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.

  • Thank you @momtosam‌ my mom wS very supportive, I knew she would be :) but my stepdad spilled the beans to all of their friends while we were there visiting lol

    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.

  • EDD : May 26th

    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!

  • @momtosam Thanks for the check in

    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.


    BFP #1: 8/17/13     Due Date: 4/26/14      MMC discovered @ 9w 4d       D&C: 10/2/13

  • @momtosam you are amazing at keeping up with all of us. Thank you so much!

    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? 
    One of the most memorable is our very first date. It was cute how much effort he put into planning it. He ordered takeout from one of my favorite Italian restaurants then took me to the beach for a dinner picnic to watch the sunset. It was so romantic!

    @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. I love Fall TV! Resurrection has been great so far this season, I feel like I never know what to expect! I love how there are twists and turns every week.

  • EDD :  Somewhere between 5/25-5/30 (explained later in post)

    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 ;-)

  • momtosam , How does the Doppler work? Where would you get one? 

    A doppler is pretty much what you OB uses at the appointments to get heartbeat for you at check up. A friend sent me hers. But I was looking at the Sonoline B fetal doppler. They are around $45-60 online. Just makes so you can get your baby heartbeat at home. I only tried yesterday, and could not find it. But my baby was really low at my appointment today. So going to try again tonight now that I have a general idea of where to look.

  • @momtosam- Congrats on hearing the heart beat! Such a great feeling. I hope you start getting more sleep.

    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.

  • Thanks for checking in! US Monday went great. Measuring right on track, HB 176.

    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

  • EDD : May 24th

    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.
  • Thanks for the check in!

    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.

  • EDD :
    @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. 

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : 10 weeks, 4 days/ prune

    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.

    All Welcome
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • Hi everyone, I guess it's time for me to admit there is probably a baby in there and join you lovely ladies in discussion.

    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.

    edited October 2014
    Hope you ladies don't mind me joining the discussion.

    Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) :  I have a 20 month old daughter and I had a m/c on August 13th at 5w3d.  I was really surprised to get pregnant so quickly and since I didn't technically have a LMP in August, I can only estimate my due date until my first appointment and u/s next Thursday.

    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 ;)

  • EDD : 5/17/15

    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!

    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

    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

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8w5d / Raspberry

    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.

    I was feeling really good for the most part, really tired and jet lagged after my trip...stupid 6 hour time difference. I started feeling some cramping and aches last night but better now. But now I feel like I'm having a lot of dc and thought I saw some brown in it this morning....so now I'm really impatient for my u/s  -- just wanna make sure LO is OK. I hate PGAL brain.

  • Background:  I had a missed miscarriage in April at 7 weeks.  Best the could tell, baby stopped developing the day I had my first ultrasound.  I had a D&C.  

    EDD: 05/09/2015 :) 

    Gestation 9w4d a strawberry/green olive (depending on which app I look at)

    Upcoming App: 10/28 for 12 week checkup, NST test and labs. 

    I'm feeling pretty good, nausea, dizziness, exhaustion and ickiness finally went away this week, yah! the boob soreness, insomnia and food aversions/cravings remain LOL.   Emotionally, I am alright.  We have had 3 scans so far to check on our butterbean, the last was over a week ago, and everything looked great.  I've had some minor brown spotting, but nothing that was too alarming.  

    Most memorable date is an actual date, 07/09/2011, the day our son was born.  It by far exceeded everything up until that point in our lives.

  • EDD : 5/12/15

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : Olive 9w1d

    How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I'm feeling pretty crummy a majority of the day, throwing up 1x a day typically, not able to eat or drink much, I'm down about 6 lbs. Emotionally I'm doing ok, I can feel my ute growing and the fact that I'm sick is helping

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Had my 1st appt with my m/w yesterday, didn't get to hear the HB on the doppler yet (wah , wah) so I'm going back in two weeks to check the HB (for my own good, my next appointment is 3 weeks away), she's being sweet to just let me pop in to hear it

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : we told our families because I'm going on a trip this weekend, where I'll likely be outed so we wanted to tell them first

    @sunnysidexup – Welcome to our checking, glad you can join us. Hope you are having a good week. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. FX all goes well!


    EDD : 5/28/15

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : sweet pea measuring, but OB said 6w2d today

    How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? having MS but got a prescription. Ladies, my heart almost dropped in my appt today when according to my cycle dates I'm supposed to be 7w, but doc said I'm 6w2d. baby is .52 cm but according to TB that's 7w, while OB said 6w2d. He seemed happy with it though, and baby had 120bpm heart rate. I feel better about it now, but am even more anxious to get to my Oct 30th appt. AHHH!

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: not til the 30th. just going to enjoy my MS as a good sign and enjoy getting fat. want to see more of a bump and not just bloat bump.

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : appt above

    How are you feeling physically? Morning sickness is finally starting to ease up some (I only actually vomit 2-3 times a day these days) Emotionally? Suprisingly great.

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT scan and next OB appt on the 23rd

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : I had an ultrasound last Friday and another one today and both were great, baby has a great heart rate at about 170 and it was just thumping away :) my heart melts everytime I hear it :)

    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.

    @momtosam thanks for the personal check-ins!! That was so sweet of you!


    EDD : 5-30-15

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : 6 weeks 5 days/sweet pea

    How are you feeling physically? Horrible. I'm exhausted and queasy 24/7 and have been dealing with a migraine since yesterday.
    Emotionally? We just got back from the dr and everything's great! So I'm pretty good today.

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT scan and next OB appt on Nov 12.

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : I just had an ultrasound and we are right on track! Heartbeat was good at 136 and the little bean was there! It was so amazing and has made me feel do much better!

    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.
  • EDD : May 18

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8 weeks 4 days/ Raspberry

    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.  Physcially I was hoping I could say this week that the m/s had died down but nope it came back with a vengeance last night.  Other than that just sore boobs, which are now up 1 whole cup size, fatigue, and constipation.

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment isn't until 10/29

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : No updates

    GTKY –  What has been one of the most memorable dates with your SO?
      I'm not sure I would qualify it as a date but earlier this year we got up at like 4AM on a really cold morning so that we could drive out of the city and watch all the shooting stars that were happening.  Was really nice just us and our blankets and hot coffee.

  • Thanks everyone! I finally feel like I can be here now! We had our first appointment yestrday, and it took a long while (and lots of held breath, took ages to find and was hard to keep) but we finally heard a little heartbeat!

    EDD : May 17th

    Gestation in weeks/fruit : 8 w 6 d

    How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, sick (but happy I am) and emotionally, so much better. Hearing the heartbeat yesterday found me so much relief.

    Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: U/S next week. =)

    Any updates from last weeks check-in : see above! I'm going to finally commit with a ticker! =)

    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. =)
