Re: ~Second Tri Check-in~ 11/26/2013
I am in my 18th week and feeling pretty crappy, to be honest! It started Sunday- I was grocery shipping and felt dizzy and faint. I started to panic and broke out in a sweat. I am assuming I was overheated? Has that happened to anyone else? I have been having bad headaches lately as well- I think it's my sinuses though. I fell bad complaining but it's been a rough week so far!
I haven't felt any flutters or movement yet. When did you feel it with your first? I worry about everything!
Qotw- I am going to my parents for Thanksgiving. My husband is a vegetarian so I make a veggie pot pie for him so that is kind of our tradition.
I hope everyone has a great holiday and weekend!
Jan-March '13 3 IUIs Clomid + Trigger = BFN
He's Here! Arrived 4/15/14!!!!
September 2015 - FET with remaining embryos
Twins! EDD: 6/14/15
PAIF/SAIF Everyone welcome!
I am 25w2d today - can't believe I'm almost to third tri! No recent appointments. But I am feeling good and excited that I am finally starting to really show. I had someone ask me when the baby was due for the first time the other day without anyone telling him I was pregnant, so clearly I'm showing :-)
My husband and I rotate whose parent's house we go to on Thanksgiving Day. This year, it's my parents and I'm looking forward to our typical menu with several of my grandmothers' recipes. I'm a vegetarian, but I love the sides!
@PhillyJ33 - I'm sorry you haven't been feeling great! I felt flutters at 17-18 weeks, but everyone is different. No need to worry yet. I bet you start feeling them soon! It's my favorite thing about pregnancy :-)
Me: 29 ovulatory disorder

EDD 3/9/14
I'm 20w4d and feeling pretty good overall. Still having a hard time eating and have lost a couple pounds since my 12wk appt, but my OB doesn't seem too worried since baby boy is growing right on track. Had our 20wk a/s last week and everything looked perfect. They couldn't see some of the smaller things so we go back at 24wks and get another u/s (which I'm not complaining about!). I haven't felt LO yet which is making me sad, but I have an anterior placenta so at least I know why!
We go to my mother's house each year for Thanksgiving. Nothing too crazy just a little get together.

@PhillyJ33 - sorry you're not feeling well. I felt baby I think on Sunday at 20w6d, but nothing else. I also have anterior placenta so that is why. Do you have an anterior placenta? I also had an over-heating episode. I was in a very posh mall, where people seriously dress up and I stripped down to an inappropriate camisole. It was either that or throw up (or maybe die, it felt like). It felt very weird to me, like I was panicking and then as soon as I started taking off clothes, I felt a million times better.
I am 21w now and feeling okay. Not great, but okay. I still have the same damn headache that I’ve had for weeks, but whatever.
My Thanksgiving is over, but we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving at my parents house and then made the three hour drive to my in-laws. Not relaxing. At all.

Congrats to all those graduation to 3rd Tri this week!! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
How far along are you this week? 24 weeks V-Day was on Sunday! J
I’m still dealing with morning sickness, but at the same time I’m finally getting some energy back so I can say that I’m enjoying this time the most so far. Baby kicks up a storm most of the evening and my husband will fall asleep with his hand on my stomach…makes me all weepy
QOTW: How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? Since we don’t live close to any family and we are already traveling home for Christmas we usually just have Thanksgiving dinner with a group of our friends. We live in Vegas so at lot of our friends are originally from here either.

Hi, I am new to this board (didn't realize it was here til today...I was looking in the "Success after IF" board for a while and realized I was in the wrong place...The Bump is vast and a little disorienting).
I am expecting a girl after going through IVF this summer. Due date is 4/6/13.
How far along are you this week? Any appointments or other updates?
I'm 21w6d today. No appointments next week. Feeling pretty dang good (no back pain...yay). Made it to aqua-robics class this morning, even!
QOTW: How do you celebrate Thanksgiving?
Just the two of us (or three of us, I guess). It was great!
Thanksgiving went well. I'm on call all week so the family came to me. The food was amazing!
See you all at the third trimester check-in!
