Re: Wednesday Symptoms / check-in
How are you feeling? Excited to hit 7w tomorrow
Doing anything baby related today? I think I might get started on baby's cross-stitch stocking. I've already made one for DH and I a few years ago.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My weird rash is still there but hasn't really gotten better or worse since yesterday. I'm really really hoping it's not anything infectious and is just hives that will go away on it's own. I did look it up in my old nursing textbook and if it's impetigo, the treatment is Penicillin which is Class B, so that gives me some peace of mind.
Questions? Is anyone having trouble sleeping on their belly already? I am most comfortable on my back or belly but have been subconsciously avoiding both of those positions. I was worried about rolling on my back in the third trimester and suffocating myself in my sleep, but my body seems to know to avoid it even now.
@sboston06 I'm a stomach sleeper, but am finding it uncomfortable due to how tender my breasts are. I guess it's good practice to get used to sleeping on my side.
How far along are you? 6+3
How are you feeling? Queasy. I wanted to see how long I could feel good after a dose of the diclegis so I didn't take any last night. While I don't feel great right now, it's really manageable which gives me hope I can go at least 2 days. I'm also exhausted. I haven't been up past 8pm in over a week.
Doing anything baby related today? Napping later!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm annoyed with the parents of one of my clients. Apparently their child slept poorly and doesn't feel great, but isn't sick enough to stay home (what???). so cool, send in your tired not feeling great kid and expect my staff to provide positive effective intervention. And also spread your kids germs cause that's cool.
Questions: None today.
Married: October 2014
TTC #1 since September 2015
How are you feeling? So freakin tired. On TP Watch after getting some weird cramping after the dr visit yesterday.
Doing anything baby related today? Getting some bloodwork done, maybe going to scout out the location of where we might do our "reveal" photo (new Star Wars area of Hollywood Studios with Chewbacca meet and greet...the force is strong with this one!)
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I love my husband. After freaking out form the cramping he started talking to it and telling it to "stick". He isn't usually super sentimental like that, and it meant a lot. He also left me a note this morning.
How are you feeling? Still crappy but my sinus stuff seems to slowly be dissipating and that helps.
Doing anything baby related today? Maybe/probably telling my MIL about the babe.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We told our 4.5 year old son about the baby and he is the most excited kid I have ever seen. He's already told his entire preschool so I know we have to tell MIL now or he will. Luckily, I got his initial reaction on video and it's the sweetest. My husband showed him the sonogram and he was over the moon. I told him it would just look like a blob but he said, "no, it's a baby!"

How are you feeling? I'm not doing too hot today. I'm nauseated but not. I'm having this weird upper back pain when I shift a certain way, and I've practically convinced myself it's due to being ectopic. I know that it's my anxiety talking because when i try to think about calling the doctor, I have no other symptoms to relay and I know what they will say.
Doing anything baby related today? Notta.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I need some positives vibes today. I'm feeling quite down.
Questions?
How are you feeling? I'm starving but get queasy after eating. So that's fun. The smells are starting to really bother me.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have to buy a new brand of dog food. The kind we have now is so offensive right now. I'm not looking forward to going to the pet store. Too many smells!
How are you feeling? Sick. Sick. Sick.
Doing anything baby related today? My DD is getting a flu shot. Nothing for this one.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The bump hates me. It won't let me start a new thread on the app.
Questions? Since I can't start my own thread, what are you eating for breakfast these days? Everything makes me want to barf and I wake up already feeling like puking. Add in DD needing her morning bottle and a clean diaper, I'm not doing a very good job of taking care of myself.

How are you feeling? At the moment ok. But I am normally ok in the mornings, poor in the afternoons and miserable by night!
Doing anything baby related today? Nope, just looking forward to my first official Dr. apt on Monday!!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So I thought it was bad when I threw up in the liquor aisle at walmart buying liquor for Thanksgiving. (if you ever really want to feel judged that is the thing to do). Last night I threw up in the middle of a therapy session. My client was talking and I just couldnt stop it. Soo embarrassing. We will see if she comes back next week.
Questions?
How are you feeling? Barfy
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Work is crazy and I am having to pull 12 hour days, which isn't ideal (now or ever). Hopefully it will subside soon.
How are you feeling? My stomach is angry... it has been since yesterday morning and nothing seems to be helping! So much indigestion, bloating, gas, just a mess. It is making me very unhappy!
Doing anything baby related today? Nothing today!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Some of the baby things I had ordered at the Kate Spade sale and the Vineyard Vines sale have arrived (I just ordered a few girl things & a few boys things because they were on great sales (like $68 outfit down to $15) and I couldn't help myself! DH keeps telling me to only buy neutral stuff... but I figure we'll have more than one kid, and 1/2 my girlfriends are pregnant- nothing will go to waste!! I told my cousin's wife about the sales but she said she is too superstitious to buy herself anything for the baby... does anyone else feel this way?? She thought it would be bad luck... I told her I'm just enjoying being pregnant and shopping makes me happy - wondering if I'm in the minority and most of you are holding off too??
Questions? just the one I asked above!
How are you feeling? Scarily good today.
Doing anything baby related today? Not today.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I really wanted some flavor yesterday, so I sent DH to the store to pick up some flavored water. He grabbed La Croix Berry, and it's disgusting!!!! I want to make myself like it, but it's just not good. Anyone have any flavored waters they like?
How are you feeling? Tired and a little irritable.
Doing anything baby related today? We have our first appointment today! Blood work but no US. I am getting anxious.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm already a bigger girl and have always carried my weight in my belly. This bloat is making me look like I'm six months pregnant and none of my pants fit! I caved and bought maternity leggings and jeans yesterday.
How are you feeling? Endlessly tired, but beyond that I feel great
Doing anything baby related today? This is my first baby post
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Hoping I can make it to 5:00pm without napping
Questions? I have my first prenatal visit in 2 weeks. They said there would be no ultrasound. Is this normal/typical?
How are you feeling? So exhausted, and naseous
Doing anything baby related today? nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I got asked by a patient today when I was due. How embarrassing that I already look that pregnant that people think it's ok to ask. I know it's just bloat (and weight previous weight gain), but it's so embarrassing to be "showing" at 7 weeks.
Questions? What is everyone drinking? I am so sick of water, but I always have a bad taste in my mouth. Lemonade tastes good, but I don't want to drink it constantly and get all those calories (I am seriously thirsty).
How are you feeling? Crappy. A little nauseous, and I had a bit of a headache so I decided to stay home from work today. I really could have gone in and suffered through the day, but dammit I just didn't feel like putting on those adult pants.
Doing anything baby related today? Eating, browsing TB, looking at maternity clothes and probably staying in bed. Nothing directly related, though.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: RANT! Why did my midwives' office call my cell phone at 7:30PM just to leave me a message saying they want to discuss my bloodwork results and that I can call back between 8am and 5pm? Hello, you just called me at 7:30... and way to instantly freak me out and think something must be wrong. I got to my phone half a second after it stopped ringing.
Questions? Nope.
On the other hand, our poor techs are always getting a virus or bug from the kids they work with, so obviously kids are being brought in with more than a runny nose.
How are you feeling? Like shit
Doing anything baby related today? Nope - bloodwork and next appointment isn't until 12/18. Need to schedule my U/S.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant - just want to be able to eat again. Luckily I know this will pass but it's just hard when no one knows what's going on and I'm having to hide how shitty I feel.
DD #2: EDD July 2016
How are you feeling: Exhausted. Last night I woke up in a pool of sweat and then later I woke up shivering. Not sure if I'm fighting a cold or that is pregnancy-related. I am definitely having issues regulating my body temperature.
Doing anything baby related today: I am meeting my CNM this afternoon for the first time!
Rant: I'm having occasional pinchy feelings in my abdomen, not sure if that's my uterus or my totally messed up intestines.
Questions: none, but to answer Sboston06, I am definitely having problems sleeping on my belly, and it's my favorite position. Apparently in my sleep I try to lay on my fists to elevate my boobs and prevent them from being crushed, but then my back hurts and I wake up with my hands asleep. Ugh.
DD #2: EDD July 2016
How far along are you? 9+5
How are you feeling? Grumpy. Seriously grumpy.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: woke up in a
How are you feeling? Blah. I'm always so exhausted and emotional. And I have like this on and off again stomach ache. Back is more sore today.
Doing anything baby related today? No. I'm still laying low until 8 week ultrasound
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Reminding myself that my 6 week viability scan went well with a heartbeat. I'm still so nervous.
Questions? Zero
How are you feeling? Ok. I might be a little moody. Boobs are still sore. Nausea is constant but not too bad.
Doing anything baby related today? No
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My midwife was super excited for me. I love it.
Questions? (TMI) Anyone else have just copious amounts of discharge? Yuck.
ETA: R/R/PV
How are you feeling? Tired. Always SO tired.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I want to be on maternity leave yesterday!! So far away
Questions? None
How are you feeling? Kind of weird right now. Like, hungry but not...boobs were actually sore for the first time this morning, but only on the outsides. And, I swear they grown infinitesimally. I am mostly just extremely tired! And my abs are still sore. Orange juice tastes a little weird...
Doing anything baby related today? Nope.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I only teach in the morning today, and the kids had a field trip! AND they thought I had classes so I really didn't even have to go! #FTW
Questions? No
@mckcak23 Oh man. I've been there. With my first, any car ride would make me vomit. So I'd throw up as soon as I parked anywhere. And then usually all through the store until things settled down.
@oandmplus1 Lacroix is a good option. It's sparkling flavored water. No artificial sweeteners or sugar.
How are you feeling? Slightly nauseated throughout the day, but nothing awful. I'd wanted some symptoms to "reassure" myself, but I'm hoping it stays at this level! I get winded easily, just from moving from sitting on the carpet to standing.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Not really a rant but I wanted to cry last night during yoga when I was lying on my stomach because my boobs were so sore.
Questions? Nope
How are you feeling? Scary good. I get small waves of symptoms, cramping/nausea, but they only last for a few minutes and then they are gone. It's making me nervous and I still have 2 weeks until my first appointment.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Can it be Friday already? I'm ready for the weekend!
Questions? I am going to a new doctor since my regular doesn't do ob anymore. When I called they didn't mention what would be happening in the first appointment. If you were me, would you call to confirm what is included in the first visit, ex. if an ultrasound will be performed, or just wait it out?
@MotherOfDucks That was actually something I was going to ask today too! I'm glad @tennisbabymama confirmed its normal!
How far along are you? 9w3d
How are you feeling? Tolerable today. It will get worse this evening though..always does. Haven't been able to keep any real food down, so today's lunch is an apple and some Doritos. :P First time this week I haven't dry-heaved upon waking up, so I guess that's good.
Doing anything baby related today? Nope
Rants/Raves/Positive Vibes: Just glad I'm still pregnant. Week 9 is a scary week for me, I've never made it past it, except with my MMC, but the baby stopped developing at 9weeks that time. So, just taking it a day at a time.
Questions: Not really
How are you feeling? Good. Pressure in abdomen, having to pee constantly.
Doing anything baby related today? I just had my first visit with the midwife. Filled out paperwork, peed in a cup (they confirmed I'm pregnant), they gave me a liter water bottle with instructions that I'm to drink 3-4 of these per day! They gave me a food journal that I'm required to keep. And they gave me "homework" asking all kinds of personal questions like frequency of sex and how happy/unhappy/surprised we are to be pregnant, etc. Blood pressure is low, heart rate is low, lungs and heart are clear and good, weight is the same, so all clear health-wise and officially have a spot as a patient! She did try the doppler, but said it would probably be too early to hear the baby and it was boooo! Our ultrasound is next Wednesday though so no worries. Also she said my uterus has definitely not popped yet, that she can only just feel the top of it, and that any popping sensations I've had while stretching are probably just my intestines/organs moving around making room.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Positive vibes to anyone having a hard day today! I'm feeling some major gratitude for my health and sending positive vibes to seamonkey who I hope is doing okay in there. It sure would have been nice to know for sure. Waiting around for news is tough- hang in there ladies!
Questions? nah
How are you feeling? Better today I guess. My boobs aren't as sore. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling pretty nauseated but I turned over and it went away. I was also nauseated when I first woke up. I ran to the bathroom and just dry heaved and felt better. But then cried cause I didn't want to go to work.
Doing anything baby related today? Just makin one. lol
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We move into our new place on Friday if all goes well; so that should be exciting. I hope I am not too sick to actually help!
