Re: AMA Check-in 4-28
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet? Peanut butter. Like a LOT.
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom? I'm hoping that being AMA will help me have more patience than I would have had in my 20's. But, I'm concerned that I won't have as much energy for activities as other moms.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO? I hope that the baby gets his quiet, contemplative nature and my eyes.
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet? No but I tried eating some pickles to see if it made me feel more pregnant. It didnt...
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom? Will I ever meet my grandchildren...? Am I too old to give my baby a sibling? The fastest IVF turnaround I can foresee would have me delivering a second at 43.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO? My fair and fine hair (he's dark and a total gorilla and I'd feel sorry for her if she had excessive body hair) and his intelligence.
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet? I've been craving carbs for weeks
3. Any concerns about being an AMA mom? I was worried so I had the Panorama test done, but everything came back low risk
4. I hope she gets my hair (lot of red in my hair) and DH's laid back personality
1. Any appointments this past week or coming up?
check up on tuesday
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet?
i really want carbs too. and sweets.
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom?
i too had the concern about abnormalities but the MaterniT21 Plus test results made me feel so much better. They are still offering an amnio even though there are no warning signs. they just keep saying there is other random things that they can test for. i am sure they just want to cover their butts, but i thought that was egregious. i am goign to talk to a genetic counselor at my anatomy scan to discuss risks, but voluntarily having an amnio seems ridic.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO?
i hope he gets my sense of humor and my husband's easy-going personality.
1. Any appointments this past week or coming up? I have a check up on Monday.
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet?
I was just wondering today about why I don't have cravings yet!! So, no. None yet.
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom? Thinking about how "old" I'll be when baby is in high school and hoping I don't just give up on disciplining my child and knowing what they're up to.
DH is 40 now (I'm 37). I know he doesn't really want another kid after this. But I'm really, really hoping he'll change his mind. I'd at least like a second.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO?
I hope baby is tall like both of us! I hope baby gets my quiet nature (without the social anxiety part!) mixed with DH's ability to easily talk to people and make them feel comfortable. I also hope baby is an animal lover like me! (Whoops! Didn't read the question well!)
also, i have black hair natually and my son is blonde. there is hope!
2. Craving all the fruit! Especially grapes and oranges. Kinda hoping these cravings stay around ☺️
3. No concerns, my OB had her kids at 40 & 42 without fertility treatments so that is so reassuring to know. Her attitude is awesome. I'm 37 now and 35 with my first.
4. Hoping little one gets my smile and her dad's height.
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet? McDonalds French fries. I want them all the time!
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom? This is my second AMA pregnancy, so I'm not too worried about the pregnancy part. I'm not looking forward to trying to make friends with my kids' friends' parents. I'm hoping we can find something in common when I'm probably 10+ years older than them.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO? I hope they get his confidence. I'm painfully shy and it's made making friends a lifelong struggle for me. I hope they get my ability to cook. SO just can't.
2. Now that we are all in or close to the 2nd trimester, anyone have cravings yet? Not really but I did have my morning coffee today which I didn't want through the entire first trimester.
3. Any concerns about being AMA as pregnant or as a mom? I worry about the higher risk of genetic issues and of the risk of a trickier labor but my day-to-day concern is more about having energy. My first was born when I was 27 and I've had a baby roughly every other year. My body is a lot more out of shape and while I feel okay overall but I do feel worn out. I also struggle sometimes with dealing with the range of needs in my children since they span 14 years.....dealing with teenage angst and moods, the energy of the younger ones, the potty training of the toddler, the teething and diapers of the baby, and then pregnancy.
4. GTKY: What is one thing you hope baby gets from you and one thing from SO? My dimples and my ability to make people feel comfortable. My husband's thick hair, his optimism, and his ability to do just about anything he sets his mind to.
