Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My next u/s is on Halloween and my next OB apt is Nov 7th.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Still morning sickness, still super tired tho it is starting to ease up a little bit.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" Right now I've just been saying no and leave it at that. If pushed, I say that this is my third pregnancy, then the person will make a comment about how busy I will be. I will smile, nod and move on. Anyone who is important in my life already know my history so I don't stress about what strangers think.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My phone works! Z had dropped it in a glass of water but the rice trick worked. :-)

I have a home Doppler and have been able to find the HB with that, however, the last week I tried it took me a really long time. I have refrained from using it since. I am constantly scared that I will go for my u/s next week to find that I've had a MMC so I will probable break down and try my Doppler again before then. PgAL brain sucks!

I totally have pregnancy brain going on already!! I am so forgetful lately and just feel like my mind is working at half speed these days. Funny story: the other day I was depositing my pay cheque at the bank machine and took out some cash. When I went to put the money in my wallet I noticed that my debit card was missing. I totally started to freak out! I was looking all through my purse and pockets, and I was starting to panic. I needed to go to the drug store so I decided to take more cash out since I wouldn't be able to pay by debit.Then the machine asked if I wanted to do any more transactions so I hit NO. So of course the machine then spits out my debit card. I felt like the biggest looser!!! So dumb! LOL!!! :-P

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 19 weeks 2 days, a mango

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?just a cervix check this week.  A/S last week and found out we're having another girl.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?I still get nauseous, and some things just make me want to gag.  Still puking occasionally too.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" I usually sat, "we have two in Heaven".

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  Just very thankful Boo is healthy and my cervix is looking good.  But still, even a day after my appt, I start to worry again.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 26w6d - lettuce. 

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Just did my glucose test on Thursday; no clue if I passed or not. Hope to find out the results at my next OB appointment on Tuesday.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? My back's starting to hurt, and Braxton-Hicks are around. Besides that, feeling pretty good.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" Most times, I just say that this is my second baby. I always feel bad saying that, but I just don't want to rehash all of that every single time someone asks. I will be more forthcoming about Devon if someone asks that I'm getting to know, but if it's a completely random person, I'll just say this is my second.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Third tri is just around the corner, and we've started buying baby things. It makes me so nervous, but I'm trying to remain calm and enjoy the last three months of my pregnancy. I have an OB appointment on Tuesday and my next MFM/ultrasound appointment a week from Monday, so I'm hoping those things will help ease my mind as 3rd tri starts. Kinda can't believe I'm at this point.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? Just found out last week! I am 4 weeks and 4 days. Poppyseed!

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My first appt isn't until November 25. No idea how I'll make it that long!

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Idk if it's a craving, but just like with my pregnancy with Ava, I want soup ad grilled cheese.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?"

I haven't thought much about that yet. Everyone that know personally knows about Ava,

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

I'm terrified and excited. Just praying this will be our take home baby. I miss Ava so much and I like to think she's watching over me and taking care of me and poppy.

Congrats @JessicaG220!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 23 weeks, 4 days. 

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next appointment is in Nov. 

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Feeling lots of movement, which is always somewhat calming. TMI, I feel like I am having more discharge this time around and a part of me freaks out its amniotic fluid. But, it really is just a lot of discharge keeping my cervix healthy.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" I say no. If someone asks further, I tell them our first daughter was stillborn. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I would write a book, so I will refrain for now. Lots of love to you all!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
14w 6d - tomorrow we graduate to an orange, I believe

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Regular appt with OB on Thursday and next week I begin Progesterone shots and cervix checks...can't believe we're to that point!

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
Eh...not really.  Some things make me gag which is annoying (just like last time) but no real cravings...

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?"
I've thought about this a lot.
Right now, no one really knows we're pregnant.  I expect that when we do tell people, most know our background so they won't ask that.  I do, however, expect some people to "not get it" and say something like you must be so excited for your first - which I will correct.  When strangers ask if this is my first, I will say "no."  If they push, I'll tell them how many children I have, and I do expect it to be a little uncomfortable (triplets surprise everyone, plus I like to include that I have a stepson) it's important to me to include all...

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I'm really struggling with integrating this pregnancy/baby with the triplets.  Meaning I feel like I'm either grieving and sad about my babies or happy about this one - I'm on two separate tracks and I want the tracks to merge.  I know they will at some point, but just been a hard week....

Hi Ladies, hope everyone is doing well this week. congrats @jessicag220!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? I am approx. 5 weeks 4 days...I think an appleseed

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? first official appt. is the 7th but my OB may let me go in later this week for an early US since I have had spotting (as of last Wednesday betas looked good)

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? acne and maybe tingly boobs, I feel like I may be making up the boobs.  My last loss was a MMC so no symptoms is freaking me out.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" I usually just consider the source.  If it is someone I will never meet again I just go along with yes if it is someone that should know about Bunny then I will go into it.  It's a hard question for sure but I usually don't have guilt about the situations where I just don't need to go into the details (usually because I will cry)

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I feel very hopeful this week even though my spotting is still there.  I am just really hoping to see a HB soon.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
21w2d and baby is a pomegranate

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I passed my loss milestone last week when I hit 20w5d. And I had my first post cerclage cervix check on Friday. Baby boy is looking good and my cervix is also looking good.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
No real aversions. I started feeling small movements this week. I never really felt Alice move so this is new and sort of strange.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?"
I adopted my stepson, it was finalized on 3/19/13, a week before we lost Alice. I use to say last pregnancy "first pregnancy and baby, but second child". No one asks if this is my first with this one, but they do ask if I think we'll try for a girl (this LO is a bouncing boy who proudly shows off his junk at every u/s). Depending on who asks I usually say "we lost our daughter"

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am actually feeling really hopeful that this little guy is coming home in March.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
20 weeks - a banana I believe.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestone
I can't wait for my a/s next week! I can't wait to see the baby in 4d showing me all his organs in him! I think I'm more excited to see his belly than any other part of him!!

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
Mashed potatoes and gravy!!

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?"
I hAve struggled with this in the past, I simply say no this is #4, lots of people do not go into the details though. If they do I simply say ds is 10, dd #1 is 8 and dd#2 WOULD BE 6 months now. Most people drop it then.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am struggling with hypoglycemia. If my sugar goes below 100 I get symptomatic fast. So I'm pricking my finger a lot and trying to constantly eat something healthy.

tracint

I dont know why but posting here has been alot more difficult than I think it should be:/ but I think it's time... fingers crossed

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? We're 14weeks not sure on the fruit...

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have an endocrinologist appt on Thurs then a post cerclage check up next Wed

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?  Headaches ugh!! and I can't get enough pickles lol (pickle spears, pickle relish, fried pickles, etc:))

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?" I live in a somewhat small town so most people I see already know our situation. I have said something like "this is our third pregnancy" and just left it at that.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I was preoccupied with the cerclage but now that that is done I keep thinking about reaching the 21week mark... since we lost both Edyn and Lorelei at each of their 21week marks. But I'm trying to stay positive and trying to just enjoy this pregnancy

best of luck to everyone else. and grow babies grow!! :-)

Congrats @JessicaG220!

How far along are you?
I am 5 weeks along

What size fruit is your baby this week?
Our baby is the size of an apple seed

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Yesterday we met our new doctor, he was great! He understood that we are both a nervous wreck, he understood that we will have tons of questions and concerns, and he said he is always available through his cellphone and we are free to call him whenever! He is going to try his best to make this baby the one we bring home! He sent me for blood work to get my beta count, that's my next appointment in Monday.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
One of my strongest cravings has been for salad with ceaser dressing, with croutons, lots and lots of croutons. No aversions, I haven't had bad morning sickness like I did with Domenik, but I'm not doubting that it may come a little later.

QOTW: How do/will you answer the question "is this your first?"
I haven't told anyone except my mom, and two of my co-workers about this pregnancy and they all know about Domenik. But I think if I'm ever asked "is this your first" I will just answer "NO, they have an older sibling in heaven!"

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
To make it to week 6! Eat health, and cut down on coffee.
