Re: PGAL check-in 4/11
-19weeks and anatomy scan last week measured baby at 9oz!
How are you feeling mentally and physically?
-Physically, I'm doing okay. I still have really rough moments that come daily but they don't last long.
-Mentally, I'm doing pretty good. All genetic test came back great and anatomy scan showed no issues so that gives be comfort. Baby girl is measuring ahead and is very active. I feel her daily now!
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to?
-I have an appointment next Tuesday at 20w1d! Yay for almost halfway!
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"?
-My go-to me time is a Starbucks drink and a trip to hobby lobby. Sounds boring but it's relaxing and I enjoy it.
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Physically I've got more energy, but am having some cramping. I'm trying to chalk to up to 'normal' aches and pains since it's not that bad and there's no blood, but it's hard. Mentally I'm starting to get worked up again. It's been two weeks since my last appt and a little less than two weeks until my next and not having any confirmation that everything is ok in the meantime is starting to get to me. Plus, I'm "old" now so we're waiting on the genetic testing and the level 2 u/s in a few weeks. The anticipation is getting to me. All the 'what if's' are creeping in and I hate that!
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? Appt next week and still waiting for movement.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? Yesterday I went to target, and walked up and down all the aisles twice, while sipping my iced coffee. It was so nice!
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Mentally, I'm getting a little anxious. I really wish I could feel baby moving. I think next week's appt will calm my nerves. Physically, I'm doing ok overall, but I did get another migraine yesterday afternoon which included vomitting and it still is with me today.
Upcoming appts? Next Tuesday! 20 week appt with anatomy scan.
GTKY: What is your go to "me time"? If I can get out of the house, I love to get myself a pedicure or aimlessly wander Target. I love to shop, but Target is my standby. If I'm in the house, I love perusing social media. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest.
Keeping @fiorip in my prayers. I really hate that she's going through another loss.
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Physically, pretty good. Nothing really terrible, so I can't complain. Mentally, I'm not bad. I think I finally felt baby move yesterday, but I'm trying to stay detached until I feel it a few more times. It might have just been gas.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? Anatomy scan on 4/26 - only 15 days! Or still 15 days...depending on how I'm feeling at a given moment.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? Reading, watching HGTV or sci-fi shows, or cooking. I also really like to play video games with DH and our friends, but that doesn't always work as "me-time", because of the social interaction involved.
How are you feeling mentally and physically? I wish seeing the weeks add up eased my PGAL brain but I just get more and more anxious with time. I find myself overthinking everything I do and always looking for blood when I go to the restroom. I feel like this isn't real for me. I'm getting more cramps, too. We saw a contraction at an ultrasound a couple weeks ago (they said totally normal BH) and I realized that's the tightening feeling I'd been having since pretty early on. It freaked me out because I used to think it was a BM coming on but now I get nervous every time I get them, which is a few times a day. Now I also get a little menstrual-like cramps once every few days and it scares me! DH tells me I wouldn't feel this way if it wasn't for our loss and I think he's absolutely right.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? A/S in ten days!
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? I don't do it very often but I love being on the couch with a treat like Starbucks or a milkshake and watching TV or reading.

How are you feeling mentally and physically? Physically: Great. Mentally: I've been upset (not mad, but just ill at ease) by FB baby announcements the past week. None of which are early / first tri announcements, they're perfection happy moments in friends lives. I'm frustrated that I'm not more unequivocally excited about my pregnancy, that I still have emotional reservations. And I worry that baby can sense that tension, which is probably silly.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? Tomorrow for a regular check in. I'm really looking forward to some reassurance this week.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? I know not everyone is a fan of Shonda Rhimes, but I love doing laundry and watching Grey's Anatomy. I feel productive, get to watch mindless, overly dramatic situations, and neither my daughter or husband want to join me. It's awesome.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 18w3d - Artichoke??
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Physically okay, weird pains down yonder sometimes but went to dr today and cervical check came back okay so she's sending sample out for UTI testing. Still makes me anxious but hoping for the best and trying not to google. I'm still waiting for some "gotcha" to come along and take cutie pie from us. My daughter is so excited for a sibling that I don't want to let her down.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? Anatomy scan in two weeks! Trying to convince DH to find out the gender since we had planned on being team green but now I'm curious since I can feel movement.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? Reading or taking a nap. I'm boring but that's all I want lately. Quiet time and no to do list.
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Feeling pretty good lately
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? Appointment and anatomy scan next Wednesday
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? Lately I don't get a whole lot of that, but when it is warm enough I would say going for walks around town or in the woods are my "me time" even if I have DS with me, he is content and doesn't make a peep the whole time.
BFP #1 5/5/13 MC confirmed 5/9/13
BFP #5 5/16/18 EDD 1/29/19
How are you feeling mentally and physically? Mentally: i'm pretty excited, we found out we are having a girl and i couldn't be more happy. I feel like this news has helped me refocus on this pregnancy and i'm really starting to try and get my eating under control. Which leads me to Physically: I'm still getting nauseous in the evenings and dinner is just a difficult meal for me that i sometimes miss. I'm trying to eat more (and healthier) foods during the day when i'm feeling good and will maybe do salads or smoothies for dinner...that is the plan for this week. back to Mentally: at this point with my last pregnancy i was fine that nothing was going to happen. However, with this one i feel like it's just too perfect, that i'm getting what i wanted (a boy and then a little girl) and that this is my perfect little family i dreamed of and i just can't believe my dreams are coming true. So i'm still second guessing that things are fine (which has been confirmed by my doc appointment last friday...everything is great).
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? My next appointment is April 21st, it's the anatomy scan. I'm hoping this appointment will show that baby girl is doing great and is healthy and will help ease my mind. I'm also looking forward to clear baby kicks/movements. Right now i think i'm feeling the baby (and have been for a few weeks now) but still not 100% sure if it's baby or digestion.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? Yoga...I've found a great prenatal yoga class on sundays. I try to go frequently but unfortunately i'm lucky if i go once a month. But i'll take what i can get!
How are you feeling mentally and physically? I am really sad for fiorip, like I know everyone else is. It does seem sort of like a harsh reminder that anything can happen. Physically I am ok, have had a couple of days where I am feeling a little nauseous again. I had to take the train out of the airport on Tuesday and I actually threw up at a random train station (I got off and back on in consideration of my fellow passengers). I think a lot of that was heat and motion though.
Oh also, is anyone else having trouble sleeping? My hip pain wakes me up every couple of hours. It sucks.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? I was thinking my AS was this week but it's actually Monday. I am really very excited and trying not to be at all nervous about that. All of the tests so far have been great and I can feel the baby moving now (totally weird), so I should have every reason to be optimistic.
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? I like to space out on the couch with my dogs and read. I am a crazy dog lady, and they are my stress relief even when they are acting up
How many weeks and how big is baby? 19 weeks 4 days/size of a mango
How are you feeling mentally and physically?
Mentally:- Things are a lot better, I worry less about whether something wrong will happen to baby and have stopped completely searching on Google 'the chances of MC at .... weeks.
Looking forward to finding out the sex this Fri and the a/s. I believe this will help me bond with baby even more being able to put a name to him/her.
Physically:- I'm EXHAUSTED! For the past week ive been moving house and working looking after 2 children plus staying at my in-laws and dealing with the misfortunes that they are facing recently.
I just want to be in my own home...! But good news is that we move in tomorrow so can slowly but surely settle in and prep for baby's nursery as well as the rest of the house.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to? 20 week appointment and a/s scan on Fri!
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"? I love to pamper myself when I have the spare money, look good, feel good I say... So either getting my nails and/or hair done is my 'me time'
If indoors then it would be lounging around either on social media and/or Netflix catching up on my US programmes.
ETA thank you for the support and the kindness, for allowing me to share my experiences and for sharing yours like open books, even though it is so hard to talk about it.

18w3d, Artichoke, 5.6 inches
How are you feeling mentally and physically?
Mentally, I'm much more relaxed and not as worried since I got a doppler. I still can't help but have a PGAL brain but having the doppler does ease my mind. Physically, I'm doing okay...with the baby growing each week, it's definitely starting to feel uncomfortable with backaches and pressure on my bladder. I am feeling the baby move more often as of late. However, I suffer from bad allergies this time of year so between that and the pressure on my bladder that makes me go to the bathroom frequently, I have been a little sleep deprived.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to?
Finally have my anatomy scan this week on Friday! So anxious and excited!
GTKY: What is your go-to "me time"?
Lately, it has been shopping - Target, Home Goods, the mall and sometimes Babies R Us just to browse around.
Also, let's keep *fiorip in our thoughts and prayers as she delivered her sweet baby boy last night.

How are you feeling mentally and physically?
Physically round ligament pain is no joke and hard time getting comfortable at night. Mentally I'm getting better. I have struggled with body image issues and gaining weight/getting bigger has been an issue for me. Now that I'm actually starting to show and not just look bloated I am starting to feel better.
Next appointment or milestone you are looking forward to?
Possibly finding out what we are having. Well the boyfriend will find out and I'll find out at the gender reveal party he wants to throw for me. He is so awesome. Not have major ultrasound until 24 weeks. Looking so forward to that one. Oh and I believe I felt the baby move/kick while typing this
