Name: Laura

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: 6 weeks + 4 days

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: STM, 2 year old son

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: We plan to find out with our NIPT at 10 weeks like we did with our son!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? 🤢🤢🤢 Oof. The nausea man. It was this way when I was pregnant with my son but I forgot how tough it is to be gagging and trying to avoid throwing up all day! For me it’s the food aversions that really get to me. Chicken, pork, and every single vegetable has me 🤢 right now. Luckily I’m not living on just pasta and bread yet (been there), so fingers crossed this is the worst it will get!! I’m also sleeping 10 hours a night when I can and going to sleep at the same time as our toddler!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: We have a 9 month old nephew who our son is obsessed with! He is so gentle and good and shows so much love for his baby cousin, it warms are hearts and has us so excited because we know he’ll be an amazing big brother! 🥹

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Is anyone starting to show yet? I know it’s all bloating and that women typically show earlier in subsequent pregnancies, but already at 6 weeks??? My belly button already popped and is showing through my clothes!!! 😳 I’m actually struggling to hide my belly from friends and family and have to wear super loose shirts!! 😅

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to? My favorites are Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, and Colbie Caillat. But in this toddler mom stage of my life I have to say my go-tos right now are Disney songs and Raffi! My 2 year old and I could jam out singing and dancing to these all day long! 🥰

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: First timer



𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: We're going to find out at birth :D



𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? So, so tired. Resting a lot. Sleeping well, thank goodness. I can't believe how bloated I am. I opted to buy a couple of pairs of maternity jeans from Gap just to make me a little more comfortable and I am glad that I did.



𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My husband has been so amazing and helpful. It makes feeling crummy easier. He's reading everything he can get his hands on about being a new dad, he's cooking healthy food, and he's offering me water about 1000 times a day.



𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: I've been wondering when folks find they're showing too!! I am visibly bloated, but I for sure am not showing yet. I have a climbing trip tentatively planned for around week 18 (with OB approval) and I wish I had a looking glass to know what my bump will be like by then.



𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to?
My favorite artist is Big Wild, and my favorite songs are 'No Words,' '6s to 9s' and 'Curious.'

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: pretty sure we will want to learn the gender at 20 scan, but haven’t gotten that far yet 😅



𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Overall good, but got a big wave of fatigue today. Otherwise mild symptoms



𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I kept hearing amazing things about Needed’s powder prenatal, but the smell is absolutely nauseating. And not just because of pregnancy symptoms bc I was taking it while TTC. The smell/taste is just so overpowering and stong🤢



𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: anyone else experiencing a bloody nose every time you blow your nose?



𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to? 90s/early 2000’s throwbacks. Lately I’m on a Justin Timberlake kick

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: Oct 3, so 6+5 today

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: third pregnancy, but we’re a blended family, so this makes number 6 😅

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: finding out, I think. Although, debating team green. My SO wants a girl sooo bad.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Feeling terrible 😂 I spoke too soon last week and said “you know I’m not feeling any morning sickness” and then all of a sudden, I spent the last several days fully laid out and miserably sick.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I’m a little annoyed that my OB isn’t doing an appointment until ten weeks… and it’s a virtual appointment. 😫

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: none.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to? I listen to a lot of music, but my personal favorite is what I like to call “sad cowboy music” 😂

@littlebird515_

First appointment - RIGHT!!! I am dying waiting for mine too 😭

Sad Cowboy Music - my favorite song that I'd call sad cowboy music is 'Waiting Around to Die' by Townes Van Zandt

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: FTM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: We’re definitely team finding out

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I’m tired, can’t concentrate at work, a little grumpy, boobs are sore, been gassy and crampy and bloated. 

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: glad I decided to call around last Friday to find a new OB that will see me at 9 weeks instead of waiting for the office that wouldn’t talk to me until 12 and see me until 13

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: idk

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to? - 2000s-2010s alternative (like Fall Out Boy), rap, and hip hop

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: 17th of October 5+0

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: FTM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: I don't really care at the moment. If we find out anyway, we won't tell anyone the gender until after the birth. 

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I feel good. Atm, my breasts are hurting, and I am constipated, although I generally eat a lot of fibre, wholegrain products and vegetables.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I found a midwife!! Yay! It was so discouraging, that the day after I found out I was pregnant, I wrote to midwives and received no positive feedback, only cancellations. It almost makes me wonder if many women contact midwives before they even get a positive result.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Have you all already a midwife?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite music to listen to? : 70s all the way. But I also like the 40s/50s/60s

knottie21d2a8f947a0480d

I got in contact with a midwife a few months ago just for a free consultation. She told me she could only officially book me once I became pregnant and had a due date so I reached out the day after I found out (at 3w4d). I’m glad I did it right away bc she told me her schedule was already filling up. 

Also my due date is only one day after yours ❤️

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: I would have loved for it to be a surprise but husband wants to know! Team pink for me then!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Dude. So nauseous. Plus I got hit with a cold this week so I am on the struggle bus. Low energy. Just getting through the days! 

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: We head to France next week for our belated honeymoon. So excited but nervous about the plane and how I’ll feel during the trip! Trying out Unisom after so many people raved about it. Fingers crossed! 

mollornothing

Katie, I just went to France last week! I hope you have an amazing trip. My morning sickness set in the day we arrived and plain croissants were my best friend.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: will find out the moment we’re able to

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? so tired, nauseous, heartburn, some headaches, bloated, had my first food aversion this week when hubs made fish for dinner 🤢 and I nearly lost it 

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: seeing everyone say they’ve started showing, super anxious for this because I already hate how my clothes fit. Also haven’t told some family members yet, the whole being secretive thing is such a challenge even though I totally want to be out of the woods on possibility of a loss. 

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: lack of sleep despite being so tired. I am also not able to nap which sucks. Any suggestions welcome!!!

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: fav music - T Swift now & forever 🙌🏻

ooo girl I’m with you, we leave for Italy next week for belated honrymoon! Just glad pasta will be easy on the stomach if anything beyond the current nausea kicks in. Enjoy your trip!

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: I will find out as soon as a I can but want to surprise my hubby shortly after:)

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Terrible. Morning sickness hits around 2-3am and I toss and turn all night. Today has been worst. I have restless leg syndrome and pain in my hip joints. Feels like I’m having an asthma attack. Cramping and headache as well. I’m really hoping this is the peak of morning sickness and it will get better.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: very excited for our first ultrasound in two weeks. We will be 7 weeks, 3 days but hoping to see baby and heartbeat.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: anybody have any advice for first time momma? How do I deal with morning sickness and restless leg syndrome? What about nausea?

alisonmarie_1

@mollornothing how did you survive? I am becoming more & more concerned about our honeymoon to Italy coming up this week. Between the fatigue and morning sickness I can hardly get up during the day 😣

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: we waited until birth with our first, but are undecided this time.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Super nauseous all day, there is no real respite. All I want to do is lay down or nap. I forgot what a grind this first trimester is 😭 just heading into the statistical worst weeks too. Taking it a day at a time.
