Re: AMA thread - April!
Any appointments coming up this month? I actually only have one docs appt this month! I am also starting yoga this month, and will probably start interview doulas.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go? Well. Baby is A-ok, whew! I did opt to find out the sex of the baby, but it left me feeling a little stunned. I really thought it was one sex, and it turned out to be the other. It's left me a hot emotional mess, just because my emotions are completely haywire right now and all i do is cry about everything. I'm super ashamed of my response, though. I just feel like because of my age, this is my last baby. (but who really knows?) Either way, i'm a monster and this baby deserves better than me.
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? I really hope this kid gets my knack for math and science. I would love making ALL the trips to the museums!
I’ve been feeling pretty good, a little nausea in the evenings still but super manageable.
My only appointment this month was yesterday - the NT scan and genetic counseling. NT scan looked good, just waiting for my blood work to come back so I can get a complete report. Had blood drawn for the carrier analysis and NIPT (I think that’s what it’s called) - so we’ll know the sex in about a week!
I hope this kid is just healthy, honestly. But it would be nice to have another sports fan so I can watch hockey games again. DH hates it.
How is everyone feeling? Tired and nauseous but thankful because I know it's going ok (had previous losses)
Any appointments coming up this month? Today! Its my 12 week scan . Doing my NT scan and the progenity test today. It's all covered since I'm "old" . That's the positive side to it
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
My 7 and 9 weeks scan went well!
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? My no allergies/eczema/asthma. My son has many food allergies, eczema and seasonal allergies from my DH side. It's been a struggle.
Physical trait: My eyes (for an Asian , it's bigger than my husband's lol.. still small but bigger hahah).
starting to feel better as far as the constant nausea goes, but still pretty exhausted (although that may just be life and not pregnancy)
Any appointments coming up this month?
next appt is 4/19, just regular yup you're pregnant check in
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
We got the results from our screen and all is well
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
hmm...have to think on this one. our kids are all so crazy different and it is just exciting to see their personalities form and recognize different parts of ourselves there as well
Still not great. Eating is a challenge because I never know if I will feel sick after or not. There’s not really a clear pattern to it - some days sugary stuff does it and sometimes it’s heartier foods. Also super emotional lately. I’m 10+6, so hopefully this gets better within a week or so.
Any appointments coming up this month?
My first appointment with my OB office is today. I have gotten ridiculously bad at time management so I’m sitting outside on my phone. The appointment is in an hour. This one is just an ultrasound and then I have one with a dr next Friday.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
I haven’t had anything except ultrasounds to make sure baby is there and still has a hb (history of m/c, so I was getting extra monitoring at an RE office. All my tests came back normal, so they didn’t really do anything, but the extra ultrasounds were reassuring).
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? My calves, haha. My husband has skinny little calves no matter how much he works on them and he hates it. That’s been his wish for all of our kids and seeing how much it bothers him, I don’t want it to be an issue for our kids too.
How is everyone feeling? Much better, starting to feel like myself again, but now I'm stressed with feeling overwhelmed by everything I've been letting go for the last two months. My house is disgusting and I have so much work I've been ignoring.
Any appointments coming up this month? I have one April 13th. I thinks its just the generic weight, blood pressure, heart beat type or appointment.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go? We just got our results yesterday! No chromosomal abnormalities, and we found out its a girl!
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? My independence!
Congrats on finding out everything is normal and a girl!!! How exciting!!!
@jengibre_zorro I never thought about this until my son had food allergies to all nuts, eggs, dairy, chickpeas, sunflower since 4 months old. It's soooo hard flying and eating out. I home cook everything . Nursing with that diet was really hard . He's grown out of everything but nuts now so it's easier and less stressful.
Still feeling good. I'm watching the scale like a hawk and still eating healthy-ish because I'm so afraid of getting GD!!
Any appointments coming up this month?
I have one on the 13th (genetic counseling and ultrasound) and one on the 20th (regular 12 week checkup).
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
Not yet. EDD 10/31 -
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
Definitely no allergies...a healthy HAPPY baby would be nice. I had one with colic and he was a very unhappy infant.
I’m feeling pretty good at 11w2d. Random bouts of nausea and extremely tired at times. Sore boobs have faded for the most part.
Any appointments coming up this month?
I have my first prenatal appointment tomorrow! Excited/nervous. I just want to hear the heartbeat and be able to finally spill the news!
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
I’m not sure.. I’ll go with sensitivity! Both my boys are so sensitive and sweet. I can’t wait to see this little ones personality unfold into their very own
Feeling pretty good. Nausea is gone, my gag reflex is mostly back to normal. If the day isn’t crazy, I can stay up a bit later.
Any appointments coming up this month?
Just a regular check-in with my OB on 18th.
I’m also starting the process of finding/interviewing doulas. I have two meetings set up, and a third was supposed to call last night. She didn’t call. A fourth responded to my email, but called me the wrong name and something about her message just got under my skin; so that was an easy no.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
Went well, the NIPT came back with no chromosomal abnormalities. I also got to see Blast on an ultrasound, and they had a normal heartbeat (166).
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
A sense of personal responsibility.
Yeah, one of the things that pregnancy has brought out in me is a lot less willingness to put up with other people’s shit.
I literally had a lawyer I contacted (seriously- who should be more detail oriented) misspell both my first and last names in a response email. Just like with the doula, it was clearly written in the original email’s closing. Nope. Nope. All the nope.
For the one who didn’t call last night, I’m willing to wait a day or two to see if she follows up. I understand things come up, and since it was a call during the evening, there wasn’t a negative impact to my schedule.
I had my blood results return normal! We didn't find out sex intentionally because we're having a baby sex party in two weeks! Nothing crazy, a little potluck and some kind of reveal orchestrated by my best friend in front of a few close friends. I can't wait! Next appointment tomorrow, just a check up. Also starting week 14 tomorrow, so officially done with first trimester! I just hope this kid inherits the ability to sleep. The 2.5 year old still doesn't sleep through the night!
I finally stopped feeling nauseous all the time like a day ago. It's been better, at least. Still too tired to lift even a grocery bag, much less my 3 year old.
Any appointments coming up this month?
Ultrasound for NT next Wed. After that we will tell people more widely, including our daughter.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
Genetic bloodwork came yesterday, all clear and it's a boy, which I was 100% convinced of anyway.
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
This sounds maybe weird, but I'm a feminist and I am very anxious about how to raise a boy who doesn't get trapped in the toxic masculinity bullshit. So I hope he gets some "wokeness", as the kids say, from me.
Any appointments coming up this month? 4/20 bloodword
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go? perfect
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? Being artistic and athletic. My son isn't a fan of art stuff

Independence...I think (this could be a double edged sword)
How is everyone feeling?
Still a little tired and nauseous at night, but it’s getting better.

A few. OB appointment next week, prenatal massage the 14th, perinatal ultrasound Apr 25, then u/s every two weeks because twins.
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go?
I had the NT ultrasound today (all clear x2) which showed lower risk twins than we thought, and a fetal echocardiogram that showed both have normal major cardiac structure (chambers and great vessels). We’ll do a repeat in May to look for fine details.
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you?
All three kids have DHs blue eyes. Mine are green, so it would be neat to see some green eyes around here.
Or my love of theatre!!!
How is everyone feeling? Feeling pretty good ! the fatigue is starting to go away for the most part and I skipped ( knock on wood ) a lot of the morning sickness but every now and again I feel super sick but not enough to actually be sick . Small spurts - totally worth it ! I Love being pregnant
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go? This is where I am having a little bit of a hard time . . I had my screening ultrasound on March 22nd - they said it may take 10 days to get the results . I called my doctor last week and they said they hadn't received the results yet . I called yesterday to the ultrasound clinic and they said they faxed the results on the 23rd . 1.) STILL so anxious for the results ! Really hope baby is happy and healthy and growing more than anything and 2.) My doctors kinda really sucks with following up with me or answer their phones so I can make an appointment . I asked to be referred to an OBGYN but he said he can't until 20 weeks .
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? I hope my child is really happy and loves to laugh . . oh AND loves fishing and outdoorsy stuff
yes the one thing i want for my kid is to be happy too
Had my 16 week appt last Friday and they did a blood draw for a spina bifida test. I don't remember this with my last two, is it AMA related? Did y'all have this done also?
Any appointments coming up this month? 20 week u/s and midwife visit today!
I think most of us had some kind of 1st trimester screening - how did it go? opted out of any of the 1st tri screening. Going to see what the 20 week u/s brings.
What is one trait you hope your child inherits from you? sense of humor, laid back, pretty good health.
