Doing anything baby related today?

Rants/Raves/Randoms:

Questions?

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately?

ETA: I think anyone could post on these for now (like a daily check in) until we have more activity on the board

How far along are you? 5 weeks

How are you feeling? sluggish, bloated, and starting to get little twinges of nausea here and there. Also my boobs hurt so bad I almost punched DH in the jaw when he grabbed one yesterday.

Doing anything baby related today? DH has started building furniture as a hobby so I'm looking up plans for a changing table/dresser he could make.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I'm so over the rain, but I have to admit I love the 70 degree weather in December. I should be upset about climate change, and I am, but I can't be mad at my t-shirt and flip flops in winter.

Questions? What prenatal vitamins are y'all taking? (I think my slang just gave away where I'm from)

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? Anything by twenty one pilots. DD and I are jamming to "stressed out" and "ride". Also it's a great band to listen to while I run.

I use gummy prenatal vitamins from Walmart. Have never been able to hold down tablet vitamins...pregnant or not.

Sarafuss · December 2015

@TheTamedShrew I take a Spring Valley prenatal and get them at Walmart for $3-$4. Cheap and they aren't huge and chalky like other brands!

How far along are you? 4w2d (my ticker change is on Monday)

How are you feeling? Okay. I'm crampy and have some heartburn. I'm nauseous but I know that's from nerves. I'm waiting on beta results and I'm terrified!

Doing anything baby related today? Just waiting on beta results...

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I've got nothin'.

Questions? I can't think of anything interesting!

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? It's not really a happy song but I love "Burning House" by Cam. I listen to mostly country music.

reesaXden · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 weeks today.

How are you feeling? Feeling mostly okay. I have little moments of feeling pukey but overal not to bad.

Doing anything baby related today? Dug out my maternity clothes to sort, wash, and organize. Trying to figure out what I may need.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Got awesome beta numbers back yesterday. My dr said they were "picture perfect" and that they didn't need repeated. Now I'm paranoid thinking I should have pushed to have a repeat for today. PGAL is hard.... Just trying to think positively!

Questions? Anyone else only do one beta draw?

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? I love "Thinking out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. My 4 yr old son loves it to and any time it comes on he ask if I would like to dance. So cute!

UnwritteN12 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 weeks 4 days

How are you feeling? Kinda gross. But I've promised myself no complaining! I'll take the morning sickness and all that comes with the pregnancy as long as this is a sticky baby!

Doing anything baby related today? Not today. Picked up a pregnancy journal yesterday though.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Not at this particular moment...

Questions? I don't remember from my first pregnancy if the pulling/crampy sensation in your abdomen is normal....

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" - Haley Reinhart cover

1. I am four weeks and two days!

2. I am feeling pretty good for the past few days! I haven't been pooping regularly, it's been every other day, so I am hoping my acupuncturist can help with that tonight.

3. I'm not doing anything baby related today when it comes to the new baby. Aside from that, I'm caring for my 9 1/2 month old.

4. No rants or raves really, just trying to clean the house when my son is being a little bit too needy today. Teething

5. No questions.

6. No songs are making me feel good today except I can't get the Daniel Tiger theme song out of my head. It's driving me crazy.

I am taking prenatal multivitamin by Intra-Naturals. It is non-GMO and soy free. It also has probiotics and an enzyme blend and that includes things like organic beet root powder, ginger root powder, broccoli leaf powder, and so on.

Since it does not contain DHA/Omega 3s, I am taking a supplement made by Nordic Naturals.

And I don't know if you would consider this a supplement but I do. I eat cereal that is fortified with folic acid every single day. Apparently your body absorbs it better when it comes from fortified foods. In addition, I eat a concoction of lentils, black-eyed peas, and broccoli which I have made into a soup and froze into individual portions. I eat that every other day for the to natural form of folic acid: folate.

jilligirl16 · December 2015

@UnwritteN12 I picked up a pregnancy journal too, yesterday. It's the exact same one that I used when I was pregnant the first time. It will be interesting to see the differences in how I was feeling then compared to now!

Thanks for the tips! I currently take Mega Food's Baby and Me prentals but it's expensive. I might try Intra-Naturals next! I do like that Mega's has Folate as opposed to Folic Acid..

@UnwritteN12 for me that pulling sensation is totally normal. It's called round ligament pain (RLP) and it's very common!

Smashbox29 · December 2015

How far along are you? 3w6d

How are you feeling? Pretty good right now. I am bloated, gassy and hungry still but no upset tummy yet or cramping today thankfully. I am still not getting any sleep though

Doing anything baby related today? No, I have to work. Tomorrow I am going to the hospital to fill out paperwork and set up my first appointment.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: My sleep pattern this week sucks. I feel its too early to be struggling to sleep or stay asleep.

Questions?

sunshinern96 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 weeks today!

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall! Have sore boobs, peeing more, occasionally dizzy/nauseous/tired

Doing anything baby related today? Enjoying browsing online, looking at newborn clothes and nursery ideas! It's been a couple years since I looked at all of this baby stuff, it is fun!

Rants/Raves/Randoms: We are excited because our entire little family will have bdays within 3 weeks of each other. I am 8/29, DS is 9/6, baby is due 9/7, and DH is 9/22. We will just have a few weeks of bday fun every year!

Questions? Anyone else feeling cold?? I am freezing!! I feel like with DS I was hot all the time from early on. Anyone else having this symptom? It could be my hypothyroidism, I didn't have it with DS and my doctor just upped my Synthroid dose today. Maybe that will make a difference.

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? Listening to DS sing the Apples and Bananas song this morning and laughing at how he pronounces bananas boonanas

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · December 2015

@TheTamedShrew I take the CVS brand prenatal gummies. I am motivated to take them because it's like two pieces of candy in the morning! They're also almost always buy one get one free.

izzetoot · December 2015

How far along are you? 4w 5d

How are you feeling? Good so far!

Doing anything baby related today? My house is constantly littered with toys and cartoon are on nonstop, its always baby day!

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Not today, but yesterday I could have killed someone! I waited all day checking my phone every 10 mins from 9am-5pm and OB never called. I called the office after hours and had the nurse paged to give me my results!

Questions? Nope

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? I love listening to broadway shows on Pandora to get the good feels

Wicked, Rent, etc

KatBH · December 2015

Ive been taking the generic version of the VitaPearl. My doctor had given me a sample when we first started TTC, and I liked that it didn't upset my stomach if I took it without food. The company auto-delivers it to me each month, and it's free through my insurance.

Jen080916 · December 2015

How far along are you? 4w1d

How are you feeling? Tired. Anxious. Had a couple days of fearing a chemical because my wondfos are not as dark as the control line. DH and BFF both had to talk some sense into me to stop testing. It's just so hard not to stress about this.

Doing anything baby related today? Nothing really. Made an OB appointment the other day (feb 2nd, 8 wks) And I can't wait.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Has anyone had any experience with wondfos not getting much darker between 11dpo and 15 dpo? They're obviously there, just thought they'd be darker I guess. I hope I'm just being crazy and paranoid.

Questions? See above.

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? Christmas Eve, the day I knew for sure that I was pregnant, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" and I'm not ashamed to say I cried a little. Ok, maybe a little ashamed.

MojieJo · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 weeks, 4 days.

How are you feeling? Meh? Nauseous on an off, a little crampy, headache-y and sensitive to smells. And hungry. So hungry.

Doing anything baby related today? Told my MIL and her husband (DH's step-father...doesn't feel quite right to call him my FIL, since they got married when DH was an adult and I consider his biological father to be my FIL).

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I'm sure it's just bloating from the meds I'm on since we did IVF, but I feel like I'm practically ready for maternity clothes already. I'm tiny to start with, so I'm feeling enormous, even though my husband says you can't tell by looking at me. I've already outgrown all my bras.

Questions? I know hot showers are a no-no, but how hot is "hot"? I'm guessing hot enough to turn my skin pink or make me feel overheated/dizzy? I'm overly paranoid about it since I like my showers very hot (and long), but I'm worried that my idea of "warm" is actually "hot" and that I'm going to do something to hurt my bean. I've been trying to keep the temp down and my belly out of the water (and cut down from hour-long showers to 15 minutes, which seems to be about the shortest amount of time I can manage to get through my routine in).

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? Haven't really been listening to music lately. I'd say probably the usual eclectic mix of things that I normally like (a little bit of everything except for rap and country).

nwshay · December 2015

How far along are you? 4 wks 6 days. YUP, couldnt wait until tomorrow to post this. Obsessed much?

How are you feeling? OK! Better than last week yesterday, I'm just assuming its because I have work to distract me. I get semi-nauseous when I'm hungry- Which is like every hour, so its not very convenient. Anyone have baby brain yet???? Cant. Think. Of. Words.

Doing anything baby related today? Nope, I'm at work, but we are telling parents and ILs today, so I guess thats baby related!

Rants/Raves/Randoms:I'm one of those weirdos that WANT symptoms to ease my mind, but I know i will hate it once I actually have MS.

Questions? Did anyone else know you cant have hibiscus??? I LOVE Starbucks passion tea, it has hibiscus. I guess its a No-no! Bummer.

GTKY: What song is giving you good feels lately? The entire Chris Stapleton CD and Mixed Drinks about Feeling by Eric Church. And all of Ed Sheerans music, lets be real.

JennM205 · December 2015

@Smashbox29 I, too, have been sleeping terribly!! What is up with that? It is way too soon for that to start... Let me know if you learn any elusive secrets of sleep in the near future!

@SDSwenson Baby brain has bitten me HARD this go-round! I honestly have been forgetting the simplest things - feeding the dog, putting on my make-up, meetings at work - left and right! My sudden absent-mindedness actually gave me an inkling I might be pregnant before I even got my BFP! Lol

Smashbox29 · December 2015

@JennM205 my co-worker is 5 weeks ahead of me. She actually thought she was losing the baby awhile back but luckily baby is still growing!!! She reccomended me to ask my doctor to prescribe me Unisom. She said that's what she had to take to get some sleep.
