How far along? 24+4
Symptoms? More sore with some cramps. Tired more and more.
Next appt? Tomorrow
Rant/raves? I feel like I'm bleeding money for our house and baby.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? I'm not even sure. I bought a new patio umbrella last week? I bought a couple maternity dresses a couple weeks ago.
Symptoms? Sleepy all the time and the heartburn. Headache today. Not sure if pregnancy related.
Next appt? I am on every other week appointments now, so next week!!
Rant/raves? Feeling large and in charge. Trying not to stress at this point about LO being breech. Doctor reminds me that there is plenty of time for her to flip. But because I am a worrier, I will worry about it.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? I haven't bought myself anything other than food in a while. But I love food, so it is all good.
Symptoms? Occasional heartburn, back soreness by the end of the day, some BH if I overdo it with physical stuff, some swelling in my hands if I get even slightly dehydrated, and some very minor nosebleeds.
Next appt? Growth scan on 4/19.. monthly checkup on the 25th with GTT
Rant/raves? Definitely appreciating that my back has stopped constantly killing me. Reached the point where I have to stand sort of sideways to do the dishes, which is interesting lol.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? I bought a humidifier for our bedroom to help with the nosebleeds... before that it was my baby shower dress!
Symptoms? Feeling large, peeing every 5 minutes, pelvic pain, insomnia.
Next appt? This week. I don't want to be weighed.
Rant/raves? I got a cold over the weekend and I'm miserable. / I can feel baby's body parts sometimes now trying to poke out of my stomach which I love.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? Maternity clothes probably.
Symptoms? Lots of movement - to the point where it distracts me from what I am doing. I am also enjoying seeing my stomach move everytime she does. Peeing every 5 minutes even though its just a drop each time *frustrating*. Sciatic nerve pain anyone?
Next appt? 4/20 - Growth scan, GTT, and OB
Rant/raves? I am travelling today via plane for the first time since being pregnant. With T as soon as I started travelling, I started swelling so I am interested to see how this goes.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? Vera Bradley backpack on Zuilily for my breast pump. I did find a mint floral maternity dress that I am going to buy for my shower though. Now to get paid

Symptoms? I am so freaking tired. I at least don't think it is depression. So it could be stress, hypersomnia, or just being pregnant. I am not trying out breathing strips and hoping it will help me not wake up with a sore throat.
Next appt? 4/20 and 4/25 one is for my ob and the other is the endo. I don't remember which is which right now. lol
Rant/raves? DH felt a kick Saturday and he really felt one last night! After he went to bed I could even see a few kicks from the outside!!! I have to admit I teared up a bit. I still can't believe we might actually end up with a baby.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? Black vinyl to finish up our sock board project.
Symptoms? acid reflux, rib pain, back pain, side pain, pain, pain, pain.
Next appt? End of April
Rant/raves? Baby turned from transverse to one of the vertical positions last week. It felt super weird, and now my bump looks totally different (to me at least).
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? I bought myself a fancy new photo printer to print out nursery art (cause that is cheaper than buying other people's art... hahahaha)
jenn83, I have been having sciatic nerve pain on and off, last weekend it was so awful I could barely move! I talked to my doc about it and he gave me some stretches to do several times a day. Lean forward to stretch your hamstrings, put one ankle on top of your opposite knee, do some back stretches too. It seems to have helped me, I have a desk job and stay frighteningly sedentary some days so the reminder to keep my body stretching is helpful.

Thanks! I will definitely be bringing it up at the next OB appt as well. It just seems to be extra irritated after I did some squats this last week.

How far along? Holy shit 26 weeks, 2 days!
Symptoms? Sleeping more like 1 tri. Getting exhausted by doing simple things.
Next appt? Friday is my glucose test and I'm pretty nervous!
Rant/raves?
Dh got a kick ass job. It's a contract job for 6-9 months with a possible extension, but the salary is enough where I can take the full 4 weeks maternity leave before my due date so I'm stoked!
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? I bought my make up at sephora.com and got myself a much needed haircut.
Symptoms? Feeling tired all the time, probably due to waking up constantly to either pee or switch sides because my hips are sore. Back muscles kill me if I'm on my feet for too long (too long being 10 minutes). Having to take Tums more frequently.
Next appt? End of April for my glucose check and final monthly checkup! So insane.
Rant/raves? Sat. night H and I went on a walk to a donut/ice cream shop to get some ice cream, and decided to get donuts too for Sunday. We picked out two each and got our favorite kinds, and were so excited to eat them the next morning (yes, food is exciting in our house haha). Well I wake up and go downstairs to get them and H's absolute favorite is GONE. My mom's BF ate it, even though my mom is constantly saying that they don't eat junk like that So I had to run out to get another one for H because I felt so bad, and then an hour or so later I walked into the kitchen and one of my donuts had been half eaten! I love food (especially my sweet treats) so I was ready to cut someone when I realized that they got into our donuts twice without even asking. YOU DON'T MESS WITH A PREGNANT WOMAN'S FOOD.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? Food was Taco Bell because Sam is part taco, non-food item is a really soft wonderful chemise/sleep nightie I got from Kohl's over the weekend to wear at the hospital and breastfeed in, and then wear around the house.
mcktymck, I would have killed someone. There have been multiple times where I have broke down in tears over food/drink this pregnancy and being in the same house of the culprit would have most likely triggered epic meltdown mode.

On a side note - now I want a donut.
Yeah I was definitely seeing red afterwards! I ranted about it to H all day up until the time we got into bed at midnight when H was all "it's okay, they're just donuts" and I responded quickly with "IT'S THE PRINCIPLE."
Also, you should go get yourself one, everyone deserves a donut! haha

Me too. I don't think I can actually get through 3 hr. My dr does 12 hr fast even before the 3hr test begins. I would be so sick

How far along? 24+2
Symptoms? Just feeling kicks
Next appt? I have a follow up ultrasound tomorrow at the hospital to check on the placental abruption. Then I have my regular OB appt on Wednesday.
Rant/raves? I am hoping that I get a more definite time frame for my bed rest tomorrow. I had to file for short term disability today and I just put a week for now.
Gtky: what's the last thing you bought for yourself? This is a hard question... Probably Starbucks

Ray I feel you. I'm hoping they put me on restraints at work. I can't waddle my ass on pill call anymore. It hurts to walk. jenn83 the babies are right on my sciatic nerve to the point where my legs go numb sometimes. mcktymck I would kill someone. I'm ready for your mom to leave and I'm not even the one there!
AFM I am 27+5. 9 weeks from Wednesday I'll have these girls in my arms! How did single digits get here so fast?
Having lots of pain, lightening crotch, ribs, back, stomach. Half tempted to beg to be done with work tomorrow at my appointment.
Shower was yesterday and was able to order the last few things last night with gift cards that we have to have for the nursery. H and I are organizing tonight.
GTKY: I bought myself a maternity top for my shower.
Symptom check? Do you notice that on certain days baby isn't as active, or that their kicks aren't as strong as the day before? Yesterday Sam seemed to be pretty lazy and I didn't feel too much movement, and when I did it was more flutters than the strong jabs I've been feeling. Today has been a little better, but still not as active as "usual". Anyone else notice this? I know they say any movement big or small is good, it just makes me feel better when he's really going to town!
