What's your EDD? Apparently 6/23 but I haven’t been to the doc yet.
How are you feeling? Other than being super tired and my blood sugars are running lower, fine. I travel this week, so I’m hoping the nausea doesn’t start until next week (or never....)
Any appointments this week/coming up? still waiting for high risk to approve my referral. Which is dumb, because this is my second child with this practice. But when I first called, they were like “we need to see you right away!” Yeah, okay.
Rants/Raves? see above. Also, maternity pants don’t have front pockets. Boo.
Questions? does this app drain your battery life too?
GTKY: what's your favorite brand of bottled water? tap water, y’all
What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.) dont care.
@zamora_spin FX for your beta today. Keep us posted on results tomorrow.
@profmcgonagall Sorry you aren't feeling well! FX all goes well at your appointment tomorrow!!
@ChloandCoco FX all goes will with your draw on Wednesday.
I'm feeling pretty normal. I do get tired really early still - like in bed by 9:00 and fall asleep immediately. Appetite is low, except for candy - but I think that's just because I'm surrounded by Halloween candy. No appointments yet. I'm still trying to find out if I can get in with the OB my Gyno rec'd. It is such a crazy process here and the demand is so high. FX I get her because my Gyno really made it seem like she was the best choice.
What's your EDD? June 26th. My family already calls June the second Christmas. We've got 7 June birthdays in my family. Little Bear (our nickname) will make 8.
How are you feeling?
Good, nervous, scared, happy, everything
Any appointments this week/coming up?
Just contacted my Dr office. Waiting to hear back.
Rants/Raves?
Questions?
A million probably. I feel totally unprepared. I wanted to be KU so badly I never thought it would happen or wouldnt allow myself to research so now I have no clue what I'm doing. I take a lot comfort from knowing I have this Amazing group of women to turn to here. This can also be my R/R.

What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.) I like this check in a lot. It's nice to read what the other ladies are going through and since I know my EDD it's easy for me to know which thread to go to. I like the ticker change gif party. I think it's been ironed out beautifully. I do wish on the symptoms thread the poster would write how far long they are at the beginning of the post. Just a quick 5+1 or whatever. It would really be helpful as a FTM to compare symptoms. I think @LaceyBee522 had mentioned it in a previous thread.
@oneblessedmess@katykat03 I just called OB and got scheduled for my first appointment on 11/29. I think I might be showing by then! 10.5 weeks. I'll be 1/4 through pregnancy.
What's your EDD? I'm honestly not sure as I never had a period (have an 18-month-old). I got a negative on a Wondfo on Oct 12 and a positive on Oct 17. If I had to guess based on that and when we DTD, I would guess June 22 or 23.
How are you feeling? Pretty normal still! Tired, but I have two young kids so I'm always tired. I am starting to have some minor aversions. (Generally in first tri all I can stomach is crackers/bagels/etc with a huge meat/veggie aversion).
Any appointments this week/coming up? I am having a sonogram on Nov 2nd to make sure everything looks good and to try to determine more exact dates. I'm pretty excited that I get an early sono this time around!
Rants/Raves? I hate being due at the end of the month! I was due with my second on April 12 and he was born on April 18, and out of my bump group (a smaller group that had migrated to facebook), I was the second or third to LAST person to give birth. WTAF! I feel like virtually everyone was induced early, even moreso than with my first pregnancy. Knowing that I have gone a week overdue with both my pregnancies, I'm not looking forward to the very end... I was so jealous watchin EVERYONE ELSE have their babies and feeling like mine would never come! Especially when many of them were due 1-2+ weeks after me!
Questions? None really right now! Just trying to catch up since I just joined and getting to know people!
GTKY: what's your favorite brand of bottled water? I'm anti-bottled water. I'm sort of a crazy environmentalist haha.
What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.) I like it! I think it will help me to get to know the people due close to the same time as me.

What's your EDD? 27 June (based on IVF 5dt on 9th October)
How are you feeling? Slightly nauseous and tired.
Any appointments this week/coming up? First scan is scheduled for 7th November so I'm nervously waiting for that.
Rants/Raves? None for now.
Questions? The only thing I keep wondering is when I should tell our daughter - so when do you plan to tell your children / family members? I've told my Mum but that's about it. Think we are going to wait till the scan but I'm dying to tell my daughter.
GTKY: what's your favorite brand of bottled water? Volvic
What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.) Happy to do things this way.
@llamamama14 Really hoping the weeks fly by for you! I'm with @katykat03 though, patience is not my strong suit, at least in this situation!
@Lolalipsy We've already told our DD but she's only two so she doesn't really get it lol. Last time we each picked someone to tell early- this time DH told his brother (and by extension, his brother's wife) and I'm telling my sister when I have my first ultrasound at 8 weeks. The rest of our families will find out at Christmas when I'll be just out of first tri.
How are you feeling? Better yesterday and today I was feeling nauseous for about a week and a half. Also just go to over a cold!
Any appointments this week/coming up? Saw my dr tonight to just confirm pregnancy. Midwife apt scheduled for end of Nov.
Rants/Raves? N/A
Questions?

What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.) Never did any of these in my old BMB but based on what I'm seeing I think I like this format best. It puts you closer with people on the same developmental stage a second you.
@oneblessedmess That sounds like a good plan. My cousin is like my sister so not telling her is killing me but I think to at least wait till the scan is sensible.

How am I feeling? HOLY mood swings! And exhausted. Nothing too intense yet.
No appointments yet until Nov 15th!
@Starla487 yes! My battery goes from 75% to 33% after just a few minutes on this app! (I guess that’s a rant)
I don’t do bottled water so I guess I prefer tap but I binge on sparkling water while pregnant. Any brand. Life saver.
@starla487 Fingers crossed nausea doesn't hit while you travel (or ever!)
I don't have an appointment until November 13. Seems so far away!
