I've got to remember to start coming here more!
I'm at 28wks, up 11.5# total, so I'm feeling pretty snazzy about that. Except for the fact that the third trimester is usually half a pound to a pound a week, for normal weight person, to put on. So, here's hoping!0 -
28w 2d and feeling HUGE! It's hard to believe we still have 12ish weeks to go!
How is everyone feeling?0 -
28 weeks 5 days and also feeling huge! My back and belly are starting to get sore. It is hard to stand or sit for any real length of time. I imagine it only gets worse! I teach orchestra, so am on my feet most of the day playing/conducting, and trying to find stools to sit on to make things more comfortable. Nothing is really working wonders though
Suddenly needing much more sleep again. 9pm is really my ideal bedtime, even though it is almost impossible with how many after school obligations I have through May. I will make it! Going to have to kick the cats out of the bedroom, since all of their walking about constantly wakes me up.
Otherwise enjoying all of the constant squirming in my belly. Things definitely are starting to feel more real 0 -
29 weeks 5 days and counting!
I have cankles and back pain and feel huge and miserable lol. Cant wait till this is over. going to OB every 2 weeks now! yay!0 -
I'm 30 weeks 1 day. Not sure how much I've gained. I try not to stress too much about it. I gain tons of water weight when pregnant. Last time I probably peed out 15 pounds after my son was born. Haha. But I'm starting to watch my calories a bit and stay active so I don't gain much more. This pregnancy has gone by so fast, I can't believe there's only 10ish weeks left.0

Cool, I have a midwife too! I don't have an appointment until May 22nd though so hopefully my baby is turning down too Almost 30 weeks, time flies! 0 -
28 weeks yesterday, and my scale broke last week. I keep forgetting to replace it whenever I'm out! Probably because I'm afraid of what it will say!0

I'm also a teacher, though I now teach online, so I mostly work from my "office," otherwise known as "my bed." 0

I know what you mean! I feel like there is NO more room in my belly!! I'm getting so excited! 33 more days for me!0 -
Hi! I'm due 7/12. Just saw this group now. I do most of mfp on my phone. Please add me if you havent already! 6wk from now I'm going to need some inspiration from other mommies in the same boat as me!
Thanks!!!0 -
5 weeks to go for me!!!!
Counting down the days. The baby still has yet to get into position, but I am doing everything I can to help turn him.
Cant even remember what its like to sleep more than 2 hours at a pop. I get up at least 4-5 times in an 8 hr period to go to the bathroom at night!
How is everyone else doing?? I have the babies room pretty well set, but still have to put the carseat in, and that type of thing. I go back to the Dr at 36 weeks and have another US to see if the little bugger has moved. Then I start going weekly. I will also get exam with GBS test as well.
Hope everyone is doing well!0 -
I am with you with the whole going to the bathroom 4-5 times a night. I also get woken up by her kicking and think it is a cat walking on me, only there is no cat in sight to blame. I am also having my GBS screening this week. Struggling to exercise more than a couple times a week!
I have been enjoying my sewing machine, and have been making cloth diapers. I made a Mei Tai baby carrier yesterday and I am quite proud of myself!
Also started organizing drawers... I don't know how we have accumulated so much crap after only living in this house for a year and 8 months.0 -
I've got 3 weeks till D-day and I'm starting to get a little anxious! I had my shower on the weekend which was super fun and nice so now I can focus on getting the rest of things I need and start organizing.
I too get up every 2 hours or so and then most nights I am plagued with insomnia after getting up one of those times. So over that!
Started washing my prefold diapers and getting all other clothes washed and will start making some cloth wipes this week. I have to get the car seat installed too!
I also made a ton of freezer meals this week so I'm set for food at least when the baby comes!0 -

That is so cool that you made the baby carrier! Did you find a pattern for it online? How did it turn out? I'd love to see a picture 0 -

35 weeks, up 11 pounds. Took measurements at the gym last night, and even more impressive are that my butt and thigh are each down 2 cms. The only part getting bigger is my ever expanding mid-section.0

You are doing amazing! You're so close to the end too! 0 -
Hey ladies, congrats to all you expectant mommies! I'm due July 10th and always looking for more friends, so feel free to add me if you like
I'm 36 weeks and up 28 lbs total, and MFP has been a lifesaver this time (this is my second pregnancy). Along with the support I get from the other women, tracking my food and exercise has made me feel so much more in control! 0 -

Yay, I'm so happy for you! I think my baby is still not right yet unfortunately. Did you do any exercises or something to try to help your baby turn?
I'm getting an ultrasound next week to see if the baby is turned on its own, and if not they will try some external maneuver to turn it. I will be 35 weeks for the ultrasound.0 -

Yes! I started going to a chiropractor who did the "Webster technique" which helps open the pelvis and make more room for the baby down low. The night after the first adjustment I was woken up at 3am feeling nauseous and tons of movement (which is exactly what she told me to expect) and I am certain that is when the baby turned. Prior to that I did try some movements recommended on the spinningbabies.com website, like doing handstands in pool and literally hanging off couch with my butt in the air, but I found these to be really uncomfortable to breath since the weight of my belly was pushing into my lungs....
I highly recommend chiropractor, especially if you can find one certified in the Webster Technique!! Good luck!!0
