Re: PGAL check-in 3/14
No rants really though I'd love to sleep. Races: my kids are so so excited about the baby. It's a beautiful thing to watch.
Salty all the way. All the salt.
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Midwife appointment on Wednesday-- I'm mostly looking forward to hopefully hearing the heartbeat. I think the midwife will have some preliminary results from my NT scan, but I will get my second blood draw for it at that appointment.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Sending good vibes to everyone! I really oscillate between excitement and nervousness. I'm very hesitant to buy anything for this baby until we get through the anatomy scan.
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? Sweet, mostly. I'm usually all about chocolate, but switch to more fruit-flavoured/sour cravings during pregnancy, with occasional cravings for cheesy snacks.
BFP #1: 08/17/2012 DD1 born 05/01/2013
BFP #2: 07/31/2015 M/C 09/23/2015 (11.5 weeks)
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Anatomy scan is April 5th (after 22 weeks). Counting down every day!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: DH felt his first kicks last week, ever since he's been super excited. I feel like it helped him finally get to feeling like he can actually believe this whole thing is real and we will end up with a baby in the end this time. It's like he had been holding his breath and finally let it go and relaxed.
Questions?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? All the salt! I usually love a sweet now and then and lots of types of foods (Thai, Mexican, Chinese, etc) but I hate everything except super salty American food. It has not changed this whole time.
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): We have our anatomy scan on Friday! I can't wait!!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm really nervous about the ultrasound; I'm worried that something will be wrong. I'm trying really hard not to think about it though as there's nothing I can do but wait...
Questions?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy?
I usually am a sweet lover but this pregnancy I've definitely switched to salty. Salt & Vinegar chips have been a pretty consistent craving.
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to):anatomy scan next week!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: had a check up today, so happy to hear LO's heartbeat!
Questions? Nope
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? Both? Depends on the day, but probably more sweet than salty which is totally different than pre-pregnancy.
Weeks:
17w3d
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to):
Anatomy scan 4/1 and I cannot wait as I haven't felt the baby move in a couple days.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I haven't gained any weight and I am starting to freak out. I mentioned this to a couple people and they keep saying "well that's not good".....really not helping my anxiety
Questions?
Anyone else not gaining weight yet?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy?
I love both normally, though more on the sweet side. I haven't had much appetite, so couldn't tell ya!
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): I go to my monthly appointment Wednesday and I can't wait to hear the heartbeat. 3/25 is our scan - which is good Friday so I hope that is a sign!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am starting to feel more movement and that is truly comforting.
Questions?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? Salty - just finished a bag of kettle chips and they were so good!
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Anatomy scan on April 12th. I can't wait.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have been feeling her move and I love it so much. I can't wait til the movements are strong enough for DH to feel.
Questions? @mksfav - I haven't gained anything since losing 20 pounds my first trimester and the doctor is okay with it. She says as long as baby is healthy, she isn't concerned. Don't worry too much, just bring it up at the next appointment to ease your mind.
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? Mostly salty. I'll have something sweet every now and then, but even when its sweet its not decadent sweet. Its like a banana popsicle kind of sweet lol.
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Appt on Wednesday. We'll be getting a blood test and normal check up. Hopefully scheduling anatomy scan too.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Having growing pains and starting to notice my bump getting bigger, but my boobs are definitely growing faster!
Questions? This is super silly and superficial, but will my previous belly fat spread out evenly? I know I'm ridiculous!
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? At first I couldn't stand sweets but now I'm really liking them again. For some reason fruit roll ups are my favorite right now. Balancing them out has always been more important to me. Always need both!
What's next? Anatomy scan on March 31. I can't wait! I just want to see the baby again and find out that it looks healthy. It'll be a bonus to know the sex too. I also want to ask for a cervix check just because I've been feeling pressure down there and have convinced myself something is wrong. Worried my OB will think I'm crazy though since I'm not at risk for it.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm in a lot of pain! I've developed sciatica, which I've been treating with stretches, pelvic tilts and a heating pad. I see my chiropractor tomorrow. I didn't think this would happen already, then again I look huge for 18 weeks. I'm feeling a little more positive though because I can definitely feel the baby moving! It's still feeling like a flopping fish, but it's stronger than before. I can feel twitches from the outside but they're not strong enough for DH to get excited about.
Questions: Anyone else have sciatica? If so, what have you done to relieve the pain?
GTKY: pre pregnancy I loved both equally. Especially if they could be combined like pretzel m&ms. Now, however, I crave sweet all the time and rarely want salt if ever.
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to):
A/S April 7. Too far away!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm dead tired and have been putting in 12 hour days at work lately because of an emergency. I can hardly keep my eyes open.
Questions? Nope.
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy?
Mostly sweet, but also spicy! I am craving jalapeños.

What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Had our anatomy scan today. Everything looked great. Looking forward to just sailing to delivery day. We finally moved into our house and I feel like I can just take a deep breath and enjoy my family time while it's just the three of us until August.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Just sending happy positive vibes to all of you who are waiting for anatomy scans.
Questions?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? I'm a sucker for anything sweet right now. It's all I want after a meal. Now for meals I'm craving fried chicken or burgers and then dessert. Mmm mmmm mmmmm!
18w5d
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to):
A/S on Thursday along with monthly appointment. Feeling anxious, trying to hold it together, so thankful my appointment is in the morning that day.
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy?
I've definitely shifted towards only wanting salty, savory. I'm really not interested in sweets for the most part so I'll be interested to see if it's a boy.
Weeks: 19 or 20 (see below)
What's next? (milestones, appointments, something you are looking forward to): Had my anatomy scan, all was well but the baby is "big" so the doc who read the scan recommended changing my due date back to being based upon my LMP (they changed it at my 7 week ultrasound). Waiting on my OB to confirm that it what we are going to do.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Love feeling the baby move, can't wait until my DH can feel it. My regular pants officially no longer fit but it is very hard to find maternity wear if you are plus size, so that is frustrating.
Questions?
GTKY: Sweet or salty snacks? Do your preferences change during pregnancy? Depends on the day/time. For the first few months of my pregnancy all I wanted were dill pickles. ALL THE DILL PICKLES. For the last few weeks it has been fresh berries.
@jacmkelley congratulations on finally moving in to your new house!
I'm sure your OB is right and it's nothing, but don't undervalue your sanity/peace of mind!!

@JournoGrl23 go to urgent care! You will feel better. It sounds like maybe pee to me. I did this last three or four weeks of my pregnancy (and DD was 3 weeks early). It didn't have a smell or a color. And it feel like a lot to me too. I went to hospital for it at one point to just check.
Thats awesome about being able to buy ph strips from Walmart! I may try that since I would be able to test any time I'm worried. I think my OB should have seen me since it's such a simple test. I can go to urgent care but I'll have to wait until after work now. I'm going to try to get off early tonight, maybe around 11:15. We have an urgent care that's open 24/7 here. Hopefully they have the test and won't try to send me to the ER. That'll be packed for St. Patrick's Day.
On a positive (selfish) note, I got to hear baby's heartbeat today at my midwife appointment. Everything looks perfect so far.

BFP #2: 07/31/2015 M/C 09/23/2015 (11.5 weeks)
And I'm so glad you got to hear the heartbeat! That's always a reassuring and comforting thing to hear.
I know it's just one opinion of one Midwife, but it made me feel better!
Whike at work I still had discharge but the gushing kind seems to have let up. My OB said amniotic fluid would be constant. So I'm trying to relax for now. In the meantime I had DH buy some of those ph strips on his way home from work. So we'll see if that works!
