How many weeks are you?
19! Almost halfway there!

How big is baby this week?
Mango.

Any appointments this week?
Not until the 25th, but we are going to the Prego Expo (yes, that's the name of the expo) on Sunday, so hopefully we can get a free 3D/4D ultrasound and also meet the pediatrician group I want to use.

Rants/Raves?
Rant - Boss driving me nuts (as usual). Also I feel like my boobs and belly are competing for the Who Is Bigger competition. Can't wait for my belly to win out, because right now I just look plump and not pregnant.
Rave - I'm so excited about the Expo this Sunday!!!!!

Questions?
FTM here, so when is a good time to start interviewing peds?

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.)
I'm living on the edge here. I've eaten sushi several times, and early on in my pregnancy deli ham was a go-to snack. I also had a turkey and salami sandwich at my parents house (THE HORROR!!!)

@phoenix870509 I love how reliable you are with this!

How many weeks are you?
18. It's funny. When I was 16 I was like... if only I was 18. Now I'm like... why is 20 still 2 weeks away...
How big is baby this week?
bell pepper
Any appointments this week?
noooope. Two weeks from today. Feels like such a long wait.
Rants/Raves?
Nausea and fatigue have been a little bad the last couple days. DS has been just enamored with me which is adorable but really hard when I feel I need to lay down after work because I just can't deny him happy fun mommy time. He's such a sweet lil guy.
Questions?
nope

Well I am pretty personal in my risk assessment so a lot of the blanket - Don't do it - items I use discretion on. I eat salmon sushi from a place I've gotten it for years and never once had an issue. I eat deli meat on salads from a deli I've been going to for a decade - never a problem. Yet I avoid a restaurant in town because I've gotten food poisoning there before. I played capture the flag around 12 weeks - a lot of sprinting around rocky uneven terrain. That was the only time I felt like I could trip. I had 2 drinks during that first 2 week wait and we were in Mexico 5 weeks before conceiving.

I had a deli sandwich in my first trimester and had my eggs sunny side up last week.

Any appointments this week?
Anatomy scan Tuesday and regular appointment Friday(next).

Rants/Raves?
I "gained" 2 pounds overnight but I'm retaining so much water today I think it's all water weight. We shall see if it sticks though. I'm still strugglingto gain any sticky weight. I'm concerned my doctor will lecture me again next week.

Questions?
Anyone else's doctor concerned about weight gain (too much or too little). If so how are you handling it? My last pregnancy I got yelled at a lot for gaining too much so mentally this is driving me crazy.

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.
played softball on 2 teams for the first 16 weeks. This week's lunches are pizza lunchables and *gasp* I'm not heating up the "pepperoni". I've also had a few sips of beer, run a lot (in 100 degrees), and sleep in any position that doesn't hurt. I was so cautious my first pregnancy but I'm really letting it go this time. Obviously I'm not being stupid but I did NONE of that my first time around.

sourlemon · July 2016

@phoenix870509 I didn't interview a pedi at all. We "forgot" to have that discussion with the first kid. We used the on call one at the hospital then just called a place our friends had recommended for the real thing after we went home. It's a practice with 6 of them and in the 2 years we have been going there we have seen them all. I like the big practice because we can usually get last minute appointments if DD gets sick, so long as we are flexible on who we see. We have only not liked 1 and he left after 2 months and his replacement was great.

This time we will use the office we go to but if someone else is on call in the hospital I don't mind using them.

How big is baby this week? Avocado or a cupcake

Any appointments this week? Nope, still holding out for our appointment on 7/28

Rants/Raves? I'm surprised by how much I've been throwing up this week. This is the most I've thrown up in about a month.

Questions? I asked my boob relief question on another thread. Gentle massaging of the tissue seems to help.

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.) Before I knew I was pregnant I rototilled a 750 sq. ft. garden three times over... and lifted the equipment in/out of my SUV... whoops!

ehoreni · July 2016

How many weeks are you? 19

How big is baby this week? a hedgehog. I can't decide if that's cute or a bit scary...

Any appointments this week? next Friday is anatomy scan and regular OB appointment

Rants/Raves? my rings felt so tight this morning that i didn't wear them today. I'm hoping this is just because it's super hot and I've spent more time outside the last couple of days because i feel like i should have at least until the beginning of the 3rd trimester before i have to hang them around my neck for the duration.

Questions? @sourlemon re weight gain. my doc is concerned about too much weight gain because i was overweight to begin with. i'm trying not to worry too much and to control what i can control - ie eating healthy foods and exercising in a healthy way. if i do that and gain more than they'd like me to, i'm not sure what else to do.

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.) i'm risk averse, so i haven't done anything risky that i can think of.

mrsg2390 · July 2016

How many weeks are you? 20!! Halfway there.

How big is baby this week? Banana

Any appointments this week? AS this coming Thursday... So excited!!!!

Rants/Raves? I know I should be grateful that I get to experience pregnancy, but I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore and just have a healthy baby. Too much anxiety and I can't even drink to relax! No shame, just honesty.

Questions? None really, I lurk on posts mainly. It's nice to know we are all going through similar things.

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.) Deli meat, although I do get them toasted to heat meat and I drink a small coffee or soda a few times a week for caffeine. Nothing too crazy.

l9i · July 2016

@slartybartfast I'm the same way with the weeks! A further along week envy I suppose?

How many weeks are you? 16

How big is baby this week? An avacado

Any appointments this week? Nope. Still another week and half until I go back.

Rants/Raves? Rants: My skin broke out more this week, although it's going away now. I have had such a problem with headaches and getting them to go away. It's starting to feel like I have a never ending headache, sometimes more intense and sometimes dull, but it's awful. Rave: We are moving to our new house tomorrow!

Questions? Nada

GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.) When I was about 5/6 weeks pregnant we went on vacation to Maine where we did a lot of hiking. One of our hikes was pretty much scaling a cliff and was pretty dangerous. However, my thought on whether to do it or not would be if I fell I'd most likely die soooo, there's that. A few times I've had deli meat *gasp*!

We share an EDD and A/S appointment! *belly bump*

I've been getting lots of headaches the last week and a half too. Good luck moving this weekend!

phoenix870509 · July 2016

@slartybartfast I have nothing else better to do in the mornings before the agents get in and my system is running slow

slartybartfast · July 2016

phoenix870509 - I don't think it's too early to find a pediatrician but also do t think it's a problem if you wait.

@sourlemon - no help here as no one has expressed any weight concerns for me. I'm sort of always keeping an eye on it though. I can put away the calories FAST if I'm not careful. I will say I'm about half as careful pregnant as I am when not pregnant

jptrumptone · July 2016

@phoenix870509 - I just called today and set up an interview with a pediatrician that my friend uses, but the interview isn't for another month. I've seen the "find a pediatrician" task on lots of month 5 to-do lists.

phoenix870509 · July 2016

I have an idea on who I want to use, the same pediatrician I had when we moved down here. I just don't know when I should schedule the interview for.

ashleaf2018 · July 2016

@sourlemon Lurking I guess, but I got yelled at for losing about 20 pounds this pregnancy and I was overweight to begin with. Honestly, I think it depends on your OB. As long as baby is growing like they should and you're healthy, I don't think they should necessarily get on to you.

Pomegranate?
Any appointments this week?
This coming Tuesday I finally have an apt! I have been having to reschedule so it's been a while since I've seen the OB!
Rants/Raves?
Rant- my temper has gotten out of control. I get angry so easily lately, and It's really upsetting me because i'm usually a very calm person.
Rave- I'm loving the way my little bump looks in my clothes! I feel like i'm finally in that "she looks so cute" pregnancy phase...
Questions?
none
GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.)
I've eaten deli meat, sushi, and i drink coffee. My first pregnancy i totally avoided everything, but this time around i'm a lot more carefree.

l9i · July 2016

@ajstevenson Woohoo! belly bump back at you! Unfortunately my next appointment is just a check up and not my A/S... *sigh*

karabearrr · July 2016

How big is baby this week?
Artichoke
Any appointments this week?
Nope, not until next week when I'm 19+3
Rants/Raves?
My and DH finally came up with our baby boy's name (Gabriel)! And when he told his father, who lives out of the country, his dad hated it. So now all of a sudden my DH hates it too. It was the only name we both agreed on and loved, and now the name went from #1 on the list to off the list completely? SO PISSED.
Questions?
Any tips for acid reflux in the night? I've tried everything, and can't sleep. I will wake up choking.
GTKY: What's the most "dangerous" thing you have done this pregnancy? (eat sushi or deli meat, play a sport, etc.)
Probably just deli meat; I've had two turkey subs from Publix within the last month. Other than that, I'm a paranoid mama and won't test my limits elsewhere.
