member
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.
Thanks to @Ramy3 creative skills we have our
PgAL badge that you can add to your siggy. 
To our ladies who experienced loss this week, know your LO will always be
remembered. You each will be in our thoughts and prayers! Many hugs!
@norsern – How are you doing? How is the food aversions going? How was your
appointment yesterday? I too enjoy Once Upon A Time. Hope you guys are liking
it too.
@ramy3 – Fingers crossed for your u/s on the 9th. Have you had any
other concerns the past few days? I am with you on the m/s. I have lost quite a
bit of weight. I finally have stabilized. Hope you get to a good place soon!
Another Once Upon A Time watcher. Woot. I need to catch up the newest episodes
still.
@kate6214 – Glad you have found a food you can handle! That is a great place to
start with the food issues. Are you feeling good emotionally this week as well?
YAY for an awesome u/s a couple weeks ago! FX all continues on track. I have
not seen Call the Midwife. I will have to add that to my watch list on Netflix.
Thank you for helping with our check in!! The help is much appreciated!
@PlayboyMommy – How have you been feeling this week? How did your test go
today? Any news on boy or girl? I do not know how long the results take to come
in for the MaterniT21 test. How to get away with murder looks like a good show.
I may have to check it out as well.
@kj808 – Hope all is continuing to go great. How the u/s go on Thursday? You
are into all great shows! I am catching up on Resurrection currently.
@Poppy715 – How did your appointment go on Monday? Do you like the Belly Book
as a journal? I have not found one yet to do with this pregnancy. I just caught
up with Walking Dead and excited for this new season.
@audpod2004 - How was your appointment
on Friday? That is awesome your OB is working with your PgAL brain. This
pregnancy I am getting the least u/s we have ever done. I am really nervous
about it, but a friend sent me a Doppler so I am excited to have that at home
to use daily if I want. Hope all went well on Friday for you.
@ElsieMae – How is the Diclegis working for you? Hope that have given some
relief! FX for you as you approach your u/s date. I have not done six feet
under yet. May have to add that to the watch list as well.
@mlbrooks619 – Sorry you had a rough couple weeks emotionally. I hope this week
has been better. Hope you mom has been supportive since you told her. How are
you feeling this week?
@scubakate – Yay for a great appointment last week How are you feeling this
week? I also just caught up on Netflix with Bones excited for the new season.
@robotpcr – How has the unisom and B6 been working for you? Glad you have not
had too many worries lately. Hope that continues. I just blew through all of
Bones this week with the last season. Excited for the new season.
@littlecookie – Glad you are doing well emotionally! How did your call on
Thursday go? When is your next appointment?
@soyboy – Yay for nothing too terrible m/s wise and that you are in a good
place emotionally! It is okay for the due to be a few days off. They typically
will not change it unless difference more than 7 days. Only really an issue if for
a c-section or induction date. Hopefully this due date sticks for you. Glad
nothing was wrong when you went to hospital!
@pintobean39 – Welcome to our check in. Sorry to hear about all your losses. FX
this is your rainbow baby!! Glad that all is going well physically so far. Just
try to focus on the joy of being

Just another cloth diapering, baby wearing mama.

Re: PgAL weekly check in : Oct 7
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 10w6d
How are you feeling physically? I am still getting my butt kicked by m/s. Zofran is certainly helping, but not completely. I am realizing I am not getting enough sleep and that is not helping with the m/s at all. So working on getting more rest. I finally have stabilized with my weight loss. Only down a few ounces from my last appointment a couple weeks ago.
Emotionally? At a much better place after hearing heartbeat today. I was very nervous at the appointment cause the OB could not locate it, took a while to find. But he did find "Leia" (DH nickname for the baby). Huge relief. I now have a doppler, that a friend sent me, to use at home. Hopefully I can find Leia now that I know where to look.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment is not for another 4 weeks. Sadly no NT scan for us because our insurance is being weird about covering it. Not too concerned, just would have loved a chance to see Leia in the next week or so.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Just that the weight loss has finally stopped. Hopefully I can continue to maintain my current weight.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? My favorite date is still our very first real date. He picked me up after he worked graveyard shift to go hiking a local mountain. We got to see the sunrise while hiking up it. Then we went to IHOP for breakfast after. It was a lot of fun and a great time spent getting to know each other. We both love hiking, so was perfect for both of us.
BFP 4/5/09, EDD 12/4/09, m/c 7/31/09
BFP 5/27/11, EDD 1/17/12, DS born 1/16/12
BFP 8/16/14, EED 4/29/15, We are having another BOY!
Yup. DS is Tommy Pickles! Nothing like living with an escape artist.
Just another cloth diapering, baby wearing mama.
EDD : 10/3/15
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 10w2days-Prune
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I am feeling good. Nausea comes and goes, no more throwing up, and when I am tired I try to take a nap even if it is a short one. I am hungry! But nothing sounds or looks appealing and I've just been trying to eat what I can. Emotionally, I feel pretty good too. My appointment on Friday went well. Strong heartbeat and got to see our little gummy bear as my husband calls it.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I cannot wait until I reach the 12 or 13 week mark! And my next appointment is on Oct. 31st! I hear these appointments are relatively short so I hope I'll be able to hear my baby's heartbeat.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Feeling much better, and still cannot wait to enjoy food!
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
EDD : 5/13
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 9 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling physically? Good. Constipation, some sciatic pain, a few cramps which are mild so I think are uterus stretching cramps.
Emotionally? Good
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: next us next week at 10 weeks. 9 weeks was when baby stopped growing last time so big appt next week.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? Before we moved we used to go to the same restaurant every Valentine's Day. Those were my favorite.
M/C @ 8w 3/31
EDD: 5/23
7w3d / blueberry
Next u/s: 10/28
DH and I will celebrate our first anniversary on 10/19, so that's the date that's sticking out now!
My Pgal brain was in overdrive this weekend! Dreamt all Saturday that I was at the doctor's, and she was giving my bad news. Sunday, I was on an emotional roller coaster.
On Monday, TWO heartbeats were detected. We were shocked. One was in the 160s and the other in 170s. I don't know what they were measuring in age, but had to be around 7w for those heart rates. There are two separate sacks. My doctor informed us of vanishing twin (sounds like it could be around 25%) but we are hoping and wishing and praying that we have two healthy babies. We had been joking about twins, given my age (I'll be 39 when these babies are born - they will be my first), DH (alarmed he'll be 60 when these babies graduate from HS), and knowing we did want two, but didn't want huge age gap for my stepson (he will be amost 8 when babies arrive). There was an infant at our wedding (11 days old). We were told that holding him at our wedding meant triplets. Well, maybe they were 2/3 right!
So, happy we saw heartbeats! But again, trying to relax for the next appt.
Anyone with twin experience?
Hope everyone is doing well!!!
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 7 weeks today / blueberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Today is a great day! Last week I was informed that I had low progesterone and was placed on a supplement. Since then I have been a nervous wreck and bounced back and forth between feeling like I had no reason to believe anything was wrong and being sure this wasn't going to work out. Today I had my follow up ultrasound and saw a healthy looking little jellybean with a strong heartbeat. Yay!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I had an US today and will have another followup in 3 weeks. After that its back to monthly appointments for me!
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? Well... this time of year always reminds me of our trips to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. There is a huge one near our house and one year we got lost in the maze for 2+ hours!
Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) : I got pregnant May 2012 and had a miscarriage around 5 weeks. The baby was not planned and I wasn't married yet but it showed me how much I would love a baby. I got pregnant on my honeymoon in December and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in September 2013.
EDD : 5/30
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6 weeks, sweet pea
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Nauseous and hungry! A little nervous until my ultrasound.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Ultrasound next Friday
Any updates from last weeks check-in : This is my first time.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? One time we got up super early to watch the sunrise at the beach. It was my idea and it was awesome.
EDD: May 7
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit:
9 weeks 5 days olive
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?
Physically The nausea has been waning a little in the last two days. I've lost a few lbs, but I'm overweight so it's not a big deal. Boobs are killing me and prepregnancy I was a 32G and I'm spilling out of the cups.
Emotionally I've been doing ok. Then a new teacher at work miscarried this week. She was far enough along to be showing. It really hit me hard. Also my mom's best friend who is a big loud mouth found out I'm pregnant and is ready to tell the world. (A relative thought she was messaging my mom on Facebook and instead posted to her wall) so now we had to tell her about my losses in order to hopefully keep her trap shut. I've still got 2 weeks until my next appointment which feels like forever.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones
This past week was the anniversary of my first D&C.
GTKY: My husband is not the romantic type, but for our first anniversary we stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast and ate at some awesome local restaurants and he planned the entire thing and kept it a surprise.
EDD : May 15
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8w4d/raspberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Not bad physically. Just bloated, sore boobs, heartburn, some shortness of breath, fatigue, food aversions, and occasional nausea. Emotionally I find myself getting irritated easily and snapping at DH for weird reasons. I feel bad after but it seems justified at the time!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment is on the 20th with my OB. I'm guessing i'll get a pelvic exam and pap. Awesome. Hopefully i'll be able to see/hear baby again too.
Any updates from last weeks check-in: My appointment last Thursday went really well. Baby is still measuring on track and hb increased to 171. I graduated from my RE!
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6w3d, sweet pea
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically a lot of my symptoms have subsided since today. They are still sort of there, just not as strong. Mostly food aversions, but the nausea is better. Emotionally I am a wreck as of yesterday. I knew i had my 2nd ultrasound today and it didn't hit me until yesterday and I was suddenly very scared. I had an interesting experience while waiting for my ultrasound (in its own post) so that sort of calmed my nerves. At my facility, the sonographers aren't really allowed to say much to you but she said she could tell me if she found a heartbeat, which she didn't. I was also measuring only 6w3d instead of 7w1d which I guess isn't horrible? I basically left the office with no new information other than I was measuring behind. Not knowing is horrible and I had to cry it out for 10 minutes in the car before going to work. I just don't know if I should still be excited or not. I did have a good beta last Wednesday though so I am trying to focus on that. Also 6w3d is further than I got last time, which is also positive.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: None
Any updates from last weeks check-in : I guess I mentioned those above.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? I think our first date is still one of the most memorable. He took me to a nice wine bar in downtown Orlando then since it was a Sunday and a lot was closed, we went to Walmart (on a first date!!!) and bought a DVD to go watch at his house. Let's just say we didn't make it too far into the movie ;-)
BFP 4/5/09, EDD 12/4/09, m/c 7/31/09
BFP 5/27/11, EDD 1/17/12, DS born 1/16/12
BFP 8/16/14, EED 4/29/15, We are having another BOY!
Yup. DS is Tommy Pickles! Nothing like living with an escape artist.
Just another cloth diapering, baby wearing mama.
I also wanted to thank you for doing this check-in. You are so sweet to do a personal check in with everyone. I started crying when I read it. Thank you!
EDD: May 10
Gestational Age: 9 weeks, 2 days
How are you feeling? Emotionally... I feel better since passing our loss milestone and because the morning sickness has been terrible (I take that as a good sign). I'm very nervous for our u/s tomorrow but am hopeful that if all looks good I might be able to relax a bit. Physically... Awful. M/S is kicking my butt!
Upcoming appointments: U/S tomorrow!
GTKY: I think my most memorable date with DH was our first date. We met to play volleyball, then went to dinner. We obviously didn't want the date to end so we went to a movie. Then, I invited him over to watch Survivor and Amazing Race (a common interest we discovered). We talked for hours and I didn't want him to leave 13+ hours later we said good night and I knew something special was starting.
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
EDD : 5/9
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 9w3d
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically a mess. Still nauseous all day long! Pretzel sticks and really cold water are about all that sounds appetizing today. Emotionally not bad- I've now had 3 good USs and am a little tiny bit more relaxed.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT scan 10/24, next OB visit 11/3
Any updates from last weeks check-in :
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
Dinner at this restaurant on the water in Sorrento, Italy on our honeymoon. The food and atmosphere were out of this world.
DS2 born 2/22/13
MMC 5/16/14@8w2d
DD due 5/9/15 Please be our RAINBOW
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 7 weeks 2 days
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Exhausted! I'm a first grade teacher and I am not sure how I am going to get through this school year pregnant. To top it all off I've had an awful cold.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: In 2 weeks.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Yesterday we went to the doctor and had a heartbeat! It was such a relief in a way, but also still very worried.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? Our last anniversary we went to a little town that has lots of shops, a brewery, and a winery. Everything was walkable so we got a hotel room, hit the winery, then the brewery, then all the little shops in the morning and also some really cool scenic spots.
EDD : 5/27
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6w6d
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically is up and down, I felt perfectly fine for a couple days which of course cued a freakout as I was sure it was over. However nausea has resumed full force the last few days, now all I can convince myself to eat are starchy carbs. I think my eating habits are going to give me away to my coworkers before anything else, I had been eating really healthy and now I eat terrible food... Emotionally I am a big ball of crazy, all I can focus on is that tomorrow I will know if this is a viable pregnancy.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Tomorrow!! Finally my first appt with US! I'll update afterwards!
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Nada
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
I think one of our most memorable was a trip to San Antonio for our 1 year dating anniversary. It was TERRIBLE, but we both realized how much we hate large cities and that we are much better suited for small towns and lazy weekends. It must have been a good start as we're still going strong 11 years later.

@momtosam thanks for the check in. I'm glad you got to hear the heartbeat. I'm thinking about getting a doppler too. You'll have to let me know what you think about yours.
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I am feeling pretty good this week. My boobs are still pretty sore, I can't button some of my pants, and I'm feeling super tired in the afternoon, but no more m/s this week (or for the past couple weeks really). Last week I was a wreck emotionally, but I feel much better now that DH and I have seen the baby again and got to see it moving around in there.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I had a blood panel run today as part of a screening test. I've never seen so many vials collected at one time in my life. I think I counted her taking seven. This is going to be combined with a NT scan and some more blood work in the second trimester. My next OB appointment is on October 27th.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : My appointment went well and baby was measuring four days ahead of their original measurements from my first u/s.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? When we lived in San Francisco we used to take frequent road trips to places within two hours or the city. Sonoma was a favorite spot of ours. It was fun to visit a winery, or have a picnic in the town square. San Francisco was always so cold in the summer and I always craved the sunshine. It was a lovely weekend retreat.
Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) : I have had 5 early miscarriages (ranging from 6 wks to 14 wks). But, this time I am shocked to say I accidentally got pregnant while celebrating an anniversary. I got put on progesterone as a safety procaution but as I have never been pregnant without infertility treatments I have no idea what to expect.
EDD : 05/30
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6 wks 5 days (um blueberry?)
How are you feeling physically? I feel great except for the progesterone makes me moody. That is not abnormal for me, I tend to get m/a at the end of my viable pregnancies not the beginning. Emotionally? Holy heck I am a mess.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have blood labs tomorrow and my first u/s on Friday to check for viability and confirm gestation since I don't know when (for sure) I got pregnant.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : my first time
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
My husband and I once stood and talked in the rain for 4 hours. Sounds silly but it's when I knew I would marry him.
EDD : Like I mentioned above, I'm really just guessing at this point because my m/c was on August 13th and the day I *think* I conceived was either Sept. 1st or 2nd (not temping or tracking, I just know we only had sex one time and I don't remember exactly which of those days it was). Based on that, I'm estimating that I'm a little over 7w but hoping to confirm next Thursday (10/16).
Gestation in weeks/fruit : See above.
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I've had a ton of nausea which I didn't have with my DS at all. I'm worried that I'm gaining weight way too quickly (up 3lbs from nervous eating I think). Emotionally, I'm still very paranoid that something could happen to this baby since I haven't seen an u/s yet.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: First appointment and u/s is on 10/16
Any updates from last weeks check-in : N/A
ETA:
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? When we vacationed in LA, we went to dinner at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant and did the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was amazing. We love a good meal
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8w/3d Raspberry
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically drained between m/s that lasts all day and exhaustion, back hurts and lightheaded spells. Emotionally feeling good!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appt is 10/27 to hear the heartbeat, this will be a nerve racking day since it's the time frame and appt that everything went wrong last time.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Had some spotting last week and went in for an u/s to check on things and had a great HB of 167 and measuring ahead by 3 days (though it's too early to change a due date or anything so i'm keeping everything based on my 5/17 due date)
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? My husband (while we were dating) picked my up at my apartment in college, had packed a picnic and we went to the lake and he taught me how to skip rocks. This lake was typically packed with people, but on this particular day no one else was there. We stayed long enough to watch the sun set and it was amazing!
BFP #2 on 9/3/14. EDD 5/14/15
Thinking of you @mrsmustard12
EDD : 5/27
Gestation in weeks/fruit : 7wks
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: I'm still doing good emotionally. Physically not so great. When I talked to the nurse last week she said she'd put in a Zofran prescription for me, but I didn't need it then. It's gotten bad though, so I may call back this morning. I'm also already constipated.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I did bloodwork on Monday. Waiting for results. First appt is next Tuesday.
Any updates from last weeks check-in not really
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
On our "babymoon" to FL with our son, my H went fishing while I got a massage. The chef at the resort made us a four course meal with the fish. It was super romantic.
EDD : May 15

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Ultrasound today with the new doctor. My RE would only see me before 8 weeks, so seeing my OBGYN today for first prenatal.

How are you feeling physically? I don't really have any symptoms, even my boobs shrunk and aren't sore. Today food hasn't really sounded good to me. I'm not really nauseated I just don't want food but my stomach is growling. Emotionally? Today is better. I even started looking at nursery ideas on Pinterest.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have another appt next Tuesday, blood work and us.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : I had an appt yesterday and we saw a hb of 115 and I was measuring 6w2d. All my babies I lost that I saw their heartbeats had extra chromosomes. I know this one has the correct chromosomes so I'm trying to hang onto that.
GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? Not so much a date, but last yr after my first mc my husband and I went to the house in Savannah for a week just the 2 of us. We bought bikes and rode around every day, went on every kind of tour we could find and just escaped from life for a week. It was awesome!!! It's now become our goto place when we need to regroup and have gone back a few times since.

GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
Hmmm... We've had lots, I think of my husbands first birthday we spent together we spent 5 hours drinking wine and eating dinner learning about each other and loving each other's company. Another that comes to my head was a romantic dinner over the water in Phuket on our honeymoon, it was the two of us, the ocean and the moon, it wa beautiful.

GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
Hmmm... We've had lots, I think my most memorable was 2 years ago over Christmas. We went to visit my parents on Oahu and my husband and I went to Kauai for a night. It was so fun just being the two of us, it almost felt like we were back on our honeymoon. We just hung out at the beach, went to a really nice dinner and explored around our hotel.

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Emotionally I still feel pretty good other than DWTS made me cry this last week watching everybody's emotional stories.

Other than that just sore boobs, which are now up 1 whole cup size, fatigue, and constipation.

GTKY – What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO? Oye, too many, the time he snuck down from school to visit me (and propose) and had an elaborate "Amazing Race" style proposal, I'm not even sure. We're homebodies, so an amazing date usually involves something fun at home.
