PGAL weekly check in!!

nik6499

since several of us indicated we would like a check in, I thought maybe it could use its own thread

BostonBaby1

@nik6499 thank you sweetheart! Great idea!

We are waiting for Monday's ultrasound and praying that we hear heartbeat! That should be 7w2days according to their measurements from our first ultrasound.

How are you doing? Where are you at right now?

yl1m32015

I'm 7 wks today, feeling very tired and these allergies/cold is kicking my butt.

BostonBaby1

@Embuzz247 feel better soon mama!

kimb311

Love a check in! I dropped my DD off at her Mother's Day out, came home and slept on the couch instead of doing the million things I should have. Oh well.
Tomorrow is our second ultrasound. I will be 7w2days and hoping for a lot more detail and growth. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.

blackw15

This is great! I'm 6w2d today, first u/s is in exactly 2 weeks. Feeling pretty good today aside from some mild nausea and heartburn this morning.

ayewizzz

Went for first ultrasound today 6w 3days. Bouts of nausea but other wise just exhausted.

BostonBaby1

@kimb311 good luck tomorrow! Please keep us updated?

@nik6499 how did today's ultrasound go for you?

7 weeks 5 days ultrasound in 2 weeks

kimb311

I will! Based on how absolutely HORRIBLE I have felt this whole time, I'm hoping things are good.

5 weeks today. No symtpoms except exhaustion and irritability. We've decided not to see a doctor for a few more weeks so I'm just going with the flow. We didn't have any clue there was a problem until the end of the first trimester last time so I feel like I won't be fully calm and accepting until I'm past 15 weeks.

Good for you for resting! You're growing another human so I'm all for giving yourself permission to take it easy.

@Knottie1427773476 it was good I think. the RE was the most 'chipper' he has ever been with me at scans during other pregnancies. He said everything that he expected to see was there, our fetal pole had a heart flicker, they couldn't pick up the beat yet but he said at this point it's perfectly fine to just see the flicker and he said we will follow up with him two more scans and as long as we have heartbeats twice we will graduate up to the OB. So I'm sticking to my cautious and detached mind frame but I did breath a little easier since his demeanor was completely different this visit.

kimb311

My RE isnt a big ball of sunshine either. Last week he said something like " yep all parts are there and I can see a flutter. But remember we were here last year. So let's be cautiously optimistic" no congratulations or anything :-S

BostonBaby1

@nik6499 that's sounds like good news to me! I'll be praying and keeping everything crossed that it continues to go as planned and that you got to hear a nice heartbeat next time!

@kimb311 it sounds like your RE and my RE Took a course on how to be "cautiously optimistic." Lol!

nik6499

@kimb311 and @Knottie1427773476 I think they all take that course lol. This was the first time he was ever like this, first time he didn't say cautiously optimistic I hope that's a good thing and he wasn't just chipper because of an early morning quickie with the missus or something lol

presleymom25

I'm 8w1d today! Past my loss at 6 weeks and saw and heard the heartbeat at 7w3d. God granted me a nap with 2 kids who rarely nap and if they do definitely not at the same time! Heavenly!

A quickie with the missus! Love it!

i'm 6w5d and this is as far as i've ever been! first US on friday morning can't come soon enough! exhausted. all the time. DH and i went to a bar & grille to see his sister (she just started bartending there for her summer home from college and was doing some training) and i fell asleep, at the bar, while i was talking with a friend and eating food. other than that i've got some dizziness and sore boobs. and i also want to eat all the cream cheese bagels in the world - but limited myself to 1 today. had a very rare desire to clean so i just spend the last 2 hours dusting, vacuuming, and straightening up.

thank you to @nik6499 for starting this thread!

BostonBaby1

@nik6499 LOL!!!

So I'm trying to stay calm, I have pink tinged toilet paper which is totally freaking me out! TMI ALERT- In all fairness, DH and I just had relations that were less than what one might consider to be gentle, and I have read on all of the previous posts that this can be very normal. Still, I am worried beyond belief! I think for us PGAL, anything pink is scary. Hoping and praying it will stop ASAP!

nik6499

Pink is ok, it's normal you just bumped your cervix. It should stop soon, breathe. I won't tell you to relax I hate when people say that to me, but get some rest and resume wiping tomorrow

BostonBaby1

@nik6499 I LOVE you!!! Lol! =D>

I love this! I'm 5 or 6 weeks... my ovulation was so very off this month and I was benched so I wasn't tracking like I normally would. So far things are good, my sore breast kicked In this week. as weird as it is I'm glad I was wondering where they were. I have my first appt next Friday, I'm pretty excited. Meanwhile I'm hooked on the poas addiction pretty bad, I know it's not good.... but I sure do like to see those lines. I miscarried in Jan at 11 wks and my pregnancy had been so dramatic with spotting and ultrasounds that I'm really very excited that this one has been pretty chill so far.

kimb311

Had our second ultrasound this morning, and all looked good! I gained a day now measuring 7w+3. Heard the heart beat at 158. Hcg went up and progesterone went up as well. My RE has released me to the OB and just asked that I send him a picture when we deliver

FraggleChic

I'll be 7w on Saturday and we are well past the point where I started bleeding last month so I hope this is our rainbow baby. I'm tired all the time and irritable but other than that I feel okay. I was so sick the first half of my pregnancy with my daughter...it would be nice to avoid that this time around! But of course the lack of m/s has me all paranoid too.

Bubbz

My nausea didn't appear today so I'm inwardly freaking out a little.

Oi.

Goldsgirl9

6weeks and had my first u/s yesterday. I measured a couple days behind where I thought I was, 6w 4d. We saw a teeny tiny baby and heart beat but couldn't hear it. Nice and strong. We go back in three weeks for another u/s but I'm still kinda nervous: not sure why. Doc seemed happy. I'm either queasy or starving. Very irritating, today I am exhausted.

My RE told me the exact same thing when he released me! He said he looked forward to a Christmas birth announcement. It made me feel a little more confident. 

nik6499

@Goldsgirl9 I hear you mine was virtually the same and I'm still sort of holding my breathe until the next appointment. I know my RE was so much different then he has been in the past but I'm just not ready to embrace the possibility and open myself up yet. I feel like I have been to this point before, yes things were different BUT I need to be able to hold myself together so I need to be neutral still. If I hear that heartbeat next week I will lose my shit Iol

BostonBaby1

@nik6499 what day next week is your ultrasound? I'm also going to lose my shit if everything goes well at your appointment! :-)

susiaustin

9w2d trying to keep my mind off tomorrow and my angel baby. Heart beat check on Doppler Tuesday we only get an u/s if LO being difficult. Baby brother got married today which is also hard because I want to be married to my SO even though we haven't been together as long as we should be, but wanted an engagement ring. He keeps saying not till I understand he not marrying me for the sake of the LO.... Idk rough day mind in a million places. I think week 9 been the worst one yet. Had morning sickness at lunch for the first time in a little over 2 weeks... I'm just a mess and really need a big hug

BostonBaby1

@susiaustin (((hugs))) i'm sorry you're having an awful day! And I'm also sorry that you want to get married but your so wants to wait. Who is to say how long is right? DH and I got engaged after three months. Most people would think that that is insane, but we couldn't be more in love! I hope that your day goes better and I am sending you lots and lots of love and hugs!

Thanks a bunch.. My parents teasing us we didn't wait long to get pregnant.. We've been together 3 months, I'm entering into my 3rd month of pregnancy, oppsy!! I love my new SIL but my brother was my baby, he's all grown up and it makes me sad, it's like mother of the groom syndrome my poor mom has a daughter married with 2 kids, me the middle one pregnant, and a son who got married today, empty nest just hoping for a heart beat (A SINGLE ONE) Tuesday

nik6499

@Knottie1427773476 lucky you my DH waited THREE years and then asked me to marry him after we found out we were pregnant during my masters thesis, we miscarried less than a week later and he INSISTED a we get married in January (proposed) in November. So I had to finish my masters thesis, graduate plan a wedding and get married in less than 60 days lol waited three years to propose and then apparently had waited long enough lol

Oi.

How many weeks are you? My nausea started around 6 weeks. At around 7 weeks or so it completely subsided and I had three to four fabulous days. I was so nervous and worried when the nausea just inexplicably went away. However, during that time I also had an ultrasound that showed a baby right on target with a strong heart beat. Also, after those few days with no nausea, it returned with a vengeance! Now it comes and goes with some good days or hours and some bad days or hours. I guess my point is, though we will always worry when something changes in symptoms, it is likely to be perfectly fine. My doc told me fluctuating symptoms are normal and that is what I have been experiencing so far. Wishing you a healthy baby and pregnancy!

kimb311

I had an evening of less nausea last night and I was FREAKING out. I couldn't even enjoy feeling well! Glad I'm not the only one.

Beckah31

We're gearing up to tell the inlaws on Sunday. I'll be 7weeks, but we had a decent heartbeat and so far everything is on target and I don't want to leave them in the dark- even/especially if things go wrong.
I'm still super nervous. With the twins, we have them a photo album. On the first page was a pic of Baby Owen and the note- "We're having a baby..." And the next page was Kate and "and then we're having another one!"
Still not sure what I'm going to do. Any super cute ideas? We thought about a bib or onsie or pacifier.

hugheston

Sorry y'all, I posted then later figured out what PGAL stands for but I don't know how to delete a comment, only edit it. I'm sorry for your losses. I hope this time gives you all healthy rainbow babies.
