Congrats to cerad5 on your recent BFP, and welcome to the 2IF Grad Check-In! I saw there were a couple of other recent BFPs on 2IF, and I hope they will also join us here. And congrats gmc222 on finding out you are team blue!

tryingyetagain · February 2014

I'm 30 weeks. Whoa. Crazy. D-day is only 8 weeks from Saturday, at the latest! I'm feeling pretty good, but still having a ton of BH contractions. I timed them Friday night and had 10 in one hour. I had a lot with DS too, and I'm keeping a close eye on them. I suspect my uterus is just irritable (which is what the nurse suggested). And I started another ocular migraine last night with flashing floaters/aura. So I have a bad headache today, but at least I know it's nothing serious and just related to the pregnancy.

QOTW: Eric Bana (mmmm), actor. Nick Stokes from CSI (actor is George Eads, I think). Chris Martin from Coldplay. Adam Levine from Maroon5. Ryan Lochte (swimmer from the Olympics). Coming up with this list was fun.

cerad5 · February 2014

1. I am 5w5d. Anxiously hoping to sail through 1st tri.

2. My first prenatal appt is Monday the 24th.

3.I am feeling normal first tri exhaustion. And normal early 1st tri worry about every little thing.

4. Justin Timberlake, Shemar Moore, Leo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp. I will now probably have a, ahem, dream tonight with one of these men. Oh hormones

gmc222 · February 2014

1. I am 22w3d.

2. I have my regular check-in with the OB next Mon the 24th.

3. I am recovering from a cold with sinus infection, but feeling pretty good overall. Have had some cramps lately that I'm hoping are not a cause for concern!

4. I really only need two: Mark Wahlburg & Charlie Hunnam.

MJC1116 · February 2014

@tryingyetagain, I'm so sorry about the migraines. They are the worst. I would REALLY encourage you to do acupuncture if you can. I had horrible migraines that went away with a few treatments.

1. I'm 29 weeks 5 days

2. My next appointment is tomorrow. Can't wait to see how much weight I've gained

:-S

3. Feeling pretty good! I have a bit more energy. DH and I had a really nice weekend and we've been working on the house a bit. The nursery is coming a long and it feels good!

4. I'm really bad at these. Celebrities kind of creep me out. I might have to think about this one a little more...

I had three separate flashing floater/"aura" episodes today and I've had a bad headache for two days. I emailed the OB to see if she thought it was another ocular migraine, and she had me come in right away this afternoon for pre-E testing. My BP wasn't bad, but they detected some protein in my urine so she had me do another urine test to see how much protein. She is very worried about pre-E. Ugh! I'm hoping it's just migraines, but not looking forward to how often they are coming! Thx for the heads up on acu!!

ETA: oh, and she measured me while I was there and I measured 33cm even though I'm only 30 weeks! Yikes!!

CheesyPeas · February 2014

I'll play. Hi everyone! I'm CheesyPeas and just got my bfp last week. I'm pumped to be joining you and hope I get to stay for a long while. My EDD is October 23rd.

1. I'm 4w4d

2. My first appointment is February 25 and will include an ultrasound. So far I've just had two rounds of betas that were on the low side but had good doubling time.

3. I feel pretty goid physically. Crampy, bloated, and a bit exhausted but otherwise feeling pretty normal still.

4. Hmm I'll go with Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Johnny Depp. There are others but my brain isn't functioning properly at the moment apparently.

Hey lady, glad to see a familiar face! Praying your appt and US go well

Do you have to do the 24 hour collection at home? I had to do that with DD and it as loads of fun!

I hope it's nothing, keep us updated

AlmostWright · February 2014

Congratulations @cerad5 and @CheesyPeas !! @tryingyetagain I hope you are feeling better soon and can find a way to get some relief from the migraines

I am 18 weeks and doing well, other than the odd urine retention issues that I posted about last week. So far no catheter again (not fun) but there are times baby must be positioned to block everything. Laying down on my side helps but that means I am up all night for the bathroom since I can't lay down at work. Oh well, I know it isn't the worst thing to happen. Good thing was I got to see him briefly when the doctor was checking for anything that could be causing the blockage and he was moving all over the place. I am still waiting impatiently to really feel him though. Next appt is Monday for the anatomy scan!

QOTW: I am really bad at celebrity names so have no idea for this one!

kndeckar · February 2014

I'm 15 weeks and feeling good. I was kinda bummed that our anatomy scan was scheduled so late (I'll be 22 weeks 3 days) but a friend of mine sent me this thing about the pregnancy care center looking for pregnant women to give free ultrasounds to for training, so I scheduled an appt and now we get to take an extra look at LO on March 10th and hopefully find out the sex!
QOTW: Justin Timberlake, Gerard Butler, and that guy that plays Jackson on Greys Anatomy!! He's dreamy....

KristyLynn26 · February 2014

I'm 17 and a half weeks and feeling good. Still doing weekly progesterone injections which are no fun. Ouch! I'd stand on my head though if they told me that's what I needed to do. Lol.

Next appointment is March 3rd at 19 weeks! It's our big anatomy scan and I can't wait to see LO again. We are still determined to be team green just like with DD but I feel like its been so long and I want to know everything is ok. It's going to be so different this time around with far less ultrasounds. I had weekly ultrasounds and so many pictures of DD because of GD. I don't really know what to expect.

@tryingyetagain - I hope you feel better soon! I've had migraines since about 4th grade and they are seriously no fun.

Hang in there and keep us posted!

QOTW: I have no idea! LOL! I don't really watch anything anymore. I feel so out of the loop on everything these past few years. I loved Brad Pitt when I was younger though.

CMDR513 · February 2014

1. How many weeks along are you? 27+

2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? App't tomorrow. Passed my 3 hr GTT.

3. How are you feeling lately? Pretty good.

4. QOTW: Remember the episode of Friends where Ross and Rachel both had their top 5 list of celebrity hotties who would be “freebies” if they were ever lucky enough to meet them in person? So who would some of your top 5 hotties be? Ben Affleck, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, James Franco, Vince Vaughn.

Thank goodness she didn't have me do that! The first test showed a trace but the quantitative test must not have shown much if anything. So the OB does think it's auras with migraines and not pre-E. I had that headache for three days... Yuck!

Thanks everyone!!
