Re: PGAL Check In - week of 8/15
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) I have a horrendous headache and dizziness since yesterday, not sure if it's pregnancy related.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I am so anxious. I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong since yesterday.
5. When is your next appointment? Tomorrow, hopefully it makes me feel better about this anxiety.
7. Anything else on your mind? Nope.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie? They discontinued them, but I loved the Lemon Coolers when they were a thing.

2. how far along are you? EDD?
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
I've been having really bad headaches. Also some growing pains.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
I feel okay this week.
5. When is your next appointment?
Wednesday afternoon and I'm so anxious
My grandma bought me my first two boxes of diapers and a box of wipes. It's starting to feel real.
7. Anything else on your mind?
I am going to have Thai curry for dinner tonight and I couldn't be more excited.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie?
Thin Mints!!!
3. Pregnancy symptoms? Exhaustion--I swear I need to sleep for 10 days straight. Nausea-I gagged at the site of a plum seed, and then I gagged when I saw my child's toys on the floor. Emotional roller coaster-- I can't even believe the things I have cried about.
4. Anxiety? Actually it's turning to "holy crap, this baby is coming out one way or another" anxiety. My misscarriage was at 12 weeks and the cramps and pain were worse than full term labor with my son.
5. Next appointment? I think it's September 8th
6. Rave: the last week and a half the fair has been in town. It is so much fun to be pregnant at the fair with cravings. My favorite thing was super spicy jambalaya. I was literally having dreams about it.
7. I'm going back to school, and I had a paper due this weekend (it's online). The day after I turned it in I got my grade of 100%. That's cool, but I feel like I put so much work into it, and the instructor didn't even hardly read it. This is the first of 16 classes to finish my Bachelor's and I already feel like it's the biggest waste of money.
8. Favorite GS cookie? Actually, I'm a weirdo and don't like any of them.
2. how far along are you? EDD?
12w+6 2/22
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Fuck you insomnia
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Anxiety wise great this week
5. When is your next appointment?
September 22nd for next appt and a/s.
I want to cry when I think about how little sleep I'm getting. I go to be exhausted then just lay there all night. Benadryl does nothing. Tried a unisom last week and sleep awesome but had a hangover the entire following day so I'm scared to take it again.
7. Anything else on your mind?
I don't think I have ever been so anxious to know the sex of a baby. Also I really don't even want to tell people what we're having but if I tell even one person in my family then I might as well tell the world because that's who will know if I tell one. Current score around here is girls-3 boys-0. I just know that no matter what we have (particularly if it's a girl but really both ways) we are going to get shitty and thoughtless comments.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie?
those delicious lemonade ones that they discontinued after this year. All the other ones I like (thin mints and caramel delights/samoas) they sell cheaper knock off versions of at Dollar General and Walmart.
I hope the appointment goes well! I get so anxious before appointments I could puke.

2. how far along are you? EDD? 14 weeks tomorrow February 15 DD
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) pretty good for the most part. Threw up for the second time last night but I think it was because of my cold and not necessarily baby. I was coughing really hard and have the worse gag reflex on the planet I swear.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
everyday there is anxiety, but my home Doppler helps a ton. I got sunburned Sunday so I spent a half hour last night listening to baby.
5. When is your next appointment? Not till sept 1st. I'm so ready for it. It will be the longest I've gone so far without seeing doc/ and getting to see baby.
i can't wait to feel baby do real movements and kicks. Right now I'm in the stage where it kind of feels like movement but I was still having phantom kicks up until I conceived from our loss last July so it's still hard to tell what's real and what are phantoms.
7. Anything else on your mind?
I really miss my little girl who we lost last July and then I start to feel guilty because this little one wouldn't be on their way if we hadn't been through what we did. Do any of you struggle with this?
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie?
i hate coconut and the caramel delights are my favorite. The only time I'll eat coconut is with those cookies.- YUM!
Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016.
Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015.
They will be forever missed.
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Some weird tugs and pulls, nausea if I don't snack a ton, boobs hurt
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Okay...I lifted a backpack into the overhead bin of a plane and felt something pull, and have been worried since then. I feel like the reassurance from my last appointment just fades a little each day.
5. When is your next appointment?
I have my nuchal translucency scan tomorrow, but next OB isn't until Sept. 8
Calling the doctor, and being told to email instead....I mean....if I'm worried about something, I need help same day, not 3-5 business days later.
7. Anything else on your mind?
Found out I'm RH Negative, which I'd never even heard of before.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie? Mmmm, thin mints - stored in the freezer.

Expecting Baby Bean February 2017
Hiiii, I'm CJ from Canada.
2012 MC @ 12w
2. how far along are you? EDD?
12w4d - feb 26!
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Some pulling, weird vagina tingles, occasionall stab which freaks me out, and then deep flutters which I imagine the baby swimming around...
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
much better in last few days, had epic meltdown last week & have said "fuck it" to being held hostage by my fears. The thing that's helped the most is music, I have a few awesome playlists on Spotify and I rock out and dance around with the baby and sing and I feel so much better.
5. When is your next appointment?
US coming up Thursday!! Last US was major meltdown city, but am feeling more prepared now.
ive been on vacation for two weeks so I got no complaints, DH would say I fart too much, but he's just jealous I can out-gas him now. But really, DH is my favourite, he's so patient and constantly checks in.
7. Anything else on your mind?
I am not planning a big FB announcement just yet, want to wait a little longer. But am going to tell my work peeps monday, there are only 7 of us in the studio so hard to hide - plus I want to live in my mat pants! If a MC comes again, they'll need to know as I'll be gone anyway, so would
rather have them on my side.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie?
we have Girl Guides here in Canada and they only have two kinds - mint and then a mix of choc & van. both taste like my childhood so I love them all! What's a Samoa?!
It's chocolate/caramel/coconutty deliciousness!
In my first successful pregnancy, my ob/gyn still wanted to give me the Rhogam injections. I asked why, won't baby be RH neg too? She ended up telling me they still recommend it because sometimes you could be wrong about who baby's father is!!!
Ok, thanks doctor, but this is NOT the case with me!
I'm pretty sure I've posted before but I'm Jaime... This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have a 3 year old son. I had a loss with my last pregnancy that still has me nervous now that we've surpassed the week we had the loss. I had a D&C at almost 8 weeks and the emotional roller coaster after was insane and we were diagnosed with secondary infertility but thank goodness her we are today
2. how far along are you? EDD?
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
I swear I just began to feel her move. Small taps... which is fun. And I have some pretty bad sciatica pain since about week 9, but it's manageable.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Better as each week approaches.
5. When is your next appointment?
Sept 6th.
I can't stop eating late night bowls of cereal
7. Anything else on your mind?
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie? Thin Mint (in the freezer)
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Super tired, Hungry all the time, Bloated.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) Good now that I purchased a heart monitor and it has helped me stay calm/sane
5. When is your next appointment? Next Friday Aug 26th
7. Anything else on your mind? Harmony test is next appointment and just can't wait to know that everything is ok.
8. GTKY: What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? If you don't live in the US and have no clue what a Girl Scout cookie is what's your favorite cookie? Wow the lemonades are my favorite but love them all! And now I want cookies!!
