Rants/Raves? Not much...it's hot and I am surprised by how much the heat has been affecting me so far

[LadyNymeria]

cbowl - Doesn't have to be something you're already good at! Could be anything you'd like to be good at!

[LadyNymeria]

How many weeks? 28w5d

EDD? 9/7

Next Appointment? Had my last monthly check-up this morning. Starting bi-weekly appointments 7/5. How am I on every 2 weeks already??

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired as always. Plus my back and hips are not happy with all the stuff I had to get done over the weekend. Otherwise pretty good.

Rants/Raves? Nursery is coming along! MH got the hardwood floor down over the weekend so it's being sanded tomorrow, then stained and poly'd Tuesday through Friday. Going to look at paint color swatches this weekend because we'll be ready for paint in no time!

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Either Irish Dancing (yes, I'm considering it a sport) or Gymnastics. Maybe both?

[singingsea]

How many weeks? 29w3d

EDD? September 2nd.

Next Appointment? June 30th.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I felt like shit earlier but I left work and slept for a while. I'm feeling better. My urine was pretty dark and I'm suspecting dehydration might be at play again. I thought I was drinking enough water but apparently not. Plus it's crazy hot today.

Rants/Raves? I'm kind of excited to hit 30 weeks on Friday. Not a technical milestone but it marks the 10 week count down.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? I'm not a super sporty person. Before I got pregnant I was into running.

[merryrissmas]

How many weeks? 25+3

EDD? 9/30

Next Appointment? 7/1 for glucose test & rhogam shot 

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Achy. Lots of back and hip and groin pain.

Rants/Raves? The 100° weather we've had for the last week can just fuck right off. Thank God for air conditioning.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Tennis, hands down. I want to win Wimbledon, lol.

[abcmommy]

How many weeks? 29

EDD? September 5th

Next appointment? 6/23 for my last monthly check-up and the glucose test. I should have done this at 28 weeks, but my doctor was on vacation.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? At this point it feels like I need to pee all the time. This seems to happen earlier with each pregnancy and it will only get worse.

Rants/raves? Not much really. I got to see my newborn niece yesterday. She's so tiny and it made me more excited to have a newborn again. She made my toddlers look like giants!

QOTW? Definitely tennis! I used to play in high school and I would love to pick it up again. It's been five years though so I'd probably be terrible.

[lpj]

How many weeks? 27w2d

EDD? Sept 18

Next Appointment? Next Wednesday June 29

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Hmm ok, generally fine but with enough BH contractions and weird occasional twinges to keep me on my toes. I'm going to talk to my midwife next week about maybe organising some extra monitoring/a late ultrasound to relieve some of my anxiety about this baby also coming early. There's no reason it should, but I'd fee a lot better knowing everything was on track/cervix looking log and closed still etc.

Rants/Raves? DH was meant to have done his last trip away last week. But surprise surprise his boss called yesterday and he's leaving again tomorrow. Should only be a couple of nights but I'm definitely starting to lose the energy to be a great mother to DD when he is away. Toddlers are exhausting guys!

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Tennis, too, I think, or maybe skiing?

[rufus426]

How many weeks? 29

EDD? 9/5/16

Next Appointment? Friday 7/8

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Swollen ankles suck. Thankfully my heartburn is so much better since I've been taking Zantac daily.

Rants/Raves? Waiting to hear exactly when the pool will be installed, but a few weeks ago, we were told July 1st. I'm really hoping it doesn't get pushed back again. I need some relief from this heat.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? I don't like super muscular ladies so maybe running.

[annapunkalunka]

How many weeks? 29+4

EDD? 9/1

Next Appointment? 6/28. I've booked all of my appointments through a week past my due date *gulp*

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling alright. I'm absolutely horrible at drinking enough. I wish I could just chug a bunch at a time. I think I've started mildly swelling after a long work day, but it doesn't look it, my shoes just get tight.

Rants/Raves? I've just had enough of people. If I have to hear another "you're going to be pregnant all summer!?" I may go crazy! I'm super touchy this time, compared to last time. So self conscious about every thing I do/say related to parenting. I just feel blah.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? I was a field hockey player in high school and I loved it. Either that or softball. So much fun.

[danielle]

How many weeks? 27w2d

EDD? 9/17

Next Appointment? Ultrasound scheduled for 7/9. Next appt with doctor we for 7/22.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Heartburn is definitely my worst symptom right now.

Rants/Raves? I was really looking forward to having a set date to look forward to this pregnancy since I'm having a RCS, but it looks like I'll be in limbo and everything will depend on my stubborn placenta.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? I wish I was good at running. It seems like a great way to clear your mind.

[Deleted]

How many weeks? 25+1

EDD? 10/02

Next Appointment? July 5th with midwife for monthly check up and 1 hr glucose

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired and sore.

Rants/Raves? I really need to drink more water at work. I get so dehydrated during my shift and feel so much pressure.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in?
Eta: diving because it's super fun to watch.

[fem]

How many weeks? 25+5

EDD? 9/28

Next Appointment? 7/5

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Mostly just tired and huge.

Rants/Raves? Being with my 2 year old all day is wiping me out. I am so tired tonight. She's a fiesty one.

QOTW: I played basketball in college so I'd have to choose that. And not have my body (mostly knees) start falling apart at age 21 like they did.

[caz1221]

How many weeks? 26w 6d

EDD? 9/21

Next Appointment? 7/7 for my last monthly check-up (before going to every 2 weeks) & glucose test

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Pretty good. Heartburn comes and goes, but that's the worst symptom at this point.

Rants/Raves? We're trying to put a driveway on our property (we live in the city, so it would be a huge convenience and added value to the house) - filed the application with the city in early March and then found out in late May they had lost it. Re-filed it in late May, and now we can't get an answer from the city as to whether they even have it. So frustrating.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? I love to run, so maybe that or another sport with lots of running like soccer.

[cassey910]

How many weeks? 29w2d
EDD? 9/4
Next Appointment? 6/27 for regular appointment. Started my every two weeks last week. So crazy!
Symptoms/how are you feeling? I've been having more back and groin pain. I do fee better after my Chiropractor visit yesterday. Besides that feeling very hungry again.
Rants/Raves? I really want to get her bedroom done but it hasn't happened yet.
QOTW: I loved water skiing when I was a little younger so water skiing.

[danizee]

How many weeks? 26 and a half.

EDD? Sept 23

Next Appointment? Today, part of twice weekly NSTs

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. My back hurts in the morning but as soon as I get up and move I feel fine. Some heartburn in the evenings, managed with a few Tums.

Rants/Raves?
Getting overwhelmed with all these appointments. With the twice weekly NSTs I now have 3-4 appointments a week...

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in?
Any equestrian sport really, probably dressage. I think I'm too chicken for jumping nowadays.

[serendipity731]

How many weeks? 26+5

EDD? 9/22

Next Appointment? 7/1

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Heartburn ugh, hip and back pain. I've also been getting random pelvic bone pain. It's weird.

Rants/Raves? Family sadness. Thank you all for the support.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in?
So I'm not athletic at all but my first thought was, it'd be awesome to be a pro soccer (futbol) player for one of the big clubs in Europe. Then I realized it's all males, but thought, fuck it I'm keeping that answer!

[beckyrosen]

How many weeks? 28+6

EDD? 9/7

Next Appointment? 7/7

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Huge. Getting comfy at night is hard, then I end up waking with a stiff neck. Ugh, 11 more weeks of this crap.

Rants/Raves? Excited to be on the home stretch. I love feeling LO move, but she's already starting to make me uncomfortable with some of her kicks.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Tennis would be fun, or hockey, I always loved playing street hockey when I was a kid.

Rants/Raves? We have just about everything we need for these babies. Can't believe we're almost to single digit weeks left?

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Definitely not football - I like my brain. Hm maybe basketball or tennis would be cool!

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, heartburns, starting to feel squished by the belly.

29w 5d

EDD?
9/1

Next Appointment?
Friday - weekly speciality appointment for bpps

Symptoms/how are you feeling?
Hot, tired, and miserable

Rants/Raves?
See above! Dr said I'm measuring about 36 weeks for a singleton pregnancy. Third tri exhaustion is 10x worse than first tri for me.

Soccer! The endurance those girls have is crazy!

[hurricanerek]

How many weeks?
28w1d

EDD?
9/12

Next Appointment?
7/19 for my last monthly appt (which I thought was today's but apparently not)

Symptoms/how are you feeling?
Everything hurts. Lots of cramping and pressure. Sleeping is hard and I'm lucky to get 6 hours a night. Swollen feet. That's enough complaining from me today.

Rants/Raves?
I just had my appointment this morning and baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead which is no surprise. We believe baby is also head-down which is a huuuuuge relief.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in?
Either running or swimming.

[beckyrosen]

hurricanerek I thought my last appt was going to be my last monthly one too. But I'm the same as you, my next appt is in 2.5 weeks then I'm on every 2 weeks for a bit.

[lexisophie55]

How many weeks? 27 weeks

EDD? Sept 17th

Next Appointment? Thursday - 23rd - glucose and check up

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I feel great. A few rough days - but that was due to dehydration. Feel like a million bucks today and have forgotten I'm pregnant all day. I do need to slow down though.

Rants/Raves? We have done 0 preparing, no names discussion - nothing. I am having a hard time rushing the growing up of ds2 - so I think Im putting it off. I'm not ready for 3. And of course that made me cry this morning while one was screaming his head off for no reason and I caught the other one eating handfuls of sugar - literally. I know we'll be fine and we did this to ourselves, but I just needed a 3 minute pity party for myself. And I have nothing to complain about - I'm on pregnancy #3, with a 3 and 1 year old and I'm doing great....and we are healthy. We do thank god that our difficult pregnancy was #1. I would be a damn mess if the 3rd one had a heart defect.

QOTW: If you could be a pro athlete, what sport would you want to excel in? Volleyball - they look amazing.

[lexisophie55]

I'm a hot freaking mess. This morning I was crying because I was pregnant and don't know what I was thinking (about TTC so fast). Now I read all the comments and realize that I have 0 complaints compared to most - pregnancy is very nice to me. I love being pregnant and this is the last one. I'm now crying because this is the last pregnancy. WTF

I'd be crying if it were my last one too. I think we'll be having one more. I hate being pregnant. I like the idea of being pregnant, but, pregnancy, well, most of it sucks. 11 more weeks to go.

[catlady22]

How many weeks? 30w1d

I'll be a complete wreck when I'm pregnant with my last one. I don't even want to think about it. Pregnancy has its rough parts but there's something about growing your own child that is so precious.
Be gentle with yourself and get prepared to treasure the newborn stage.

[eboyd83]

How many weeks?28 weeks

EDD?9/14

Next Appointment?I had a growth scan yesterday (everything was great) and I have a regular appointment today (have to do the glucose test YUCK!)

Symptoms/how are you feeling?I'm feeling good other than that crazy back pain, which is making me super grumpy. But my hubs has been off work the last couple days so has been able to help with lo and bending over things. It kind of gave me a break so I'm feeling a little better.

Rants/Raves? I'm so over pregnancy discomfort and I am totally at peace and feel complete with the knowledge that this is my last baby.
