[racegurl87]

PGAL Sunday Ticker Change:
If you have yet to join us and your week turns over on Sunday, we would love to have you!

How far along are you? Fruit if you know?

How are you feeling?

Any recent or upcoming milestones?

Upcoming appointments?

Thoughts/vents:

QOTW: Are you rooting for any team playing in the Super Bowl later today?



**Is there anyone that would be willing to take over this weekly check-in?

How far along are you? Fruit if you know? 36w still a honeydew melon according to my pregnancy app

How are you feeling? Tired, oh so tired.

Any recent or upcoming milestones? I'm at weekly appointments now, so that's definitely a milestone.

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow morning, and then every Monday until I deliver

Thoughts/vents: I wish that I could sleep for more than a few hours at a time. I feel like I haven't had a complete night's sleep in a year.

QOTW: Are you rooting for any team playing in the Super Bowl later today? My husband is a Patriots fan so I guess I'll be rooting for them. I honestly could care less about football though.

How far along are you?
31 weeks! Pineapple/squash

How are you feeling?
So much better after passing my kidney stone! But still really tired and breathless

Any recent or upcoming milestones?
Not particularly except i never thought i would get this far! Taking birth classes which make me feel more stressed then prepared... Lol oh and i have a preadmission apt at hospital next week!

Upcoming appointments: next week on wednesday.

Thoughts/vents: I am actually becoming quite scared of the actual birth. Like unreasonably freaked out...

QOTW: not really. Just wanted to see commercials and katy perry. Lol

racegurl87. Sorry you are so tired. Hope you can get some sleep soon.

@racegirl87 I can take it over if you wish

How far along are you? Fruit if you know? Was 12 weeks on Sunday making me a plum

How are you feeling? feeling a lot better these days morning sickness only hits me now in morning before I eat and occasionally throughout day but it's sooo much better. Boobs are still huge and killing me and those little bumps are still there haha

Any recent or upcoming milestones? My milestone will be 20 weeks as that's when I lost the baby but I'm being positive and taking it week by week

Upcoming appointments? NT scan is feb 9 they will be checking the baby's brain for ntd *thats what I lost
My baby too last time* so I'm extremely scared and worried and even though my hubby says everything will be perfect us pgal girls have other things going on in our head.

Thoughts/vents:so far I'm feeling positive about this pregnancy . There are so many worries just because of last time and making it "so far" thinking I was safe so it takes away from enjoying pregnancy now but I'm trying. I believe this is my rainbow baby

QOTW: Are you rooting for any team playing in the Super Bowl later today? Pats

How far along are you? Fruit if you know? 10wks/prune

How are you feeling? nauseous all the time....I have to force myself to eat because nothing looks appealing to me. When I am hungry I take a few bits and I'm full. It feels like Thanksgiving torcher when your eyes are bigger than your stomach!

Any recent or upcoming milestones? Getting past the 1st Trimester is my next milestone which won't be for another few weeks.

Upcoming appointments? Next Appt. is Feb. 23rd and then NT scan on Feb. 24th

Thoughts/vents: How is it that everything can be going great and all of a sudden dread fills? Friday afternoon I noticed some spotting. I've never spotted before so I wasn't sure if could be called spotting since I didn't see blood. It looked more like drainage which is what I normally get a day before starting my period. The feeling I got in that bathroom stall at work is one that I will never forget. I was in a great mood and all of a sudden my heart stopped I felt confused and all I could do was hold my baby and pray that God allowed my LO to stay. I stopped drainage spotting so I guess that's a good thing. Dr. office just said if there is blood or I start cramping really bad go to the ER other than that take it easy...which is hard to do when you are moving!! My mom banned me from touching ANYTHING this weekend!

QOTW: Are you rooting for any team playing in the Super Bowl later today? Don't watch sports...I lucked out with my DH because he isn't into them either!



racegurl87 I can take over the board if you wish. I hope that you can get some sleep soon!

backstreetpixie I'm so glad to hear that you finally passed your kidney stone!!! I always have wondered how helpful those parenting classes really are.

xoalicia Good luck with your NT scan next week! I understand what you mean about how hubbys are always saying everything will be fine but in our minds we know what could/can happen and it is often a task to not slip towards the dark side from time to time!

xoalicia and mills0401 Thank you both for offering to take over the check-in. It doesn't matter to me who takes it over, do you want to decide between the two of you?

xoalicia: PGAL brain is definitely a pain to deal with. I hope that your NT scan helps ease some of your fears about your LO. Husbands mean well, but experiencing a loss is different for them than it is for us.... and being pregnant again after a loss is different too.

mills0401 I hope that you're able to rest and that your spotting stops. I know many women from my BMB that had spotting and their LO is still kicking and making them uncomfortable in their 3rd tri.

backstreetpixie I understand being freaked out about birth. Now that I'm 36w and so far my cervix is tight and closed I'm freaked out about the reality of being induced and a possible c-section. Are you attending any childbirth classes that your hospital/area offers?

Thanks for wishing I get some sleep. I try and rest/take naps during the day when I can.

racegurl87. Yeah our hospital requires you to take them when you are a FTM. I have had 2 of 4. And that is kinda why i am freaking out. I mean I took human biology in college. I know the basics... But then she passes around a thing showing how big the cervix has to get and shows us a video of a natural birth with no meds or anything and just all the talk of pain and complications... Doesn't help my cousin 2 weeks ago had to have a c-section for her twin cuz she developed preeclampsia and her organs were shutting down (they are all okay.) or my other cousin hemmoraged for 2 hours after having her baby, my mom had a still born, and 2 emergency c sections with her living children... My family history of child birth is freaking me out! Can i see a video of a woman giving birth with an epidural? Please? Lol

I can definitely understand your apprehension hearing about your family history. Just remember, that their labor will not be the same as your own. I'm surprised they didn't show you more than just one type of birth. In our childbirth prep class we got to watch a video that was med free, one with an epidural, and one with narcotics.

Well we have 2 more classes so maybe they will have more videos? I dunno. I also am taking infant and child cpr this weekend and then next month 2 breast feeding classes.
