36 weeks this weekend

I'm on once a week visits now, on Tuesdays. This last week I had blood show with some consistent cramping and was braced for LO to make his appearance. But the show has gone away, along with the cramps, and he's still inside. I have hit a wall bigger than the last wall I hit in that my back hurts all. the. time. There is no longer any comfortable position for me to be in at all to get relief. And to top it off, I also have a raging head cold and can't breathe now. I've gone from taking it one day at a time to just taking it nap to nap. At least the end is near.

QOTW: I love my red hair. I used to hate it when I was younger but now that everyone tries to get this color artificially, I embrace the F out of it. I am very self conscious about my neck. I had a very very bad, blistered, slow to heal, skiing sunburn on it (took off my turtleneck in the afternoon and forgot to put sunscreen on it) in my mid twenties that left it somewhat scared in the sense of drastically aging it. It has looked like a 50 something year olds neck ever since. It didn't bother me until my face started to age more in the last 5 or so years and now I feel like it makes me look much older than I really am.

36 weeks today, baby is a honeydew melon!

I start the weekly appointments his week, and get the Strep B test, which I'm not worried about. Main bent is my hips are really starting to hurt. I've been dealing with SPD for quite a while, and having this severe hip pain at the same time sucks. But I can stick it out.

My best feature is my blue eyes. They've grayed out a little as I've gotten older, but they're still very bright. My H can't stop telling me how beautiful I am if I wear the smallest bit of eye makeup (which is very rare these days)

My worst feature is my crooked front teeth. DD has already inherited them (she is a little copy of me), so I hope this baby will skip them, and he'll look like his daddy, but with my blue eyes.

Weeks/fruit: 37 Weeks/ Winter Melon

Symptoms/appointments/celebrations/vents: 2 NSTs a week, plus ultrasound and Dr. Appt. Back pain and some hip pain, but so far so good! Going to a wedding tonight so fingers crosses all goes well!


QOTW: What do you think is your best feature? My eyes - they are big and bright and change color from blue to green.

Which one (when not pregnant) are you most self conscious about? Previously my legs - they are muscular but I think I am overly critical and that is not necessary.

Well I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow!

.

Hooray! Did I read your induction is set for 5/27? (HBD to me and your LO!)

[bendherova]

I'll be 35w on sunday, a coconut.

Symptoms are heartburn and pregsomnia. It's mixed with a lot of gas in the evening that I've been such an SS about I've seriously wondered if I was in labor.

Weekly appts start on 5/26.


qotw: best: height. I'm 6' tall. I was so self conscious about it as a teen, but it's awesome now.

worst/self conscious: pretty much the area from my belly button to mid-thigh. Ugh. hooray lumpy pear shaped body!

Hi all,

I love ticker change updates: it's getting so close!

35 weeks today. That makes her a coconut apparently. A coconut with a good karate chop!

OB appointment Thursday and MW on Friday. Symptoms aren't too bad at the moment, some back pain, mild reflux, tired. But coping with work: 2 weeks to go and counting.

Celebration was putting together an ikea shelf unit thing yesterday for LOs toys and finishing the nursery!

***poof***

I love it, very calming.

Best feature? I like being tall (5'11") because I only wear heels when I feel like it. Which was often pre-pregnancy but it was by choice. Most self conscious about my legs: they're a bit bandy and I have chunky knees so I don't really like to rock the short shorts.

DH is tall too so I expect we're having a string bean baby!

Weeks/fruit: 35/no idea

Symptoms/appointments/celebrations/vents
Anniversary was on Thursday. Just got back from Myrtle Beach. The first day, the waves were rough enough that it did more harm than good, but yesterday, I felt like I got a few hours off from physically being me. Coming out of the water, I was baffled by how hard it was to walk for a few seconds before I remembered I'm 8 months pregnant.

QOTW: What do you think is your best feature? Which one (when not pregnant) are you most self conscious about?

Hmm. I'm pretty average looking, but random people have stopped me to comment on my eyes and hair, and my mother-in-law says I have the cutest nose and smile. Probably most self-conscious about the birthmarks on my face (they are smallish and the same color as most of my face by this point) or my voice (I come from a musical family.)

[sapphyre0702]

I'm updating my vent - I'm on my way to a wedding and feel (and look) like a whale. I know I'm having a baby any day and should be kinder to myself but I ugly cried while getting ready and can't handle anyone's comments.

37 weeks tomorrow. Due June 7th.

I'm having a really stressful week. Our little fur baby major had to have sudden surgery yesterday. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of these things but they found a ' foxtail' that had dug into her lower abdomen. It's a plant w a pointy sharp tip that can dig into the skin anywhere in a dog and wreak havoc. It must have attached to her belly while we were walking and dug in from there. sounds like something from a scifi movie but it's true.

The surgery went well yesterday and they removed the fox tail but now she is so uncomfortable from the stitches on her belly even w the pain meds. I just hate to see our poor baby in pain. I'm also stressing because if I go into labor anytime ill stress over who will care for her. My parents do not like dogs and would have no clue how to force a pill down her throat or put the cone on her head. they will be staying at our house watching DS while we are in the hospital. I'm praying I deliver closer to 39/40 weeks so major can be closer to full recovery. Either that or if I go into labor early I'll have DH go home after labor instead of staying the night at the hospital. I just keep repeating what DH says when I get stressed. That there is no sense worrying about something that hasn't happened yet.

And now for the awkward transition of favorite and least favorite feature of mine...guys have always told me I have nice legs so I guess my legs? Least favorite is my teeth. They are just not as white as I would like. I want to get them laser whitened when I have the time.

I could hardly get out of the house to go to DS1's soccer game today, and that was only for an hour and didn't involved getting dressed up.   Huge((((hugs)))) to you.

@poppyc8 that's awful. Dogs are so resilient though he'll be fine in a few days. Both of you rest up!

sapphyre0702 Sorry you had that moment. Nothing anyone says can help at times like that huh? I hope the wedding is fun to take your mind off it.

35 weeks today! Coconut?

Have an appt on Tuesday- the first of my weekly spots. I think we're doing GBS this week, which I'm not thrilled about.

Symptoms are pretty consistent these days. Low back pain, peeing all the time, clingy, tired and achy most of the time. My heartburn has been pretty under control since my OB gave me a prescription.

My best feature: my hair or my eyes. I love the color of my hair- it's got red and blonde streaks, but I'm definitely a brunette. It's also really thick, which I love. My eyes are green/hazel and I just like how unique they are.

I am most self conscious about my shoulders/arms. My shoulders are pretty broad, and I always feel like my arms look huge. I'm not fat- but I've always wanted nice sculpted arms, but have never really been able to achieve it. I need to lift more, I guess.

Thank you! Your nursery looks great by the way!

[silv3rlining]

37 weeks! Early term, woohoo! Also oh crap it's coming soon :-p

Appt Weds. Will have another cervical check, the usual doppler, fundal height, pee in cup, weight, BP, etc.

Symptoms come and go but pressure, sciatica, and of course peeing all.the.time.

Best feature: legs or back

Self-concious feature: my ears. Which is why when a little boy (maybe 4 y.o) wouldn't play with my son (21.5 months) the other day at the playground bc his ears were so/too big it seriously broke my momma heart. I wanted to curl up and cry. (Thankfully DS didn't hear the boy/have any idea what he was saying. AND I know DSs ears are perfect.)

[pghtruelove]

36 weeks holy cow!

I have an appointment on Thursday, getting my group b strep test done. Have a massage on Tuesday, which I am really excited for,
I am in a lot of pain for some reason. My body just all the sudden started to get very sore yesterday.

Had my shower yesterday. It was really nice! Having a lot of symptoms. Teeth breaking, guns bleeding, RLS, pregsomnia, nausea, back pain, hip pain, headache, and I could go on and on.

My best feature maybe my eyes, they change from green to golden, or my smile, it's pretty contagious
My worst is my skin. I am very self concious about it because I have Psoriasis. For a long time no matter how hot it was I would wear long sleeves and pants. Now Idgaf anymore and just deal with people staring and asking if I was burned.

[mathistm]

35 weeks today
Symptoms are not too bad, tired but mostly from allergy meds I think. Also really having to slow down. We went to a bbq festival downtown yesterday and after about 2 hours of walking around I was spent.
Appointment tomorrow and then we go to once a week
My best feature would have to be either my hair or my eyes. I have thick blonde hair that is naturally highlighted depending on what season it is. And I have blueish green eyes, pretty much exactly the same as husbands. I am definitely most self conscious about my skin. I have gone through bouts of cystic acne throughout my life starting in my late teens and have some scarring from it. My DH purchased me skin treatments just before finding out we were expecting so I'm excited to use them once baby is here

[noname83]

35 weeks today - yay 35/35

I'm starting my weekly appointments, I got the Tdap last week and have the GPS testing this week.

I had a really stressful start to the week last week with work, but it should be much better until I'm out. Tomorrow is also my birthday so I'm curious what my husband has planned.

Best feature I think is my eyes. I have green eyes that I always get complemented on. A close second is my chest, I'm curious what it'll be like after pregnancy and nursing. Worst one is my shoulders/upper arms. I think my shoulders are too broad and look a little manly.

[mathistm]

I'm pretty pumped/scared to realize that 35 weeks means 35 days until due date. Wowzers!
