I know @princezjk is getting close to delivery and asked for someone to take over. Did anyone volunteer? Im going to go ahead and post today to get things going, but if anyone wants to run it, please do so. Its a very rewarding task.
Hello ladies,
I Hope this finds you all well and positive this week! If you have any questions you would like answered, please don't be shy! You can also ask the PAL ladies. Grow little ones, grow!
How far along are you?
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
QOTW: Do you feel like your pregnancies have been distinctly different physically? Like you can tell a difference in the babies already? **Example: My daughter's pregnancy was a breeze. Her brother brought morning sickness, discovered clotting disorder, etc. She was quietly active, he was a soccer player from 16w.**
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Today we have our last ultrasound with our RE. We are choosing to transfer to our OB early due to numerous issues with the RE and the fact that we've already had a pregnancy complication.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
Aversion to dairy

I can already tell these babies are so different! With Conner and Ben, I was sick at around 5 weeks with nausea and headaches. It continued until about 16 or 17 weeks, and around that time I started getting exhausted since my body felt like I was in the third trimester. With this baby, I have little nausea but I am tired already. No headaches yet!

@ikrystal - that is a tough decision. I agree with noethola, whether you tell or not, or when you do tell, won't change anything with your pregnancy. ((Hugs))
My quick update: I'm being induced Sat, Aug 2 IF this baby decides to flip head down. (Please flip baby!) Otherwise, I'll have a c-section Aug 4.
One year ago today we found out our little guy had no heartbeat. It's hard remembering this at the same time we're waiting on a new baby. We're so close to a rainbow, but I still wake up every morning expecting her to have died during the night. Those first few minutes waiting for her to move are so hard!

@ikrystal - I know you mentioned you might be able to take over the checkin if no one else volunteered and as of right now no one has.
Struggling with when to announce can be really difficult. I felt like I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and so kept putting it off for one more week or one more appt. In the end, don't worry about being fair to others. Do what feels right for your heart.
@aragosta - please don't ever feel like you are complaining. You have so much on your plate and You need to vent, and that is what we are here for. (((BIG HUGS))). And hoping the new MFM visit goes well and you feel comfortable having them manage your care.
@mmsweeney1 - I never anticipated just how difficult the home stretch would be. I obsessively did kick counts these past few weeks and definitely broke down more than once. Sending you so many T&P that August gets here fast and your rainbow will be in your arms soon! And (((big hugs))) for you loss anniversary. These milestone during PgAL definitely benign a unique mix of emotions.

Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: 24 weeks is an exciting milestone for sure. My glucose test will be next week along with a monthly check up. I think I have one more monthly after this and then it goes to every two weeks which is exciting!
Symptoms/cravings: I literally can't stop eating. I'm trying to make healthy choices but sometimes carbs sound so much more appealing. His movements are reassuring but now when I don't feel him I of course get nervous. It's always something right?
QOTW: This pregnancy thank goodness has been very physically boring and textbook so far. I've spotted in my other pregnancies including my pregnancy with my baby girl. It's for sure been the most emotional especially as I progress further and further.
What's on your mind? My family is coming to town next week and we will be purchasing the crib and other furniture. It's surreal that I am finally getting to experience that because with my daughter we unfortunately knew that we wouldn't get to due to her diagnosis and my other losses were much earlier. I'm also starting to show more which has been making me feel very vulnerable. I just hope my sweet boy is doing ok and I worry that I will be an over bearing and controlling mother because of our journey to have him. I really don't want to be that way. I guess I have a lot on my mind but I'm really just so grateful that I even get to think about these things.
How far along are you? 7w5d
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Nope, just had our first ultrasound on Friday and got to see the little heartbeat!
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Nausea mostly, and I've been pretty tired, but not too bad so far.

Yep. With Q I felt pretty good the entire time, I was just super tired for a few weeks. This time I am super nauseous, so maybe a girl?
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm very happy to be pregnant again, but this PgAL is crazy! Even though Q was born healthy (it wasn't until he was 5 weeks old that he passed away), I now know so many things that can go wrong, and I'm freaked out!

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I am so tired lately and I want to eat every piece of junk food in sight.
QOTW: Do you feel like your pregnancies have been distinctly different physically? Oh yes. I was extremely extremely exhausted with emily through out the pregnancy. This baby moves a lot which is reassuring, with emily all I felt were faint taps. Like you can tell a difference in the babies already?
I can already tell Mia is a little diva. Everytime we have an nst done she moves around like crazy and the nurses have to come in and adjust me all over again.
