35w1d and if you missed my posted from yesterday, i am absolutely exhausted. I need a nap by 10am at the latest and don't get one while at work and certainly not at home (at least not until 1 which is when DD goes down). This is my last week of work tho so can i really complain? 4 days to go! I also start weekly appts next week!

Qotw:i sleep on the left and i never leave my side even if DH isn't there. Right now i sleep on my right side mostly. Baby squishes my stomach which makes me feel pukey if i lay on my left. Non-pregnant ducky likes to sleep on her back and occasionally on her belly.

35 weeks today! No major updates on my end until next week probably. I'm still going for twice weekly NSTs due to gestational diabetes every Monday and Thursday. Today it seemed like the baby's heart rate was quite high to me, but she was very active & the nurse said it was normal. Next Monday I have a growth ultrasound with MFM and an appointment after with the OB, so I'll find out more about my hopeful VBAC and how baby's looking- I'm a bit nervous about the appointment because this is the same type of appointment where I learned I'd 'need' to schedule a C with DD (long story). I'm hoping I will get a good report this time.

QOTW: I switched from right side to left side midway through this pregnancy so I wouldn't have to roll out of the bed over my support pillow to go to the bathroom. I have always been a stomach sleeper and I still occasionally wake up on my stomach, but more on my left hip/ side these days.

30+2 today. I had my first NST today- baby was moving, but not enough, so I had to eat my banana that I brought I also drove in a freakin blizzard to get there, but I generally don't mind driving in the snow; it's other people I get concerned with! OB was happy with things, and that keeps me happy!

I have been getting so tired, but I'm having trouble sleeping. Saturday was a contraction filled day, and before bed I realized they were every 10 minutes. I layed down and drank water and then fell asleep. OB wasn't concerned about every 10 minutes, especially because they were not painful, (and because the stopped also).

QOTW: I sleep on the right side of our bed, and if we travel, I always prefer being closer to the door-I dont know why! I always sleep on my right side in the fetal position, lol! While pg, I try to stay on my left side. I never sleep on my stomach and if I sleep on my back I wake up with terrible back pain.

29+4, big, tired, and now terrified of what the next 10.5 weeks will bring. If anyone has tips or tricks to keep themselves mobile and relatively comfortable in these last weeks, please pass them on!

I have a MW appt this Friday, but I'm pretty sure I won't get any additional testing for the rest of this pregnancy unless something seems wrong. I'm planning on double checking this. I also want to ask about some of their default practices, like if they ever induce, or how long they give me if my water breaks first.

QOTW: I sleep on whichever side of the bed is closest to the bathroom, and I have done this long before pregnancy. I prefer sleeping on my right side, but I know for both pregnancy and heartburn the left side is better, so I've been trying to do that more.

kmc84 - Glad the NST went well!
snarkysparklefart - Wow, twice weekly NSTs?! That'll eat up your work week! Good luck with the MFM! FX all looks good.
@ducky719 - Can you take naps at work? Sounds fabulous! Congrats on being so close to leave!!!

37+2. Midwife appointment today. I don't think they're doing any additional cervical checks but I'm antsy to know if my 1 cm last week has made any progress. My coworker, who is a mother of 6, said I look like I'm about to give birth, whatever that means. I feel mostly ok but my stress levels at work are sky-high and I can't decide if I'm being a huge wuss for wanting to leave work this early. I'm going to ask my midwives if they'll give me a doctor's note just in case.

QOTW: I have always been a side sleeper, always on the left side of the bed. No particular reason. I never really slept on my back but suddenly it's all I can think about- I just want the option!

ProfessorChaos...i may have to shut my door this week.

[snarkysparklefart]

ProfessorChaos I'm actually s SAHM but it's definitely affected H's work schedule. He's in retail management, so he takes off every Monday to be here with DD (Monday appointments usually include an apt with the OB afterwards, and they're only available during her naptime!) or to accompany me- he will come along next week since its a bigger deal, and my mom is coming to help me on Thursdays. I can't imagine trying to do all these appts at my old job!

...wrong board!
