Re: PGAL check-in 3/28
-17 weeks today and the size of a gaming controller.
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
-Overall, I feel okay. I still have rough days but typically they are tolerable. I did end up in the ER last night though. I was so scared. I was cramping so bad I couldn't walk or talk through it. We went in and they couldn't find heartbeat on the Doppler so that was a rough 15mins. They got out the ultrasound machine and found the baby right away. It was flipping around and moving like crazy with a perfect heartbeat. We did not find cause for the pain so they sent home with strict bedrest orders until I can get in to see my OB, hopefully today.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
-My anatomy scan is next Wednesday!!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
-It was a very peaceful and relaxing time with all of our extended family. With the exception of the ER visit, it was a perfect weekend.
How are are you feeling physically and mentally? Better in both respects, actually. I think hearing the heartbeat last week really helped and talking to my doctor calmed me down quite a bit.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? I'm really looking forward to feeling baby move.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? It was really nice but hectic. I have a big family and it was non-stop all weekend, especially Easter morning. Good and fun and awesome, just go-go-go. I feel like I need an extra day just to recover from this weekend!
How are you feeling physically and mentally? I was on a roll, but in the middle of the night I woke with a migraine. It's nearly gone, but the nausea is bad. I've currently got my Sea Bands on, chewing ginger gum, trying my hardest not to throw up. Mentally I'm doing pretty good. I am having some scary dreams that make me feel uneasy. I have to remind myself that they are just dreams.
Next appt or milestone? 20 weeks which is also my next appt and the anatomy scan...April 19th can't come soon enough!
GTKY: How was your Easter weekend? Busy, but good. Saturday we went to my husband's brother's house to celebrate. We told them all that a 10th grandchild is on the way. They were shocked and super excited. Yesterday, we did an egg hunt and baskets with our girls. Then went to dinner at my parent's house. My daughter spilled the beans to my aunt, uncle and Gram that she's going to be a "biggest sister" (apparently when you are already a big sister, that's what comes next...ha!). It was cute.
Hope all of you had good weekends!
---------------
And I didn't even make it through this post without throwing up...ugh! Hopefully that's it for today.
I feel a tiny bit better this morning but if I get up and try walking around the cramping comes back. I'm staying in bed until I hear from dr. Apparently, she is booked today but the nurse was going to talk with her and try to squeeze me in.
15 weeks today! Size of a navel orange or a multi-tool.
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically I'm doing good, mentally I'm a little down, not pregnancy related though, my father has cancer and just found out the therapy he's been on for the past few months isn't working, they'll be switching him to a new drug but it'll take a while to get it since it has just been approved by the FDA.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
Next week is my 16 week appointment. Hoping to maybe get an US and find out the sex.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? It was good, just a quiet weekend at home.

15 weeks - size of navel orange. When I went shopping this weekend, I saw navel oranges EVERYWHERE and it made me super excited!
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Better this week. Much more positive!
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
Next appointment is a week from tomorrow.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
Easter weekend was great - just busy! I could definitely have used today to sleep all day. We also announced oru pregnancy last night on Facebook. It was a little nerve wracking and I was going back and forth about doing it, but I thought it would be nice to celebrate how far we've come so far. I'm glad we did it. I feel good now that more people know.
Adopted our rescue fur baby 11/30/14
BFP 8/28/15, EDD 5/9/16, MMC 10/6/15, D&C 10/8/15
BFP 1/6/16, EDD 9/16/16
How many weeks? size of baby? 16w3d - size of avocado
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically - headaches randomly. Random twinges from my bladder and side of my hips (guessing round ligament or adhesions from endo surgery for the hip n back stuff). Debating bringing up the bladder thing next appointment but it's not constant or painful, just noticeable. Weird.
Mentally - Most of the time I'm okay but sometimes I just linger and start to get anxious and worry about myself and the baby's health. No real triggers, something I read or think about and there I go online or obsessing. I'm upping my visits to see my counselor and hoping for some guidance to stop the snowballs.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too? Next apt 4/11 and anatomy scan 4/22 - debating back n forth with DH about staying team green or just finding out now. Surprise now or later; if we do it now it will be on our terms and our daughter (who is going with us for scan) will be the first to know and that's our main goal.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? Easter turned from a simple lunch at my parents house to that side of the family showing up with their kids and aunt/uncle. It was okay but got so much better once everyone left and we got to just chill and have some quite time like I had hoped. Plus we all took a short ride and found a snowcone vendor open
16 weeks on the dot - avocado sized
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
I'm great lately! Physical symptoms are mostly gone, except I'm now getting what I assume is RLP. Mentally, I feel really good, too. Got to hear some baby kicks on the Doppler last week. Definitely starting to relax a bit.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to?
Ultrasound will be in 4 weeks. Like @Tippy05, I can't wait to feel my LO moving around!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
We did a dinner with some family friends last night, but Easter was really just an excuse to invite them. It's also the start of my spring break, and I announced on FB. Overall, really nice weekend!
14 weeks today, finally! Hooray 2nd trimester!
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
-14 weeks feels like such a big step! I listened to his heartbeat on the doppler today and I feel a lot better having that reassurance.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
-Next appointment will be 16 weeks 2 days, after that I'm looking forward to movement and the 20 week scan!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
-We had a pretty relaxed Easter! My in-laws left town on Saturday but we had breakfast with them before they left and we ordered Hawaiian pizza last night for dinner haha. I'm hoping to stop eating so much candy and junk food now that I'm in the second trimester, I kind of gave myself a first trimester pass and I really don't want to gain too quickly thanks to my insatiable appetite for sweets lately!
How are are you feeling physically and mentally? To be honest, I'm plain scared. We found out we're having a girl and now I feel like it's getting more and more real and I'm getting more and more attached. I'm afraid of something bad happening because I don't know that I could take it. Now I'm scared of spontaneously going into labor and losing baby after we are already taking this as a given. The more attached I get, the scarier it is! My PGAL brain is in full throttle. At the elective scan, baby had the placenta against her face and the tech said it was a normal uterine contraction and I just keep thinking about that and minding every ache or pull or tightening sensation. Ugh!
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too? A/S on 4/21, can't wait to see baby again and make sure she's okay and everything is going as it should be.
Gtky: weekend was good. We finished our registry on saturday and went to church and out for a drive yesterday (we don't live in the fifties, it's just everything was closed yesterday for Easter).
How many weeks? size of baby? 15w 2d; Size of an orange
How are are you feeling physically and mentally? Fairly tired but good overall
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too? Next appointment isn't until April 20, which will be the anatomy scan, I can't wait!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? My Easter weekend was great. We did not have an Easter dinner with my mom's family since my grandma has been in the hospital, but we went to a birthday party for my cousin on Saturday and announced to my mom's side of the family there. Then on Sunday we had lunch/dinner with my dad's family and dinner with DH's family and announced to all of them as well. Everyone seemed very happy and excited for us, even after my sister's announcement. I was very happy with the way everything went.
Here is a picture of DS on Easter:
BFP #1 5/5/13 MC confirmed 5/9/13
BFP #5 5/16/18 EDD 1/29/19
17 weeks 4 days
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Good, just still really tired.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
I will have my anatomy scan on April 21st. I was supposed to have it in two days and I am sad I will have to wait that long to know if I have a girl or boy (I am really curious). I feel like everyone around me has an anatomy scan at like 18-19 weeks and I am the only one who wait that long (I will be 21 weeks).
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
It was nice, we spent the day at my in laws. I made a new recipe: a coconut and lemon cake, it was delicious.
PCOS, Hypothyroidism.
Miscarriage at 8 weeks
First saw
It's a boy!
How are are you feeling physically and mentally? Great! I am getting out of breath really easily and I feel like I am way too big, but I am less tired and not sick at all. I am having some RLP but nothing that has really scared me too much yet. I do occasionally have the irrational thought that the more people that find out I am pregnant the higher the chance that something terrible is going to happen, but I recognize it's not rational, at least. Hang in there, @AlwaysAuntNeverMom , your mind is just playing mean tricks on you.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? My 16 week checkup is tomorrow, I am not really sure what that entails. Anatomy scan two weeks after that, way more exciting! I love to see the baby swimming around
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? We did not do much for Easter per se other than use it as an excuse to eat candy. It was a relaxing weekend overall except I did work for a lot of it. Can't do much about my job, though. @Spindlek I too keep thinking I will stop mainlining pizza and junk food now... any time now... any... time........
17 + 2. They're the size of onions!
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Mentally, I'm doing really well, aside from the nightmares I have almost every night. They're nothing baby-related, but seem to mainly be focused on violence and my husband cheating on me (which is a ridiculous idea IRL and I have absolutely no reason whatsoever to think it's true or even worry about it).
Physically, I'm doing really well. Right at the moment, I'm dealing with swollen fingers (can't get my rings on) and hip pain when I try to sleep, but I've had a very easy pregnancy for the most part.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
Looking forward to my anatomy scan, once I find out when it's going to be. It's upsetting me a little seeing other people due at the same time or before me who have theirs scheduled and not knowing when mine will be. I want to make sure my babies are developing well and to find out the sexes for sure! We had a sex guess at 14 weeks and change, but I'm starting to doubt the accuracy of it, especially since she couldn't get a good view of Baby B.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
It was fine. Low key dinner at MIL's house with a friend and his mom. Nothing big. Easter's mainly just another Sunday to me.

How many weeks? size of baby? 13.3 weeks and ironically today I feel like a ran a half marathon (yet I've hardly done more then a couple laps around the couch), plum
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically I feel exhasted and I'm fighting a headache, but I had some great human-like days last week so hopefully more are in my future. Mentally I'm still holding my breath. DH is ready to embrace this pregnancy but I'm still so scared to have that excitement stollen from me.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
4/5!! 7 days, 17 hours, and 15 minuets away. I need that appointment to feel better about making it safely into my second trimester. If all is well we will get an elective ultra sound soon after to find out the sex!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? It was good! We hosted a brunch with both our immediate families and my DS participated in his first (well most successful) egg hunt! However, the night ended with DH and I in a fight because I was upset that he'd rather watch tv then talk to me. Maybe it was my crazy pregnancy hormones but I still think he was being insensitive and I'm sticking to it.

How are are you feeling physically and mentally? Mentally doing ikay right now. Physically I have been battling migraines for the past 3 days.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too? Next appointment is on 4/18.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? We had a low key weekend just DH and I. We did announce publicly yesterday and it feels good not keeping the secret anymore
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
I'm 16 weeks. Size of an avocado.
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
I'm lonely and mad at my husband. I can't shake this crappy mood.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
I'm looking forward to the ultrasound in four weeks.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
I I had a fun Easter. Didn't do anything but give Lo an Easter basket but she liked it.
I got got reffered to urologist and appt is this Thursday.
16w5d, size of an avocado, 4.6 inches
How are are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically, I'm feeling pretty good. Mentally, I'm hanging in there...I am still so worried about having a silent miscarriage because I last heard the baby's heartbeat 4 weeks ago. Also doesn't help that I've read several stories of people who have had silent miscarriages around 16 weeks or later...I ordered a fetal doppler and am anxiously waiting for it to arrive tomorrow (Wednesday).
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too?
My next appointment is this Thursday and I am so anxious to know that the baby is doing fine and there are no problems. I believe that the next appointment after that would be the anatomy scan so I'm hoping I will get there!
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general?
Easter weekend was great...got to see some family the day before Easter but spent Easter with my husband. I am a teacher and have been on Spring Break as of this past Friday so it has been nice to get more rest.

How are are you feeling physically and mentally? Physically, I haven't felt better in a long time. Mentally, I'm starting to really worry and stress. I have a lot going on this week that's not baby related. Plus, I found out I lost my last baby at 16 weeks and I would really like to be able to hear the heartbeat to know everything is ok this time around. My next appointment isn't for another 2 weeks and I'm starting to really worry even though everything looks good this pregnancy. I would just like confirmation everything's ok. Once I get that I feel like I will be able to breathe a little easier.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward too? My next appointment with my midwife is in 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to that and to booking the anatomy scan then.
Gtky: How was your Easter weekend and festivities? If you do not celebrate Easter, how was your weekend in general? I don't celebrate Easter. My weekend was good because it was a long weekend and I had a lot of time to relax. It was also emotional because I told my friends and they didn't act excited like they did last time. I feel like they are afraid to celebrate because they all know I have suffered a miscarriage (most don't know I've had 3). Their lack of enthusiasm hurt my feelings.

@abberson Thank you for the understanding. I'm lucky that my mom has been amazing at listening and supporting me through the entire situation although she's never been in my shoes. My MIL on the other hand (who has had a loss) has been a "treat." Thankfully she lives far away and I've been able to avoid talking to her on the phone too much. DH handles his family well. I'm excited we're both pregnant and hopefully we both get some reassurance soon!
