T&P's going out to Panacea.

How are you feeling? It depends on the day. Yesterday I had some gagging issues, but so far this morning, I'm ok. I keep feeling little twinges in my pelvic region on the baby side, but can't tell if I'm getting little movements from the baby or if it's just growing stuff. It usually happens so quickly it's done before I realize it started. Probably just wishful thinking!

Any updates? Got my doppler on Monday and we found the HB! So now I'm just trying not to be that neurotic person who pulls it out every day.

GTKY: I did go to college. I went to Florida State (Go Noles!!!) and got my degree in Social Work. I am currently licensing and managing foster homes.

Also, my OB dated my EDD at 10/17.

jaimerz1025 · March 2012

T&P's for Pancea.

How are you feeling? Not too bad...constantly hungry (but still have a lot of food aversions) which leads to being nauseous if I don't eat right away. Good news is the vomiting is down to about twice a week(ish) which is an improvement.

Any updates? No updates just waiting for the next appointments....OB appointment is 4/4 and 1st trimester screen is 4/9 (can't wait to see the little peanut...I am getting so anxious!!!)

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? I received my bachelor's and master's degrees from Misericordia University in PA. I'm a speech language pathologist.

luvinlifeMN · March 2012

How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. I, too, feel twinges at times which make me nervous but then I remember it is likely growing pains. I also have some constipation issues which often cause some pain which can be alarming. Overall, I don't feel like I can complain!

Any updates? I went for my 12 week check-up early and heard the heartbeat on the doppler! It was music to my ears since that is where things went south last time.

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? I did go and graduated with a communication degree. Now I work in finance. Go figure.

LexiSophie55 · March 2012

How are you feeling? Well - this has been my toughest week yet. Constant nausea and food aversions. Add in constipation and gas pains and I'm a mess. I think this is the peak though - so I can make it

Any updates? I went in last week for my first prenatal visit. We were able to see our little Frankenstein moving around like crazy with a strong heartbeat. She moved my EDD to 10/15. We were so excited! Next appointment needs to be scheduled - but not until 14 weeks...what am I to do in the meantime?

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? I went to a smaller UW school. I am a Food Scientist.

jantyme · March 2012

T&Ps to Panacea

How are you feeling? I think m/s is slacking some I still threw up yesterday but my stomach feels better less upset. I have a cold and am staying home resting today.

Any updates? First OB appointment friday 3/23, hope to hear the baby on doppler at the OB since I'll be 12wk tomorrow.

This is the most pg I've ever been (as of a few weeks ago actually but it's all new). Haven't told anyone other than parents and siblings keep waiting for more signs that everything is going well, maybe after the first OB appointment (might still chicken out though).

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? California State Uni Fresno for BA and MA for Speech-Language Pathology. I'm a speech-language pathologist.

T&Ps to Panacea
How are you feeling? Depends on the time of day, mornings & early afternoon I feel fine, then in evening and night I'm exhausted and nauseous. I am usually asleep by 10 (and if I wasn't busy doing stuff at night I'd be asleep by 9!)
Any updates? Second OB appt is the 26th, 3 weeks after my first. My doc was nice & mentioned I could come in early since I am so nervous. I am starting to show! Not even 10 weeks yet. My belly is definitely bulging. It's great but slightly annoying since my pants are sooooo uncomfortable. GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? Rutgers in NJ for undergrad and Univ. of Med & Dentistry of NJ for grad school. Was working in the pharma industry but stopped working last year so I could be home with my DD (she's 21 months). Best thing I ever did Will need to go back to work sometime soon though.

MissNYC1987 · March 2012

How are you feeling? I've just lost my nausea in the morning, but now it seems like it is coming more so at night...sigh Smile

Any updates? We went and heard our babies heartbeat and it was a strong 172 bpm! Our next appointment is 4-3-12, this one is just the monthly!

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? I did and I have my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice but am working towards my CDA because my dream is to be a lead teacher in a toddler room. Right now I am the afternoon teacher for my toddlers, but I would like to lead the classroom!

WearingRed · March 2012

How are you feeling? Like crap. Too little sleep and a teething tot make me want a night cap. At least if I got drunk I know why I feel like crap (i would never drink while pregnant) as it stands now I can't tell if how I feel is because of a baby or the progesteron cream I am taking twice a day. Any updates? Still freaking out and hoping for the best tomorrow. GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? Yes, I would rather not say, SAHM

Petunia844 · March 2012

How are you feeling? Roughly the same... some days it seems like the m/s might be a little better, but then it's back in full force. I don't mind it though, I still get nervous when I have a not so bad day. In addition to that, unbelievably tired.

Any updates: We saw our MFM but I won't go into that because I already did a whole post about it, but we have a plan and I'm happy with that. Today I have another appointment with the OB which is funny because I just had the MFM appointment Monday...they weren't kidding when they said they'd be watching me like a hawk. Smile I did schedule my a/s with the MFM for May, can't believe I'll get to know what Poppy is in just two months!!

GTKY: Did you go to college? If so where? What do you do for a living? Yes, I got my undergrad at UC Davis, in art. Then I went to a local school and got my credential and master's in education...turns out there weren't any teaching jobs, so now I do graphic design. Haha, go figure.

yikeslady04 · March 2012

How are you feeling? I am feeling okay. Not as tired anymore but still pretty nauseous (sp?) if I don't eat when I wake up. Also, still dealing with constipation...fun.

Any updates: I have a doctor's appointment today. I am freaking out. I didn't sleep at all last night and have been having nightmares for the past few weeks. I am going to start seeing a therapist for my anxiety or else I think I am going to drive everyone around me nuts. If you could please spare some T&Ps for my appointment today that everythign is a-okay with LO I would really appreciate it.

GTKY: Did you go to college? If so where? What do you do for a living? I did but haven't finished. One day I will go back. Anyhow, I am an Assistant Controller. Love it.

KJohnson826 · March 2012

Many T&P's for Panacea. Lots of (((HUGS)))!!!

How are you feeling? Tired and bloated!

Any updates? Nothing new, the approximate point I lost my last pregnancy is coming up next Tuesday, so any T&P's you have to spare would be appreciated. Thankfully I have an appointment the following Monday, so I will get to check on LO just a few days after.

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living?

I went to multiple actually. I went to a trade school, the International Air Academy, and that is how I got my current job at a large corporate travel agency. I've been here for six years and I started out as a travel agent, and now I do quality control. I graduated in 2010 from Warner Pacific College here in Portland with a BS in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing my MA in Management at Liberty University, and I will be done this December.

Eveanyn · March 2012

T&Ps for Pancea.

(To update the spreadsheet, I'll be Team Pink or Blue.)

How are you feeling? I feel nauseated all the time. Other than that I'm pretty good. And tired. Very tired.

Any updates? On Monday I meet with my midwife. She'd better at least give the dopplar a go, because I'm getting ancy and frustrated that I haven't seen my baby yet. They want me to go 7-10 more weeks without seeing him/her? I don't think so.

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living?

I haven't finished school yet (military keeps pulling me away) but I started at Michigan State. We live too far away to finish there, so I'm probably going to finish just an online degree since I work full time.

I work at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan.

lebongo · March 2012

T&P's and ((hugs)) to Panacea.

Also... I didn't see me on the list this week... I've been a bit MIA due to work stress and m/s. But my EDD was updated to 10/31 (team blue or pink), we heard HB at 137bpm on 3/12. Next appt is 4/2

How are you feeling? A little bit better. m/s hit at week 7 and lasted literally all day but was the worst during the 1st third and last third of the day. This past weekend was horrendous and I spent a lot of time hugging the toilet, on the couch, and crying. New discovery is that I am now car sick... in any seat in the car, even when I'm driving... lovely.

Any updates? Piggybacking on how I'm feeling - I got Zofran! Doc gave it to me Monday and I've taken it once Mon and once Tues and just popped one for today. I was also off Mon and Tues so I'm sure that helped things a bit. I also got contacts for the first time at the end of last week and let me just tell you, the occasional blurred vision as I get used to them does wonders for nausea... ugh

GTKY: I went to Virginia Tech for undergrad (which is the only college I really claim) and the neighboring smaller school Radford for grad school. I am a School Psychologist. DH also went to VT and Radford (met at Radford) and we're big Hokie fans (hence the old school Fighting Gobbler in my pic/icon thingy)

AustinBride06 · March 2012

Go ahead and add me... I guess I'm here to stay!

EDD 10/15

I have my third ultrasound/appt tomorrow afternoon (3/22). The last two were perfectly on target so I have high hopes for this one to be the same. I'll have my sequential screen (NT + 1st round of bloodwork) on 3/29 with the MFM, meeting him for the first time. I've been having weekly ultrasounds except on the weeks that I travel for work... hoping I'll feel okay about cutting back to every two weeks soon. Probably won't be able to go a month... but we'll see.

I'm mostly feeling just exhausted. Some queasiness in the mornings, usually just at the beginning of the week, but nothing too terrible. Not nearly Zofran-worthy, ginger tea and small snacks/meals usually takes care of it. Trying to start getting excited and it's just starting to feel slightly more real that this is our sticky take-home baby. Most of the time I'm half-expecting to see nothing at the almost-weekly ultrasounds though.

I'm doing acupuncture for miscarriage prevention and I look forward to that every week... so relaxing. Really helps my stress levels, plus she does points to prevent nausea, etc.

GTKY: Went to the University of Texas. Hook'em!

abilbrey21 · March 2012

I am little tired in the afternoon and extremely hungry and gassy but overall I am feeling wonderful!

I just had my 12 week appt. early and everything was on target and the lo hb was a spectacular 168 bpm!! I left the dr. feeling so happy and am hoping that with each passing appt. my fears will subside.

I went to Illinois State Univ. and also Northern Illinios Univ. (where I graduated) I have a B.S. in Physical Eduacation and am slowly working on my Masters in teaching with a health endorsement.

I currently teach at my old high school and love my job!! Almost always....

mork · March 2012

Hi ladies! I hope everyone has a good week.

drv - I think the list may have been cut off at the end, as those of us with end of the month EDDs are missing. No big deal though! Wink

I'm feeling ok, although I've been spotting for 5 days. We saw ToT on Monday though, and everything looked good.

GTKY: I've gone back to college a number of times: UNM - BS Biology, UNM - MA Bilingual Ed, PSL - JD Law, ASU - LLM Biotech and Genomics Law. You can probably tell from my degrees, but I'm a teacher turned lawyer.

race-to-be · March 2012

How are you feeling? A little bit better! The nausea is starting to let up and I feel like I have more energy during the day.

Any updates? The next week is a big one for us. My EDD is tomorrow, my 30th birthday is Saturday, and then Monday I see my high risk OB for the first time before the NT on Wednesday.

GTKY: I went to the University of Toronto for undergrad, where I met DH. I got my Master's at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. I'm now a policy officer in the international security division at the Department of National Defence. I love my job (most days)!

jenada2011 · March 2012

How are you feeling?: I'm doing alright. M/S isn't gone yet, but well, it reminds me, that baby is doing good. So I'll take it I'm still exhausted most days, but it's gotten better too.

Any Updates: I had my first appointment yesterday, everything looked good so far. I'm going in for an u/s on the 3rd of April.

GTKY: I didn't go to College yet, planning on going though after baby is here. I got exepted at Niagara College in 2010, but as "International Student" I would've had to pay 3x the fee's. I'd rather wait. Stick out tongue I plan on being a Journalist.

shanaynerz · March 2012

I'm not sure I'm on this list yet, surprisingly! Just add me when you can. I have my first U/S and MFM appt this Friday and I'm so excited! Just want to see LO and know everything's great. My EDD is Oct. 26 (for now!).

I'm feeling very pregnant, tbh, but I keep thinking the worst. It's really annoying, and probably not healthy!

GTKY: I graduated from SFU here in BC. I was an English major with an extended minor in psychology, and currently I'm just volunteering.

ETA: We are team pink or blue.

RedRose84 · March 2012

Hi everyone. I'm doing okay, hanging in there. Morning sickness has not eased up and I have just incorporated all day nausea and some puking into my life. It's definitely worth it for my take home baby. I have a big ultrasound tomorrow and I pray that everything is okay.

I started college at University of Michigan. I couldn't bear to be away from my boyfriend (DH now) and came home after a semester. I had to go to a community college to earn enough credits to transfer back to a four year. So I did that for a year and a half and then finished up college at Cal State Long Beach. I also got my teaching credential from there. I'm a teacher and currently I'm teaching fourth grade.

Big Hugs to Pancea.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week.

Mel_B09 · March 2012

How are you feeling? Tired this week though nothing else. Had spotting Thursday night to sat morning though it was off and on and it's gone now thank goodness

Any updates? No updates other then my edd changed to oct 25th

GTKY:Did you go to college? IF so where? And what do you do for a living? I went to university in Ontario for business communications an I now work in insurance

Anderson2651 · March 2012

Hi Ladies!

Huge Update: I have Twins! Had a early u/s about two weeks ago and boom two babies two heartbeats (a=129, b=136), one happy Mommy and Daddy to be!

Feeling: Really tried and can't sleep at night, so work is getting harder and harder each day. Thankfully NO morning sickness, not once so far (knock on wood). However I feel like I need to eat everything under the sun, lol.

College: I went to a small private School in lisle, IL. I now work in chicago as a Tax Analyst, yes I know I'm a geek.

Having my first O/B appointment is on 4/2, Praying I get to hear those hearts again!
