Do you know the gender(s)? Boy
How old are you? 39
Any other children? 3 ages 17,15,and 9 and a half months
How are you feeling? Morning well all day sickness is finally letting up but still very exhausted
Questions/rants/raves? Still adjusting to being pregnant again but im already in love with my little guy even tho he wasnt planned and i had my tubes tied only to find out i was pregnant when they did the procedure! Some things are meant to be and my bf is over the moon happy about having another little boy!
Upcomming appointments? Anatomy scan on Feb 1 so excited to see my little guy!
how far along are you? 6w 0d
Singleton, twins or more? Singleton according to my first scan a couple days ago
do you know the gender(s)? Nope
How old old are you? 44
Any other children? Nope
How are you feeling? Nauseous and exhausted. Like, I could win an Olympic gold medal in exhaustion.
Questions/rants/raves? I'm barely getting anything done I'm so queasy and tired all the time, but I'm also happy and excited (which is also distracting me). I'm not a very useful member of society at the moment.
Upcoming appointments? Feb 10 (It'll be my second scan at 7w 6d, and I will be getting all other fun tests, like my pap and pelvic exam, that I didn't get at my 5w 5d appt)
How far along are you?: 11wks 4d
Singleton
Do you know the gender?: Not yet! Soon, just did genetic testing a few days ago!
How old are you?: 39 (a few weeks away from 40 after EDD)
Any other children?: Yes DD 19, DS 17, DD 13, DD 9.
How are you feeling?: Tired, but getting some spurts of energy back. The nausea and vomiting were awful up until just a few days ago. Still taking diclegis, but only at night.
Questions/rants/raves: Just patiently awaiting genetic test results at this point. I'm keeping busy in the meantime.
Upcoming Appointments?: Monday February 6th, I meet my midwife (I literally missed my first appt by sleeping through it!)
That same day I meet with a nutritionist to come up with a diet plan for me. I have a tendency to gain 70lbs per pregnancy, which I lose afterward, but it's concerning and I'm worried about gestational diabetes.
how far along are you? 25wk 5days
Singleton, twins or more? Singleton
do you know the gender(s)? Girl!!
How old old are you? 38
Any other children? One, boy-2yrs
How are you feeling? HUGE! People keep telling me I look great but I feel like I'm 8months! I'm still wondering if there is a mother one hiding in there!
Questions/rants/raves? I'm still getting sick/nauseous in the mornings. Dr put me on vitamin B/antihistamine and it's making me super groggy and I feel like I'm extra moody cuz I'm so out of it for a chunk of the day and I still feel crappy in the morning. Going to dr tomorrow so hopefully they will try something else. Almost 26 weeks-shouldn't still be having this! 2nd trimester is supposed to be the best trimester!
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow- just a prenatal appt.
It sounds like you're already taking the equivalent of diclegis, I hope you get some new solutions at your appt tomorrow. Good luck!
