Pregnancy Checkin 8/26

luvboston · August 2014

Hi ladies!

Good luck Everyone!

((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!!

Hugs to KDR!

This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently pregnant.

If there are any newcomers that would like to be added to the list, post below and include you EDD and how many beans you have cooking.

Checkin is every Tuesday, feel free to post updates all week.

Q: Do your maternity clothes fit the second time around? Any trips planned?

BabyKsMommy - EDD 12.3.14- 8/19 25 weeks today. I had a regular appt on Monday and both babies had good heart rates. I have a growth scan tomo which I am excited about as DH will be coming. He hasn't seen the babies since 16 wks. I'm on 2 wk appts now which is great because I'm super nervou about ptl.

Blueberries8-8/19- I had a bleeding scare today with a little light pink bleeding. I went to the clinic with the hope of getting another beta for reassurance, especially because if things are going in the wrong direction I rather know ASAP. They offered to do an ultrasound as well. I saw a gestational sac with a yolk sac which is pretty much exactly what you'd expect to see at 5w1d. There wasn't a visible fetal pole yet. They saw no obvious source of the bleeding, though I do have a cyst on my right ovary.

My beta came back at 10762. I am happy it is increasing but it is a bit weirdly high for what was seen on the ultrasound for a singleton so I am not sure how to explain that. I am happy that so far it looks like a singleton pregnancy -- twins are awesome but with my history, a singleton is definitely the safest bet. I will go back next Thursday and hopefully we will see a heartbeat and fetal pole then. Just praying that everything keeps progressing!

In other news, I look about 20 weeks pregnant between Prednisone and the standard IVF bloat. It's so awkward, especially this time of year when I can't hide behind a big sweater or sweatshirt. It makes me feel gross but as long as everything continues, it will be well worth it.

ccam - EDD 11.29.14 – 8/19 No real updates, just truckin' along! I'm 25w4d today- getting big and feeling lots of movement.

Ducky719 -8/19 11w2d here and getting closer to my NT scan. Just one more week! Then I'll come out of hiding. I am so tired of wearing loose clothing. I just feel fat (I'm not...just very visibly pregnant). Overall I'm still feeling good.

Eve_Angelique – 8/19 Due really any day now, I've been saying all along EDD 8/29 but I learned that my midwives had my date as 8/23. So that will only matter if I go much over the 29th but I really hope that she comes some time this week! I am so ready for her!

Jenny935-8/19 Today is 11w. I feel like people are doing a lot of looking at my stomach (it's getting bigger - it's in the range that I'd probably think pregnant or chubby? if I saw it on someone) but that could just be my imagination. I did wear maternity capris today because I was wearing a bigger work shirt that could cover the waistband. SO COMFORTABLE. I got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler at my OB intake last Friday which was awesome, I wasn't expecting to!

Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) 7/22 sorry its been a while life is crazy here right now, and i dont see it letting up till maybe november! 35 weeks now, and baby will be here in 26 days! I cant believe its so soon!!! Been rough with contractions and sickness making a return... Only a few more weeks!

KMC84-EDD4/11/15-8/19-one heartbeat of 132!!!!!! (And a SCH scare, but it's resolving!)

LuvBoston, EDD 3/9/15- 8/19/14 I am 11 weeks 2 days! Had my NT Scan yesterday and passed with flying colors. The stupid Panorama test isnt back yet 14 days and counting. My mfm told me I'm negative and pessimistic, I wonder why? No one else has so much trouble with these tests.

My stomach saga continues too bad I'm not actually having multiples I would look the part:)

mdiblasi10 –EDD 1/30/15- 8/19 I'll be 17 weeks on Friday! Things are going well and I'm loving my growing belly and feeling little flutters I'm a very happy mama right now and really letting it sink in that I'll have two kiddos in January. Looking forward to the anatomy scan on Sep 4th

Mayzie15- EDD 2/01/15- 8/19-DS came home with a nasty flu bug and kept getting sick. He finally felt better Sunday night. Monday night @ 1:00 am I started getting sick and couldn't hold anything down until this afternoon. MH ended up getting it last night too. I had to cancel my update appt with my dr. yesterday and I'm nervous and hope everything is good will find out tomorrow at my rescheduled appt. LO is 1 tomorrow! Where did the time go - his party is on Saturday and I still have so much to do.

Mnerani – 8/18- Almost 34 weeks and feeling great. Our shipment from Kenya just arrived to the U.S. (2 months at sea!) and now it "just" has to clear customs. That could take 2 days or 2 months, so I'm praying it's sooner rather than later. I really want to be settled in before the new baby comes. I'm so over moving!

Pennylane26 -Boy EDD 11.26.14 – 8/19 Going in for a BP check today (I'm on every other week appts now), fx it's good! Had one high reading a few days ago but overall the labetelol is working its magic! Did have a bit of protein in my urine last week (+1) so they'll be checking again today. I'm feeling good so hopefully the test results match up!

srveatch –8/19 Going on 25 weeks, I feel huge lately! A is teething and is mad at my bump... She tries to push it out of the way. DH has left the laundry in the washer several times. I have to say, I've done it as well. While it isn't great, we are both busy working parents and trying to keep up . We just rewash with bleach. The one load we ruined were towels... I am pretty sure if you hang them out in the sun after a rewash it will cure the mildew smell.

Robeano-EDD 2/3/15- 8/19 16 weeks today. Did my 2 hour GD test today. It was awful, I felt like throwing up for most of it. Blah. Have my next midwife appointment this Thursday, looking forward to hearing the heartbeat.

Babies are HERE!!!

Robeano · August 2014

17 weeks today. Feeling tired. I had a midwife appointment last Thursday, I heard the heartbeat. I love that sound!! My blood pressure was fantastic, so that's good news. I also booked my anatomy scan for Sept 11. Can't wait to find out what we're having!!

QOTW: my pants didn't survive last pregnancy, but all the rest of my maternity clothes fit fine. I actually just got some more pants and a few new shirts. I'm all set!! No trips planned right now, but I do want to do a babymoon in Nove

itsmevkb · August 2014

Ladies, I'm pregnant. My first beta is tomorrow so I have my fingers crossed. Yes, I know the actual number doesn't matter, it's the doubling, and honestly, I know even doubling doesn't guarantee anything but you know, baby steps and I need little things to focus on rather than big picture things like holy cr*p I am going to have five kids!

I remember that some of the maternity clothes I wore the first time around became two small in subsequent pregnancies despite my weight being about the same. This time around I'm wondering if I'll have to buy smaller as I lost around 30 pounds since having Maren.

ccam · August 2014

26w3d today! Nothing really new to update. I need to go for my glucose test and completely forgot this past weekend, but I have another week to get it done. In some ways, I can't believe I'm almost in the 3rd trimester but I definitely feel like I am!! Slow and tired.

QOTW: Yes, my maternity clothes from DS still fit. Since DS was born in August and this baby is due in November, I'll probably need some warmer clothes eventually but besides that I've picked up a few new shirts and 2 pairs of pants.

ETA: No trips planned. With my sister getting married in October, we have too much stuff going on. We did go away in July but that was about it.

mdiblasi10 · August 2014

Big hugs KDR.

I say it every week, but I can't believe I will be 18 weeks on Friday! Nothing new going on. I am still taking the Zofran. I try to skip it some days, but I get really nauseous. Counting down the days until the anatomy scan next week

QOTW: Yes, most of them fit still but I've also bought a bunch of new stuff. I needed a lot more earlier on this pregnancy, plus I figured out what I actually liked and wore from last time and bought more of those kinds of things.

Yes! We are going to Disneyworld at the end of September. DH's best friend, wife and three kids live in West Palm Beach, so we are spending time with them as well, then all going to Disney together. We are Disney freaks so we are very excited. We live by Disneyland here in CA so last year we did the same trip to FL and bought an annual pass that works in CA and FL! We are really making the most of the pass cost by getting two trips to FL in.

Eve_Angelique · August 2014

Update: Baby still in there....getting anxious! Officially past my due date according to my midwives, so I will have an appt with them next monday probably to talk about next steps if I don't have her this week.

QOTW: I had DS at the beginning of the summer so I did have to get some shorts and capris this summer. But otherwise most everything else was fine. No trips officially planned, I will probably go visit my best friend about a month or so after baby girl is born, she is just a 2 hour drive north. Then we will probably try to visit the in-laws about 4 hours away before maternity leave is over as well. So nothing too exciting really, just family and friend time.

luvboston · August 2014

12 weeks 1 day! We got the panorama test back everything is low risk genetically and we are having a boy! What do you do with boys? We haven't had one in the family in 60 years.

I can now attribute all my stomach distress to a boy they are little devils:)

I also got a 5k bill from Panorama nice gift that i have to sort out.

Q: my pg clothes fit they are just tighter sooner than the last pg. I am prob going to California next week.

itsmevkb · August 2014

Oh, I forgot the trips planned part of the question, probably because no, I have zero trips planned and sadly haven't been on one in two years now.

mdiblasi10 · August 2014

@luvboston Congrats on team blue!!!! Boys are so much fun and they sure love their mama's

PennyLane26 · August 2014

Update: 26 weeks! Looking forward to entering 3rd tri soon! Had the nursery painted and the crib arrived this week. Getting very excited for this little man! My heartburn is terrible, but other than that I am feeling good, although this belly is getting a little uncomfortable!

QOTW: Had to borrow sister's maternity clothes b/c I've never been pregnant over the summer before, luckily we are the same size! I have plenty of cold weather clothes from my last pregnancy to get me to November and I know they fit because I actually am 10 lbs less this time around (OHSS and pre-E did not help matters the first time around - holy bloat!). As for trips, staying put for the rest of 2014. We do have a big Disney trip planned for NEXT November (2015) - so excited for it! Maybe we'll plan a getaway for the spring, too. We shall see!

Mayzie15 · August 2014

17 weeks and doing well. Had an appt last week and everything is good. I've been so pre-occupied and it seems this pregnancy is starting to fly by.

QOTW I'm still not in maternity clothes and carrying like I did before. I think I'll have to get a few things since the seasons are different. We have a trip planned to San Diego in October. Legoland, sea world, and the zoo. Should be fun - our first vacation in almost 4 years.

itsmevkb · August 2014

I just got the results from my first beta. At 14dpo it is 110 which is good. I won't have another thought now for a week which might actually help my anxiety instead of hurt since sometimes too much information is not a good thing for me!

srveatch · August 2014

I'll be 26 weeks on Thursday. I have been busy planning baby brother's nursery on Pinterest. I am ready to get started but am having a hard time deciding if we need another crib or if we will put A in a day bed in her new big girl room. My heartburn is getting worse and I've been getting a few headaches lately. Other than that I feel pretty good! No trips planned any time soon. I am saving my paid time off for Maternity leave. My maternity clothes are right in season since my due date is A's birthday. Good thing they still fit!

Jenny935 · August 2014

Big hugs to KDR. I'm so sorry.

itsmevkb‌! There are days when I question my sanity with a second, so I applaud you and your 5th.

No huge updates here. I hit 12w yesterday. My principal stared at my sooooo obvious stomach and said in an amusing tone, "Are you ready to share with the rest of the building yet?" We're waiting until after we see DH's siblings on Saturday so we can tell them in person. Thank goodness, because I'm tired of having to remember not to say anything! Also, our NT scan is on Friday so hopefully we'll have good, calming news at that point.

QOTW: I think my clothes are going to fit ok. This baby is due 7 days after DS's birthday so everything is the right season. However the heat in my classroom was stuck on "high" that winter, so I didn't need a lot of super winter clothes. I wore short sleeves and then put my winter coat on to go home and wore a hoodie at home! They fixed the heat and it's cold in there now, so I may need some layers. I did buy 2 pairs of capris last week because I'm bigger sooner. Vacation wise, we are going to a wedding on the west coast Halloween weekend without DS. I am so sad to miss Halloween, but he's young enough that he won't remember it and this wedding is for a friend I've had since I was 13. Plus, you know, southern California in October.
