How many weeks and how big is baby? 15 weeks, and baby is the size of a navel orange.
Current symptoms? Growing/Stretching pains, RLP, and my appetite is returning with a ravenous vengeance- it's a shame I can't eat as much in one sitting as I think I can at the time!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I got nothin'. I'll wait for Twatwaffle Tuesday to rant
GTKY: What's a unique quality about your SO that you love? I have a love/hate relationship with this, but my FI is literally a jack of all trades, leaning more on the master of all trades, I've never seen him NOT be able to do something and do it GREAT. It's definitely handy that he is so skilled and talented in so many ways but the caveat is he is not at all humble about it and nothing irritates me more than that.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 14 wks Hellooooooo Second trimester, I've been waiting for you!!!! Beanie is the size of a Peach now
Current symptoms? Thankfully my Nausea has decreased a bit, i still have this annoying Phlegm that makes me gag every 2 mins, i did some research and it turns out that the phlegm/gagging is pretty normal in some pregnant women. Most say it doesnt go away until the 16-20 week mark. (Im keeping my FX for 16 wks) Besides that, just some upper bach aches.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Wish we had comfier chairs at work, maybe some with better back support.
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality about your SO that you love?Everyone thinks he is such a serious person, but behind closed doors he is a major goofball and always keeps me laughing, specially when he randomly gets up and starts dancing, even without music. I love that i get to see that side of him.
*Lurking* OMG @zuzu87 I thought it was just me with the gagging! It recently just started last week and it's been HORRIBLE. I've almost gotten sick so many times because of it. I thought it was reminisce of the bronchitis i had over a week ago. Well now I know. Lets hope it goes away for us!
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
How many weeks and how big is baby? 13 weeks, Clownfish
Current symptoms? RLP, very light brown spotting/ light brown CM
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have an appointment today to see about the brown spotting I've been having for about 4 days now. It's so light that I almost feel silly for having them work me in, but it's been accompanied by a dull ache in my cervix and the combination of the two has got me nervous.
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? I'm not sure this qualifies as unique, but it's one of my favorite things about him- he's always chill about everything. Bad news never phases him. The first year we were married, he messed up his filing status for our taxes and we owed over $5,000.00 at the end of the year. I FREAKED out and he was like, "it's cool, we'll pay it, don't worry" and we did and I shouldn't have worried lol. I'm convinced the sky could literally be caving in and he would remain calm and figure out a solution.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 12 weeks, the size of a chicken nugget
Current symptoms? Ugh, I'm still throwing up like 5 times a day. Today has been particularly bad. I'm going back to the doc Friday and will beg for drugs so I can be a normal person.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just got back from vacation and can already use another one. I feel like such a debbie downer all the time (especially since i dealt with IF and wanted to badly to get pregnant) but I'm just so tired of not feeling good. =(
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? He is just so incredibly loyal. He's one of those people who would do anything for the people he loves and it never ceases to amaze me. He's running a marathon with a friend, and his friend hates doing the long runs alone. So he's running 23 miles in the rain today because no other days this week work for their schedules to run together and he doesn't want his friend to have to do it alone.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 15 weeks, navel orange
Current symptoms? Hungry all the time, tired (waiting for the 2nd trimester energy to kick in!), congestion, forgetfulness, RLP, and light brown spotting.
Rants/Raves/Questions? OMG @CopperBoom86! I am experiencing the same thing!! Day 3 for me, accompanied by light cramping. My doctor is having me come in this morning. I feel the same way - like I'm probably freaking out for nothing, but I'd rather be assured that everything is okay (especially since I don't have another appointment for 2 weeks). Positive thoughts for both of us! Let me know how your appointment goes...
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? He has the biggest of any person I know. He would help ANYONE in need (without them even asking) and always has concern for others. He will do things where he knows he gets nothing in return except for the gratification of helping someone. Makes me feel like a slacker human being sometimes!
How many weeks and how big is baby? 14 weeks and 3.4 inches! (So over these comparisons, they don't ever seem accurate)
Current symptoms? I'm all good, no complaints. Except that I really don't look pregnant yet and I think it's going to take awhile..sad.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just happy that 70 degree weather is on most of the 10-day forecast!
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love?
I can't get this to unbold. But my SO is the only guy I became best friends with instantly. His personality is hilarious and crazy. He's actually the only guy I've ever dated, which didn't happen until MUCH persistence on his side. Gonna be an AW with a pic.
@lilbabybrown - I'm glad I'm not the only one with his issue. Doctor google told me it could be anything from a normal symptom to a cervix infection to the start of an incompetent cervix. The last of which, of course, completely freaked me out. Good luck at your appointment! Keep us posted!
My appointment is at 11am central time. I'll post an update afterwards.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 13 weeks, size of a lemon, clown fish, etc
Current symptoms? Pregnancy rage is real. Some RLP, nausea is lessening, dizziness at times and my favorite, insomnia.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I want to freaking sleep at night!
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love?
My husband is the most generous person with a huge heart. The other day he paid for a woman's groceries because she didn't have enough money. I'm being stubborn about the expensive baby furniture I want, and he is letting me have my way. I don't know how I got so lucky to have him in my life.
@sportiegrl1213 Its Horrible!!! And even worst in the mornings on an empty stomach! I have to get up an extra five minutes earlier in the morning just try to get it all out of my system. I wouldnt wish it on anyone. FX that we get through this as soon as possible!!
How many weeks and how big is baby? 12 weeks, but 11wks 7days according to the new bump app update Haha
Current symptoms? queasiness has subsided and i haven't napped in three days! But sore boobs are still there.
Rants/Raves/Questions? going for my NT scan thurs and my 12 wk appt fri. Big baby week!
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? he has no problem being his weird self around me which in turn lets my weird flag fly positive thoughts and fingers crossed for you both, @copperboom86 and @lilbabybrown!
@szwill86We are appointment twins! I also have my NT Thursday and then a regular appointment with the gestational diabetes test Friday. Hope it goes well!
Okay guys, I just got back from the doctor. Turns out I have a very small subchorionic hemorrhage and my doctor thinks that is the source of my spotting. It's so small that they didn't even think it was worth mentioning at the first ultrasound. She is all but certain that it will resolve on its own and not cause any real problems.
She also examined and measured my cervix and everything looks perfect, so the cervix pain is considered normal at this point.
@CopperBoom86, @LGW2015, @zuz87, @szwill86 - The positive thoughts helped! Heard the heartbeat - thank goodness!! He did a pelvic exam and couldn't find any issues. Going to the hospital for an ultrasound this afternoon (my clinic doesn't do ultrasounds) so they can try and figure out what caused the bleeding. My first ultrasound! Can't wait to finally see my little peanut!!!
All was good at the ultrasound - they're not sure what caused the bleeding. Just told me to take it easy and abstain from sex. Which, truthfully, is fine by me these days... Will post an ultrasound pic in the other thread.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 12 weeks the size of a plum / apricot / french macaron / toy soldier / dwarf robo hamster / none of these size comparisons make sense anymore
Current symptoms? I thought I was done with nausea and then this past Saturday I got hit bad and barged more than I have the whole pregnancy so far, tell me morning sickness goes away in the 2nd trimester.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Next week is part 1 of my anueploidy screening, I still don't quite understand the difference between that and the NT scan and DNA tests, but I'm going with what the doc recommends.
GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? He is so insanely smart, but he isn't full of himself, it's an amazing balance. We've been together for the better part of a decade and we can still talk together for hours on any random topic. I've known a lot of smart people, but none as humble and earnest as he is. He's gonna make a great dad.
How many weeks and how big is baby? 14 weeks and the size of a troll doll! (Thanks, Ovia Pregnancy lol) Current symptoms? The nausea is calming down but will still rear its ugly head from time to time. And the fatigue! I hope the 2nd tri means all this will dissipitate. I have a one year old to take care of! Rants/Raves/Questions? I got back the results of my Down Syndrome numbers and they were, "normal but in the high range of normal" so I went back for another test and am now waiting for the results. Either way, I love the heck out of this baby and he or she will be a blessing so I leave it in God's hands. But we're Team Green and the nurse was like, "You know, they're going to ask you if you want to know the sex." And I felt the itch, guys, I felt the itch! GTKY: What's a unqiue quality abut your SO that you love? How incredibly considerate and compassionate he is. He's my best friend and I couldn't get on without him.
