5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc)
3. Upcoming appts? I have a regular appointment tomorrow
4. Rant/Raves? My boss is not in today which is both a rant and a rave because I had an important meeting scheduled with him but I also love when he's not here. Also I shattered the glass on my phone this morning. Very sad.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) Honestly anything I actually want to do involves not being pregnant, like drinking etc. I do want to get some beach time in this summer before the baby b/c beach with an infant and 1 year old is not fun!

housecarder, I can't believe you have less than a month left!
1. How many weeks? 29 + 3
2. Symptoms? Not feeling too badly, but I think my super easy pregnancy has come to an end. It was nice while it lasted. Now I'm just generally uncomfortable and over the belly.
3. Upcoming appts? Standard appt Wed.
4. Rant/Raves? Heading to the east coast Thursday. Seeing my in-laws and will be there for 2 weddings. I'm so excited to see so many friends!
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) Well moving is the biggest item on our to-do list. But other than that, I really want to enjoy the last couple of months of one-on-one time with DS. I'm going to miss that. We are going to do a beach trip, zoo, amusement park, and a few other fun weekend adventures that will just be so much easier with 1 kid.
2. Symptoms? Nothing new really... Same fun we've all been having. Getting bigger every day and some days I feel soooo stretched out it feels like my ab muscles might burst.
3. Upcoming appts? 3 week check up this Thursday
4. Rant/Raves? I can't believe how close to the end we really are!! I find myself going back and forth between soooo unbelievably excited to see this baby girl and hold her in my arms for real, and being completely panicked that we're no where close to ready and we have no idea what we're doing! lol
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) Totally going to bring the cheese here... but just trying to enjoy every second I have with DH for the next few weeks (as well as moments to relax by myself). I know everything is going to change when baby girl gets here and I just want to enjoy our last few weeks as just a couple before becoming a family of 3. I 100% wouldn't change a thing with how things turned out getting pregnant so soon after getting married, but I want to soak up as much of the newlywed phase as we can before our little addition gets here!

1. How many weeks? 31 weeks, 2 days!
2. Symptoms? I.AM.TIRED! I'm getting out of breathe walking up the stairs to my car and it's getting difficult getting up from the couch. Lots of movement which I love!
3. Upcoming appts? Wednesday I have a regular ob appointment. I'm going to ask her to check my cervix since it hasn't been checked since 18 weeks.
4. Rant/Raves? I had a wedding on Saturday and while it was fun and all it really wore me out. I ended up taking a 5 hour nap to recuperate Sunday.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc)
Take the dogs to the beach, SLEEP, and go out to dinner as much as possible!
2. Symptoms? Short of breath, insomnia, heartburn. But overall I still feel decent.
3. Upcoming appts? Tomorrow
4. Rant/Raves? For the last 4.5 months I've been dying to get to the next step- everything with selling our old house, moving into our new house, getting to V-day after the PTL scare at 19 w, getting to 26w, then 28, etc. Now I just want time to stop so I can hopefully do some fun things.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) have a few date nights and do fun stuff with my daughter, like go to the pool as much as possible. I'm sure I'll look ridiculous at full term in my swimsuit, but I know there's no way I'll get in a pool during 6 weeks of PP bleeding so I better squeeze it in now!

1. How many weeks? 29+2
2. Symptoms? Heartburn and lots of kicks. I have also been having some awful mood swings. I spent last week in a really awful funk that I just couldn't seem to shake.
3. Upcoming appts? next Wednesday for an OB appt
4. Rant/Raves? H needs to mention to his parents that it would be nice if they bought S a gift or something. I suggested the Pack N Play or the swing. I think it is so dumb that we have to ask or suggest that they buy their last grandchild anything but H says that his parents wont even think of purchasing gifts unless they are specifically asked to buy something. Ugh, IL's...
My mom is so freaking excited for this baby she has been buying all the things.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) Having a kid and no babysitter/family nearby puts a damper on a lot of this stuff already for us. I would really like to take a day trip somewhere with just the three of us before S comes but i am not sure it will happen.
@beebee918 sorry about your phone. I did that once, and now I buy an Otter Box case. One day the phone fell out of the stroller as we walked across the street and a car ran it over. It was totally fine! I love these cases

So I have a weird list of symptoms that I had over the weekend. I'm curious to see if you all would call the OB or wait until your appointment Friday.
-still have my headache but they aren't concerned about it since my BP is stable. -tingling in hands that traveled to face and legs Saturday night, I had planned on calling Sunday morning but it went away. -pain in upper back on right side, possibly kidney? -pain under right side of rib cage. Could be Finn kicking around or something else, they specifically asked about this area when doing my pre e evaluations. -super dark urine even though I'm drinking tons of water. -lots of cramping and lower back pain. -I'm just exhausted even when I've done nothing but sleep.
BP is still stable and girls are moving like always. I feel like I keep bothering them with random things that aren't something to be concerned about.
Eta: I can't seem to catch my breath just sitting either, but again, that could be Finn in my lungs. They had to point the probe under my rib age to get her ultrasound pics.
2. Symptoms?: can't sleep, hip pain, all of the peeing, heartburn.
3. Upcoming appts?: May 19
4. Rant/Raves?: hmm... My baby shower is Sunday! I'm excited for that!
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here?: Well I'm on my last full day of my Cali vacation so that's one thing! It's been super fun. Other than that, just relaxing a lot in the pool I guess.
Post by tikoberry99 on May 16, 2016 11:28:50 GMT -5
housecarder I'm out of breathe all the time now and have tingling in my lower ribs, which I'm assuming is the baby pushing on my ribs with his feet. I would call the doctor for sure. The tingling face and dark urine would concern me.
2. Symptoms? I'm sore and uncomfortable all over. SPD and RLP have been teaming up the past few days and it feels really great. Insomnia. And bh contractions have really kicked in the past few days!
3. Upcoming appts? Next Friday
4. Rant/Raves? My baby shower was Saturday and it went well, I'll post more details on the baby shower thread. And then Sunday I volunteered for a pregnancy massage clinic and the woman really dug into my back because I've got a ton of knots on my right side, so today my skin is really tender and sore haha
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc). Move into our new place and get everything unpacked and set up. And have sex, because I couldn't tell you the last time that happened. There are days that I want to and we'll hint at it, but with him working so much, me hurting, and sharing space with my mom who has NO regard for privacy and barges into rooms without asking, sex is a little difficult to do.

1. How many weeks?: 31.5 weeks
2. Symptoms?: tired, hip pain that makes me limp/waddle, I pee a lot.
3. Upcoming appts?: May 19
4. Rant/Raves?: my boss just asked if he could use some stem cells from cord blood from this baby to inject into his knee to repair his torn meniscus. I am not 100 hundred percent sure he was joking. I am throughly weirded out by the prospect of sharing stem cells with him.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here?: Going to the zoo and lake with DD. Getting some house projects done. Going to a movie with my husband.
housecarder I would definitely call and not wait until Friday. You are never being a bother- I'm sure they would rather monitor you than wait until something is absolutely wrong. Definitely call!
mcktymck, I totally hear you on the sex thing. I'm very excited for the high school baseball season to finish up next week so my husband will have more time at home and will have an attention span longer than a goldfish. Its hard enough to feel sexy these days and doesn't help when I feel like I need to compete for his attention with baseball :-\

I ended up emailing my OB explaining my weird symptoms and asking if I should be concerned or just wait until Friday since most of it fixed itself. Makes me less anxious than trying to reach the nurse for something that might not be a problem. The nurse screens the emails anyway but at least this way she will be able to check it on her schedule.

1. How many weeks? 31 wks 3 days
2. Symptoms? Dry heaving in the am, exhausted all the time, uncomfortable at night, heartburn
3. Upcoming Appt? Next Monday
4. Rant/Raves? I really enjoyed our family trip to the aquarium. I am freaking tired all the time!
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) We did a mini family trip last weekend to the aquarium. Cookout with my bff.

I have had ZERO sex drive the entire pregnancy, but every now and then (maybe TMI) when I'm taking a shower the water will feel reaaally good on my nipples and all of a sudden I want to jump H haha. But we have yet to actually do it because of the whole privacy issue. 18 days left until we have the place to ourselves so that will help big time in bringing back the spark
So I have a weird list of symptoms that I had over the weekend. I'm curious to see if you all would call the OB or wait until your appointment Friday.

Eta: I can't seem to catch my breath just sitting either, but again, that could be Finn in my lungs. They had to point the probe under my rib age to get her ultrasound pics.
Call and also ask if you can get GD even this late in pregnancy. A lot of your symptoms are GD symptoms that can happen.

I have type 2 diabetes, but my numbers have been consistent with my diet and insulin.
housecarder, I forgot about the diabetes 2 for you. I really hope by Friday they can give you an answer and help with some of the symptoms you are having. I can't imagine having all of them for another month.
4. Rant/Raves? The past couple of days I've had really bad hip / butt bone pain on my right side. It hurts so bad I can't even sit on anything and it stings if I bend sometimes. I also can't sleep on that side and it's miserable. I really hope it doesn't last the rest of the pregnancy. On a plus note I got all the baby stuff washed and organized.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? (go out to dinner as much as possible, mini vacation, finish some fun project, etc) Nap and nap some more. Really though I want to try to take the kids to the beach/park as much as possible.

1. How many weeks? 29+4
2. Symptoms? A bit of everything and feeling pretty damn pregnant. Im also reall hungry all the time. Had my first little contractions here and there this week.
3. Upcoming appts? Still 3 weeks away. Then I go to every 2 weeks.
4. Rant/Raves? Sleeping sucks and I'm always tired.
5. Gtky: what are some non baby related things you want to enjoy/accomplish before baby gets here? Make H plan a date with me. Celebrate my kid's 4th birthday really early. Go to the beach. I've got a lot of adjusting to do as I finish work and DD finishes preschool and then we still have 9 weeks to kill.
