2. How are you feeling? 
Nauseous, pukey, headachey (probably from dehydration from all the puking)
3. Any appointments this week? 
No ultrasound is next week
4. Rants, raves, questions? 
Can I be puking less now? Maybe just not allll the food? And indigestion can that go away too
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit?
Is it weird that thinking of going out made me gag?

@drablnd I've noticed that if I sleep well, my nausea is pretty subdued the following morning/day.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks... cherry/olive 
2. How are you feeling? pretty good, symptoms are pretty much the same... sore/heavy boobs, not a big appetite and can't stomach any meat even though I love meat, tired, frequent peeing, MS a little bit though it was much worse a few weeks ago. Weirdly, now I seem to get a bit of a sour stomach right before bed. 
3. Any appointments this week? 10 week heartbeat check next Thurs!
4. Rants, raves, questions? none at the moment!
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit? this time of year I will rock leggings, strappy sandals, and a long (butt covering) top with my white denim jacket

txmomma16

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks - Raspberry
2. How are you feeling? Cranky usually. Poor H. I've had such a short string lately. Other than that, exhaustion and some sore boobs, but minimal nausea. 
3. Any appointments this week? Not this week. 
4. Rants, raves, questions?  Why can't my dogs be those sweet dogs that realize I'm pregnant and just cuddle sweetly, why do they have to be hyper excited and jump all over me all of the time. I love my dogs, but we might have to work on that one... 
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit? Jeans, cute top and my best boots. :-)

Just saying 'hi' - I had an ultrasound last Friday (my OB did one early since I had to come in for IV fluids) and my date changed from Dec 6 to Dec 9, so I'm now a Saturday ticker change. Sad to feel like I went back in pregnancy, lol

lijuan09

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks, cherry 
2. How are you feeling? Better than last week with the tooth pain but the nausea flared up pretty badly yesterday.
3. Any appointments this week? Saw the OB for the first time on Monday. He is super nice. He told me to cut back on carbs though, which is difficult because I need carbs first thing in the morning to prevent an upset stomach.
4. Rants, raves, questions? Not really, I am glad to be at 9 weeks because I also had to go "backwards" from where I thought I was due to measurement
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit? Haha, on the rare date night I will wear jeans and a nice top with some boots or flats.

pink flamingo

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks 
2. How are you feeling? Like crap! 24/7 I feel nauseated, extremely weak, tired and I've had a mild headache for days now
3. Any appointments this week? No not this week 
4. Rants, raves, questions? Nope 
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit? Well I love dressing up and wearing heels

peachy13

@lijuan09 interesting about carbs! Did your doc give any specific reason? I've been eating more than usual carbs for the same reason as you. It's basically the only safe thing to eat at this point.

vvitchhazel

@lijuan09 @peachy13 My OB told me not to stress if carbs are helping me get through the day. I was surprised too... I was expecting her to tell me to watch what I was eating since I've gained a bunch of weight since I had DD. She said just to make sure I'm snacking on cheese, nuts, and meat through out the day to balance the carbs.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?   8 weeks, raspberry
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good.  Dense boobs, trouble sleeping, morning sickness seems to come at lunch time now. 
3. Any appointments this week? Blood work on Friday to check my progesterone levels, hopefully I can stop the shots soon, ultrasound 5/9
4. Rants, raves, questions? None at the moment. 
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit? Jeans and a cute top

@lijuan09 @vvitchhazel @peachy13
Ya I can't stomach anything the rare thing I do get down is carbs. I lost 3lbs last week. If my doc told me no carbs I am not sure what I would do! I am hoping morning sickness will lessen and I can be more diet diligent with lean meats and lots of veggies but it is totally unrealistic right now. I am most concerned with staying hydrated right now. 
Did your doctor explain why? 

peachy13

@baevn meat is pretty much out of the question for me (just thinking about chicken or steak or fish makes me gag) and there are times where I feel guilty for not eating healthier but I just really can't. I say eat what you can eat.. if something is turning you off, avoid it. I did finally manage to eat some veggies at dinner last night for the first time in a while. I cut up a bell pepper and dipped it in hummus and also had celery with peanut butter. Then I put some lettuce, feta, and hummus into a pita wrap and had that too. It felt good putting some veg into my diet again! It took a while to get there though.. I would not have been doing this a week or so ago. Hang in there!

1. How many weeks are you? 7
What size is baby? blueberry

2. How are you feeling? 
This morning I felt tired and like garbage.. I didn't sleep well and I don't do well on little sleep without being preggers.. I felt tired all day at work (maybe it's work)... Got to the gym (with my gym partner, I can't let her know yet).. We benched (I went a bit lighter than I did last week, funny how cautious I feel now that I know). Left feeling completely energized. I went to get groceries and took a pair of pants in to be hemmed. I bought them when I was 4 weeks pregnant but I didn't know it yet. I'm determined to wear them before I can't! 

3. Any appointments this week? 
Nope.. Waiting for my doctor to call with results from my blood test. They took a lot of blood haha! 

4. Rants, raves, questions? 
Any antihistamines I can take? Pharmacist couldn't find me any but I'm allergic to my cats and they want to be all over me now.. 
Super thirsty. 
Told 2 of my besties at work today. They screamed haha!! I swore them to secrecy but it has solidified my decision not to tell anyone.. maybe ever.. haha. for some reason I have no desire for any attention. 
Lunch is the worst meal of the day for me. 

5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit?
Black dress pants and a nice shirt.. I'm not sure. I haven't really enjoyed wearing jeans lately.. I haven't worn a skirt in 12 years since I left a very restrictive church. 

ShyTonia

1. How many weeks are you?
9 weeks
What size is baby? 
Cherry/Green Olive
2. How are you feeling? 
Nausea is back, mainly at night. Finally got the hungry feeling back over the weekend so that's been nice. I'm a foodie so not wanting to eat for a couple weeks was really bothering me lol. Tired also, so trying to rest as O can. 
3. Any appointments this week?
No lol 
4. Rants, raves, questions? 
My emotions are all over the place. My poor DH, I get annoyed with him just being in the same room with me sometimes. It's so bizarre. But it's helpful that I can recognize that it's the hormones and try and get myself out of that feeling lol. Looking forward to stopping the Progesterone in hoping that my hormones won't be as wacky. Lol 10 more days!
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit?
Im in bed by 730-8, so no at night out fit, but I'm a early riser and I love my favorite tee with jeggings and a pair of "Jesus" sandals.

@peachy13 @baevn The doctor is concerned that I might develop gestational diabetes because my previous OB suspected PCOS (but never diagnosed). He is putting me on Metformin at the beginning of 2nd tri. I was previously taking a low dose which helped regulate my cycle and ultimately made TTC possible. He didn't tell me NO carbs, he just told me to watch them.  

grochril

@disneyfan0511 We'll miss you! 

@dilbert890 not sure if this would help but have you tried Claritin or Benadryl for your cat allergy?

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 

- 9 weeks, Cherry Size!
2. How are you feeling? 

- Mainly tired still, sore boobs-- I've been having some cravings to citrus fruit, blackberries and strangely Rita's Italian Ice LOL. 
3. Any appointments this week? 

- OB US on Friday.  Can't wait!
4. Rants, raves, questions? 

- Been working at a tradeshow all week for work and my feet are absolutely killing me.  All I want to do is curl up in the bed and massage my toes at the end of the day.

- Also been dealing with this for over a week, but I contracted some sort of upper respiratory infection from a colleague last week (fml) and had to get the bloodpanel done.  My results came back today and no surprise a heightened level of WBC and other parameters that indicated an infection.  Does anyone know if this would have an impact on the baby's development? 
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit?

- Depends on season for me-- Spring/Summer I love dresses.  Fall/winter-- Jeans with booties and loose flowy top. 

LittleKick

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I was 6 weeks yesterday (Wednesday) and baby is the size of a ladybug or blueberry depending on the app I use although both seem very different in sizes to me?? 
2. How are you feeling? Ok at the moment, I'm shocked I've not been sick yet but today is the 1st day I've felt slightly icky 
3. Any appointments this week? Not that I know of, I'm still waiting to hear back about a booking in appointment 
4. Rants, raves, questions? Don't have any at the moment 
5. GTKY: What is your go-to night out outfit?night out? I'm a mother of 3 soon to be 4 we don't have nights out unless kids are in tow 

peachy13

@LittleKick nausea hit me the day I was 6 weeks preg! 

LittleKick

@peachy13 I'm 6.2 today and apart from some gagging at certain smells (mainly my sons dirty diapers) I'm fine

dilbert890

@grochril I haven't tried either of those meds. Husband went to the pharmacist and actually asked them. Both boxes said not to take while pregnant. I'll have to ask my doctor when I see her May 29. 

Sorry to hear about your respiratory infection. I hope you feel better soon. 

grochril

@dilbert890 definitely ask your doc.. When I went into my nurse intake appt they gave me a "new mom" book and it lists meds that are approved, both those allergy meds were listed.  In fact I think a couple moms on here take Benadryl now for helping them sleep.  GL! 

dilbert890

@grochril thanks! I will definitely be talking to my doctor

My dogs are the same! I've heard of dogs having that intuition that you are pregnant but mine are definitely oblivious

baevn

Mine got intuitive after around 30 weeks. When I was huge and she would follow me around and lay on my belly and keep my company when I had contractions. (I had irritable uterus so a lot of contractions) 

txmomma16

@raeoutwest @baevn I don't have high hopes for my dogs figuring it out. I had brain surgery three years ago and they weren't the most gentle when I needed it... not sure they got the intuitive gene. Love them tho!!
