1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 9 weeks 5 days! Just would like to be past the first tri and done with all the genetic testing, so much anxiety!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Today is not a great day. I had off sat, sun and mon...planned on doing a bunch of housework...haven’t gotten out of bed. Today I have a pretty bad headache. Dealing with a lot of anxiety lately, so I’m hoping that subsided soon. 3. Any appointment updates? we have our first ultrasound appt tomorrow afternoon, so I’m very excited for that. It will be very comforting to see that everything is ok & baby is growing normally. 4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else struggling with anxiety? I feel like I’m in constant fear of something bad happening. Also still checking tp for blood every time I go pee, will this ever stop! 5. GTKY- what is your dream vacation? Dream vacation would be somewhere tropical with the little bungalows on the water with the see through floors! Always looks so beautiful. Just relaxing in the water and being able to read a good book like back in the day haha! Hope everyone is having a good week!
@Shelbyville30 I was in Rome. I did my student teaching there, so I was essentially working a full-time job. On the weekends, I got to see a lot of the sights in Rome and I also spent a weekend in Florence. It’s amazing and I really want to go back.
@cdub4292 hang in there! I am falling behind in several areas because I just can’t summon the energy to do much. I had a stretch a couple weeks ago with bad anxiety too. It’s ok to feel what you are feeling! Try to give yourself some grace!!!

@Sparkylove congratulations! Did they tell you what kind yours are? (Mo/mo, mo/di or di/di)
It's been a minute since that pregnancy, and I can't remember if ours measured the same at the very beginning, but they were always slightly different throughout. I think that's pretty normal. I had mo/di, so they monitored the size of mine quite closely for signs of TTTS and warned me heavily at the beginning of vanishing twin syndrome where one may not be there there next time we had a scan. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
@BuckeyeNut05 thank you I’m so excited. No they didn’t tell me what kind they are, hope to find out Thursday! Also, yes it makes me nervous for that to happen. So glad it worked out great for you! ❤️
1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 9 weeks, passed one - successful heartbeat at first ultrasound. Next milestone is 16 weeks, the following milestone is 32 weeks.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? I had a ton of anxiety until my 8w 4d appt. I saw baby’s heartbeat and the anxiety I felt disappeared instantly and love and joy replaced it. I successfully found baby’s heartbeat with my home Doppler today. It was amazing, I only listened for about 45 seconds because studies aren't conclusive if it’s okay and I just needed a quick listen. 3. Any appointment updates? I was pre diabetic and diagnosed with hypothyroidism before getting pregnant and so my doc checked my a1c and thyroid levels. A1c still indicates pre diabetic so they’ll be treating me as a diabetic to make sure baby is good. Thyroid came back fine, but I go next week to my endocrinologist and get his opinion.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I love keeping this baby a secret. I’m not entirely sure why, but having their due date the day after my moms birthday gives me motivation to keep the secret for as long as possible so she can be surprised with a grand baby for her birthday. She’s been so supportive of us, that I know she’ll love the surprise.
5. GTKY- what is your dream vacation? Visiting somewhere with a lot of history. Preferably Scotland or Ireland in their smaller towns or villages where you can meet country folk and learn about them and how their culture is. I hear they are some of the nicest people too.

We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
So nervous for my first US on Thursday. Last time, we found out about my blighted ovum then when we thought everything would be fine. My anxiety levels are going through the roof and the nightmares have started. Sorry, just needed to vent for a second.
@southerngirlinwi I completely understand how you are feeling. My US is in a week and it will be around the same time we were told about my blighted ovum during my last pregnancy. We had clues that something wasn’t right, but it was still hard. I think anxiety about it is inevitable. I’m not sure what to say to help, but just know that you are not the only one feeling this way and your feelings are valid!
@purpleteacher82 Thank you. It is just taking a lot for me to stay somewhat calm. I took another test last night and had a BFP again which helped a bit, but that's what happened last time. Hoping for good news on Thursday!!
I am 0% caught up. I’ve been OOT dealing with my grandfathers passing for 2 weeks. But I’m back now!
1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 9w4d, all milestones passed.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally I’m feeling great. Physically I’m feeling terrible. Nauseous 24/7, vomiting has increased, headaches all day every day, and I’m so stinking exhausted that I’ve been napping every day.
3. Any appointment updates? Going in for a missed blood work appt tomorrow and I’m pretty sure I’m graduating the RE tomorrow too! Then I have my first OB appt next Thursday!!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I wanna stop barfing and being so miserable. I’ve lost 6lbs in 2 weeks because I can barely eat anything without barfing it back up. And my OB won’t prescribe anything over the phone because she hasn’t seen me yet this pregnancy.
5. GTKY- what is your dream vacation? I have so many!!! I’ve never really done a big/fancy vacation. All of mine have been visiting family lol I wanna go to Hawaii, Jamaica, I’d love to go to Cuba now too! I also want to do a whole European tour! See, how could I choose!?!
@mschanandlerbong1214 sorry to hear about your grandfather! Also, your RE might prescribe you something for the nausea until you can get it with your OB, I know mine will.
Thanks all for the well wishes. My appt went great today! Baby measured 7 weeks and I'm exactly 7 weeks today. I got to hear the heartbeat and doc said it sounded perfect for a 7 week baby - don't know the exact heart rate cause she was using the little bedside u/s machine, not the fancy one.
I'm so relieved! I've never had a good u/s before. I'm still gonna be anxious at least through my milestone and first tri, but this makes me feel so much more hopeful about this pregnancy.
We had a big surprise today... twins! both measuring exactly 7w5 which is perfect for my EDC and both with good heartbeats. Now I know why I’ve been so miserable. It was pretty shocking to say the least!

Had us yesterday, which went great. Baby measured 7w5d and based on lmp I was supposed to be 8w1d. Heartrate was 150. I came here for well wishes though, as we are moving in between states, I had very light pink spotting this morning, nothing, and then brown spotting tonight. I don't have a new ob set up yet in my new state. I'm not sure if I am still spotting tomorrow if I should call an ob to see if they can get me in or not?
@Kenneylynn3 I would probably call just to see since you don’t really have anyone to call once you move. My office is very good about getting me in if I have spotting just to take a quick look. If you’re nervous, it doesn’t hurt to call.
Thanks ladies. It’s still sinking in. I was soooo nervous for my scan. I was prepared to see an empty sac. I never imagined we would ever get to have more than one LO after 4 years of loss and infertility. And then she tells me my uterus feels really big, am I sure of my dates? And then she tells my husband “want to see your twins?” He about passed out! We are super scared but also overjoyed with these double rainbows. I can’t really manage to focus on anything else!! I am praying that all the rest of you get to see your babes soon, if you haven’t already.

Much better mentally after the scan and beta tests! Physically I am tired and on and off nauseous but nothing horrible!

1st OB ultrasound is Thursday and I’m so excited!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Anyone else find out they are pregnancy with twins and they don’t measure the exact same?
