Symptoms: Fatigue..although yesterday was the first day in a long time I didn't need to take a nap immediately after work, so that was nice. Also, TMI, but the constipation is a killer. I think I'm going to start drinking prune juice :-/ I've also started to notice veins appearing all over my body! Particularly weird looking on my stomach..
Questions/Rants/Raves: Today I'm going to get the Harmony NIPT blood work done! I am nervous and excited for the results! When I'm at the OB's office I really want to ask her to do another U/S just to check on things, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.
GTKY - what 'forbidden' food/drink/hobby/etc do you miss most while being pregnant?: WINE. I used to love coffee, but now it makes me nauseous..however, I have not lost my desire to drink wine
Symptoms: tired, heartburn some light nausea and gassy
Questions/Rants/Raves:should I ask for Betas? I just had a MC a on the ago so now I'm kinda nervous. What are the pros and cons of getting betas done. A friend mentioned they just made her more stressed.
GTKY - what 'forbidden' food/drink/hobby/etc do you miss most while being pregnant?: Italian sandwiches. Yummmm. Deli sandwiches in general too!! Yeah also wine and beer. The other night I would have killed to get a beer.
Symptoms: fatigue, morning sickness (all day) and I have not pooped in what feels like an eternity despite my best efforts.
Questions/Rants/Raves: I still have to wait three more weeks before I even go in to see my doctor and even then I won't get to see LO via ultrasound until the anatomy scan somewhere around week 20
GTKY - what 'forbidden' food/drink/hobby/etc do you miss most while being pregnant?: I have not come across anything that I miss at this point because nothing really even sounds good. I really missed having Jimmy John's sandwiches the first time around.
Symptoms: The nausea and vomiting have come back full force, I had a good week and half where I thought I was done with m/s, guess I was wrong. I've never been so tired either, doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get it isn't enough.
Questions/Rants/Raves: For those dealing with constipation, kiwis work wonders!! Just tried it myself, took about a day to get going but it was awesome when it finally did!
GTKY - what 'forbidden' food/drink/hobby/etc do you miss most while being pregnant?: There isn't anything yet, I was never a coffee drinker or drank much alcohol so things pretty much haven't changed for me yet.
Week: 8 (Yay, thought I was 7! Just had US on 9/1 and saw HB of 164, everything looks great!)
Symptoms: All day nausea with hardly any relief except when I'm sleeping. I'm also very tired and worn down, not much energy at all. And last but not least, very constipated - got a stool softener today so FX for regularity soon.
Questions/Rants/Raves: Anyone taking the prenatal gummies? If so, do you also take an iron supplement since they don't have iron? I'm having a had time keeping my prenatal down so I'm switching to gummies today.
GTKY - what 'forbidden' food/drink/hobby/etc do you miss most while being pregnant?: Beer (Blue Moon) and wine! Hubby has cut back some, but every time he has a drink I want one too!
Symptoms: insane exhaustion, bloating, luckily diclegis has taken away the nasuea/vomiting
Questions/Rants/Raves: we are announcing publicly this weekend at my bday party. A little earlier than I originally wanted to announce, but I'm really excited for it to not be a secret anymore. I've missed family functions and work a few times due to being sick, and Ive gained 5 pounds in top of the bloat, so its getting hard to hide it.
GTKY: Right now I don't miss anything, because nothing sounds good to me at all...AT ALL! So I guess I should say that I miss the ability to enjoy all foods and drinks! Sigh....
Symptoms ~ BLOAT. Exhaustion. Nauseous but hungry. Moody. Sore breasts.
Rants~ I just want to hear a heartbeat to know this is not all a dream! Can't wait until Sept 17! Wish we were having an ultrasound the same day. We might do genetically testing just to insure we get an earlier chance to have an ultrasound.
Symptoms: tired and nauseous; not much weight gain but my belly looks fuller from the breads I've been eating to settle my stomach
Rants: nothing really. Not sure how long I can hide this from work. I teach Pilates so I'm always in fitted clothing and I just look a little soft around the middle. I also haven't been working out on my own as much because I'm so tired.
GTKY: I don't miss anything yet. So far life is pretty normal
Symptoms: Nausea mostly in the evenings, hunger but not wanting any available option, big time bloating, and insomnia!
Questions/Rants/Raves: Time is moving so slowly for me! I'm dying to get a peek at my LO and know if everything is okay. This is my third baby but I feel really anxious this time around.
Symptoms: Sensitive to smells, sore breast (DDD getting fuller) with mid back pain, nausea ( comes and goes) heart burn (all the time I'm not nauseated), & insomnia.
Questions/Rants/Raves: 2nd pregnancy after mc so everything is scary. Just want to hear LO heartbeat again and know it's all ok.
GTKY - Right now missing coffee, tea & meat. Meat turn my stomach now, baby just wants veggies.
