How far along? 30 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain: About 10 lbs now. Scarlett has been on the smaller side so I've been ordered to "beef her up" which in turn has put weight on me. I am seeing numbers on the scale I have NEVER seen in my life.
Maternity clothes? absolutely :)
Medicine that I'm on? I take the Progesterone in Oil P17 injection once a week to relax my uterus. Oral prometrium (progesterone) at bedtime. I'm on 10 mg procardia every 4-6 hours around the clock which calms the contractions.
Stretch marks? Sadly yes...my old stretch marks are getting pink/red "tips" on them extending toward my middle abdomen. I imagine by the end of the pregnancy they will be a couple inches longer then they were with Jack's pregnancy. Oh well, not the end of the world.
Sleep: haha! Ummm, no. Hardly. Between the cramping, the cervix pain and the run of the mill pregnancy induced insomnia I don't sleep.
Best moment this week: Jack and I have been hanging out together as our time comes closer to ending as just momma and "baby". I am trying to soak up as much of him as my only child as I can before baby arrives.
Miss Anything? sleep and being relatively pain free....my body doesn't do pregnancy well.
Movement: All the time...she is a maniac in there.
Food cravings: Sweet stuff and fruit...thank goodness I passed my 3 hour glucose test.
Labor Signs: My cervix is holding strong still...36 mm today at my ultrasound and last week it was 40 mm but with a funnel. My doctor isn't too concerned about the funnel because the cerclage *should* hold it together. Lots of cramping though but evidently it is not changing my cervix.
Symptoms: insomnia, fatigue, nausea STILL, headaches. Pubic synthesis dysfunction pain has stabilized thank goodness...pain yes, but not getting worse. I have the linea nigra line started and the "mask of pregnancy" too. My skin has darkened in a few odd places too.
Belly Button in or out? Flatter but not out.
Looking forward to: My cerclage removal in July...seriously. I know it's still weeks away but I'm still excited about it.
