@baker1jm2 yes! I've been feeling for a week or so now. Nothing consistent but when I was using the doppler at home I felt a bump and checked for the heart beat where I felt it and got a solid read on the heart beat!
@baker1jm2 yep! I started feeling the tiniest of movements at 11weeks, I would have never figured it out if this weren't my 4th pregnancy lol
Now that I'm 15 weeks, I'm definitely feeling movement daily. I put on regular jeans the other day that are too tight and as I was driving to the store, I felt a couple good kicks right on my pants line. Guess baby wasn't thrilled with feeling squished lol. I've also heard them kick the doppler a few times
How far along are you/when is your due date? 13 + 2 (10/16 EDD) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Mildly nauseous at times and still exhausted. I just napped during my lunch break to help me get through the rest of the day. A little emotional/moody this week but overall I can't complain. How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? This one has been so much harder. My first pregnancy was a breeze and I had very little anxiety. With this one I have already had both flus (a & b with 103 fevers), a gallbladder scare, a trip to the ER, and three episodes of bleeding. Needless to say I am an anxious mess for my next ultrasound to make sure baby didn't get damaged- especially from the fevers. Rant/Rave/Questions? See above for my rant. I have to get my anxiety under control because it consumes me some days. GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Ckeaning the bathtub and shower! I hate it!! Are there any good tips to clean it more efficiently??
@erink7211 I'm sorry it's been so rough. Fingers crossed for a good ultrasound soon.

@jessafishy thank you! We have a sneak peak in two weeks so I'm hoping it will settle my mind a little. Until then, I wonder if getting a Doppler would help. Maybe I should look into that.
How far along are you/when is your due date? 12w6d - 10/19
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? The symptoms that seem to be staying are the burping and RLP. I'm still tired towards the afternoon but that's because I'm not drinking afternoon coffee maybe. Occasion nausua at night.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? this one is so different. So very different. I never threw up with this pregnancy but I did with both girls. I also feel like my skin looks better with this one and I'm not as emotional as with the girls.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Rave - It's been consistently sunny and warm. This helps my mood big time.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Like @mrs_fogue Cleaning the bathroom!

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? FX I *think* the MS is easing up but I won't get too cocky because it has come and gone often. The nausea is lessening and I actually feel good today.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Sucks hairy stinky balls in comparison to the first.
Rant/Rave/Questions? Feck. I keep forgetting to take my prenatal vitamins.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I hate making the bed. I find putting on the fitted sheet exhausting because of our thick mattress and I hate changing the doona cover even though i know that rolling trick, I still friggin' hate it. So I only change the sheets every fortnight.
@buttercream_frosting if it makes you feel any better, I haven't taken my prenatals in over a month. And I honestly don't intend to start back up. Never really took them with any of my pregnancies. Bad mom right here
Also, what is this "change the sheets" thing that you speak of?
How far along are you/when is your due date? 13w4d- Oct. 15th
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Symptoms are calming down this week thank God. Still pretty tired and having occasional RLP but nothing too crazy. I think I might be feeling flutters occasionally but nothing consistent.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Fairly similar, maybe a little more nauseous this time around than I was before but still no vomiting. I vomited once each of my previous pregnancies around this time so I'm hoping that isn't the case this time. Rant/Rave/Questions? Both of my girls are getting sick and I think I'm getting it..and my go to cold medicine is not pregnancy approved . Also I'm only 2.5 weeks away from starting my weekly injections, it really seems like time is flying by a bit! GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I'm not a huge fan of folding laundry...or hanging up clothes. I need to find a new system for my girls' clothes because they're sharing a dresser right now and it's exploding, but I really don't want to hang things up! Trying to decide what might be the best alternative other than buying another dresser.
How far along are you/when is your due date? 11weeks + 2 days/oct 31
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? really really tired! Im so ready for 2nd tri energy! Oh, and my feet have started the whole "imma be swollen now so you cant fit into any shoes" - yay?
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? same - think around this time, my feet started swelling and i was beyond exhausted. Except im definitely showing now.
Rant/Rave/Questions? im still wearing sweaters and scarfs at work to hide the bump cuz some of my shirts are waaay tighter than i thought theyd be. Im telling my boss on monday - so wish me luck. Hope im still able to do some ot to save the time for maternity leave. Im praying he lets me do enough so i can be gone for at least 3 months.
GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? im with others who say everything. Id rather work 2 or 3 jobs and pay someone to clean. Thankfully, dh picks up my slack. I do like to fold laundry tho - there is something very peaceful about it.
How far along are you/when is your due date? 14w2d / Oct 10th What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I still haven't gotten my energy back, don't get me wrong its better, but its still not where it used to be. I'm also very emotional/mood swingy How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? about the same, but showing earlier this time Rant/Rave/Questions? We're going to my parent's this weekend for Easter and I finally get to tell them! Which means I finally get to tell everyone at my office and all of our extended family and friends GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I'm just not good at cleaning...we have gone through our budget to figure out how to get our expenses down as much as possible in preparation for buying a bigger home, but I cling onto my housekeeper. I just can't imagine having to clean our entire home after working full-time and commuting an hour each way 5 days a week. My husband also does all of the cooking and loads the dishwasher, so my only real chores are unloading the dishwasher and doing the laundry and some light cleaning/maintaining in between the house keeper. I'm spoiled, I know, so I really can't complain.
Hi everyone! My app is being stupid this week! I can't love anything or reply to posts. Super frustrating! I've tried everything and it won't work. So I had to sign in online.

I barely had any sickness with this one, just a couple weeks. My biggest thing this time is worrying SO MUCH! I don't have any reason to but I am. I had a midwife appointment yesterday and we finally heard the heartbeat! (We always saw it in the ultrasound but hadn't heard it yet) Helped put my worries at ease Rant/Rave/Questions?

GTKY: What chore do you absolutely hate doing? cleaning the shower! It is just so annoying and scummy I feel like I need a shower after doing it!
