GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)?
Re: Friday ticker change 9/18
Symptoms: more nausea this week, although it's been better the last 2-3 days thank god. I lost 3 lbs this last week from nausea & barfing. Tired but not sleeping super well. Major boob growing pains still (stop it! there's no more room!).
Rants/Raves: rant: boobs. seriously. STOP GROWING. raves: told our families and DH's boys this last week, which was fun and went well. I was very glad to not have to hide it at home anymore!
Next appointment: October 8, so far away! I'll have blood drawn for the panorama test before then, but probably won't have the results back until after.
Questions for the group: Does anyone else's stomach hurt at night? It's not nausea, and I'm still hungry, but it almost feels like a crap ton of gas builds up and just sits there in the evenings. I feel better if I burp, but that doesn't always happen.
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? Anything vodka. Or moonshine. Or craft beer. Weirdly, I expected to miss alcohol a lot more than I actually do, so far.
Symptoms: Fat. Tired. Moody.
Rants/Raves: My BF is kicking ass at being supportive. I came home a few days ago and he was steam cleaning the carpets! Rants: Can't get the spotting under control. Dr. Says baby is good, blood is not coming from Cervix but they still don't know so no nookie for a while.
Next appointment: Appt with the Perinatal specialist on 9/28 for another ultrasound. Regularly scheduled OB appt 10/22.
Questions for the group: None atm
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? Jager Bombs. mmm..
Symptoms- well I thought the MS was hittin' the road but it came back with full force yesterday. Today is better than yesterday, but I still feel crummy!! Also- my gums are bleeding an awful lot- was told that was normal. Aannd per usual the boobs. Always the boobs. They're sore. They're itchy. They're giant.
Rants/Raves- I just want to feel better.
Next appointment- NT scan next Friday.
Questions for the group- Yes! I'm worried about my nutrition. I am not digging vegetables at all right now. Fruit is okay- but I am really going for the greasy carbs! There are some days I can't even think about a vegetable without throwing up. Does anyone else worry about baby if you're not eating as good as you should be?
GTKY- vodka/cranberry with a splash of sprite. Yumm!
Symptoms: nasuea but it has gotten a little better, slight cramping every once in awhile, and I'm so so tired. More so now than I have before.
Rants/Raves: I'm kind of irritated my husband has to work tomorrow and in like a week and a half he'll be gone for a few days so we can't take our pregnancy announcement pictures lol
On the upside my husband has said I've actually been nicer since I've gotten pregnant lol
Next appointment: Monday 9/21
Questions for the group: none
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? If we're talking alcohol sour melon balls or mikes hard mango lol generally I don't drink but the thing I'm really missing are my cappuccinos and sweet tea lol
Symptoms- so much burping! It's embarrassing! Ms hasn't let up at all. And I'm craving milk!
Rants/Raves- My father and In-laws won't stop asking when we are going to announce, it's getting annoying. Plus I've defiantely got a bump going on and we are waiting 3more weeks to tell, and it's getting harder to hide!
Next appointment- 3weeks, Oct 5th
Questions-none
GTKY- not much of a drinker, but love me a good glass of sweet red wine! None alcoholic- coffee, I miss coffee, I just can't stomach it these days!
Baby #4 Due November 2017!
In all seriousness, while I'm trying to eat some sort of fruit or vegetable each day, I'm not worrying about it at this point. From what I have read, the baby is going to take what it needs out of your stores this early on. Hopefully by the time it needs actual nutrition, the nausea will have passed and I'll be able to eat more than the 3 or 4 things I can stomach right now.

Symptoms: acne, sore breasts, tired
Rants/Raves: None so far this week
Next appointment: 9/29
Questions for the group: Nothing today
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)?: Red wine hands down. We did go to WI last weekend and I was a little sad to miss out on the traditional Bloody Mary day.
Symptoms: I feel decent today for the first time in weeks. I have a lot of lower back pain and (uncomfortably) also down my left thigh, but at least I'm not vomiting
Rants/Raves: None of my clothes fit, I feel gross and fat all the time. BUT- my rave is I am in Florida visiting my sister and her family. She has 2 little girls- one will be 2 on Sunday and the other is only a week old. Loving playing with the older one and snuggling with the new one!
Next appointment: Monday! I am going for the 12 week appt and the NT scan. I went at 7 weeks, so it has been awhile and I am anxious to hear that things are still on track.
Questions for the group: none
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)?: Honestly, I don't really drink. So, sangria?
Symptoms: Seasick for five weeks, only puked twice; bloating; hot flashes; acne; extreme fatigue; occasional nipple pain; tailbone pain; shortness of breath/lightheaded feeling around conception.
Raves: my boyfriend taking care of most of the chores
Rants: not being able to drink beer
Next Appt: Monday
Favorite Drink prepregnancy: Karbach Hopadillo (beer); coffee... Which grosses me out right now :-(
Symptoms: Cold, I am going to call it a symptom because normally I rarely get sick, so to get the first one going around this season has to be due to my weakened immune system.
Rants/Raves: I have been craving chili, so I started the crockpot this morning and made some delicious veggie chili. I will be eating it all weekend! Yum!
Next appointment: Oct 2nd
Questions for the group: Not at this moment.
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? Dark beers.
Week/size: !!12!! Plum
Symptoms: boobs! Things are starting to calm down, but when I get hungry I start to feel sick and my stomach hurts (which makes me not want to eat). My back and hips are starting to ache.
Rants/Raves: trying to convince the hubby to buy a new bed! We have tickets to a beer fest with friends this weekend, I am the official DD. I know I will have fun bc there is still good music and food trucks, but still kindof makes me sad. My clothes officially don't fit, but I don't look pregnant just fat !ugh!
Next appointment: tuesday 22nd. Going for my first trimester scan and a consult with MFM high risk for my epilepsy.
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)
I really like drinking lol. Miss it! Craft beers, good wine, and sweet cocktails.
Symptoms: Sciatica nerve pain is acting up more and more. Which seriously sucks! Nausea is letting up and I'm actually able to eat more now!! Yay!!
Raves/Rants: had first appt on wednesday and got an ultrasound done. It was wonderful and i can't stop picturing our little one moving around! Also got the call back today for my gestational diabetes and it was normal!!! Rants-we are moving and had to paint DD's bedroom a neutral color. It was actually really heartbreaking for me because we had painted it all purple and did a butterfly and flower mural, by hand, on one wall. I loved it so much and now its gone
Next Apptointment: October 15th
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What's your favorite drink prebaby? Alcoholic drink would be amaretto sour. Though i only drink like once or twice a year. Nonalcoholic drink would be my herbal teas and pepsi. The teas i can't have and the pepsi makes me sick.
In all seriousness, while I'm trying to eat some sort of fruit or vegetable each day, I'm not worrying about it at this point. From what I have read, the baby is going to take what it needs out of your stores this early on. Hopefully by the time it needs actual nutrition, the nausea will have passed and I'll be able to eat more than the 3 or 4 things I can stomach right now.
I'm glad I'm not the only one not getting all my fruits/veggies in each day. And I think I read the same thing... The baby will take what it needs from me. Hopefully we'll be feeling better sooner rather than later!
Symptoms: bloating, fatigue, a need for more fiber
Rants/Raves: My husband is amazing - bringing me water, making dinner, being patient
Next appointment: my first u/s was today! next appointment 10/9
Questions for the group: not right now
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)?
Left Hand Milk Stout, Rieslings
Symptoms: Nausea that's mooostly controlled by Unisom and eating greasy carbs. Feeling fat. Sore boobs. Fatigue.
Rants/Raves: I caught a cold and it sucks. I was just keeping my head above water dealing with the fatigue and nausea, and then I get sick. Womp womp.
Next appointment: NT ultrasound on 9/30, then we're going to tell people! Can't wait!
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? Coffee! Sadly baby hates coffee, it smells like poison to me now. Hoping my aversion passes in the second tri so I can go back to my daily deliciousness.
Week/size: Week 8/Raspberry. Today is Saturday... on Monday I will become 9 weeks (I don't know what fruit size that is yet).
Symptoms: I only get uber nauseous if I'm really hungry and need to eat; otherwise, I have it pretty good so far.
Rants/Raves: I'm only eight weeks along and feel huge. I don't think I look very pregnant, I think I just look chunky. I'm looking forward to being distinctly pregnant rather than chunky.
Next appointment: My first appointment is Monday...I'm hoping the initial ultrasound they do that morning is all good (I believe they only look for a strong heartbeat at this ultrasound).
Questions for the group: None at this time.
GTKY: What's your favorite drink (pre baby)? I'm not much of an alcohol drinker. I love my lattes, teas, and Dr. Pepper.
