Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 5/10/16
How many weeks? I'll be 17 on Thursday
How big is baby? Almost the size of a large order of fries or a pomegranate
Upcoming appointments? I go Friday for a regular check up with my OB/gyn. This will be my first time seeing my usual doc since my big bleeding episode and I've still been having some spotting so I'm relieved this appointment is with her.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm planning to try to talk to my doc about my anxiety levels. With all the spotting and everything, I feel like I've been having a lot of trouble with it lately. I used to take Xanax for my generalized anxiety and panic attacks and have been having some trouble managing it without meds. (plus, everything else I usually use to relax i.e. wine, long hot baths, etc. is all off limits!) Hopefully she has some good suggestions, and I welcome any feedback from any of you!
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? My favorite part has been the funny reactions from older people in my family. When I went to my aunts house last week, she insisted I sit in her "good chair" and not on her old kitchen chairs, just in case. She also referred to me as a "sacred vessel" with zero irony lol I find it all hilarious and very sweet.
Least favorite is the nausea/vomitting. How am I still puking at 17 weeks? And I miss eating meat!
How many weeks? 16
How big is baby? avocado, doughnut
Upcoming appointments? nothing until my anatomy ultrasound on the 26th
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm in pregnancy limbo with my pants where they zip but don't button and maternity pants/belly band are too big to wear. Thankfully it's finally getting warm so I can wear some spring dresses!
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far?
fave: reading all the changes that are happening even though I can't see it (FTM here)
least fave: having to pee in the middle of the night bc our bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs
19 weeks today! Only one more to go before the halfway mark
How big is baby?
The size of a mango.
Upcoming appointments?
I have an appointment on the 16th, but I'm not sure exactly what they'll be doing. I wasn't set up for a U/S or Lab work so I guess we'll just see.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
I feel little man moving around in there a lot and it's awesome! I don't even mind that I am perpetually uncomfortable.
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy this far?
Favorite part is how FI and the children are so helpful and delicate towards me, least favorite is the ungodly pain my uterus puts me through every so often. Like today. Good God make it stop!
16 weeks today!
How big is baby?
An avocado, Pickle, Pear, action figure, or a fist. Again, quite the variety of comparisons.
10cm, 100g or 4.5in, 3.5oz
Upcoming appointments?
We had our 16 week (ish) appt Monday, pretty boring, no ultrasound, but we got to hear the heartbeat via doppler, measuring in the 150s. The second blood draw of my sequential screening is next week so hopefully that all goes well. And I got to schedule my anatomy scan for 20 weeks exactly.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
I still feel totally unprepared. I don't have a registry, we still need to deep clean our place and get rid of stuff, need to get a pediatrician, baby classes, we're a month away from the halfway point and it feels like we haven't done anything to prepare.
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far?
Still pretty early in the process, but I hate having to think about what I eat and drink, though I should probably be doing that more when I'm not pregnant too. So far my favorite is having something to talk about with other moms. Went to a party Saturday and talked to a friend of a friend who I never really got to know well for almost an hour about baby stuff, it was great!
How big is baby? The size of an Artichoke
Upcoming appointments? None until Anatomy Scan on the 20th
Rants/Raves/Questions: I feel light flutters here and there but would like to know for sure its the baby moving and not all in my head
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? Fave: Seeing how my body is changing is exciting, even though sometimes i feel like a cow. Least Fave: Some of the discomfort i feel at times, Specially at night when all i wanna do is rest
How big is baby? size of a pomegranate
Upcoming appointments? anatomy scan next Monday. I can't wait!
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm now obsessed/terrified of an incomplete cervix. I'm still waiting for something to go wrong.
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? my favorite part so far is daydreaming about our family growing and thinking about what having my first child will be like. My least favorite is the nausea and vomiting. So over it.
How big is baby? The size of a sweet potato.
Upcoming appointments? May 24 for my level 2 scan.
Rants/Raves/Questions: RLP is in full force here along with stretching and pulling sensations. I'm also getting sciatic nerve pain which I didn't know was possible this early on until I read the "Pain in the Butt" thread here and read an article on Ovia for 18 weeks. It sucks but it mostly comes on at night when I'm about to go to bed anyway so I'm grateful for that!
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? My favorite part is the thought that this is our rainbow baby, my least favorite part is that this rainbow baby is giving me the nausea of my life!
P.S. Sorry if this all comes out in bold. I'm mobile right now.
@scostel2 - Going for walks helps me. Just getting fresh air and getting away from everything - and a little exercise never hurts!
How many weeks? 19 weeks - @AllyTheKid - can you believe we're almost half way there?!
How big is baby? A mango
Upcoming appointments? Anatomy scan 1 week from today where we'll find out the sex! However, we won't really know until our gender reveal on the 20th...
Rants/Raves/Questions: @CaptainPhasma - I feel the same way. Now that I'm almost the 1/2 way point, I feel like I haven't done anything to prepare and I have so much left to do! But we'll get there...
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? Favorite part is starting to feel movement - it never gets old! Least favorite is not being able to sleep and leg pain in the night!
How many weeks? 17 weeks
How big is baby? Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments? My next appointment is May 17th. Not sure what's going on at that point tho.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Smooth sailing lately
GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? Favorite: Watching my belly grow; Least favorite: The constant anxiety I had in the first tri. I was driving myself and my husband crazy constantly worrying about the baby. Thankfully, the second tri has brought some relief from that.
How big is baby: avocado
Upcoming appointments: none till the 231st I have both my ultrasound (can't wait literally counting down) and a doctors appointment that evening.
Rants/raves/questions: nothing new just a mother in law spreading the fact im pregnant again for third time and that she hopes it's a girl and being fakely nice to me but talking crap to my husband about me.
GTKY: whats your favorite/least favorite part of pregnancy thus far:
Favorite; for once I've not had morning sickness and I can feel little one moving
Least favorite: the pressure I feel when im sleeping and constant bathroom in the middle of the night (Isn't that supposed to be much later? I dont remember it being this early)
How many weeks? 17!How big is baby? Pomegranate Upcoming appointments? Not until the 25th, but I need to change it cause I won't be home.Rants/Raves/Questions: I've felt so good lately, I wonder if it's a boy pregnancy thing? I felt like crap with my girls, feel great this time and the only change is it's a boy. GTKY: What's your favorite and least favorite part of pregnancy thus far? My favourite- The girls are so excited, they always want to know if the baby can come out yet. My least fav- it gets worse with each pregnancy it seems (this is my last, so I know I can make it one last time) but it's the ligament pain. It's not fun sometimes it bothers me a lot, and I'm not even big yet.
