I guess I'll rant over the fact that it really sucks to be pregnant and fasting. Grrrr blood tests.

Aversion: coffee, craving: steak and cheese subs.

How big is baby? Pygmy seahorse

Appointments this week? Not this week

Symptom changes? I've been super hungry in the morning and at lunch and then after I eat lunch I'm full for the rest of the day and barely want dinner.

Rant/Rave/Questions? Can't really think of anything right now. Maybe that I'm (probably irrationally) annoyed at a temp that told me 30 mins ago she can't come in today even though she knows she's scheduled to help me on 2 very important calls. She apparently has a job interview which is good but I can't believe it came up 30 mins ago. You couldn't have emailed me last night so I could put a backup plan together? Ugh, I think I'm just more ragey because of the hormones.

GTKY: During this pregnancy, what has been your biggest aversion and biggest craving? I've been eating a lot of PB&J which I hadn't had in years. I don't think I've really had any aversions though.

How big is baby? jelly bean

Appointments this week? had my first appointment yesterday.

Symptom changes? I'm still nauseous and tired, but now I'm extremely moody.

Rant/Rave/Questions? My kids decided they needed to get up at 6 this morning just to cry and whine. And they've been whining ALL MORNING and refuse to take a morning nap now. (They don't take morning naps but THEY NEED ONE lol) I can't go into another room or sit in a different spot without both having a complete meltdown. Of course being hormonal doesn't help either. I wish I could drink more coffee to keep my sanity today. Ack!!!!

GTKY: During this pregnancy, what has been your biggest aversion and biggest craving? I don't have any cravings yet. I am still having a hard time eating meat.

How big is baby?

Strawberry or prune

Appointments this week?
none

Symptom changes?
I've been taking daily naps. I really hate napping it messes with my day but I just can't function and so I sit down then end up asleep within seconds.

Rant/Rave/Questions?
I don't currently have wifi or unlimited data and this app is eating an absurdly high amount of data!!!

GTKY: During this pregnancy, what has been your biggest aversion and biggest craving?
I normally love chicken but I really don't like it at all right now. I've been craving beef!! Roast, steak, burgers. All I've actually eaten beef is burgers or hamburger mixed in dinners like spaghetti but I've got a roast on my mind 24/7 Yum.

How big is baby?

The size of a lemon

Appointments this week?

Nope

Symptom changes?

A little less sick, tons of heartburn

Rant/Rave/Questions?
My husbands grandmother (who has proved her lack of knowledge concerning raising babies) keeps telling my husbands family that I shouldn't pick up my toddler because I will for sure have a miscarriage. If she says anything to me I plan to ask if she is going to follow me around carrying my very clingy kid so that I never have to pick her up

How big is baby? Medium green olive

Appointments this week? Today! After waiting 4 weeks, it was kind of anticlimactic.

Symptom changes? The ferrous sulfate supplement is binding. Perf.

Rant? So, my first pre-natal appointment was today and it wasn't as reassuring as I was hoping it would be. She used the doppler to try to find a heartbeat, prefacing the exercise with "it's totally normal to not find the heartbeat at 9 weeks with the doppler". Nada but my own heartbeat. Reading the doppler thread on this board did help to alleviate some of my anxiety, but still. Blergh. I'm also re-playing things in my mind, like when she said "and you're sure of your dates?". I go back in five weeks for my second appointment, I'll be 13/14 weeks at that point. I really don't want to spend the next five weeks as a total ball of anxiety, but I don't have high hopes for this FTM who is already neurotic about most things.

GTKY: During this pregnancy, what has been your biggest aversion and biggest craving? biggest craving: Honey Nut Cheerios! Also, anything that is suggested on the What is my pregnant self eating thread. I'm so impressionable. The only aversions I have are texture related -- the thought of thick, pasty soups. Nope, nope, nope.

pickle-chips · July 2016

@CurlyCupcake21 yum! PB&J on super soft wonder bread sounds amazing right now. So do steaks, @concreteangell and @kswiger06! Give me all the foods.

How far along are you? 8 weeks

How big is baby? Raspberry

Appointments this week? Tomorrow morning I have my second ultrasound, and prenatal work up. I am nervous.

Symptom changes? I am more and more nauseous, bloated and burping constantly. I have a hard time swallowing pills. My boobs seem less sore this week.

Rant/Rave/Questions? If we tell the kids tomorrow, I am hoping that will be a ravery. They are going to be excited! I guess my rant is that I had to turn down like 6 offers of a Margarita tonight at a work thing without explaining why. Drop it coworkers!

GTKY: During this pregnancy, what has been your biggest aversion and biggest craving

No real aversions, just needing to have bland snacks frequently or nothing sounds good. Craving I haven't indulged is big tossed salad like they make at my favorite restaurants.

@floatingelephy I had my first 2 at a young age. I had no clue to be concerned at all because I was doing everything I needed to do... now I know it's not that simple. But if it helps any, with my second, they couldn't hear a heart beat at my first visit, I was ok with it cause I thought oh ok that's just how it goes. I had to wait for an ultrasound at 11 weeks. Then once I was there I was measuring a week behind, again I thought no big deal. Basically bottom line is that everything turned out fine and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl and was full term. In the beginning things don't always go as smooth as we want but that doesn't always mean we should worry, panic, or get stressed. I think it sucks you have to wait so long for better confirmation but as long as you are not experiencing any signs to suggest something worse you can just take a breath and try to enjoy all these weird and crazy pregnancy things!! I wish you the best and hope you can stay positive in this crazy world of waiting, waiting, waiting.

@kswiger06 thanks, lady! Making me cry on the bus (I blame the hormones). It definitely helps to have other mums offer their experience. I'm the first of my friends to get pregnant, so this bmb is keeping me sane. Well, mostly sane.

kswiger06 · July 2016

@floatingelephy I'm always here if you want to talk about anything. And it seems like a lot of women on here are eager to help or offer words from their experience. And I think we all go a little batty during pregnancy haha
