Current mood? Still extremely anxious. I'm right around when they suspect I lost my last pregnancy so I am feeling a lot of emotions.

Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs? Next appt is the 26th. I'm right around when they suspect I lost my last pregnancy so I am feeling a lot of emotions.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary? I forgot to take my progesterone this morning and I am freaking out. I know it's not going to do any harm and I am supposed to start weaning down to one pill a day next week anyway, but I am still so on edge about it. The thought of losing this baby and having to go through first tri again gives me so much anxiety.
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers? I'm gonna go with finger sized nipples. I'd just wear a really padded bra and hope they never get cold. Although, I am sure they will at some point in which case helloooo. But maybe they would help with breastfeeding? lol

How far along are you/EDD? 8+6, 9/26. That seems SO stinking early still! WTF, time!!
Current mood? Just tired and sore.
If you haven't already/want to again, please share your loss history, if comfortable. Infant loss, suspected SIDS, 2 months old, Oct 2018.
Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs? Appt Friday with the NP for family history, intake, etc. I am seeing a new OB office from my last pregnancy because I deemed it too stressful possibly going through L&D, etc and having it be identical to the last time around - andplusalso I got to know the nurses and people at the old office and I don't know who does/doesn't know the story, so I don't want to have to answer 'hows the baby' / 'who's watching her' / etc., so am curious how they'll use our loss history in the tracking of this pregnancy, if at all. We are obviously very concerned that we could have possibly missed something last time around.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary? Rave: I have been cooking ALL THE THINGS and it's fantastic. I made soft pretzels, blueberry scones, and chocolate chip cookies this morning. My mom also told me I look like I'm feeling good, so that was nice to hear. Especially since I feel like I look like CRAP, my hairs a mess, my toddler broke all my makeup, and I'm flipping TIRED. Rant: I am so sore. My lower back and hips, especially. Preg pillow is doing nothing for it. I don't know what to do to make it better but I'll never survive 30+ more weeks of this.
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers? OK, I love this way too much, and am struggling in the most comical way to envision nipple sized fingers. Like, the length? So super short? I think I'm going to go with finger sized nipples. Also, DH keeps asking how much longer till my nips go from average to full blown bologna slices. TBH, I'm wondering the same. I know the dreaded day is coming. They always get so awkwardly big and weird. So TMI, sorry, friends.
How far along are you/EDD? 9w1d based on LMP
Current mood? Anxious, nervous, completely BSC
If you haven't already/want to again, please share your loss history, if comfortable. 3 losses in 2017, all before the 8 week mark. I'm now on daily injections in my tummy of a blood thinner, baby aspirin, extra folic acid, a few extra vitamins and weekly acupuncture.
Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs? 2nd u/s in 2 hours. My first u/s at 7w they just saw the gestational sac at 15mm. Dr didn't seem too optimistic. Now 2 weeks later we are really really really hoping to see a little bambino in there. I still have symptoms so I'm praying really hard that the last one was just too early. It's so crazy to think that in 2 hours so much can change for me.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary? I have no idea how I made it through the last 2 weeks but somehow I'm here again. Please show me a wiggly little bean today
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers? Oh boy. At first thought I'd go for the finger sized nipples but for 1, I guarantee you DH would never stop trying to play with them and for 2, after I woke with super sore nipples this morning, I would think if they were any bigger, they would hurt like a MF. So sadly I'm changing my mind and going with nipple sized fingers. And just invest in fancy gloves that mask the size.
@zuuls_mom getting over that last anniversary date will be a welcome sigh of relief. I'm now past all of mine which takes one less worry from me. Thinking of you over the next few days.
@40momma I am thinking of you and hoping so hard that there is a wiggly little one in there to see! Two weeks of limbo is so hard, but you did it! Hopefully it is smooth sailing from here on out for you.

11wks 3 days/ Sept. 7 or 9 (one of those I can't remember from the top of my head lol)
Current mood?
Nauseated to the max & been in bed reading pretty much all day so far because I am feeling very gross. It seemed like the nausea was starting to subside on the 10th week but it has returned full blast this week. I don't want anything to eat other than anything with a citrus taste.
If you haven't already and want to again, please share your loss history, if comfortable.
This is my first pregnancy.
Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs?
February 28th is my second ultrasound appointment. Really hoping to hear good news.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary?
Why is my hair always oily and what is this strange taste I keep tasting in my mouth??
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers?
I think finger sized nipples. Haha
@40momma thinking of you! We are all rooting for some good news.
@zuuls_mom ugh. So anxiety provoking to be at the same marker now, but chances are that everything is great! Do you have an appointment somewhat soon to see your little bean?
@kiddiesandkitties that’s a smart plan to change over. No need to be stressed everytime you walk into the office.
@boolala23 ugh. I hope you feel better fast. My nausea is always worse if dehydrated, tired, or acid reflux. I don’t know if that helps, but here’s hoping a day of rest gives you a good day tomorrow!

@boolala23 Is the taste in your mouth metallic? That happens during pregnancy sometimes...so weird.
@kiddiesandkitties good luck at your appointment on friday! Praying for a healthy bouncy little bean. Also, yum! I wish I could bake like that!
@zuuls_mom I'm sorry you're feeling so anxious I know it's hard. Do you have a fetal doppler? You can hear the heartbeat by now usually. Mine gives me so much reassurance. I check on baby every day.
How far along are you/EDD? 11+4, 9/6
Current mood? Stressed out. Sorry if its TMI, but I've been having some light brown mucousy dischange since Monday night. I can still hear baby on the doppler though, so that's reassuring. And my doctor doesn't want to see me unless it gets worse, which thankfully it hasnt. But I still feel like any kind of spotting is not normal at this point in the pregnancy
If you haven't already/want to again, please share your loss history, if comfortable. MMC at 9 weeks January 2017 and an infant loss 10/5/17 @ 9 days old.
Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs? We saw baby on monday and it had caught up in growth (was measuring a whole week behind at last ultrasound), and had the MaterniT21 test done. I'll start cervical length checks and weekly progesterone shots in 5 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary? I really hope this spotting stops soon. And I'm ready for some warm weather. I'm a Texas girl living in Arkansas and I can't handle this 20 degree weather, ice, and freezing rain. I wasn't made for this!
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers? Hahaha this question. Finger tipped size nipples would be ok. Nipple sized fingers wouldn't be very functional though. So I guess I go with finger sized nipples. I'd just tape em down and tuck em in.

@flowerintherain I’m experiencing the same thing. Sometimes it’s bloody mucous. Dr told me it was an irritated cervix? But dh and I have not been dtd do not sure what’s up. Keep me posted. It comes and goes for me ...

Hey all. Haven’t done a post in the main sept 19 intro thread be since I’m just not ready, but I’ve been lurking here for a bit and sending really positive sticky thoughts to everyone. PGAL is such a shitty place to be.
@kiddiesandkitties that’s super sweet of your kiddo and i definitely teared up reading it because omg 😭 kid honesty is so heartbreaking sometimes
@40momma proud of you for advocating for yourself to get seen and I hope the appt full of good news
How far along are you/EDD?
Probably 10 or 11 weeks? (dating/first ultrasound is next week)
Current mood? Really checked out in general with this pregnancy. Trying to find ways to feel enthusiastic but mostly just waiting for the end, whenever that happens.
If you haven't already/want to again, please share your loss history, if comfortable.
**TW: live baby. My kiddo was born in Sept 15** and since then I’ve had five miscarriages. Most were around the 8 week mark but a year ish ago I had a miscarriage at home at the 14 week mark and it was pretty horrific.
Any upcoming appointments, milestones, loss anniversaries, EDDs? The entire first trimester feels like a shitty anniversary of everything that could go wrong. And this is my 7th time being in the first trimester so I’m feeling really over all the symptoms and discomfort.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary? I’m soooo tired of this. I feel like I’m just waiting for a miscarriage and it’s no fun and it’s impossible to feel enthusiastic. My partner is excited and on board and the optimistic one which is nice but I’m just puking constantly and physically miserable and too nauseous to take my bipolar meds so I’m a wreck. Which is why I’m dumping all my angst into this post (sorry not sorry? also thanks?)
ETA thanks to everyone who posted about at home fetal dopplers. I ordered one and am tentatively looking forward to it arriving
GTKY: I'm taking these in a new direction and it's abouts to get weird. Buckle up. Would you rather have finger sized nipples or nipple sized fingers?
This is a really horrifying question that makes me queasy trying to picture lol but I’ll say finger sized nipples. I’m an artist and very hands on so I don’t want little nubs to work with.

My health care has been fairly meh—I had an ultrasound tech tell me maybe I imagined a positive pregnancy test with my first miscarriage. I also had a low thyroid issue show up in a blood test after a miscarriage. For the 14weeker (nn Stormy) I think they said the placenta wasn’t in a great place? That memory is definitely fuzzy though. I also am a (light) smoker and I’ve had a hard time in the past going cold turkey (not this time tho— not even a whiff of nicotine since the positive rest). So I think between lithium and light smoking and occasional low thyroid levels I get the shrug and meh of life happens from my doctors.
