2. 27 weeks January 9

3. @waterfall213 , I feel you on the peeing all through the night - I haven't slept through night since like 6 weeks! 

My rant though is feeling like my upper abs are being shredded. Hopefully they just stretch out already and it quits hurting soon. 

4. My baby showers are coming up and I can't wait to see my friends and family (I live in a different state now) 

5. Hocus Pocus for sure!

2. 13 weeks today. Hellooooo second trimester! 

3. Well I woke up 12+4 without the overwhelming nausea I've had particularly strongly in weeks 11 and most of 12. It scared me at first but I realized I'm entering that scary period between the start of second trimester and before feeling anything. Fortunately I have my Doppler and heartbeat is chugging away! Rave: announced to coworkers and friends today. Part of me is in a panic because I feel like this baby just has to stick now, and what if it doesn't? But the other part of me is excited to just get it out there so people know how to support and help me. 

4. Feeling kicks and anatomy scan! 

5. Any tips on getting through that period between feeling better and feeling kicks? It looks like a vast ocean of fear ahead and I don't have another appointment for awhile either and won't see baby again until 19 weeks. 

6. Harry Potter? I'm not into Halloween movies but I tend to rewatch Harry Potter around the holidays.

2.  7w1d
3.  R/R/R:  just so much worry and anxiety.  And my DH woke up in the night with food poisoning or a stomach virus...hoping it's something he ate because he was alone with DD all weekend and if she gets it I will too and that on top of MS will not be fun....as soon as I knew he was such I left him a glass of water and the Lysol spray and left for the couch!!
4.  Looking forward to my follow up ultrasound next Wed! Praying baby is measuring closer than 5 days behind to put my mind at ease 
5.  Questions:  for those who were on daily baby aspirin did you have any side effects? 
6.  Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin

@HGRich - I relied a lot in distraction - some sort of hubby that uses my hands and takes focus - I prefer cross stitching or if MS isn't a problem for you cooking a new recipe.

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new): cautiously intro over here. Had a MMC in feb at 9 weeks can a CP the next cycle, took a month off and another CP the cycle back. Tons of testing later and then my second round of clomid with IUI I am back here 

2. How far along are you? EDD? 4w1 6/18/17

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: my RE freaked me out about saying my betas were lower than he likes and seemed to gloss over the fact they doubled in 35 hours. Not everyone is at the same point by a certain day. Maybe I implanted lay. 

4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: third set of betas tomorrow. Will probably breathe easier after that 

5. Questions: none right now 

6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie?

hocus pocus!!! I can't wait until it's on all the time 

Bok Bagok

2. How far along are you? EDD?  15w4d 3/30

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: 

4. Next milestone you are looking forward to:  I have an Amnio this Thursday, so I'm looking forward to the US for that and hopefully see a little heartbeat still going. 

5. Questions: 

6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie? I used to be big into scary movies, but since getting older I'm just not into them anymore. When I was a kid though I loved the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
I've never seen Hocus Pocus - I'll have to give it a try.

@HGRich - the Harry Potter movies are also somehow holiday/Christmas movies for me and my husband

1.  Introduce yourself.  I posted last week on Friday here for the first time.  Also cautiously here (with not much hope). Natural MC in February; got a BFP a week ago, but my betas aren't rising appropriately.

2. How far along are you? EDD? 4w4d, EDD 6/15/17

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Being in limbo is the worst. My betas were low when first tested at 13 DPO (22).  Then, they only raised to 28 or 29 (I honestly don't even remember what the nurse was telling me) by 15 DPO. So, this seems like a CP is imminent.  I'm not bleeding as of today and the cramping I had over the weekend is gone, so I get to hold on to a glimmer of hope, but I'm being so careful as to not get my hopes up.  Repeat beta later this week will tell the story.  

4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: Just knowing whether this is a viable pregnancy or not. 

5. Questions:

6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie? Hocus Pocus!  Are there even others? Haha!

Welcome to the newbies and rooting for those in limbo right now!

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new): not new.

2. How far along are you? EDD? 13 wks. April 17.

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: My mom is visiting and she is being so helpful.  She also surprised me with money to buy myself some new maternity clothing and watched my girls so I could go shop alone. So kind!

4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: feeling movement.

5. Questions:

6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie? Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin.

@1inthehopper, no side effects here from baby aspirin daily.

@HGRich, the Doppler keeps me sane unti I can feel regular movement. And even down the road when I don't feel like I am getting my kick counts in 3rd tri.

I'm happy to see lots of new people over here from TTGPAL since I still lurk there.

@laeberge3, thinking of you this week. Limbo is the absolute worst.

1inthehopper

Thanks @MWoodside

laeberge3

Thanks, @MWoodside. 

Limbo is over, as I started bleeding this morning.  Since I knew this was the likely outcome as of Friday, it's not hitting with such a sting, but it still hurts.  I wish all of you the best with your pregnancies, and I hope to be back over here with you all very soon.

HGRich

I'm so sorry, @laeberge3. I imagine it is a little easier since you expected it but it's still awful. I really am sorry. Please take good care of yourself. We hope to see you again soon too. Will be thinking of and praying for you. 

1inthehopper

So sorry to hear this, @laeberge3. Thinking of you and praying for healing.

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new): Not New

2. How far along are you? EDD? 7wks 5/30/17 (baby was measuring 4 days ahead at last US

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms:

Was so excited to see a HB at the last US and finally breath for the first time in months.  Its starting to finally feel real that I'm pregnant.  And My doc was so sweet when he said "I'm officially noting your chart as pregnant." I love my OB.  My office has 15 docs but the one I normally go to is amazing wish he had his own practice sometimes.

Been feeling beyond sick like my last pregnancy.  Had HG with my son and was hospitalized a few times in 1st tri.  Hoping to stay outta hospital this time.  Was prescribed Phenergan and seems to help.  Never took last time.  Makes me a bit whoozy but ill take at night. My boobs feel like rocks and I think my coworkers are starting to think I have some sort of fetish cause I keep rubbing them!

4. Next milestone you are looking forward to:

can't wait for my next appt on nov 4th.  Will do blood work for cell free DNA testing.  My office does an NT screening for women under 35 and the cell free for over 35.  Little bummed I won't get the ultrasound but happy to know that everything will be looked at. Hopefully if they can hear HB on Doppler and appt goes well I can finally announce my pregnancy and not have to hide it anymore!

5. Questions:

6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie?

I am so sorry for your loss @larberge3

schnitz9

@laeberge3 so sorry for you loss.  Hoping to see you on a new BMB very soon....

MelD17011

1. Introduce yourself (if you're new): have struggled with infertility. Got pregnant this past spring but ended up being ectopic. Had a second FET in Sept. Currently 6weeks today. Had strong betas (1750 at 5dp5dt). Had an early ultrasound this week (5 weeks 4 days) where they say a yolk sac and heart beat.

2. How far along are you? EDD? 6 weeks 6/8/16
3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: the exhaustion everyone talks about finally hit me this week. not fun!
4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: have another ultrasound on Monday
5. Questions: Does the worrying ever stop??? I’m not sure how many doctor’s appointments it will take to feel better!
6. GTKY: What is your favorite Halloween movie? I’ve never even seen Hocus Pocus! I guess I need to do that - ha

MWoodside

@laeberge3, I am so sorry for your loss.

@MelD17011, I felt less anxiety/worry when I could feel movement regularly with my first rainbow baby. A Doppler helped before that. But I couldn't really breathe deeply until bsby was safe in my arms. 

1inthehopper

@MelD17011 my last pregnancy was ectopic too. I'm sorry for your loss. It has caused this pregnancy (I'm 7w4d) to be full of so much worry and stress so I've wondered that too- does it get better or am I going to be like this until our baby is in my arms?! I sure hope not because it doesn't seem fair to our DD.  DH and I were just talking about how blissfully ignorant we were when I was pregnant with DD 5 years ago- no betas, no early ultrasounds, no knowing my progesterone was low....we went to dr for first time at 8.5 weeks saw heartbeat and then announced to the world.  Now I'm riddled with worry.  I really feel like this board helps though- I can vent about my worries to people who understand and I don't feel judged. We'll get through it! 

queenklau

@laeberge3, I am so sorry for your loss.

1. Not new but haven't checked in a while. Had two mmc back to back in 2015 around 10 weeks each. I am now pregnant with my rainbow!

2. 32w2d, EDD 12/6/2016

3. Rant: feeling very large and stretched out, having a hard time moving around, but overall excited to be so close to see my baby girl. 
Rave: I saw baby girl today at my last scan! Looking good and measuring 4.5lbs!

4. Next milestone-full term and meeting this little girl!

5. @MelD17011, the worrying does not stop, but it gets less and less the longer you go in he pregnancy. I still worry sometimes, but you learn to enjoy the pregnancy and be happy most of the time. 

6. I agree that Harry Potter for me is a go to for the holidays
