Hi ladies! So to continue our discussion from last week about combining ticker changes with other days: I looked for Wednesday's last week, and I'm not sure they even do one. I asked Monday and a couple of people were cool with it, but I'm not sure what the general consensus was. So I guess we wait it out for now and hope more people eventually join ours? :)

    Hi! First time here... Sorry I'm slow ☺️

    Peach - 13 weeks.

    OB check up next Wednesday.

    Getting into the headache symptoms... Sucks but hopefully when the air pressure changes, it will not be layered on pregnancy headaches!

    Questions - due to my risk, they want me to deliver between 37-39 weeks... Please tell me there are other ways to induce besides pitocin?

    @AWieburg Welcome! Glad to have another Tuesday gal! I was induced at 39 weeks due to risk factors, and I did not need pitocin. They used a suppository of some kind (can't remember what it was called) to soften the cervix. That started labor for me, and later they broke my water to speed up the process. The doctor told me that it's hit or miss with inductions like mine and maybe half the time pitocin is necessary. Fx for you! There may be other options, too, but I'm not sure.

    @Bluejay3030 thanks so much! I'll just have to
    Hope I'm in the 50% that doesn't (watched the business of having a baby documentary and freaked me out!!).

    Glad to know there is at least one way... I Always forget to ask the doctor bc I am giddy at watching the Ultrasound. ☺️

    Ok I'll try to be more regular on here

    I just filled out the whole thing and when I posed most of it was gone WTH!?!

    So the quick version:

    Wk 13

    App's first ultrasound last week, it was amazing! I think it made things more real for my husband he was so glad to be there.

    Rant/etc my first trimester symptoms were pretty severe, and work is been less understanding about my decreased productivity -stressful!

    GTKY my guilty pleasure used to be chocolate but I haven't wanted any since being pregnant. I need to find something to do indulge in lol

    Week/Fruit: 13/Peach

    Upcoming Appointments: Finally getting in to my family doc on Thursday to get my OB referral.

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Having headaches and dizzy spells but otherwise I feel pretty good!

    Questions for the group: None really....yet!

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure? I don't have many at the moment. Time alone is probably mine though. I have a five year old and just moved back in with my parents while my DH is deployed, so there's not a lot of privacy....but the help will be appreciated once the baby arrives I think.

    Ok, I'll play along. I've been reading boards but avoid posting because I don't spend a lot of time on here.

    Week/Fruit: 15/navel orange

    Upcoming Appointments: check-up on Thursday

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms: really no symptoms for the past week so the break is nice. Maybe occasional mild cramping or a headache, but that's all.

    Questions for the group: none really yet.

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure?
    That's difficult because things I would normally indulge in get eaten or used by my husband's mother or grandmother (we are living with them while we wait to move in our new house). Once we move this weekend I may actually have the freedom to have a guilty pleasure.

    Upcoming Appointments: one tomorrow with OB (Doppler...), and having an elective one on Thursday to see baby (haven't seen him/her since 8 weeks!!!) and hopefully confirm he/she is healthy and maybe even find out the sex.

    Rants/Raves/Symptoms: none really - just having terrible headaches. Oh and I get annoyed SO fast. "Did that person just look at me the wrong way?? I WILL CUT YOU!". So that's great :)

    Questions for the group: Why doesn't anyone like us enough to let us take over their ticker board?! (Insert sarcasm)
