First time starting one of these weekly threads, so here it goes!

What week are you?

How are you feeling?

Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?

2015dee · February 2016

@lilylover27 - thanks for posting!!

What week are you? 7 weeks!!!

How are you feeling? Absolutely exhausted! Had my first short bout of nausea yesterday, but otherwise, doing pretty good.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Silly question....have any of you all asked your doctors about self-tanner? I've read conflicting things. I usually either use St. Tropaz or Rodan & Fields, but I haven't since my BFP. My skin is almost see-through now because I'm so pale!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? So cliché....in a bar.

KLBell17 · February 2016

What week are you? 8 weeks

How are you feeling? Okay. Happy I got to see my little bean yesterday! But kind of nauseous after my breakfast of donuts. Oops.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Being as this is my second, and they are pretty close together.. This does not feel real at all. Does anyone else feel this way?

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We worked together.

What week are you? Week 7...woot!

How are you feeling? Starting to feel a little nauseous, but no throwing up yet. Breasts are sore and I'm constantly exhausted.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Other than coffee and the occasional alcohol, the worst part of the whole pregnancy thing is being unable to dye my hair, which I've been doing for over 5 years. For those of you who have already been through this, what have you been told about dying your hair? I don't see my doctor until March 2, and I would like to get more input sooner than later.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We initially met through match.com. For our first date I had to sell my Iowa football ticket against Michigan to meet up. I will never let him forget that...lol

What week are you? 5

How are you feeling? Exhausted but great!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Only a week until my OB intake appointment...yay! I'm enjoying all the early US pics but disappointed because I probably won't get one until after my 1st OB appointment which is 3/23. I'll be 9 weeks! It's so far away and with the vertigo I had so early on with the meds AND DH and DD both had the flu...I'm just worried and in need of some validation that things are still going smoothly in there. Sigh.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? DH and I met back in college while both working for the same company.

What week are you? 8 weeks

How are you feeling? Fatigue is the main symptoms, also unlike everyone else is seems I am always hungry! I had some nausea around 6 weeks but that was it, now I am hungry after eating a half hour ago!

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: My work pants already don't fit due to bloating so I am already going to purchase some bellabands to get some more use out of them!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? Through my SIL actually, she was friends with DH back in school!

SnobunnieMel · February 2016

What week are you? 8

How are you feeling? The nausea train keeps rolling and I think my boobs are approaching porn star status

Rants/Raves/Questions? Feeling like 8 is a small milestone. Pretty excited despite how shitty I constantly feel

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met in college. We were both athletes. He transferred in my sophomore year and some other baseball players brought him to a party at my apartment. He walked in to see me dancing on my table and we have been together ever since, 10.5 years.

CaptainPhasma · February 2016

What week are you? Week 5

How are you feeling? happy, cautious, it's out first pregnancy, it doesn't quite seem real yet

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - I have an unrelated rash all over my torso and it's so irritating, and I can't get the steroid shot to get rid of it because it could increase the chance of cleft palate

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? I dated his roommate, but we were all good friends for a while, we've known each other for 10 yrs, together for 7 yrs, married for 9 months. He's gonna be a really good dad.

Hi all!

What week are you? 6 weeks!

How are you feeling? Great! Which actually is a little disconcerting...only sore boobs and achy back, plus super thirsty. But, feeling loads better after a call from my NP - had some spotting so they sent me for blood work, my HCG level was 26,000+, which they say is right where I should be. Talk about a huge sense of relief after 4 days of anxiety...

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm in love with water! I've always tried to drink lots of it, but always end up veering towards a Diet Coke or Iced Tea. But since trying to cut back on the soda and caffeine, not to mention I'm so thirsty, I find the extra water eases any caffeine headaches. Plus the doctor says it should ease any cramping, if you drink alot of it!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? So typical - in a bar.

@breweber2010 I've read and heard from pregnant girlfriends that dying your hair isn't harmful to the baby. If you're super nervous, wait until the 2nd trimester, but most of the chemicals they use now in hair dye aren't harmful and so little of it really touches your scalp, that it shouldn't affect the baby. You could also try highlights for the time being, since they don't make contact with the scalp, and if you go to a salon, go first thing in the morning, before all the "smells" start to linger. Good luck!

lilylover27 · February 2016

@lmnobaby don't let little to no symptoms concern you, I was the same way and it freaked me out! All I had was fatigue and larger boobs, maybe occasional nausea and food aversions but that was it. I took had spotting at 7 weeks so they squeezed me in for an early ultrasound and there it was heartbeat and all! My OB said I am lucky if those are my only symptoms!

xiphos13 · February 2016

What week are you? Week 5

How are you feeling? I've been tired for the past few days. When I look back on the last week, I noticed I've been craving lots of meat. It all feels very surreal. Not too TMI - my boobs feel fuller and my nipples are kinda sore.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I want to tell my dad about this so bad. This will be his first grandchild. I can't wait for his reaction. But I'm trying to hold out until we get to see the first US, which is on the 18th.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met at my job in college. He was a friend of a friend, and then ended up working in the same office as me.

MrsHudson2014 · February 2016

What week are you: 8 weeks!!

How are you feeling: Pretty crappy. I throw up in a lot of parking lots to and from places. And I'm exhausted.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I am a week away from my first ultrasound, and trying to keep things a secret is getting harder. I feel like im already showing.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet: online, video games. HAH!

Cubslove12 · February 2016

What week are you? I'm 6 weeks!

How are you feeling? Pretty well, a little hormonal, and can definitely see a decrease in my energy while working out

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just dying to get to 8 weeks and have my first US!!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met the old fashioned way, at a bar

JamieK1882 · February 2016

@klbell17 (lurking from Sunday ticker change)-yes I know exactly how you feel! We were trying so this pregnancy isn't a surprise, but def doesn't feel real! My LO is 15 months...how old is yours?

sparklegrump · February 2016

Ugh, TB ate my post. I'll try again later.

LMNOBaby · February 2016

Thanks @lilylover27 ! Good to know I'm not the only one! I've had continuous sore boobs, but that's about it! One morning of nausea, but I had also only gotten about 5 hours of sleep, so kind of chalked it up to just feeling off... As for the spotting, the HCG levels made me feel better, but they're getting me in for an ultrasound today to see if they can see anything. Crossing my fingers a little bean appears and eases all my worries!
