Hey!!! I'll be 32w tomorrow and so far things are going well. I have my next growth scan on Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that. Last check my fluid levels were back down to normal, so that's reassuring. Rama is throwing me a baby shower and it's coming up soon, so I'm getting excited about that! I can't believe I've actually made it this far. It all seems so surreal sometimes.

I've been up all night puking and generally feeling awful, but around 4a it started getting better and I was able to at least lay on the couch without feeling worse. Morning sickness has never really gone away, so I'm not sure if it was just bad morning sickness or if I'm actually getting sick, but hopefully I'm over whatever it was.

Kid is getting big and it's getting harder and harder to do anything. She keeps wedging her feet up in my ribs, leaving me very sore/bruised, and my sister now has me paranoid that she might break one if my ribs since both of my grandmothers dealt with broken ribs during pregnancies and they were just as short as I am. So that's fun.

I suck at remembering to take bump pictures, but I'll update once I get dressed if I remember.

Hi guys! 34w4d and doing okay. After last weeks bleeding scare I've been a bit nervous. Baby's movement is changing a little which makes me nervous, less rapid kicks and more stretching feelings. Or i don't feel anything but look down to see my belly moving.

I have most of the essential stuff now. I'm counting down until I'm done at work. Trying to keep my nerves to a minimum.



Feeling pretty huge.

[teraiin]

starbuck27, that is so cute. I love your grandmother!

[jags8]

Hey friends! We are currently 39w2d. My groin hurts SO bad all the time, to the point I can barely walk. I am up 3-5x a night to pee, and I've been sleeping on the couch cuz it's comfier than the bed at this point. I am so ready to have this kid already. I have an appointment with my midwife this afternoon and I am going to let her do a cervical check just to see where I'm at.

Here's me on Sunday at 39w! Getting so huge for my little 4'11" frame!


FX for more BFPs here!

[penguin129]

Hi ladies! I'm 9 +1. We had a small issue with insurance and had to cancel my appointment for last Friday. Things are all figured out now and my new first appointment and U/S are going to be next Friday at 10 week and 4 days. I'm seeing the midwives this time around which is new to me because I only saw the doctors with DD. I had my heart set on announcing on Easter and decided to go ahead and make it FB public anyway. H took the pics and I turned DD's First Easter Basket into a new gender neutral basket for this baby by taking off the pink ribbon and adding the yellow ribbon and lining. I added a bonus pic of DD. PDQ Congrats to all the ladies who got BFP's last week and FX for even more:)

Hi GKU!
I am 28w on Thursday. I'll get a U/S to check on the babies kidneys. They were borderline too big at the anatomy scan so we'll see how they look this week.
I can very much tell both physically & mentally that I'm ending 2nd tri & waddling my way into the 3rd.

Here I am large & in charge:



Best wishes to the other grads & to GKU! Bring on moar BFPs!

[GOmamab15]

penguin129 those pics are adorable, great announcement idea!

[caz1221]

Everyone looks fantastic! Sorry to hear about those who aren't feeling great - I hope the nausea, soreness, pain, etc. get better very soon! I'm 14w 6d and still very tired and dealing with periodic nausea (especially in the mornings). I still haven't gotten around to taking a photo, but I have an obvious bump, mostly due to this baby's refusal to eat meat or veggies and insistence on all things carb and sugar. I'm looking forward to my anatomy scan on April 22nd - we are team green, but it's always fun to see the baby! Lurking and hoping for more BFPs all the time!

[mugster]

Hi all,

I made the mistake of trying to run/walk yesterday. It landed me a fun bump picture:



But excruciating pelvic pain. I should have known better, as it had been awhile since I'd run (though I have run some during this pregnancy). I was just itching to move. Next time I'll try the pool.

Anyway, I'm 25 weeks and little boy has started using my organs as punching bags. He got my kidney three or four times yesterday. But otherwise things are good.

[LadyNymeria]

Hi GKU! I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and can't believe I'm less than a month away from half-baked.

I felt what was clearly baby moving for this first time on Sunday. I had been feeling some odd sensations while trying to fall asleep lately, but Sunday was the first time that it was obviously baby. Felt like bubbles popping inside me! Looking forward to the movement being more consistent and obvious.

And we scheduled our anatomy scan!! Assuming baby cooperates we'll get to find out the sex on April 25!! Can't wait!!

FX for more GKU BFPs!!

[pismoduo]

@led, Sorry you're not feeling well, but yay that fluid levels are back down!
penguin129, that's an adorable announcement photo!

I'm at 15w4d. No bump yet, starting to feel some odd little pops that could be kicks or could be gas bubbles. Did my 2nd tri bloodwork for the genetic screening yesterday, so just waiting to hear back on that. Other than that, just starting to plan out nursery furniture, etc. Next week I start working full time from home, which should be nice.

[cocobellaf]

Hey GKU! I'm 24w+1d. Still dealing with morning sickness and major back pain. I get lots of kicks and "ninja dance parties". H loves it, me... not so much! Little girl is so strong already. I think we're in for some trouble once she's here!

Bad bathroom mirror picture, but it's what I've got.

[bighair12]

I am 26w5d today. We had another ultrasound this morning. They confirmed the accreta and are planning for a delivery the week of May 23. I will be mid 34 weeks at that time. MH is struggling on the handling front but he will get there. It will be a big surgery.

But baby girl looks great and is measuring right on time!

[mosdub]

MH and I are re-watching Season 5 now in preparation for Season 6. It looks like it should be a really good season and I can't wait for it to start up!!! I'm so excited!!!

[mcktymck]

Hi everyone!  I can't get over how many are you are in the final weeks, so exciting! As for me, I'll be hitting V-Day tomorrow which is nuts. My mom is throwing my baby shower so last night we sat down and ordered a bunch of stuff including the invitations, and it's making everything seem even more real! Baby is getting stronger with his kicks and punches and I'm feeling them all over the place which is so much fun. Anyways, here's a photo from Easter. I can't get over how big I'm getting, everyone is saying even just in the past week my belly has grown a lot. I'm hoping it slows down a little bit or else I'm in trouble!





As always I'm constantly stalking for new BFP announcements and am so excited for the recent ones!

[goldenlove3]

Hi GKU!! I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow! We have our last ultrasound at our RE on Friday and then we get released to the OB world. It's kind of scary. Symptoms so far haven't been horrible.. nausea comes and goes but the worst is the food aversions. I never know what to eat anymore. And I'm exhausted all the time!

We also announced to our families on Easter! Here's a picture of the basket we made for my parents. I hid the onsie and ultrasound with the candy (maybe too well) because it took a minute for them to realize what it was. My dad was just like "oh that's nice that you brought chocolate" meanwhile I'm dying inside waiting for it to click.  Once they finally realized, there were screams, tears and hugs all around. It was awesome.  



Hope everyone is doing well. I'm lurking everyday hoping to see more BFPs!

[chad5285]

Hello, hello!

Tomorrow G will be 7 months and is still basically a potted plant. No desire to crawl and prefers to be carried from place to place. She has learned that dropping her paci between the crib bars onto the floor is freaking hilarious so that's been fun.
I love seeing the recent BFPs and I hope there are many more!

[jwinct]

You ladies have some damn cute babies and bumps!
I'm still in the "Is that a food baby?" stage. I can tell and my family can tell I have a bump, but strangers would probably not realize it's because of a baby.

I'm 12w1d today. I found out that all my blood test results came back normal, with no signs of any abnormalities, which was a relief. I also found out I'm going to have a son! As soon as the lady said boy, I burst into tears and could barely talk because I was so happy. I didn't realize how much I was really hoping for a boy until that moment. DH and I told our girls together and they were so excited. They both were hoping for a baby brother and already refer to him by name (if he was a girl, we would be struggling with a name probably until birth). It's so cute.
I have my NT Scan tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to getting a little peek at him now that he's got arms and legs and actually looks like a baby, rather than the little blob with a flickering heartbeat that we saw a month ago.

All the babies are adorable! Bumps too (albeit a little uncomfortable...sorry). 
starbuck27,goldenlove3, so sweet how your family reacted to your news! I got teary eyed just reading it. 
jwinct, Congrats on finding out everything if ok with your baby boy! 
penguin129, sorry about the insurance problems, those are not fun. Cute announcement!
GOmamab15, Hope baby's lungs look alright this week!
bighair12, My T&P's, it sounds like a scary situation.

[Sammich_Cat]

My coworker is having her baby today! I'm so excited for her.

AFM, I'm 33 and some change.
I've started walking about 2 miles every day since I can't comfortably bike ride (boo), but then my hips kill me for a while afterwards and I trundle around like a drunk toddler trying to avoid that pain.

I have an appointment Thursday when we will be scheduling my c-section so I'll have a date to hold on to!

FX for more BFPs!

[jags8]

pippacricket have you tried Unisom to help with the sickness?

[littlelion]

I've been taking it to help me sleep. It's been helping a little with the nausea too but I of course seem to be having the issues before I take it.

Ah gotcha, I thought you meant you were waking in the MOTN to puke. I used to do that. Then I discovered Unisom for insomnia and sickness. It usually helped with my sickness until around 3:00 or 4:00 the next day.

[ohinvrtedworld]

This thread makes me so happy. You guys and your little babes are beautiful.

[kellybenelly83]

Hey! Ryan is 6 weeks old today, has completely outgrown newborn stuff, and is on his way through 3 month clothes at an alarming rate. He's already too long for pyjamas he wore last week! He's starting to smile so much more and coo at us, it's adorable and super fun to get some reinforcement that we're doing something right.
I saw my dr for my first post partum appointment this morning as everything is ok. He told me due to the tear and cut, I had to "make sure he goes slow and use more lube than you think".....thanks??
Anyways, here is Ryan being super adorbs.

Tapatalk why you no post photos??
