At my last appointment, I was measuring 4 weeks ahead (again), so I had another u/s last Monday. Baby was measuring 1 week ahead, but the baby's abdomen was in the 89%, so it was a bit disturbing. The Dr was not too concerned, but I may end up with another u/s to check on baby. I have my glucose test on the 28th and I have a sneaking suspicion I will not pass. We shall see. My fluid levels were high, but still within range.
Other than that I am chugging along. Always tired, but happy to be in the 3rd tri!!!

On another note - has anyone ever had feeling that their pregnancy will end in a still birth. I know how morbid and horrible this sounds. I have had this nagging feeling that something is going to go wrong right in the end. I have never felt like this before. It is really quite upsetting. But even more upsetting is that I have a calm set over me that this will happen, but it will be ok. I may not have described that correctly, but I am disturbed that I feel there is a problem and that I am at peace with it.
Does that make any sense at all? This pregnancy has been really weird for me this time. And I still cannot get anything ready for the baby (no motivation) and no name.

Yes yes yes I fear it like every day. Especially after hearing that the cord is slightly strained.. now I'm like omg what if baby stops moving and I was too late? Or I give birth and baby is still born... makes me sick to think about [emoji17]

On a nice side note- me and hubby took a quick babymoon this week to Florida! I can't afford maternity pics, so I just had my hubby take a couple on my phone cuz it has a nice camera! A little pixely but I'll take more in the morning when we have better light :) this was my best glamorous look [emoji23][emoji23]

I know I don't belong in here, but I couldn't read this without responding to say I have the same fears that something will go wrong, especially towards the end, and I will feel if they'd just have taken baby a bit early it all could've been avoided. And I've also had that wash of calm, like something will happen and I know it and know I can't prevent it. It's strange. It is difficult to be fairly out of control with what is going on inside our bodies. But yet, here we are. Can't do much other than take care of ourselves as best we can, keep up with doctor appointments and pray for the best. It is hard. I just wanted you to know you aren't alone.

Starting two nights ago, Around 4:00am I feel so uncomfortable. I get up to go to the bathroom and drink some water. I feel a sharp, pulling/stretching sensation in my cervix. It reminds me of my contractions during labor leading up to 7cm. I'm wondering if I'm starting to dilate and efface. Ugh. Why at 4:00am?!? I can't help but get a bit excited though! I just want her to stay put until at least 37 weeks!

How is everyone else feeling?

Wow - XX. It is crazy to think that you will be having your little girl so soon!

Nann - praying all is well with your little one ad you get wonderful news Monday!

*TMI Alert*

Ugh. 6 full bowel movements in one day!!! Not loose, thank goodness, but I'm also having Braxton Hicks too! Let me tell ya, going to the loo is no fun while having contractions at the same time!! There is nothing like going to the pharmacy to pick up hemorrhoid ointment in your nightgown because the thought of laying in bed with a broken butt doesn't sound pleasant!

It must be my body getting prepared because I haven't been constipated (I'm regular still), no chance of food borne illness, or illness of any kind. I hope this doesn't last long!!

XX, you are getting close! wow! :D

I'm officially 30 weeks as of yesterday and I cannot believe it lol.

So I waited all this time to tell my mom, I wanted her to be the first to know and we live very far away from each other. I took the kids for a short photo shoot (I'm a photographer) and I made a wonderful announcement just for my mom. I had it printed and shipped and she got it. Of course she was super surprised and kind of mad at me for waiting so long lol, but my surprise was ruined because the company I used cropped off my eldest which is my mom's biological grandchild. I ended up having to send her a digital image via text, which I could have done in the first place, weeks ago (because it took me a whole month to edit one image lol).

I'm so angry :( I will definitely file a complaint and probably have them ship out the complete image, but the initial surprise was ruined. I would have preferred to tell her in person so I went out of my way to make it a bit special for her. She thought she had random photos being shipped to her (she isn't into digital) so I can only imagine her surprised face. I still remember when I told her about DD (DD was her first grandchild and my grandmother's first great grandchild).

I'm her only daughter and even though we are not close at all, she still cherishes my children and pregnancies more ,so, for her it was a big deal.

Just had to vent, I'm very very irritated!

Now I finally get to tell everyone else before the baby is born LOL! I'm getting to a point where its hard to turn in bed, my snoogle has saved my back, but I'm stuck in 1 or 2 positions all night which has hurt my shoulders. I'm afraid I will break my waters like I did with DD while turning in bed!
