Weeks/EDD? 11w4d / 9/14

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? SO TIRED. I’m normally exhausted my entire pregnancies, so fully prepared for it not to let up, but the last week or so I’m extra super tired. 😴 

Any appointment updates? NIPT came back low risk for everything. 😭😭😭 I checked this morning, not expecting them until late this week or next Monday, and they were available already! NT scan is next Monday. 

Any big milestones? NIPT coming back low risk is so huge, since that’s when we found out something was wrong with our daughter. Between that and my ultrasound looking normal next week, I’m feeling A LOT better, but will feel even better after my full ultrasound next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m too tired to even think of anything. 😅

@runningyogimama what amazing news!! ❤️

Weeks/EDD? 11w5d, Sept 13

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Emotionally, still some nerves. Someone I know had some very bad pregnancy news. So I am anxious to get NIPT done and the results. I think then we’ll tell more people? Physically, good, tired from walking 9-10 miles per day the last 4 days in Disney. Nausea didn’t bother me at all until today on the plane. I’ve got to get on a flight to Vegas this Thursday. So basically 48 hours home, then off again. 

Any appointment updates? NT and NIPT on 3/6

Any big milestones? We’ve passed them!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Natm.

@runningyogimama I’m so happy to hear that your NIPT results came back already, and said low risk for everything! 

Weeks / EDD?
9w5d   /   due September 27th

Any big milestones?

During my last pregnancy I miscarried at about 9 weeks and it was discovered at my 11 week ultrasound. So I’m in the middle of all that right now.

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
My nerves are through the roof. Every twinge in my tummy area makes me think the baby may have just passed away. I’m so scared.

Any appointment updates?
I had an ultrasound this past Wednesday at 9 weeks and the baby was still alive at that time! I got to see her move her arms and head, which I never got to experience with my last baby. My next appointment will be March 8th at 11 weeks. I don’t expect her to be with us anymore by then. I can’t believe I have to wait another 9 days until that appointment. My RE said he would see me any time I needed reassurance but I’m trying to resist making an extra appointment, since they were only two weeks apart in the first place.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I wanted to say thank you all for letting me express my real fears and feelings in here! 💛

Weeks/EDD? 10w6d / September 20

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Exhausted

Any appointment updates? Next week for NT scan and OB appointment

Any big milestones? Today, I'm farther along than any of my previous pregnancies.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Even though I slept all night, why do I wake up and feel like I haven't slept at all? It's been like this most of last week too. Now my eyes hurt from fatigue and since yesterday, I'm barely functional at work. I had to edit my post like 2-3 times just to make it "readable"...

Weeks/EDD? 10+6 / Sept 20 

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Exhausted! And angry. The hormones really make me impatient and a short fuse. Ugh. 

Any appointment updates? Had a great scan on Friday! That was reassuring. 

Any big milestones? Once NIPT comes back, I think I’ll feel ok.

@runningyogimama so glad your nipt results came back as low risk. What a relief!

@starlight8323 I’m sorry that you’re in the middle of all your hard milestones. Thinking of you and crossing it all that your scan next week is nothing short of just a sweet little baby dancing around. 

@froggerblue also so exhausted and find it soooo hard to work. I just want to nap!

Weeks/EDD? 12w4d, Sept 9th

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Emotionally I’m well! We got some good news this week that I pray holds me until our next appointment in a month. Physically I’m having minor twinges in my back/butt. Paying attention but not overly concerned. My nausea has been MUCH better the last few days. Still gagging which sucks but thankful for some relief. 

Any appointment updates? We had a scan on Monday with the OB and a scan on Tuesday with MFM. Monday baby was active. Tuesday baby was chilling. Between both they said that baby is measuring on target, good heart beat, normal fluid in neck. Got NIPT done on Tuesday. They talked about delivery weeks, which was so surreal.

Any big milestones? I’ve never made it this far with any pregnancy. I’m just so grateful. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? I’ve been so cautious with my emotions because of previous losses… but after this weeks appointments was the first time I’ve felt excited for this pregnancy. We told a few more people. It’s still scary telling people. Overall, I’m joyful and hopeful.
