Re: STM+ Check In | 3.29.17
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Still tired. Getting some SI joint pain now and my wrists have started aching. Still some mild nausea.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Still very on par with my last pregnancy.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I cannot find my damn wrist brace I used last time around. I'm hoping if I start using it periodically now my wrists won't get as bad as they did with DS.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Leo. Most of the time it's spot on but writers sometimes forget that Leos can also be introverts. I enjoy them when someone actually takes the time to be thoughtful about their predictions (even if I know it's not real... like with the Chinese Gender Charts). DH and DS are both Cancers and this baby will likely be a Libra.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Finally less pukey. Still crazy emotional. Hip pain in full effect now too. WTF? I really dont remember RLP till further along last time.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Much tougher than my first pregnancy.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Our house is sold + we still haven't found a house. Stressed ain't even the word. ALSO, annoyed my doc wants me to do the Glucose test at 16 weeks to test for early GD. I know it's just a precaution but I didnt have it last time. Yes i gained 60 lbs last pregnancy but i lost 40 of it prior to getting pregnant. And i lost another 5lb between my 8 and 12 week appointments from being so sick. I'm definitely heavier than last pregnancy but didnt think i was so overweight that i would need to do this test so early. So annoying!
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Virgo (fun fact- So is DH, both my parents, and one of his!). It fits to a T. I'm organized, analytical, practical, etc.. I think horoscopes (ones that predict your day/week/month) are a waste of time (but fun). I think looking at it from the scope of understanding people/personalities is pretty accurate in a lot of cases!
ETA: Rant
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Exhaustion doesn't hit until mid evening now thankfully. But I still have no where near he energy I did before. Stomach is still upset but it is getting better!! I can get away with a few hours of feeling normal. The worst is the burping. It really is gross and out of control!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So different! Granted I was chasing a toddler/preschooler around last time, but I am not as sick as last time. I also remember way more sleepy.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I have my NT scan and bloodwork in 1 week ( the 5th). I am getting a little nervous because I did not do this with either of my girls ( insurance reasons).
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm an Aquarius. It does describe me pretty well. I enjoy reading horoscopes but I tend to not look too deep in them.
Oct. '17 June S.C. "You Had 1 Job"
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Nausea has faded over the last week, so hopefully it's on it's way out. I've been feeling pretty good!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Symptoms (especially nausea) have been much worse this time around.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nope. Just a little anxious about my appointment today.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I will start off by saying I absolutely do not believe that a person's birthdate will dictate their personality. I do not read my horoscope, unless I happen to stumble upon it in a magazine. However, DH, my mom, and I are all geminis, and each of us fit the typical, double personality, Gemini profile completely. DD is a cancer, and she also seems to fits that profile. So, who knows!
11w2d due 10/16
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm still nauseous every now and then but that seems to be getting better. Still exhausted and am having some breathing things going on that I wrote about on the symptoms thread today.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I threw up way more with my last pregnancy but I don't remember having the constant nausea so I guess that's a bit different. Other than that it's pretty much the same so far.
Rant/Rave/Questions? nope!
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Gemini and I definitely think it fits me. I like to read my horoscope but I wouldn't base any decisions on it!
12+1 10/10/17
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
nauseous most of the time and puke every morning but I feel like it's starting to subside a bit
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Reminds me of the first pregnancy but a little bit more severe. More nausea and more fatigue...just more
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I'm on spring break so I'm pretty happy about that! Plus we are out for summer end of may so there is that countdown happening
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time?
Leo. For the most part yes. I'm not a social butterfly though, I'm more introverted. I like reading them though on occasion but I don't usually seek them out
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Not much in the way of symptoms right now. Just my pants getting more uncomfortable.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty similar
Rant/Rave/Questions? Ugh. I bought a Doppler last pregnancy and for the life of my I can't find it anywhere. We've moved a couple times since then but I'm pretty organized. I have no idea where it went unless it accidentally got tossed. We purged a lot of our crap before our last move. This is going to drive me bonkers. On the plus side I found my Snoogle during my search so I'm already sleeping with that lol
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Libra. I will read them for fun sometimes but mostly think they are a waste of time. I just looked up a general definition of Libra and it's mostly not me. I think people can fall into a trap and read any of them and instantly think "yeah that's so me!"
@Mommaswizz congrats on selling your house! I understand the stress. We lived in limbo in an apartment for a few months between selling our house, moving states, and buying a new house. It sucked. I told DH I am never moving again. Good luck on your house search!
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Energy level is starting to come back. I put somewhere else, I went all last week with no puking and thought I was past that point but the puke count this week is currently at 2 soooo....
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So, so, so, so, much harder. And I don't think it's because we already have one, either. DD is a pretty easy child and is pretty content curling up on the couch and watching some Disney Junior if I'm not feeling so hot. I think this one is just going to be my trouble child
Rant/Rave/Questions? Just people. Oh, the rage I have.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I used to be a Capricorn but I feel like I changed to something else - didn't they add a new sign or something? I think I was affected in all that. I used to read mine pretty regularly, but haven't in years.
BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
9+6 due Oct 26
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I hardly had any symptoms to begin with, and they've all but disappeared.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? About the same. With DS I had maybe two days of feeling mildly nauseous and this time I had bouts of mild nausea on and off for a couple weeks, so I guess you could consider this one worse.
Rant/Rave/Questions? The first trimester is taking foooorever.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Cancer and it doesn't really fit me. DS and DH are both Pisces.
BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? getting over the stomach bug so that violent nausea is gone I'm feeling so much better
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? A lot easier
Rant/Rave/Questions? I have been sitting in my room at OB for an hour now. My appointment started at 9 I was called back at 9:40 for us and then have been waiting to see the doctor ever since. After this I get to wait for blood draw. I hate this wait!!! And I'm starving!!!
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Capricorn and it totally fits me.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? so tired and moody. nausea but i dont puke really.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? feels a lot harder but i think i could just be a big baby. i have friends with ROUGH pregnancies and i don't even compare to that. so i should just shut my trap.
Rant/Rave/Questions? people.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Aquarius. I think it is fun to read, and what i do read tends to line up with me. but i am also on the last day so the next sign whatever it is i relate to that too. i don't put too much into it, just for funsies. i think birth order says more about you.

8+6 due 11/2 but having repeat c-section last week of october.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Still nauseaus, so tired, emotional, and my brain is mush.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
I don't remember having such bad pregnancy brain last time.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
One of my coworkers drove me absolutely nuts before I got pregnant and now I have zero patience and I dont know how im going to make it 7 more months without absolutely freaking out on her.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time?
I'm a Pieces. I think they are a waste time. Which is pretty funny because my grandma was an astrologer with her own radio show and everything haha.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? starting to feel better...less nauseous (knock on wood) and a little less exhausted.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? slightly worse, but I think its more because I have a busy toddler to run after this time
Rant/Rave/Questions? I had the option of finding out little beans sex with my blood draw this week, we'll find out in 2 weeks whether its a boy or girl, which is perfect because its right before we go to my parent's for Easter! I didn't find out until I was 20 weeks last time, so I'm super stoked
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a capricorn, which I think is pretty right on for my personality. If I happen on a horoscope, I'll read it, but I won't go out of my way.
@mrs_fogue omg for my last two appointments, I haven't seen the doctor until an hour after my appointment time...its just soooooo annoying! Oh and I'm always starving by the time I'm done too.
May Siggy Challenge: Parenting Fails
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Tired, so moody....so very moody, sore boobs, sore back, bloated, dizzy spells, nausea
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So far it's easier other than the morning sickness and dizzy spells. No that's a lie, it's harder haha! This is the first time I've been sick because of pregnancy
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nah.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Gemini, yes for the most part it is very fitting haha! I love reading horoscopes

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
lots of nausea and gas off and on...feel like a giant gas bubble
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
a little worse I think but it's been a bit. I don't remember feeling sick so often
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Inching closer and closer to the start of my Makena injections and having the NP today remind me that they're a giant "pain in the ass" for the mom because of how thick the medication is and how big the needle is is very reassuring....Definitely will deal with it because I want the baby to stay in as long as possible but it just sucks a bit.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm a Pisces and I have no idea. Maybe sometimes but I don't pay too much attention to zodiac signs or horoscopes, sometimes I'll read them for fun
How far along are you/when is your due date? 12w5d
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Mostly just heartburn and RLP these days. Feeling pretty good. I have been a little moody the last two days lol.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? This one feels different than with DD. More symtoms early on. It's going faster, because I don't have time to just dwell on being pregnant all the time lol.
Rant/Rave/Questions? We had our 12 week appointment today and finally got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time! My OB doesn't listen to heartbeat before 12 weeks (we saw it at our first ultrasound, but he didn't try and listen). Baby was running away from the doppler lol. It took them a minute (felt like FOREVER) to find the baby, but the doctor finally did and started laughing at how much baby was moving around in there. It was a great checkup! My NT scan is Monday!
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? I'm Sagittarius, but I honestly have no idea about what that is supposed to mean lol. Never read my horoscope.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I'm having some wicked caffeine withdrawals after I've given in. I mean, can't a woman have a root beer?? Damn! So I'm looking all over the house for my "fix" afterwards! Granola bars, Rice Krispies, sugared Chex..nothing. I just want chocolate and a root beer!! This is like my first pregnancy all over again.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
^^
morning sickness was way more severe, but thankfully subsided at 9 weeks on the dot. Thank you Lord!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
My neighbors suck! If it weren't for their dirtbikes, late night home construction adventures, and working on their POS, lawn-mower-quality cars, my property would be so peaceful and pleasant. Funny how a wonderful place it can be ruined by rude people.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time?
I'm a Taurus and boy oh boy does someone know my number!! Fits me to a T. Although I don't believe in mediums, astrology, etc. this zodiac sign hits the nail on the head! Stubborn, passionate, reliable - that's me!
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Gassy all the time oh so gassy. Gross, but back acne is out of control.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty similar.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Love that my dr did a growth appt last week. Kinda wishing that he would do another one next week.
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Scorpio, just read the traits off to Hubby who says I match half of them. Don't read them, they are a waste of time.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Gas, gas and more gas, nausea is much better, still absurdly tired
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Eerily similar...weird, but i get a migraine every pregnancy at EXACTLY 8 weeks, 2 days and then no other headaches for the rest of the pregnancy. Cravings are different (1st: citrus 2nd: dairy this one: watermelon and watermelon flavored things
Rant/Rave/Questions? Our landlord is a plumber, yet hubs keeps insisting on fixing our broken toilet himself (notice I said KEEPS as in, it keeps breaking). It's getting annoying to literally plunge the toilet every time we flush it AND clean up the water when it randomly decides to keep running for no reason AND I fell on the floor the other night because the stupid toilet seat FELL OFF while I was sitting on it...yeah, we need a new toilet
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Leo...and I don't really read them so idk.
- 11 weeks today! (October 19th)
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
- some nausea but nowhere near as bad as with my DD.. I haven't even thrown up yet which is so weird! And I'm feeling excited!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
- whoops I kind of answered that in the last question.. to sum it up... MUCH BETTER THIS TIME
Rant/Rave/Questions?
- nervous that this baby's heartrate is still 180.. everything I've read says it's supposed to be getting a bit slower by now.. anyone else have experience with this?
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time?
- Aquarius but I'm not really into that sort of thing
@dajocl they just let their lawn mower engine car run for over an hour in their driveway-which is just outside DD window. It sounds like a go cart that's about to take off to the moon. Hate is my only feeling for them! DD is teething miserably and didn't go down til 945 and she's been rolling around in bed ever since then because of these morons.
10+6 - October 21st
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? guise help me. My MS is out of control. I'm throwing up 3 to 4 times a day and started to drop a tiny bit of weight. I thought things were meant to get easier. I picked up ginger and B6 tablets.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Bloody shithouse. This 2nd time is so much worse.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Anyone found sea bands useful to wear?
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time? Virgo. I think it's a load of crock.
**June Siggy Challenge: You Had ONE Job!**
LO#2 EDD October 18th
Baby will eventually be in current toddler's room, and even though baby will be in our room for first few months all the "stuff" is in toddler's room that I would need - dresser, rocking chair, crib, etc. I know eventually i'm going to need to dismantle the guest room and move her room in there, but sounds daunting for now. How are you guys managing this? We moved her in her own room around 3.5 months, but had access to all the stuff obviously. I'm nervous about not having access to things because toddler will be sleeping/napping etc. x-posted on "questions for STM" as i'm not sure who will see this way down here.
@grkgdss00 We've already moved most of the baby things out of DDs room. I'm planning to make our guest room half nursery so everything will go in there. Other than that 2.0 will be in our room for the first little bit and hopefully this kid will go straight to it's crib. We co-slept with DD and just moved her to her own room/bed this past month which was a long time coming. I don't want to move or rearrange her at all right now.
9+4, due 10/30
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
food and I still aren't on friendly terms, and I'm pretty exhausted by the evening, but doing ok
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
with DS, my first, I had no morning sickness and that is why I'm feeling like this might be another girl
Rant/Rave/Questions?
grrr kids who wake up early! Stay in bed until 6 little people
GTKY: What is your zodiac sign? Do you think it fits you? Do you enjoy reading your horoscope or just think they are a waste of time?
I'm a Virgo and while I am organized and analytical I don't put much stock in that stuff.
