31 weeks

30 weeks

31 weeks 

So Callahan definitely had a growth spur his week. I can tell just from my bump pictures. 

Stats:

I’m measuring at 32 weeks now. Gained about 27lb. Baby’s heartrate was good at 138 and my bp is holding steady at 145/75.

Not much to report from this appt. we talked a lot about what induction would look like and how we can push it closer to 38 weeks if my body is holding up ok. 

I have an ultrasound in 2 weeks and have my first meeting with my doula around then as well as another OB appt so there will be more to report then. 

Symptoms: hungry, tired, pregnant lol. Sleep is ok. Not great but not terrible. Last week I felt great and got in 4 workouts. This week not so much and that’s ok. Though I did take a walk today that was good. Hormones are crazy this week too like I can’t control my emotions when I get set off. My brain try’s to reason but my emotions don’t listen. Lol 

Movement: he moves a lot! And it starting to hurt sometimes now. He woke me up at 5am this morning with all his crazy. It’s good though makes me not have to worry about “kick counts” 

Cravings: still fresh fruit and oranges. I really want chantilly cake too when I found out whole goods makes a gf one so I can’t want to try that. 

Labor signs: none yet. Just lots of Braxton Hicks. 

29 weeks

Well I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks since I posted last. Not a lot has happened till recently so there wasn’t much to say. We also went through the holidays which was busy but good. Thankfully I feel recovered from covid and was able to enjoy the holidays. So on to pregnancy updates.

I passed my glucose test yay! I was worried I would fail the 1 hr and have to do the 3hr which made me so sick with Kyle. They were nice with Eli and didnt make me do one because I passed the 3hr. But since it’s been 10 years and I’m old I had to do the 1hr which was fine I didn’t get sick or anything I’m just happy I passed and it’s behind me. 

Had an OB appt yesterday and my BP is holding steady at 144/75. Though it’s never that high when I take it at home. But I had protein in my urine 8 weeks ago when I last was in the office for an appt (my appt last month was over the phone because of Covid). So I did the 24 hr test and my protein was slightly higher than before. So I got a pre-eclampsia diagnosis and she wants to induce me at 37 weeks. We will monitor my labs every 2 weeks and my BP I have to take everyday. If it goes up to 160/110 then I get induced at 34 weeks. But praying that doesn’t happen. I asked if I need to change anything and she said no just eat healthy and stay active and live my life. So that’s what I’ll do. Nothing I can do to change this. There was always a chance things we’re gonna go this way. I feel peace about it and know God’s in control whatever happens. Now we have an appt every two weeks!

Symptoms: I’m slowing down more and more and that is hard to adjust to because I like being able to exercise regularly. My low back hurts a lot and at night my hips hurt so bad I have to switch sides often. I’ve tried everything and the only thing that makes a difference is when baby isn’t resting so low in my pelvis which I have no control over so... I just deal. I am thankful for my chiro appts and regular massage. It helps. 

Sleep is pretty good. A few nights this week I woke up between 3-5am but eventually went back to sleep. 

Cravings: well anything chocolate but I still can’t really taste the flavor or chocolate it just tastes sweet. But I still eat it. Still fresh fruit, Oranges, orange juice.

Labor signs: just Braxton Hicks everyday 

Measurements: belly measured on track and I stopped looking at my weight... lol 

Baby heart rate 132. Got my rhogam shot at my appt yesterday.
