Grad check in 6/17

tlc35 · June 2014

Good morning!
How are you feeling?

How far along are you?

Any upcoming or recent appointments?

Hi ladies! First off @BeckyP005‌ congrats so excited for you! I am 9 weeks, I am having terrible morning sickness, having to take zofran but isn't taking it all away. I am bloated but a lot of that is progesterone suppositories I think. I stop them soon.. My h said I was the same way with ds but his cute face must of made me forget everything! Lol I have my next appt next Monday , I can't wait to see the peanut. I am rooting for all you ladies and still lurk and comment occasionally!

I would love an update from @on42.

ProcessofBecoming · June 2014

Like @Samuelismomma said, congratulations again to @BeckyP005! What fantastic news. I can't wait to hear about your betas. So, so exciting!

How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. Was at the doctor yesterday (I'm just shy of 20 weeks now). Still weighing in at 5 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight, which the doctors were fine with (I have gained back 5 of the 10 pounds I lost, so I think that's why they were fine with me plateauing for a few weeks). Blood pressure is still great, I feel pretty good, albeit tired. Emotionally, I'm a mess, but my son's behavior as of late has been challenging, and I am beginning to freak out about how I'm going to handle a toddler and a newborn at 43 years old. I think the hubs and I have a handle on one son now, even with all of his therapies. Still trying to envision life with two wee ones without hyperventilating. I miss Xanax.

How far along are you? I will be 20 weeks on Thursday. The time is flying and we have craptons of stuff to do before this kid gets here.

Any upcoming or recent appointments? I had my 2-week appt with my oby yesterday. All my tests thus far have been great, but I've been kicking around the idea of having an amnio. Part of me is scared of the risks and of the discomfort and the other part of me is scared about what they'd find if I did it. I have my anatomy scan on Monday with the high-risk MFM. I think I'm going to see how the A/S goes, and then go from there. If any other grads have had an amnio, I'm all ears!

Hoping everyone is doing well!!!

@hooligans4‌ not to speak on behalf on @on42 she is 20 weeks and doing good....she posted on fb today!:p ....

on42 · June 2014

w00t! Yep, 20 weeks tomorrow. We had our anatomy scan yesterday. Maxine did move around a lot, but she did not want us to see her profile or heart (!!!), so we have to go back in for another scan to make sure there is a nose bridge and chin (which we saw clearly at the 12 week appt, so I'm not even worried about it) and that her heart is normal. She's a very willful little creature.

I'm really struggling with not feeling supported by my husband, and I'm having a really hard time with sleep at night, which drives me UP A WALL. I feel like I am barely keeping it together right now. Really struggling with what I think might be depression and more anxiety. Like Process, I am really missing my klonopin right now.

Trying to stay positive and hope that I start enjoying the pregnancy more. I have felt her move a lot, and even got a poke up near my belly button, which felt like an arm or foot or something.

hooligans4 · June 2014

Thanks for the update @on42. Why isn't your husband being supportive?
You only have 20 weeks to go, you can do it. If your depression doesn't get better please talk with your OB about medication. I know it's better not to take but you can take it if needed. You need to be good mentally so you can be the best mom ever!!!!!!

As for the sleep, I got nothing! I swear it's your body's way of preparing you for sleepless nights with a newborn.

You better post updates on Tuesdays because you know my ass isn't on FB, and I want to be your cheerleader.

Mrs.McIrish · June 2014

Hi all- Yay to Becky!!! You've been here with me forever so I'm so happy you got a terrific beta :-)
Samuelsmom- I'm still vomiting with you-- at 16 weeks tomorrow!! I'm over it.. I feel your pain.
On42- hugs for DH not being supportive. I hate to say it but being pg is hard! Harder than I thought...
Process- I'm debating an amnio bc we didn't get a reading on the NT scan and I'm just a worry wart. I will PM you if we decide to do it
AFM : I'm 16 weeks tomorrow. Still sick but I'll live. We saw the MFM yesterday and had a quick u/s but he wouldn't even try to look at what sex the babies are. This MFM is no nonsense... I was bummed we couldn't find out.....I should get so,e b/w calculations tomorrow and then we'll decide on the amnio....
Love to all:-)

BeckyP005 · June 2014

@on42‌ is he scared? Maybe stress with new house? I agree with hooligans. Talk to your OB about medication. Hugs.

CaraH · June 2014

Oh, hey - this is me now! 3w5d pregnant (deep breath) with #2 and praying for a good second Beta today. Feeling equal parts nervous and positive. My most common pregnancy symptoms kicked in yesterday with serious food aversions and some heartburn/nausea. As far as I'm concerned, they can hang around until I hear that all important heartbeat. I like the reassurance.

gabbagal · June 2014

@ksgsmu did you have your u/s today?

ksgsmu · June 2014

gabbagal I did

I love hearing everyone's updates!!

Hey ladies! We had our sono today that confirmed twins! I shouldn't be in shock as we transferred 2 embryos but I am still in shock by the fact I am pregnant so wrapping my head around twins is crazy right now! We did pgd testing so I know we are having two boys

Baby A- 149 bpm
Baby B- 135 bpm

Both measuring right on track! I am nervous but so very grateful! I have all day morning sickness, zofran doesn't help too much. I see my OB for the first time next week but will still be with my RE till 10 weeks!

BeckyP005 · June 2014

@ksgsmu‌ oh my goodness!! That's awesome!! Congrats

Lady2010 · June 2014

Hi Ladies -

It is great to see all these updates!

AFM - I am 8weeks, 4 days and unfortunately I have a flu/bug. Started coughing a little Mon night but just thought it was allergies. Yesterday evening I started getting achy, chills and fever. This morning it was worse so I called my RE - they said tylenol only if needed and call my Primary. Called Primary - the nurse there said a lot of my symptoms (other than fever) are similar to pregnancy (geez, thanks!) and to call back if my fever hits 101.

Been watching it like a hawk today. Highest was 100.4. Have started taking Tylenol just to help bring it down. Definitely very worried about our little bean - we have our next u/s on Tuesday. Going to try to eat some soup (other than scrambled eggs this morning - which didn't stay down I haven't had anything other than water).

It is definitely very scary being sick this early on - am hoping this breaks tonight and I am starting to feel better tomorrow.

In terms of pregnancy symptoms - fatigue and nausea have been the big ones. Not sure if my throwing up this morning is next phase of m/s or just this bug!

Hoping the next update will be a better one!

I love all these updates!

I'm 12w1d today. Got the Panorama results....low risk and it's a BOY!!! Feeling great other than tired and a sore lower back but this is night and day from my last pregnancy with DD. I can almost understand why some say they enjoy being pregnant!

lcwed · June 2014

As promised 5 weeks 5 days with my post BFP haircut. I got it this afternoon. Didn't phase DD at all. Symptoms have been pretty mild, just minor bloat. I still don't feel pregnant, but I am feeling a little bit more at ease about everything being okay. I think once I pass week 6 my mind will be more at ease. First u/s is July 7, two and a half weeks and counting.

BeckyP005 · June 2014

@Icwed I love it!! You look great with short hair!

latershrader · June 2014

@BeckyP005 - You get an update too!

So excited for you @ksgsmu! Two boys is such a blessing (and a handful!)...This made my day!

lcwed · June 2014

@BeckyP005 Thanks. It is so much cooler in the summer. Congrats again. So excited for you.

Lol @lcwed I thought the before picture was short. But that's just because my hair is almost down to my waist. But I really do like the after.
