Q: Are you working out? How much?
Ducky719 – 7/15 No update here. Still on vacation and enjoying the time off w family. Looking forward to my u/s on Monday. There will be a big difference.
Eve_Angelique – 6/25 Almost
31 weeks! Eeeeek! Little lady is doing lots of squirming in there. I am just
praying that she doesn't come early!!they didn't get good enough
pics of her spine, so I had another today, it was so good to see her squirming
around in there!
Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) 7/2- 32 weeks now, its getting closer and closer
every day! nothing else to
up date right now... Still waiting!
carrera317 – 4/30 - Wow. I guess I've
been MIA for a while! 22 weeks here and doing ok. It's finally starting to
settle into my infertile mind that I just might bring this baby home! Freak out
time!!! All tests and our ultrasound have looked great. We went on a nice
vacation to the Caribbean for our 10 year
anniversary and now are starting to prep for this new one. It looks like I'm
amongst good company with a due date of 9/2 but a probable c section the week
before (just not the 29th cuz that's MY birthday!).
Kissies - 4/30 - So I'm 23
weeks now, went to ob this week and my b/p starting to elevate 130/90. I had
her check my other arm and it was normal. The elevated arm is the arm I have
carpal tunnel in and of course the 3 blood pressure checks made it act up! I
got labs done as baseline and all looked good and urine was negative. Still on
makena to prevent preterm labor (hate it makes me super emotional and cry like
24 hrs after taking it weekly). I'm afraid I'll be a nervous wreck come 28
weeks because that' when my water broke last time. Trying to stay calm and keep
that blood pressure down ) I go back next week because of blood
pressure.
LeoLauren - 1/15 - It's official. BFP x
2! Omg (what I'll be saying a lot for the next 7 months)!
LuvBoston, EDD 3/9/15- We had an u/s yesterday and at first the tech
only saw the sac and was panicking, she brought my MFM in and then I was
panicking but we have one baby with a good heartbeat in there. My MFM thinks
I'm bleeding because I am on to much blood thining medication. The Beer center
disagrees so I'm waiting for them to duke it out. I have a 9 inch hematoma on
my stomach from the Lovenox and several other little ones. Repeat u/s next
Thursday.
Mnerani – 7/15 Starting up week 29
and just now starting to feel pregnant- i.e. large and slow. This pregnancy
continues to fly by due to the craziness of an international move. This week we
started potty training DS, so that's been pretty all-consuming. My goal is to have
some semblance of a nursery by the end of the week. So far, #2's
"nursery" is just an extra storage room for our random crap.
Ironmom2be - 4/2 - My update is I'm in limbo between RE & OB. First OB appt isn't for another two weeks. Since I was still spotting last week, my RE offered to have me come in for another u/s, so that's next tuesday (9w) I'm feeling ok, seems like exercising is causing the spotting (my scientific study) so I'm trying to balance staying active enough that I don't feel like a slug and doing too much to cause spotting. I'm tired and nauseous (at times) so I'm just counting my blessings and hoping the 1st tri is over asap so my worries can hopefully fade a little
Jenny935-7/15 We had our first u/s this morning. 6w1d, measuring 6w, heartbeat at 112. Next u/s is next Friday. QOTW: I'm hoping to not spot for the whole time this time! On top of the stress factor, I was on pelvic rest the whole time and could barely lift anything. That would be really hard with a toddler! So I'm crossing my fingers that I can be "normal" this time.
BabyKsMommy
- EDD 12.3.14 -7/15- I'm
19w6d my official EDD is 12/3 but 11/27 is fine too. I hope they come out
sometime in November. I already had my anatomy scan and everything looks good.
Both babies are doing great. I finally felt little boy move today, which was a
first. Little girl is so active and up high so I've been feeling her for a
while.
ccam - EDD 11.29.14 – 7/15 We had our A/S last week and everything looks great! Baby is measuring on track and all of the little parts are where they should be. We are still team green. The baby was very modest and did not flash the goods. The u/s tech said she didn't even get a good look.
Pennylane26 - EDD 11.26.14 – 7/15 It's a boy! At our a/s this morning we found out we are team blue this time around and we are so excited! He was a little wild man, it took over an hour to get measurements b/c he was so active, but he is perfectly healthy (as far as they can tell) and measuring right on track at 20 weeks. He will be named Cal William after my husband's grandfather.
srveatch –7/15 Well I had my A/S this
morning and everything they could see looked good. The baby wouldn't cooperate
and the cord was between it's legs so they couldn't tell the sex. I never even
thought about not finding out today. They scheduled me for a 3D ultrasound
tomorrow to get a few pics if the heart and spine and to find out the sex. This
pregnancy is completely different than the last. I am carrying completely
higher and haven't gained as much weight. I threw up more in first tri but my
second tri has been way easier! It may be having the toddler at home that
distracts me from symptoms.
mdiblasi10 –EDD 1/30/15- 7/15 I'm 11w4d today. I took my last PIO shot and estrogen pill on Thursday. Woohoo!!!! I still have all-day nausea and I'm eating non-stop, but the overall yucky feeling I was having is beginning to subside. And I've already popped
Mayzie15- EDD 2/01/15- 7/15 Had my 11 week ultrasound yesterday and my doc tried to find the heartbeat with the Doppler and couldn't - my heart sank. There was some panic while she got the ultrasound machine out and plugged it in. We finally got to see our little one doing flips - apparently that's why my doctor couldn't find the hearbeat because if all the activity . EDD is 02/01/15 and measuring right on track. Huge sigh of relief for MH and I. I will be doing the harmony test next week and hoping everything looks good and we will find out the sex of the baby. I want to wait but MH has to know
Robeano-EDD
2/3/15 7/15 Today is my last day of progesterone!! So excited!
I also have my
first midwife appointment tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be able to hear the
heartbeat with their Doppler!!
I have my last RE
appointment and ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday.
I'm finding this
pregnancy to be different than last one and it was starting to freak me out
last night. I'm a little worried that we won't hear the heartbeat tomorrow. But
trying to remain positive!
Babies are HERE!!!
Cwhitaker27 – 7/15 just wanted to update here.
I'm not pregnant anymore cause baby is here. Scarlett arrived via induction at
5 days overdue on 7.1.2014. She is happy healthy and gaining weight like a
champ. She is 2 weeks old today.
Kissies- Welcomed DD Congrats!
Re: Pregnancy Checkin 7/22
I had my first midwife appointment last week, it was good. We had a lot to talk about though. Since I had high blood pressure last pregnancy they put me on baby Aspirin for the rest of my pregnancy to help prevent it. {PSA it's super cheap at Costco, 300 pills for $5!} Also I was instructed to read a section on VBAC since that is what we're planning on doing.
QOTW: I was working out, until I found out I had an SCH, and plus I was super exhausted. But now that I have the all clear I'm thinking about trying out again. I'm planning on doing two to three times at the gym and just walking and small stuff at home for another one to two times per week.

@Ducky719 one of my babies was behind in the beginning according to lmp but I also ovulated on cd 19 but he's fine now. I hope the next 2 wks goes quickly. I'm also surprised the re doesn't code it as OB after a confirmed pregnancy. I always love getting weekly u/s for free in the beginning.
QOTW: yah, no gym time for me. Chasing after ds is hard, plus I'm a waitress so I'm on my feet all the time waking around. I probably average 7-10 miles in a shift, so I'm good.

TTC #2
Q: I am trying to excersise every other day and doing yoga 2x a week. I also am trying to go to soulcycle one a month as it really helps my hips. I can't afford to gain the weight I did with dd.

TTC #2
QOTD: if by working out you mean chasing a toddler then yes all day, every day!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
