How many weeks are you? 
20wks

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
Physically ok. Emotionally, status quo. I feel baby move, but less than I think I was feeling DD1 at this point. I know that I had felt her on the outside around now, but not yet with this one. I try to remind myself different babies, different placenta (both anterior), etc. But pgal brain.... 

Any appointment updates?
I see my doc Friday 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? 
Most I can think of are a month or so away. 

GTKY: what is your favorite board/card game? 
Mmonopoly is my favorite board game, but I don't get to play it much. DHDH and I play Phase 10 sometimes and I was an early adopter of Exploding Kittens. Also, not really a board/card game, but I like Telestrations with a larger group.

How many weeks are you? 21wks

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? surprisingly good (DH has even commented that ive done a good job of staying calm and worrying less) i think the 20wk AS really made a difference in my outlook.

Any appointment updates? regular checkup tomorrow (i dont even like going to these appts. I check my own weight, BP, and baby’s heartbeat at home weekly) i do have a fetal echo feb 7 that i am looking forward to.

Rants/Raves/Questions? rants: not liking how much im slowing down. I can be busy all day long but at the end of the day not much really got done. Im going to have to shorten my daily tasks list to something more realistic. 
Questions: i am overweight (i think maybe even obese 😳) all of which due to pcos and 5 years of fertilty treatments and procedures. Prior to all this i was normal weight. Anyways i have not gained any weight since becoming pregnant. I weigh myself weekly and i bounce between being down 2 pounds and breaking even. My stomach has definitely gotten bigger as i can no longer see my feet. At my AS they said LO was measuring 20 wks exactly and was around 12oz. I know my doctor recommended no more than a 15lb weight gain- so will I gain more weight later, should i be concerned? I eat healthy and dont go hungry.

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? nope

GTKY: what is your favorite board/card game? rumikub!!

@justharrison If baby is doing well and you are eating healthy, I wouldn't worry. Most weight gain is second half of pregnancy (like 3rd tri is 1lb every 1-2wks for an average person, if I remember right). I am also overweight with pcos and am up about 5lb so far.

How many weeks are you? 23W+5D

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Feeling good. I started walking more which has helped me feel better about my health. 

Any appointment updates? Nope

Rants/Raves/Questions? I started walking with a belly support belt, it really helped with my back discomfort if I was walking more then half an hour on the track.

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? No

GTKY: what is your favorite board/card game? Oh I don't know! I'm kind of lame and like puzzles better haha

@justharrison  i feel you with the weight gain from fertility treatments.  With my first pregnancy in 2013, I ended up weighing less after giving birth than when I got pregnant because of the GD diet I followed the last part of my pregnancy.  So like others have said- if dr isn’t worried and baby is doing fine, and you are eating healthy, try not to worry. 


How many weeks are you? 22+3

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
feeling tired physically but emotionally feeling less anxious since the anatomy scan. 

Any appointment updates?  My next appts aren’t until the 29th/30th and will have to do GD test. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? None 

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)?  Feeling baby kick now- with my first I had an anterior placenta so never felt her like I feel this LO. 

GTKY: what is your favorite board/card game? I LOVE games.  All kinds- favorite card game I would have to say spades or Euchre.
