Re: Tuesday check-in
How are you feeling? Woke up nauseous, but it comes and goes throughout my mornings, and my chest is still sore all over.
Doing anything baby related today? I want to take inventory of what I have from my son (I'm a planner and saved everything), but I'm feeling like it is still early. I checked his clothes the other day, and most have breastmilk/spit up stains on the front, even though they were washed before put away. What I need to do...write 2 papers. I'm so ready to be finished with my masters.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm looking forward to an easy going day at work. The countdown to our holiday break has started.
Questions?
Positive vibes to those dealing with loss and those waiting for important updates!!
Hope you are all well today. Sending positive vibes!
How far along are you? 9w3d
How are you feeling? Tired, but boobs hurt a bit less today. Trying to figure out what will work for lunch today. I'm also a bit put off by meat but am going to try!
Doing anything baby related today?
Not today; have already had 2 scans. Have another one with the Harmony test next week Tuesday (week from today!).
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just positive vibes and happy December to all! The silly season is upon us!
Questions?
How do you deal with anxiety? I've been deep breathing/meditating but looking for all suggestions!
Good luck on your papers! I'm just polishing up my Masters Thesis! It's tedious work, I feel your pain.
How are you feeling? Still pretty good
Doing anything baby related today? Probably not today, but last night we toured our birth center!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I lost my last pregnancy at 5+6. Really trying to think positively this week - grow baby grow!

How are you feeling? Nauseated per usual
Doing anything baby related today? My first prenatal is this morning. No idea what to expect but hoping for an ultrasound
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Not sure if this is a rant or rave. I slept 12 hours last night. I still don't feel refreshed. ::Big sigh::
Questions?
How are you feeling? okay. STARVING. Nausea is still here, but it's minimal this morning.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Just being pregnant. Albeit it leaked at work (thanks to my DH) so I'm sure I'll hear about it by noonish after the one person who found out blabs to the office.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just tired of waiting for my big day to come. Hurry up time!!!
Questions?
How are you feeling? Well, after yesterday's appointment, I am finally taking meds to help with this sinus crap and instead of nausea meds, she recommended zantac to control my stomach acid. I'm skeptical but I'm trying it..I still feel nauseated this morning but I'm trying my best. The sinus stuff seems to have calmed down.
Doing anything baby related today? Yes, going in for an ultrasound. I can't wait to see my lobster.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Maybe it's just mentally but I feel better after my appointment. Now that I know what I can take, I don't feel guilty wanting to take medicine to help myself. And the fact that my husband made such an effort to be with me yesterday meant a lot. The first pregnancy really freaked him out and he was sort of distant. This time, he's making a better effort. He loves our son more than anything in the world but pregnancy/baby stuff is just not his thing.

How are you feeling? Tired, slightly sore boobs
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, work as usual
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Was reading on Dr. Google that electric blankets are a no-no during the first trimester - but I freeze every night without mine so last night I had to layer on blankets and socks to stay warm.
Questions? Anyone know if electric blankets are an absolute no-no? I couldn't find a definitive answer but didn't want to cause harm because I wasn't sure.
How are you feeling? Nauseous. All day. Every day.
Doing anything baby related today? YES! OB bloodwork and paperwork day. I believe they're going over family history. Was told this is the longest doctor appointment (where the dr will be with me) I will have.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I cried last night because my MIL is getting the same thing as I was for DH for Christmas, but hers is 1000000000 times better. (A sloth interaction at a private zoological center with photos and you can feed and pet the sloth plus a tour of the center, whereas mine was a 20 minute meet and greet with a sloth at a small wildlife center but you can't touch it.) Kind of funny we planned the exact same thing though.
How are you feeling? Tired today with slightly sore boobs. That's about it though...
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I found out yesterday that our first dr's appt will just be paperwork and going over what our future appts will be, which bums me out a bit. I'll get a slip to get blood work done and some other tests to confirm the pregnancy. I was just hoping to get more of an exam at the first one. I know I just need to enjoy being pregnant, but it can be hard sometimes when I start overthinking every little thing.
Questions? None.
How far along are you? 6w2d
How are you feeling? Good
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: not pregnancy related, but I'm annoyed at the bump that treads on the board home page don't update automatically anymore.
Questions?
How are you feeling? Fatigue but other than that not too bad. Nausea randomly comes but it's just gagging at this point.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope! OR.... I can shop online for some stuff. I have been waiting to hear a heartbeat before I started to buy anything.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Got my flu shot yesterday and since then I have noticed how many times I randomly run into walls. Why am I so clumsy?
How are you feeling? always tired, always nauseated
Doing anything baby related today? working, so I can accrue the vacation time and money to take full leave next year.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: my aunt, quietly and off to the side, called me out for not drinking at Thanksgiving. hopefully she does as I asked and keeps it quiet so I can spread the news myself on Xmas day. gah. also my first appt is tomorrow afternoon, wish me luck!
Married: Halloween 2010

How are you feeling? a little better than yesterday and thank god for metamucil!!
Doing anything baby related today? I'm currently watching the documentary " the business of being born" on Netflix. Pretty interesting to hear about the whole labor and delivery in the US.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Happy to be pregnant, despite all the symptoms I keep my eyes on the prize
Questions?
I recently came off my anxiety meds so it has been difficult but I am working hard to stay off them. If you are really struggling I would suggest talking to your doctor.
How far along are you? 9+4
How are you feeling? Better today. No nausea yesterday or today so far!
Doing anything baby related today? No. We are waiting until our first US to do/buy anything baby just in case. I go next week though!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My upstairs neighbors have been evicted! They took off already so I actually slept all night. It's been over a month since I have slept!
How are you feeling? Pretty good but a little nervous
Doing anything baby related today?yes! First prenatal visit today and I'm kinda freaking out about it.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: looking forward to seeing the baby and hearing a strong heartbeat!
Questions?
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Just tired and cramps. I also think I might have a UTI.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have homework and I don't want to do it. Only 2 more weeks and I'm done with this semester!
Questions? Nope
How are you feeling? Pretty good, well-rested for sure. Slept for 10 hours after getting a massive headache last night and feeling much better now! Plus the pancake breakfast in the cafeteria today smells nicer than whatever they made yesterday. Pancake smells I can handle.
Doing anything baby related today? Just obsessively stalking TB as per usual. Also have my paperwork intake appointment tomorrow morning so looking forward to that.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I love slow season at work! It's so nice to get to soak in the tub and lay around putting on lotion and dry brushing in the morning before work. Also I can browse online and chit chat half the day. It's so much better for pregnancy than freaking out and working extra hours trying to get everything done. I know busy season is coming, but it'll be just in time for second tri so hopefully energy will be back then. I've decided to scale back my work outs to 3 times a week instead of 5 too- just not enough energy to maintain my old routine. Taking a sleep-in, rest, and relax morning every Tues/Thurs is wonderful!
Questions? Are we not supposed to eat blue cheese? I have been scarfing down the blue cheese dressing with carrot sticks as a favorite snack lately... If this one of "da rulez", how serious of a rule do you think it is? Like baby is going to have a fungus infection now or like the deli meat thing- probably okay, but just a precaution? Guess I have a reason to buy vegan blue cheese dressing now. But boooooo
9W2D closing in on double digits!
How are you feeling?
Pretty good the last few days. Quick puke in the morning and good for the rest of the day.
Doing anything baby related?
Not today, awaiting first appointment still on Monday!
Rants/raves/PV:
Nothing really today. Putting off cleaning up my house from hosting family Xmas on the weekend because......screw that.
How are you feeling? Started today nausea free, which was amazing after yesterday's non stop morning sickness. I can feel it starting to creep back up though
Doing anything baby related? Going to see a specialist to look into some uterus abnormalities. I was a giant wreck yesterday but feeling much more positive today. Upside to cookie tossing is I'm certainly feeling very pregnant.
Rant/Rave? Rave! My husband took our dogs for a walk last night and came home with deep fried pickles because I had made a joke about them. He's also been putting silly reminders in my phone to make me laugh and stress less
How are you feeling? Good today.. The last two days were rough though with lots of nausea!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope! My first u/s isn't for 3 more weeks!! Ugh.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My 16 month old slept until 9 am this morning (even with a 7:30pm bedtime!!) yay for extra sleep!
Questions? Nope!
How are you feeling? Feeling OK. I've been nauseous and feel extremely hung over in the evenings, but fine the rest of the day so far. And I can't stop making trips to the bathroom, which sucks at work because it's a hike.
Doing anything baby related today? Just stalking TB
How are you feeling? Amazing. Diclegis is a miracle drug. Because I'm not puking my face off, I can essentially ignore the fact that I feel like I may fall asleep at any moment.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I went to be at 7:15 last night. The CBS evening news wasn't even over yet. I'm not even sorry though.
Questions?
Married: October 2014
TTC #1 since September 2015
How are you feeling? so exhausted. I am struggling to make it through the day, but sometimes I am awake in the middle of the night with insomnia. Nausea off and on too.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, just waiting for my next ultrasound in a week
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I seriously don't know how I am going to make it through the first trimester if I stay this tired. I am dying today.
Questions? none
How are you feeling? Blah - nauseous and tired
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. Honestly, most of the time I'm too busy to remember I'm pregnant.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: None today
DD #2: EDD July 2016
How are you feeling? Exhausted. Queasy. No appetite. Pregnant.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope. We had a 6 week scan yesterday though.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We saw and heard the heartbeat yesterday and everything looks good. But today I'm back to being a bundle of nerves again. I had my mc last time at 8 weeks (baby stopped growing at 6.5 weeks) so I'm thinking I'll still continue to be nervous until I pass that mark and know everything is growing as it should. Two weeks from today is my 8 week scan. Trying to stay busy and not stress until then!
Questions? Nada....for now
How are you feeling? Still super nauseous
Doing anything baby related today? Well, if you count going to the store to get Lucky Charms cause I was craving them as something baby related...then that....but really no.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Nothing to rant/rave about today, so all the positive vibes to anyone struggling today.
How are you feeling? Constantly full feeling and tired
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I feel like I'm not pregnant and want to keep testing
How far along are you? 8+6
How are you feeling? Not as nauseated as I have been but tired and emotionally exhausted.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: After bleeding all weekend but getting good ultrasound results yesterday I feel cautiously relieved. But I got to work this morning and when my boss asked how I was doing I had a complete meltdown in his office with full on ugly cry. It was embarrassing. At least he is very patient and understanding and is being very accommodating of all the issues I've had with the pregnancy so far.
Questions? Not today. Wishing everyone a good day and happy thoughts though.
How far along are you? 7w 4d
How are you feeling? Couldn't get out of bed this morning - so tired! Also probably the most nauseous thus far... trying not to move very much out of fear I might puke on my keyboard at work.
Doing anything baby related today? Was hoping to get the results of my OB panel and progesterone level, but looks like I'll have to wait an extra day. Have to wait 3 more weeks for my next prenatal appointment and U/S... BOO!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've been so tempted to skip a night of taking my progesterone supplement - they are so sickeningly sweet that I almost ralph just thinking of them... it doesn't help that I feel the most nauseous in the evenings when I'm supposed to take them at bedtime. BUT, I am so thankful for the person who invented these little things - without them, I likely wouldn't be able to carry a pregnancy to term.
How are you feeling? Overall good - I have an annoying headache that wont go away - and I am irrationally irritated at anyone and everything at work (does not bode so well for hiding it till January when my crazy is showing!!)
Doing anything baby related today? Not today - next U/S appt is next Friday so waiting till that. I did buy a few baby things yesterday for Cyber Monday sales!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Sending positive vibes to anyone with troubling symptoms or issues this week! Fx everything works out for all you mommys to be! My rant is just that its raining and I'd like to be at home in bed...
How are you feeling? Fine today, although a mini airhead gave me a little heartburn. Maybe it was left over from the hot sauce at lunch...
Doing anything baby related today? Does eating count? Oh! I bought a pregnancy journal last night! (See pic)
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm just glad for people getting positive news after some scares. No rants for me today. Also, not pg related, I appreciate my department chair for coming and planning a lesson WITH me, not just telling me abstract ways to improve.
Questions? Nope.
How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise, feeling good. I have been feeling extra tired lately, but the sore breasts have improved.
Doing anything baby related today? not today!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Here's my rant about my crappy crappy immune system. I got a cold the week after I got my BFP, which was miserable but I dealt with it. Soon after that, two nurses I work with got impetigo, which apparently is rare in adults but they got it and were out for several weeks. Today I found a rash and I am convinced I have it, for no other reason than because my coworkers have it and my immune system is shit. I am scared to take any antibiotics they may prescribe, and I'm mad that I have potentially caught something from work (not even from a patient!). I really hope the rash just goes away and does not develop further. It is not open or weeping yet so that's a good sign.
Questions?
@noelietrex - I have been avoiding blue cheese but I don’t know how serious of a rule it is, or why it’s a rule. Maybe just because it’s a soft cheese?
@saraacarpenter - My first appt is the same way. They don’t do an U/S until 11-12 weeks. I am happy to know that in advance though so I don’t go in expecting a huge workup.
