bgkc4 oh that does not look comfortable bighair12 congrats! Glad it all worked out well for you. soultrane I hope you can relax this weekend! nymama917 I hope your babymoon is fabulous! Enjoy the time with your husband.
I had a paid day off today and didn't take advantage of it at all. I went shopping this morning, did laundry and pulled weeds. I went by target and picked up my registry bag. Wow so much swag. I wish I would've scheduled a massage. I could really use one these days. I have a brutal cough which is keeping me up, hurting my back and making me pee my pants almost hourly. I too feel very pregnant all of a sudden. I hate feeling like I have limitations. I have so much spring cleaning inside and outside to do and I get exhausted so quickly. Dh gets home early (5:30) on Fridays so we're heading to get ice cream tonight
So I had an OB appointment this morning and we ended up scheduling another US for the 9th to check on her growth. I gained no weight since my last appointment and apparently I'm only measuring 31 weeks even though I'll be 34 on Sunday. Is anyone else measuring "small?"
I had something similar happen with my son, they did and ultrasound and he checked out great.. came out on his due date at 8lbs 3oz.. so definitely not a small baby! Those measurements can be off for a variety of reasons (baby dropped, changed position, whoever measured didn't start at the same place, etc).
This makes so much sense! I'm pretty certain (as sure as a FTM can be, I guess) that she has flipped head down since my last appointment. I meant to ask about it anyway but then got thrown off by measuring small news. Thank you!
bgkc4, oh man, that looks so uncomfortable. I love the polish color though! Have you found anything to help the swelling?
Ladies, I made it through the day and want to thank you for letting me vent!! Thankfully, we have NO plans this weekend so I can relax and regroup a little!

bighair12 I've seen some carters preemie outfits at target. Glad your doctors could work with your schedule and you got the date you wanted.
carolinaheart I measured small my whole pregnancy with DS and had many extra ultrasounds, he ended up being 8 pounds. Try not to stress, the measurements are their best estimation.
bgkc4 sorry about the swelling in your feet, that looks terribly painful.
Ok ladies. We have a date!!!! May 24. So, I got my dream day. I will take my boards on the 23 and then will have surgery the next morning. I will be 34w5d. So, maybe not a very long NICU stay. I have lots of high hopes here!!
This blows my mind because this is exactly what I am today......and I'm not ready.
I hope knowing helps you prepare! And I'm glad it works with your boards

I think it does help knowing! Knowing that I won't have to suffer through a board exam in a newborn fog makes me happy. But right now I am trying to stay as positive as I can about the upcoming c hyst and other issues!
bgkc4 we are nail polish twins! I'm sorry about the swelling! Does keeping your feet elevated help any?
bighair12, glad that the date was worked out! Do you have a BuyBuyBaby close by? I saw some really cute preemie stuff last week!
carolinaheart, I measured a week behind this week and I have not gained much weight this past month. I'm pretty sure he shifted positions so the doctor is not worried. I'm going in for monthly growth scans because of my BP issues. Hope you just get another peek at your little and there is nothing to worry about!

bighair12 congrats on getting your date! This whole thing must be so tough for you. I am so thankful for modern medicine diagnosing it so that you and baby will be safe and well taken care of, and I hope that you and baby have the smoothest, least stressful path possible together.
Andrea and soultrane I've tried everything for the swelling compression socks, elevation, soaking them. The doctor's office gave me a full Doppler scan of both legs two weeks ago to make sure there wasn't something wrong causing the swelling, but the scans came back normal. Im usually not successful at getting them to go down, but once or twice a week I reduce the swelling slightly only for it to go right back up again when I start walking around. I even have a small chair under my desk at work that I rest them on when I'm at my desk (courtesy of a coworker who took pity on me and brought it in). I've accepted that my feet will be like this for the duration. They do hurt, but not overwhelmingly so.
