Grad Check-In

Hello ladies! What's new this week in your world? QOTW: Did you have to buy bigger shoes while pregnant? I saw this on a post somewhere and I am shocked, but intrigued.

jessimi06 · January 2015

Hello ladies!

I'm hoping all is well with you guys and I always have my FX for my IF/3T ladies!

Nothing really new over here- I'm 20w4d with the twins and still on home bed rest. I'm starting to feel them move a lot more and I love it!

Qotw- my feet are still the same size, although there's still 14 weeks for them to grow. My MIL's feet grew a size for each of her pregnancies. She started at a size 9, and finished(and still is) a size 12.

Hello! Almost 27 weeks. Counting down to our OB appointment next Friday, when we get to see our little one again. DH was finally able to see my stomach move last night when she kicked - the look on his face was priceless.

QOTW: I needed to buy new boots a few months ago and made sure to get them all one size bigger. I'm glad I did b/c they are a bit tighter at the end of the day. The few times I've worn flats, it's just too unbearable as the day goes on, so I'll need to get new sandals as it warms up. I don't think it's so much that my feet are bigger b/c I'm good in the morning...but then I swell up.

Hey ladies!

I am 13w1d. We had an OB visit yesterday and got to hear a beautiful heart beat for the first time.

QOTW: I have not experiences this yet, but I am still early in my pregnancy.

AMShark · January 2015

Hello ladies. I think of everyone on the IF board and hope for an end to your struggles soon.

I'm 27w2d today. That's 3 weeks of home bed rest and 4 weeks of hospital bed rest down, unknown # of hospital bed rest to go until the LOs appear. I'm hoping to make it to 30w and another round of steroids, and would really, really like to make 34w.

Not much new here. I'm very thankful to have made it 7 weeks since PPROM - and 3 weeks past v-day! It seems more and more real that I will be taking these babies home with me some day.

QOTW: I started wearing size 10 shoes when I was in 6th grade, and becoming a marathon runner contributed to me moving up to a size 11 in the past 4 years. I really hope they don't get any bigger. Buying size 11s is enough of a challenge. For all I know, they've already grown. (I've been on bed rest for so long, I haven't put on shoes in weeks - you should see my toenails - not pretty).

@AMShark‌ can't stop thinking about your toenails...

My girls were born this past Monday at 38 weeks. It was a vaginal planned birth turned c-section.

Baby A (right)
Claire Elizabeth born at 12:15 am on 01/26/15 weight 5 pounds 14oz 19 1/4 length

Baby B (left)
Isla Irene born at 12:17 am on 01/26/15 weight 6 pounds 6 oz 19 3/4 length.

Both girls had great apgar scores 9/9.

So worth the wait.

Justone13 · January 2015

Hi all! I'm 10w1d. Had my first obgyn appt yesterday. All was well and we were able to see our little snowflake. I go for my nt scan in two weeks. I can't wait to see s/he again.

ekc0630 · January 2015

Hey All, I still pray for you all often. LO is now 3 months old. I can not believe how quickly time flies! We had his baptism on the 19th and right after that he got his first cold. He's a trooper though

He is laughing and smiling a lot now. I still can't believe he's here. 8 years in the making.

vpine · January 2015

35 wks. Had ultrasound on Thurs, one girl 4 lbs 15 oz, the other 5 lbs, 5 oz so I am thrilled. I still can't believe I've made it this far, only got good pics of one baby since the other's head is way down there now. Feeling miserable as usual. Did buy new shoes, 2 sizes up to be exact at 34 wks, feet got swollen.

tarala · February 2015

Hi ladies! My IVF miracle, Ella Rose, was born January 17th at 39 weeks. I had a scheduled C-section due to her being breech for months. We are still in awe that our one embryo that made it to blast actually become our baby girl!

QOTW: no my feet did not change at all

Please know that I am thinking of all you ladies!

tweetyknicks · February 2015

6w2d here. morning sickness and fatigue are kicking my ass. I'll feel like it's more justified after my u/s on Thursday.

CML11 · February 2015

I am currently on bed rest due to a spotting scare, I am 6 weeks/2 days today. I was supposed to have my first U/S on 2/9, but in light of recent events they moved it up to tomorrow. Fx and prayers everything gets better and the U/S gives us good news.

tweetyknicks · February 2015

@cml11 I had a tiny bit of red spotting yesterday (brown after a couple of hours, then gone today). I figure they'd just tell me to take it easy and wait for my u/s on Thursday morning, so that's what I'm doing. I think my assigned nurse is not in today because she did not reply to my email. What did your office say?

ronniesgirl1981 · February 2015

Prayers coming @CML11‌

Carol77B · February 2015

Sending my thoughts and prayers your way @CML11 and @tweetyknicks. I'm sorry you're both dealing with spotting.

Sorry about that. I'm just hoping my belly grows big enough that I can't see them. Then they'll stop bothering me too. :P

katers79 · February 2015

11 wks with b/g twins! Generally feeling good-- had 2 bleeding scares a few wks back, but (knock on wood) all has been good since. Super tired with occ nausea, but no puking. I'm mostly just hungry! I go from zero to hangry in 0.2 seconds. One more week until we fill in the world on the babies! Can't wait to announce.

Qotw- shoes are still fitting. They're about the only things...

Thinking about you ladies (and lurking) often! Hoping to see some new faces jump over to PAIF soon!

CML11 · February 2015

Thank you for the prayers! It's possible that it's from us trying sex this past weekend, or it's just that I've been doing to much. No tears or anything that looks abnormal, everything looks great actually. We got to see not just one little HB but TWO!
@tweetyknicks‌ I hope everything turns out just fine for you too. Sending prayers your way. Btw, the fact that it eventually went to brown is a good thing, from what my office says. If it increased, then it would be more concerning.

Carol77B · February 2015

Wow! That's amazing news @CML11! FX that you have no more spotting in the future with your TWO!!!

CML11 · February 2015

Thank you @Carol77B‌! It took around 6 weeks to convince him it was ok and this spotting happens! He's convinced it's his fault. No more sexy time for me! Lol

TLooney17 · February 2015

Hi everyone! I think of all of you often. I am 11 weeks tomorrow. We graduated from our RE on Monday, and we got to see our little baby wiggling around during the u/s. So cool! We have our first regular Ob appointment next Monday. I am nauseous all of the time, super tired, and I have the worst acne ever but I am just thrilled to have this little baby in me.

QOTW: While pregnant with DS, I pretty much wore sandals/ flip flops and afterward I was able to wear my regular shoes. So I don't think my feet got bigger, but they were definitely swollen though.

tweetyknicks · February 2015

@cml11 Everything looked fine on u/s today. We also saw two little flickers! 117bpm and 132bpm :-D

Carol77B · February 2015

tweetyknicks! Super congrats and I'm so glad that the spotting seems to have been nothing.

Congrats! You grew great big beautiful girls!!
P.S. My feet never grew during pregnancy and with my now 18 month old I'm still in the same size, maybe a little tight around the arch and width of my foot but I haven't lost the baby weight so I expect that is probably why. 4'11" and I gained 36 lbs with a 37- weeker weighing 7 lbs 4 oz.
