    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

    Currently just tired. Thankful every day that I dint have morning sickness! 

    Rant/Rave/Questions?

    Just tired of the VA. If they continue being difficult I may give up and have this baby in the woods. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    Buying ALL the baby things.  I am super excited about this baby but just the baby...not all the stuff. Going to keep it minimal this time around.  
    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? 

    We went to the DR for our honeymoon but my favorite place to vacation is Cabo.

  • How far along are you? 4 weeks

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    Fatigue, tummy issues, lower back pains. Fatigue is same from first time around. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions? So hard not telling anyone. We've been TTC for the past 15 months so just want to scream it from the rooftops!

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Nothing really. We had a 1 br apartment in Manhattan, so no nursery to worry about.  

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? Las Vegas, Hawaii and Napa for honeymoon. After this baby I am ready to go back to Napa! We only spent one day there, so I want to go back for a longer visit.

  • How far along are you? 7 + 1

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? New this round, cold chills, smell aversions. Repeat, sore boobs that now have to suffer through nursing, queasiness all the time, exhaustion. Water already is scary/risky. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions? It's a stupid/silly complaint since I know that we're lucky to have a birth center we can go to, but they just aren't the same as the one we had in CO. And more than double the price. Really sucks. It also makes me a little sad to have this LO in CA. I really wish it was another CO baby or a WA baby. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Nothing comes to mind as silly, pretty much anything I didn't have finished I either still wished I had gotten done. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? We went to Zihuatanejo, Mexico, for our honeymoon. But our trip to Whistler, British Columbia, is probably my favorite place we've vacationed.

    7w 4d

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

    I am very nauseous and have been extremely fatigued with a headache thrown in every other day. I had a very smooth first pregnancy so this is definitely different for me.  

    Rant/Rave/Questions?

    I am just currently emotionally overwhelmed and feel like I am in a rut. So much needs to get done around the house that only gets done if I do it and I've been feeling so ill that I haven't accomplished much in a while on top of working full time, pursuing my bachelor's degree and taking care of my 8 year old. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    I wasn't worried at all the first time around. I had a very nonchalant attitude. This time I am a lot more nervous and feel like I have a million more things to do. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? 

    Living in Guam was like a vacation for me. Great food, beautiful scenery. Other than that I truly enjoyed new Smyrna beach in Florida. Simply because it was associated with great memories with my SO. 

  • How far along are you?
    5 weeks, 2 days

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    Nausea kicked in today, I was throwing up everything I ate/drank. Last time I had nausea and fatigue, but never threw up. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    Just got my blood work results back; normal HCG but low progesterone. I was prescribed a supplement until 12 weeks, and am going in next Wednesday for an ultrasound. I forgot to ask the nurse what my levels were on the phone, seriously stressing now. Anyone had this before/now?

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
    Having all the "stuff". We never used the changing table, swing, Bumbo, etc. keeping it minimal this time. I grew up as the oldest of 7, then nannied for a few years, so I was pretty laid back in my parenting style front the start. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    No honeymoon, got engaged then found out I was pregnant with my DD a month later. I did spend a year in New Zealand working as a nanny, and would love to go back. It's a beautiful country, I almost wanted to stay.
  • How far along are you? 7 weeks

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Totally turned off by food and really tired. Not too different but then I didn't have to prepare food every two to three hours for two kids. Last time I was pregnant my first was eating baby food which made me nauseous but not as bad as now.

    Rant/Rave/Questions? My almost two year old keeps waking up at 3:30/4am and it's torture!

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Hmm, I was pretty last minute and basic with things. Nothing really.

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? We went to the Poconos. I like driving to vacation.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

    So incredibly bloated. I'm bloated to the point of pain, almost. And also I'm exhausted. I don't remember being this tired with my first. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions?

    Im currently watching my DH do the house hold laundry while I bump and drink coffee. Amazing. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    Maybe getting the crib before I turned 30 weeks, but in my defence it I wanted the entire room to be finished and my SIL was getting us the crib and putting it off. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?

    Im such a hermit, we never got a honeymoon because we got pregnant too fast. But I have enjoyed a road trip out west to Alberta. So gorgeous.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

    So far no MS but that usually doesn't hit me until 6 weeks. I am feeling like my hemorrhoids from my last pregnancy are bothering me again. I really hope that doesn't get super bad. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions?

    I'm having some anxiety today. Not sure what it's about but I'm ready to be done with it and feeling calm. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    I stressed about having the nursery just perfect and with my last, he didn't even have one. Now, I have everything I could possibly need so I have no reason to stress. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? 

    Hawaii for both answers. It's so beautiful there.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
     With DS, I had bad nausea and a little fatigue.  This time I'm so exhausted all day, with the added bonus of starving all the time plus random nausea.  I just don't understand being nauseous and starving at the same time!  I'm gagging again at strong smells and brushing my teeth.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    DH has been amazing.  He's taken over all the poopy diapers, bc I gag when I smell them.  I'm trying so hard, but keeping up with a 14m toddler has been difficult with this much fatigue.

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
    I'm not sure that it was silly, but a name.  We literally didn't have one until about a week before DS was born, and that's only bc I had Braxton's so bad that we thought it was real labor.

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    We went to Vail, CO at the end of June.  We're planning a trip back for our 10 year anniversary in a couple years.  It was just so beautiful, and I immediately fell in love with the mountains there.  I want to live there some day.

    Pretty much the same but the exhaustion this time around is unreal. I feel perma-hungover which is brutal.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    Rant: my milk has dried up and my 21month old is not having it. He cannot go to sleep on his own and has never settled on a comfort object (besides milkies) so he's been miserable. My little velcro baby is just having such a hard time

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    Got engaged on a cruise in December and celebrated a little too much and that's where we got pregnant. We only went on the cruise for his sisters wedding and think we had more fun than they did. We were already thinking of booking one for November 2017 until we found out we were expecting. We took a Carnival cruise to Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Cozumel. We had the best time of our lives. If you ever do a cruise I suggest upgrading to a balcony room!

  • @Carebella At least you have a good place to birth.  The hospital here has double rooms and no birthing tubs...  If there were anywhere else I could go I would but the closest city is 1.5 hours away and I had a fast labor with DD1. 
    @ColoradoHiker We have the same poop problem here.  DD is potty trained by DH has to do the wiping because I gag. 

    How far along are you? 6+1

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Tired, aversions.  I think I'm feeling pretty similar to preg #1

    Rant/Rave/Questions? Have you ladies told your kids yet?  My parents spilled the beans to DD so now the world is finding out.  We are not upset but kinda wished she didn't know until we were farther along. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? I wanted to crochet all the things.  She has blankets, hats, outfits for newborn pics, etc.  She probably didn't need all of that. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?  We went to the DR on our honeymoon but we delayed the honeymoon and got pregnant 1 month after our wedding so I was 10 weeks while we were there.  It was fun but we decided to "rehoneymoon" this past Sept and went on a cruise to Bermuda which was amazing!

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?

    Nausea, but not as bad as my previous 2 PGs. Extreme tiredness like the others. I've noticed the heart palpitations with this PG.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?

    Wish my husband would be more sympathetic to my PG self when I'm not up for anything lol

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    Nothing really. I'm a planner so I'll probably be just as crazy lol

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?

    We went to Jamaica for our honeymoon! It was the only place my H and I have gone to together (besides our annual beach trip and a handful of long weekends in nearby cities)

    I like all of the islands I've gone to, I'll vacation anywhere. Would've loved to have traveled more but my H has no desire so we had kids. Hoping to when we're older.

    rant: my parents neighbors dog pissed me off this morning. It freaking barks all the dang time!! And like a I would eat you bark, not an annoying bark. It's nails on a chalk board to me and we have 3 dogs! 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Hmm...finishing the nursery? Because he slept in our room for a year ha. 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    we honeymooned in Sorrento and Rome, Italy. We talk about going back to the amalfi coast all the time. 
    One of my favorite vacations was when we went to Moab, Utah this fall and stayed at a beautiful ranch that was kid friendly *score*.  We went to the Arches national park. It was beautiful and I've traveled all over!

    Just got my blood work results back; normal HCG but low progesterone. I was prescribed a supplement until 12 weeks, and am going in next Wednesday for an ultrasound. I forgot to ask the nurse what my levels were on the phone, seriously stressing now. Anyone had this before/now?
    There are a few threads mentioning this is you want some others input. For me, this PG and my 2nd, I had both normal HCG and low progesterone. For this one, at 4 1/2 weeks my prog was 9.9 and they just said my HCG was normal. Started crinone (prog supplement). Blood test at 6w and my prog went up to 21.2 and my HCG was 79,000.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    As you may have seen in another post, the freaking heartburn and indigestion.  Oh my word, its unbearable, never had it this bad last time.  Also constipation and hemorrhoids (they go hand in hand, amiright?).  Brutal.  I told my DH i'd much rather be vomiting daily like my last pregnancy than dealing with all this.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?


    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
    Nothing really, I was pretty level headed.  The only thing I did freak out about was when I slipped and fell off the bus while going to work.  All ended up being fine but after I walked in my building I found a bench and just cried.  I wasn't hurt or anything, I think I was just over it at that point, haha!  Oh you hormones!

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    I've been fortunate enough to travel quite a bit but I'd have to say my favorite was South Korea.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    Sore breasts that come and go, tired, eating everything in sight. Pretty much the same as with DS.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    Rant: I really wish I could enjoy this pregnancy more. I feel like I live in constant fear of a m/c after having a loss last month. It really robbed me of my pregnancy innocence, so to speak. 

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
    Making sure I bought all of the baby stuff before he got here, even things he wouldn't use for months like a jumperoo. We lived in a small apartment at the time so it was super cramped for no reason. As a PP said, definitely going minimal and taking things slower this time.

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    Hmmm... probably Universal Studios. Admittedly I haven't done a lot of traveling though. We do the Wisconsin Dells every year and that's always fun. I love theme/water parks.

  • How far along are you? 7+4

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Nausea all day, everyday & tons of cramps. I have sub chorionic hemorrhages surrounding the uterus which are causing a ton of cramping. Definitely didn't have that the last pregnancies.

     Rant/Rave/Questions?

    Our new duty station is not at all what we expected & we miss our families and the States so much. We are rurally stationed and 14 hours difference than all of our friends & families. The struggle with being here is huge. We've been AD for 17 years and this is by far the most difficult we've ever had it. Pregnancy is never easy for me--we've had 5 losses, so going it 'alone' is rough.

     What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?

    As a few PPs have said, 'stuff' for baby. So silly, since we have two littles and are currently stationed overseas with little extra space. We will be minimalists this time.

     GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?

    An Alaskan cruise was our honeymoon--we got preggo the month after we got married, so I was 18 weeks when we were on the cruise, so still a blast.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    I'm having really bad nausea and I'm positive it was not this bad last time. I had to get some Phenergan from my OB to cope with it. 

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    Rant/Rave: My husband was being really good about helping me around the house lately and I was really bragging about him, then all of a sudden he stopped. Like, he's "too tired" after work to help me out. He thinks he works harder than I do. I know his job is high stress, but he just sits in a chair all day checking loops for an oil and gas company. I'm actively teaching all day - on my feet, engaging children, making learning fun. UGGH!

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly?
    I constantly worried about my little baby before I could feel it move and every OB appointment was a million years away. I was so relieved when I saw/heard a heartbeat at each appointment. I really don't feel that way this time. The time is going by real fast!

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed?
    We went to California for our honeymoon. We started in San Diego and drove up the coast to the Red Wood Forest and back to SD. We spent two weeks just being tourists and doing touristy things!

    Nausea. Started earlier than last time and steadily worsening.

    7 AM is hard. That's when I feel sickest, and also when I start work. Sit-ups are usually involved.

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Nothing, really. Last time we weren't really prepared enough. This time I'm going to get my ducks in a row - especially lots of meal prep in advance

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Just really tired. Easy irritable. Both exactly the same symptoms I had with my other two kids.

    Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant - why do kids have to eat/snack/annoy you every 1-2 hours. Like, do they really need dinner EVERY night? :D DS is 5 and DD is 3 and oh boy, they're a blast when they don't have school (I work from home). Is it bedtime yet?

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? I needed to have all the things with my first. But of course I needed to have the bouncer before the baby is born - eyeroll. Haha Definitely could have waited 6 months on that! 

    GTKY: Where did you go on your honeymoon OR where is your favorite place you've vacationed? We went to an all inclusive in Aruba - heavenly!! My favorite place to vacation is Italy - we took our 2 kids there two years ago and it was awesome.

    What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
    None yet. I honestly don't remember when I started having symptoms last time around but I'm just going to enjoy this while it lasts. Last time around I just had mild nausea and toward the end had heartburn. I'd say it was a super easy pregnancy so here's hoping for a repeat.

    Rant/Rave/Questions?
    I've had a wicked cold for almost 2 weeks and last night it got really bad. I had a terrible sinus headache, couldn't stop sneezing, couldn't breath. To top it of kiddo was super duper needy and DH was out of town so I couldn't tap out. All I wanted was for the kid to go the F to sleep so I could nurse my cold, but no apparently kids don't generally get tired until actual bedtime.

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? Clothes. I really wanted to be able to dress my own kid. I still do, but I've just sort of come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have to let the grandparents have that privilege until kiddo gets too big for the cute stuff (and by then the kid will want to pick their own clothes so I should probably just give up now).

  • @Lizlann, I can't stand the clothes my MIL buys for my DD. It's hideous!! All of it! She bought her this lacy baby outfit once and I swear it looked like some of my lingerie! She basically bought my baby girl, baby lingerie! I vomited in my mouth when she showed it to me. Needless to say, she buys what she wants her to have and it all goes to the back of the closet and she never wears it. She lives in Alaska so she doesn't ever know. 
  • I'm 8w3d today and sick (nausea, indigestion, and the fatigue is real!). I didn't have any of these issues the first time around. Anyone else having a completely different pregnancy already? 
  • @sbl0609 This is my 3rd PG and all 3 have been different. 1st I was nauseous in the morning and had bad indigestion and sciatica. 2nd I was so so sick all day everyday had to go into medicine and had bad indigestion . This PG waves of nausea, worst at night (held back puke last night in the shower), minimal indigestion and no back pain. 
  • @Emeraldcity mine lives down the street so she definitely notices, and says something, if she hasn't seen something worn. Her taste in kids clothes isn't too bad though. I can't believe some if the inappropriate clothes they make for little girls. It's a good thing you don't have to put her in the baby lingerie!

  • @sbl0609 this pregnancy is different (so far) from my first.  The heartburn has been off the chain until I started on Zantac the other day, now its more controlled with some residual pain.  First go around I was vomiting for the first 7 months, but nothing so far this time.  I keep telling myself that it gets better but right now everything and anything makes me feel like bleh.

    Im kinda feeling like a failure in the mom department.  Ive been barely able to stay awake past 6pm, and my DH and DD have been left to figure out dinner on their own.  Im grateful for him right now for taking charge... while I keep reminding him that it will get better... I hope. :)

  • @Lizlann, if it's not baby lingerie, it's something with a lot of fake fur and bling and I honestly just can't stomach any of it. I keep the receipts and try to sell it to a consignment shop. Sometimes they won't even take it. 
  • @SugarRush 6pm! You poor thing. I wait for DS to get to sleep before I crawl into bed around 8, and that cannot come soon enough. Here's hoping it passes after first trimester. :)
  • How far along are you? 6 weeks, 2 days

    What symptoms are you having? Ridiculously sore and heavy boobs!
    How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? So much better, I was sick from the get go with my DD so I'm praying I'm spared this time around (not likely lol)

    Rant/Rave/Questions? Why is laundry never-ending! DD is 3 now and I feel like her laundry is worse than when she was a newborn!!! And OMG we are in the stage of asking "why?" To everything I say. Ahhhhh!!!!

    What is one thing you stressed about getting done before you had your first baby, that looking back was silly? I was a super laid back FTM, I don't really remember stressing about getting anything done, then again pregnancy brain makes me forgetful
  • 5 weeks with #4 for me. This was planned and been pretty easy so far, in spite of having to chase after 2 toddlers. I had lots of anxiety with #2 since there was 16 years between her and her older sister, but I will have 3 under 4 and not concerned at all with pregnancy, labor or adapting afterwards. It's such a nice feeling! 

    And I never got a honeymoon, but we were full-time RVers for 2 years up until recently. "Families that travel together, stay together!" is our motto....looking forward to many more adventures as we grow our family!
