1) 6 weeks 
2) Feeling good.  Not really feeling pregnant to be honest. I have had some sort of MS the past 3 days as in gagged about an hour and a half after I wake up. But my nipples aren't sensitive today like they have been in the past. Have been really tired though. Actually fell asleep at lunch at work yesterday. That has never happened!
3) I have an apt with my doc this week
4) Doc refused to do an US before 20 weeks (even after I asked several times) so I've found a local company that will do a mini session for cheap that will confirm heartbeat and give me pictures and audio of the heartbeat. I'm excited and extremely anxious as it is around this time I had a miscarriage last time. Hoping for good news
5) Finding ways to reduce my anxiety.

1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks

2) How are you feeling? Nauseated and tired. Story of my life these days lol, plus a little more irritable today. Heartburn is already terrible too. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week? First ultrasound on THURSDAY! I can't believe it's finally almost here! DH better know I love him, because it could have been Tuesday lol. He gets to go with me on Thursday though . At least it gives LO a few more days to grow. 

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone have nerve twitching?! I have a nerve in my stomach that is constantly twitching (like when your eye twitches). I'm guessing it's just due to thing moving around and stretching in there, but it's so weird. If I wasn't only 8 weeks I would swear it was baby kicks lol (obviously it's not, but that's what it feels like). Never had this happen with DD.

5) GTKY:  What self-care are you doing or wanting to do this week? Probably going to bed even earlier than I have been. I'm just so tired lately.

And apparently this is what 7 weeks looks like when it's baby #4 and you have no torso. Lol. I know, I know "there's no way that is physically baby taking up that space" but clearly my body remembers. Its rounded out significantly in the last 3 weeks. Even my kids can tell!

I've also had spasms that feel just like baby's first kicks. Tricky little muscles!!

@rockinro_17 you're in good company. I couldn't hide this pregnancy if I wanted to 

1. 7 weeks 
2. Nauseous most of the day, exhausted, busting out of bras, irrationally angry, already wearing maternity pants. This baby don't play 
3. None
4. Rave--had our 1st ultrasound yesterday and baby measured right on track and had a good, strong heartbeat! Answered prayers for this PGAL momma.
5. Self care? Hmmm hadn't considered this... maybe a pedi? I was given tons of jamberry wraps for my bday last year and I have been thinking I'd do a new one soon. I might to a pedi/Friends-watching night when my DH works late tomorrow. That sounds like a good plan 

rockinro_17

@keriflores - have you ever tried organic Ginger Rootbeer? It helped a ton with heartburn in my last pregnancy

OliveOyl2014

1) How many weeks are you?
6 weeks 

2) How are you feeling?
Exhausted! A little sick here and there and no appetite. 

3) Any appointments or tests this week?
No appointment until March 15

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: I forced myself to go to sleep early every night this week to try and catch up on sleep. Then rant: I'm now behind on my schoolwork and have to play catch up tomorrow! 

5) GTKY:  What self-care are you doing or wanting to do this week?
I'm going to try to balance my school and bedtime. I work until late, and usually stay up after that to study, but I need sleep too. It was a huge difference this week with those extra hours of sleep! 

virginiaham

I started the thread and didn't even stick around to play!

@2babes3angels so glad your US went well!

1) How many weeks are you? 7 weeks yesterday/Saturday

2) How are you feeling? So tired, waves of nausea throughout the day.  It hasn't been the best week but I'm thankful for the strong symptoms.

3) Any appointments or tests this week?  7+5/Thursday with my midwife

4) Rants/Raves/Questions?  We have ~8 hours of education for work we suddenly need to turn in by next week.  Classic me, I've had since September to do it and the week it suddenly becomes urgent I feel awful.

5) GTKY:  What self-care are you doing or wanting to do this week?  I just need a whole lotta sleep so I'm going to make sure that happens.

1) How many weeks are you? 7 Weeks as of yesterday (Saturday)  

2) How are you feeling? Nauseated and really tired, I'm like a yawning machine.

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Yes! First ultrasound on THURSDAY! I'm excited but I do have some apprehension. But, my OB told me after my anatomy scan I'll get a US every four weeks, which I'm def looking forward to!.

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? My lovely Mother def knows something is "off" with me. lol I've been giving a great poker face but she's like a lady with a crystal ball haha knows all sees all..not really but that's how I feel. Keeping this pregnancy a secret is becoming increasingly hard. My bloating is gonna give it away I know it!

Talk about symptoms/cravings. I just loaded up my 3 kids at bedtime to run to the grocery store to get Lime La Croix. I'm so thirsty and it's the only thing that sounds decent. Too nauseous!! But I wanted it really cold, so not only did I but a case but I hinted in the store and found an individual one in a cooler! The kids were troopers and the store is just around the corner.

Making a mental note to make sure I always have some on hand!

ksf13

@rockinro_17 I'll have to try that! We had a get together today that was "taco themed" and the heartburn is real lol. Wish I had some already so I could try it NOW!

The lime la croix waters are awesome with a splash of cranberry juice too!

I am late!! 

1) How many weeks are you? 8

2) How are you feeling? Physically, pretty terrible. Trying to stay positive, but I am ragey/ pukey/ starving on a rotating basis. I am hopeful for relief in a few weeks!

3) Any appointments or tests this week? Had one last week. US looked good, so I feel a little safer being excited about baby!

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want to feel satisfied after eating for longer than like 20min haha.

5) GTKY:  What self-care are you doing or wanting to do this week? I feel like I have been in kind of a negative, overwhelmed place. I want to work on being more positive.

MCraig1484

1) How many weeks are you? 8 on Saturday

2) How are you feeling? so tired and nauseous. I got 10ish hours of sleep both nights this weekend and took a 2 hour nap both days and still feel exhausted.  Keeping up with a 16 mo while being pregnant is tough work!

3) Any appointments or tests this week? no

4) Rants/Raves/Questions? my first appointment was supposed to be last Friday, but it got re-scheduled an hour and a half beforehand to the 7th.  Fortunately, the original appointment was with the nurse and my new appointment is with the actual OB, but still, I was counting down the days to that appointment!

5) GTKY:  What self-care are you doing or wanting to do this week?
maybe a bath?
