Re: FTM Check In 3/7
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Weight phantom issues. TLDR: I was worried about weight gain, but everything ended up being fine.
WARNING: Talk of BM, no details, promise. So weight: I'm a vegan, so I was very worried about gaining enough weight and none of my doctors would take my concerns seriously (shocker) so I've been tracking my weight pretty closely since 14 weeks. Everything was going relatively ok, but there was a lot of fluctuation by up to 2 pounds every couple days. Seemed to be linked to BM movements. I always take it in the morning before eating, but sometimes I would have a morning BM and sometimes I wouldn't. One day I was lucky enough to get to take it before and after a BM, and it changed by 1.5 pounds. Then, I seemed to gain 4 pounds in one week last week, which of course got me worried but I figured I would track it for another week or two before freaking out and calling my doctor. I do not have HPB and I did not have any other worrying symptoms. I also don't have any "pre-existing conditions" or any other risk factors for GD or pre-eclampsia accept for family history of diabetes and blood pressure problems. So I was taking it every two days and it would jump down, jump up, etc. etc. and I wasn't ever able to have a morning BM until today. Finally today I woke up and had to go, and then I took my weight, and it was right on track for gaining 1 pound a week in the last two weeks. (had a normal BM to start with) Moral of the story: Poop is heavy man.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Nope, not until March 21st

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? @kerils I can sympathize. I can go 2-3 days and then I'll go 3-4 times in one day. Mostly, feel like pre-pregnant self.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Had A/S this morning. Everything looks great. HR still in 150's. Have an anterior placenta

Questions for FTM, or STM+? --
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? We met online. I was really against online dating but when you're in your late 20's and all your friends are married with kids, it's hard to meet new people. We emailed for a week and then I left on a 10 day cruise. DH emailed me while I was gone and as soon as I was home, we started emailing several times a day. After 3 more weeks, we met for drinks after work and the rest is history.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? My anxiety has subsided and I'm feeling pretty good this week, thankfully.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Nope, but have our A/S on Friday!
Rants/raves? I've been feeling so big and uncomfortable lately and I know it's barely getting started. I'm trying to navigate that and stay positive and healthy for my baby. I know it's all for the good, so I'm putting all my effort forward!
Questions for FTM, or STM+? For STMs that went back to work, how was it leaving baby? I'm really nervous about it already. I will be off probably 8.5 weeks, but the thought of being away scares me. I was going to enroll in daycare right away, but my grandma has offered to watch the baby until they get a bit bigger which is a huge relief for me, but still the thought of leaving them makes me uneasy.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? I was in the sister organization of his fraternity and had added the members of his chapter as friends on FB when they gained chapter status. I was interested in one of his chapter brothers even though they were at a university three hours away. DH had been messaging me because he was interested and I very much wasn't, but thought I could befriend him to gain access to the other guy I was interested in. Somehow DH won me over and we started texting every day and eventually had long four and five hour skype dates. After a couple months, he convinced his friend to drive to my city so he could visit me and after a really awful first date, I gave him one last chance and we finally clicked and have been together every since!
@kerils have to second that BM activity is soooo unpredictable, but it weighs A LOT! Glad all is okay!

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Starting to get more achy in my lower back and pelvis. Evening nausea seems to be returning, but nowhere near as bad as first tri. DH felt a good hard kick last night which was awesome.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Yep- a/s and checkup on Friday. Everything is looking great and we have confirmation that it's a girl!
Rants/raves? We toured a daycare this morning. DH and I both loved it and they said they're starting an expansion and there's an excellent chance that they'll have space in October! I'm very relieved, but will still be on the lookout for backup options.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? In college, we were both doing summer internships and lived in the same dorm on a college campus (which was at a school that neither of us attended). I met him my first night there and we became inseparable. We went to college 2000 miles from each other so we intended to just have a summer fling. But by the end of the summer we liked each other enough that we decided to give long distance a try, and with a lot of effort and commitment, it worked out. I wouldn't generally recommend this strategy to someone in their early 20s, but it worked for us.
How far along are you?

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Fatigue/exhaustion. I thought it was bad before - I could barely take a trip across the street from my office to Target just now. I'm already feeling the crowding of my lungs too, so I needed to take a time out a few times during my trip. I'm hoping it isn't this bad every day? (Please tell me it is not.)
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go?
We had our A/S on Friday! All looks good, and we're having a boy.
Rants/raves?
My rant is my energy level.
My rave is for my husband, who cleaned the house top to bottom yesterday.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
The old fashioned way - at a bar
We were both out with friends. His friend came up to my friend and I with the intent of picking me up! In my three-drink-no-dinner haze, I still realized that I found my husband to be much cuter!
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Experiencing a lot of pain in my right hip. My app told me this is normal because your back and hips will be "loosening up" to prepare you for labour. I didn't know loosening would hurt. You'd think it would feel good. Anyways, it has me sleeping very uncomfortably and I'm up at least 3 or 4 times every night now. I'm a side sleeper so when I sleep on the right it hurts so I move to the left but then that eventually gets uncomfortable from constantly being on the left. *sigh* It's only bad at night though. Really odd. It's like once I lie down everything just releases then if I go to get up I almost fall over. Takes me a few minutes to get strength in that side in the morning. It's terribly annoying.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? No new appointments.
Rants/raves? I'm chemical-free so my Mom asked what brands or stores to buy Cricket's (her nickname for now) "junk." Then wrote "LOL." Joking or not, it irked me. Like just get over it already.
Changed my shower date because the original was on my best friends daughter's (my goddaughter's) birthday only to find out that new date is her Grandma's 80th birthday. She said she would be at my shower but I highly suspect like she will bail just like every other important thing in my life. Girl doesn't leave the freaking house and I'm just getting sick of our visits being a one-way street.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? Not that I can pull out of my head at the moment haha!
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? It was the summer before I was starting high school. I was with a friend and she took me down to the beach (we're from a small town) to hang out with a bunch of her new friends. I met DH and a bunch of people. One of the guys decided to bike down the staircase (it's a big ass staircase) and well, you can imagine how that ended up. Thankfully the hospital is literally right up the hill from the beach so we spent our evening in there. Dude broke his arm. But that's when we first met. We passed notes in class in grade 9 haha! I dated him for a very short period of time when I was 13 (if you can even call it that!) He moved all over the place over the years, even across the country. He eventually came back when I was 16 and we've been together ever since.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? the back pain is killing me. I am so uncomfortable all the time. And I know it's only going to get worse. Ugh.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Had a regular appointment Friday with a midwife (OB was on vacation). Everything looks great. She was able to feel her moving around in there. First time they measured my belly, that felt like a milestone haha.
Rants/raves? See above re: back pain.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? Not today.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? He went to law school with my older sister. They were friends and she brought him (and a group of others) to our grandma's one day to go swimming/boating (she lived on a lake). This was in 2008 I think. He was in law school, and I was...much younger. We had an instant connection and talked on and off for a long time before we actually dated, but were good friends the whole time. The age thing had me freaked out for a long time. Plus it just seemed like the timing never worked out (when he was single, I had a bf and vice versa). Once we actually started dating (2013) we moved in together after only a few months and bought a house a few months after that. We were engaged within a year. It seemed fast for those that didn't really know us, but for our close friends/family, it made sense.
@maybeitsmadeline I'm glad that your GM is going to watch baby until it's a bit bigger. I think I would be more at ease having a family member watch baby vs sending to a daycare right away. Still, no matter what, leaving baby is going to be hard, I'm sure.
@stokesm21 You've been chemical free for awhile I'm assuming so its nothing new, right? My MIL laughed at me when I told her we were using cloth diapers. I also plan on making baby food and breast feeding. She kept telling me how she could never do those things because it wasn't 'convenient'. During one conversation I basically backhanded her by saying I'm sick of people telling us how to raise our child based on what's convenient. We're going to do what we feel is best. End.Of.Story. Not once since has she said anything about DH & I's choices. I know it's frustrating and they mean well, but at the same time, I just want to yell that you had your chance, now let us do it.

Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? I was 17, he was 22, and his sisters wedding was coming up and her entire family was over from the US, staying at their grandparents home. We were all invited because his grandparents and my grandparents were neighbours.
So one day his sister came over to my grandparents and brought him along because he needed to use a computer. Its a small town so I was the closest person to have internet access and a computer. He was being very obvious with the staring and I was quite entertained by him and totally enjoyed the attention lol. He started making excuses to keep coming to use the "computer" but my dad picked up on it and so one day my dad made an excuse that I was sleeping and he can't use the computer for that reason (I was totally awake lol). He got the hint and never tried coming over again lol.
So ...then his sisters wedding started and we met again (wedding was in the grandparents house ) so bumping into him was inevitable! I had a younger cousin who totally picked up on the chemistry and sort of connected us and he then he left for America ... and two years later we got engaged!
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Not really. I had headaches last week and you guys rock! @kerils I understand you on the BMs....and weight watching. I was so under weight for so long then gained then lost...so its complex and I agree with you on man its heavy!
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? No, but I am trying to swap doctors. We're buying a house in May in another neighborhood an hour in traffic, 30 min on the weekend away and that last month you go to the doc weekly.
Rants/raves? The process to swap doctors is annoying! They need my health records which I hear are 130 pages to approve of me! It's like.....wait people pregnant women move, women have babies, life happens, ugh! I so hope the doctors office by our new house accepts me. Weird, they changed the power dynamic as I was wanting to see if I liked them. I even have a reference of a past mom who used that OB. ugh! Today is also the first day being pregnant just made me feel so sick and yucky.....not fun. Bloody nose and just some tummy sickness all day. It's like almost sick enough to call into work and yet not.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? People keep telling us we need a specific bottle or random thing, then others say try every bottle-- your baby may only like one. SO I guess that's a question. We're volunteering at a church sale this weekend so we get to shop early....so any stocking up advice too!!!
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? So we met in college in a course. We had met on campus a year or two before that. After the class, every day he walked me home out of his way. He was my best friend and I didn't want to lost him to dating him....but eventually, I realized and we started dating and he has been my best friend every since. We've been together 13 years, but we only got married a few years ago-- it took him a long time to propose. We've lived all across the country so we have done the distance and living together and I feel like every combination imaginable!
@PurplePumpernickel Oh I agree with out of breatheness. It kids me on random conference calls.
ooh and a fun thing. I found fit4moms its a fitness thing and did their prenatal class all.....and was in love! I was hopeful to go tonight but I feel too umm pregnant tired sick...insert adjective here.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Not really. Maybe a few more aches here and there but that's about it
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Had our A/S and Fetal Echo Cardiogram. Both went very well and our baby looks healthy and playful. It was hard not to change our mind last second and find out the gender but we're glad we didn't. Baby is also measuring 1 week ahead at 14 oz (which I am hoping is because LO is just growing fast and not because I am eating almost everything in sight due to always hungry).
Rants/raves? Not at the moment.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? Nope
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? We met in high school and stayed friends - cried on the other one's shoulder during break ups and now we're together
@kerils @SquirttheTurtle - I have the same thing with my BM. It's either nothing or 4 times a day lol
@SquirttheTurtle - GL with the A/S and Fetal Echo
@maybeitsmadeline - Glad you're feeling better.
@GreenBean @PurplePumpernickel - Congrats!!
@stokesm21 - I hear ya! I found a nice warm bath / shower (just standing under the water) helps a lot.
@LuLiLaEv - Thanks for the response to @maybeitsmadeline question. I am not SAHM material either and I am nervous about leaving LO with DH to watch lol. Your response made me feel a little better.
@BusyZee - GL at your A/S

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? @rae1 I got my first episode of really bad back pain today. I had to stop halfway through putting away the groceries because it was so bad. Thankfully, H put the rest away so I could rest on the couch. I'm afraid of how much worse it can get.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Nope, next appt is growth scan next week.
Rants/raves? I know I'm going to sound whiny but I'm just so tired all the time. I've been meaning to study, catch up on work, and start exercising but I barely have energy for one of those each evening after work. I'm looking forward to mid-April when my exam is over and I get a week off!
Questions for FTM, or STM+? none today
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? we met online! okcupid ftw lol. We went out about a week after first talking online and towards the end of a wonderful first date I threw up all over the place. I didn't think he was going to call after that (seriously guys, it was EVERYWHERE) but for some reason he did, and we've been together ever since!

@maybeitsmadeline I have very similar fears about leaving baby and going back to work. I love my job, it's a big part of who I am, but I really want to be the best mom I can be for this little human I have the honor of growing... thanks @LuLiLaEv for the encouragement.
Love reading everyone's stories of meeting their SO... I'm a romantic and enjoy a good love story.
How far along are you? 21w exactly
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? I think I had previously posted that baby is now kicking and dancing around in there
having trouble sleeping too... well being on overnight pager call doesn't exactly help with that part...
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Ob appointment today, all looking good. Also got measured for the first time today and felt like I'd just graduated or something @Rae1
Rants/raves? Just super excited that baby is doing well, growing and kicking and making me smile
Questions for FTM, or STM+? A lot of questions about what stuff is needed and what's superfluous, following that discussion with interest
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
We met at the hospital where we both work - he's a doctor too. He came to review his patient's imaging and then kept coming back for daily consults lol - I was so "in the zone" trying to do a good job as a junior resident that I didn't even pick up on what was going on until he asked me out one day
20 weeks 2 days
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Nope. Just caught the flu.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go?
Have one this Thursday
Rants/raves?
I had to miss two days of work because of the flu. Being so limited in what medicines I can take is so annoying. Just give me that Mucinex-D!!
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
None that hasn't been asked already.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? I can feel movement more and more each day which is pretty cool. It's usually so unexpected and takes me by surprise.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I had an a/s 2 weeks ago, lo looks amazing but we haven't heard anything official from the midwives. They did say "no news is good news," but I'm probably going to call to check in because my appointments another 2 weeks away.
Rants/raves? I'm experiencing some pretty bad work stress. The place I work for is feeling very dysfunctional and I don't feel like I'm valued or appreciated.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? As a first time mom, how long did it take to feel the baby's kicks from the outside? I'm excited for my dear partner to feel the baby, but it feels like it's still quite far off. I was a bit overweight when I got pregnant, so maybe it will take longer than normal.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? We met online. I was on a dating spree, meeting lots of new people and quickly realizing just how many duds are out there. When I met my boyfriend I didn't think we were a match! We had a great conversation, but I wasn't attracted in 'that way.' About a year later, he reached out to me because he moved to the town I work in (we became facebook friends after our initial meeting). We realized that we had a lot in common and became very good friends; he had a girlfriend at the time and neither of us was looking for anything but friendship. 6 months later he broke up with his girlfriend, and we ended up being more than friends shortly after. It was tough at first because I didn't want to ruin the friendship, but it was so worth it. Now we're having a baby :-)
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Yay. this is technically my first check in. I'm still in quite a bit of pelvic pain due to SPD. But modifying my schedule to work from home 2x a week is definitely helping.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? the anatomy scan went well. It's still so strange to see those 3D ultrasound images, but I keep sneaking peeks of the screenshot in my phone.
Rants/raves? I've been trying hard to eat healthier and sweet treats keep showing up in the kitchen at work! It's torture.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? How much did your baby look like the 3D ultrasound?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? We met working at an ad agency. I was brand new and wanted to be a copywriter so my boss suggested I introduce myself to one of the writers. I chose the friendliest looking one out of a bunch of intimidating, older guys. We hit it off and dated secretly at two different agencies. No one from either company knew until we got engaged. We work at competing shops now, which suits us even better.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? My emotions are all over the place. My skin has also gotten worse.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Nope.
Rants/raves? A rant at myself - The next time you're in a crappy mood, don't unload on your H and say things that aren't true. It just makes you feel crappier, especially when you hurt him.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO? We met through match.com. On our first date, we realized that the other looked familiar. Come to find out, we attended the same college for a year and met at a fraternity party. Because of H's awful Hawaiian shirt, I remember thinking "Who would wear that in public?!" when I met him. almost 5 years later, I'm glad to report that shirt has not made an appearance in our home.
How far along are you?
23 weeks +
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Insomnia, Batman. I'm awake every night from 2a to 4a like it's my job.
Any appointments?
Nope
Rants/raves?
Just the not sleeping. And work... @Twinkiedoll I need to make your change.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
If we are not super aggressive about doing laundry, how many onesies do we need? DH asked if the LO would wear 6 a day. I hope not.
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
At the gym, in a group fitness class. DH has lots of guts.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? I don't know that I've ever officially checked in on this thread before, but I forgot to take my unisom once this week and figured it would be a good time to stop. WRONG! Immediate nausea/gagging the next day. Back to unisom it is!
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I had my A/S 2 weeks ago and everything they saw looked good, but they needed to get a few more pictures (most of the heart), so we go back on Friday.
Rants/raves? Can the same thing be both a rant and a rave? Getting to halfway this week has simultaneously made me very excited and very worried that we still have so much to learn/do before the baby gets here!
Questions for FTM, or STM+? I was lurking on August and saw a discussion of how you shouldn't let your baby sleep in the rock n' play, when previously other moms had told me that was all their babies slept in for the first few months. What are others' thoughts?
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
We met online (also okcupid @manillabar!!). I had just moved back to near my hometown after living out of state for 8 years so I wanted to meet new people. He had also just moved back to the area after living a couple of hours away. Turns out we went to the same college but never knew each other (which isn't surprising, it's huge) and grew up just 10 or so minutes away from eachother. It's not a super exciting story, we had an ok first date, I wasn't convinced it was going to amount to anything but he was nice and we kept going out. Now I can't imagine my life without him, he really is the best person I know! And he's been amazing during the pregnancy, I can't wait to see him be a father. (And now I'm tearing up, stupid pregnancy hormones!)
everyone keeps telling us we need a rock n play, but I did find one note from a pediatrician online saying its not a safe spot to sleep...so that was why. I also feel like we bought so many other things. That said, I have seen moms on facebook have giant issues from needing to call 911 because their baby slept for a long time in a swing, and they thought the baby stopped breathing....so I think it's all related, but I'd love to learn more!!! overall.
One other question for the group--- I have my glucose test coming soon. I heard not to eat much white stuff like bread pasta or even just regular cake for the two days prior. Has anyone had their first test? Any insights on what you did or avoided?

@GreenBean For the last 5 days or so, my back just starts randomly hurting. Then it goes away in like half an hour. But nothing that I do during that time changes it.
@stokesm21 I went for a walk last week and my one hip felt so loose that I was convinced it was going to fall out and just start dangling there. Also, I’m sorry you’re dealing with your mom being so dismissive of your choices. I have a MIL, whom I love, but who is convinced that my child will end up deathly allergic to shellfish and dairy if I raise them vegan. Sigh.
@Rae1 The OB at my anatomy scan measured me for the first time at 20 weeks and it was so cool! I felt like I graduated lol
@BusyZee On the rash, have you tried coconut oil? It’s kind of a miracle skin moisturizer, at least for me. I have a ton of different skin issues, but it works on all of them. As far as the rib pain, one of my OB’s actually asked me about that, which makes me think it might be a sign of a problem. I don’t know anything other than that, but I would mention it to your doctor just in case.
@Katie______ Switching doctors is a real PITA. It took me weeks and weeks to switch to my midwifery practice because their secretaries are incompetent and I had to send my records 4 times! 4!!! I still don’t understand the whole “approval” process. Especially if you’re just switching to another OB. FX that your process is easier than mine.
@CPR79 Don’t feel bad. I’m still wearing sea bands off and on at 22 weeks. I never took medicine (I’m stubborn about it) but those things stayed on 24/7 until 18 weeks, when I stupidly left them on while doing dishes and stuck my hands straight into a sink full of water. Womp, womp. I had to take them off and wash them, and I realized that I could go a little bit without them. But I still get times when I need to go grab them and put them back on.

It's been so worth it. Our relationship was not going to survive NYC or big law.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Not getting enough sleep is not a good thing for me. Makes me cranky and pissy. That and the generally getting more uncomfortable over time thing.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go?
nope
Rants/raves?
I may have spent half an hour watching my belly twitch around from baby kicks. it's super weird.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
not right now
GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
We're high school sweethearts. We had several classes together starting freshman year and I finally asked him out sophomore year. It's been almost 18 yrs and married for 10 of them (our anniversary is next week).
