2. Symptoms or aches and pains?: everything? Lol. I just know that nothing is comfortable, ever.
3. Upcoming appts?: Tomorrow for normal appt.
4. Rant/rave?: ehhhh. Sort of just in that waiting period at this point I guess. I really want this baby out of me but also want to enjoy my last few weeks of not being responsible for another human.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?): I only drink once or twice a year so I don't miss any alcohol. I guess I also didn't really eat/drink anything else that was forbidden while pregnant. I'm just excited to eat what I want without the heartburn.
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Pelvic pain/pressure, hip pain, nausea, irritable, sleeping like crap, cramping.
3. Upcoming appts? Had one today, everything looked good. The DR keeps telling me to come in right away when I go into labor because he thinks it'll be quick, freaking me out.
4. Rant/rave? I'm so sick of feeling like crap every time I eat something.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?)I want a margarita in the worst way.
I was going to ask you how it was going! Hopefully better than ours. She took forever to start sleeping well in her crib so I really shouldn't be so surprised. I just want something to be consistent before baby 2 is here. And I would rather it not be consistently horrible lol.
He was okay, then good, then awful and we are kinda in the middle now. He has not been feeling well, so I am not sure how that has affected things. Night time has been alright, but some nights he takes a long time to settle. Naps were hit pretty hard, but I am hoping we are turning a corner there.
Sounds rough for you all as well. Hope it starts going better or at least stays in te middle. Why can't they just be experts? Lol
2. I can barely walk. Seriously. I did way too much this past weekend. Very swollen hands, feet, and vajayjay heart burn like woah. flint I am ready for you to be out now.
3. Thursday for a regular OB appointment. I feel like I want to start asking about delivery routines and procedure but don't want to be "that mom" that is like super anxious and needs everything laid out. Is that even a thing. I'm probably over-thinking this lol
4. Rant = general pain and discomfort. Rave = showers are now all over and except for DHs diaper party I can just chillax. And even for that I just have to show up and eat hot dogs lol.

mugster, I'm really sorry about being GBS positive. Hopefully you can still labor without too many interventions at the hospital as long as possible.
mcktymck, your Saturday sounds rough! Within the past 1.5 months, I've gone to a bachelorette party and 2 weddings. Additionally, I've gotten together with girlfriends for several hangouts involving alcohol. I don't feel a need to get super drunk, but I just want to join in the fun!
1. How many weeks? 33 + 3
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Not feeling too badly. Just over being pregnant. But I remember how rough the first few weeks with DS were and how I looked at pregnant women and wished I was still in their shoes. So I'm trying very hard not to wish this pregnancy away!
3. Upcoming appts? Tomorrow - standard midwife appt and pertussis shot.
4. Rant/rave? Rave: Had an exhausting but really fun weekend! And my hometown Penguins won the Stanley Cup so that's exciting! Rant: DS is sick and now I'm getting what I'm pretty sure is my 5th or 6th cold this pregnancy. Boo. And on a serious note, I'm just so disgusted and sad by what happened in Orlando yesterday morning. I feel like these shootings are never going to end.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) I'm a beer drinker and love summer wheat beers. acorn99, I've been craving beer for this entire pregnancy - cannot wait to drink again! H has strict orders to have many options waiting at home for me after this baby comes. And we will be getting sushi to go often.
rungirlrun Exactly! I'm not even a big drinker, usually have one or two drinks here and there and am good. But being out somewhere where it seems EVERYONE but you is drinking? Pure torture! They were all doing a tasting at the winery so I sniffed H's and would daydream about how good they probably tasted haha
rungirlrun is the pertussis shot standard? I don't think ice heard of that before.
My OB office strongly recommends that mom and dad both get the pertussis (whooping cough) shot before baby comes, especially mom so that the vaccine has time to take affect and get into babies system before they come out. They also told us to strongly recommend/enforce that anyone planning on being around Sam for the first couple months get one as well, just because so many people out there now a days aren't getting the vaccines.

Ray, yep +1 to this. It's definitely standard in the US. I know women get it every pregnancy in the 3rd trimester. Whooping cough can be fatal to an infant.
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Super tired lately and random aches and pains but nothing crazy
3. Upcoming appts? Regular appointment on Thursday
4. Rant/rave? I'm going on vacation about 4 hours away on Saturday. I'll be 38-39 weeks. Very risky but I'm super excited for a week of relaxation before the baby.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) Definitely wine. I'm looking forward to just having wine in the house and being able to have a glass whenever I want.
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Mostly sleepless nights. If it's not the muscle spasms in my legs, a full bladder, or my hips on fire it the reflux.
3. Upcoming appts? This week I have an appointment with my MW. She mentions the GBS test, so hopefully she doesn't want to do an internal. I always have a lot of spotting and cramps afterwards
4. Rant/rave? Today is our 7 year anniversary. I gave DH a card this morning, and he was all perplexed. We don't even do gifts for this, but a card isn't out of the ordinary. So I didn't get anything other than a big hug and happy anniversary. I'm not mad at all, just a card would have been nice!
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) I don't drink, but I am looking forward to bagels and lox, and oysters on the half shell. ::::drool::::
Ty folks! My OB has yet to bring it up so I'll ask about it Thursday
I asked my OB about it and he said don't worry about it. Have I mentioned I hate my doctors? I need to go to the pharmacy and get it.
Wait what? It's standard with pregnancy - like whooping cough can kill a baby. I feel like it's just as standard as the glucose test. I'd be super annoyed to have to take extra time to get it elsewhere. I hate your doctor too.

His exact words were like what are the chances you'll be around someone who could pass whooping cough onto you? Ummm even if it's next to nothing might as well get the shot.

And I don't think it's weird or out of the ordinary to ask about labor procedures or your birth plan. You are in the home stretch, now is the time to do it.

1. How many weeks? 38 tomorrow!
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? I'd like to poop normally TYVM, my feet are cement blocks, and if I eat past 4pm, I am up all night with heartburn. Basically I am living like an 80 year old.
3. Upcoming appts? Last OB appt Thursday, then baby time on Tuesday!!
4. Rant/rave? My bump dropped a lot over the week, so a lot of pressure on my diaphragm and esophagus has lifted. It is still there, but better. Focusing on the positive!!
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) In this summer heat, ice-cold beer! And wine. And margaritas. Okay, I feel like a lush. But they are do delicious!

1. How many weeks? 37 weeks! Two weeks tomorrow until my c section
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Hip pain is making sleep hard, but not as bad as first pregnancy. Would like to lay off the stool softener but I'm scared to.
3. Upcoming appts? 2 NST's and 1 ob appt per week. Really tired of NST's.
4. Rant/rave? Washed the newborn clothes and got the car seat out. It's getting really real. Rant: I think ds is coming down with a cold. DNW.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) Stella Artois Hard Cidre. Yum!

My OB is definitely wanting people around us to be vaccinated with pertussis because I'm allergic to it.

That's like saying he doesn't do vaxes at all for the same reason!
rungirlrunmelody330 see, I'm the exact opposite. I hate cards. I think they're a money grab and always just get thrown out (at least in or house) lol I'd rather get a hug and special supper at home or something lol

I've saved every card H has ever given me. He doesn't just sign his name (that would be a waste in my opinion) but writes a meaningful card. I love getting them and told him very early on in our relationship how important cards are to me. Since having DS, we put our relationship second so it's nice to remind each other why we got married in the first place and that we love each other in writing.

H and I were friends in high school but didn't date. So our first Valentine's Day married he went back and wrote me a card for every year we knew each other but weren't together. He wrote nice notes in every one.
2. Symptoms or aches and pains? Some days are more miserable than others, but I feel pretty good in general. She gets in weird positions and it feels like my stomach will rip open and she'll fall out. Pleasant!
3. Upcoming appts? Monday is the start of my every week appointments, I'll do the GBS test and I think my doc does a cervical check. I may decline.
4. Rant/rave? We were in San Antonio visiting my H's family this weekend and had the best time. SIL and I went through tons of baby clothes and now I have enough to last probably two years. Boy do I love her and her expensive taste My rant is that H really wanted to turn the A/C off while we were gone and it was 91 fucking degrees in our house when we got back last night. 91 degrees. Kill kill kill.
5. What alcoholic beverage are you most looking forward to? (If you don't drink, other food or drink?) I've been drinking small glasses of wine throughout my whole pregnancy, which usually just ends up in heartburn. I've been jonesing for a margarita like whoa. Maybe H can sneak a margarita thermos into the hospital for me.
