~~ 1st tri check in (8/27) ~~ (early)

Margritli · August 2014

The awesome @jaytee16 left us last week for the 2nd Trimester, so I am taking over for the next couple of weeks. If nobody minds, it would be better for me to post a day early on Wednesdays, instead of Thursdays.

(((HUGS))) to those that need them and good luck to all the ladies moving on to 2nd Tri! Wishing you ladies all the best!

A warm welcome and congratulations to everyone that has made it to this check-in! If there are any newcomers, please come on in and join us! I looked through last week's check in and tried to add/update everyone, but please send me a PM and include your EDD and how many beans you have cooking if I accidentally missed adding you to the list!

Feel free to post your updates here up until the 14th week.

QOTW: How are you feeling? Any weird pregnancy-related dreams yet?

Aeml1985 · August 2014

Thanks for taking over the check in, I personally can never remember what day the check in is on, I just comment when I'm tagged so it doesn't matter to me when the check in is. Just about 10 weeks (tomorrow) and my 12 wk u/s can't come soon enough, the wait is killing me! QOTW: not weird dreams, I can't really remember them when I wake up but I have been dreaming more often.

chucktgirl · August 2014

Thanks for taking over, @Margritli!
11 weeks on the nose here, 3 weeks without an u/s or b/w. Increasingly freaking out. But I still feel pregnant, so that reassures me.

QOTW: How are you feeling? Any weird pregnancy-related dreams yet?
Not too many pregnancy related ones, which is super weird since I had nightly pregnancy dreams with my previous pregnancies.

Thanks for running the check-in!

I'm super excited to join this group!!!! I'm 6+5 today and had my first view of the heartbeat on Monday. Due date is about 4/17 and we only have one bean, although I think I had a vanishing twin. Next u/s and likely RE graduation date is 9/4.

Haven't had many crazy dreams, although my sleep is all kinds of messed up. I crash like nobody's business, but I've been waking up between 3 and 5 AM can't fall back asleep for hours, causing me to spend my days like a zombie. This is also the first pregnancy where I've had any queasiness at all, but thank the goddess no puking (yet?). Food is pretty unappealing, and I'm starting to worry about nutrition. Can't figure out a vegetable that sounds good except seaweed snacks, and those are only okay sometimes.

@Ducky719 - Congrats on a great NT scan!!

Hello everyone! :-h

I'm jazzed to be able to join this group! Still have my IF brain and feel completely unprepared for this pregnancy thing because I was so busy becoming an IF expert, I didn't research actual pregnancy.

Today I am 6w6d, and have my second U/S tomorrow at 7wks. I've only got one bean in there, and our EDD is April 16th, 2015 (9 days before DH's birthday). Just typing that seems surreal. I'm hoping that I'll get to see a strong heartbeat, and get the news that the fluid in my ovaries is clearing. Wish me Luck!

@Margritli thank you for handling this checkin! I don't have a day of preference, so whatever fits your schedule best is fine by me.

QOTW: Overall, I'm feeling really humbled, because I am realizing how ignorant I am about the whole business of planning for a baby! A close friend (we have shared our mutual IF struggle) asked me the other day if I had chosen an OB. I haven't, but I do have a short list, and I haven't even talked to my RE since transfer in July! Should I be more proactive than this? I figured I could ask all my questions, regarding what to expect at each appt., when I'll get certain tests and U/S, of my OB when I meet with them. My RE hasn't even told me when to expect to be released. I figured I couldn't make an appt. for an OB until that had been settled.

Man, I've got a lot to learn.

Hi ladies! We just had our US and we were shocked to see TWO little heartbeats. It still hasn't really sunk in, this is our first pregnancy. Both measured at 6w1d. Heart rate of 126 and 107. (Maybe a boy and a girl??) Due date is April 21! Excited to get to know you all!

QOTD: Tons of lower back pain!! I can barely walk at night after a long day. I haven't had any MS yet and no food aversions. I feel like I could eat all the time! I keep having to remind myself that I'm eating for three now! I've had some super creepy dreams lately. A couple nights ago I had a dream there were these big black roots/veins all over my stomach! Yikes!

Margritli · August 2014

Hi all, I wanted to update but didn't get around to after posting the check-in, because I was so sick this past week. I ended up going to hospital but decided not to stay and try with more meds, so they upped my doses and added more, which has made a HUGE difference. I've eaten more in the past day and a half than in the past week! Word of advice to those with morning sickness or vomiting: Don't wait to go to the doctor and get more meds/an IV/whatever it is you need. I waited way too long.

Fortunately, they did a U/S and found the two little ones to be just fine. One was wiggling around in there, but the other one seemed to be sleeping/lethargic. Anyone else have a U/S where baby was not moving much? I really worried me, but I think now that my really low blood sugar might also be partly to blame. Can someone tell me to stop obsessing over this?

QOTW: I had one dream where they forgot that it was twins at birth (it was a c-section) and forgot to take one out. I had another one where I was feeding one and DH had the other and than forgot it somewhere. Strangely enough, in the second dream, I didn't even know if the babies were girls or boys and kept having to refer to them as "it" or "this baby". I think I am having some anxiety about having twins...

Hi there!!! Thanks for taking over @margritli !!

I'm doing ok , 9 weeks tomorrow and my first OB appt is on Tuesday! We've for sure only got the one bean in there if you want to update me

I've been feeling....uhh, pregnant! Which is great, not that I like feeling like I'm going to puke all day or being exhausted (who would?) but its nice to have some reassurance something is going on in there!

As for crazy dreams? Yes I have them.... just last night I dreamt I was on vacation with my mom and we were going to take a boat ride on this huge boat. Only thing was , to get on the boat you had to walk down this long sidewalk surrounded by water and there were no railings. When I stepped on the sidewalk, it started sinking into the water so I had to run....eventually I was in the water by the time I got to the boat. AAHHHHHH!!!! <~~~~ I hate water!

jszy10 · September 2014

I'd love to join you ladies!!! I am 7w2d today and am due on April 18!!

QOTW: Nauseous....and soooo tired. I try to eat every few hours so I don't really get the 'hunger' feeling that makes my nausea worse, but I'm not often actually hungry for anything in particular. Sometimes it's all day, and sometimes it comes in the afternoon...but always in the evening. I never want dinner :oP. I'm also NOT a napper but seriously feel like I could sleep all day!!

Oh sorry, and I have definitely had a few weird dreams! Can't really remember the details of them, but I know I wake up thinking "what was that!?!"
