Upcoming appointments this week? I have my regular OB appointment on Tuesday.
Any new symptoms or changes? The ultrasound I had at my last visit at 11 weeks showed an anterior placenta, but when we had a private scan earlier this week it was posterior. Um, what? I know that the placenta can move, but I feel like that's a big change in about 4 weeks. I'm now regularly able to find baby's heart beat with my doppler, so that's good.
Rants/Raves/Questions? See above re: placenta.
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? I've been wearing them for a while now. I'm really liking Target and Old Navy thus far. I have a couple things from Motherhood, but it's not my favorite place, TBH.
How far along are you? 14 weeks - officially in the second trimester.
How big is baby? A peach
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? Most of my MS seems to be gone. Of course I'm sick with a cold now.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? I already had started to gain weight right before getting pregnant. So I took out my old maternity clothes pretty quick. I've been feeling really upset over all of it. So even though I'm in maternity clothes, I still try to hide it as much as possible. I get most of it from Motherhood Maternity, Old Navy, and some from ASOS.
Upcoming appointments this week? Had one earlier this week. Went well. Just sad that my doc recommends a c-section.
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really. Back aches is a main one right now.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I had a random burst of energy last weekend and cleaned out my closet then set up a virtual closet sale. Already sold some items. I feel like my house is so cluttered. Working on my office this weekend.
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? You can definitely tell I'm pregnant but I can still fit into my clothes. Even my pants surprisingly. I feel huge but only gained 4 lbs so far. I shop at nordstroms, H&M, asos.
How far along are you? 16 weeks, although I consider myself to be close to 17 weeks since I'm 5 days ahead.
How big is baby? Avocado, pickle
Upcoming appointments this week? This coming Monday, Oct 3rd.
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling good!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I had to see a specialist after testing "positive" for Down's and got the Harmony test. The doctor called a week later with the results and told me everything looked good and it was a relief. Well my regular doctor's office just now got the Harmony results and called me giving me the results. I said, "umm, the specialist already called, but thanks." Glad I didn't have to wait for them to call me. I would've been sweating bullets for a month!
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? Hell yeah. Started wearing maternity clothes around 6 weeks since this is my second pregnancy. I have a few clothes from Stitch Fix and already had some dresses from Lularoe that are perfect for maternity. Nice and stretchy.
Upcoming appointments this week? I had one today and everything looked great. We got to see the little dude on ultrasound and he was moving around like crazy!
Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling pretty good! I think my bump has gotten a lot firmer this week.
Rants/ Raves/Questions None at the moment
GTKY? I wear scrubs for work and recently bought several maternity outfits. Wonder wink is my favorite brand so far. I have some comfy sweaters from motherhood maternity that I am excited to wear.
Upcoming appointments this week? No appointments for another 2 weeks.
Any new symptoms or changes? My allergies are more out of control than usual. The golden rod came out, and my head instantly felt like it was going to explode. I've also been really achy. My back, my ribs, and my hips all ache from about 11:00 on...afternoons are brutal at work.
Rants/ Raves/Questions Not currently, it's been smooth sailing here!
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? Oh yes! At about 9 weeks I had to cave. I had some from last time (well worn, and destroyed from wearing them all to work) I have actually bought a lot from Walmart. They carry some of the same brands (and actual specific styles) I have gotten at Burlington, and they are all super cheap. You can only get them online, but they ship free to the store, and I can return in store as well. (We live in the middle of nowhere. We legit have only a Walmart in the next town over, no Target, no malls, nothing...it is kind of awful!) They are cheap enough that if they don't hold up quite as long, I don't feel bad, and I can get them dirty or bleached at work ( I work I a preschool/childcare, there is a lot of mess, and a lot of bleach) and it is okay, because they are cheap. I did get a few things nicer things (I had to go 2 hours away) but I refuse to wear them Monday-Friday, because I didn't pay $22 for plain black maternity leggings to get bleach spots on them...that's what $7 Walmart maternity leggings are for! Lol
Any new symptoms or changes? My bump is ridiculous lol. And I'm really feeling more movement. MS is still there, had a rough two days even with my diclegis.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The count down to the gender scan is crawling...
GTKY: Have you busted out the maternity clothes yet? If so, where's your favorite place to shop? Oh heck yess. I bought a lot from a friend but target and motherhood are my two main stores.
