GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother?
Re: Weekend Ticker Change 10/24 & 10/25
Upcoming Appointments: first week of November I can have blood drawn for the Verifi test and OB appt. Nov. 19
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I can't believe I haven't had any M/S. NOT complaining though.
Questions for the group: nothing at the moment
Upcoming Appointments: October 28th, a slow 3 days crawl to the NT scan. Haven't seen my baby in 6 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: cramping and peeing a ton!
Questions for the group: none
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? Everything :-SS
Upcoming Appointments: I still have a week and a half before my next appt
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My ms seems to be more intermittent now. Sometimes I feel fine and then it comes out of nowhere. This is my second and my bump is starting to grow just a little. Digging out my maternity clothes this week!
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? My biggest fear is that my PPD will come back worse than it was with my first. I haven't thought about much else yet but that terrifies me.
Upcoming Appointments: 11/24
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I think the nausea is finally starting to subside! Happy dance! On the other end of things one of my labs came back with bacteria. Apparently I have a UTI. Which is odd bc I don't have any of the symptoms really. But the midwife said that wasn't uncommon. So antibiotics are my friend for the next week. Yay.
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? That I'm going to complete suck at it. I feel like sometimes I can barely take care of myself and I don't know what I'm doing. DH helps with that though and says I'll be an amazing mom so that always makes me feel better.
Upcoming Appointments: I'm moving and so I had to find a new doctor, so I have to start the process all over again. Have my first appointment to meet the nurse Thursday and then will schedule one with doctor after that. I was suppose to see baby on Tuesday for my first US with the doctor I was first with, but I move tomorrow so I'm really bummed
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: nausea is slowly going away, but boy are these headaches starting to kick in!!! I'm 12 weeks and 2 days, I already feel huge, surprised that my bump is coming in so quickly. Hot flashes, uncomfortable sleeping already, waking up three times through the night to go to the bathroom
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? Not really nervous about much, yet. I guess at the moment you could say I'm just worried about having a healthy and perfect baby, I have bad anxiety so it's always in the back of my mind that the worst things could happen.
Upcoming Appointments: Nov. 3
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: No bump yet, but feeling bigger than I'd like!
Questions for the group:
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? Not knowing what to do and what's "normal" for a newborn. I don't want to worry myself sick 24/7.
Upcoming Appointments: November 16th
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Feeling pretty fat lately, but I know it's just bloat. I noticed that my breast tenderness subsided today.
Questions for the group: None so far that haven't been answered previously.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? I'm worried about how a baby will affect the relationship with my husband even though we're very excited about having our first child. I'm also worried that something will happen during my pregnancy that'll make me lose the baby. I've seen it happen to healthy women...I know I would be devastated if it happened to me. That's just kind of where my focus is today, I'm sure something else will be on my mind tomorrow!
Upcoming Appointments: November 9th
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: still some lingering tiredness. My bowel movements haven't been the most regular or normal, but I'm going to switch to prenatals without iron and see if that helps.
Questions for the group: can't think of any
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother?
Probably getting overwhelmed and depressed
Upcoming Appointments: Next Monday for NT scan. Praying LO is still there and HB is strong
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: All my symptoms are gone, except for (TMI) discharge. Not worried though as I know its normal around now for symptoms to fade.
Questions for the group: When is everyone starting their registry?
Upcoming Appointments: Just had one on Friday, my next doctor's appointment isn't until the end of November.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Knock on wood, my nausea has been much better. Not 100% gone, and still have lots of food aversions, but I'll take it! I have also been on some antibiotics for a UTI that were giving me diarrhea, so I'm glad to be off those.
Questions for the group:
Upcoming Appointments: 11/2 for NT test, had an unplanned appt at 9 weeks for a subchorionic bleed, saw my baby and all was good!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just got back from work travel to Hawaii. I am less able to deal with jet lag than I used to be. Luckily my ms is pretty much gone, but I realized that my boobs don't deally fit into any of my work dresses anymore!
Questions for the group: What are you buying vs. trying to get from friends and family? We just scored a beautiful hand me down crib! I'll take almost anything furniture wise, but want to buy my own brand new stroller since I live in a city, don't drive and have had my eyes on a fave for a long time now.
GTKY: What is your biggest fear as a new mother? Keeping the child alive. The wobbly head portion of life really freaks me out and I don't really know any babies that so I can't get comfortable early.
Upcoming Appointments: November 5.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: This pregnancy has been very easy, symptom wise. I feel very lucky, and I'm very thankful it hasn't been like #4s pregnancy. That was the worst.
Upcoming apts: November 2nd!
Rants/raves/symptoms: nausea overall is better but this first trimester has kicked my a*%. Just hoping for relief soon.
GTKY: lots of fears but ppd is definitely a concern.
Upcoming Appointments: Nov 2nd I go in for another US (maybe? Actually, I have no idea. I have a bad case of CRS) and then another appt with the MFM specialist on Nov 30th.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: The weird dreams and insomnia are getting old. I need to be well rested, especially since MH has a horrible man-cold so I have to take care of him, plus a 2 yr old, plus the house, plus work is getting to be a little too crazy for my liking (is it a full moon? Because I feel like it is a full moon)
Questions for the group: Is there a pause button on all of this? Seriously, it is like everything is hitting me at once and I would really like to just stop for a minute so I can get my brain around the whole thing.
