@sparklingdiamond I am having sciatic pain as well and I’ve never had an issue with it before. It’s so. Annoying because I can’t get comfortable at night and keep waking up to change positions.
My update- things went well. Today my baby is alive and on track and I need to focus on that. Which is hard. I cried seeing this little person wiggling around in there.
Im glad to see these good updates coming in! ❤️
Baby measured on track! They did do the scan but I’m not sure they actually measured the NT. I am not sure if it’s different because I do it in first tri and then again second tri and I don’t get results until both sets of blood and scans are in. I was too much of a mess to ask. Thanks for asking.

Im probably missing someone but yea for all these great updates. Keep the good times rolling.
@TJtheGoat My company’s HQ is in New Jersey but only one Path stop away from NYC. When I wasn’t geriatric, I had lots of friends in the city I would stay over extra nights. Next week is Toronto. I have new clients in a Chicago, New Orleans and California but haven’t had to make the trek out there yet. My favorite sleeper client was in Milwaukee. I LOVE it there. Even in February. I love beer and brats
I traveled until about 34 weeks last time. I’m shooting for about the same but we will see
@ncm1919 wow, that’s a lot of traveling. I get super homesick after about three days so it’s not for me, but it does sound cool to eat delicious food in all those different cities. If you do come to California, let me know so I can recommend some fun stuff.
@sparklingdiamond I‘m so happy for you guys that you got good news! FX that it just keeps on coming. And thank you for the hope of flutters at 11 weeks. Even if it doesn’t happen, I’ll know Im getting super close.

@coco2787 ok so I glad it’s not only me. Have you seen the episode with the pen pal yet? That’s the one that got me.
OMG yes. That one was so sad

Happy to see great updates! @nmbrcrnchr1 and @sparklingdiamond and@momapetey630. i found baby on the Doppler last night so that was reassuring. Add me to the list of sciatica sufferers. It’s so annoying, it kept me up for three hours last night. I also have a UTI but my OB is in surgery all day and won’t have a chance to review results and prescribe anything until tomorrow.
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally I'm doing ok, impatiently waiting getting testing done. Physically I think its getting better. The nausea seems to be less frequent. Still tired and having trouble sleeping. Sciatica doesn't seem to be getting worse but I know it will as baby gets bigger.
4. Any appointment updates? Had an appt today just to check in really. Thought he was just gonna doppler but ended up getting to see the baby, which made my day. Quad screen in 2 weeks and then MW on 12/26. US with MFM on 1/26. Anxiously waiting for those results.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? My SIL is graduating from nursing school on the 15th and were driving to Louisiana. I'm so excited for her. But honestly not excited to deal with my other SIL. She's just incredibly selfish and already causing issues about xmas dinner that weekend, since DH and I won't be there for the actual holiday. She just had a baby, due date was 2 weeks before mine. She didn't even bother to reach out to us when we found the issues or after. She didn't bother to text me until Mother's Day 🙄
6. Any milestones coming up? 2nd trimester on Sunday! Too much to ask to miraculously feel better?!
7. GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Fall. Being from MA, I love the fall. I've really missed it the last 6 years moving around for the Army.
Sending lots of love to the ladies in here this week! ❤️❤️ Seems to be a tough week and a lot going on for everyone. But so glad to see so many good results coming in!
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Morning sickness has been gone the last two days, so I’m either optimistic it’s gone for good. Or my PGAL brain is eating away at my nerves saying something is wrong. I broke out the Doppler again. Still can’t find jack crap except for my own heart beat. I’ve become a professional at diagnosing myself as alive.
4. Any appointment updates? 12 week appointment tomorrow finally with my high risk OB (haven’t seen her since 6 weeks, she’s hard to get an appointment with). I saw my old midwife for my 8 week. My appointment was originally the first one in the morning, but now it’s moved back a few hours because of a surgery. That means DH can’t come anymore. And I have to wrangle our 2 year old on my own close to nap time. I plan on bringing all the snacks and lower my sanity expectations.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m hoping we get a lot of our high risk answers tomorrow (when my progesterone shots will start, my MFM referral ball rolling, if we will do a cerclage or not, talk about steroids, potential delivery date for the c section etc).
6. Any milestones coming up? My next one isn’t until my anatomy scan, when we found out something wasn’t right with the twins. I suppose that’s only about 6-8 weeks away. Hard to believe.
7. GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Anything but winter. I hate where we live because it’s so cold!
I know this sounds dumb but I was told I could stop my progesterone at 12 weeks but now I'm scared to stop . This is when I stopped with my daughter but I'm afraid something will happen or I don't know.
@sparklingdiamond I was shocked at how scary it was to stop. I was so excited about the idea of stopping until I actually could. Then it was terrifying. I ran out of pills exactly at 12 weeks so it forced the issue but I am with you. Its hard.
Okay so this probably sounds weird, but we broke down and looked at the NIPT email to see baby’s sex. I’ve been wanting to post something, but then I get nervous. Somehow it seems like a jinx to say, “we are having...”. This is dumb, right?
@sparklingdiamond I felt the same when I had to stop mine last pregnancy. I think weaning off of them is a really good idea.
@TJtheGoat tellllllll ussssss! Haha! But in all seriousness, I get wanting to just keep it in. I feel like once you find out, it changes how you view the pregnancy and makes the connection different. We didn’t share what DD1 was and it was so special to have our own secret.
@sparklingdiamond@meatballs37 yeah it feels totally different. I’m honestly a little freaked out. I think this might actually work out, which is scary to get my hopes up too high. But you guys are my safe space and I’ve been dying to tell someone so....we are having a boy!
Wahooooo! Breaking the girl streak! It didn’t sink in for me on what we were having until two days later. It makes it so much more real after you find out. I bet in two days time it will sink in more for you as the new normal! Congrats boy mama!
@TJtheGoat Yay, a boy!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! You're right about finding out the sex making it feel more real. You are making me want to know so bad

@eleven_ thank you! But I really love the idea of team green so you have to stay strong lol. I’ll be so excited to hear everything when your baby is born.
@TJtheGoat ahhh so excited for you! I'm still having a hard time believing I will get to bring this baby home. But I wanted to know the sex the second I could. I could never be team green lol.
@TJtheGoat Congratulations on finding out! Yay for a little boy!! 💙
I may be going crazy right now, but I’m pretty sure I just felt flutters. I’m 14 weeks tomorrow with #2 so I don’t think it’s completely impossible. And I didn’t realize how reassuring it is to PGAL brain to actually feel something. I can’t wait til these get stronger!
@TJthegoat Yay for your little boy! It always makes me feel more connected to the pregnancy when I find out. I'm going to be impatiently waiting until the end of next week to find out what we're having!
@srscott3
Definitely possible! I felt the twins at 14 weeks for sure!
I didn’t feel DD until like 18 weeks, but she had an anterior placenta. I can’t wait to feel this one move for sure!
Appointment today at 11 CST. I am super nervous since MS has been gone since Sunday. I’m 12 + 4 so maybe this is just the end of it? If the appointment goes well, we will make it public. I think I’m gonna go grocery shopping to pass the time. Maybe even clean the house up a bit. Tick tock.
Thinking of you @meatballs37! Funny enough that was my exact complaint to my dr at my 11 week appointment. She asked, “How are you feeling?” and I said, “Um... really good. Which concerns me.” But she was awesome and said, “I hear that all the time around this time! Totally normal.” FX that girl in there is doing well and has just decided to give you a break! ❤️
I hope your appointment goes well today @meatballs37!
Congrats on a little boy @TJtheGoat. I agree that knowing the sex definitely comes with some new emotions, it makes it feel a lot more real.
AFM- 2nd ultrasound is today at 4 pm CST. This day is going to drag. My H is coming with me but we have to bring our son with us because of the timing so he's going to be in the waiting room since we aren't ready for him to know yet. I wish having one good ultrasound gave me some confidence going in, but nope, I'm still terrified.

@coco2787 I know exactly how you feel. I think PGAL brain makes it impossible to relax until the baby is born safely. I hope you have a great u/s this afternoon!
@srscott3 I swear I’ve felt movement too I’ve been telling myself it’s way to early and it’s gas but this week I’m going with flutters, it makes me feel better mentally so 😁 @meatballs37@coco2787 thinking about you both today, I hope everything goes well with your appointments
@meatballs37 and @coco2787 I will be thinking of you all today! I hope today speeds by.
@TJtheGoat congrats on having a son! It is really so much fun.
Man being team green is so much harder this time. With my 1st pregnancy I was in a weird team green bliss bubble. I even confessed to a coworker the other day that if DH can't make it to the AS I may find out and just not tell him. hahaha. I was the one who completely pushed to not find out the 1st time now it is him. I love the idea of being team green but for some reason it seems hard right now.
