I realize you all aren?t doctors but I want to be sure I?m not worrying too much. ?dawnies79

4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie

Re: PG & TTC Check-In 8/8/11

  • 1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?  12. No, but still barfing

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? tomorrow. NT scan & then we will 'go public'! yayyy!

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? announcing the pregnancy

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo If you run on the regular now, yes the BOB is a great jogger! If not, you might want to wait. Jogging with a stroller is somewhat difficult & if you're not a runner already you most likely won't do it after baby is born. But yes, you will probably end up with 3-4 strollers by the time your child is 1 :)

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin I don't think so. Mine's just getting worse lately. Also, I remember being sleepy all thru my 1st pregnancy. I think it's nature's way of helping you prepare for when baby comes.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax laundry. I usually do laundry daily, but it's been piling up cause I'm too freakin tired.

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516 The morning sickness being so bad (threw up a little blood last week from so much strain) I didn't throw up at all with my 1st. This one is AWFUL! Starbucks butter croissants are a gift from Heaven.

    1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? AF showed up yesterday. Sad

    2. What are you looking forward to this week? The Seahawks first preseason game is on Thursday and I'm going to another Seahawks training camp on Sunday. Hmm...see a theme here? Ha!

    3. Is it abnormal that over the last several months my period has only lasted 1-2 days? When I was on bc it usually lasted 3-5 days. Is this something I should be concerned about and maybe go see a doc? I still feel so new to this TTC stuff despite having done a lot of reading.

    4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie I'm guessing a lot of it is personal preference? I try to wait until I miss AF, but most of the time I'm too impatient. Wink

  • Pregnant Questions

    1. What week are you in?  28 (holy crap) Any new aches or pains?   Ive been having a lot of pain in my tailbone and hips, it sucks, I can barely walk sometimes and my hips will pop out of joint. =/

    2. When is your next appointment?  The 11th Will anything special happen at that appointment?  The GD test, and the usual U/s and whatnot.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week?  My baby shower!

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy. I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo  you dont *need* them, but i think 3 strollers is pretty average.   With H we had the travel system and a jogging stroller, then later we got an umbrella stroller.   Keep in mind its quite a while before you're able to actually put your baby in the jogging stroller.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin  Nope.   You're sleepy now cause you're pregnant, and you'll be sleepy later cause you're being woken up every 1-2 hours to feed the baby. 

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax  Yeah.. that never happened.

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516

  • 1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
    ~12 wks. no, but i'm getting a weird/achey/shifty/soreness in my upper abs (hah, if i *had* abs).

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
    this wednesday. i'm so excited! i'm getting an u/s, and if all goes well, then we will be work-public on friday, cousins/aunts/uncles-public on saturday, and friends/fbook public on sunday.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week?
    see above.

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo
    a friend of mine has 3 strollers, and she wishes she didn't (she warned me about falling into the 3 stroller thing). she said she doesn't use any of them, because she wears her baby anyways.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin
    my q.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax
    cleaning the house! i feel so bad. poor h has been doing it all...laundry (he's even folding my undies!), vacuuming, general organizing... he's been doing a great job, but he could really use some help, and i wish i could help him.

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516
    the farts. nobody warned me. no tip or trick, just look away and pretend it wasn't me!

    Pregnant Questions

    1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?  3w6d.  So early I feel a little ridiculous talking about it!

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Guessing we'll have our first appt. at 8 weeks

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? AF is normally due on Thursday, if that doesn't happen I'll start to let myself get excited.

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo  My recommendation is to only get the snap n go before the baby comes (there are millions on craigslist).  After the baby arrived we had a lot better understanding of what features we wanted/needed.  I made the mistake of buying a stroller too early last time and we never use it.  We only have two...wish I just had one!

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax  Potty training my son

I realize you all aren?t doctors but I want to be sure I?m not worrying too much. ?dawnies79 I've never read/heard anything about the length of your period mattering.  I think the biggest thing after coming off bc is if and when you O.  As long as you're O'ing than you can get pregnant!  Edit:  You might want to look into things you can to do thicken your uterine lining...

    4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie I think it is completely a personal preference. I wanted to wait until AF was late to avoid the disappointment of an unreliable BFN.  But ultimately I caved and tested at 11dpo and got my BFP.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • 1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?  30 (Crazy!), nope just the usually. I guess I am getting shorness of breath a little easier.

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Thursday, nope the usual.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? Work Baby Shower Friday.

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo I am getting a Bob, but H and I are serious runners. I can't wait to start running again. I plan to have two strollers. The Bob for running and using the infant attachment for daily use and another easily pack and go stroller for later when she has more neck support. I refuse to get three strollers.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin I started to have more energy into my fourth month. I felt really good during month five and six. I felt like I could do it all. Month 7 is feeling back like the first trimester. All I want to do is sleep and nap and the worst part is I can't get comfortable either, so no amount of sleep is enough.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax Nothing really. I had some massive work drama hit at month four, so I have been working 10 plus hour days every since.

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516 I had some really painful rib pain in my six month for about two weeks straight and then it magically went away.

    8. Questions for next week? How much did you guys have to buy/spend after your showers. Everyone is buying us the "cute" stuff and it is looking like we are going to have a lot of items left we need to buy that we really need.

  • 1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW?  

    Cycle 8.  Waiting to O... should be in the next few days!

     

    2. What are you looking forward to this week?  

    We're planning a weekend trip to Portland for later this month... I'm waiting to hear if my coworker can cover my shift, and then we'll make reservations! :)

     

     3. Is it abnormal that over the last several months my period has only lasted 1-2 days? When I was on bc it usually lasted 3-5 days. Is this something I should be concerned about and maybe go see a doc? I still feel so new to this TTC stuff despite having done a lot of reading. I realize you all aren?t doctors but I want to be sure I?m not worrying too much. ?dawnies79

     That does sound a little strange, but I don't know if it's necessarily a problem.  If you're concerned though, it certainly wouldn't hurt to at least mention it to your doctor. 4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie That one I think really depends on personal preference, and how well you take BFNs.  Sure, some ladies get BFPs at 9 or 10 DPO, but it's nowhere near as accurate that early on.  If you take BFNs really hard, I'd wait until at least 14DPO, or your missed period, to give it the best chance of being accurate. :)

     

    From TTGP's newbie link:

    HPT accuracy DPO 
    10 dpo : 35% 
    11 dpo : 51%

  • Pregnant Questions1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 27 weeks today! I can't believe it! New aches and pains... my lower abdomen is definitely achy if I am really active during the day. It seems to subside if I lay down and rest. I think I am going to have to start pacing myself better.   I've also had some mid-back and low-back pain. However I've been seeing a chiropractor for 1x / week and that seems to be helping.  2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?Wednesday the 17th. I'm pretty sure it's just the usual stuff. :) 3. What are you looking forward to this week?Plus, my rug, crib mattress, and sheets should arrive this week ? so I'm super excited to put something in the nursery !!  4.

What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJoWe registered for a Baby Jogger City Select. This is our first so who knows what will happen!  5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?JennlinI felt really great at about 14-25 weeks. The last week, I've been pretty tired.  6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJaxMine was working on the nursery and completing my registry. I also got back into cooking (which my generous hubby had done the WHOLE first trimester).  7. What's been your most surprising symptom?

    1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?  I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow. Some new crazy pelvis pains. I feel like I just for off of riding a horse bareback for twenty miles!

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Bradley class Wed. Midwife/Centering Preg. group with GD test on the 25th.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? FIL heading home. :)

    4.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin I wouldn't say the sleepiness ends, just lessens a bit. I'm just about 6 months and I still tire easily and go to bed a lot earlier than I did pre-pregnancy.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax We're completely redoing the baby room, construction of the walls, installing new windows, ripping out carpet and redoing the hardwood.

  • TTCing Questions1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Cycle 3, waiting to O2. What are you looking forward to this week? A friend's baby shower!!3. Is it abnormal that over the last several months my period has only lasted 1-2 days? When I was on bc it usually lasted 3-5 days. Is this something I should be concerned about and maybe go see a doc? I still feel so new to this TTC stuff despite having done a lot of reading. If it has been that way since you went off BC, I probably wouldn't really worry too much.  If the change happened long after you went off BC (meaning you'd had normal periods after BC, then it changed) then I would probably check in with your OBGYN. 4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference?  I used to be a test-aholic.  The longer we get into TTC #2 though, it is wearing on me.  I got my BFP with Lucy at 12 dpo.  This time though, I've been waiting longer. Plus, my DH will go crazy if I keep dropping money on pregnancy tests before I even really warrant them. 5. Questions for next week?   Pregnant Questions4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? We had a travel system and now we have a Chicco Liteway umbrella stroller.  Really, I wish we would have just bought a snap n go instead of the travel system.  The Liteway has been AWESOME. So easy to use, light, comfy for Lucy, easy to push, does well outside (at the zoo).5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? Unfortunately, no. There is the 1st tri exhaustion, 3rd tri exhaustion (from waking to pee, insomnia, back pain)...and then you have the kid.  And it all goes to hell.  I'm hoping in about 8 years I'll stop being tired.  :)6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? With Lucy, it was getting back to going on nightly walks with DH and the dogs. I'm guessing that won't be the same next time.7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? I was really not prepared for the horrific constipation I had throughout my entire pregnancy.  I took Metamucil every day, mixed in my coffee.

  • Pregnant Questions

    1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?   I will be 15 on Thursday. I am so over the increasing heartburn.

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Bloodwork on Thursday as the second part of the quad screening, then a regular appointment on Aug. 29.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? Co-hosting a friend's baby shower!

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo I actually do have three. We have a full-size Peg Perego umbrella stroller which we put the infant seat in; then I got a Maclaren Triumph, which I love. It's so lightweight. And then I have a Baby Trend jogging stroller. They all get/have gotten use.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin Yeah ... no. If it's not the heartburn, it's the need to pee, or the inability to stay asleep for longer than an hour at a time. Getting sleep is a huge pain and it doesn't help the situation.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax My question ... I am going to start working on Collin's big-boy room.

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516 Very noticable ligament stretching. I didn't have this last time. It's not painful, but it is uncomfortable.

I realize you all aren?t doctors but I want to be sure I?m not worrying too much. ?dawnies79 Once I got off BCP I had a few months where that happened.

    4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie I didn't wait until a day after I missed AF because I am irregular.

  • 1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 29 weeks and 5 days! Woot!

    2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Appt was today and the next is the 22nd :-) Every two weeks now! - Today we scheduled my c-section tentatively for the 13th or 14th depending on when my mom can be here to help. AND we bumped my due date up, so excited! ... I'm not telling MIL about my new c/s date so she won't show up at the hospital before I say it's ok.

    3. What are you looking forward to this week? Seeing my parents and brothers and I'm having a baby shower on Thursday! Can't wait!

    4. I'm having issues deciding on stroller/s to register or buy.  I know I want the snap and go but the BOB seems really big/bulky but I'd like to have a jogging stroller to get in shape after baby, do I really "need" 3 different strollers? What have you all done or planning to do? ?AimmeeJo I love my snap & go. I have a Jeep jogger, a Graco Travel System and an umbrella stroller. I will be getting rid of the travel system stroller. I just don't use it enough.

    5. Is the sleepiness ever going to end? (every week my pregnancy emails keep telling me "it'll be over soon", but it doesn't seem to stop.) ?Jennlin It comes and goes in waves for me. Hang in there, it at least gets a little better.

    6. What was or will be your first big task once you got some energy back in the second trimester? ?MrsEditorJax Shopping. I think I have a problem...

    7. What's been your most surprising symptom? What tip or trick has been your biggest help? ?NicoleD0516 The sciatic pain. I had some back pain with Emma, but this is a beast! It gets to the point where I can barely move. I've been stretching and trying to use heat/ice. It hasn't helped much though...

    8. Questions for next week? What are some questions regarding pregnancy that annoy you when asked (i.e. do you have a name? are you having twins? can I tell you what name I think you should use?)?

    TTCing Questions

    1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? First cycle, waiting to O.

    2. What are you looking forward to this week? Can I say lots of sex? Cause that is what I am really looking forward to. And getting ma hairs did!

    3. Is it abnormal that over the last several months my period has only lasted 1-2 days? When I was on bc it usually lasted 3-5 days. Is this something I should be concerned about and maybe go see a doc? I still feel so new to this TTC stuff despite having done a lot of reading. I realize you all aren?t doctors but I want to be sure I?m not worrying too much. ?dawnies79 I don't know what is normal and not normal. My menstrual cycle changed dramatically after having a child, I imagine that BCP would have regulated your periods so much that you may be experiencing what a "normal" period is without hormones.

    4. When to test? I?ve read a lot of women test at 10dpo, but others wait until they have missed AF. is it personal preference? -stillkelsie I waited until my missed period with my last kiddo. I am going to do the same this time around because I would get so frustrated when I would test and then get my period the next day or two after I tested.
