TTGP Grad Check In 10/5

mileswithmyles

Hey there TTGPers! How are things going? Let's do a casual check in, but if questions/structure help you, then here are the usual to use as guidelines:

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Any recent/upcoming appointments?

7 weeks tomorrow based on LMP. First scan tomorrow! So excited but so nervous. Had some cramping yesterday which I would consider mild. But DH seems worried. He is a physician, never ever worries about anything, so his reaction has me concerned. Trying to recognize my lack of ability to do anything but wait and see....

@hollieileen I know your husband is a physician but cramping is very, very normal and can even be a sign things are growing. I've had cramping a lot since finding out.

AFM doing well and I think the b6 and unisom is helping the nausea more than my sea bands. Appt Monday went well and had a super quickie US but didn't get to hear the heart beat. Next week we have a dating US and very excited for that.

@charlestonchew that does make me feel better. He is in the ER so he just sees a lot of miscarriages, and not so much of the completely normal aches and pains. Perspective I guess!

9+2 today, still feeling like death warmed over.  I've been taking the Unisom three times a day, which I think is helping maaaaaybe just a little bit, but I still would just love to lie around around watch TV all day.  I had my first appointment on Monday, I'm so so glad I switched to the midwives.  Found out I'm not having twins again, so now I'm just counting down the days to second tri when I can eat again!

@hollieileen I am 8.5 weeks and at 7 weeks my cramping was bad. It was like waking me up at night. I had a TINY bit of spotting with it so I went to the ER and all was fine. They said the cramping was probably just because of round ligament pain. It’s pretty normal and they told me to only worry if it was so bad I felt sick or it was accompanied by bright red bleeding. I hope this helps! It’s so hard in this first trimester not to worry over everything (this is my first pregnancy but I can only hope I’ll worry less once we hit second trimester.

AFM 8.5 weeks. Really tired. Mild nausea throughout the day but nothing major. I actually feel pretty decent most days until I get home from work at 5 and then I feel dead and sick. Some days I feel like I have 20 intense symptoms and some days I feel like I have none. Every time I feel good I panic that something is wrong. It’s super fun. Next apt is 10/26. First one went well and everything was where it should be but I still worry. I haven’t been able to workout like I usually do and that’s just putting me in a bad mood. Really going to make more of an effort to walk this coming week and do some light strength workouts at home. My motivation is gone.

I am 10 weeks, 3 days today.  I am at the point where I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.   The Phenegran is great and now I am only slightly nauseous and only throw up once or twice, but it makes me so tired.   I nap as much as I can and I am in bed early most nights.  I  have no energy to work out and that makes me sad. I see my regular OB on 10/11 and my NT scan is 10/19.  I think we will announce publicly after those appointments.  I am hoping we get an ultrasound at my regular OB and I think I am going to call to ask because I can't remember.

@bjkay22 thanks that does help!

@hollieileen I've been having lots of cramping on and off too. I'm told it's normal! 
@bjkay22 My motivation is also gone. Here's to hoping we find it soon!

AFM I'm 10 weeks 1 day today. I'm taking it day by day this week. Really just waiting for the end of first tri. My nausea is hit or miss. I keep thinking its starting to get better and then it laughs at me and I'll feel awful for a few days. But overall I've noticed my appetite has gotten better and my nausea (besides yesterday) has been lighter overall. I have an appt next Wednesday and I can't wait! Although I'm not sure they are actually doing anything at said appt... but I guess I'll find out when I am getting my NT scan, etc. 

I took a new job and start Oct 16. I will be pretty autonomous in this job but one of the nurses I will work closely with is 7 months pregnant. I wasn't planning on letting them now for a while... I have a feeling it will be hard not to spill the beans if we are talking pregnancy all the time though. We will see!

How far along are you? 8+3

How are you feeling? I have fatigue and I'm completely starving if I don't eat something like every 2 hours. Otherwise feeling good!

Any recent/upcoming appointments? Had our confirmation appointment yesterday and everything looks great! I'm going back in 2 weeks for first tri bloodwork and then NT scan on November 2. 

mileswithmyles

@hollieileen cramping is very normal
@charlestonchew glad the Unisom and B6 are helping!
@sandbar517 I am also counting down the days.  First tri is the pits
@bjkay22 I am also in a bad mood about not working out.  I just don't have the energy.  It takes everything I have to go to work and be "on" for my three year old when I get home
@rachelg777 Congrats on the new job!

How are you feeling? terrible. Haven't been to my office in three weeks because I refuse to vomit there. Working from home and still feeling terrible. Dr. sent prescription for reglan today. Hopefully it helps. 

Any recent/upcoming appointments? nope. not until 12 weeks. Had first US a week ago, saw heartbeat

Will go back and tag everyone in a little. working towards crazy work deadlines, but needed a quick break. But, I  will say....I have a hard time reading the thread "describe how you conceived in 3 words" I know it's not their fault, but the number of "oopsies" or "just one time" responses make me feel some kind of way

sandbar517

@kpc914 ditto on the 3 words thread
