  • For those with an EDD of 6/6, 6/13, 6/20, and 6/27 

    How far along are you? 6 weeks 

    How big is baby? Blueberry 

    Upcoming appointments this week? None 

    Any new symptoms or changes? Tiny bit of nausea when I'm hungry or get heartburn. Diarrhea. EXHAUSTION. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? This past weekend was so insanely exhausting that I went to bed at 7 last night. I feel the same amount of tired despite the sleep. 

    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having? I didn't have much of a feeling with my son but for some reason I'm feeling so confident this is a girl. Maybe because I have a little bit of nausea this time vs last time? No idea, I just feel it's a girl.

    How big is baby? Appleseed

    I am the worst with this, with each of my three girls I thought they were boys each time, not because that's what I wanted necessarily, it was just my hunch. I have no clue this time. 
  • How far along are you? 5wks today

    How big is baby? Appleseed

    Upcoming appointments this week? Third beta on Friday

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Nope. My breasts are just slightly sore (I notice it more at night) and I've only had nausea once. I'm not over exhausted or puking everywhere which is nice but it leaves me not feeling very pregnant. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I can't wait to feel the baby move but I know I've got a while before that happens. I had to come off of my melatonin cold turkey for baby and so far it's going good. TW - I lost my dad in February and developed really bad insomnia because of his passing so I've had to be on something to sleep - End TW. 

    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having? I have no clue but I have had dreams over the years of me raising boys so I guess we'll see if the dreams come true. It honestly doesn't matter to me whether its a boy or girl as long as s/he is healthy. 
  • @Assiram42 sorry about the headaches. That sounds awful. 
  • So sorry about the loss of your dad, @beckij34.
  • @beckij34, I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to sleep without the melatonin.
  • Thanks @Assiram42 and @Mother0fDragons. It's been a rough year to say the least. I'm not doing too bad with it. I'm a little more tired today but I think it's part baby and part my body adjusting to not being on something to fall asleep. I'm anxiously awaiting for Friday to get here so I can have my third beta and finally tell my mom she's gonna be a nana again (I have 5 nieces & 2 nephews).

    How big is baby? Blueberry/ sweet pea/ grain of rice / lady bug (funny how all the apps are so different) 

    Upcoming appointments this week? First meeting with new midwife/ dating scan 

    Any new symptoms or changes?  Nothing yet

    Rants/Raves/Questions? No school yesterday, usually fun.. yesterday was awful! 

    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having? We are team green this time we don't want to know until delivery, but I keep spotting little similarities from my last pregnancy... that resulted in a girl.

    How big is baby? Sesame Seed

    Upcoming appointments this week? 1st meeting with the midwife (what even happens at a consultation? We interview each other, but do they check anything or is that a totally seperate appt?)

    Any new symptoms or changes?  SO tired! I was traveling full time at this point while expecting DD so I would just go to my hotel room and crash after dinner, thinking nothing of it. Being home, having responsibilities and a toddler makes the exhaustion feel like a whole new thing

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  None yet. I'm sure I will have some, but right now I don't feel pregnant

    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having?  I feel like I'm having a girl because I feel like I did last time. I had a dream last time where I saw my baby girl, then I found out for sure at my anatomy scan. My U/S tech said, as funny as it sounds, the most consistent correct guesses were based on the Mom's intuition; not heart rate, orientation in the uterus, Chinese gender predictor or any of the rest of the old wive's tales.

    How big is baby? sweet pea

    Upcoming appointments this week? First midwife appointment on Thursday.

    Any new symptoms or changes?  
    Tired, and nauseous. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? My daughter is 2.5 and suddenly feels like she has discovered the terrible 2's!  She doesn't want to listen which makes this already tired mama exhausted!  Preganancy is so much harder with a toddler!

    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having? 
    No idea, just hoping for a healthy baby! I would be happy with a girl or boy. 
  • Lizard Ballet, I wish toddlers understood pregnancy. But no matter how many
    times I explain it he doesn't care. It's his world, I'm just living in it. 

  • How far along are you? 5 weeks! (Ticker is actually Wednesday in Australia but Tuesday in USA)

    How big is baby? Appleseed

    Upcoming appointments this week? I had my bloods taken today in preparation for visit to the OBGYN

    Any new symptoms or changes?  I felt spewy this morning but I woke up at 5am for a work meeting so it's possibly that ... I'm not a morning person !

    Rants/Raves/Questions?  
    I went to a naturopath who basically told me off for being overweight and told me all these negative things that I don't even want to repeat. I have a BMI of 33 ATM.. 
    Feeing bad about this but there is nothing I can do now but start eating healthy and hope things work out. 
    Does anyone know of other bigger women who have delivered safely?  Do their OBGYNs tell them off? 
    I weigh more now than I did when I was 9m pregnant with my son. 


    GTKY: Lets talk mother's intuition! Do you just "know" what you're having? 

    I'm certain I am having a girl. 
    I was certain last time I was having a girl and I was wrong. But this time I'm sure of it! I feel it in my bones! 
    Hopefully get to use the girl's name I had planned.

  • @CutieBugg I'm overweight but it's never been a big issue with the doctor at the fertility clinic I go too. I have been working on eating better and loosing weight for a few months and have made some progress. I'll never get back to my 18 yr old self and that's ok. I'm focused on eating as healthy as I can and drinking as much water as I can. I'm not trying to make you feel bad at all. You can do it. Take baby steps. Make small changes that you can stick with. We will have beautiful healthy babies next summer!!!
  • @CutieBugg, I am overweight also and have delivered three babies successfully.  I have an on and off battle with bulimia, so my doctor treads lightly.  Basically the moment I find out I'm pregnant I follow the gestational diabetes diet, basically low carbs, more protein.  

    I'm sorry you didn't have a pleasant experience with the nutritionist, but I think you'll be just fine.
  • Thanks @beckij34 , @Assiram42

    (Sorry for late response, I am a bit of a technophobe...Didn't quite get how this works)
    I'll look into the low carb diet and perhaps see another dietician.
    It was a Naturopath i was...she basically told me i needed 1000 vitamins.
