Re: PGAL check-in 1/18
-6w5d
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
-Mentally, I'm doing surprisingly well. Just taking it day by day and taking comfort in my symptoms. I didn't have many with my 12week MMC pregnancy.
-Physically, I can barely function. Declegis isn't touching it, my boobs are super sore, and I'm so exhausted. I'm sleeping like 12+ hrs a day.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on?
-This Friday, the 22nd, is our first ultrasound! If all goes perfectly, we will be telling out 4yr old after and then surprising him with a trip to the children's museum!
Rants/Rave/Random:
-My mom was up for the weekend and she was so helpful but now my 4 yr old is being a terror because his Nana gave him whatever he wanted all weekend long. Blah
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
-his happy-go-lucky personality
-he is a hard worker and a go getter.
-he is a wonderful father.

How are you feeling physically and mentally?
Good, really good. Only symptoms is being really tired, nausea and being cold all the time so really no so bad at all.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on?
My next ultrasound is February 1st. Then on February 18 we go visit my family for a few days and I will be 12 weeks then so I will tell my dad and my friends.
Rants/Rave/Random:
I need to eat more fruits, I always loved fruit but for the past 2 weeks I can barely eat them... All the ones I love even... hope I won't last all the pregnancy.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
Is always nice and cute! Even when he snores.
Is very smart and very strong, I am never afraid when I am with him.
Always gets me treats and cuddles when I want them.
It is hard to choose just three lol

How are you feeling physically and mentally? Symptoms have definitely increased over the past week. Food aversion and nausea are the worst of it but handling it well. Trying to be thankful for my symptoms. It was a rollercoaster of a week emotionally. Had to take a mental health day on Thursday because I was so overwhelmed with it but doing better now. Just hate the uncertainty and what everything to be ok.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? Ultrasound on Wednesday. We got one scheduled one week earlier than our first prenatal appointment due to my brown spotting last week (completely stopped) and that my HCG did not go up drastically although was already really high (~70,000).
Rants/Rave/Random: I am tired of not being able to work out. Because of my symptoms, the OB wants me to rest until they see me and it is driving me crazy. Ready to start working out again hopefully on Wednesday.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
1) He is sexy and athletic
2) He is 100% dedicated to everything he does
3) He is a lot of fun
BFP #2 12/22/15, EDD 9/1/16
How are you feeling physically and mentally? Getting nervous about my first appt this Wednesday. I just fear the "it only appears to be 4wks developed" conversation. This was around the same time (6w4d) I had my loss and was thinking to be much further along.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? Telling people!! It won't be until the end of February for us. I'm so glad I have this community to share experiences/thoughts with.
Rants/Rave/Random: The SeaBands have definitely helped offset the nausea. Still feeling boob and vadge lightning and am sofa-king tired all the time. I vacuumed half the living
room today and felt super productive.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
1) his optimism
2) how he bends over backwards to be sure I'm comfortable
3) his Mr. Mom abilities (he's a SAHD) and also works part time, pretty impressive (and sexy
As as for next milestones, I'm looking forward to ultrasounds as well. Since I work OB and know my prenatal will be sent to my boss, I'm waiting til 12 weeks to schedule anything (and debating on how much longer I can keep it quiet). I know my work family will be supportive but I also know my coworkers will have to work overtime while I'm on leave
I'm so grateful that DH is a great father to our other LOs, is awesome at budgeting (one of my weaknesses), and that he's excited about our baby. My first husband was none of those things lol
How are you feeling physically and mentally? Physically, I'm just feeling generally crummy. I don't really feel like I would have imagined a pregnant woman would feel like (not throwing up every morning, just general nausea most of the time, no "glow," none of the stereotypical stuff). I just feel kind of run down. And my nose keeps bleeding every time I blow it (I've got a stuffy nose).
Mentally, I'm actually doing really well. I worry that I'm not connected enough to my babies because it still doesn't really feel "real" (probably the lack of stereotypical symptoms), but I'm not particularly anxious at this point. I think seeing and hearing my twins' heartbeats has made a big difference, although every time another ultrasound rolls around, I get anxious all over again, expecting the worst. So most of the time, I'm doing awesome. It's just around appointment time that I get nervous.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? My first appointment with my OB in February. It's going to be scary changing from my RE, who I know and love, to a new group of doctors who won't see me as often and who I don't know (although my RE recommended them).
Rants/Rave/Random: I really wish I felt pregnant. It's so weird knowing that I am and that everything is fine, but that I don't feel like I expected to feel.

3 things I love about hubby
- worry free attitude
- His love for his son
- How he takes care of his family
Edited - because the bump keeps cutting off half of my posts
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically awful. I'm tired of puking. Mentally I'm doing well though. Now that we've had positive confirmation I'm feeling really good about this pregnancy
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? Nt scan and being able to hear baby on the Doppler.
Rants/Rave/Random: diclegis isn't really doing much for me. I'm looking forward to getting through the first trimester.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other! He's hilarious... He's the best dad I could ever ask for my kids to have. He has taken care of the entire house while my morning sickness has been bad. I haven't had to ask for anything. Such a good husband.
Mom to Cam and Al, now expecting baby number 3, August 2016. Praying for lots of sticky baby dust!
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically I'm exhausted. The nausea comes and goes and I have all the bloat and gas!
Mentally I have my moments. I told my mom last night and she was very supportive and excited. She's only allowed to tell my dad. Although I might call him on my lunch today and tell him myself. I'm still very nervous/scared. Just trying to take it day by day.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? I have another US on 2/2. Then we will go from there.
Rants/Rave/Random: I want all the steak!
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
He is very compassionate
He's an amazing dad
And he's honest sometimes to a fault.
How are you feeling? Physically - kind of like junk. I caught the virus that my girls had. It's kicking my butt. The littlest task takes so much out of me.
Mentally - I'm kind of numb. My first ultrasound is on Thursday. I'm hoping that it will be good, but I just can't get my hopes up.
Next milestone? Ultrasound and first appt on Thursday morning
Rant/Rave/Random: I am craving homemade cookies but have zero energy to make any.
3 things:
He works very hard for us.
He balances me when I get stressed or worked up.
I love how he plays with our girls and engages them.

How far along are you?
- 5w6d
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
- physically: some nausea, gassy, peeing a ton, tender breasts, some fatigue and cold all of the time.
- mentally: most days I'm good and I'm finally able to be excited about Baby 'Bit, but some days I'm terrified of losing this pregnancy and I cry.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on?
- u/s on Wednesday! I'm so nervous!
Rants/Rave/Random:
- I am SO SICK of studying right now! I should be studying microbiology but I'm slacking right now.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
- he is incredibly patient with me
- he is very supportive and also so hardworking
- he is my best friend and I have to add I think he's stunningly handsome
How are you feeling physically and mentally? Physically, crummy. I'm nauseous, my boobs hurt, bloated, gassy, constipated and have had a headache since about two days before we found out. Mentally, I go back and forth. My loss made me unravel and I started therapy and medication and the meds have helped my anxiety. Hearing the heartbeat last Friday also helped but I'm scared that something will go wrong beforethe next US or the one after that...
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on? US and appointment next week. I'm hoping things will still look good then.
Rants/Rave/Random: I'll join in and say I've been feeling cold too. Not terribly but my feet have been freezing and I sometimes end up layering a bunch of blankets. I even called the nurse to ask if it could be my thyroid but that's looking good so it's just hormones. I've been having night sweats too, though.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
- He's so funny and always tries to cheer me up
- He's patient and so sweet
- He thinks I'm the most amazing person in the world (I'm not even close!)
5 weeks 2 days
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically, I'm exhausted. I was so thankful to have Monday off so I could sleep A TON! Otherwise, I'm not having many symptoms still, which is still hard for me mentally. *Trigger warning* on Sunday night I had a nightmare that I miscarried in the shower. The dream was so real that I woke up in a panic. It's all I've been able to think about the last couple days.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on?
First ultrasound two weeks from today - it feels like it's sooooo far away!!
Rants/Rave/Random:
I'm currently doing a Whole 30 and I'm on day 10. Call me crazy for doing this during my first trimester haha, but I'm really hoping a healthy diet from the get-go will lead to a healthier pregnancy.
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
He is so compassionate.
He makes me laugh when I think I no longer can.
He always says I'm beautiful, even when I'm looking/feeling my worst.

Rants/Rave/Random:I'm worrying a lot now and wondering if I should call the doc and ask for another us or check up in between now and the 12 week one.

I think i'm about 7 weeks almost 8?? not really too sure, waiting for first scan on thursday!
How are you feeling physically and mentally?
Physically i'm doing pretty good today. The nausea has subsided which is mentally making me a wreck. As much as I don't like the nausea it helps remind me that i'm pregnant and doing fine.
What is the next milestone you are setting your sights on?
Next milestone if thursday's doctor's appointment. I've had to wait over 2 weeks since i schedule the appointment (and found out i was pregnant) and this appointment can't come soon enough!
Rants/Rave/Random:
Name *3* things you love about your significant other!
He's very supportive
He cares about my well being and was genuinely concerned when i didn't feel like eating--he even offered to buy me cake and nachos!!
He is an amazing father to our son
My history--first time posting on this board because i thought i'd be fine this pregnancy.
I had 2 mc in 2013. I got pregnant the 3rd time and was a nervous wreck during the first tri. I was blessed with a healthy baby boy Dec 2014.
We just started trying for number #2 back in nov. I haven't had a regular period since i'm breastfeeding so i've been using ovulation tests. Tried in Nov, had light spotting (could have been implantation bleeding??) took a pregnancy test on dec 5 BFN. Tried in december, got a positive ovulation...had bleeding starting on christmas morning. I was sure this was my period because it was heavier than nov...started taking ovulation test again and got 5+ days of positive tests so i took a pregnancy test and got a BFP! Very excited, but also slightly nervous about this pregnancy due to the bleeding in dec...trying to wait patiently for my doc appointment but my mind is going crazy at the moment
