Re: PGAL Check In 10/5/16
Hey! I'm Katie. I have a 3 year old and have been married for almost 6 years. Before my daughter, I had an early m/c. I didn't realize how much it would impact my pregnancies. I'm a bit anxious anyway, but I'm so so nervous in pregnancy. I'm sure you can all relate!
2. How far along are you? 8 weeks
3. What is the next milestone you're looking forward to?
Looking forward to my next appt on the 17th.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: none
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it?
I can't even remember! That's how long it's been!

BFP 9/9/16 EDD 5/19/17
How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? I'm getting my blood drawn for the DNA test tomorrow.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Can I just say that last night's loss post sent me to a really bad place? My symptoms have slowly been disappearing over the last few days and I keep trying to reassure myself by thinking that I am at 10 weeks and this is normal as we get closer to the end of 1st tri (also that every pregnancy is different) but honestly, I'm not really buying it, particularly because I had nausea up until 13-14 weeks with DS and all through pregnancy with DD. Not only that but my fatigue seems to have lifted, as well as my constipation, and headaches, and breast tenderness, leaving me feeling barely pregnant. Where a week ago I felt a little like the walking dead, I barely feel pregnant right now. My biggest fear is that I will get a call telling me that my baby was already dead when they took the blood for the DNA test. I just wish I could get an u/s right now.
GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? We took DS to his first movie in July to see Finding Dory. He and DH loved it. I thought it was good but not as good as Finding Nemo.

2. How far along are you? 8wk3d
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? I'm doing pretty good this week. We had another ultrasound on Monday and saw good growth and a good heartbeat, so that helped me to feel more positive for now. I keep thinking if I can get past this week (my loss was at 8wk4d) I will feel less anxious. But we'll see.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: None this week.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? Tarzan just bc it happened to be the only thing playing when DH and I had a date night. It was entertaining.
1. Introduce yourself if you haven't yet.
I've put a little information out there but not a lot. I have one amazing living child who is 10. I've had 3 miscarriages (14, 16, & 19 weeks) and 2 stillbirths (20 weeks & 24 weeks).
2. How far along are you? I believe I am 6+2. Still waiting to hear a for sure from the MFM.
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? My first MFM appointment Friday, 10/7.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm having a hard time emotionally. I find myself not really wanting to wish or dream of the baby because I am fear the inevitable. I am trying to remain positive.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it?
Swiss Army Man with Daniel Radcliffe. It was odd and hilarious!! We are going to see The Girl on the Train this weekend. I read the book a while ago so I cannot wait.

2. How far along are you? 10 weeks 2 days
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? I'm ok. Have another appointment on the 18th at 12 weeks. Hoping if that one goes well, I'll have a little more peace about everything.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Echoing vrj above, nausea is basically completely gone, energy seems to be coming back some. Just had a u/s last week to check on some bleeding, which turned out to be from a SCH healing that we already knew about, but still scary. Just trying to remind myself that just 5 days ago we saw baby wiggling like crazy with a strong heartbeat and growing on track, but it's hard not to second guess everything.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? Last saw the new Bourne movie. I enjoyed it!
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to?: I had a great appointment on Monday so things are going well! I really wanted to get past the 8 week mark and both the ultrasound and my bloodwork look great.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm not feeling well at all. Permanent nausea and incredibly tired. It's been really hard to get my house in order to sell feeling this way.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it?: Believe it or not, I actually don't remember the last time I saw a movie in the theater! It was probably before DD was born. How said is that?! I used to go all the time!

BFP #3 8/31/16 EDD 5/12/17 It's a GIRL!
I'm doing okay, but starting to get a little anxious since my 8wk ultrasound appointment is tomorrow. All I hope for is to see good growth and a strong heartbeat. I'm feeling more pregnant lately which I only hope is a good thing ha aside from the discomfort. My rant is I'm dealing with food adversion this time. Absolutely nothing appeal to me so I have to force myself to eat a little at a time.
The last time I saw a movie in theater was me before you. We visited my parents over the summer so we went out for a late movie after DD went to bed. I think it was the first movie I saw since she was born!
I was doing fine... but now I'm super anxious. I'm worried that somethings going wrong again and we won't know until our 2nd ultrasound next week. My husband wants to tell his family this weekend when we visit in CT. I want to share it with them (we're having twins) and love that we would get to do it in person, but i'm so worried that something will go wrong. I don't even want to go on the trip bc what if something happens while we're gone. UGHHH I wish I could be oblivious and just be excited. I'm so freaked out I called my nurse and asked if I could do the u/s tmw instead of next week so that I could see them again before the trip. She was really sweet about it and is seeing what she can do but I know I sound crazy. I wish my husband and his family would chill.

7w4d today
How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to?
I'm doing okay. Been having a bit of nausea lately. I just got my first u/s yesterday and I measured about 5 days behind. I'm trying to not be worried since I have no idea when I o'd and there was a strong heartbeat but everything causes me worry
What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it?
We just watched our like 2nd or 3rd movie since DS was born - Magnificent Seven. I really liked (most of) it!
@Jkp7749 - I feel the same way. We are going to a family wedding this weekend and I want to share things with them, especially thinking that my mom might already have since she's known for a few weeks, but I'm so worried about something going wrong that I don't know how to deal with it! I really hope they can get you in early!

2. How far along are you? 9w6d
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? My next appointment on the 18th. the closer is gets the more anxious I get due to my MMC last time.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Last night's post got to me too. I remember in my last BMB I kept seeing all the early losses and felling so sorry for them and so thankful that I had already seen a HB. Then I had the MMC. So now all those feelings came creeping back in because it seemed like there was a small break in the losses. I just want all these babies to stick.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? The first one that came to mind was the Revenant and I had a horrible experience. The one time I followed directions and turned off my phone, my mom and sister were trying to get in tough with me because DS2 fell and was crying more than usual. After the movie ended (1 hours after the initial calls) we took him to the ER and he had a broken leg. I felt so horrible and now I associate that movie with a bad mom moment on my part.
Then I remembered we took the boys to see Finding Dory and they liked the movie.

7 weeks 4 days
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to?
Last week we found out at the RE's office that we are having twins!! They both had good heart rates. I was so caught off guard, because I was so obsessed with whether or not there would be a heart beat that I didn't even consider twins. & my RE released me to my OB. I have my first appointment next week.
So far, I have only told my mom. So, the next milestone will be telling other close family members and our closest friends. I am terrified to do that before seeing or hearing the babies one more time, for reassurance, but I might just suck it up and tell them since I don't know when I would get another u/s. The next one might be around 18 weeks? I really don't know what to expect.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
First trimester is so hard, because you don't really have any indication that everything is going okay. I like once you can start feeling movement. It is so reassuring.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it?
Finding Dory with my toddler. It was cute!
The last movie I saw was Bad Moms. It was very funny, but I feel like it was funny for all the typical "momming is hard" reasons. It was definitely relatable and spot-on though. Maybe I'm being such a critic because I never get to go to movies anymore.

Had an ultrasound yesterday since my brown spotting continues - and we saw the heartbeat! 123
I almost threw up last night, my first serious nausea. Yay?
Last movie was Dead Pool at the Jordan's Furniture imax, if anyone knows what that is.

2. How far along are you? 7+5
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? Tomorrows appointment
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: morning sickness has went away the last few days and I've been super crampy so that just gives my mind something to race about, but I'm still exhausted so I'm counting that as a positive
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? I have no idea to be honest, it's been a while.
1/7/2015 Twins born @ 34 weeks
2. How far along are you? 9 weeks
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? I'm doing fine. Nausea isn't as bad today as it was yesterday and earlier this week. I'm hoping that its attributable to eating better than anything else. I'm looking forward to hearing the babe's heartbeat.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm also very saddened by all of the loss posts. While I'd like to stay positive, it's a constant reminder that so much has to go right to have a healthy baby, and most of it is out of anyone's control. I'm grateful to have made it this far, and at least for me, it helps to be cautiously optimistic.
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? I saw the Woody Allen flick Cafe Society. It was good!
I'm 7w3d today and I'm looking forward to my appointment on Monday. I will be 8 weeks and I'm just waiting to hear good news. My last baby stopped growing at 9 weeks and I found out at 11 weeks. So, I kind of wish my appointment was at week 10 because I would feel better if I knew I made it past week 9 weeks. Despite everything that happened last time, I'm feeling hopeful that II will make it this time.
On another note, the last movie I saw at the theater was The Conjuring 2 and we rarely go to the movies now because movies just aren't that good anymore. We just wait for everything to come out on Redbox.
2. How far along are you? 7w
3. How are you doing? What is the next milestone you're looking forward to? I'm mostly ok, PGAL mind kicks my ass, last night I felt dripping and panicked but it was semen from the sex we'd had earlier. I have an appt on the 18th and I hope the MFM will give me an u/s so I can see the heartbeat.
4. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just he usual stuff, that babe stays put. Otherwise nothing much right now
5. GTKY: What was the last movie you saw at the movie theater? What did you think of it? We saw the new Blair Witch, I actually really liked it for the most part.

I'm doing much better after my doctor appointment yesterday! Had my third ultrasound and was finally able to see a baby and the heartbeat
Next milestone is keeping our little blob in place and it continuing to grow and be healthy! I'm excited to get to the point where we can announce on social media.
I don't know if this is a rant, but my morning (more like all day) sickness has hit full force. I've felt awful for almost a week now and can barely keep anything down. My doctor gave me meds yesterday and I'm feeling a tiny tad better. Crackers, soup, and ginger ale for the foreseeable future!
Wow last movie I saw..... maybe the pets movie?? I think that's it. I'm excited to see girl on the train since I've read the book!

I'm a 24 year old student, and I live with my fiancé and our 16 month old son in Denmark. Not much else to add really, is that sad?
2. 7w4d
3. This terrible all day nausea is slowly killing me, along with some serious fatique and food aversions. The first trimester was not this bad the last time around.
Other than looking forward to this nausea subsiding, I'm just looking forward to the first ultrasound. I've almost managed to convince my fiance that we can't wait until week 12 (that's normally the first us you get here) and that we have to splurge on an early one at a private clinic.
4. Rant! My fiancé has a cold, so now he's lying in bed while I have to do everything. I just wanted to rest this weekend, not deal with the man flu on top of everything else.
5. I can't remember the last time I went to the movies.
