Re: Monday check-in
How are you feeling? Okay at the moment but had somewhere light pink spotting. We did have sex last night so I am praying that's why since I don't any cramps.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: nothing at the moment just feeling worried.
Questions? Anyone else had pink spotting the morning after having sex?
How are you feeling? Pukey
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just trying to be patient
Questions?
How are you feeling? very nauseous. I dry-heaved when I opened the fridge to make DH's lunch this morning... guess who will be eating subway for the next couple of days
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've read that a lot of women on the forum are going through some scary times so just sending prayers to those who need it.
Questions? My boobs feel less sore since morning sickness (well all day sickness) kicked in. Anyone else have less sore boobs now that the weeks are progressing??
How are you feeling? exhausted from Thanksgiving, plus DH was out of town so I was solo parenting.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant: DH was out of town from Wed-Sun (night!... late for Santa/tree lighting of course!) and leaves again today. I'm exhausted.
Questions? @LindsayLeigh1989 not me, I think it's ok if it's not bright red. There's a lot of blood down there now.
5 weeks 5 days
How are you feeling?
Tired and hungry but pukey
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I have my first OB this week.
How are you feeling? Trying to get hungry, can only handle junk food and red meat. I had a steak with some rice and beans last night,was the first real meal in a while. Forge the veggies, I gag when I see them.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Sending all the positive vibes to the bumpies going through rough times. I have my OB blood draw/family history appt tomorrow.
How are you feeling? Okay this morning. My boobs are a little tender, and I'm starving, but that's it.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We're telling two friends of ours that have been trying for a long time tonight, and I'm super nervous. I didn't want to tell her this early, but I know she's going to ask, and I don't want to lie to her. She'll be happy for us, but I know it hurts her too. I keep wishing that when I tell her, she'll tell me she is too, but I don't think that's the case.
Questions? None,
How are you feeling? NERVOUS. My doctor scheduled me a 6 week ultrasound since I had a loss in September and it's scheduled for this morning. My last pregnancy was my first so I've never had a positive ultrasound which I think is why I'm extra scared. Breathe in, breathe out....
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: No rant or rave. Sending positive vibes to you all though!
Questions? Nada
9w0d
How are you feeling?
Slightly better, the nausea generally better until I smell something that sets me off. DH's breath in the morning is constantly making me gag. As are my prenatal vitamins, making it difficult to get my nutrients! (I'm even doing the gummies right now to try to make it easier)
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Told close family this weekend about my pregnancy. My mother who already knew got a bit too excited and I felt like I was being paraded like a pony. Got pretty upset when she kept insisting I wear this shirt to announce it. Then she apologized and said she knows I'm just moody...:/ I know she's just excited, but it's my pregnancy and it made me feel like how I wanted to do things was being completely ignored.
How far along are you? 9w 4d
How are you feeling? Mildly nauseated and so damn fat.
Rants/Raves/Positive vibes: Rave is that I bought maternity jeans at target. They're the tits! Rant is if one more person says it's too early to be showing and I'm probably just bloated I'm going to throat punch them. I'm still down 2lbs but haven't dropped any more so that's good. Just wondering why so plump when I'm gaining literally 0 weight
How are you feeling? Awful, awful awful. Leaving work at half day mark (1.5 hours) to sleep it off. So nauseous.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: @tennisbabymama good luck at your u/s today!! Prayers for a good strong heartbeat!
Questions?
@Lindsayleigh1989 spotting is normal. If it becomes thicker or more red, I would contact your dr.
@noelietrex I don't think almost 10 wks is necessarily too early to show. Me being pretty thin, I showed at 10 wks with DD. Very small bump, but noticeably not bloat.

Postive vibes; Good luck to everyone with appointments this week, happy thoughts for everyone experiencing scares, and peace and healing for the ones dealing with loss.
Edited because dammit I can't spell anything right this morning.
Oh no sorry you are having a rough morning!
How far along are you? 6+1
How are you feeling? Horrific. Tried to work this morning, but I haven't been able to keep anything down in about 24 hours, so the nurse at my doctors office sent me home with a prescription of diclegis to start immediately. I'm really hoping it helps because I need to feel better.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm worried about my time off from work and how it will eventually impact my maternity leave. Blah
Questions? Anyone with experience with diclegis? What can I expect?

How are you feeling? Nausea hits me off and on. I have developed an aversion to coffee, but I am so caffeine sensitive that I can't give it up cold turkey without terrible headaches, so I am forcing myself to drink just enough to prevent the headache and slowly wean myself off. I miss loving coffee
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH finally seems to be sympathetic to how tired and yucky I have been feeling. Since he works 3rd shift, it leaves me alone with the kids most of the time for morning and bed time, and it's rough.
Questions? none
Good Luck to all the ladies that have appointments this week!
How are you feeling? Hungry but that's just because I don't have any food in my house to bring to work.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I got all my Christmas decorating, minus the outside, done this weekend! I was so proud of myself for getting motivated to do it. If only I had the same motivation to do laundry..
@tennisbabymama good luck at your appointment! Hopefully everything looks fabulous!
Also hope all those ladies experiencing nausea and MS have some relief.
Questions? Nada
How far along are you? 8+5
How are you feeling? good
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave: I have another appointment tomorrow. I cannot wait to see my little bean again! Rant: I think its a combination of this weekend/bloat/not working out because I have been too tired but I had to unbutton my pants at work this morning. Good thing I sit down a lot. Looks like I'll be looking into maternity pants already.
Questions? Does anyone else's hands go numb or get that fall sleep feeling? Mine has. I am hoping I can remember to ask my doctor about it tomorrow.
My back feels like I am 9 months pregnant and I can't handle it. I feel fine when I am standing but any other position hurts like mad. Also add the heartburn and hives. My hives have gotten worse.
No rants or raves
No questions, just looking forward to my ultrasound next Monday!
How are you feeling? Still pretty normal
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have nothing off the top of my head. ..
Questions? None
How are you feeling? Nipples are super sensitive today! Nausea isn't too bad, other than when I first woke up and was hungry. I am really, REALLY tired today, though.
Rants: Not really. Trying to keep myself occupied until my appointment in 2 weeks...the waiting is driving me crazy!
Raves: I'm just really thankful for a great Thanksgiving, great family, and this little one.
Positive vibes: Sending out so much love and prayers to those suffering through scares and losses.
Questions: nope!
@BeachTigress I had the numb hand thing for about a week. Only my right, about 10 minutes after I woke up each morning. It seems to be fine now!
How are you feeling? Ok. Sore boobs, my nipples feel like they're on fire, sore lower back.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just made my first OB appt today. I told the woman on the phone I wanted to skip the midwife intake appt because after my loss, my OB told me she'd see me around 8 weeks for reassurance, so I'm going directly to her, which makes me feel better... but also a little worried because I'm gonna be neurotic if she can't pick up the heartbeat then and we can't get an ultrasound right away.
Questions?

How are you feeling? Extremely tired. Nauseous.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I had forgotten just how tired I get at this stage
Questions? Nope!
How are you feeling? So terrible. Last week, my lovely son decided to share his bug with me and we were both sick all week. Now, on top of the MS bullshit, I have a cough and a plugged left ear. Also, puking has started after brushing my teeth.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I took a break from the bump because I was not a functioning human being last week. I'm only slightly functioning now. My first appointment was today and there was no ultrasound. I brought my husband along because he wasn't able to see our son's first ultrasound and they didn't freaking do one. I think she saw how disappointed we were because she said, "well, if I find a medical reason to do one, we'll set one up." To which, she felt my uterus (which hurt like fuck!) and said that I feel more like 9-10 weeks along. She said, "it could be that it's your second pregnancy or it could be more than one baby." This scared my husband shitless. I assured him that she was just trying to get us in for an ultrasound and that it's normal for the uterus to grow more quickly the second time around. But, the ultrasound is tomorrow and he can't come. Poop.

How are you feeling?
Had my first experience with MS this weekend... and still so nauseous. Trying to remind myself to be thankful that the nausea is another sign our little sweet pea is growing!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Rant - there are way too many horrid smells attacking me at work today. Gross. Sending positive vibes to all the ladies going through tough or nerve wracking circumstances today!
Questions?
Anyone else suddenly having trouble tolerating milk? I drank milk daily before I was pregnant, but the last few times I've drank it I've gotten so so sick after
*Edited bc I accidentally deleted a chunk of text on my phone before posting.
How are you feeling? Fatigue and I'm breaking out like crazy! I'm not one to get pimples and since Friday, 5 pimples showed up! Might have to check for a new skin care routine, while pregnant.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The nausea is finally over and I can start eating normally again. I'm finally catching up on some of the house chores too. Not letting my boost of energy go to waste today.
Questions? None
How are you feeling? Pregnant
R/R/PV: sending positive vibes everybody that needs them right now. Trying to combat my nerves.
Questions: none
How are you feeling? Meh. I had another migraine this weekend, but feeling better now. Nausea comes and goes, I wish I could just throw up and get it over with.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I saw my sea monkey on Friday! The heartbeat was strong and my OB moved my due date up 1 day.
I feel ok...just exhausted. This morning I was a little nauseous and extra hungry so I ate and that helped things. My breasts are still very sore but no color changes yet.
I've seen so much sadness on this board lately. Sending my thoughts and prayers to all of those ladies going through a rough time. At the same time, it feels like reality is slapping me in the face. Pregnancy just feels so fragile for something humans have been doing for thousands of years.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. The sore boobs have just become normal. I get a little nausea while in the car, but that's it for MS. My DH will tell you that I have a hair trigger (and he's totally right!).
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We had our 2nd ultrasound this morning (first was at 7 weeks) and everything looks great! LO was moving a lot, HB was 174, and measurements are all on track. We graduated from our RE after the appointment! Woo hoo!
