Weeks/EDD? 17w5d - 12/9

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Ugh - emotionally a wreck. We had to put our cat down this morning, so my husband and I have both been crying on and off all day. It has been an emotional roller coaster with her for the past couple of weeks and we're relieved to know she's not in pain anymore, but selfishly wish she was still here. Physically I have a lovely rash...what I thought was razor burn, but keeps spreading, so I'm getting that checked out today.  Not sure if it's pregnancy related or just fun timing. 

Any appointment updates? Next appointment is on 7/17 for the anatomy scan! I am anxiously excited for this one.

Any big milestones? I felt movement this week! Being able to feel the movement finally makes me feel a bit less anxious because if I can feel her moving, she must really be in there and doing okay.  Even this far along, the anxiety that something will happen again has been lingering and this has finally provided some relief.

Rants/Raves/Questions? None at the moment...I think I covered enough in how I'm feeling, haha.

Glad you are back, @stashattack - we’ve missed you!! 🩷

Weeks/EDD? 18w1d 

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Physically feeling great other than heartburn and being so tired by 4pm! Emotionally, I’m incredibly stressed from work and having intrusive thoughts about my 20 week appt. But, I think that lack of sleep is feeding into those.

Any appointment updates? 20 week anatomy scan is on 7/19… looking forward to seeing our babe!

Any big milestones? Spina bifida tests came back as low risk! Dr isn’t worried about the babe or I at all! 🙌🏻

Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone have suggestions on getting negative/intrusive thoughts to go away? Although baby is healthy, I keep guarding myself from being too excited
