Horrible MS and constipation is a thing of the past (crosses fingers). Now I'm just starving all the time. I'm looking forward to feeling movement... My pgal brain creeps back in from time to time

14 weeks, a lemon!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Unisom keeps my symptoms at bay mostly, which is good, but sometimes I don't 'feel' pregnant.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I thought I would have relief last week when we heard the heartbeat, but now that we've announced, I'm panicking thinking something is going to happen now. I just want an ultrasound, and I have to wait weeks for that to come. I'm going to ask for it to be done at 18 weeks though, which is the earliest they'll do I think?
Plus I keep trying to feel for my uterus and I can't tell if I can feel it or not and that flares my PGAL brain. I want my belly to pop, I'm still bloat and flab mostly!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Just a regular one in a few weeks!
Favorite moment of the week?
Last week when we heard the heartbeat was the best moment in the last week!
"Your truth is different from my truth, and we're both right."

Continued nose bleeds. I'm starting to feel less tired.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Pgal is pretty good this week. I've noticed that now that I'm showing a little, I feel much more calm.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I go for my 3rd appt on the 5th. I'm hoping for another sneak peek of the little, and maybe a guess at the sex before the anatomy scan. Fingers crossed by anterior placenta will help me out here.
Favorite moment of the week?
Dh talked to my belly and kissed it for the first time. He rubs it almost daily, but he actually talked to the baby.
15w3d I think.baby is a navel orange

the gas is bananas! also I seem to be the weirdo who gets morning sickness inher second trimester instead of the first.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
pgal brain is creeping up on me. some T&P that I can feel better would be greatly appreciated.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Still tired all the time! And very gassy! I've been tossing and turning a lot lately, too. It is far too early for that!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Eh, some days are better than others. Trying really hard to stay positive and not worry (too much!)
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have an early glucose test on Wednesday. My doctor will also review my 2 week BP log at that time. Hopefully it will be to his liking!
Favorite moment of the week?
Wednesday's snow day!

after getting 1:18 chance of Down's syndrome, PGAL brain was kicking my butt kind of hard. Had a great ultrasound today with no indications of Down's, so I am feeling much better now.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Had an ultrasound today, and going back in 4 weeks to have a growth check u/s.

No symptoms here
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
It's been worse lately. I know everything is good and the baby is healthy but because I don't feel the baby move yet my mind is thinking of the worst case possible
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Just valentines day that's when I have my anatomy scan.
Favorite moment of the week?
Because my husband and I live in a different state from the family my sister and my sister in law are starting to plan my baby shower for April. I want it later but that's the time my husband and I can go over there...military can give you a big surprise when it comes to changing plans lol. So this is something pretty exciting for me. Makes me take thing off of my mind.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
14w1d, two lemons!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
For some reason my appetite has been going down a bit and my nausea has come back here and there. I'm also battling a cold which may be affecting that. Otherwise, still tired after doing everything. Went into Carter's and walked to Hallmark, got back to car and was wiped. Annoying!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Been better I think. I still get the occasional thought that they won't come home with us in July, but there's no logical reason to think that, I guess.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Seeing my OB Monday. Yay, finally! Excited and anxious to see her, but I'll be happy to get a few answers from her, like where I'll probably deliver.
Favourite moment of the week?
Dunno, if it's a "favourite," but I wanted to share it. Had an ECG yesterday to check if I have a heart murmur. It looks like I don't, according to the tech, but my freaking HR was around 113! Umm, scary! That was resting, btw. Totally explains my constant exhaustion. Things looked well otherwise, I think. I say it was a favourite b/c it was nice to get some answers and I'll speak with my OB about it Monday if she has the results.
Oh and I guess yay I got my new minivan last night!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
13.5 weeks...I'm officially a peach, and now 1/3 of the way done!
woohoo!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Zofran has been my savior so the symptoms are manageable...and constipation, of course. Fun, fun!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Waiting on my Harmony blood test so many T&Ps would be greatly appreciated!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Same as above...waiting on my results, and hoping all is good news!

Nausea is pretty much gone, and fatigue is getting better. My feet swelled a bit the other night working late, and the light headaches are fairly consistent, but I really do feel goodHow is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Feeling better every day. We had the NT scan two weeks ago and everything came back fine, and I have an ultrasound next week. I always feel better when I see the baby
Next week ultrasound, and then finding out the sex in a few more weeks!Favorite moment of the week?
When my husband and I were both flying home from business trips and texted me as he was taking off, saying "Love you, can't wait to see you both!"
@slensic - Thanks for keeping up this weekly thread. I always look forward to it and don't mind if it's a day late. Hugs!

16 weeks - Avocado!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Nothing notable, really.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm doing well because I have been feeling faint sporadic movement -- but there are still those irrational thoughts that creep in that I will still get bad news. I've been pushing around on my belly too looking for bumpiness -- some days I feel pregnant, and some days I don't, and that's so confusing. I have lost two pounds, but I think my belly looks about right. I have mixed feelings about showing.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Monday will be our 16-week checkup -- so I'm nervous and excited to hear the HB again. This is where thoughts mentioned above come into play. Please let it be there!
Favorite moment of the week?
Today I got to meet my SO's adorable aunt, and get to know his other sweet aunt better. He also took me to a nice, romantic dinner for my birthday. I have never been this happy in a relationship, and it feels amazing. We still haven't told anybody we're expecting... holding out for some things to get squared away first.
I'm sorry you lost your grandpa. I bet he is so happy for you and will be giving his extra protection. Hugs.

Feeling pretty good.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Better now that I got a home doppler. When it starts getting bad I can check the baby's heartbeat and make sure he/she is still ok. I did have an awful day last week where I woke up crying and was just sure that the baby has a defect that will make it incompatible with life, but I have no reason to really believe that, so I just keep trucking on.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
20 week A/S, but that is still pretty far away
