Re: Tuesday Ticker Change! (2-21)
6 weeks today, but that's based on LMP, ovulation has me 6+2
2) How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Last night sure kicked my butt. It was the first time I had felt absolutely bad. I had a bit of a big dinner with a lot of spice in it and that just laid me out. I couldn't sleep and when I did sleep, DH woke me up (on accident) and I couldn't sleep again. My boobs hurt to the point of not even wanting to brush them on pillows. I am now back to normal with the occasional little food aversion.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? None this week, but 1 in exactly 1 week!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: Found out I can't even drink chamomile tea! I brought several baggies in hope of warmth... Now I am sipping on some hot cocoa because I am so hungry. I am really having a hard time eating healthy but also meeting my nutritional needs.
Question: On that topic... how do you ladies do it? Do you prepack snacks, what's on your grocery list for staying healthy?
@samyv Thanks for posting and staying on top of it!
2) How are you feeling? Nausea is starting to creep it's way into my life. Other than that, just the sore boobs, bloating, and exhaustion I've had all the way through so far
3) Any appointments or tests this week? More bloodwork and repeat ultrasound tomorrow. Hoping to see a heartbeat this time since they couldn't find one last week. Fingers crossed!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just once, it would be nice to have a test that isn't "inconclusive". I'm really hoping we get some more solid answers tomorrow cause this is starting to stress me out!

2) How are you feeling? The last few days have been better in terms of nausea. I've been taking Unisom and b6 and it seems to be working! Fingers crossed it stays that way!
3) Any appointments or tests this week? Not until 3/20! WE had our first appointment last week
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I need my energy back asap!!! I've got so much to do it's not even funny!
2) feeling nauseous since before BFP, but thought I was going to puke for sure this morning. Boobs hurt so bad it hurts to even dry off after a shower. Oh the bloat. Oh the sleepiness. Grateful for every symptom tho, reminding me that I'm still carrying this sweet pea-sized babe.
3) no appt until March 8!! It's killing me!
4) my toddler is on a nap strike and naps for 30-40 minutes tops, plus wakes up at 5:30 for the day. MAMA IS OVER IT! I wish I could nap as much as I did with my first pregnancy but I'm thankful for my sweet little guy.
@ZukiWife FX for you!!!
4 weeks!
2) How are you feeling?
Psychologically better now that I'm "late" as of today and the test lines are getting darker. I found out super early at 9dpo. Physically, I've been really tired. Most food doesn't sound good and I'm getting full really easy but have only had two waves of feeling like I might have a chance of getting sick. It's more like a constant very slight idea of nausea in the background, I'm sure it's coming. Boobs are a little sore as of the last couple days.
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
nope. First is March 7th
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
2) How are you feeling? I had a serious episode of nausea before dinner last night, I think because I had an empty stomach? It didn't help that DD was hanging off of me during it all. I was ok after a few minutes and some ginger ale but it was not fun! Otherwise just tired, mood swings, some dizziness.
3) Any appointments or tests this week? One more week to go! Counting down the days as I just want some reassurance that the little bean is thriving.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I recently switched my prenatal from one containing DHA to Rainbow Light without DHA. Does anyone have suggestions on a DHA supplements they like? Any experience with DHA sourced from algae vs fish oil?
However they also said these things are hard to measure so early so I'm staying in the Tuesday group
1) How many weeks are you?
8 weeks
2) How are you feeling?
The usual - nauseous, exhausted, sore boobs, crazy sense of smell (making dinner is hard, raw meat makes me gag ugh) and starting today, Round Ligament Pain!
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
First midwife appointment on Friday! I can't wait to finally hear the heartbeat and see our LO in there!
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rants - Normally, I keep the kitchen and rest of the house relatively clean. Dishes done on the daily. 2 weeks ago I asked DH to help pick up the slack with dishes and cooking, since my sense of smell has made it near impossible to do either without gagging. He didn't. And surprise, ANTS invaded the kitchen!!! He cleaned everything top to bottom yesterday, sprayed Raid where they came in and has stayed on top of it since then. This afternoon he asked ME to help keep it clean so we don't get ants coming back. Are you F-ING kidding me??
6 weeks
2) How are you feeling?
So freakin tired! Sore boobs, and just slight nausea has started over the weekend
3) Any appointments or tests this week?
Not until NEXT Friday
4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not right now!!
Me.30 DH.31
BFP 2/3/17...edd 10/13/17
2) SO bloated. This is my third and way more bloated than my first two. Also food aversions. And smells are gross. I get full easily But I can't complain because that's it.
3)no but I'm itching to hear this sweet babes heartbeat again
4) none! Just sticking it out until these 12 weeks are OVER and I'm mostly in the clear!
nausea starts in afternoon, sore boobs all day, emotional
second ultrasound on Thursday Mar 2. I'll be 8 weeks and 3 days. We saw a flicker of a heartbeat when I went in a week ago for side pain. They wanted to make sure it was not an ectopic pregnancy. Got to see the little bean, but I'm hoping he/she has grown and is still healthy.
Rant- it's all going by so slow and waiting and worrying that everything is ok is driving me nuts!
