Hope all you mamas had a great week last week!

EDD/weeks+days: June 25/8+4

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out as soon as possible!

Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry and/or peanut!

Upcoming appointments: First appointment is this Wednesday.

Rants/raves/how are you feeling? Tired and nauseous, especially when I start to get hungry. Very sore boobs. My olfactory is on overdrive and I've already had enough of it.

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? Zero. I was one of those girls that argued when people would say "oh you'll change your mind." This was an unplanned and most unexpected pregnancy, but I'm coming to terms with it! My plans now are one and done 😂

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out

Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry

Upcoming appointments: Bloodwork tomorrow and OB intake next Tuesday (finally!)

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Exhausted, nauseated, already unable to tolerate waist bands or any pressure on my belly (toddler elbows are THE WORST), sore boobs, constipation -- yup, full on first tri. It's much worse much earlier for me than my first pregnancy, and that's disappointing me. I'm also totally incapable of handling our freak heat (90F+ today). Bleh.

Questions: 

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? Two. But I wanted to have them much earlier... life has a funny way of humbling you sometimes. We are over the moon that we are actually having baby #2, but I'm definitely not loving pregnancy #2.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out

Baby is the size of a(n): Green Olive

Upcoming appointments: Thursday I have an U/S with my RE

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? A mix of excitement and nervousness. *TW* I’ve had two 1st tri losses this year and am now officially further along than I’ve been all year. I am just hoping so hard this baby is my rainbow and Thursday will be a great appt. but PGAL brain sucksssss

Questions: nope

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now?
I always wanted 3. And I definitely wanted them way closer together. But alas life doesn’t always work out how you want. And well infertility and loss suck. So here I am so happy to be pregnant with #2 and praying it sticks. I still would like to have a 3rd one day too. But it’s taken 4 years to get to #2 and I’m not getting younger so idk.

@hanshotfirst77 Sending you much love, mama. I'm PGAIF and I feel so much for you PGAL moms. I don't feel like the sadness and anxiety of IF ever really left us, just sort of got backgrounded in the noise of parenting. All my fingers and toes are crossed that this is your healthy rainbow.

Echoing this.
We did IVF for one and two took much longer. IF will always be with us, unfortunately. Hugs mamas

EDD/weeks+days: 7w6d- June 30

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out asap. We already have 2 boys

Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry, I think

Upcoming appointments: ultrasound and intake appointment tomorrow 

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Nausea still, constipation, over sensitive nose, already hating pants and peeing like it's my job

Questions: what's the blood test I need/should do around 9 weeks?

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? 
When I was younger I wanted 3. Wheb we discovered we needed IVF to have a baby I was thrilled for 1. Another fertility treatment brought us our 2nd baby 5 yrs later and I am now pregnant with number 3, on our own. Shocked to say the least. We will be done after this miracle

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out ASAP

Baby is the size of a(n): postage stamp 

Upcoming appointments: had my first OB appointment last week do not till December 12th. 

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Still feel a little queasy and this baby does not appreciate it if I dont eat 3 meals a day, so I'm eating more now than before pregnancy.  Boobs are better but now constipation has struck.  Also tomorrow is my birthday and I'm doing it up preggo style Prenatal massage and mexican food!!!


GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? 4 and DH wanted 1.  Now we want 3 but IF sucks and it takes FOREVER to get pregnant.  Luckily our RE said just come back as soon as we want #3 we dont have to wait so maybe # 3 won't take as long, I'm not getting any younger.

Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry

Upcoming appointments: Dec 4

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Feel hungover pretty much just all the time. And peeing constantly.

Questions: 

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? I always wanted 2. We started later than I always planned so I'm still hoping for two even though I'm in my 30s with #1.

@kyrwyn @baybeesunflower Thanks, It really does stay with you.

@ReneeJ2011 Happy birthday! Your plans sound awesome!

EDD/weeks+days: 8+6

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out

Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry

Upcoming appointments: Friday afternoon I have my first appointment.  I had one a couple weeks ago but when I got there I found out that even though the OB was in network, the group practice under which she bills is excluded by my company.  So...back to the drawing board.

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling?  Nauseous, sore boobs, but that's about it.

Questions: 

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now?  When I was really young I wanted 8.  After having kids I wanted 2 because that was the amount I felt we could best care for financially and emotionally.  Now...we're having 3.

Hey ladies, I'm due 6/26 and feeling so much jealousy towards (it seems) everyone else in the June 2020 Moms group who seems to be closing out morning sickness. I hate having the later due date for the group. This is my third pregnancy, and I know feeling better is still about 4 weeks away for me. The misery!

I can go Friday for the MaterniT blood draw and can't wait to find out the gender. We have two girls now and am expecting a third princess is on the way. Mostly though, I'm hopeful for a healthy baby. I elected for an amniocentesis last pregnancy due to an increased risk of Downs. I'm getting the blood test this time to hopefully take away all of the anxiety I felt in between my ultrasound and the amniocentesis results. 

@JessiBride same with baby dreams! I have always wanted a big family, but financially, it seemed like having 2 was best. Now I'm pregnant with a surprise baby #3!

EDD/weeks+days: June 21/9w3d

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out eventually!

Baby is the size of a(n): Cherry, grape, pecan

Upcoming appointments: Nothing for another couple weeks now

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? I’m feeling suspiciously good. Like just a bit queasy in the morning and evening but otherwise not nearly as tired as I was and my boobs are only a tiny bit sore. I’m trying to be happy about feeling better but it’s definitely also a bit worrisome. 

Questions: 

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now?
I wanted to have 4 for the longest time when I was a kid. Now I think we’ll be one and done, maybe eventually have a second in a few years.

EDD/weeks+days: June 29th 8 weeks 2 days

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:  finding out

Baby is the size of a(n): uh not sure, super tiny lol

Upcoming appointments: had an ultrasound today, not sure when next appointment is yet. 

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Like DEATH. Morning sickness AKA all day sickness is kicking my butt hard. 

Questions:

GTKY: How many kids did you want when you were younger? What are your plans now? Idk like 3 maybe? This will be #5 for me. I don't think I would have ever guessed if have this many. 😂

EDD/weeks+days: June 25, 2020 . 9w today!

Team Finding Out: Green

Baby is the size of a(n): Olive

Upcoming appointments: U/S today at 1:45pm (counting the minutes)

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling?: This morning is the first morning since conception that I have woken up without sore breasts and nausea. I'm worried because there was some concern about possible low amniotic fluid at my 6w scan, but it was too early to tell. Today we'll find out how baby is doing and if the fluid level is ok. I haven't cried the entire pregnancy (1st timer) but I find myself fighting back tears and extremely sensitive this morning. 

Questions: Anyone go a day recently without symptoms?

GTKY: When I was younger I thought I might adopt a child and be a single mother someday. Now with my partner I can imagine 2-3 a mix of bio and adoption.

hanshotfirst77

@nataliesecayo Good luck at your appt today, I have one today too! From what I understand it's perfectly normal for symptoms to come and go. But it certainly doesnt help with first tri anxiety. 

feelinchubby824

EDD/weeks+days: 8w 3d

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Definitely finding out, i can't wait to know!

Baby is the size of a(n):I don't' know something small I think raspberry

Upcoming appointments:Not until Dec 16th

Raves/Rants/how are you feeling? Feel blah all the time but nothing big. Nausea 24/7 but if I have something in my belly it subsides. I'm not suuuper tired during the day like I thought I would be but man do I fall asleep easy. My head hits the pillow and I'm done! I'm usually a toss and turn can't fall asleep kind of gal so I'm lovin it lol

Questions: My doc asked if I wanted to do "genetic testing" I think it's something they do around the 10 week mark. But I can't recall which one she called it. She didn't mention anything about finding out the sex, anyone have any idea which one the first might be? I'm not sure if I should do them all i don't want tons of additional costs but I would like at least one done to see if they spot anything strange, and I sure wouldn't mind finding out the gender.

GTKY: I don't even remember what I used to want, 2 maybe? That's still probably the case. I was kind of hoping for twins, get a one and done but looks like that's a nope lol
