~*~ 2nd Tri Check-In ~*~
Good afternoon, ladies! Since I am officially in the second trimester as of this Thursday, I offered to take over the 2nd Tri Check-In for Robeano, who is moving over to the 3rd Tri.
Here is some background info on me:
I was a long-time poster on the IF and IFVets boards and I am now almost 13w along with a singleton. This pregnancy is the result of FET #1 after IVF #1. Before IVF, I had nine IUIs. Our official diagnosis is unexplained, but they have recently found low levels of progesterone (I am still on PIO and supps) and a thyroid issue. Of course, all that aside, I am absolutely elated to be here!! 
QOTW:
1. Please update us with any upcoming appointments and news and, of course, keep those Team Pink/Team Blue/Team Green announcements coming in!
2. What is your favorite maternity must-have? Is it a certain clothing item? A food item? What can you just not live without?
Here is the information I have from Robeano. Please let me know as you move on to the 3rd Tri, or if new 2nd Tri ladies would like to join! Thanks!

Re: ~*~ 2nd Tri Check-In ~*~
I have an appointment tomorrow and will be able to schedule me a/s!
I wouldn't really say I have a maternity must have. I guess the doppler. It eases my mind. I have been able to distinctly hear each heartbeat since around 12 1/2 weeks. I also can't live with out COLD water and lots of food.
MBfromBMC thank you for taking over the check-in!
QOTW:
1) I am currently 24.5 weeks pg and approaching my 7th week of bed rest
My CL had shortened to 1cm and I was placed on progesterone. My last appointment my cervix measured in at 2cm so that kept me out of the hospital. The boys look healthy but I just need to keep them in there for a couple more months. It looks like at least 10 more weeks of bed rest for me. HELP!
2) Only maternity must-haves for me is my laptop. I am living in t-shirts and stretchy pants

***SAIFW & PAIFW***
I am 16 weeks today. I don't have much to report right at this time. I am having a very hard time right now with our possible down syndrome diagnosis. I go from being optimistic to downright dread over this pregnancy. Which I feel horrible about but when I think about this time I feel no joy anymore. I hope soon that either way I will be able to reclaim that joy.
All T&P would be appreciated for our upcoming amnio on Mon. I know that the result will more than likely be positive for downs considering our materniti21 reslults.....but I can't stop hoping for a miracle!
I don't have much going on now that i am a normal prego lady. It seems like forever since my last appointment, I just wanna see my LO again
QOTW:
1. Please update us with any upcoming appointments and news and, of course, keep those Team Pink/Team Blue/Team Green announcements coming in! Nov 20th we will find out the sex of the baby. I am so excited. We will do a reveal the weekend after Thanks giving I believe
2. What is your favorite maternity must-have? Is it a certain clothing item? A food item? What can you just not live without? I can not find nice maternity clothes anywhere. It is very depressing, Food Item is sugar which I am trying to avoid.
T&Ps lalee for a good amnio
1. I am 21.5 weeks with twin boys. I am very anxious for Vday to get here. No updates here. Next appt is the 21st.
2. My must have items have been my doppler, mama bee oil, heat pad for back and rib pain, popsicles, skinny jeans, and leggings. Oh yeah, and extra pillows to support my growing bump in bed.
Please add me! I'm due on 4/11 with twins. They are the result of FET1 after IVF1.2 resulted in a c/p.
1. We will have our a/s on 11/19. I'm just dying to know whether I'm blue, pink or purple!
2. Honeycrisp apples have been a staple for me. When nothing else tastes good, I have an apple.
Thanks for taking over! Welcome to 2nd Tri!
I'm just about 16W now and I feel AWESOME! My 2nd Tri energy has kicked in and I can say I actually like bring KU now! Haven't had any bleeding in a week! I've been using my doppler and it is a life saver. It will give me peace of mind until baby starts kicking! 2 weeks until my a/s and I cannot WAIT!!
QOTW: I have a few maternity must haves!
Clothing: My Old Navy skinny maternity jeans. LOVE!
Food: Any fruit (grapes, raspberries, apples...) and decaf peppermint mochas. Yum!
Misc: Tums! Oy vey- this heartburn is constant.
I'm officially in 2nd Tri! yay!! I'll be 14 wks tomorrow. Next OB appt isn't until the end of the month. My EDD is 5/8/13 and we are team green with one on board.
QOTW: Fruit and cheese!!! seem to be the only things that I can always eat.
ETA: and of course my doppler!

Can you add me please? My EDD is 5/10/13 and we will find out what we are having sometime in December.
Update: I will be 14 weeks on Friday. I had the last of my weekly OB appointments this morning and all looks well with the little bean. Saw the h/b and LO moving around. I was finally able to pick up the h/b with my Doppler at home over the weekend so that has become a daily activity. I go back to the OB in 4 weeks. Really looking forward to the supposed second trimester energy burst.
QOTW: I have a few. I live in yoga pants and leggings at this point. Also loving the Doppler and can't live without my Nalgene bottle to get all my water in.
IVF #1 in August 2012: BFP!
L was born on May 5, 2013, 8lb. 6oz.

1. We are officially team pink! We had our 15 week u/s on Friday and the tech could clearly see it's a girl! She has super long legs and had them crossed at the ankles. It was so neat to get to see everything. I'm feeling pretty good, just not sleeping very well, which I'm afraid won't get better.
2. I don't think I could live without my stretchy sweatpants at home every night. I haven't had anything else yet that's really stood out except of course this board and all the amazing ideas I've found on Pinterest!
Can you please add me?

Hi all! I'm new to the 2nd tri check-in, so for starters, my EDDis 5/2/2013 and we are expecting twins!!
1. I had an appt last Friday and everything is looking great. We'll find out what we're having in about 3 weeks and we are so so excited!
2. I don't really have a favorite yet to be honest... I mean, it still hasn't completely hit me yet that we're expecting. I think once I start showing more and can feel the babies move, it'll seem much more real though!
1. I had my a/s last Friday and we're TEAM BLUE! So excited to finally know what we're having. Everything looked great on the a/s. Baby boy is weighing 14 oz and was measuring 2 days ahead. We're naming him Andrew John.
2. I can't live without my Oh Baby maternity jeans from Kohls. I love those things.
I am officially half baked woot woot and found out we are team Pink! As soon as we found out the gender, I started feeling her movement and it's so amazing!!! I am traveling this week for a conference and she kicks when I dose off in a boring session :. Love it!!!
As for, musthave, I love my snoogle and prenatal yoga!!!

Late to the party as I finally got power and am back to work today with internet access!
Had an OB appointment yesterday and baby girl had a nice strong hb and was moving around. Though I still feel nothing so that sucks
Hoping to feel her soon. OB said by 24w. I got hopeful at 22. I *think* i am feeling things here and there but I have no idea what it feels like sooooo IDK if its her or what lol. Next appointment is in 4w and i repeat the 1h and then we have a growth scan in 6w.
I cant live without sweats at home and mat pants for work. I also live in my motherhood jeans and shirts. I constantly need to have water or seltzer and now sleeping with a pillow between the legs and under the bump is a must!
Nothing really new here. Kicks are getting stronger. Hemorrhoids are getting worse...haha. My in-laws arrive today for a week to help get the house ready, which is good because I still have nothing baby-related.
Must have item right now - maternity pants and coat...because otherwise I'd be going to work naked and cold.
1. Please update us with any upcoming appointments and news and, of course, keep those Team Pink/Team Blue/Team Green announcements coming in!
Still trucking along! DH felt the baby move this week, he couldn't believe how strong the kicks were. We have our follow up ultrasound next weds at 24w to look at the heart again. I'm getting nervous!
2. What is your favorite maternity must-have? Is it a certain clothing item? A food item? What can you just not live without?
I'm loving my maternity jeans! So comfy
I had my midwife appointment this morning and she went over the results from my anatomy scan last week. We found out that our complete placenta previa has moved a bit and is now a marginal previa. We are so excited that it is moving!!
I don't really have a pregnancy must-have. I have a snoogle that is comfy for naps, and I'm planning on getting a wedge pillow today. Maybe pajama pants. That's what I'm wearing whenever I'm home.
