Team: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): A navel orange
Upcoming appts: August 19th
How are you feeling?: pretty good other than sleep being iffy.
Rants/Raves: Got a fetal doppler last week and was able to listen to the baby at home.
Questions: none
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now?
Masterchef on Hulu and criminal minds reruns on Netflix. I love the defenders series and arrow on Netflix as well (huge superhero buffs) but we finished those a little while back.
Team: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): naval orange
Upcoming appts: August 21st
How are you feeling?: Other than raging acne and heart burn, I’m feeling great.
Rants/Raves: Not so much a rant/rave, but we booked our trip back to Ohio to visit family in the fall. We’re both really excited and my MIL offered to throw a card shower for me with my husband’s side of the family (my side of the family all lives here so no one will be left out) while there. Considering she didn’t participate in our wedding planning at all, this was a wonderful surprise and got me really excited that she’s excited for her next grand baby.
Questions: This weekend, for some reason, I started to feel some anxiety about the baby and whether or not they’re doing okay. I was considering buying a Doppler so I can have peace of mind in those moments, but I’m worried by all the people saying it’s hard to find their heartbeat. How easy is it to use?
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? We have a media box from Amazon and it lets us access everything online. No need for Hulu or Netflix subscriptions, paid $70 and I have it all! Anyways, this weekend we started watching Peaky Blinders and Handmaids Tale.
Team: pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): naval orange
Upcoming appts: just a regular checkup on 8/22
How are you feeling?: absolutely amazing!! (Which is why I’m finally back here) It happened overnight and I’m so thankful to not be feeling like soggy death anymore.
Rants/Raves: just going to rave some more about how great I’m feeling! I even have a ton of energy! This is a miracle ladies. Ok I’ll shut up now.
Questions: anyone else still nursing? My midwife said it’s common to lose your supply around 20 weeks...any of y’all who’ve nursed through previous pregnancies mind sharing your experience?
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? The FBI files right now (I’m on a true crime kick right now for some reason) but I really liked Siren which I just finished.
Team: Pink
Baby is the size of a(n): Peach
Upcoming appts: August 23, but will likely get moved up due to placenta previa diagnosis
How are you feeling?: I’m not in a good place this morning. I posted on the Questions thread yesterday that I had to visit the ER yesterday due to bleeding. They diagnosed me with placenta previa, and said I had bacteria in my urine sample. I’m on pelvic rest and waiting for my OB to call for an appointment. I know that there is a high percentage this will resolve on its own, but I’m feeling really worried and down about it. The risks are so scary. I’m trying very hard to stay positive and not let this take the joy out of my last pregnancy.
Rants/Raves: See above for Rant. Rave is that this is a short week for me at work - we are going out of town for a long weekend later this week and I’m looking forward to getting away.
Questions: I was going to ask about Dopplers and brands others use. Thanks for the suggestion above!
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Stranger Things and Bachelor in Paradise!
Team: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): As tall as a crayon today
Upcoming appts: Tomorrow
How are you feeling?: I am feeling alright. Really tired and nauseous today. But this weekend was kind of stressful, so I think it might just be a hangover from that.
Rants/Raves: Rant. I really need my husband to start feeling better because I really need help around the house and really need the soon to be nursery cleaned out.
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? I am starting the newest season of OITNB on Netflix today.
Team: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): Maple Leaf according to the app...
Upcoming appts: August 29th
How are you feeling?: I thought I was entering the 2nd trimester bliss, but I woke up feeling both queasy and tired.
Rants/Raves: This rant is for my 2 year old. She was a good sleeper previously, but now is screaming and crying several times throughout the night. This definitely isn't helping me feel energized.
Questions: When do the sleep regressions end??? high school?!
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? We just finished an Indian horror show on Netflix called Typewriter, which was fun. I'm also wrapping up the final season of Orange is the new Black.
@jynjer91 isn't it crazy how fast things turn around? Suddenly about 2 weeks ago I had energy again and I almost didn't know what to do with myself.
@therealbitts Yay another Bachelor fan! Though Paradise is the only one I don't actually watch. I watched season 1 and just can't with it, so I just read spoilers and leave it at that. 😂
@bg122785 So sorry your husband is sick. Hopefully he'll be better soon.
AFM...
EDD/W+D: Feb 1 I saw my OB today and I guess my due date hasn't actually changed. I just have a big baby.
Team: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): navel orange (based on the old, modified due date)
Upcoming appts: Sept 6 for my anatomy scan and Sept 12 for my next check-up
How are you feeling?: Really good. Still having to pee a fair amount but it turns out the baby is sitting on my bladder, so no wonder. My brother told me the baby has a water bed now. 🤣
Rants/Raves: Rant - round ligament pain started in earnest over the weekend, but my OB can prescribe a support belt once I get a bit bigger so that's good. Raves - not pregnancy related, but I finally got my official job offer and start in 2 weeks. For preggo things, we heard the baby's heartbeat at my appointment today and it was going strong at around 144 bpm. My bump also popped over the last week and a half. We got together with MH's family over the weekend for our niece's birthday and my FIL and both of MH's brothers were commenting. It was funny though because it was always prefaced with, "please tell me if this is rude..." I was not at all offended, just glad to be past the awkward looking like I ate too much phase. Plus I am a small person with a short torso, so I figured I would be showing early.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? The Good Wife. Over the winter my husband and I were watching Scrubs together, but that is on hold while the weather is nice.
Also, don't Google the things if you can avoid it. Dr. Google likes to make everything sound horrible which just adds to the anxiety.
Sending so many love and hugs your way.
Team: finding out and anxiously waiting...
Baby is the size of a(n): avocado 🥑
Upcoming appts: 8/22
How are you feeling?: definitely starting to feel back to my old self except for a few random symptoms here and there (joint pain, headaches, heartburn)
Rants/Raves: rave- at the beach for a week with my hubs’ family and next week we’ll spend most of the week at the beach with my family! I’m also slightly starting to pop and am just waiting for it to fully pop so I don’t look so awkwardly chunky! Rant- although I love being at the beach with family, I get SO tired, especially of interacting with other people since I usually spend most days by myself. Not that anyone is bothering me or that I’m having a bad time, I’m just so sleepy and need some down time for myself.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Handmaid’s Tale, The Good Place, Last Chance U, and the usual background rotation of Friends, The Office or Parks and Rec!
Team: finding out on August 23rd!
Baby is the size of a(n):beet
Upcoming appts: August 26th with my baby doc but I have a gender ultrasound at a private clinic on The 23rd
How are you feeling?: still pretty sick and tired. No real appetite
Rants/Raves: I want to eat again 😅
Questions: this is my third pregnancy so I’m good lol
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Trying to finish OITNB
EDD/W+D: 2/2; 16 weeks
Team: Blue
Baby is the size of a(n): chipmunk
Upcoming appts: Endo visit 9/3 and full anatomy scan 9/13 (!)
How are you feeling?: Better, mostly "normal" but baby brain is starting to set in so I've just been staring into space recently trying to remember what I was going to do 10 sec ago
Rants/Raves: Rant- school started again this week for me and ugh, just don't want to add anything else to my plate right now but I gotta get this degree so I can get a proper adult job
Rave- met another of the OBs in the practice this week and really liked him- really nice and positive. Also! TSH is almost normal!!! Down from almost 12 to almost 4 in 4wks 🙏🙏🙏 And finally, have mostly convinced my husband that moving back down to Atlanta where our family is after having the baby is a much better idea than trying to stay up in NY without a support system. Good week overall!
Questions:
GTKY: What are you watching on Netflix (or Hulu, etc.) right now? Finally catching up on The Crown and the new season of Dark.
