Starting this week I see my Dr twice a week for the non-stress tests I mentioned before. And I have my last ultrasound on Tuesday. Feels like it's getting so close. 5 weeks till my due date. Eeeek

Sounds like everyone else is feeling the same haha like we all just can't wait to be done! :)
 
Hey
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas :) I have had sickness in 3rd Tri too it's more acid reflux that makes me feel sick then I am sick have tablets for it now though so managing to sleep.. I totally get the tears thing too lol I randomly just cry for nothing, just so grateful to get to this stage and hubby and daughter have been so amazing .. It's just your hormones and probably feeling over whelmed by it all.

Can't believe we are all so close now yey x
 
Silly question but I have read numerous women say that thier breasts grow bigger during pregnancy and that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I think that I lost a little weight and have only gained about 4-5 ponds maybe this entire pregnancy. The dr says that my stomach is measuring on track but I'm worried that I'm not producing
My Drs spot got moved up and I see her tomorrow morning so I'll ask my PAC but I have a feeling she will tell me it's normal.
 
My boobs did not get bigger during pregnancy with either kids. They do get somewhat larger once my milk comes in but nothing drastic like some ladies have. I breastfed my DD until she was a year old. Don't worry if they haven't gotten any bigger it doesn't mean you will have a problem producing milk. Just like bigger breasts don't mean you produce more than someone with smaller breasts. :)
 
When pregnant with my daughter my boobs just grew and grew and grew... was very annoying and they never shrunk back either so I've been stuck with them ever since :haha: I didn't BF her at all but it still took well over a month for my milk to dry up so doubt supply would have been an issue. This time round my boobs haven't grown at all (thank God, I couldn't have coped with anything bigger!!) but I have had some little bits of colostrum leakage and tingling sensations that people say sound similar to letdown. I hope to BF this time, fingers crossed I can get it established without giving up. I've heard the first couple of weeks can be tough? :shrug:
 
I think since I haven't really gained anything that I might have actually lost a bit of weight (I'm up only about 3-5 pounds) and usually I lose in my boobs first so I'm thinking maybe that's what it? I sure hope that I have enough milk for my little guy!
 
The first week or two can be tough because it can be pretty painful. It's like chapped nipples, lanolin will be your best friend until they toughen up a big. Don't be afraid to put it on a lot. And baby can nurse with lanolin on too. Also baby will cluster feed so some days will feel like all you are doing is breastfeeding non stop. It's such an awesome experience and I'm excited to be able to breastfeed again :)

Ugh, I slipped and fell on the ice today. Not too hard but I think I pulled a muscle in my groin. Luckily I didn't fall on my bump and Ive had no bleeding or pains other than being kinda sore on my pubic bone. We are in the middle of a blizzard right now 😑
 
With my DD my boobs didn't grow at all. I was practically in padded bras until delivery day :haha: And never produced any colostrum. So I was also worried I won't have any milk.
I ended up bf'ing her until her 1st birthday! The first 3 weeks were from hell. It was so bad I would have preferred to go through labour once more than experience the bf pain (19 hour back to back labour with epidural not working, vontouse and forceps!!). So it was bad... But I'm so glad I persevered. Be aside once the cracked nipples healed it was a breathe!

This time my boobs grew a size already but I generally gained more weight than wth DD. So I think it's just the extra fat than actual boob growth. I leek tiny bits of colostrum but not every day.
 
Sounds like Im not the only one that has experienced this which makes me feel loads better! I have a dr's appt tomorrow so Ill mention something to her as well just incase but Im sure she will echo what you all have said.

Jax, I hope you are ok! This is a scary time of year with snow and ice. Were you out in public? My dr gave me paperwork to get a temp handicap plate for this reason (I tend to fall a lot as well) so I use it on icy days at work.
 
I was in my driveway of going to getting DD out of the car. I was glad no one was around lol they probably would've freaked out watching a heavily pregnant lady fall. I'm really sore near my pubic bone but I think i just pulled something. Hopefully it goes away soon. Baby has been moving around a lot and no contractions so I think I'm good in that department.
 
When is your next appt Jax? Maybe just have the dr double check things. I hope that you feel better!
 
My boobs have grown a little but I know they'll get huge with breastfeeding. Relatively speaking, of course. I am so looking forward to breastfeeding again!
I agree, the first three weeks are rough and then it's smooth sailing and SO easy! I haven't leaked at all but I seem to always have a little bit of dried milk on my nipples since I weaned my daughter in October.
I'm getting so anxious to meet my little one!
 
Had an appointment today and I'm measuring ahead a few weeks so they want to do an ultrasound at my next appointment when I will be 35 weeks. I'm excited because we get another ultrasound, but nervous that the baby will be measuring too big.
 
With my first girl, my boobs went up one size.. From B to C after my milk came in. So far, there has been no boob growth this time around.

I also had a growth scan at 32 weeks and baby has finally had a growth spurt and graduated from the 16th percentile to the 30th. She was approx. 4 lbs!
 
Im so jealous of those of you that know how big your baby is! My office wont do a scan at this point unless needed. They just measure my stomach and tell me if I am within normal range. :(
 
My next drs appt is on the 5th, I'll definitely bring up my fall then.

The past 2 days I've all of a sudden had crazy bad heartburn and nausea. It sucks so bad!!
 
Random post, but in a few hours we will be able to say we are having our babies next month . Happy New year ladies
