1st tri check-in July 24

kaseycoco

Welcome to those who are new to this board!! 

This is a weekly check-in for those in their 1st trimester: weeks 1 through the end of week 13. We've all gone through a lot to get to this point, so congratulations and best of luck to all of you over the next several months! 

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  

3. When is your next appointment?  

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have?

Note: When you graduate up to the 2nd Trimester (woo hoo!!), write a quick post letting us know you are leaving. I want to keep the list updated, but don't want to delete names prematurely!                

Mommies to be:  

*If you wrote an estimate on your EDD and it changed, just tag me when it changes so that I can update. Thanks ladies!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  

Tomorrow will be 9 weeks. 2/27/18

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  

Still hardly any, if I hadn't had 3 ultrasounds showing a baby growing I wouldn't believe I'm pregnant, but I'm grateful to be feeling well.

3. When is your next appointment?  

First OB appointment on Thursday.

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  

This is my first week NOT going to the RE and it's a little weird transitioning to less frequent appointments. I'm also happy to not have to wake up at 5:30 and spend 1 hour+ each week in the waiting room of my RE.

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have?

I haven't gotten this far yet, but I've been thinking about which one to use when I get there. I'm hoping to get some hand-me-down items from my sister-in-law,  but am not sure where to start.

Oh man not yet, but I'd love to in the future!

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this board, i was active on the TTC boards for awhile (not recently). My history is in my siggy! I'm barely pregnant lol but excited to be here!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  

4w2d EDD April 1, 2018

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  

Just intermittent cramping like I'm going to get AF

3. When is your next appointment?  

I have my third beta on Thursday, then I guess It's more "official"

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  

First beta was really low at 48 (14dpo) and the nurse was really negative about it and basically said it would be a chemical. Today it was 111 (16dpo) so that's good..hoping for another double on Thursday. Took 3 FRERs and they're all super dark BFPs.

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have?

I haven't thought that far ahead yet  

Thanks for having me!

@kaseycoco - i believe that this is my last check-in on the 1st tri board cause i will be 14 weeks on friday!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  I am 13w5d, and due date is 1/25/18

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  still having some bad nausea days, but headaches, fatigue, and heartburn are the front runners at the moment.

3. When is your next appointment? Had NT scan #2 yesterday cause one twin wasn't cooperating last week...except yesterday neither of them were cooperating very much! OB did get the measurements she needed though...lol. Next appointment is the anatomy scan on 8/24...

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  I have been craving so much sour and sweet. Like, sour patch kids, and italian ices/popsicles/icy pops....yummm!

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have? I am making a registry! So far I'm using Buy Buy Baby for most things, and Babies R Us for a handful of things (i've heard horror stories about their return policies with registries and other stuff so I would rather not have to deal with them that much if possible)...One thing that is a bit frustrating is that all the registry lists are for having 1 baby, and with twins, i know i don't need 2 of everything, but it would be nice for some guidance on things like, do i need 1 or 2 swings? bouncers? etc...

Hi!  I moved over here from June IVF  This is the furthest we've made it so far, trying to enjoy it now that we've reached 8 weeks!

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  8 weeks 1 day - 3/7/18

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  Mainly just constantly feeling like I got hit by a truck, I'm in bed by 9 every night! Little bit of nausea.

3. When is your next appointment?  Graduated today from my RE, first OB appt is in 2 weeks!

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  I've had spotting of various levels and colors (tmi) but my doctor has assured me it is normal, but I've been a lunatic basically because of it.

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have?   Feels too early for us personally based on history, but that is definitely the plan in a few more months. 

thucks

Sorry late to the party

1. How far along are you? What is your EDD?  10w tomorrow 

2. Which oh-so-lovely pregnancy symptoms are you having?  I'm extremely exhausted. Mid day I feel at my worse. Nausea and just down right blah

3. When is your next appointment?   Aug 11th with the OB office 

4. Anything else you'd like to share?  This pregnancy is different than with my twins. With my twins I was like @kaseycoco and felt nothing. 

QOTW:

1. Are you making a baby registry? If so, what website are you using (or did you use with your first)? Any unexpected "must have" items you will be asking for/glad you have? 

I haven't started one yet but I will do Babies R Us again and this time it will be quit different. Less little things like blankets and sheets (you really don't need all those that are recommended) More things like floor mats and highchair booster seats, cloth diapers.
