TTC - Good to hear everything's fine. I've noticed my uterus starting to get higher than my bellybutton too.

I have my next OB appointment tomorrow and will find out if I passed the 1hr glucose test, also hopefully to double check the sex to make sure baby is still a girl. Seeing how they didn't give me a definitive answer last time cause baby was a bit shy...

I had my 20w scan today. She got most of the images she needed but she couldn't get a good picture of his spine and all of his heart so I go back in 4 weeks. We got a quick 3D scan of him.

 

[Maries_s]

I had my OB/GYN appointment today. He said that pelviectasis is nothing that I have to be worrie about that he see 1 case of this a week. However I'm going to have an ultrasound in 4 weeks and maybe a another if nothing has changed. I'm also going to have the glucose test the same day. I'm been getting dizzy every time I eat something sweet so let's see how it goes. Ah I'm been having headache after the 17p shot and he said if the symptoms persist he is going to end the shots but he hope that I can last at least until 30w.

Are pregnant women allowed to wear shapewear, like Spanx? I feel like the outfit I wanna wear to ComiCon this weekend would look a lot nicer if I could smooth out some of my belly rolls.

 

[DobbyForever]

Google says it is safe. Apparently they even have spanx designed specifically for pregnant women. I'd personally forgo it because it just sounds uncomfortable

Cute ultrasound pic, baseball!

Marie, I'm glad your doctor was able to give you some clarity about pelviectasis. It sounds like it's pretty common.

Good luck to those of you with your glucose tests coming up!

Pretty, the BellaBand kind of works like Spanx sometimes ... they even recommend pulling it up over your whole bump for a smoother silhouette. I usually double it over, but I think as long as it would feel comfortable to you and not squeeze too tight, it should be safe to wear something like that.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

I probably won't get an actual pair of Spanx, cuz they're too expensive. I was just thinking of some high-waisted control top underwear from WalMart.

Also, that reminds me, Dobby. I've been wanting to make some pregnancy memes. I call them "2nd Tri Problems"....

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Those are so funny Pretty! There needs to be more of them!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

24 weeks tomorrow - eek! Feels like a great milestone to reach viability day.

Getting big movements now.

Putting in my requests for maternity leave. I'm doing half hours before I go off - finishing at 37 weeks. When's everyone else finishing? X

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Betty - Sorry, for the stupid question. But do you mean half days at work? Did you have to get your doctor to sign-off?

I think I may have to go on disability, my commute is 3 1/2 hours and i am getting these horrible pains from sitting 8+ hours and Don't think I can do it much longer.

Anyone have experience with long commute and desk job, what did you do?

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I'll work right up until I either go into labor or have you schedule a C section... Since I'm not planning on coming back.

 

[Girly922]

Yay for V day Betty!

Here we have to go off from the Sunday before your due date, well my due date is on a Saturday so that means I'll have to stop work at 39 weeks. I'm being pressured to go off before that from my line manager but I've spoken to higher up and they're happy for me to plan to go off at 39wks but if I have any problems leading up to that, I'll be able to shift that forwards or take some annual leave before hand if I need to.
My biggest worry is going off too early. I went at 36wks with DD and she was born at 40+8. I was so bored waiting for her to arrive, I'd rather be at work and have those extra weeks with baby once they're here.

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol pretty love that burrito one that is my life

Betty yay for v-day!! I'm lucky I am a teacher so school ends 6/16 (33 weeks) and doesn't start until the end of August. I will go in for the 1st and 2nd day of school but not going back in f/t until October. Unless I get a c-section then not sure what recovery will be like.

 

[808malia]

Betty- I have already made plans to go out on July 1st at 38weeks, I am going to use my 2 weeks vacation then have my tdi start on my due date July 14th and take off for 6-8 weeks from then... All I have to do is the paperwork once I get a little closer to the date.

Is anyone else thinking about taking a little baby moon? My husband and I are planning on taking a weekend trip to Oahu in April just to get away for a few days to relax before the baby comes.... Also to see his mother who lives there, and is really excited about the baby... She knows how long we have been trying and my husband is her oldest child, so I'm sure she is going to be thrilled to see us!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Thanks ladies!

TTC - I work shifts at a care home. Only work 25hrs a week but will cut it down to 12 or so hours a week so I'm stressing less and getting more rest time.

But now I've worked out I might just take the whole thing in one go before I finish and muddle through the last two full weeks x

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

808malia - I am talking a BabyMoon. We just got back from Maui in November so we were limited to where we could go due to Zika. So we decided on San Francisco. We are super excited! Going to just walk and eat our way through the city!

Betty - I see, What ever you are comfortable with if you can last the entire time go for it!

 

[DobbyForever]

I was planning to go on an orca weekend at 34 weeks but my gyn doesn't want me on a boat after 30 weeks and SO is so effing overprotective that now he says we can't go r_r. Apparently hotels have babymoon packages these days lol

 

[lesondemavie]

I plan to go out on July 1st as well. I'll be nearly 39 weeks by then. It just seems like a good cut off point for me since we bill our hours with clients monthly. I should be down a client who is moving in May by then, and a few others may be on vacation. Seems like I can take it easy or work from home more those last few weeks in June. Fx this baby doesn't come early!

We were planning a babymoon/anniversary trip in late April, but I still can't really enjoy food and my back is hurting me so bad that I'm in tears every day...so not really sure I'll enjoy it. Thinking we'll get a dining room table instead

 

[Maries_s]

Last time my BabyMoon turn out to be delivery day. even when I was on bed rest so this time I think I'm just going to relax at home. DH want to take my pregnancy pictures this weekend even when I think is to early. However, last time we didn't have the chance since DD decided to come early.

Today's my V day! I'm so happy to be here, this pregnancy has been nerve wrecking for me and I'm very afraid of having another premmie baby.
