I'm so jealous of all you women that have had ultrasounds recently! My last one was at 20 weeks for the anatomy scan and that's the final one I'll have unless they have a reason to believe there might be issues and want to check it out. I want to see my baby again now that he's got some meat on his bones!
2. Symptoms: same old same old. Movement is getting more painful more often as he gets bigger. I definitely feel like he had a growth spurt in the last few days.
3. Upcoming appts?: June 14th regular checkup.
4. Rant/rave?: My nesting is getting close to done. After we pick up the rocker/recliner tomorrow, the last thing is getting a bookcase and a few hooks for the curtains and everything will be mostly ready!
5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer?: Relax near and in my pool.
3. Upcoming appt? Had one today. Baby is head down and ready to go. I'm also 1 1/2cm dialated and 70% effaced, I know that means nothing but the thought of progress makes me happy!
4. Rant/rave? None today.
5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? Go on a pontoon boat, go to the beach.

I had a growth scan at 31 weeks but we got no pictures from it and they didn't even visualize her head on the machine. It was really disappointing actually since I hadn't seen her since 19 weeks. Guess I'll be seeing her in about 7 weeks IRL though!SaveSave

1. How many weeks? 36 weeks
2. Symptoms? Hip pain, baby all up in my bladder. GD is under control with insulin at night and diet. Cannot wait for allllll the foods after delivery!
3. Upcoming appt? I have had 3 appts per week for a while (2 NST and 1 OB). Will continue with that until delivery. C section scheduled for June 28th!
4. Rant/rave? It's been in the 90's here and I don't have much in the way of warm weather maternity clothes. So damn hot.
5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? Parks with kiddo and BBQ at home. Less dishes are always good!

.I'm in the same boat - only ever had an ultrasound at 20 weeks (well I guess a dating one at 8 weeks too). But I don't mind. It makes the birth more exciting to me because I really have no clue what this baby looks like and seeing him/her in real life will be all that more amazing (definitely felt that way with DS)! Just trying to spin having no late ultrasounds in a positive direction. And being team green, the fewer opportunities for someone to spill the beans, the better!
3. Upcoming appt? Tomorrow for my last appointment! How did that happen!?
4. Rant/rave? I think they've dropped because I have to pee so much more often and everything is that much more swollen. Also I have fewer times of not being able to breathe.
5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? Swim!!

My MFM is ultrasound happy. I'm not considered high risk anymore, so he should have released me from his care at 20 weeks. He keeps ordering growth scans, and I declined the last one.
He said there was no medical reason to have it, except to make sure baby isn't too big. They have no reason to think baby is big, it's been measuring right on track the entire time. My MW agrees it's too much and I will be canceling the last one. I'm thankful baby is measuring on track, but in my case it isn't necessary. I also felt like last time he pushed for a lot more interventions during my induction I was comfortable with. Hence, I'm delivering with MWs this time since I'm no longer high risk.

Last time I loved the extra ultrasounds I got for being higher risk from GD. Until I had to pay $500 out of pocket for each of them. Now I'm cool with the 20 week being the last!

That's frustrating to have all of these extra ultrasounds. Good to hear your MW is on the same page as you. I know you're team green too so hopefully it stays that way for you until birth and nothing slips!

My H said the same thing a few days ago when I mentioned having to wait ~20 weeks to see the baby again. It'll be that much more exciting to see him in real life, and this way we won't have as much of an idea of what he might look like compared to others that have late pregnancy ultrasounds. Glad to hear there are others out there feeling the same way
And in your situation being team green, you're absolutely correct! That happened to my MIL when she was pregnant with H. She was waiting to find out, had a late ultrasound to make sure she would be able to deliver vaginally and he was very eager to show off his goods apparently haha
1. How many weeks? (For outside babies, how many weeks?) 33+4
2. Symptoms Just usual pregnancy stuff.
3. Upcoming appt? I had a growth us last week and my next appt is the 17th. They were concerned he was breech but luckily he is head down! I am trying for a vbac so he needs to be cooperative.
4. Rant/rave? Our car overheated on Wednesday. It's happened like seven times and we finally had enough. Luckily, H's grandpa works at a car dealership and got us a really good deal on a new one. Sucks we had to add one more expense but I love it so I'm not too stressed about it.
5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? Anything outside. Last summer I did an internship in Delaware. We lived at the beach and I'm really missing it this year. We live close to a lake now so we go all the time, but it's just not the same. We are still up In the air about going on our family trip because it's 8 hours away and I will be 36 weeks.

This was me! I was glad when they finally said he looked ok enough to stop!

1. How many weeks? (For outside babies, how many weeks?) 33 2. Symptoms Sore. Tired. Pee a lot. 3. Upcoming appt? Not until 35 weeks 4. Rant/rave? So much to do, so little time! 5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? Go boating and relax on the lake in the sunshine all day
2. Symptoms: Super tired. Getting hard to move around

5. What is your favorite thing to do in the summer?: Pool, but its just getting too hot for me now. It was like 117 Saturday..ugh

I don't have anymore either. I had one to date my pregnancy at 12-ish weeks, and then my 20 week one. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and was told by a lot of people to prepare myself for tons of appointment from here on out, but that apparently isn't the case for me (and I was hoping they would maybe do another ultrasound or something). I had an appointment at 30 weeks, my next is at 35, and then I have one at 37 and one at 39w2d (and a c-section scheduled for two days after that appointment). With my first, insurance would cover two of them (only more if medically necessary), but I ended up having five total because the doctor requested three additional ultrasounds. I feel like I need another look at this kid before he/she comes out!

Thanks melody330 and ginabini. Unfortunately it wasn't just a technicality, they want my doc to give more information about why I'm off. I called my OB and spoke to the secretary, she nearly blew a gasket because they've never had a form rejected before. They're redoing the form for me. Imagine the lawsuit if they force me back and something happens!

littlesthobo my family does an yearly camping trip for Labor Day in September. So far I'm planning on going but I'm not sure if that is asking for trouble. I camped when my others were tiny, but not that small, so I think I'll just be prepared to cancel if they are fussy babies.
