Re: Monday Check-in
How are you feeling? Well, it's 4:20am and I need to be up in 2 hours because my school district STILL HAS SCHOOL until WEDNESDAY...!!! And I'm hungry. Overall, fine. Still only nauseated when I get hungry, mostly. Still perpetually tired. Boobs are fine, but I clearly need to stretch my back.
Any updates? My first appointment got moved from today to Wednesday.
Questions? I can't think of anything.
I'm roughly 11w1d
Ultrasound tomorrow where I'll FINALLY meet with the doc and not just talk to him over the phone. So hopefully I actually get a due date from him.
Was starting to feel pretty good, but right now I feel awful and like if I move I'm going to puke. Don't know if it's stress or anxiety or lack of sleep or a combination of everything. But in general I was lucky to not have to worry too much about ms, but now I'm definitely feeling it. Oh and I also got a cold from my son. Woo hoo.
How Far Along: 11w 5d
How are you feeling: pretty crappy this am. I've been dealing with nightly anxiety attacks and as a result have been getting broken sleep for the last week. Meditation helps me get back to sleep but I really could use a full night. Maybe this is practice?Yesterday I had a sore throat and post nasal drip so
all I did was lay around and pump fluids. I slept off and on for about 11 hours last night and feel better but still definitely fighting something. I will go to work but will leave early today.
No baby updates, just anticipating Xmas when I will finally tell my parents via a box-within-a-box Xmas present.
Questions: i am trying to think of a smart-ass question because I don't have any real or relevant ones... brain is in the fritz I guess!
12W1D
How are you feeling?
Extremely tired. I have been on nights all weekend and slept all day Sunday (hence why j didn't start a ticker change thread!). I feel like I will sleep forever today.
Any updates?'
Went in for my NT ultrasound last week and measured too small to do the test (I had booked it st 11W3D and baby was measuring 10W6D). So have to go back Dec 30 for repeat ultrasound.
No questions right now.
How far along are you? 8 w 4 days
How are you feeling? Crappy. Nauseated all day long regardless of food intake and dry heaves are ever worsening. It's even gotten so bad that it's waking me up at night so I'm even more exhausted.
Any updates? Nope. Still spotting off and on but I've almost gotten used to it and both my ultrasounds have been postive.
Questions? Nope. Too early for my brain
How are you feeling? Ugh, insomnia is the worst! I don't think I have slept at all tonight. It's currently 4am. But otherwise pretty good. Haven't tossed cookies for a whole week now and starting to have an appetite.
Any updates? Not really. NT ultrasound on Wednesday.
Questions? Does anyone else find their tastebuds are kind of off? Now that I'm not as nauseated all the time I will crave something but when I eat it I'm always disappointed because it doesn't taste as good as I was expecting. It's like all the flavors are dull or something.
How are you feeling? I actually got the right amount of sleep last night, and I took a unisom/b6, so alright. A bit sore from yoga, but I haven't worked out since before my bfp.
Any updates? Not with me, but my sister is being induced tomorrow. Cervidil and if it doesn't progress then Pitocin. I wish she would have waited a little longer past her due date (which is tomorrow) but I know she's been feeling like death and just wants her DD out. Prayers please!
Feeling pretty crappy and tired, mostly because my 20 month old was up between 1 and 4:30 last night, then up for the day at 7:30. I wanted to catch up on some lost sleep from the weekend, so that really didn't help. Other than that, I think my pregnancy fatigue is getting better. Still feel like I need to eat frequently or will be nauseous...yet never like any food that much. Can't wait for that whole phase to be over.
I guess I don't have any updates worth noting. And no questions.
@born2run911 yeah my husband and I are going through a very rough time. He wasn't physically cheating on me, but he was talking to another woman he met online nonstop. So in my mind still cheating. So there's kind of a reason behind the bad dreams and it just makes me that much more paranoid and depressed
How are you feeling? Excited to announce to DH's Grandmother and brother tomorrow in person
Any updates? We announced to DH's co-workers and the team he coaches (college girls). They were all really excited. They're great with our 3 year old DD, so it will be fun to add another little fan in the mix. (We announced kind of early because DD knows and we were concerned she was going to spill the beans accidentally before we had a chance to share the news)
Questions? Are anybody else's farts knocking them out? Seriously. Yuck. I don't remember this with #1 but maybe I've blocked it out. LOL!
I am feeling soooo tired this morning. I was up almost every hour to go to the bathroom and found it hard to get comfortable to get back to sleep. I love my job, but these days I really wish I didn't have to work.
No updates or questions for me.
How far along are you? 12w1d
How are you feeling? Anxious. I have my 12w U/S today and I haven't seen the baby since 8w, so I'm just terrified to find a mmc. But I have no legitimate reason to expect one since we've had good u/s and bloodwork all the way through this one. I'm just ready to get this over with. Physically, definitely starting to feel on the upswing from the MS and everything, though I still have to take 1 Zofran a day to keep the pukiness away. It's much less severe now though, so I'm thinking I can probably wean off of it here soon.
Any updates? Found out it's a boy last week from my MaterniT21 test! I think we will finalize the name if everything goes well today, we have one in mind that we've actually managed to agree on, so once we can relax into this pregnancy for reals, I think we'll be ready to set the name in stone!
Questions? Nope, just would appreciate prayers for a good U/S today and that I don't go insane between now and 1:45.
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Any updates? Nope
Questions? STM+ mom's how many weeks were you or how big was your bump when did you stop sleeping on your belly? I have been having a hard time sleeping at night because I'm a stomach sleeper and mentally I'm worried about the baby while sleeping on my stomach. I know the baby is so tiny in there but my brain just cannot get over it. Thanks in advance!
How are you feeling? Good. Most of my symptoms are improving. The breast soreness is better but they still look a lot different than before. Fatigue is still pretty bad especially in the afternoon but working / being distracted helps a lot!
Any updates? Getting my labs drawn tomorrow for FTS and prenatal screenings. I'm actually really excited to see my lab results! I'll go for the ultrasound to go along with FTS in about 3 weeks.
Questions? What have you ladies done to prepare for baby? I haven't done anything yet except get on a waiting list for work's daycare. No registry, no reading books. Right now I'm still reading What to Expect and I think getting too far ahead will make me anxious. We are also trying to plan a babymoon, but there hasn't been any actual baby planning! I feel like I'm behind based on some of the comments I've read on this forum.

How are you feeling? SO pregnant! I know it's crazy to feel this way this early. With my first, it took forever for me to look and feel pregnant (aside from the constant nausea). Hopefully I won't find out it's multiples at my first appointment today!! Other than that, far less nausea than I had with my first but incredibly sore boobs.
Any updates? Anxiously awaiting my first appointment in 2 hours to get an update.
Questions? What in the world am I going to do if they do say it's multiples?! Haha!

How are you feeling? I WAS feeling better but this weekend took me down a few notches. Nausea is all up in my life right now. And each morning, I have an appointment to throw up stomach bile after brushing my teeth. Yippee!
Any updates? Seeing my husband start to include "the baby" in a lot of our conversations makes me happy. The first go 'round, he was a little terrified and didn't acknowledge my pregnancy much.
Questions? Could I fast forward to about 13 weeks? THANKS!
July BMB May Signature Challenge
Feeling: Pretty much the same since I got my bfp...just sore nipples. The bloating is very similar to my loss...I think it just increases with subsequent pregnancies. I don't mind it to get closer to that bump though, even if it isn't baby...nobody else knows that
Updates: 2 weeks away from my 10w u/s where I will be past my loss...having extreme anxiety about it and am deathly afraid of a 2nd missed miscarriage. Telling our immediate family on Christmas/Christmas Eve...adds to the anxiety
Questions: I am curious the odds of 2 missed miscarriages in a row @ 9 weeks? I also have a healthy 3 yr old DD.
How are you feeling? So far today I am feeling good.
Any updates? No, I won't have my first appointment until I am almost 12w.
Questions? Not currently.
How are you feeling?
Any updates? Nada
Questions? None at the moment
How are you feeling? Not bad, just fatigue all over the place. Working out has helped a lot with nausea so thankfully that is going away a little
Any updates? Next appt is next week! A little nervous that we are telling people before our second appt but nothing right now leads me to think something is wrong. Just a little paranoid I guess.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Really tired (even though I slept 11 hours last night!) and really bloated. But I've had worse days, so...
Any updates? Ugh, no. I go for my 12w appointment on January 12, where we'll hopefully be able to hear the heartbeat. Having to wait that long is killing me, especially since we'll be telling family over Christmas. But we had a great 7w viability and dating u/s, and good bloodwork last week, so I'm trying to remain positive.
Questions? None right now.
Definitely better. Smells are still weird and can set me off. But I can already tell this is getting much better.
Any updates?
I'm getting my results from genetic testing anytime today or Wednesday at the latest. The suspense is killing me. My 12wk appt is also Wednesday so big baby week for me.
Questions
When are you all telling work? I'm doing it today and am nervous about it although I think the response will be just fine.
How are you feeling? Exhausted today. DD was up puking last night. After the second full bed change (which also required an 11:00pm bath because her hair was matted with puke) I pulled her into the spare bed with me and laid towels under us. Two more puking sessions later (which I was able to keep MOSTLY in the bowl and not all over her - although it did get on me) and we were finally asleep for the night at 2:45am. Then DD woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 7:20am. We are missing work/daycare today. She seems totally back to normal, thankfully, but that means I'm running on 5 hours of restless sleep (she's a kicker) chasing after a busy toddler.
Any updates? Nothing new pregnancy related
Questions? Not today
How are you feeling? Still having nausea all day..evenings seem worse.. if I bend over to pick anything I start gagging.. I have vomitted a few times but not much comes up. Just sucks. I have no energy to do anything and nothing sounds good to me as far as eating.
Any updates? I called the doc to get a prescription for my nausea and was just told to take the b6 vitamin in the morning and to take unisom at night. Im kinda pissed. I was never told to do this with my first preg and was prescribed zofran. They didnt want to give me anything and said as long as I could keep fluids down Im fine. UGH.
Questions? Has anyone done the b6/unisom combo and had it worked? I have heard of it but just skeptical. I dont see why I need to feel miserable if its not necessary.
How are you feeling? Back to my "normal" self.
Any updates? I finally had my first appointment today. Everything looks great. We heard the heartbeat and saw the baby in a small portable US machine.
Questions? Nothing.
@TbabyB I haven't told work yet but probably will fairly soon. I'm still a casual employee and was hoping to get a permanent position recently so didn't want to tell them before that opportunity in case they didn't give me as much of a shot (I know that's illegal but figured they might do it without meaning to or being obvious about it). Anyways that opportunity passed and someone with way more experience than me got it, so I don't really care when they find out. There are certain parts of my job that I can't do while pregnant (a medication I can't give) so what will probably happen is the first time I go in to cover a shift and see that on my schedule, I'll let them know I need to swap patients with someone because I'm pregnant.
How are you feeling? Trying to get rid of a migraine. I read on here someone tried a cup of coffee/tea with their Tylenol -- guess what it's actually working. Oh so happy!! I also threw up for the first time this morning from MS.. Usually I'm just nauseas. I think the headache made it worse.
Any updates? I got to tell my sister, mom, and DH's mom, dad and siblings the other day. Everyone is so excited, which only makes me more excited!! It's so nice to share with loved ones
Questions? I think I'm good!
How far along are you? 12w0d
How are you feeling? Like garbage constanr headache constantly near puking or am puking.
Any updates? Had my NT test today and got spend about 30 minutes seeing babe today pretty awesome watching baby move and kick and turn loved it. Everything looked pretty good just waiting for all results.
Questions? None
How are you feeling? Tired today and a massive headache. Thought I was getting into the 2nd trip bliss since I made it through a whole day yesterday without taking a nap. Guess I'm not there yet :-(
Any updates? I told my girls that I coach on the way to our meet on Friday that I am pregnant and they went completely nuts about it and started texting other kids who pretty much attacked me in the hallway today telling me congratulations. I have a pretty close relationship with a lot of kids in my building since I coach 3 seasons of sports and I advise a graduating class. It felt good to tell them why I've been such a flake recently.
Questions? Nope...nada!
How are you feeling? Normal flip-flopping between nauseated and hungry - disappointed that there are no treats in the office kitchen this afternoon; been getting hot flashes which I have not had with my past two pregnancies, so that's new; and my gag reflex is in full force... brushed my teeth this morning and ended up dry-heaving over the sink.
Any updates? My second appointment and u/s are this Wednesday! I'm really excited but definitely nervous. I haven't seen LO since 6 weeks, so I'm really anxious to see how things have progressed.
Questions? None today!
@silvers626 I haven't had it yet with this pregnancy, but with DS, there were 1 or 2 weeks where I had this constant bad taste in my mouth that ruined anything I ate. It tasted like there was some burnt/carbonized piece of food stuck in my teeth. I brushed and flossed and Listerine-d to no avail. Best of luck!
@beachtigress I asked my doctor when I should start worrying about it, and she said I might be able to sleep comfortably on my back for as long as 6 months. Just depends on how you're feeling. I second PP's advice to use pillows for under your belly/between your knees. Also, if you're in the market for mattresses at this time, I highly recommend getting an adjustable base. 1) When you have nasty heartburn, sleeping on an incline does wonders... and helps keep the stomach acid out of your throat. 2) If/when your feet and legs start swelling, it's great to be able to sleep with your feet raised - you can achieve the same thing with pillows, but I'd wake up in the middle of the night with all of the pillows on the floor.
How are you feeling? Completely normal. Is that normal? I have zero symptoms and it's freaking me out.
Any updates? I think part of my worry stems from my last OB-GYN apt. The doctor couldn't find the heartbeat but was able to find the baby on the ultrasound. It was moving around like crazy and she said, "Well, you're baby is definitely alive." Until that moment I had never considered not being alive a possibility. Now I worry nonstop. I can't feel anything and I'm not experiencing any symptoms... how do I know everything is okay?! My next appointment is January 11th.
Questions? Should I worry? How do I calm my fears that somethings gone wrong and I have no idea?
How are you feeling? Better. Still extra tired but finally hungry again and much less nauseated.
Any updates? Checked with the home doppler Saturday and baby is still alive. Uterus definitely over the pelvic bone- lots of pulling and stretching sensations lately.
Questions? What's everyone getting for Christmas? Anyone getting any baby stuff this early?
