GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy?
Re: Wednesday ticker change!
Symptoms: I felt better yesterday and feel pretty good this am but mainly fatigue, mild constipation, queasiness.
Rants/Raves:No morning sickness still, food aversions aren't really that bad. Seems my symptoms are a little more pronouced this pregnancy.
Appointments: My first appt is tomorrow, So excited and nervous really! All the What Ifs are getting to me already.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? I actually have a blog post ready to go live after the appt tomorrow with all of our announcement photos. The majority of our family already know so its just announcing it to extended family and friends and this point.
Symptoms: fatigue!!!! A little nausea but really not that bad. Food a versions and not being able to eat too much. Sore boobs!
Rants/Raves: I've had enough of being so tired!!! Lol. I just want to not feel so tired ALL the time! Also, I am over working night shift! Can't wait to go to days!!!
Appointments: had my first u/s on 6/29 at my GYN'S office. My first OB appt. is on 7/14. I can't wait!
GTKY: when and how are we planning on announcing the pregnancy: So our close family and a couple of our friends already know. We plan on announcing to the rest of our extended family and friends around 13 weeks or so. Still trying to figure out how though.
Symptoms: I am having nausea, definitely worse in the morning. Tender breasts that are also worse in the morning. Some mild headaches and sensitivity to some smells.
Rants/Raves: I am so exhausted and sick of school. I'm a full time student, graduating in December with my Bachelor's. However, school is really kicking my butt right now with this pregnancy. My perinatologist also had an hour long discussion with me about how to eat correctly when you have diabetes. I assured her that I knew what I was doing since I was diagnosed 14 years ago and my bloodsugars are awesome.
Appointments: I had my first OBGYN appointment on June 23. Baby measured 5w6d and had a heart rate of 111bpm. I had an appointment with my perinatologist on July 7 and baby measured exactly as he/she should have at 7w6d and had a healthy heart rate of 175bpm. My next appointment is July 22!
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? I have already announced mine! I announced to my in-laws first at 5w4d with baby clothing. I announced to my mom at 6w3d with baby shoes. And we told facebook at 6w3d with a picture my husband put together!
Symptoms: Major fatigue, mild nausea and extreme heartburn.
Rants/Raves: I'm so exhausted and can't even hardly keep up with my toddler. I can't wait for my husband to get home so I can nap and it's only 7am.
Appointments: Next Tuesday will be our first appointment, finally!! Can't wait to make sure everything is progressing like it should and hopefully ease my mind a bit.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? We plan on telling family after our appointment next Tuesday and probably announce to extended family and friends around 12 weeks or so, maybe a little after.
Symptoms: Oh the boobs. So hungry then soooo not. Had some bleeding/spotting this week but all seems well. And constipation!
Rants/Raves: The worry and fear are just miserable. I am actually looking forward to going back to school so that I have more to fill my mind with than just constant worry!
Appointments: I've had two ultrasounds (one scheduled, one emergency). Heart rate went from 125 last Thursday to 161 yesterday! Woohoo! We go back next Friday.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? Many family and friends already know. We have been telling people at gatherings when we see them. All of these people know about our previous losses so we were happy to share in our continuing journey. We are going to Mexico in a few weeks with extended family. We will tell them then and likely do some sort of announcement picture on the beach to make it super public after the first trimester is done.
Weeks/Fruit: 11 weeks, lime. This actually makes my due date in late January but when I changed the date on the app, it just kept me in the February moms group!
Symptoms: I've been feeling sick on and off throughout the day. However, I feel better when I'm up and doing thing a as long as I don't push it too hard!
Rants/Raves: I'm counting down the days til my 2nd trimester and hoping this nausea goes away!
Appointments: I have an appointment today! Not sure what they'll do since I had my US two weeks ago!
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? I've already told all of my close family and friends. Telling my job this fall when school starts back up! I teach special education preschool in ohio!
Symptoms: I'm always tired. Other than that just some nausea and a love/hate relationship with food.
Rants/Raves:I'm working from home today and tomorrow. A welcome break from the awfulness of sitting in my cube!
Appointments: I have my first appointment today! I'm so excited and nervous.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy?
Symptoms: lots of nausea but I'm finally feeling functional again. The vomiting has almost stopped this past week and for that I'm so thankful. I also have lots of fatigue and food aversions. I mostly eat cereal, yogurt, and apples. Oh! I've started getting ance and pretty irritable. Those two symptoms are completely opposite of what I had with my daughter so those are new lol
Rants/Raves: I have a huge aversion to coffee. As a die hard coffee drinker this is a new and strange thing for me. However, I'm starting to love my morning cup of tea so much, I might not go back lol
Appointments: my first midwife appointment is on Monday!!! With my daughter I did the whole OB, hospital birth route so this is all new to me. I'm so excited about making this choice this time around!
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy?
After my appointment. Only a few people know right now. Thankfully I haven't seen anyone because when people see me they figure out I'm pregnant. I have a pretty obvious blump right now lol. Im not sure how I'm going to announce yet lol
Symptoms: Nausea/Gagging mainly, its slowing down some it seems.
Rants/Raves: We are leaving for the beach for 7 days on Saturday, I dont want to go. I LOVE the beach but with DS(3) and my step son (8) who argue all the time and me being sick I am dreading it and I hate that, I want to enjoy this so I need an attitude change ASAP.
Appointments:I've had several due to pain low progesterone, I have had 3 U/S's already but my main appointment was last week at 9w1d and baby looked great with a HB of 163, go back the end of July.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? I announced really early, after the scare of my progesterone being low and my ovary hurting I was so blessed to see a HB at a little over 6w I couldn't keep it to myself.
Symptoms: insomnia, nausea, and generally feeling like crap. Super sensitive nose again.
Rants/raves: our flight this morning was delayed.... Only 45 minutes, but if I had known that before we got to the airport I could have slept another 45 minutes. We were all up at 4
Appointments: had my first real appointment on Monday. Ultraspund was great, heartbeat was 176 or so. Tech said nice and steady.
Gtky: told immediate family when we first found out. Will tell extended family this week when we see them - I bought ds a big brother shirt he will wear. Non family will learn when they ask or when I announce on Facebook at 2nd tri.
Symptoms: Tired, cranky, alternating constipation and diarrhea, nausea, dizziness on standing
Rants/Raves: I am sick of being so tired and irritable, it is not me at all. And by the end of the day I have no motivation or ambition to study for my test and only have 2 more chances to pass it, one of which is already scheduled for 7/31. If I don't pass that one I need to pass it by 10/31 (it can only be taken once a quarter) or I'm totally screwed and have wasted 2 years of my life, thousands of dollars and countless hours studying.
Appointments: Had the second U/S and appointment last Monday, was measuring a day behind but she kept my due date, HR was 170. Next appointment is the NT scan and a whole bunch of other fun poking and prodding on 7/28.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? We have told my dad, his parents and sister, 2 of my closest girl friends and 4 ladies from work know, one of which is my boss. I'm still trying to get the courage to call my mom to tell her, we haven't spoken in a year and a half on the phone and only a handful of quick FB messages in that time. I will probably start telling more friends as I see them and then MAYBE a FB announcement after the appointment on the 28th. I'm still undecided and hubby wouldn't care if no one knew ever and suddenly a baby was just with us all the time.
Symptoms: I really can't complain because I'm not throwing up, but I'm having a hard time finding food I want to eat. Then after eating I just feel not great, kind of icky.
I continue to feel a fair amount of pressure down there; I contribute that to having two.
Rants-I've continued to have brown gunky spotting since having my SCH 2.5 weeks ago. Please stop brown gunk! I want to put on a swimming suit and go to the pool with my son!
Raves/appointments: I had a great appointment today with my regular ob/gyn (first normal appt since being released from my fertility doctor). I got another ultrasound. Both babies look great and they showed me their little features with the 3D ultrasound- so neat! My doctor was so nice and said it was up to me when I wanted to come back (in 1,2,3 or 4 weeks), knowing I was still nervous about this pregnancy after multiple losses.
Symptoms: threw up for the first time yesterday but today I feel really good. So who knows! Hard to eat a full sized meal though. Unisom is the BEST.
Rants/Raves: I'm excited. I found out I have three friends from HS due jan & march so it's nice to have friends to chat with!
Appointments: MONDAY halllleelujaaahhh
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? After the appointment on Monday. We have a cute picture of our golf bags with a little bag in between. Suuuhhhh cuuuuute lol
Symptoms: Nausea here and there but not hindering my ability to do things, luckily. Sore boobs that are getting bigger (fist pump).
Rants/Raves: All I want is fruit, fruit, and more fruit. I have to remind myself that too much fruit = added sugar. My sweet victory: last week we were with friends and family for 5 days bouncing from concert to cookout to beach parties. I don't mean to toot my own horn but I for sure fooled everyone by 'having drinks'. I was definitely unsure how we would pull it off, but it was kind of exciting to have this secret between my husband and I.
Appointments: Had a dating U/S Monday. Everything looked good and seeing the heart fluttering away was amazing. HR was 134.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? We told my in-laws after Monday's apt by visiting them at their new vacation condo. We handed them a house warming gift which was a book called Memories for My Grandchild. Such a special moment. We'll tell my family this weekend in the same way (the book is cute...found it on Amazon). Some close friends know but we'll wait to tell the rest of the world until 12+ weeks or so.
Symptoms: GAS, sore boobs, moodiness, craving hot peppers
Rants/Raves: I love that I'm not experiencing morning sickness, but I'd just like some assurance that I'm still pregnant. Also, my 1st prenatal appointment and US is not until Monday! WTF is up with that?!
Appointments: First prenatal/US is Monday
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy?--Well, I told my husband right away. The test said 2-3 (meaning weeks since ovulation), and he asked, "Does that mean 2-3 babies?!" Hehe. I told my sister. I told my mom, who told my dad. We'll tell the in-laws Monday if the US looks good. Then we'll mail an announcement at 12 weeks. I have a few ideas. They all involve my dog, my husband, and I playing poker, and me saying, "Looks like I have a full house!" We'll probably repost it on social media halfway through.
Symptoms: Sore boobs, some nausea but usually it's bearable, loss of appetite and lots of food aversions.
Rants/Raves: My sweet husband has let me cook anything I want for dinner, no complaints, even if that means macaroni and cheese three nights in a row (tonight I'm going to mix it up with white cheddar). He's offered to cook dinner, but of course I can't possibly trust him to not accidentally slip something that currently disgusts me in the mix.
Appointments: My first appointment isn't till next Monday, when I'll be almost 9 weeks. It feels like an eternity.
GTKY: When and how do you plan on announcing this pregnancy? I've told three girlfriends, two of whom have small children (this is my first) and I can go to for advice, and one who pretty much just guessed. Other than that, just DH knows. I think if things go well after the appointment, I will announce to my parents and brother / sister-in-law the following weekend at my birthday dinner. They will know something is up if I don't drink on my birthday anyway, lol. As far as the general public / facebook / etc? Probably not till I start showing, whatever week that might be. Unless my mom lets it slip before then. Which is likely.
