How are you feeling? crappy cuz all the lovely (sarcasm) first trimester symptoms have kicked off. Which I am happy about but also not. LOL. Weird place to be. And getting more anxious as the first early appointment comes closer. Our first stopped growing at 6w, and this will be at almost 7w. I'm just hoping for a good visit.

Raves/Rants: We are all over being sick. Thank god. Now to throw #1 back into daycare and wait for the next bug bah.

Questions: nope

EDD/Weeks + days: 6 Weeks, 2 Days

Baby is the size of a(n): My app says a pea.

Upcoming appointments: I have an early viability ultrasound on Monday - I had one last week, but it was too early since my cycles are long. Hoping to see an embryo this time and make sure things are all progressing well.

How are you feeling? @stashattack Feeling very similarly! First trimester symptoms are definitely kicking in, but they make me feel like things are progressing as they should, so as sick as I feel, I'm happy.  Wishing you the best at your next appointment!

Raves/Rants: Don't really have anything - just anxiously awaiting my next appointment.

Questions: So, since we've had a loss before, we definitely don't want to share any news until the second trimester.  Any recommendations on how to hide it around family/friends? Easter was awkward because I ALWAYS enjoy a glass of wine and we have some other birthdays, etc. coming up.

@stashattack Hi! Happy to see you here!

EDD/Weeks + days: 12/25/2023, 4w1d (I think)

Baby is the size of a(n): sesame seed

Upcoming appointments: Waiting on call back to see if I should be getting any extra blood work after my hormones were imbalanced in jan. Scheduled first appt at 9 weeks for ultrasound and visit. 

How are you feeling? Nervous, terrified, cautious, elated, shocked, all. the. things.

Raves/Rants: I had some very very light "spotting"- can't even call it that because it was only when I checked. From Friday to this morning and that has me nervous. But, it's stopped now so hopefully it stays away. Rave: I'M FREAKIN PREGNANT. HOLY S---

Questions; None

7 weeks.
Baby is a blueberry.
Update visit in two weeks, also have to visit the high risk clinic.

Symptoms win this round. This last week has been nausea City and exhaustion on the side. My goal this week is to try to get some steps in.

@sunshine134 nice to see another grad here from TTPG!

@dmcg17 fingers crossed for you on Monday! My advice is super not helpful... Live 3hrs away from friends and family LOL makes it easy! I get not wanting to tell people. Hang in there!

@chelleylin hope your visit goes well in 2 weeks. I'm also hoping to stay more active this pregnancy. I was such a potato the first go around during the first trimester cuz of nausea!

Baby is the size of a(n): water bear, or poppyseed 

Upcoming appointments: I don’t have an obgyn yet, I plan to find one this week. 

How are you feeling? Great. I don’t have any pregnancy symptoms yet, aside from vivid dreams and waking up super early. I didn’t really developed symptoms with my daughter. 

Raves/Rants: nothing yet other than I accidentally made a Christmas baby while we already have two five year olds with late November/December birthdays 😅 (they are step siblings, but only one day apart!) 

Questions: nope!

Baby is the size of a(n): metal earring back🤣

Upcoming appointments: 10 days til my next scan at 8 weeks!

How are you feeling? Sooo tired and nauseous but luckily getting some meds for the nausea

Raves/Rants: I hate keeping this a secret! I want to make it to my 8 week Appt before we share with more friends/family… first loss was 7w so just making it through the upcoming weekend will be a big milestone 🤞🏻

stashattack

@dogmom512 crossing milestones after loss is huge!

@ktcakes87 same  I hadn't planned on another one, but just glad to be pregnant again after a loss in Jan. LOL December is going to be an interesting month.

Baby is the size of a(n):  Blueberry 

Upcoming appointments:  We had our first prenatal appointment today! Next appointment is our five week check-in 

How are feeling? Emotional. I am healing from a subchorionic hematoma/hemorrhage that showed up at week 6. It’s been a hard week that brought up of emotions from previous pregnancy loss last year. Otherwise, I am feeling nauseous, sleepy, and just taking it easy

Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed

Upcoming appointments: First ultrasound and prenatal appointment on May 1st

How are you feeling?  The fatigue is real! I’ve been napping usually at least 2 hours a day! Lots of bloating and gas. Peeing alllll the time. Thankfully my back pain has eased and spotting only lasted a few hours. Emotionally, I have my moments. I cried the other night because I was tired but also thirsty 😆

Raves/Rants: My husband has been amazing. So helpful and deals my my mood swings well. I’m very happy with my HCG results while we await that first ultrasound.  My first 2 were 479 & 1288 last week for confirmation. Then my doc said I can have it checked once a week until the ultrasound if I want. Of course I want! My results from yesterday are 15,666! So I’m thrilled to see that number increasing appropriately! It definitely helps that first time mom anxiety stay in check. 

Questions: Is it even possible to start showing this early? I haven’t gained any weight really yet, but I noticed a definite bump starting to form. I’m guessing it is primarily bloating since it’s still so early. 

stashattack

@emmyh1218 how did your first visit go?? That's exciting glad that your SCH is healing.

@parthi_baby it's unfortunately probably just bloating. I know I didn't actually start having a real bump until maybe week 18 with my first. The exhaustion has hit me so hard this week. I feel asleep during dinner on the couch last night and then was in and out of sleep after little one's bed time until I dragged my ass to bed at 10pm LOL.
