How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Pretty good as long as it’s not the day after my progesterone injection. I’m back to feeling terrible for about 24 hours after & have had to take Tylenol to dull the muscle pain so that I can even fall asleep.
 
We told family and close friends over the past few days, so I’m a little relieved because that made me so nervous. I plan to post something on social media later this week, I wanted to do it before the election because I’m worried it may not feel appropriate to post/celebrate for the next several weeks 😬

Any upcoming appointments? I just had an ultrasound last week, and I had my first Monitrice visit yesterday, which is prenatal care with a midwife at home alongside regular OB care (then they serve as a doula also). It was great to sit and talk with her for an hour and a half vs feeling rushed out of my Dr appointments.

GTKY: What food or drink are you missing most while pregnant? Honestly kind of missing wine and I didn’t have this issue last time 😂

@ckmb_1250 how long do you need to keep taking progesterone for? and cant wait to hear about your social media announcement!

How far along are you? 10+3

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? so tired! and the nausea kicks in after like 4pm every day which is annoying but overall 

Any upcoming appointments? tomorrow! so excited to hopefully hear heartbeat again!

GTKY: What food or drink are you missing most while pregnant? besides the obvious wine?? i never thought i'd say this but cold cuts!! i dont even like them, its just such an easy lunch for DH and i WFH.  and to heat it up just takes more time and is annoying.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Not bad, still a bit tired, but overall better I think. Also no nausea since the week end.... it almost worries me but I also know deep down that at this point it can definitely normal. I find a lot of comfort in my little baby bump. Reminds me that things must be growing properly in there.

Any upcoming appointments? Yes! November 3 - high risk OB / November 6 - NT scan + blood draw / November 9 - Cerclage

GTKY: What food or drink are you missing most while pregnant? A nice cool glass of rosé wine. @asf0613 it's too funny about the cold cuts, because I never want to eat that and since yesterday I've been making myself a daily ham sandwich on toasted bread with mustard. It does suck to cook the ham, but I really enjoy the sandwich!

I'm a rebel. I don't heat cold cuts. If people were getting listeria left and right from it, I would, but The only recent things people have been getting it from is ice cream and lettuce. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@texas_t don't even say that about my ice cream!!!

ckmb_1250

@asf0613 I’m not sure! I just halved my dosage which I was hoping would help my side effects, but it hasn’t. Likely not past 20 weeks.
i posted our announcement photo in the Annoucements thread last week 🙂

@ckmb_1250 omg yes you did! dont mind me over here
and hopefully maybe the symptoms will slowly subside between now and then too if you just adjusted dosage

How far along are you? 13+2

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I am starting to feel better but still pretty tired, not like I was but still not great. 

Any upcoming appointments? None until 11/19

GTKY: What food or drink are you missing most while pregnant? I am missing a cucumber lime vodka with simply limeade after particularly draining days.
