How big is baby? Lentil

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, not until January 12. But I should get bloodwork results from the hematologist in a week.

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really, I'm praying to avoid MS

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope, hoping for a quiet and peaceful week!

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job?
I'm a teacher. I already told my principal since I'm going to need quick class coverage occasionally to go to the bathroom. I also have a long commute and may need to leave a little early for appointments since we don't get out until 3:45 and my doc's office makes its last appointments for 4:30. There is a hospital in the town I live in, but I chose a hospital / doc office across the street in between work and home even though I'll probably deliver when I'm home for the summer for this reason. Can't work from home.

How far along are you? 7 weeks

How big is baby? A standard D20 die

Upcoming appointments this week? Wednesday we have our introductory appt to the OB on base!

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing really new... I've been getting nausea when hungry so I always keep pretzels on me!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I still can't believe that we saw this baby's tiny heartbeat a few days ago. I was sweating because I was so nervous going into it and then I was so relieved! Fortunately, we had a calm Christmas so it was easy not to drink and not be tooooo obvious haha

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job? I'm an operations engineer. This baby will affect my ability to walk around 7 of 8 hours a day! I already get more exhausted and have to sit down for short breaks haha

mokay19 · December 2016

@NYTino24 what are the major things that the hematologist is testing for? I know you've been having bloody noses and stuff so I was just curious what they're looking at.

NYTino24 · December 2016

@mokay19 I was told I had VWD as a teen and always needed medication before surgery. I used a new doc last year and he said he didn't see it. My twin had ITP in pregnancy in addition to serious PCOS / endometriosis that led to a partial hysterectomy due to a terribly scarred uterus. Another sister had retained anterior placentas in her last 2 pregnancies and hemorrhaged pretty badly, so they wanted to make sure everything is okay. They did a CBC with one vial and told me results before I left. (Low mean platelet volume and MO#, but he wasn't concerned and said it was "normal".) I have no idea what the other 11 were for.

szwill86 · December 2016

Hi, ladies! I intro'ed in the other thread last week and have been lurking/sporadically posting since then and I'm excited to join this ticker change! I'm Stephanie, EDD 8/28.

How far along are you? 5 weeks

How big is baby? Apple seed

Upcoming appointments this week? None this week, but should be getting my progesterone level result back. It's been delayed bc of the Holiday weekend.

Any new symptoms or changes? Just some dull cramps up by/around my belly button and closer to my hips- it varies which side from day to day.

Rants/Raves/Questions? **TW** I'm cautiously optomisitic for this pregnancy as I lost my first little one in May at 17 wks and had a CP in Nov. of this year. **end TW** I have my first appt with U/S scheduled for 1/13. I know time is going to drag until then.

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job? I'm a speech pathologist in a k-5 elementary school. My EDD is the first day that staff is supposed to be back at work, but who knows if that will really happen for me. I'm a little nervous not starting the school year off with my caseload then jumping into what someone else has done for three months, but hopefully I'll be able to meet with my sub early August before school starts to give him/her the lay of my special ed. land.

Blueberry or a playing die

Upcoming appointments this week?

I was supposed to have one tomorrow, but then work told me I can't have off.

Any new symptoms or changes?

Nausea is getting worse and dizzy spells more frequent.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

Not now

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job?

I work part time in a daycare. I plan on quitting and staying home when baby comes. I will probably quit when I get too big to be bending down and picking up babies and toddlers all day. For now, I just have to keep preggie pops in my pocket because the blowouts and spit ups trigger major nausea.

HappySweetLuv · December 2016

How far along are you? 6 weeks & 1 day

How big is baby? Sweet Pea

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job? Legal Assistant... I think where it will get complicated for us is once our DD starts school.... She will be in Pre-K4 next year and she'll still be at her daycare since they have VPK there, and baby of course will be attending same daycare. But once they go separate ways, the commute will be more difficult for us as well as aftercare... Going to have to start planning ahead soon.

Soooo dang tired and sick I can't even stand it!

Rants/Raves/Questions?

Just sick and tired of being sick and tied. Ugh!

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job?
I work in healthcare, and baby won't affect work much. If I'm lucky enough to be able to breast feed #2 I'm mostly concerned about being able to find time to pump at work, as it can get chaotic at times.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope (:

GTKY: What's your job? How will baby affect your job? I am an administrative assistant. Being pregnant will not affect my job but I am nervous about telling my bosses because I was just out on maternity leave in 2015.
