Going to post and run today. Our internet has not been working well, so doing this on the go while we are out today. I will check back in later on with everyone.
Welcome to the PgAL check-in! This the weekly check-in for May 2015 moms who have previously experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss of a child at any age. If you are new, please feel free to jump right in. I look forward to the support we can share over the many months to come. This road is not easy, it helps to have each other to lean on! In case you need a mantra refresher you can find those HERE.

Re: PgAL Weekly Check-In : Sept 30
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8 weeks 5 days, raspberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Physically I'm still nauseous and I've lost about 3lbs, but . I'm really stuck on sour foods right now. Emotionally I'm feeling a little better then last week.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
Next appointment is not until Oct 22. I don't know how I will make it.
Any updates from last weeks check-in :My ultrasound went well on Friday. I was measuring 3 days ahead and I'm currently the most pregnant I've ever been. (My losses were both around 7 weeks).
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently?
Gestation in weeks/fruit: 9w2d/olive
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? My nausea is better--doesn't happen unless I'm starving and typically later in the day. Getting emotionally sensitive. I'm sensitive anyway but little things are setting me off. Had a horrible loss dream last night so of course I'm rattled by that too.
Upcoming appointments or milestones: Tuesday materniT21 test. Guess they can tell the sex too! Crazy.
GTKY: Just started How to get away with murder. So good!! Also catching up on Masters of Sex
M/C 5w6d 6.25.14
Hoping for a rainbow!
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 7w4d/blueberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Not much, just had a great appointment last Thursday where we heard a hb of 150 and looking forward to my appt this Thursday.
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Once Upon a Time, Resurrection, and Parks and Rec are my favorites.
EDD : May 28, 2014
Gestation in weeks/fruit : a seed of some sort. I'm 5w 5d. I looked it up, bayb is the size of an appleseed
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Physically I'm exhausted. I yawn all the time and feel like I never get enough sleep. I could sleep the instant I get home each night. Commuting had been tough too. I get sleepy in the car.
Emotionally I've been so so. I don't have any ms and while I know not everyone gets it I'm so nervous. I will feel much better after my appt. on Monday.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: First appt. on Monday at 8:30. DH and I both took the day off. We are going to spend it together, whatever the outcome. MFM is going to do an u/s too. I can't wait to see that tiny bean.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Nothing much to report. I've been chillaxing. My boobs are on and off killing me. I did buy the Belly Book! One of my biggest regrets last time was not keeping a journal. I felt like writing in it was a huge first step. I also wrote Daddy in it referring to my H. He cried when he read it. It was so sweet.
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently?
Nothing much at the moment. All the shows I really care about aren't on right now. Mad Men, GOT, Downton, The Walking Dead. I'll be happy when they start again.
Thanks for check-in @momtosam! I hope you are well.

~All AL always welcome~
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 9w/2d
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I'm exhausted and hungry! Really hungry but can't eat anything because nothing seems appealing!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
I will feel so much better at my 9 a.m. appointment on Friday!!!
Any updates from last weeks check-in : my doctor told me that if it would make me feel better I could come in for an ultrasound every 2 weeks instead of 3 or possibly more. I will definitely take her up on the offer!
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Blacklist!! I got caught up on Netflix and look forward to watching it on Mondays!
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6 weeks, a sweet pea
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? The morning sickness is going strong, and usually lasts all day. I just go a script for Diclegis, so I'll be trying that this evening.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My first appointment and u/s isn't until Oct. 20th. But I did pass my loss milestone last Wednesday. I feel a bit calmer after that, but I'm still stressed waiting for the u/s.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : nope.
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? I just finished Six Feet Under last night. So I'm on the look out for a new show to binge watch
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8 weeks tomorrow (10/1)
How are you feeling physically? Ok- still tired. My breasts started becoming sore. I have food aversions but not really too much nausea. I also keep getting hot then cold...not sure if that's normal or not. Also noticed my leg hair is darker- hormones?
Emotionally? Whew- it's been an emotional week. My husband and I had an opportunity to build a home and we highly considered it but it made me a nervous wreck. I couldn't sleep or eat for 2 days. We turned it down because of all the unknowns right now, the financial burdens and because it was making me so stressed out. I pray the stress hasn't affected this pregnancy.
Also just been extra sensitive and on the verge of tears at the smallest things.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: No appointments for 2 weeks. Milestone I did tell my mom about the pregnancy due to why I was so upset and stressed out.
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Scandal
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 7w1-7w5
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Okay, just really tired and still getting bouts of nausea.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Just came from my first appointment! Saw the heart beat at 139 and measuring just 3 or so days behind which she said was fine. Next appointment is on Halloween!
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Just seeing heart beat and baby bean
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Grey's, How to get away with murder, Bones. Can't wait for The Walking Dead
Hi ladies!
EDD : May 27
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 5w6d Appleseed
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Exhausted. Little more queasy than last week. Ive also been waking up in the middle of the night hungry, eating has helped, but it hasn't been easy to fall back asleep. Still feel pretty good emotionally. Just have a lot of faith things are ok in there.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
Intake call with nurse on Thursday. They're letting me do it over the phone since I've been in for blood already.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Not really
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Scandal
I've had 5 losses total. 1 was about 17 years ago in between my 2 boys @14 weeks. I had 4 in 10 months time last year. 10 1/2, 8 1/2, 5 and 4weeks. 2 were girls and had trisomy 18 and 16. We did IVF ICSI with PGD. I'm now pregnant with a genetically normal embryo.
EDD : 5-30-15
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 5w3d. Not sure about the fruit
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I'd never guess I was pregnant if my RE's office didn't keep telling me. Emotionally I'm a basket case. I'm suppose to be all excited because we saw a sac today but I can't. I've seen lots of sacs and lots of heartbeats doesn't mean anything to me. I hate how all my losses have taken all the joy of a pregnancy away from me.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have another appt next Tuesday and should get to see a heartbeat.
Any updates from last weeks check-in
:since this is my first check in I just had an appt today and saw 1 sac measuring 1 day ahead.
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? I just started watching black list last night OMG it's good.
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6w3d
How are you feeling physically? Sore/sensitive breasts, occasional nausea, some abdominal stretching. Emotionally? Nervous. Excited. Counting down the days to my first u/s on Monday. Hoping, hoping to hear this little blueberry is healthy. My last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 8w2d, but we were told development likely stopped around 6 or 7 weeks. So, I'm almost there. Anticipation is tough!!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: U/S on 10/6.
Any updates from last weeks check-in:
My first check-in!
GTKY – What tv show are you into: Once Upon a Time, Blacklist, New Girl.
Wishing all of you the best!!
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8 wk, raspberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I am feeling well, minimal breast tenderness and cramping
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Follow up appt and u/s Thursday.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : I had an u/s last Thursday which was not promising. We saw an empty sac that was measuring behind. I have a follow up u/s in 2 days to see if there has been any growth. Hoping to see a baby this time, I really don't want another loss. I still feel preg, I have not had any bleeding, spotting, or pain. So we will see, hoping for good news...preparing for the worst
GTKY – Scandal is back!!! I love me some Olivia Pope
Gestation: 6w1d, sweet pea
Physically: I finally have a control on my nausea but was bedridden with m/s on Sunday. Unfortunately I have very strong food aversions and can't seem to eat anything other than bagels and ravioli right now. Otherwise I have the standard sore boobs and bloatedness.
Emotionally: I had a rough weekend being around my 20 week pregnant SIL who kept rubbing her belly. I was extremely depressed all weekend.
Upcoming appts: None this week. Just waiting on OB to call me with ultrasound results.
Updates from last week: last loss measured 5w5d when I was 8 weeks. I had lost all symptoms the last 2 weeks so I think I am more pregnant than last time.
GTKY: Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Once Upon a Time, New Girl
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8w3d- raspberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically pretty shitty- nauseous for most of the day. Bulking up on carbs helps briefly, but then I just feel full and bloated. Emotionally OK. Really anxious for my appt on Monday (9w2d) to get another US and check on baby (my last loss was right around now, and I found out at my 9w appt, so I'm very nervous)
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Loss milestone was right around now. So I'm irrationally panicky. I see the OB Monday 10/6.
Any updates from last weeks check-in :
GTKY – What tv show are you into currently? Grey's Anatomy- though it's sort of a labor of love. I been watching it for so long, but it's just not as good as it used to be.
DS2 born 2/22/13
MMC 5/16/14@8w2d

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, I'm exhausted, nauseous, and my boobs are absolutely killing me. Emotionally, I'm everywhere. I'm further along than I have been before, and I'm constantly panicking at any small change in symptoms or cramps to see if it is a result of my bicornuate uterus, another miscarriage, or just a regular pregnancy thing. My DH is wonderful though and taking my moodiness with a lot of love and patience.
