For those unfamiliar, your ticker change day is whatever day of the week that you start a new week in your pregnancy. For example, If you are 5+0 weeks today, then Mondays are your ticker change days. You will only check in on Monday's threads.

Any new symptoms or changes? 

I feel great! Mild cramping but it’s not painful. My hair is definitely greasier than normal and I noticed my hands started hurting last night. Is that a common symptom for this early?

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

Would you switch OB’s/midwives if you didn’t like the hospital they delivered at? I live close to 2 major medical centers. They are both great hospitals, but I know a few of the nurses and doctors at one and know that I’d get special treatment there. But it’s not the hospital my midwife is associated with. I will be asking at my first appointment if it’s possible to keep my midwife and deliver at the preferred hospital. The midwife has been my gynecologist for years, so I am leaning towards staying with her either way.

GTKY: Do you have any pets?

We would LOVE to get a dog but we can’t in our apartment. For now, we have some pretty fish.
