Re: 1st Tri Check-In 2/19
1.How many weeks/days along are you?
8 weeks 5days
2. How are you feeling?
Sick all throughout the day. Sometimes food makes it better, sometimes it makes it worse. It sucks when I guess wrong.
3. Upcoming appointments?Anything new?
OB appointment on 2/23. I just hope they do an U/S. I want that piece of mind again. Just been really anxious of all the what ifs.
QOTW: What is your go to "safe food" to eat right now? ie: food that typically doesn't make you ill or even makes you feel better?
Carbs, carbs and carbs! Lately it's an everything bagel and cream cheese. Cures my MS, for about an hour or two. These babies are determined to make me gain 100 lbs. I can't do anything sweet or I am violently ill, except for fresh fruit.
2. How are you feeling?Any symptoms or cravings? I am feeling less nauseous overall, but it still comes and goes. I seem to crave sour things like sour gummy candy. I also had a craving for pancakes the other day.
3. Upcoming appointments? My next appointment will be at 16 weeks
QOTW: What is your go to "safe food" to eat right now? ie: food that typically doesn't make you ill or even makes you feel better? pretzels, cheezits, cereal and fruit all seem to help or at least not make me more nauseous. If I eat too much at one time I feel sick, and anything creamy like casseroles or pasta sound really gross to me.

2. How are you feeling? Any symptoms or cravings?
I've had a low throb downtown. Not cramps but just a dull pain mostly when I sit for a long period of time. It's not very pleasant. Plus my obgyn kept me on the progrestrone until next Wednesday. So over these little shits. I love pineapple and the baby hates it. So no pineapple for me anymore. Oh well. I pretty much only want carbs still. Every once in a while I'll grow a veggie in there.
Upcoming appointments?
My next appt is this upcoming Wednesday. I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat since we have only seen it on the screen. My Doppler still isn't picking it up.

I can eat anything that doesn't involve spice or tomato-based items. My faves this week: (still) cheese and cookies. Pomegranates are the bomb. Ice water is divine. Love Sunchips right now.

2. How are you feeling?Any symptoms or cravings? No symptoms at all. My breasts even do not hurt, it is very strange. I only have like period cramping here and there that worries me but thankfully no bleeding/spotting.
3. Upcoming appointments? Today was the first u/s at the RE. Next week I will travel to Chicago to see Dr. Kwak-Kim and get a doppler u/s at 7w to see the blood flow to the embryo. From that point on Dr. KK wants me to get weekly u/s throughout the first trimester and my RE is on board with that.
QOTW: Thankfully I am not nauseous (yet). I am doing strict paleo diet (no grains, no dairy, no sugar, no legumes) for anti-inflammation reasons and my comfort food right now are nuts: cashew, hazelnut, almonds.
