Weeks: 17w6d

Next milestone/appointment? June 30 is when my previous pregnancy was due so I'm anticipating next week being hard. My next appt is July 6 and it's an u/s so I'm hoping that looking forward to that will get me through this last milestone!

Rant/Rave/Anything else: My boobs have finally grown some! I think I'm finally an actual bra size (I'm normally AA, or "nearly" A). My hubby has been appreciating my new cleavage.

Questions? Can't think of any...

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I think Emma Watson or Jennifer Lawrence

Weeks: 17w3d

Next milestone/appointment? OB appointment June 30. A/S July 6

Rant/Rave/Anything else: Finally starting to feel definate movement. I've been questioning it for the past week, b/c it hasn't felt like the typically fluttering but more like a rolling feeling. Today, however, I know what I was feeling was baby.

Questions? no

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I really have no idea...maybe Jennifer Lawrence

Weeks: 21

Next milestone/appointment? July 5th OB checkup.

Rant/Rave/Anything else: baby kicks are amazing and I'm so incredibly happy to be at this point!

Questions? Not at the moment

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I got told several times when I was younger that I looked like Winona Ryder so probably her... or some obscure, unknown actress that no one recognizes yet?

khartnell · June 2016

Weeks: 17

Next milestone/appointment? A/S 7/13

Rant/Rave/Anything else: pregnancy has made me lactose intolerant...which is a drag...I had big dreams of eating pints of ice cream at 2am.

Questions? I wish someone could explain in detail what a kick feels like. It's killing me to not know if the little muscle spasms I feel were actually little kicks. Although I did have a VERY odd double thump in my stomach one morning...but to be honest it could have been gas.

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? Emma Stone? We look nothing alike, but I like her tone. Easy A is one of my favorite movies.

@khartnell- I get a few different feelings. I feel little pokes, which feel exactly like tiny pokes. And then I feel this weird rolling motion - kind of like a very miniature version of being on a rollercoaster. I really only feel things when I am sitting alone, quietly, and paying attention. I know what I am feeling is baby, because I sometimes pull out the Doppler and check the spot, and i always get a heartbeat. Otherwise it's hard to tell. But I tend to assume any weird feeling, that's different from normal, is probably baby at this point (18.5 weeks).

CecilTheBear · June 2016

19 weeks - almost halfway!

Next milestone : a/s on Monday

Rants /raves: I really need to get on the registry th in g! Family is starting to ask and I have like 5 things on there.

Who would play me? If they don't have to look like me, then I want Beyonce to play me. I mean, of course I do.

MollySm · June 2016

Weeks: 18w 4d

Next milestone/appointment? I had an appointment this morning. Baby was so cute, sleeping with it's little hand right under it's chin. My doc said that starting at my next regular appt, we'll probably just use the Doppler. I've had an ultrasound every time so far, which has been awesome. I have my a/s on July 5th. I am so ready to find out if it's a boy or girl, and to get a good long look at everything!

Rant/Rave/Anything else: I am flying with my 2 year old to South Carolina tomorrow. I told my doc today and of course she freaked me out about blood clots. I took a baby aspirin today.

Questions? Nope

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? I have no idea. Emma Stone maybe.

lajoliedreamer · June 2016

@khartnell I am 18w2d and haven't really felt anything I can identify as baby. I had one maybe feeling, but it very definitely could have been gas. Also - so sad about the lactose intolerance! I've been limited on dairy too because of allergies/mucus and have been eating Trader Joe's soy vanilla ice cream. I find it just as indulgent feeling as the real stuff and, being vanilla, I can top it with anything - chocolate, honey roasted peanuts, rainbow sprinkles or whatever else Baby Rex wants at the moment!

@CecilTheBear I haven't even started a registry so you're ahead of me!

Sorry if my intro is too long, it's my first Pgal post.

My name is Katie, I'm due November 17th, ttc for 8 years, 3 MC, and married for 9 years. My new OB tested me for everything that could have cause my multiple MCs unlike my old one. She found I have very low progesterone. I was put on medication as soon as I got a + to make sure the levels were where they need to be and will remain on it until delivery.

I waited to become active (instead of just being a lurker) on TB/PGAL because I thought I would lose the baby due to spotting during the whole first timester. I just couldn't let myself get too excited until I felt like the baby would be okay. Thank goodness I haven't had any since 12 weeks! I finally feel like I can relax some and enjoy this pregnancy, expecially those sweet little baby kicks!

Weeks: 19w1d

Next milestone/appointment? Monday is my anatomy scan, I can't wait! I've already had an elective gender scan at 17 weeks and they are 80% sure it's a girl

Rant/Rave/Anything else: I had a great appt. on Tuesday. I love hearing my little ones heart beat! The only slight rant I have is my torso is so short. My uterus is well past my bellybutton already, but I am only measuring 2 weeks ahead. I have the feeling I am going to be all belly very soon.

Questions? None right now

GTKY: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? Let's see, I guess I would have to say, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen...My DH says I look like her.

lajoliedreamer · June 2016

@katiemw86 Welcome! I also have a short torso and feel like I'm already all belly - I couldn't believe how fast I bumped out when this board was full of people complaining about no bump and I'm trying to figure out how to keep hiding mine (which I've since given up on). Love that you brought up Tiffani, she's one of those actresses I always love but never think about with questions like this!
