Baby is the size of a(n): tater tot
Upcoming appointments: possible US tomorrow... if not, first OB appt on Halloween
How are you feeling? Still pretty sick and just so incredibly exhausted
Raves/Rants: yesterday, DH, I, and DD all took a 2+ hour nap. Very necessary since DH is sick, I’m exhausted, and DD was a piece of work!
Questions: how many people have used their doppler already with success?
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts?
I love crime podcasts and I recently listened to To Live and Die in LA. I enjoyed it!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Cherries
Upcoming appointments: U/S and first OB (not RE!) appt on Halloween! Very grateful it's first thing in the morning, I know I can't function with afternoon appointments. Too stressful.
How are you feeling? Pretty okay. Still nauseous. Working hard on controlling it today because...
Raves/Rants: ... We're on our way to Hawaii! I did well on the first flight, a little queasy but eating lots of small snacks and drinking water and it seems to be working. I'm really excited to have a relaxing week with DH.
Questions: What exactly does a non-stress test entail? I've read up some but they're all a little vague - hooked up to monitors for x amount of time, watches baby, but... Do they do anything else? Are they trying to cause stress and see response, or is it strictly watching? I just like knowing what I'm going into.
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I've just been binging Big Mouth. It's so awkward but so true 😂
EDD/weeks+days: 9w3d
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out. Hopefully with NIPT but I need to find out cost
Baby is the size of a(n): inch
Upcoming appointments: two weeks, I think?
How are you feeling? Meh. Feeling a little better, especially in the mornings, but still getting nauseous and retching. Threw up bile this morning which is always fun.
Raves/Rants: I hope I can get excited about this pregnancy soon.
Questions:
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I'm watching Jane the Virgin these days. It's fine. Evergreen shows: The Wire, The West Wing, Parks & Rec, The Office.
DD #2: May 2020
Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
@louessbee Enjoy Hawaii! I had a non-stress test with DD when I was 41+5. They hooked me up to something that measured her HB. I just layed there. They had me switch sides and drink ice water and one point cause she was snoozing and they wanted an awake reading. Not sure how it goes when they're smaller.
@catem07 Hope you feel better soon!
EDD/weeks+days: 5/17 / 10+2
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out.
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry
Upcoming appointments: 11/11
How are you feeling? I am slowly getting a bit more energy (my coworker who knows even said I seem more energetic today). I still sleep 10+ hours a night. Nausea needs snacks to be kept at bay still but it is a little better. Food aversions are strong still.
Raves/Rants: DH made eggs yesterday and filled the house with a terrible nauseating smell. In his defense we didn't know eggs set my nausea off. Bleh!
Questions: None.
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I'll I'm doing is rewatching old stuff because I can't make it through an episode of anything without falling asleep!!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: I had my first appointment today! And next is scheduled for 11/8!
How are you feeling? I’m feeling great! Still exhausted but no other symptom
Raves/Rants: we have open house today so I’ll be at work until 9pm which just stinks.
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts?
Shows: just finished the righteous gemstones (HBO) and it’s hilarious!
Podcast: My Favorite Murder, Last Podcast on the Left, and Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend are my favorite right now!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry or guitar pick (or as DD calls it, a pickle)
Upcoming appointments: NT scan on November 7
How are you feeling? Not bad today, but I have a crazy week ahead and I always feel gross the morning after a late night or busy previous day
Raves/Rants: At our marching band competition on Saturday, a bunch of my leadership kids decided to leave the school we were at (after our performance) and walk at least a mile off campus to get boba. They didn't ask my permission or any other adult, and they were gone for an hour and a half. I read them all the riot act when we got back to our school later that evening, and since then I've been getting apology letters and emails from all of them. I'm happy with how I handled the situation, but the fact that it happened at all is still getting my blood boiling.
Questions: None
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I'm currently binge watching The Office for like the 29752th time, so I'm not the right person to ask.
EDD/weeks+days: May 23rd / 9+3
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Cherry / soda can tab
Upcoming appointments: First OB appointment 10/28. Had my ultrasound on 10/11 and it was amazing, definitely gave me some much needed reassurance
How are you feeling?: Nausea seems to be getting better, but still having a lot of food aversions and exhaustion.
Raves/Rants: I feel so out of breath when walking. Every time I walk my dog (1.5-2 miles) I feel like I've run the same distance. Is this normal? Also noticed this week I've been getting hiccups a lot
Questions: Has anyone been good with working out? If so, how do you find the motivation with all the exhaustion? At time point I'm hoping my energy will pick up in a couple weeks so I'm able to do anything
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts?
If you like history there's a really good podcast called the History Chicks where they talk exclusively about women in history - highly recommend!
EDD/weeks+days: May 12th, 11 weeks + 0
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): lime
Upcoming appointments: next Monday for NT scan and hopefully cell-free fetal DNA
How are you feeling? Still some food aversions, new boob pains, still exhausted in the evenings. Swear I am feeling the baby move, but I may be delusional. (As a STM, feel like I kind of know what it feels like..but also really may just be too early...)
Raves/Rants: still nervous about telling my employer. Lots going on right now that is changing roles, so it’s not a good time.
Questions: none
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I enjoy the Sporkful, Planet Money, and back episodes of The Longest Shortest Time
@aneggnamedalex I have been told the shortness of breath is normal and related to increased blood volume. I'm definitely in the same boat.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: Tuesday my actual first appointment since the last one confirmed and was to get the IUD out so I have to get caught up on bloodwork and everything.
How are you feeling? Honestly, really good. I had HG with my first so not throwing up multiple times a day is amazing. I am however annoyed at my nipples and how sensitive they are already.
Raves/Rants: I think I am still in shock, it has been a crazy week.
Questions:
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? I am rewatching Friends before it goes off Netflix so not really haha. Although I do love anything on Investigation Discovery and Criminal Minds.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green!
Baby is the size of a(n): I think raspberry?
Upcoming appointments: Not until Nov 15
How are you feeling? pretty crappy most of the time.
Raves/Rants: Rants is that I’ve been traveling for work so much my house is a complete mess. But the kids are alive and solo parenting is hard, so I can’t be too fed up with DH.
Questions: nope
GTKY: Do you have any recommended shows/movies/podcasts? Dead to me (Netflix) I thought was really good.
