What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: Uhhh...being super tired? I haven't made any progress on my other goals lol
Rant/rave/symptoms: SUPER tired last night. Some nausea. And I've been getting a little lightheaded when I stand up from my chair at work. I feel ok the rest of the day including workouts, thankfully.
Questions for the Group:
GTKY: If you could write a tourist bureau slogan for your town what would it be? Phoenix...it's a dry heat. Except when it's not, which is like half the summer. (Thanks, monsoons!)
Questions for the Group: 2 Questions- #1 I met with a new Dr in my practice and she told me to take an additional folic acid supplement when my prenatal already has 800 mcg. I read 1000 mcg is the max you should take, why would she want me to take 1200 mcg in total?? #2 I see a chiropractor for my herniated disc (nothing else worked). The same dr said to stop seeing the chiro just in case. I know I should trust my dr but everything else I've read said it's safe. I'm just annoyed and 2nd guessing her.
That seems odd, about the chiro. I see one twice a week and have never heard that. I told my chiro I'm pregnant and they just said that after I start showing (2nd tri, usually), they won't have me lay on my stomach on the table anymore. He was actually excited since I'll probably adjust better since my ligaments will loosen up, ha!
@mrsmommabear I had a late miscarriage with my last little one and it is not uncommon to have HCG and progesterone levels checked. I get mine checked every other day and I enjoy it .. just for peace of mind until my ultrasound.

My prenatal vitamin has 1200 mcg's of folic acid. I think this is more for the baby than for you in early pregnancy, based on my google research. Just chiming in!

What's new with baby (size, development): sweet pea!
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: walked around bru today just fun and just to kind of get an idea of what baby things we need and what we can re use from our first
Rant/rave/symptoms: I am sooo tired. Like sleeping all the time tired! Luckily no morning sickness yet! My dd was 3/8, but my dr wants to go by my LMP instead of my O date, at least for now, so my dd is now 2/28. I am still sticking around with you guys though since I've already been here! Sorry I was MIA for awhile. We had company and have been so busy! I am back though and going to play catch up.
Questions for the Group: Is your DD calculated by your LMP (last menstrual period) or you O date?
GTKY: If you could write a tourist bureau slogan for your town what would it be? For my home town of Erie, PA? The mistake by the lake.. haha...jk..kinda. For the place I live now? Welcome to Snowtown, NY!...I mean watertown...yea, totally meant watertown. (I know those both suck, but that's all I could come up with right now)
This is what will potentially happen to me. Based on my O date I am due March 6th but my lmp puts me at February 29. They usually will adjust your date base on the ultrasound measurements.
What's new with baby (size, development): still a poppy seed
What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: just made my first appointment for July 30th!

Yes! Concentration isn't my forte per se, but it's been really bad this week. I'm so distracted, all the time.
