Re: PgAL Check In
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My first cervical measurement is on the 10th.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I'm still a little crampy from time to time, my gums hurt, my boobs hurt, I wake up at least once or twice to pee, and very bad RLP.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something? We have an easy time agreeing on names, we have a boy name and a girl name picked out, and I even came up with a back up girl name the other day and he loved that too.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Last time I didn't want to rush my pregnancy, I knew she would be here when she got here, and until then I would enjoy our last few months of silence and it being just us. But this time, I am dying for March to be here. I wish I could fast forward and just see, and make sure our LO gets here ok.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
First u/s is later this afternoon!! I nervous and scared. I hope it goes well.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
I've had pretty bad morning sickness this week and I feel exhausted all the time. No cravings or aversions yet.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
It was fairly easy with both our boys. We haven't really started talking names yet but I am loving the name Laurena (Lore-EN-ah) for a girl. I haven't thought of any boy names yet.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Please just let me get through the u/s okay!!
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Had our a/s on Wednesday. Baby is looking good and we found out its a little fella. :-D Also found out he has bilateral choroid plexus cysts on his brain. Dr said without other factors, it generally clears up by week 28. Little boy didnt have any other factors, so T&Ps they do clear up.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Feeling some movement, so that is good.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something? We like mostly the same. Im a bit more old fashioned than he is, so he vetoed a few of mine. We waited to discuss names both times pretty much until after the a/s. It was a good thing this time, because we are clueless about a girls name. Have had our boy name picked out since before we started ttc our daughter.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? We are hopefully closing on the house today!!! Really ready to get in there so we can put this one up on the market. Also, filled out all my early registration for the hospital today. That was interesting.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 11w0d/lime
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? No, my midwive is 2.5 hours away and with our loss this year I just don't have a lot of time off left, so I asked if we could stretch out the appointments. My next appt. will be at approx. 20 weeks for the a/s.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Only symptom is feeling pretty tired after work most days. But I do manage to get the energy to walk on the weekends, hopefully will be getting some energy back in the next couple of weeks.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something? We have discussed a couple of names and have reached kind of an agreement on both but we only talked about it once. I think we both are just kind of waiting for the a/s before we get too excited about names and such.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? So happy that I got a surprise u/s at my appt. on Wednesday and that baby is looking good so far! We are going to Vegas in a week and it will be so nice to get away and take our minds off of everything for a little while!
6 weeks tomorrow
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Nope. One week till my first ultrasound and I am going crazy waiting.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
I don't have a lot of symptoms and that is really worrying. I am basically only having vivid dreams, slightly tender breast at times, and a little nausea once in a while. I really wish I felt pregnant.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
It's too early for us to be discussing names, but I am pretty sure if this pregnancy works out, we will be going with what ever I want. We couldn't agree and weren't prepared when our angel was born and had to decide on a name in the hospital, that wont be happening again.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
16w6d...avocado (I seriously just looked at my phone for about a minute trying to remember what size baby was)
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Today is my second cervix check. I am extremely anxious about it even though my cervix was being a rock star at the last check. Then I realized today is the 6 month mark since we lost Alice. My anxiety makes more sense now.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
I haven't pooped in 2 days...that is less than awesome (whining-I just want to poop!) My boobs are super sore, DH is back to the look don't touch rule, for awhile they were ok and he could touch, not anymore. And my hips have really been aching lately.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
He seems pretty laid back about names. And hasn't had too many objections to any I have mentioned. We are following the Jewish tradition of naming after a deceased relative, either using their actual name or the first letter of their name. That helps narrow down potential names.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am just anxious about my appt this afternoon. I want good news because emotionally I don't know if I could handle bad news today.
@MrsNice, good luck today! Will be thinking of you.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 7 weeks, 4 days. Blueberry.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My u/s is this Wednesday, 10/2. I am super anxious and nervous.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I'm having a lot of aversions, nothing seems to really appeal to me these days. I can eat much better in the morning than in the evenings, and my diet has started to consist of a lot of carbs. I have a nauseous and hungry feeling at the same time, strange.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something? We were actually just talking about names last night, even though I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. We agree on a girl's name but cannot really agree on a boy's name.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My angelversary is one week from today, so Ava is on my mind constantly. I'm starting to feel all of those same feelings I felt a year ago. Questioning why, wishing I had answers, wishing I could go back in time, etc. Can anyone recommend to me how best to handle my angelversary while pregnant? I'm so afraid that my emotions will be so intense I could harm the baby. I sort of blame my heavy crying on my last early m/c. For those that had angelversaries pass while PGaL, how did you handle it?

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 22w5d. NO idea on the fruit.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next OB is Tuesday. I've been having Braxton-Hicks at night, so I might get another u/s out of this appointment, too.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Braxton-Hicks [they were really bad on Wednesday], and having some issues getting comfortable. I think my PgAL brain is making a bigger deal out of things than it should, but it's so hard to calm down. I still use my doppler and feel baby girl moving around, so I just need to calm my butt down. I hope Tuesday goes well.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something? We had such a hard time agreeing on all the names. Our first was fairly easy because he has the same first and middle name as H, but we battled about a second middle name [and I won that battle]. Devon was either going to be Devon or Jacoby, but I got to pick the first name and H got to pick the middle, so it worked. We have a name for this baby - Mia - and we agreed on it fairly quickly. Middle name is posing a challenge, though.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I hate PgAL brain. I hope baby is OK. I just want it to be January. I miss Devon.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
Five weeks tomorrow -- still very early
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I have my ultrasound on October 8th. I had my third beta come back and so far they are looking good. First beta was 58, second beta was 252 and third beta was 782. The numbers are more than doubling which is great. I have a fourth beta this Monday.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
Sore boobs and I wake up at the same exact time in the middle of the night every day. That was actually my first sign that I was pregnant because that happens each pregnancy for me. I feel a little nauseous but not too bad. Unfortunately I know that pregnancy symptoms come and go and from experience don't seem to be a true indication of how things are going on inside for my body.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
We have a boy name picked out. It is a name that we have loved since we starting trying to conceive originally. We are pretty much on the same page about names in that we are pretty traditional but honestly can't even begin to talk about that stuff just yet.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Feeling so much gratitude for getting to this point in this pregnancy even if it is still the very beginning. I pray at least two times a day that this baby won't be taken from us. I start to get excited and then tell myself to ease up. It's an emotional roller coaster but again so grateful that today I am pregnant and that things seem to be going well so far. I like to think that my baby girl is looking out for us.
(((Big squishy hugs))) I will be thinking of you and Ava on Friday as well. I wasn't Pg on Ian's first Angelversary since Zachary decided to come three weeks early, but I was dreading it. I can understand your fear. Maybe try to plan something that you know calms you. Perhaps go for a walk to a peaceful spot where you can sit and reflect on all the wonderful love she has brought you and the good times you had even tho it was so brief. I hope that, whatever you do, you can find some peace when the day arrives.
Thank you!!
Thanks so much. And I'm so glad to see that your scan went well!!! Congrats! Good idea about taking a walk and doing something that calms me. It's actually supposed to be a beautiful day that day, so a nice nature walk might do me some good. Such a sad week ahead, I'm already irritable. Xox

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Closing in on the first trimester feels really good. Next appointment will be the NT scan next Friday Oct 11th...
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
Not really. Nausea comes and goes, but not true MS. And no real cravings or aversions, but definitely some foods I don't like to eat any more (like raw veggies and hummus and red pasta sauce - this happened when I was pregnant with the trips, too)
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
DH is pretty easy to get along with! I like traditional (mostly biblical) names. When choosing the triplets' names it was really easy. Since we've already used three names we loved, we weren't sure where to begin for this one. However, I think we've settled on names (and we're hoping to be Team Green - so we won't know which name it'll be until baby is here)
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
It's been a rough week - probably more with my grief, than with this pregnancy. I passed my EDD on Monday - and it's starting to get to the point where DH and I need to talk about when we're going to start telling family and friends about this pregnancy - but I'm just not ready yet. I'm really trying to celebrate this baby, just difficult when you're sad...
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have an u/s scheduled for Wednesday and I'll finally be meeting with the MFM the following Tuesday.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Just super sore boobs and complete exhaustion.
QOTW: Does your SO like the same kind of names as you do? Is it fairly easy when discussing names or do you have a hard time agreeing on something?
We aren't allowed to talk about names until after we find out what we're having. It was such an ordeal to pick names last time and we don't want to spend time arguing about any names that we don't need.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm so nervous about having twins again and what that means for my IC. I'm just praying for good news when we meet with the MFM next week.
