Appointments/Milestones: Had an OB appointment this week where we got to listen to the HB. We listen with the doppler at home, but it was nice to pick it up so fast at the appointment and hear it nice and loud. I want to steal the OBs doppler!
Questions/comments: My friend sent me some cute girl outfits last week which broke the seal and now we started buying a few things.
GTKY: It's not traditional U.S. Thanksgiving, but I always make a pumpkin flan that my grandmother used to make. I'm ready to make it NOW.
Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!! Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545 -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
Symptoms: exhaustion, nausea(when I don't take my zofran), constipation, and a short temper.
Appointments/Milestones: appt next week
Questions/comments: I really miss enjoying food.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Do yams count? I always forget to save room for dessert. Pumpkin pie is meh and my family usually makes a chocolate pudding pie. Yum.
@T1green last year during one of my pregnancies I had horrible constipation, yes colace was a joke. My Dr told me to eat some satsumas (they are like and orange/tangerine). OMG it worked. Maybe try to eat a lot of citrus, it's fiber and liquids all in one.
Week/Fruit: 11 Lime
Symptoms: just indigestion now. I've been eating the hell out of tums.
Appointments/Milestones: had an appt with my OB last week. He tried to hear the hb on the Doppler no luck so he pulled out the us and we got a sneak peak. I've got to go get the blood work for the genetic test drawn in the next week or 2. I'm just in no hurry since we already did genetic testing and were team green.
Questions/comments:
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving..... Pecan pie and apple pie. I can't wait!
Symptoms: Exhaustion, peeing all the time, and getting sick in the evenings. I've been way more emotional the past few days too. My husband has also gotten a kick out of my pregnancy brain.
Appointments/Milestones: Our next appointment is this upcoming Thursday! Can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat. I also think we are doing the Harmony test.
Questions/comments: Is the Harmony test just getting your blood drawn? I don't want any kind of surprises on Thursday.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? French silk pie
I feel better during the days but still tired by late afternoon.
We got the CVS results back last night - everything looks normal and it's a boy! Pretty excited to know all this.
Thanksgiving is a big event at my in-laws, so I'm looking forward to that. Last year, we contributed cinnamon buns for dessert and breakfast the day after.
Symptoms: just some light uterus aches. Stopped taking b6 and unisom last night. I'm experimenting if my nausea went away
Appointments/Milestones: no apt till nov 17th @gsancho at my last apt the doppler. Was chillen on the counter and I wanted it hahah I told my husband I want their doppler and he laughed, he steals bandaids and gloves when they make him wait in the office too long.
Questions/comments:
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving..... Never too early to think About it, but I don't have one
@marijaa333 Thanks! My doctor was recommending it at my last appointment and sent me home with a little info but there wasn't much to it. I'm glad it's just a blood test! That makes me feel much better
Symptoms: I've had a couple headaches this week but I think it's mostly from exhaustion. I've had two days where I didn't take my morning nausea pill and they went okay so I think I'm finally nearing the end of the sickness of first tri. Yay.
Appointments/Milestones: No appointments until the 20th.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? I'm Canadian so Thanksgiving was a month ago already which is so sad. Every year we go back to DH's hometown and his whole extended family gets together for a meal. His Aunt makes the most amazing strawberry cheesecake square. I dream about them all year long!
Symptoms: tired and nauseous.. But I haven't puked since Tuesday... That's a record in recent weeks. Hopefully it Kees trending that way
Appointments/Milestones: bump is starting to form... No appointment til the 18th
Questions/comments: my son is being extra difficult today... I can't wait for daddy to get home...
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? I'm really more about the mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy... Mmm... For dessert though- I tend to go for coconut cream or cherry pie...
After some confusion with my doctor's office on which EDD she's going with, I'm back over here on Saturdays. I'm such a flip flop, haha!
Week/Fruit: 12/plum
Symptoms: Back pain started up this week, along with the usual on-and-off all day nausea, food aversions (I apparently cannot eat chicken at all without feeling extremely ill), and digestion issues
Appointments/Milestones: Regular check-up with my OB this past Monday, and all went well. I'd posted in the appt AW thread about a lot of trepidation going into this appt due to a lot of spotting I'd had, and not having seen the baby in over a month to make sure everything was okay. We got to see a very blurry ultrasound look at the baby, but confirmed that everything is good and baby has a heartbeat.
Next appt is on the 18th, our NT scan!
Questions/comments: Just feeling very relieved and optimistic. We went out and bought our first baby thing - Disney shoes we'll be incorporating into our announcement.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Pecan pie, hands down. My mom makes a killer one.
Symptoms: Still a bit tired but getting more normal, craving everything
Appointments/Milestones: NT scan was Tuesday and was amazing seeing baby even saw the hand and all baby's fingers. Got the results in the mail just now and all my results say low risk less than 1 in 10,000 so that is great news!
Questions/comments: Trying to change insurance and therefore doctors ....hoping it goes ok and I like the new doctor, I wasn't 100% sure on my original doctor.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Pumpkin roll - homemade with pumpkin I pureen myself.
Week/Fruit: 14/lemon (and can I add that I think peaches are bigger than lemons..TB confuses me with its fruit sizes)
Symptoms: Nausea has finally just about let up. A little bit of insomnia. But hopefully coasting into early/"easy" 2nd tri
Appointments/Milestones: Nothing really coming up. I listen to baby on the doppler almost every day and I swear I may have felt a flutter here & there.
Questions/comments:
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving..... Pumpkin roll. I will have to have someone limit my intake
DS1 born 4/17/11 DS2 born 2/22/13 MMC 5/16/14@8w2d DD due 5/9/15 Please be ourRAINBOW
Symptoms: Headaches, nausea is back, and most recently been getting horrible painful stomach cramps after eating.
Appointments/Milestones: Monday is my next appointment.
Questions/comments: Anyone else getting cramps after eating? I'm not constipated, but not sure what's causing it. Pregnancy book tonight, to look for answers.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving.....
My grandmother sweet potato pie is my absolute favorite.
@T1green Have you tried eating broccoli? That helped my constipation a lot.
Symptoms: Headaches, shortness of breath, and still feeling bloated!
Appointments/Milestones: I have an abdominal US tomorrow! I'm so excited, my last US was at 9 weeks, so I can't wait to see the growth and changes.
Questions/comments: I know it's normal, but I'm still feeling really nervous that something has gone wrong without knowing. I'll feel a lot better after seeing baby tomorrow!
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving...: Mmm, I can't choose just one... So pumpkin pie, pecan pie and pumpkin roll
Symptoms: Hungry nearly all the time. Insomnia. Crazy amount of CM and saliva. Yuck. Hair is still falling out despite stopping the progesterone over a week ago. Acne along my chin/jaw line. Boobs are sore at the end of the day. That about sums it up...
Appointments/Milestones: Later on today I have another appt! If doc can tell what the sex is, we're sealing the envelope and family will announce it to US on thanksgiving
Questions/comments: Not really. The more I read, the more I realize a lot of what I have going on is normal.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Yes, I'm already thinking about Thanksgiving..... I tend to favor savory foods... but will splurge on a piece of pumpkin pie or a bread of some sort.
Symptoms: Cramping and stretching pains in my lower abdomen. Nothing too crazy, just annoying. Occasional nausea, but not bad.
Appointments/Milestones: Had my 12 week appt last week. All was well with baby, 169 HR. But I had to do all baseline blood work and 24 hr urine test since i had Pre-E with my last pregnancy.
Questions/comments: None really, I just wish I could skip being pregnant. I want a third child, but I really don't know if I want to do this again. I just don't take pregnancy well. I feel like I can't catch a break with issues, and I hate being high risk because of weight, family history, etc.
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving dessert? Hmm... not so big on pumpkin. I think pecan pie.
