Good morning ladies, I hope everyone's weekend was good.
Any updates? I noticed a lot of gender reveals the last few days! Congratulations. Hope shopping is a blast!
QOTW: Now that most of us are exiting our first trimester how is everyone symptoms? What do you think the worst part of 1st trimester was? What are you not looking forward to in the following trimesters. And so it's not just a negative nancy post: What are you most looking forward to in the 2nd/3rd trimesters?

Re: --.Lucky Charms Weekly Check-in.--
I'm just starting my 14th week. Not quite seeing the sickness disappear yet, but it's definitely less than it was a couple weeks ago.
The worst part of the 1st trimester for me was the extreme fatigue! I was really sick too, but I think I could have handled it better if I were able to get up and move around without feeling like I had one foot in the grave.
I'm really really looking forward to feeling this baby move!
Braydon 1.23.09
Update: I met with a new provider that is even MORE VBAC-friendly so I'll be switching after my anatomy scan.
Worst part of 1st trimester. Overall it was pretty easy again, but the spotting is never fun and I'm glad that has been gone for almost 3 weeks now.
Not looking forward to: Sleep getting more uncomfortable and it being harder to play with my crazy toddler.
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby roll around on a regular basis, I love it! Finding out if it's a boy/girl in March!

I was nauseous (no throwing up though, thank goodness!) and very tired in the first tri. My symptoms are definitely getting better, which is great!
What am I not looking forward to? My sister has 4 weeks to go in her pregnancy and says she is having a hard time sleeping at night and is uncomfortable, so that is probably what I am not looking forward to.
What am I looking forward to? Finding out the baby's gender (so I can go shop and register) and feeling the baby kick/hiccup.
Hello ladies!
My weekend went well, did some fall/winter shopping for the boy which is always fun.
I didn't have a lot of symptoms this go around, I think the worst one was my complete change in diet. It's always hard to completely rearrange your diet especially when you don't have a huge food budget and I was liking something different every day.
I think the 3 things I am least looking forward to is heartburn, feeling like I can't breath because I have such a short torso and the baby takes up all lung space, and not being able to wipe myself easily.
The thing I am looking forward to most is being able to feel kicks from the outside! I am already feeling a little bit of movement every few days but constant movement where my husband can feel it is so wonderful.
weekend wasn't too bad at all. saturday i didn't do anything then i decided to drive 20+ miles round trip for a burger and slush. it was worth it and i'm sure i'll be doing it again regularly.
ill be 16 weeks tomorrow. the ms still comes and goes but its not constant. i've learned to eat when i'm not hungry to control it. the worst part of the 1st tri was all the worrying and reading things that constantly freaked me out. im still generally worried but its not as bad.
i'm looking forward to the full on kicks that can't be confused with gas. i'm not looking forward to not being able to move around with ease. or strangers coming up to me and rubbing my belly. i've given up with friends and family members cause they do it now even when i tell them they are just rubbing whatever i ate for lunch.
We found out we were having a lil' boy this past weekend
We are so thrilled.
I had a pretty easy 1st trimester. I never got morning sickness, never threw up, I can count on 1 hand how many times I've felt nauseous. Now in the 2nd trimester, I'm getting a lot of headaches. I also woke up with the worst back pain on Friday, which is luckily better.
I'm most looking forward to feeling some kicks! I keep anticipating, but nothing yet...
Me: 31, DH: 34, Married 5/29/05
BFP #1: 6/22/10, EDD 3/6/11, DS born 2/25/11 @ 38w5d
BFP #2: 7/27/13, EDD 4/9/14, CP 8/3/13
BFP #3: 8/31/13, EDD 5/10/13, DD born med-free 5/9/14 @ 39w6d
My only update is that I'm sick! I just got over a cold two weeks ago and now I have another one. I actually called in sick today for work so I could get some rest after being up coughing all night.
QOTW: I am glad to have some energy back. I am not looking forward to the heartburn getting worse. But I am definitely looking forward to feeling the baby move and getting a baby bump!
Good morning everyone! I had a really nice weekend, hope everyone else did too!
Friday we found out we're having a little girl and we couldn't be more excited! I also found out that even though they are still considering me high risk because of my cervix, everything looks great and the risk of preterm delivery is minimal. Yay!
The worst part of 1st tri was the constant fatigue. I felt like the walking dead all the time. I was lucky and didn't really have m/s or any other terrible symptoms. Now the worst part is not sleeping at night. I'm just miserable all the time and my back, hips and legs ache all night. The two things I was most looking forward to about the 2nd tri were finding out the sex and also feeling movement. I've been feeling pretty constant movement lately. She's an active little baby, so much so that DH has felt her twice already! I'm least looking forward to the discomfort and lack of sleep, but I most look forward to meeting my sweet baby girl!
Favorite part of moving on is def. the headaches fading. I had horrible headaches all day everyday and the past week or so... They're gone! YAY!
I'm not looking forward to shopping for maternity clothes. I'm a cheapo, so seeing the price tag of some of these things! YIKES!
I'm really looking forward to everything! Baby moving, DH feeling the baby move (BIG ONE FOR ME!) Finding out the gender. Baby shopping. Registering. Ahh... I could go on for days!
so glad that the morning (all day) sickness is gone and slowly getting better at not having to take a nap in the evenings. That is probably my 2 biggest complaints about 1st Tri. Almost no symptoms now other than being hungry all the time.
2nd/3rd tri- looking forward to getting a bump, feeling the baby move, finding out the gender, work on nursery.
Update: My OB/GYN "discharged" me from the practice due to my decision to see a midwife and have a home birth. So now I have 30 days to find a new OB that I don't need to see until February-ish. Ugh. I have a Dancing for Birth class and prenatal appointment with my midwife next week, though, which I'm really looking forward to.
QOTW: The week I hit 2nd trimester, morning sickness hit hard, which was weird because I made it through 1st trimester rather "easily". I'm feeling much better in general now, just extremely tired.
I'm not looking forward to visiting all my relatives over the holidays and having to defend my "crunchy granola" decisions.
I'm looking forward to having a real bump instead of just a food baby/bloat and reorganizing/decorating our bedroom/nursery
Morning sickness is raging ... although this morning I don't feel too bad, which is rare. The worst part of the 1st trimester was the morning sickness, by far. As for the future, I am not looking forward to the GD testing ... it sucks, and I hated the diet last time.
I am most excited about finding out if it is a boy or a girl (I think we will get our US in 5 weeks, so it is going to be a REALLY long month for me). I just hope that this baby isn't as shy, because DD didn't let us get a good look until I was 38 weeks along - at that point, it was too late to do any real shopping.
No updates for me!
QOTW: I guess I normally miss this one since I am at work, but I am home not feeling the best today. Mornings are still not great for me and usually once I get ready things calm down but not today. It was good to stay on the couch for a day:).
I am still hoping that week 14 is the cure for me. Food is still a challenge - which is my biggest bummer since I LOVE food and to cook! I am really looking forward to having a bump that others can tell is from baby not from bloat. I am also really looking forward to feeling the baby move, picking a name, getting things ready, etc.
I think the only thing that I am not looking forward to is being uncomfortable doing things I can do now. I know that it will come and in the end all of this will be sooooo worth it!
Symptoms are preety much gone! I still want to go to bed a couple hours early every night but no more naps during the day or fighting nausea! The worst part of the 1st tri for me was waking up at 2-3 am with horrible heartburn and nausea. I am so thankful that's over! I am not looking foward to sleeping sitting up at the end like I had to with DD. I am also not looking foward to cooking for 30+ people on xmas eve (even though it's something I always look foward to!) I am not looking foward to be so uncomfortable when I go to bed that I fall asleep only out of pure exhaustion. and I'm not looking foward to not being able to pick up DD at the end.
I am looking foward to all of my second tri because I feel like that's the time you get to enjoy being pregnant! Not so tired, not so big (and uncomfortable,) and looking like your a happy pregnant lady (instead of looking like Please God let me go into labor already!)

Patiently waiting for little brother!
My weekend was great. I had a burst of energy on Saturday so I took all of my summer clothes out of the closet and brought in my winter clothes and did all of the laundry. On Sundy we started our registry.
I'm starting to feel a little better, but I've thrown up a few times in the last week and I'm still very tired. I'm not looking forward to the fatigue continuing, I have so much to do.
I can't wait to feel movement!
Update: I am so excited to almost be out of first tri and I have my NT scan on Wed! Crossing my fingers that everything looks good.
My symptoms are the same as they've always been -- almost non-existent. I still have the fatigue but it's manageable but the bloat is still bad!
I'm not looking forward to being really uncomfortable, though I'm not really sure what it will feel like.
I'm looking forward to finding out the gender, feeling kicks, shopping, registering, and decorating the nursery!
Finally got to hear LO's heartbeat (155bpm) at Friday's appt.
Now that first trimester is over I don't miss the morning sickness and dryheaving every couple hours. I'm not looking forward to stretch marks (prone to them... BOO!), or my hips/feet getting bigger... I've got 46.5 inch hips as it is already!
I am looking forward to finding out if we're Team Pink or Blue, decorating the nursery, SHOPPING, baby showers, 3D/4D ultrasound, and maternity pics. DH have been TTC for 5 years, so we are doing EVERYTHING baby related!
I'm less nauseous now, and have yet to actually spew (knock on wood) but there are still a few smells that get me gagging. I'm still exhausted and I think even more moody, but I think that's a little nesting setting in to. (I keep going bonkers over the fact that we aren't totally unpacked and organized yet and we've been here since May!)
Not looking forward to: My breasts getting bigger. They're all ready popping out of DDs and I just can't afford to go get new bras! That and I guess popping tummy wise, I've always been uncomfortable as a plus size girl, not sure if I'm ready for dealing with a huge tummy! Then in part, gender reveal, there are so many people that are like, have a girl, and the same number, including my hunny that want a boy, so now I'm gunna feel like baby and I are disappointing someone.
Looking forward to: Baby movements. I felt a flutter last week, and after much debate with my mom, we decided it was baby, and I can't wait til LO really gets going. Actually having this baby, I can't wait, although I'm nervous as heck, to have the baby in my arms, that's when I'll know it's real. Then, in part, gender reveal goes here too, because I wanna know if I'm expecting Lola or Lucas, and I wanna go clothes shopping. (Secretly hoping for a girl!)
My m/s went away once I hit the second tri- thank god! I sometimes still get a little nauseous here and there, but NOTHING like the first 3 months.
I'm looking forward to finding out the LO's gender (the suspense is killing me!!) and really starting to get a belly. I'm excited to actually "look"like I'm pregnant! I also can't wait to start feeling LO move around. I'm really just not looking forward to the unexpected...
Good Monday Morning ! Yay for continuous MS!!![[not!]] Im always so exhausted i hated every moment being sick 1st tri. but at least i actually slept!
on the brighter side, I have to agree with the other ladies so excited to find out the sex and not so excited of not being able to get around as well
No updates here but congratulations to the ladies that were able to find out the gender already!!! My next Dr's appt is Monday but just the normal one no u/s or anything. We'll see when they will schedule my anatomy scan on Monday so that's exciting.
I am feeling much better but I still go to bed very early (I'm a morning person anyway). Nausea was the worst part and it really wasn't bad now that I think about it, I know some of the other ladies had it worse.
I'm not looking forward to the last few weeks of pregnancy my gf is due 10/8 and is uncomfortable all the time, I feel terrible for her. I am so excited to feel the baby move, every time I feel "something" I stop what I'm doing to analyze it. I don't think it's the baby yet so I'll just keep waiting.
Good morning! Had a pretty lazy weekend.
1st Tri was pretty good to me, so no complaints. If I had to point out a worst part, it would be the fatigue. It's a lot better already.
I'm not looking forward to being a fat, swollen waddling mess. I guess I'm just going to have to make sure I keep in shape and eat well.
I'm looking forward to having a real bump. I am just starting to show a little to ppl that know me. But it is really just a little roundness in the lower ab. There's no way I look pg yet.
bfp#4 3/19/2014 edd 12/1/2014 please let this be the one!
beta @ 5w0d = 12,026! u/s 4/22/14 @ 8w1d it's twins!
Well I'm in the 1st tri for a few more days. My M/S was better the last few weeks but it's come back the last couple days and I actually threw up for the first time yesterday...hoping that doesn't happen again. It's been hard because I wasn't sick at all with my DS.
I'm looking forward to finding out what the baby is (hoping for a girl this time!) We'll find out in about 5 weeks. Also feeling the baby move. I've felt a few movements but can't wait for it to be consistent.
Hello! Doing well mostly these days
Worst part of 1st Tri: The m/s -- terrible!!!
Not looking fwd to: The unknown (a little), being uncomfortable, L&D, and pregnancy brain
Looking fwd to: Doing the nursery, having baby in my arms
I have very few symptoms: dizziness when I stand up fast and occasionally smells will turn me off but that's about it.
The worst part of 1st tri was the constant panic worry because of my previous loss. I'm only not looking forward to a c-section or GD.
I am most looking forward to the gender scan at the moment and decorating the nursery.
Worst part of 1st Tri for me is the utter exhaustion and headaches. I am still getting headaches a lot, but my energy levels seem up a little (still not all the way though).
The only thing I am NOT looking forward to is rushing to get house baby ready. I feel like we have a lot to do, but hopefully we start soon so it doesn't seem like such a pain.
I am most looking forward to getting my big baby bump, letting DH find out gender, and actually "feeling" pregnant. I can't wait for the first jab to my rib cage because then it will feel real.
Also, the lazy side of me cannot wait for maternity leave. I am so happy I work for a kicka$$ company that is willing to work with my on what I want to do. I am taking the two weeks prior to EDD just to prepare myself (and I am sure, sleep as much as I can).
Lastly, into 3rd Tri I will be welcoming a new niece from SIL and also a new niece or nephew (gender unknown) from my brother!
So many awesome things to look forward to!!!!
Hi Ladies!
My weekend was good!
Updates: Nothing really except I feel the baby move a little more frequently all the time, so that's cool. We have our big u/s on October 15, so we're hoping to find out the gender then....fingers crossed! We can't wait!
QOTW: The worst part of 1st tri was probably the nausea and fatigue. Both really sucked....especially since we had such a hot summer here!
By the end with DD I had terrible heartburn and got quite puffy, so I am really not looking forward to that again!
I am most looking forward to feeling the real undeniable kicks and hiccups from baby. That's when it became real for me, so I imagine it will be the same again this time. I also can't wait to find out the gender to know if DD will have a baby sister or brother!
The worst part was how I made DH feel. He's so patient but I've been so lazy, demanding, cranky, tired, etc. I can't wait to be normal again so I can help around the house and let him relax more.
I'm not looking forward to the anatomy scan. Sounds silly but I'm fairly mortified that something will be wrong. I'm not looking forward to swollen feet, a bigger chest or bladder issues. I can't wait to feel the baby kick (on occation). Having the nursery finished. Getting to the point where DH is more excited and starts talking to the baby. Being obviously pregnant instead of just ultra chunky.No updates for me. Have got to hear the babies hearbeat 3 times now, so I'm feeling a little better that everything is all right.
QOTW: Most of my m/s has gone away. But I still get a little queasy around 6 every night.The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the amount of glances I'm going to get when I tell people we aren't finding out the sex. So far only two people think that's cool. I'm looking forward to getting my sex drive back. Yea!
Hiya! No real updates - I'm switching doctors cuz I hate the office staff at my current one. So, we'll see how that goes.
QOTW: The m/s has been gone since 9w4d, thank goodness - it was awful while it lasted. Now I'm really achy - back, head, RLP, breasts. I'm not looking forward to more achiness or leaky breasts - leaky breasts scare me, lol. But I can't WAIT to find out the sex and have a cute bump.
No updates here, but I'm really hoping to schedule my anatomy u/s at my appointment this afternoon.
I guess I am felling a little better than I did in the first tri. I now only get sick to my stomach when I brush my teeth too long. However, the second tri also brought headaches with it so I'm hoping those don't stick around too long. I think the only thing I'm not looking forward to is how uncomfortable you get really close to the end.
I am really looking forward to finding out the gender and feeling the baby move!
Please add me
DD: 3/28
Thanks
I am looking forward to not being as tired all of the time.
I feel pretty good. More energy. If I move too fast the pain is definitely worse than it was before, but that's my worst symptom. I seem to have developed an aversion to food in the second tri. I thought you were supposed to have a really good appetite, but mine sucks! I have to force myself to eat. My appetite was much better in the first tri. Weird, I know!
The worst part of 1st tri was exhaustion. I got nauseous every now and then, but no m/s. I also worried a lot more. I'm still worried, but not as bad.
I am not looking forward to having a huge belly and having to maneuver around in our tiny patient rooms. I am really not looking forward to working as I get bigger.
I'm looking forward to finding out the baby's gender and decorating the nursery! And I am really, really looking forward to holding this little baby in my arms for the first time!
I'm one of the later on the board so I'm just barely in my second tri. We had our first 2nd tri appt this morning and he was able to find the HB on the doppler, it took a min or so but it was nice and strong when he did find it. I finally outed myself on FB and I still have 6 weeks before I can find out the gender.
I'm looking forward to getting some of my energy back this trimester, I sleep so much. Unfortunately ms is just starting for me, so hopefully it doesn't last too long, I nearly lost it in Walmart today. I'm also really looking forward to being able to feel the baby moving around in there. I've seen a ton of ladies starting to feel them around 15 weeks so I'm hoping to feel it around then.
