Re: PGAL Check in ~ 5/31 - 6/6
5w4d based on O. Size of a nerd candy.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
This week is really hard for me. Week five is when I've miscarried before so I'm on edge. Every day I make it without bleeding I exhale a bit more.
3. Any appointment updates?
Another U/S next Tuesday. Hoping for more than just a gestational sac, hopefully a heart beat this time.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I got a new truck last Friday. The A/C went out on Saturday. I took it in today and they can't fix it because they're a ford dealer and it's a dodge. They transporting it to their partner dodge dealer and giving me a loaner but c'mon man. I had the dang thing for less than a week!
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
Hawaii, hands down. I love it there.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Not great on either front. Physically I'm feeling pretty run down. The cumulative effect of all my symptoms makes me want to cry. I stopped in at the grocery store this morning on my way to work to pick up lunch and I almost started bawling and ran out. The smells are just too much and make me dry heave. I had to cover my face with my scarf so that people wouldn't see me gagging/heaving as I tried to quickly find some food. By the same token, I'll admit that I am somewhat comforted by having symptoms, at least. Every day I have to fight the fear that I've miscarried. I had a second u/s last week that showed baby measuring bang-on at 7+3 with a HB of 156 but of course now it's been a week so I'm pessimistic again. I have a 3rd u/s on Sat morning.
3. Any appointment updates? Another u/s to help my anxiety on Sat morning.

5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to? Ahhhhh I don't know if I can just pick one! I most prefer to travel in Europe, not a big fan of Asia. If I had to pick, my favourite city would be Florence, Italy.

My Rainbow Baby Boy born 03Jan2019
1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby?
9+1; big as a blackberry
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Mentally I’m feeling pretty good atm, but I still have to get through the rest of 1st tri and NT scan in 2 weeks. Physically I’ve had less of an appetite, been queasy, and for some reason really horny?! That is new for me in pregnancy, trust me, hah.
3. Any appointment updates?
Had my first OB appointment yesterday. Baby measured 2 days ahead based on LMP and HB was 185. LO looks great! I still can’t breathe a sigh of relief because my MMC was discovered at 12 weeks, and the baby had stopped growing at 10.5 weeks. So, not out of the woods yet. But I will enjoy this milestone since it’s a big step towards a healthy baby in my arms at the end of this year.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
After my appointment, when spending time with DD and DH, DD fell on a puzzle piece and broke a peg off of it. She’d gone down hard onto it with the back of her head, and DH and I freaked out. She had an immediate bump and it’s probably her first at 14 months old. (We don’t tape pillows around her to keep her safe but we might as well.)
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to
Either Germany and Austria on a high school trip or our honeymoon in Mexico. I love traveling to different countries and wish I had the money to do it more often.
7w and change.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Better today after my appointment yesterday and seeing the baby doing well twice now.
3. Any appointment updates?
I go back in two weeks since I was seen yesterday
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm annoyed by bloat and weight gain from bloat. I'm annoyed by all day queasiness but I don't puke. I want to jump about 5 weeks and I can't and it feels like it's taking so long to get to the point where I'm not checking the toilet every time I use the restroom.
Also, Redvines are BAD for pgal brain because of the red dye. BAD. Took me a second to remember and calm down.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
I've been to some cool places in the US. I've never traveled out of the country. (one day)
I love New York and seriously considered moving there when I was single and thought I may never get married. DH would never live there.
I love Seattle and how green and gorgeous it is. I would live there in a heartbeat and DH was born and raised there for a while so he would move back. But expensive.

@tosh24 I know what you mean about symptoms being simultaneously comforting and annoying. What gets me the most are perfumes and fragrances. Right now, they’re as offensive to my nose as BO. I’ve opened windows at work during thunderstorms because someone’s wearing overwhelming perfume. I’m glad I do have symptoms nonetheless, although I can’t completely trust them as I still had them when I discovered my loss. Hope you have another great US on Sat!

@dubcompanion Congrats on the awesome u/s! Ugh, head injuries are the worst. Almost nothing gives me more anxiety as a parent than a bump to the head. Sounds like DD will be just fine
@sparkymcgeee glad you've had a couple of good u/s! Always a relief (if only for a little while). I still check the toilet and tp EVERY time I go to the washroom. I feel like a crazy person.

My Rainbow Baby Boy born 03Jan2019
7 weeks today
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
physically, ok. Nausea started kicking in Sunday but still very manageable, my boobs are so sore, and still easily ragey. Mentally depends on the day and the hour. Had our 2nd US this morning and I woke up at 3 and couldn't go back to sleep because I was so anxious.
3. Any appointment updates?
Had 2nd ultrasound today. Should be 7 weeks. Measuring 6w4d and LO had a HB of 128. Go back in 2 weeks for another US.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
This is the first heartbeat we've gotten to hear, so very grateful for that. I usually see the NP at my RE office and really like her but she wasn't there today. The Dr is one of those really awkward people and was not very reassuring at all. He just kept flipping thru the chart and saying hmm, we'll see. That stressed me out!
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
I loved Hawaii and spent 3 months in Seattle and loved it there too. Never been to Europe but would love to go one of these years!
@tosh24 I’m sorry you’re having such a tough time! The symptoms really are reassuring but man are they uncomfortable.
@sparkymcgeee I’m sooooo happy your scans have been going well. Baby is kicking butt in there. Also I hate the checking the toilet thing. I don’t know when or if I stopped doing it with DD. I definitely think the fear lessens after first tri but you kind of keep doing it out of instinct.
@jess5263 ugh I’m sorry your doctor was not reassuring. Sometimes they don’t want to give too much away but saying ‘we’ll see’ is not helpful to someone who is PGAL! Especially when there’s no reason to say that. Measuring within 3 days of what you expect is completely normal!
@ladystout08 Getting past the previous loss milestone is always a huge step. I hope the next week flies by and you see a healthy bean in there!
Initial plan: reply to everyone and make my own post.
Updates plan: go eat cereal to quell nausea that just hit and then probably go to bed to get rid of the horrible migraine. I’ll be back tomorrow with my update!

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Right now not too good, alot of pains in my belly that feel like round ligament but some intense lower back pain that hasn't let up for hours. Hoping it has something to do with all the gas I've been having today and nothing worse... but of course my pgal brain is freaking out.
3. Any appointment updates?
nope
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
morning sickness kicked in today, I was only getting it here and there every other day but today was from the time I woke up onwards all day off and on, so that's good but sucks too. Loving that my irritability seems to have moved to the backburner for this morning sickness to come into play , I really didn't like how short I was with my family. Have any of you experienced some intense lower back pain due to gas?(fx)
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
honestly when I think of this I think of when I was a child and going to Disney with my parents and grandparents. Such a magical time.
@tosh24 I'm sorry about the horrible symptoms.
@dubcompanion I'm so sorry about your DD.
@sparkymcgeee So many hugs girl. I'm having the same issue where I'm nauseous all day but I don't puke.
@jess5263 I'm sorry you didn't get to see your preferred provider.
@BitterBetty12 I hope your migraine goes away quickly.
@missamiissssaa I've been having gas cramps too and it's making me paranoid.
1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby? 7 weeks 4 days, blueberry
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally better today, I had a really good ultrasound (details below). Physically having a lot of nausea but no puking. It's more irritating than anything.
3. Any appointment updates? Ultrasound this morning. Baby is measuring 2 days ahead at 7w6d with a heartbeat of 160 bpm. I'll get progesterone results sometime tomorrow.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Just tired of the nausea. I keep telling myself that it'll all be worth it, but I'm just so done.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to? Ottawa, Canada. I loved how it had the hustle and bustle of the city but outside the city center it was very relaxed. Also, the largest spa in North America is just a short drive from there and it's amazing.

1. How many weeks are you, and how big is baby? 8 weeks 5 days! It's tiny.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally I'm doing ok. Getting a bit anxious for my u/s on Tuesday since it'll have been almost two weeks since my last one. Generally just wish I could get my NIPT done sooner rather than later since that's the last big milestone of first tri and I won't feel comfortable until the results for that are in. Physically I am on the struggle bus. I am always hungry but nothing sounds good, especially healthy food. And I realllly want to be eating healthy since my OB said I can follow weight watchers throughout my pregnancy. The hunger is also reminiscent of 2nd tri with my DD where it comes on suddenly with no warning and if I don't eat right away it's nausea city.
3. Any appointment updates? Last early u/s Tuesday!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? TGIF! I am exhausted. We moved last weekend and have been going non stop. I also had to leave work Wednesday to take DD to the emergency room for some stomach issues she was having. They sent us home and said everything looked ok and we have to follow up with her GI next week. So it's been a crazy week.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I’m feeling a bit better this week mentally. The further along things go the more cautiously optimistic I’m getting. Physically I’m ok, slight nausea but nothing too bad. The fatigue is getting me, especially since I’ve got a very active four year old.
3. Any appointment updates?
Had an ultrasound on Tuesday to monitor the hematoma. It’s still there but the baby is too and looks great.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
We’re dog sitting an adorable beagle until Sunday and it’s been so nice to have a dog around, but I’m also remembering how much I hated sweeping up dog hair.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
Gah so hard to pick. Probably Queensland, Australia, particularly the Daintree rainforest. The Canadian Rockies are a close second. Also the Caribbean. I’ve already told my husband I want a week on an island at an all inclusive for my 40th birthday.
@tosh24 luckily they dealer is footing the bill for everything since I literally just bought it.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Physically I feel really good which makes me nervous but I'm not sure if it is because my last pregnancy was pure hell or what! Mentally I'm still wrapping my head around our little surprise... But also attached!
3. Any appointment updates?
Friday June 9th I go in to discuss my antidepressants and what to do there. This baby wasn't planned so we need to discuss risks/benefits etc
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
We are currently rennovating our house (and have been since I was pregnant with DD2 haha) and the finish line is now in sight. I was so excited for her to finally have an amazing nursery/bedroom and now this little surprise may screw those plans up. Totally minor I know, but I had such severe perinatal depression, PPD, and PPA with her and I something inside me just feels like I need to do that for her...
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
Hubby and I went to Jamaica for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved it!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? See intro... horrible
3. Any appointment updates? just had my 8 wk yesterday and everything is on track.... my little alien is so huge compared to last US
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? nope

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
The all-day sickness comes and goes, which puts me on edge. I still have scent aversions.
3. Any appointment updates?
My next appointment isnt until June 26. Last pregnancy I was seen every two weeks by maternal fetal medicine because I have Crohn's Disease, but I'm in active remission. This time around, at 39, that's not the case. I am complelty hom edge.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I feel happy and blessed to be pregnant.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
I've been quite a few places, but I love traveling within the good old U.S. I studied abroad in England and then traveled to Europe. I've also traveled a great deal being active duty in the Coast Guard.
Me (25) DH (33), Married 10-29-11
TTC since May 2012
8w2d and can fit on a dime
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Not super great but like others, sorta glad to have the symptoms. I should’ve been 9-10w along when I had my MC... but the u/s only showed a gestational sac, no yolk sac and no fetal pole, so it’s likely the baby stopped growing after only 4-5weeks and I didn’t know any different because that was my first time ever being pregnant. So. Kinda glad to have symptoms but they can be really rough at times.
And I cry so easily now, usually related to stories of loss. Reminds me too easily of the loved ones I’ve lost.
3. Any appointment updates?
I have had anemia issues since my 20s and I’m getting lab work done today. My hematologist is watching me closely now that I’m pregnant again.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
How often is your doctor tracking you? With history of MC, I don’t know what’s a “normal” appointment and follow-up schedule to make sure everything’s A-OK this time around
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to?
I really enjoyed Iceland - I went on a 7 day backpacking trip. This was a waterfall we saw on Day 3. Iceland is so unique. Basically no trees. And no mosquitos!
I’m also a huge fan of visiting our National Parks. They’re so beautiful and breathtaking! We’re planning a babymoon to Sequoia & Kings Canyon, which we’ve never been to before.
I agree w/ Hawaii too! This world has so many beautiful destinations, I’m awe-struck by God’s awesome glory in it all.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I really can't complain too much. Still constantly nauseous and tired with sore boobs, but not vomiting or food aversions. Mentally, I'm still detached and just anxious for some reassurance at my first appointment next week.
3. Any appointment updates?
Still June 6th.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
None today.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed
Wales and Northern Ireland. Beautiful places, lovely people. And I love the accents.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? My anxiety is getting the best of me...i started spotting early Sunday and went to the ER. They only did blood work (because we had an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday) and said everything was fine, relax. Tuesday's appointment US appointment came and we saw the HB. I thought that'd relieve some anxiety.... but nope. I just keep going to worst case scenario.
3. Any appointment updates? our next appointment isn't till the 26th. That's not helping the anxiety.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? my husbands being my rock. I know this isn't the easiest on him either, but he's been there for me when I need him.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm a little irritated that they waited so long to schedule an u/s, my ob called it in over a week ago and I had to call today because I still hadn't heard anything. *TW* By Thursday I'll be past 6 weeks and when I had my ectopic pregnancy before I started bleeding around 6 weeks so I was hoping they would do one sooner.
5. GTKY: What's the best place you've ever visited/traveled/vacationed to? I haven't done a whole lot of traveling, but my favorite place I've been to is Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Loved all the animals and views, it was beautiful.

Its number 3 for me. With the first two I gained way too much weight, ended up with pre-eclampsia, and c-sections. I’m worried the same will happen this one too.

I loved the Dominican Republic.
