Can I AW here? I saw my dr this morning for my regular prenatal and I passed my glucose test and all other bloodwork she requested came back with excellent numbers, she was happy with my weight gain and blood pressure, and told me to keep up the good work! Only thing a little off was my uterus measured 26 weeks instead of 24, but she wasn't concerned with that yet (I naturally am just a tiny bit since DS was born at 33 weeks but he was always measuring right on so I really shouldn't compare). But, always a relief to have a great appointment!

So mine is like a half good half bad thing. I woke up this morning to new pictures of my first daughter(I was 13 when I had her and gave her up for adoption and I haven't got new pictures in a year). She will be 11 next week(I would post a picture but they aren't mine to post and I would be pissed if someone else posted a picture of my child!) Anyway, I'm just super annoyed because the adoption agency always sends them to her father and not me and I get text pictures.... And he's a heroin addict! I don't understand why I don't get them. I'm really close with the head of the adoption agency and always talk to her and ask her to send them to me but they. ALWAYS still go to him. I was also adopted from this agency in Pittsburgh when I was a baby so I've been involved with them forever. Ugh whatever. At least I got beautiful new pictures of Jenna! :-D.
24w checkup tomorrow! My right eye is twitching. It cost $500 to fix my car (paid this morning), and there's still a whole list of things it needs. :: sigh :: I am *very* tempted to get Starbucks as an afternoon snack. I probably should settle for a glass of milk, though.

Random question: My OB is sending me to a perinatologist to check for signs of premature labor, IC, etc. for current issues as well as a history (DS managed to stay baking until 39-6, but it took three trips to L&D between 28 weeks and 33 weeks). By the time I see the perinatologist I will be about 26 weeks. I don't know what they will do at that point if there are concerns, but I'm wondering what to expect? I'm assuming an ultrasound will be involved, and probably a review of my history...anything else? Anything I should do to prepare for the visit, any questions I should ask, etc.?
My OB's office scheduled the appointment directly, and since this is the only perinatal office in the area, and within a hospital at that, it's really hard to get through to talk to a human. So any input appreciated
Day 3 of minor car accident annoyance. Sitting stopped at a red light with a large truck stopped behind me for several seconds, then bam, he slams into me. Claims his foot slid off the brake. And DD was with me too. Freaked her out. It honestly wasn't very forceful, more loud than anything, but it did create a giant crack in my back fender , probably because it was so cold and brittle, it cracked so easily. No worries about inside baby though; he's been moving away exactly like normal - so that was a relief. But it's just so annoying dealing with the insurance crap. Of course when we pulled over and looked quickly (in the single digit temperatures), he said he didn't see damage, and I didn't either - at that time. Once I finished the drive to preschool and dropped my daughter off, then I noticed this small crack to the right of a section on my fender that used to be attached, but easily lifted off and revealed the 2 ft long crack underneathe! Of course I didn't notice that while the other driver was still there. So now I feel like the guy is going to fight me on it, and I'm just so annoyed with all of the insurance phone calls and transfers and "please holds" and not knowing anything at this point!

All things considered, I'm doing ok. Heartburn is a bitch, but not the end of the world, and I'm exhausted most of the time, and full - which makes sense, it's getting old though. Kiddo is going to be a sleeper like his dad I think - gogogogo until you fall over. DH fights sleep all the time. Kiddo has a solid day, day and a half of movement and then a day if nothing. Can't wait for that in the future.

On symptom watch for Hep A. I ate frozen berries (in smoothie) and now there's a huge product recall because there are 9 cases linking the berries with Hep A! Products were not local to Australia and imported some where from China. Pissed off. Trying to remember if I got Hep A shot when I went to Thailand.
Just got back from the Dr. I went in for an ultrasound on my breast, I had found a lump and wanted to get it checked out. I thought it was just clogged milk. Turns out it's a tumour. My Dr. told me it's probably benign and that we should check it out in a few months to see if it changes. Not sure if I should be panicking right now.
Tumor is a super scary word, but just means something that's not supposed to grow there.
However, that being said, I personally wouldn't take the wait and see approach. Can they get you in for a "level 2" (or more diagnostic) ultrasound to check density and edges of the mass?

tiffbot, @demanda88, belle0720, Thanks ladies. I normally wouldn't be worried but obviously since I'm carrying precious cargo it's definitely stressing me out and apparently it can take up to 3 weeks to display symptoms. I should be fine.
@ pbubblegum, Urrghhh noone likes the T-word. Really sorry you have to go through this stress.
You and me both After SO brought home fast food I was STILL hungry so I made cereal and toast. My bread looked fine but as soon as I took a bite I could taste it..... ughhhhhhh
And yeah, Every day @ 3 I need to eat EVERYTHING. Then I need a big nap.
I've been getting a weird mold taste after I eat string cheese. There's no mold that I can see and it's been multiple packages...it could be just a weird taste thing from pregnancy?
Very weird, I had this too! It was just once and I have since been eating other cheeses from the same package and not noticed it. The first one definitely didn't have mold on it either, and was well before the expiration date. Just so weird.

This is me too. They think it's a benign tumor, but are still referring me to a breast surgeon. They said he may do the biopsy right away or may wait, but I definitely know how your feeling. Hopefully all the pregnancy hormones and breast changes just made the lumps come out more?
I'm trying to stay positive, my appt is next Tuesday'. How long have you felt the lump? Fx for you that's it's nothing.

Sorry you are going through this too. Please let us know of any updates. FX for you both.
Today I had two people who have never had children look at me, horrified, and gang up on me to tell me I cannot have a massage while pregnant because I will go into labor. Oh FFS just STFU.
I have had leg cramps two nights in a row. I swear I am drinking enough water. My calves are so tight and it is painful. It is so much harder to stretch while pregnant.
My new flooring will be finished around noon today and I am SUPER STOKED to pick up the crib from my FIL's and start setting up the room. I do not know how I am expected to focus on work today.
Those are the absolute worst. My doctor told me that getting those cramps is from needing magnesium and potassium. I don't know if that's just me but I've been told that by other doctors too. Bananas seem to be my miracle cure....one a day is a huge help in my world.
leenziepops, that's so scary! Fingers crossed for you! pbubblegum, I'm so sorry you are going through this, but I'm sure if the doctor was concerned he wouldn't want you to wait so you can (hopefully) take that as a good sign.
This cold is no fun at all!! My dad was complaining from FL that it was 44, I turned to him (over the phone) and was like hi its 10 right now and its only supposed to get to a high of 14...be quite and stop complaining... 44 is a heat wave for us!
What Im about to say has Zero relation to what I just quoted but dmoney it was the first thing of yours I could find.
That TB thread where that SS said you weren't a mom because you didn't have human children.. So you referred to us dogmoms as FARMERS. I'm dead. Lolololool
HAHA I'm sorry I needed something to refer us to. But how dare she tell me that I'm not a mom because I don't have a Child that walks and talks like a human. Today is my CHILD"s birthday. My little boy (who is a 90 pound Goldendoodle) is 2 years old today. He is my love and I do everything for him. If that's not being a mom then IDK wtf is. Last time I checked a dog cant take care of him self 100% of the time. So they need a PARENT to do things for us. Farmers was just the first thing that came to my mind. But that is def a SS thread. I Specifically like how she turned it around on me and told me I was being a hypricate because I asked for prayers because my mom is sick and my sister who was 36 weeks pregnant with twins had fallen and had to be rushed to the hospital... That's a little bit different that bitching about being tired from taking the kids to school and picking them up. I really lost it on them all yesterday and I don't feel bad about it one bit!

Bluedaisy, I heard that potassium helps too! I ate a banana yesterday and am having one today too. Also been trying to stretch it out throughout the day.

Sorry to hear that you're going through this as well. My Dr. told me to wait a few months to see if it changes, because it's most likely benign it won't. She said there's no need to panic over it. She said to wait another 3-4 months before I get it checked out again. I'm not sure how long it's been there, maybe a few weeks? I only noticed it a couple weeks ago when I was putting on lotion. What about you. Keeping my fingers crossed for us both! xo
I noticed mine about 3 weeks ago, too. My doctor said it felt like a gland, but said to get the ultrasound at the imaging place to stop worrying. The fact that the radiologist is recommending seeing a breast surgeon is what's freaking me out, despite my OB not thinking it's anything worse, and the ultrasound tech saying it doesn't have the appearance of anything worse. Did your OB do the ultrasound?
