to accomplish everything you need to do this week in order to leave with peace in your heart and no regrets. Know that in addition to to your husband's, you have at least 20 other virtual hands holding yours as you go through all of this.
awick14, heartburn and reflux are the worst. I'm glad you know your triggers. Tomatoes are one of mine and I've found them impossible to avoid. It has given me a great reason to eat ice cream every night, though.
On an unrelated note, if looks could kill, the woman who just walked in to me for no apparant reason would be in serious trouble.

Ahh, Muddled, how are you so close? I am seriously so excited for the TTTC ladies to meet their babies.
Good luck today at your a/s, ivy! Yay! Oh my gosh, good luck with the bathroom renovation! We did both bathrooms at once too, and it was nuts.
I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable posting here. I feel like I'm in limbo, though! I had another blood draw yesterday at 5w exactly, and it was 1860; needed 1400 for doubling, so I feel better! It feels like I should be further along, but with a late O date and finding out so early, I know it's right. Just waiting now for a first ultrasound next Thursday.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

Great news! I (and I think we all) totally understand about the feeling of being in limbo. This board is perfect for that stage (and, obviously, later too).
Lol, cactuscookie! I had the same thought. I would look into the reusable nursing pads. I ended up not leaking at all (be jealous, ladies!) despite nursing for over 2 years, but I was all prepared with these organic cotton pads that you can just throw in the wash. Bamboozies (I think that's the name) are also really popular.
Huge hugs, loira! I will be thinking of you for your scan. I can only imagine that you're feeling anxious, so know that so many of us are thinking of you and sending you good thoughts.

I also have my anatomy scan this week - looks like lots of us! Mine is Thursday morning. Looking forward to confirmation of the babies' sexes and hopefully hearing everything else is going well. I had a level 2 with DS, so I know that's a possibility and not necessarily anything to worry about, but still can't help but worry a little.
