Re: High Risk Check In (11/26/14)
How are your symptoms? Nothing too severe, well, besides not being able to recall the last time I pooped....
Rants/Raves? Rant - Right now my dog is driving me up the damn wall! I am sitting on the couch trying to relax - he keeps sitting right at my feet and is steady staring at me. He can be such a creep sometimes! Rave - no work until Monday, wa-hoo!!!!
Upcoming appointments? Monday is our 2nd OB appointment. They did an U/S at our 1st appointment a month ago, and while he got a shot of the LO, since I was only 6 weeks there was not much to see. But this appointment I fully expect to be able to see all sorts of movements....cannot.fucking.wait!!!
Any major milestones or major events? We are telling our extended family tomorrow at Thanksgiving! Tomorrow marks the beginning of the whole world knowing....not sure how I feel about that. I am not much of a "small talk" person, so I am dreading answering the same questions day after day. But on the other hand, I do not see how I could ever be sick of talking about the LO!
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? My Moms homemade sausage stuffing! I am a major foodie, and this is literally my favorite food, I look forward to it all year!!! BUT! We are going to DWs family for dinner....so I will be missing out. DW knows how much I love her at my ultimate sacrifice

baby #2 on the way.
12 wks and a day
Symptoms aren't bad- mild nausea and still pretty tired
Rants/raves- still pretty pissed that my mom told everyone I know about the pregnancy against my wishes (seems like I'd get to do that...)
Major milestones- every day I'm pregnant and have lots of platelets is major milestone. FX!
No upcoming appointments other than monthly check up mid December
GTKY- I love turkey-dressing-mashed potatoes-gravy all as one bite so it's my favorite Thanksgiving food lol. I also love green beans and chess pie for dessert. Sadly, my Thanksgiving will consist of jambalaya and pound cake at MIL- not a bad meal but not nearly as delicious!
ETA: Can't spell
My symptoms have gotten better the past couple of weeks, naseua, dizziness have eased off. Still have constipation & by the end of the day my belly is twice the size as when I wake up & very hard!
I just had my first high risk appointment this week & learned a lot about my risks. I am being tested to see if I have the antibody because if I do there is a risk the baby can have ITP which would cause extra concerns during delivery! All of this information is a little overwhelming for a FTM but staying positive!
I love all thanksgiving food but especially enjoy sweet potato casserole & pecan pie!
How are your symptoms? Pretty much gone
Rants/Raves?I tripped over a baby gate and my entire body weight fell on my left thigh, it still hurts some but the ob wanted me to get checked out so I got to see my booger quickly since they couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler.
Upcoming appointments? Just my u/s on the 8th
Any major milestones or major events?nope
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? Stuffing and mashed potatoes unfortunately with gd I had to majorly limit them.
How are your symptoms? Starting to get some headaches and congestion
Rants/Raves? I'm currently stressing a little over Godparents...my mom is pretty opinionated on the subject and it's already come up more than once...
Upcoming appointments? Just had an ob appt this past Wednesday so got a few weeks until our next one.
Any major milestones or major events? All preliminary results from our NT scan and genetic screening looked good, so that was a relief. Also heard the heartbeat for the first time this past Wednesday...we'd seen it a bunch, but hearing it was nice
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? I love all the sides...broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots...
How far along are you? 12w1d
How are your symptoms? good. just a little nauseous here and there.
Rants/Raves? too. much. food.
Upcoming appointments? thursday I go in for a quick check with my OB to review NT results (though the US measurements were great)
Any major milestones or major events? 12 weeks! wooooo!
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? mmmm... mashed potatoes. pecan pie. ugh god so full still.....
How far along are you? 13 weeks today!
How are your symptoms? Better. Most nausea has gone away, still a bit tired and getting that weird metallicy taste in my mouth.
Any major milestones or major events? Well, DH and I just booked our week-long vacation to Phoenix before my sales meeting--so we're excited to do that, see the Grand Canyon and hang out with family.
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? Potato-anything. Sweet, mashed, scalloped, whatever. Love it. I also love me some traditional pumpkin pie.
Sorry I know I'm rambling now it was just a lot to take in one appointment.
High risk due to previous losses (2 this year) and bleeding during pregnancy around 7 weeks.
This is my 5th pregnancy and hopefully 3rd baby.
How far along are you? 13 weeks
How are your symptoms? Absolutely killing me! My daughter sneezed and it made me puke!
Rants/Raves? It's cold!!! (-30) no rave today
Upcoming appointments? Not til after Christmas
Any major milestones or major events? Just happy to be pregnant this far along.
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? Chocolate pie
Hi girls.. late to join the party...been over on the May 15 board because that's when I will deliver, but some of the ladies there aren't so accepting of the fact that my actual due date is begining of June, so I have decided to come back over here!
I am high risk because of mo-di twins. Thought they were mo-mo, but finally found a membrane! This is my 1st pregnancy and I am due June 7th!
How far along are you? I am 13 2/7 today!
How are your symptoms? starting to get better? I think...who knows...every time i feel better the nausea comes back!!
Rants/Raves? Ready to feel better consistently...and get my life figured out...lots of questions of where we are going to be next year?! My husband is a 1st year medical student and I work nights as a nurse, so there is a lot of worry surrounding my job and how we are going to make it work with twins.
Upcoming appointments? Ultrasound and Dr. appoint tomorrow (Wednesday!)
Any major milestones or major events? no new is good news??!
GTKY: What's your favorite dish at a holiday meal? mash potatoes and gravy
Still super exhausted and have added insomnia to make it worse. I was hoping it would get better since I'm off the progesterone but it has not. I'm glad I don't have the awful nausea I had with dd for 5 months. I feel for you ladies.
I have my MFM appt tomorrow (weds). That is the appt where we found out about my mc at 13 weeks so I'm always nervous at this one.
Love the pierogi appetizer. (We are Polish)
Nothing else to report.
Franco Paul born 6/4/15 at 39 weeks. Mila Francesca born 10/19/13 at 37 weeks. Both born via C-Section after 6 years of fertility treatments, disappointments and losses. Love them!!
