2. When is your next appointment? Check up this Thursday

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? A few days ago baby must have been very sleepy because she wasn't moving much and it had me a little nervous. But she was back to normal dancing around the next day so I'm feeling good.

[belle0720]

mrsdee1982 I'm allll about cereal right now! I mean, milk is good for heartburn anyways right?

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Things are good. He has been super active lately.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Capturing his movement on camera. So cool that he is strong enough to push out.

5. GTKY: What's your favorite meal? Lasagna is am all time favorite. Although I have not craved it once during this pregnancy.....

[belle0720]

mrskblack11 I forgot about the Tdap shot, wonder if I'll have to do this on Thursday... My husband just got his done a couple of weeks ago and his arm was killing him for like 2 days!

[mrsdee1982]

We're going to our PCP on Wednesday to get ours. I had one about 3 years ago, so I know it's going to hurt. Not looking forward to it

[noeliav]

Hello, everyone! Happy Monday
1. How far along are you?
29w2d

2. When is your next appointment?
Early next month.

3. How is PGAL brain treating you?
Good As uncomfortable it is to have "baby parts everywhere!" (as one of our MWs said on Fri), it's comforting to know he's doing well.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
Getting news on passing my GTT. Touring the birth center. Paying our OB/MW global fees.

5. GTKY: What's your favorite meal?
Right now I would love to go to a specific restaurant and eat the following: steak tartare, raw oysters, and marrow bones with crusty bread. :: drooooool ::

[mrskblack11]

noeliav, I would love to snack on some raw oysters....

belle0720, hopefully it won't be too bad. At least I am getting it done on a Friday so I can lounge around all weekend if it hurts.

What is a Tdap shot? I have never heard of it. Is it something we all need to do?

Tdap is the adult version for whooping cough vaccination. It covers tetnus, diptheria and pertussis (whooping cough).

I'll get mine shortly after birth (the next day or so), but I'm not worried about me/my family, since DD was recently immunized (within the last year) and DH and I were both boostered after DD's birth (less than 2.5 years ago).

1. How far along are you? 25 weeks.

2. When is your next appointment? 4/9.. I think. 4/2 for glucose test though.

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Good, she's been moving quite a bit, but still not strong enough for DH to feel her yet.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? We made lots of progress in the nursery and got our crib put together!

5. GTKY: What's your favorite meal? Right now, sno-cones. Not pregnant, I'd have to say anything with crawfish or chicken and sausage gumbo.

My DH just felt out little girl for the first time a few days ago, and I'm almost 30 weeks.  

[brennaz]

1. How far along are you? 28 weeks today!

2. When is your next appointment? As of now, it's scheduled for 4/10.

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Well, we are back on the roller coaster. On Friday I found out I'm already dilated to 1cm, and now I'm waiting on results for pre-e and FFN. We had drama like this with DS, and managed to make it to term, so I'm hoping this is the same thing.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Feeling her move. Every time I feel her in there, it's a little reaffirmation that while pregnancy sucks IMO, she is totally worth it.

5. GTKY: What's your favorite meal? Chicken tacos, but the kind with the fried corn tortilla shells.

And now I'm hungry.

[mrsdee1982]

brennaz, fingers crossed for you! Keep us posted

[brennaz]

mrsdee1982, thanks! I keep telling myself, the important thing is that she has a good chance of viability at this point, so I just need to keep calm and keep an eye on things. And get the rest of the baby essentials, like soon, just in case...

[belle0720]

sgarmand My H first felt baby move at 25 weeks, FX it'll happen for your H very soon! I was probably more excited about it than H. With each new symptom I realize more and more how special being pregnant is (even if I hate it sometimes) and especially so with baby's movement. I looove feeling baby move and couldn't wait for H to be able to (sort of) experience it too!

[maddib]

brennaz hoping everything is ok!! Keep us posted!

[belle0720]

brennaz Fingers crossed that baby stays put a while longer! Hope you are able to rest and take care of yourself!

[sgarmand]

belle0720, I want him to feel her so bad! He tries everyday and seems so sad when he can't feel anything. I can't wait to see his face light up when he finally does!

[mrsdee1982]

sgarmand, My DH was the same way. Every time I would comment that she was moving he would grab my belly. Then, when he finally did feel her, he was amazed. But again, it didn't happen until just a few days ago. It will happen soon enough

[noeliav]

brennaz
Keeping my FX for you to make it to 37w

[alayne926]

brennaz, I hope everything is ok! Keep us updated!

Have him lay his head on your stomach. My DH felt her at 23 weeks this way and it was the only way he could feel her until recently. He would just lay there for awhile until she eventually moved. He said he thought it was because his cheek was more sensitive to movements?? I dunno but he felt her that way all the time. The first time his face just lit up! It was so adorable!
