Steelerfan78 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 9 weeks tomorrow, Feb 14th

How are you feeling? a lot better than I expected

R/R/Other: Had my second US this morning. Got to hear the HB (170) and measured right on schedule at 8+6.

Questions: none

GTKY: Grew up on only miracle whip, but have acquired a taste for mayo since living with H.

MonaLisaRalphio · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 7+5, EDD 2/22. Date changed last week at my US.

How are you feeling? Symptoms really come and go. I've stopped worrying about it, though, which is nice.

R/R/Other: here's a fun fact: jumping into a very cold lake made me super nauseated today. I wonder if that's a pregnancy thing or an I'm-wimpy thing.

Questions: anyone else getting stretch marks on your boobs already? Mine are so ugly.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Miracle whip is absolutely disgusting.

LadyBrettAshley23 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 8+4, 2/16/17

How are you feeling? Still horrible, guys! All day sickness. I'm throwing up less after 4 or 5 days on diclegis, but I'm still nauseous all day and fighting throwing up almost all day. I'm an emotional wreck because of how bad I feel.

R/R/Other: I have my 1st prenatal appointment this week. I'm so excited!

Questions: None today.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Neither!! Gross question, @Steelerfan78!! You almost made me throw up, girl. Maybe not a good 1st tri question!!!

@MonaLisaRalphio I'm not having stretch marks yet but I've been worried about them on my boobs. I've been rubbing Burt's Bees Belly Butter and Neutrogena body oil all over my body and especially my boobs when I get out of the shower. It feels good and the smell helps with smell aversions too.

Kenya715 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 10 weeks tomorrow - 2/7

How are you feeling? Better with occasional bouts of MS. Boobs still hurt. Vivid dreams almost every night.

R/R/Other: It's our anniversary today! Going to get tapas at a nice spot down the street tonight. We went to the beach for the weekend and it was nice to relax and just be. I'm getting more comfortable with the idea this pregnancy is really happening and we are talking about it more freely.

Questions: I'm good.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Mayo - I learned how to make it at home and won't ever go back. It's INCREDIBLY easy and cheap and tastes the best. If you still buy it at the store, I highly recommend making it yourself.

Steelerfan78 · July 2016

Sorry @LadyBrettAshley23 !

LadyBrettAshley23 · July 2016

@Steelerfan78 Haha, no worries. I have a general aversion to mayo so I think it's just worse now!

musicinmysoul17 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 10w3d EDD 2/3/17 (that may change tomorrow)

How are you feeling? Pretty good, just SUPER tired and easily winded and hungry.

R/R/Other: I'm so excited for my appointment tomorrow morning! It's finally here!!

Questions: Last night my H was working but he got to come home early, so he got home around 4:15am. After that I had a hard time going and staying asleep until my alarm went off. At one point I was laying on my back and dozed off only to wake up to change positions. When I did, I realized my legs were numb. Isn't it too early for that? I don't sleep on my back much but that surprised me this morning.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Definitely mayo.

@MonaLisaRalphio I have It was the weirdest thing because I was going to bed one night a couple weeks ago and my boobs itched really bad, which was weird. I got up and looked at them in the mirror and there were big, red stretch marks on the underside of both. They looked like popped blood vessels everywhere! I may have had a small breakdown because it came on all of a sudden. I got some bio oil and have been using it because they still itch and my nipples hurt after rubbing in my bra but the marks went away.

MrsDramaK · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 7+5, 2/22/17

How are you feeling? Nauseated, Tired, Hungry, all of the things really.

R/R/Other: My coworkers are assholes. One of them just complained to the boss about me and the boss told them that they were being way oversensitive. I know I am a millennial, but geez millennials are such babies.

Questions: Anyone else constantly craving protein?

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Mayo. Which makes me want a tomato and mayo sandwich really bad. Damn Gluten Allergy.

varimama · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? 7+5 / 2/22/17

How are you feeling? Pretty much have nausea all day, plus I'm exhausted and my boobs hurt.

R/R/Other: DH and I didn't get home until 2:30am Saturday night (technically Sunday morning) and because of that I was just a waste of space yesterday. I basically woke up ate, took a nap, woke up watched TV, took a nap, dinner, TV bed... But then I didn't sleep well last night because of all the sleep yesterday. No naps for me tonight so hopefully I sleep well!

Also not pregnancy related but I hate when you're out with people and planning on splitting the check and they end up picking it all up despite your insistence. I mean on one hand yes it's very nice of them but on the other hand I feel crappy (especially because nausea prevented me from eating most of what I ordered...) and I feel bad for the waitress b/c one guy is saying I've got it all and I'm saying no he doesn't.

Questions: Anyone else's boobs hurt more as the day goes on? I was reading that it's good to wear a bra to bed to give them more support but I think the bra is adding to the hurt because I wake up with mild soreness and by the time I go to bed and pull my bra off I feel like someone just punched me in the boobs all day...

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Mayo definitely!

@Kenya715 you might want to be careful with homemade mayo, I was reading that store packaged is OK but depending on how you make it the eggs in it might have salmonella (same reason to fully cook the yolks before eating eggs) unless you are using pasteurized eggs. Or I might just be being overly cautious. But also HAPPY Anniversary!

@MrsDramaK I wish I was craving protein, the only things that seem to sound good to me are carbs...

MrsDramaK · July 2016

@marriedhamstermom I crave carbs, but I have a gluten allergy (not severe, but I get itchy and headaches) and there's some correlation between gluten intolerance --> eating gluten anyway --> infertiliy/loss, so I'm Gluten Free until this LO is birthed, but I would kill for a buttered dinner roll, but no wheat for me so boo (have a roll for me and I'll have some steak for you?). Also re: boobage soreness, I find with an underwire bra it's just worse, but if I sleep in a slightly loose sports bra I wake up in a lot less pain.

joyful08 · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD?
10 weeks 5 days. 2/1/17

How are you feeling?
Nauseous, tired, gross

R/R/Other:
I made pumpkin pancakes today for breakfast and felt like a rebel. I just love fall and can't wait for it to get here.

Questions:
Is this second trimester energy boost really a thing or just urban legend? Because I want it so bad.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip?
Neither. Ever. Gross.

@MonaLisaRalphio sadly I am already getting stretch marks too

@MrsDramaK I also crave protein. all I want is a big piece of chicken or some turkey or something. Delish.

@marriedhamstermom my boobs hurt bad by the end of the day too and they feel much better once I take my bra off. I think sleeping in a bra would be awful.

Sounds like a deal

cinderin · July 2016

How far along are you? EDD? EDD 2/15 almost 9 weeks

How are you feeling? tired and nauseous

R/R/Other: eh. I need the naps.

Questions:

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? yes.

cinderin · July 2016

Yup, second Tri is better.

first tri sucks because you feel like crap 24/7

second tri is better and you feel kicks

third tri is worse than second because you're just uncomfortable all the time (can't sleep, got to pee every hour)

then you have a newborn and you never sleep again ;-)

cinderin · July 2016

totally did this check in thinking it was the pgal one. kind of exactly how my day has been.

CoonMom · July 2016

Late again....I'm taking over for my KU coworker who is due Saturday so I'm been extremely busy at work; plus not always feeling the greatest.

How far along are you? EDD? 8+6 EDD 2-16

How are you feeling? This week has been 95% better than last. Most days I feel great:) A little nausea but keeping most things down.

R/R/Other: So when my KU coworker announced and my manager started planning for her leave I wasn't the one going to be covering. It wasn't until last week the change was made. AHHHH! A couple of days to learn her job. I'm so stressed; mostly because another coworker is going out in Sept and I will most likely be covering for her as well. They should only overlap a week or two but talk about stress!!

Questions:
1. My legs have been sore in the mornings and after sitting for long stretches at work, is this pregnancy related/normal?
2. What do you guys recommend for face wash/moisturizer? My old ones have ingredients not recommended for KU ladies.

GTKY: Mayo or Miracle Whip? Neither....I like all my sandwiches and such plain!! I'm a very picky eater.

catiecatp · July 2016

@MrsDramaK - sorry lurking - but I'm GF too and wanted to mention that Udi's has some frozen dinner rolls (called Classic French Dinner Rolls) that you cook/heat up in the oven that are so good DH will eat them willingly and says they don't taste like cardboard. They aren't cheap but they might hit the spot right now...

varimama · July 2016

@CoonMom I started using cetaphil once I read the salcilyic acid was bad during pregnancy. My acne is definitely worse though. I also use burt's bees facial towelettes to clean off my face if it feels a bit grimy mid day or to remove makeup. I used to use clearasil acne wipes but again those had salcilyic acid.

MonaLisaRalphio · July 2016

@coonmom I use Simple's foaming face wash and Bayberry Naturals' rosehip and hibiscus moisturizer! I've actually used both since well before I got KU, but they're continuing to work for me. I've had to go up to washing my face 2-3 times per day, from 1-2 times a day. I'm also washing my pillowcases like twice a week. I've always had good skin, but pregnancy has been really messing with me, and the acne is not funny. The new routine does seem to help.

MrsDramaK · July 2016

@catiecatp I've had Udi's bagels! They're pretty good! I'll have to check out what else they have.
