How is everyone doing this week?

[MissSally]

Hi! How are you?

I'm doing ok. One week away from V-day (I think?) and I am really anxious about it. Feeling him move is a huge help, but I feel like my anxiety is getting worse and worse as I go. Isn't it supposed to be going the other way?! Ugh.

I go to the OB today and I really want to ask her about the weird muscle spasms I've been experiencing. Of course my app said something about pre-E and upper abdominal pain. They have me on baby aspirin to help combat that. But again, just the anxiety.

[bepandnick]

Ugh MissSally I hate that the anxiety never really goes away. I hope your dr can ease your mind about the muscle spasms today.

I'm ok. Feeling baby move is helping, except for when I realize I haven't really felt him/her move and then I get anxious again. I feel a lot better about my placenta having an extra lobe after talking to my OB, but am still concerned about how it may impact the cord or cause some growth issues in 3rd tri. But my DH put it best, worst case is baby gets delivered early and DS was a 34 weeker so we've been there before at least.

Will you go in for growth scans in third tri? I had them bi-monthly with DD. I'm going to talk to the OB about what her plans are with this one.

I start with scans with the MFM again at 27w where they'll check on growth and the cord. I'll also have weekly (maybe bi-weekly) NSTs starting at 30w.
