Another Week! January 20th-Weekly Check-In
Another week has gone by ladies!! How is everyone feeling? Getting anxious? Any new Symptoms? Tell me your thoughts and feelings this week!
Nothing really new to report on my end. I thought for SURE that I would have had my little boy by now but I guess he's going to come when he's good and ready. I feel great though, so I can't complain. I get a little uncomfortable at night when I sit too long and I've been getting more BH contractions..stronger ones too. So I know its my body just prepping itself. So I'm just as anxious as ever! I'm sleeping fantastic, passing right out, peeing every couple hours but still sleeping awesome. My appetite has increased these last couple weeks but I've also been getting really BAD acid reflux...it burns and makes me want to yack! So on one hand I'll be hungry, on the other I won't want to eat because of the aftermath. I've had my days too where I am just completely exhausted but for the most part I am bouncing around getting the house ready for Caidens arrival.
Oh yea and Caiden is still soo very active! I don't know if he still has room in there or what but he is always moving around..or punching and kicking!
So just waiting and waiting!
Were in the process of interviewing Pediatricians right now and we haven't found one we like. I think I'm being too picky..its such a tough and important decision! Other than that, just looking forward to my Ultrasound on Friday, finding out his weight, position and hopefully a lot more information! I just can't believe I'll be 39 weeks in 3 days!! The end is near!!
Hang in there girls! Let me hear your updates :)

Me....same ole same ole......playing the games of pregnancy at this point. Is she coming....is she not?? I have 3 appts on Thursday to hopefully give me some answers and find out where I am . They think I am retaining water and showing signs of preeclampsia and things of that nature..and they did mention induction in the office yesterday....but we will see. Only time will tell. I am very uncomfortable....and at this point..i just want her to come into our lives....
Hopefully I will know more on Thursday.
I did get my Group B results and they came back negative...which is good!
Hope everyone is doing well!

wow all you ladies are moving right along.
i am 35 weeks and barely anything. I am not even sure if i had had one braxton hicks yet. I have been having awful acid reflux every night to the point where i am vomitting profusely. i also ended up with the pregnancy carpel tunnel which is very very painful and prohibits most of my hand movements. But other than that i am good, not many pains besides the normal aches and pains when i over do things and being more tired. Oh Jaedyn also is very active. he kicked me a couple of times today so hard i nearly doubled over.
i get my group b strep test next week.

I haven't had any RLS this pregnancy but I do know a lot of women who experienced it during their pregnancy. I've just heard the worst thing to do is lay down and go to sleep...you should get up and walk around and try to tire your legs out. Or try massaging them or take a nice warm bath to relax them.
Sounds like were all doing some kind of progressing!

well hey all not much has changed same old same old i have been out of work for a week and i dont think i am going back to work unitl after she is born i can barely walk around to get my other kids what they needed never mind run a lab on my feet all night long.

Went to the dr today and was told that I am only dilated the width of a fingertip. She said that I'm starting to "soften", too. I was SO hoping for better news!
She also told me that the baby would more than likely be around 8 pounds give or take. I hope she's not too big by the time I give birth. If my epidural wears off like last time (or I don't have time to get one) I don't know how I'll get through the pain!
BH have been pretty regular and moderately strong. Most of the time it is enough to make me have to stop in my tracks. Hopefully, this is a sign that the end is growing near. I'm so miserable, and I really can't wait to start the next phase...getting used to a new baby AND taking care of my toddler! Not to mention, the sooner I have Claire, the sooner my body can heal.

Hi,
37 3/4 weeks and baby is still staying put after all the fuss of the last 2 weeks.
Walking is very painful. Waddle is a graceful way of describing my walk! Pubic pain is excrutiating and moving in bed interesting in a painful way.... Feel like I am walking with a melon in my vagina.... am peeing frequently but it's always only a dribble. Reckon baby's head is pressing on things...
Baby dropped about 4 weeks ago and I've lost my plug. So reckon it shouldn't be long... but they stopped the contractions well and good. Hardly even having braxton hicks at the moments. But feeling lots of pressure down there and shooting pains in my lower pelvis. But nothing like the contractions that they stopped before...
Have lost weight (about 3-5 lbs), and the swelling is back and increasing (after reducing when on complete bed rest). That means I have gained no weight this 3rd trimester. But am monitoring BP and it's still normal so I'm not too worried. No appetite. Having trouble controlling blood sugar too (it's going high and low)...
My obe told me she didn't want me to go too much over 38 weeks. That will be this Friday. But I have no appointment with her any more. She just said "see you in the delivery room". I guess I'll have to call her clinic if baby is still in place by Monday.
After being really constipated for the past weeks am finally moving again today. Hope that is a sign that things will happen soon.
And am super tired. Still doing work stuff remotely and trying to pop into the office daily to check what's up and sign things and direct people (office is only 5 minutes from my house). But also catching extra sleep.
Am so looking forward to baby, but it has not been an easy pregnancy and I am so looking forward to having my body back and returning to my active lifestyle. My first trimester was major abdominal pain and "morning sickness", which turned out to be appendicitis and amoebiasis. My second trimester was recovering from the appendectomy/laparotomy, and this 3rd trimester hasn't been comfortable and is getting worse.... plus also having problems with what my doc thinks are adhesions from the surgery... with major tummy pain again...
Please baby come soon! I love you so much already, but you've had your time in my belly and it's time to safely be born and join the world and grow into the person you are meant to be.
