Hello third trimester!!
We reached our first mini "goal"!!! 🎉🎉🎉 This is really exciting. We're almost there! There's nothing really too much to report. I passed my 1 hour glucose test, my cervix held the same (I have one more check in two weeks), and baby looks good and is estimated at 2.5 lbs. This coming week, I start weekly NSTs at my Obgyn. We really need to start looking into birthing classes. Well, kinda. I'm really on the fence about taking any. The only two things that I really need info on are: infant and toddler CPR (I'm only certified for adults), and breastfeeding/pumping. I really don't need anyone to tell me how to breathe, and I feel like all that shit will go out the window once you're actually in labor. PLUS, in reality, I don't want to get attached to a "birth plan" because, I really am leaving it up to the doctors. Anything can happen at any given time, and I don't want to be an idiot about it. If the baby is displaying signs of distress, I want them to intervene to help her. At the end of the day, I don't care about me. Ideally, I would love to go natural and vaginal, but if I need a cesarean, then I'll take the spinal block so I can see baby when she's born. Aside from that, I'm really really really open. I guess that's really all. My symptoms have pretty much stayed steady, add in horrible back pain, that I'm starting to think is sciatica. 4 weeks until goal of 32 weeks 6 weeks until goal of 34 weeks 8 weeks until 36 weeks (nurse told me baby will be fine at this gestational age, but 37 is better) 9 until 37 weeks 🙏 🤞 🌈
