Re: Group 2 Check-In (EDD July 9-16) Week of 11/25
Baby is the size of a computer keyboard key
upcoming appts: finally this week! 11/29
I’m feeling really queasy all the time, with pretty frequent vomiting. Ugh. Still spotting a little, but the nausea is keeping me from worrying about that too much.
Rants/Raves: I won’t lie (don’t flame me
Questions: is anyone else feeling this way, or is it just my bad pregnancy anxiety?
GTKY: I’ve been attempting to decorate for Christmas but I’m so fatigued that I can never finish 😭 my house is a wreck and it’s killllling me!
Baby is the size of a(n): honeybee!
Upcoming Appointments: 12/4 initial appointment
How are you feeling?: pretty ok. I got 11 hours of sleep the day after Thanksgiving and I think it was the reset I needed. I think my spotting from TDay is gone now - whew! No nausea, but I'm still burping like a frat boy
Rants/Raves: I found out yesterday that my cat broke the front of her litter box. I'd say that explains why she hasn't been using it, but who knows with her. I really hope she starts using it again soon instead of spraying our freshly-painted dining room wall
Questions: Anyone else having mild symptoms right now?
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? DH put Christmas lights on our house yesterday because it was warm out, and the two of us put up the tree and lit it, but no ornaments yet. (We're going to wait until we get new flooring.) I put up my grandma's old wreath and it reeks of musty basement
@mamahmh2 I agree that the board organization is a little loose right now. March 2019 has a pinned thread that's sort of an "ask us anything" - do you (or anyone else) think that would be a good idea for us?
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: finally made my first appt for Wed.
How are you feeling?: nausea and food aversions are kicking my butt. Bloat is horrible. Finally getting over the cold and stomach bug.
Rants/Raves: We've had so much rain and crap weather lately. My whole yard and farm area is still one huge muddy puddle. I hate it and it's such a huge pain to walk and work in.
Questions: Na.
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? We do Christmas. And haven't started anything yet. We always go out to a local Christmas tree farm and cut down a live tree.
@mamahmh2 Yea it's irritating me to. I have tried to redirect some but...
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
@nopegoat I know, I’ve seen you do that and I’ve tried to do the same, but I feel like it’s getting so repetitive... glad to know I’m not the only one though.
Baby is the size of a(n): honey bee
Upcoming Appointments: 12/10 aka forever
How are you feeling?: Symptoms have been very on/off lately. Today, the main thing I'm feeling is DIZZY. Like even sitting down
Rants/Raves: I am impatient, and waiting out this 1st tri/1st OB appt/not telling anyone is driving me crazy. I have already told my immediate family members even though I hadn't planned to lol. But I'm glad I did. Let's just hope I can keep it together one more month at least. Weather here sucks too, just gray and rainy. Raves: I got to see my fur kids after a week away and I love how excited they get when I come home
Questions: Nope.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: 12/24 - Maternity Counselor and then also with my OB to have my Maternity21 test
How are you feeling?: Digestive issues and a bit nauseous and always ready for a nap lol
Rants/Raves: I am so happy that we saw a heartbeat at the ultrasound. Now just hoping it sticks in there until the 11 week appointment and that genetically all things are good and then I think I might start to believe we will get to bring this one home!
Questions:
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? Christmas. The tree is up and we put up our outside lights yesterday!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: December 5th. Almost there!
How are you feeling?: so awful! Nauseas is in full swing
Rants/Raves: DS is back at school today after being off for thanksgiving. I loved having him home all week, but we all missed the routine of school.
Questions: none
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? We celebrate Christmas! We bought our tree yesterday, and will decorate throughout the week!
Im so glad I’m not the only one bothered by the lack of board organization. I get there are still new people joining, but having multiple threads asking about the same things is a bit annoying. I’ve re directed a few times but wasn’t sure if people cared or not about the organization. Happy to donit though, because we don’t need a bunch of threads about random symptoms, when there is a dedicated symptoms thread every week!
Baby is the size of a(n): headphone earbud
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday 11/29
How are you feeling?: Pretty good, which makes me nervous. Went camping last week Th-Sun and felt almost no symptoms. Back to work today and I am feeling a bit queezy. I am SO READY for my first appointment with my midwife!! I want to POAS one more time before I go to make sure there are no surprises- I’ve already had three strong positives on 11/1, 4, and 9.
Rants/Raves: Constipation- that is all.
Questions: Should I take another test before Thursday for peace of mind?
GTKY: Finally took down Halloween decorations. House is under construction so I’m not sure how much Christmas decorating I’ll be doing.
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: 12/4 patiently (or not) waiting!!
How are you feeling?: actually pretty good lately
Rants/Raves: 6 weeks in I had full blown nausea and was so so exhausted but once week 7 hit I started feeling pretty good - also trying not to worry about it just like some of you guys have said.. trying to remember that even the more subtle symptoms still count
Questions: any chance they will do Doppler at my 8 1/2 week appointment? They said no US so just looking for some confirmation/peace of mind?
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? We celebrate Christmas - we have a tradition of going for a tree the day after thanksgiving so that is up and my house is all decorated inside - so cozy!! Still have to do outside lights at some point
Baby is the size of a(n): macaroni I think
Upcoming Appointments: not for a couple weeks still.
How are you feeling?: tired and nauseous. Definitely not doing my best parenting right now.
Rants/Raves: I wish that I could take some leave from work in the first trimester.
Questions: None
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? We celebrate Christmas. Our tree is up and it’s going better with my toddler than I anticipated.
EDD: 7/9. I’m 7+6 today
appointments: I just had one today. U/S looked great and HB was 167
rants/raves: I hated getting on the scale today. I am so happy with my body right now by my weight is a terrible indication of my body composition/size/strength. I just hate seeing numbers.
GTKY: we do Christmas here. I’m hosting three parties this month and getting very excited about them. I convinced H to let me put up three trees this year.
Baby is the size of a(n): coffee bean
Upcoming Appointments: US in 2 days
How are you feeling?: tired, dizzy, exhausted
Rants/Raves: 😥Anyone else not feeling elated? I want so bad to be excited about being pregnant but I just haven't felt it yet. My husband and I planned this and all, but it still doesn't feel like great timing. My husband is out of work, his dog was put down last week, and he's even moodier than I am. He stormed out of the house tonight after I asked him to start the dishwasher and said he didn't care if I was mad about it 😡
Question: Is anyone else's partner being a pain in the ass yet? Would love to know I'm not alone
baby is big as a blueberry (over 1cm already!)
just had had an appointment a week ago and a follow up U/S today and everything looked great!
feeling pretty crappy-constant nausea and nasal congestion, hoping there is an end in sight soon! Last pregnancy my MS eased off at 9 weeks!
Rants/raves: no current rants, just happy to be living in the Tropics and having the opportunity to go to the beach this weekend 😁
We celebrate Christmas and thankful that my mother set up our tree because I totally suck at decorating 😂
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: 1st appt December 18th 😒
How are you feeling?: so far so good! Definitely less energy
Rants/Raves: the excitement and nervousness that comes along with getting through the first trimester so that I can start telling people! Definitely making people suspicious at social gatherings when I’m not having wine or a cocktail.
Questions:
GTKY: Going to Dallas for the holidays and looking forward to telling my in laws then since it’ll be about 3 months 😌
Side note, I have a potentially dumb question - I see people talking about "MS" in the symptoms thread, but what does that stand for? All I can think of is multiple sclerosis and I know that can't be right...
@knottiea1b82a6aca31c31c - have you tried carrying around short soda water on the rocks with lime? That's what I did at my work holiday party. I asked the bartender for an extra lime and she threw in a cherry, too. It was pretty good!
Also, you might want to change your username to something other than "knottie" with a bunch of numbers. There's a thread on this board that shows you how to do it. It will be a lot easier for us to get to know you and tag you!
YES to everyone regarding board organization. I'm trying to be super supportive and not bitchy but seriously there are spots for that. and if you don't think there are than ask it in randoms or your group! just don't make a random thread!
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming Appointments: US in 3 days
How are you feeling?: tired, gassy, bloated and gaining weight. But no more sore boobs and no nausea. Trying not to read much into that.
Rants/Raves: off to the Maldives but really feeling down coz I can't fit into any of my cute beach outfits. Only packed big flowy dresses. Hope I'll get to wear the tiny rompers and tight beach dresses sometime soon. Right now I just look fat, not pregnant. Hiding with big clothes but I'll start getting obvious soon...
Questions: nervous for US. Is that normal?
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? CHRISTMAS! YAY Not celebrating this year though.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry. Each week when I get a new size, that's what we call it. Last week we talked about the sesame seed, this week it's blueberry. I'm wondering what nickname will end up sticking.
Upcoming Appointments: Blood draw tomorrow to look at hCG levels (freaked out about some spotting... see rants/raves). US scheduled for 12/19 which seems like a lifetime from now!
How are you feeling?: Scarily good. Fatigue and sore boobs with some cramping at night. No nausea yet. I can't tell if my cravings/food aversions are real or in my head. They haven't been overly strong, but I do seriously have a love for tomato soup right now!
Rants/Raves: I'm a FTM and my family had a traumatic Thanksgiving. Dad was flown to a hospital in Denver and underwent emergency open heart surgery. He's home and recovering now. No one knows yet so when I had spotting on Thanksgiving I FREAKED OUT. (Did you know that signs of a "normal" pregnancy could also be signs of miscarriage? Talk about setting us up for stress when we're already hormonal!) The stress from dad's emergency, mixed with a holiday spent in a hospital and sprinkled with a good old fashioned hormonal freakout made for a VERY long weekend. Good news: I had a blood draw on Monday which looked good. I'm hoping for more positive news tomorrow so we can continue to be excited about the blueberry.
Questions: I see a lot of moms commenting about not getting too freaked out by this or that. With so much uncertainty in the first trimester, how do you keep a level head? I'm seriously not very successful at it right now.
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? We are Christmas folks. I made my mom help me with the tree 3 weeks ago! I turn it on every night for the whole neighborhood to see! It'll be up until February too. Yeah, I'm that kind of a person!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: today!! 😌
How are you feeling?: so gassy/bloated
Rants/Raves: rant:since my last baby was over 9 pounds I had to take a gluclose test today without any warning...I ate a bowl of noodles before I went 😑
Questions: anyone else nervous about being pregnant in the middle of summer!? I suppose it depends where you are located!
GTKY: Got my Christmas trees Black Friday and so far all I’ve done is put the lights on! If I could sleep all day I most definitely would!
@kmk8813 that stinks they just sprung it on you! I’ll be doing a glucose test at 16 weeks and again at 28 since my son was considered big for his gestational age. Hope your results come back just fine!
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: July 16, still haven't had a first appointment yet though so the date might change
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry (i think this nickname might stick for the whole pregnancy too because baby loves berries!)
Upcoming Appointments: on 17th & cant wait
How are you feeling?: I'm feeling all of the things. I love walking around knowing i have ththiththis HUGE awesome secret that no one else knows (except my honey & parents). My stomach is always grumbly with no morning sickness but ALL of the indigestion and acid reflux. Super tired too, getting through the work day without a nap is tough! And i hate having to pee so much more often than usual.
Rants/Raves: see above... lol
Questions: none that i can think of
GTKY: What holidays do you celebrate in December? Has anyone started decorating yet? Christmas. Just got the decorations out today and my nativity is up. More decorating tomorrow.
