Re: Group 1 Check-In (June 1st-June 8th) w/o 10/15

  • Due date: June 1st, 7W2D
    Baby Size: the size of an Altoid!
    Appointments: First US is 17 Oct
    Rants: I’m totally over this morning sickness BS. I just want to be able to eat and drink normally. Raves: my nails are like the most amazing they have ever been! 
    How are you feeling: I’m feeling okay except for the MS. It makes me feel like I’m just overall sickly and the vomiting is really not fun. 
    GTKY: Hmm, I’m not really a huge fan of most sitcoms, so I’m not sure I’d want to be in any of them. But maybe Modern Family just because that show is pretty funny!

    ❗❗****** TRIGGER WARNING ******❗❗



    I started bleeding on Friday. Saturday, still bleeding, passing (TMI) stuff. So I made my way to the ER. Bloodwork was good, cervical check was good but since I live in a stupid small town, ultrasound isn't open on weekends. You'd think they would at least have one in the ER. Anyways, I have an appointment for that at 1:15pm today but I'm sad to say that I'm not hopeful. I'm full on bleeding now, passing lots of small clots. I don't know how to feel. This baby was an accident and I wasn't thrilled about it at first but I came around. Started looking at cribs and stuff and now here we are. I feel like it's just some cruel, sick joke the universe is playing on me. 😞

  • @stokesm21 I'm so sorry. I really hope you get positive news today at the ultrasound but take care of yourself. 

    Due date/W+D: June 2, 7+1

    Baby is the size of a(n): m&m

    Any appointments? Questions?:First ultrasound is 10/17

    Rants/Raves?: It's Monday and it's raining

    How are you feeling?: Honestly, my symptoms are so minor that it's making me stressed. Sore boobs is the only consistent symptom I've had. I've had some minor nausea but it's been infrequent

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 ): 30 Rock because Liz Lemon is my spirit animal

  • @stokesm21 I’m sorry to hear that! Keeping you in my thoughts!

    @goodgodlemon all I can say is that I’d give anything to switch places with you. Don’t worry about not having symptoms - that’s perfectly normal and you almost certainly have a healthy baby cooking in there! I vomit a couple of times a day which has been no bueno. Good luck with your US, I have mine the same day!
  • edited October 2018
    @stokesm21 So sorry :(

    @goodgodlemon I'm in the same boat as you with a lack of symptoms. I'm trying to see it as a blessing right now, but it makes me super nervous as well!
  • Due date/ W+D: June 1st/ 7+2

    Baby is the size of an: altoid!

    Appointments: First appointment 10/22. Can’t wait! 

    Rants/Raves: I’m so over this MS and trying to hide the fact I don’t feel good!  On the plus side my hubby has been the sweetest ever.

    Symtoms: The nausea is real.  Like a hangover all day that never ends. Headaches included.  The only plus of this is that it makes this pregnancy real. 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be?  HIMYM, I know Robin and I would be besties and they seem like they have so much fun 😊
  • @stokesm21 so so sorry to hear that.  I hope you get some good news today. 


    Due date/W+D: June 5th / 6+4

    Baby is the size of a(n): sweetpea

    Any appointments? Questions?:First ultrasound is 10/24

    Rants/Raves?: I think I'll be ranting about this morning sickness until 1st tri is over... Rave: DH. He did EVERYTHING this week. Between taking care of the toddler, laundry, tidying the house, playing with the toddler. etc. so that I could sleep all weekend. Next Rave: I slept allll weekend. I want to go back to that. 

    How are you feeling?: Sickly.  @blushinbabe7 I feel you on the all day hangover... it's the worst.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 ): I really enjoy Last Man Standing. So, maybe that. Or maybe the Golden Girls because I love Betty White.

  • @chrssyms I know you're right and if/when I do get symptoms I will be cursing myself for not enjoying this time without them. It's just weird to be pregnant but not feel pregnant...

    @wearyfuzzball glad I'm not alone! I know I should try to enjoy it while I can.
  • @stokesm21 so sorry and take care of yourself! 

    @blushinbabe7 the "all day hangover" is exactly how I described it to DH over the weekend!

    Due date/W+D: 6/7, 6+3

    Baby is the size of a(n): kernel of corn

    Any appointments? Questions?: US is Wednesday, and the suspense is killing me

    Rants/Raves?: I'm glad the autumn temps have come, but wish the rain would go away!

    How are you feeling?: Still have a sore throat from rhinitis. Can't wait for that one to go away

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? Ummmm, I never really watched a lot of sitcoms, but Star trek NG looks like fun

  • @stokesm21 So sorry to hear that. Hoping that you got good news.

    Due date/ W+D: June 1; 7w2d

    Baby is the size of a(n): altoid, which coincidentally I am eating a lot of to try to alleviate my MS!

    Any appointments? Questions?: Tomorrow! Finally!

    Rants/Raves?: Rave: I actually felt decent enough to spend all morning out of the house today. Voluntarily. That hasn't happened in a couple of weeks.

    How are you feeling?: Nauseous and tired. But less so today!

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 ): Probably Parks and Rec

  • Due date/W+D: June 3, 7w

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Any appointments? Questions?: US this Friday

    Rants/Raves?: Rant: I have to travel for work next week, to a city 8 time zones away, for a difficult project. Can't wait to be back and done with work travel for the rest of the year.

    How are you feeling?:  Nauseated, tired, guilty for spending too much time in bed while my son plays with his grandma in the evenings.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 😉)  Ooh, good question! Does Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee count?  I love driving, and coffee, and comedy. I already basically live in The Office.


  • Due date/W+D: June 5, 6+6

    Baby is the size of a(n): honey bee 

    Any appointments? Questions?: was in emergency for light pink spotting this weekend  but everything is ok! 

    Rants/Raves?: hate my next ultrasound is November 20th @ 12 weeks. 

    How are you feeling?: really good.  Tired but definitely can’t complain 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 ) don’t watch too many, but Greys 

  • Due date/W+D: 6/3. 7 weeks today. 

    Baby is the size of a(n): coffee bean

    Any appointments? Questions?: first appointment is on the 24th. 

    Rants/Raves?: my baby is so rough on my nipples when she is nursing. I can't tell I'd she is actually biting me or if my nipples are just more sensitive. 

    How are you feeling?: I feel nauseous for most of the day now. I wake vomiting at night, usually around 11:30. I called my dr today to see what I can take for the vomiting and I can't have any of it. Zofran can cause higher risk of cleft palate/lip and that runs in my family so that is a big NO for me. I can't take the B6 and unisom because I'm nursing. B6 isn't safe while BF and unisom will dry up my milk. So I guess crackers and gingerale it is. 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 ) Friends for sure. It would he awesome living in New York and always being surrounded by close friends. 

  • @stokesm21 Again, so sorry to hear this news. 

    Due date/W+D: June 4, 6+6

    Baby is the size of a(n): honey bee! I love this one. 

    Any appointments? Questions?: Ultrasound is on Thursday. BF and I both took the day off so (FX) we see a good heartbeat, we will have date night to celebrate. I am counting the hours.

    Rants/Raves?: I am on call this week and had to work through the night Sat and Sun. I wanted to lay down on my desk and sleep.

    How are you feeling?: The fatigue and food aversions are tough, but I am so thankful that I have not actually thrown up. I have chronic migraines, so I’m pretty used to puking on the regular. 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? I think my real life is scarily close to Brooklyn 99, but I wish I could live in Sex and the City. They make it seem so glamorous (and not soul crushingly expensive) :lol:

  • @stokesm21 huge internet hugs to you! ❤️❤️❤️

    Due date/W+D: 6w6d/June 5 (come in 2 days after dating scan)

    Baby is the size of a(n): honey bee 

    Any appointments? Questions?: ultrasound yesterday! This one was to confirm it wasn’t ectopic. I’m supposed to have my dating scan on Monday but not sure if I should go? I’m thinking I will because I’m selfish and I want to see my little bean again (and it’s free so why not?). I'm booked in for gyno tomorrow at 2pm & then GP/OB next Thursday arvo. Going to go to both to see who I feel most comfortable with as if I have a vaginal birth I don't need a gyno to deliver and the GP/OB is free, but I have some health issues which may mean I'm not able to have a vaginal birth :( Both have weeks of waiting between free appointments so I don't see the harm in going to both!

    Rants/Raves?: none. I was nervous up until yesterday and preparing myself for the worst but I’ve heard a heartbeat and now it’s all so real. I can’t wait to tell my mum next week! 

    How are you feeling?: EXHAUSTED! I went to a friend’s for dinner last night and literally fell asleep at the table. I work 10hr days 5 days a week and have a 1hr drive each way to work and I’m shattered. The constant nausea (without relief of vomiting) is also taking its toll. I've asked to work at a different location for the rest of the week so I can recover a little bit!

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3): I don't watch sitcoms. What even classifies as a sit com? hahaha

    @stokesm21 - I'm so sorry to hear that.

    Due date/W+D: June 8

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Any appointments? Questions?: I had my annual physical/GP appointment scheduled for this morning (coincidentally), so I told him I was pregnant, but kind of feel like maybe I should have waited, because it's too soon? My blood pressure was a bit high (130/188), which is abnormal for me, so now I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out if was nerves/a one-off, or if it's going to be an ongoing problem. Ultrasound isn't until next week.

    Rants/Raves?: Everyone keeps telling me I'm lucky/should be glad that I don't have morning sickness/nausea, but it's driving me crazy. I'm worried it's a bad sign, and I feel like the few folks I've told already keep dismissing my worries as invalid. (I know a few previous posters have shared the same feeling, so I'm hoping for all of us that it really is just good luck!)

    How are you feeling?: As I already ranted - no nausea, but I am still having breast tenderness. Mostly, I'm just really exhausted and dealing with wicked heartburn. Although since getting pregnant, I've had to stop taking my sleep meds & Prilosec (for acid reflux), so it's hard to say if it's a pg symptom or just my new normal. Needless to say, all of this is of course messing with my head. I'm feeling so anxious not knowing what's going on in there! I think I'll feel better once I can hear the heartbeat and have more answers.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 😉): Probably How I Met Your Mother - how did they all afford such spacious NYC apartments and still have all that time-off work to hang out?!



  • Due date/W+D: June 3rd. 7 weeks!!

    Baby is the size of a(n): bluebrry/ m&ms

    Any appointments? Questions?: my first appt is on Thursday. I’m sooo nervous! I’m hoping seeing the baby will make me feel better.

    Rants/Raves?: I complained to my husband that my nausea was really bad last night. So he farts on me multiple times! Yeah not cool dude. 

    How are you feeling?: meh I’m ready for the second trimester. I’m keeping the pregnancy from my mom but I could really use her support. Counting now the days. 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? New girl! 

  • Due date/W+D: June 4th/ 7wks

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry.

    Any appointments? Questions?: I had my first appointment today. Just an intake appointment and blood work. Next week I have my first real appointment with a ultrasound! 

    Rants/Raves?: I really like my new doctor office but they are doing construction in the parking lot and I'm mildly annoyed.

    How are you feeling?: normal. RLP is starting much sooner with this pregnancy. I was 20+ weeks last pregnancy before I felt this sore.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? Uhhh, how I met your mother.

    I called my gyno today to find out if my partner should be at the appointment and they seemed extremely confused as to why I would want to bring him because my GP’s referral was for PRE PREGNANCY!!!! I’m like, I’m definitely 7 weeks pregnant and my GP knew that when he sent the referral, so what now? And they said the whole schedule is different so there’s not a lot of point coming in for the appointment today. Beyond infuriated as I’ve taken the day off work to attend 😡😡😡

    @wiseh that is SO frustrating. Hopefully you can get everything figured out.

    I ended up going and it was a huge waste of time and money. He asked if I had any questions and when I said I had a list he looked shocked, even more shocked when I whipped my phone out and started asking. They were just questions like can I work rotating shifts as a process operator? Can I continue to play netball and weight lift? Is my weight an issue? Does my blood disorder mean anything to my pregnancy? Are you on holidays throughout during my pregnancy? Like to me basic questions and he looked horrified that I was asking them. I don’t think I’ll stay with him, especially as other health issues mean I don’t need to have a c section (which was my fear) so I can see a GP/OB and not limited to a gyno. 
  • @wiseh those seem like pretty normal and standard questions. Like why do people ask “do you have any questions?” If they don’t intend on answering any of them. Ugh! 

    Sounds like he may may not be a good fit for you.

  • Due date/W+D: June 2nd / 7w3d

    Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry

    Any appointments? Questions?: My first appointment is not until Nov. 1st and the waiting is so difficult!

    Rants/Raves?: Rants - My dog got skunked yesterday morning and he got into the house... so the whole house smells terrible! Not good. I am just exhausted all the time and have a very decreased appetite and food aversions, so basically I am forcing myself to eat food I am not enjoying all day long.... Raves - This week is half-way over! 

    How are you feeling?: Trying to be hopeful that everything is okay with my pregnancy and baby :) 

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? FRIENDS!


  • @wiseh sounds like you may need a new doctor! Glad you're looking for one. Those are all normal questions imo that any doctor should be prepared to answer. Sorry your appointment was a waste though. That's disappointing.
  • @wiseh Damn girl it sounds like you had a really crappy day. Hugs for that one. I hope you can find a new doctor that doesn’t suck. 
  • Due date/W+D: June 5th / 7 weeks

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry or a coffee bean

    Any appointments? Questions?: Ultrasound in 3 weeks.

    Rants/Raves?: Our offer on a house was accepted! We scrambled for a week to get our house ready to put on the market. It's officially on the market today! I would love a full price offer after the open house this weekend because living in a pristine house with two cats, a toddler, and a DH is difficult.

    How are you feeling?: Better! Only slight nausea. I had lots of abdominal pain while trying to pack. I was on my feet a lot but my mom and DH refused to let me carry heavy things.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 😉) The Good Place!

  • Thanks everyone. I did get one thing out of it which is that I am able to be seconded into the process operator role for a month, which is key to my career development and something I was really worried about. My boss has agreed to not tell the super of the team I'll be going into about my pregnancy so he can't stop it, as he's taken all the pregnant girls out of operator roles. It's so frustrating. 

    Fingers crossed the appointment with the OB next week goes well!
  • @nmbrcrnchr1 same here with the eating. I'm starting to worry about weight gain.

    @wiseh  good luck with the transfer to the new role!
  • Due date/W+D: June 2; 7w4d

    Baby is the size of a(n): a jellybean

    Any appointments? Questions?: I got my blood results back from my appointment last week and it turns out I'm not immune to the measles even though I was vaccinated.  My OB did not seem concerned because measles is so rare, but of course I googled and there are still cases from time to time in my area and it can cause serious birth defects. My rational brain says I’ve gone through my whole life not being scared of getting measles and I don’t need to start now.  My irrational brain - who seems to rule the roost these days - is on Amazon looking for bubble suits I can live in for a while. My next is appointment is in a week.

    Rants/Raves?: Rant - cannot seem to sleep anymore.  I’m exhausted but restless when I get into bed and then wake up early every morning super nauseous.  Rave - it’s our anniversary today and we are doing a weekend getaway upstate - I’m excited to get out of the city and sit by a cozy fire all weekend.

    GTKY: If you could live in any sitcom. What would it be? (Thank you G2 and G3 😉): definitely Friends!  

  • jessica4141 - I showed no immunity to MMR either, despite having gotten the vaccine MULTIPLE times. I figure if we've managed to make it this far without being exposed to the measles, it's pretty darn unlikely to suddenly happen now.

    wiseh - Hopefully your next appointment is more productive/helpful!

    AFM...My boobs stopped hurting a couple days ago, so I'm getting very nervous, as that was really my only symptom. I called my RE, and they let me come in for another blood test this morning to check my HCG levels so I could get an idea of what's going on (or as the nurse said "to make [me] feel better"). But waiting for the results (typically the office doesn't do call backs till late afternoon) is torture. My anxiety is out of control. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that the bloodwork doesn't show a drop in levels.
  • @ellem29 my boobs stopped hurting around week 6. i have the nausea and exhaustion going strong though.
  • @ellem29 fingers crossed for you! I hope your results are good. I was in the same boat as you - my only real symptom was sore boobs and they seemed to go away yesterday. Thankfully, I had my first ultrasound and it went well so I feel a bit better now but it's strangely nerve wracking to feel okay and normal.

    Got the results - my levels went up (to 45870), but my doubling rate has slowed substantially (it's at 41% or 97.2 hours to double). So it's still a toss-up on what the u/s will show next week. I'm incredibly nervous. Trying to be optimistic, but I also want to be realistic with myself that this may not mean good news.

    goodgodlemon. My u/s isn't until next week, and I didn't feel like I could wait until then. This is one of those rare times in life where I actually wish I *wasn't* feeling well.


  • @ellem29 My boobs only hurt for about one week around 5 weeks so that might help. But don't wish nausea on yourself. It doesn't mean anything bad not to have it. Just enjoy being able to eat normal right now. In case it comes eventually. It's no fun. 
    Hoping you get good blood draw results!
