Rants/Raves/Questions?

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most?

glitterfish-2 · January 2017

We have a tickler this week! Why aren't there more Friday ticklers??

How far along are you? 17 weeks!

How big is baby? Pomegranate or CHIPMUNK

Upcoming appointments this week? I have my anatomy scan on Monday at 8am!

Any new symptoms or changes? Nope, besides having a harder belly, I pretty much don't notice I'm pregnant.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Where has the time gone?? Nearly halfway through!
I will rave that I found out DH gets 2 weeks of paid paternity leave - I don't get any! I'll have STD for 6-8 weeks though.

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most? COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

AdaByron · January 2017

We're kind of slackers about tickling on Fridays. I'll try to do better.

How far along are you? 16 weeks

How big is baby? Avodaco

Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Just had one last week

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing major. Less nausea, more heartburn, still need to eat every 2 hours to avoid passing out.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I went from "maybe we'll be team green this time" to "nah, I think I want to find out at the anatomy scan" to "I must know right now." I'm officially far enough along for the elective place, and I'm really considering it.

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most? Wine. I don't really change my diet in pregnancy other than that, and I miss it a lot.

Kmomof3 · January 2017

How far along are you? 14 weeks

How big is baby? Size of a peach or a beet

Upcoming appointments this week? No more for four weeks - other than dropping off blood sugar log.

Any new symptoms or changes? Feeling better in most ways - but so, so, so TIRED by the end of the day.

Rants/Raves/Questions?RAVE - NIPT came in; all normal and SHE'S A GIRL!

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most? Sweets and pizza - gestational diabetes means I have to watch my carbs - pizza puts me over the edge, so of course, I really want it.

How far along are you?
17 weeks and back to my original estimated due date...so here I am on Friday
How big is baby?
Pomegranate
Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope
Any new symptoms or changes?
Neck and shoulder pain. I got a snoogle and used it for the first time last night. I think it helped. I'm also starting to get stretching feelings in my stomach.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nope
GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most?
(stuck in bold). Probably sushi. But really I'm not missing foods - I'm missing my normal skin care and makeup routine. The "pregnancy safe" products just don't do it for me.

How far along are you?
13 weeks today!

How big is baby?
A lemon!

Upcoming appointments this week?
I had my NT scan this morning. Baby is looking really good. HB was 160. Baby was pretty much sleeping through the entire ultrasound. My blood screening came back too and everything looks great! I'm so excited!

Any new symptoms or changes?
Starting to have my breast tenderness again; very minimal. Becoming over emotional too lol

Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just kinda really missing my parents. Our work schedules are impossible, but I got to have breakfast with them this week and kinda vent to them how I have been feeling living with my in-laws. I love my in-laws, don't get me wrong, but sometimes i wish we were living with my parents again. I miss having a clean, uncluttered house and just kinda wish I could be sharing all the pregnancy excitement with my mom more than anyone else. I made myself promise to them that I would dedicate a morning or night to spend with them every week. I need to see them more.

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most?
WINE! And Sushi. Gawwwwddd I miss sushi.

Hi @zara4k I see this is the first time you've participated in a ticker change thread. Let me explain how it works. There's a different ticker change thread each day of the week for people whose pregnancy ticker "changes" on that day. For instance, if you're 13+5 today, your ticker would change on Sunday to 14 weeks, and move up to the next fruit or whatever. So you would participate on Sunday with everyone else who is celebrating the change on the same day. A lot of us recycle the GTKY question in other threads, so it would get kind of boring participating in a ticker change more than once per week.

Okay! It's the first time I actually noticed the thread thanks for clarifying! Il wait and remove this

How far along are you? 14

How big is baby? Peach

Upcoming appointments this week? Not for a while

Any new symptoms or changes? Less nauseous, more hungry. I am down with a cold so hard to tell if I'm exhausted from that or the pregnancy or both.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I am starting to tell people. I need to tell my boss. I hope she doesn't get stressed. I think she probably suspected anyways. I'm bad at hiding stuff. And I'm getting fat.

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most? I never really drink alcohol but I could so go for a drink with friends. We have a birthday party tomorrow night at a bar and I kinda would have liked to get something.

Any new symptoms or changes?
I think my m/s is starting to go away and less nausea for the past 2 days!!

Rants/Raves/Questions?
I finally have an appetite. It's been 3 days of good eating!! I'm finally not going to bed hungry!

GTKY: What "forbidden" pregnancy food do you miss the most?

Alcohol!! I'm still buying my wine every month so I have a nice stockpile for after baby comes.

cielaw89 · January 2017

@Poppyseed72017 I've been stockpiling wines too!! Especially because the stores have such great deals! Can't pass those up!

Poppyseed72017 · January 2017

@cielaw89 I longingly look at the bottles right now. I need to put them out of sight. DH was having a beer last night and I had to walk away. It was making my mouth water!!

AdaByron · January 2017

A few weeks ago DH opened a bottle of red wine to drink with dinner. I guess he thought I was going to have a glass, but I told him I'm not really comfortable with the occasional glass until 3rd tri. So he had one glass out of it, and last night realized it had been sitting around since then and he poured it all down the drain.

Mommyofcarson+1 · January 2017

@theweevee I use benefit makeup and love it. Nothing unsafe in it either.

plumpous · January 2017

@AdaByron the funny thing about alcohol in first trimester is that I always end up realizing I've been drinking not knowing I'm pregnant for the first month! Oy! I actually hardly drink but with DD it just so happened that I drank 5 days in a row and even had half a cigarette!! OMG! I really don't do that ever but it just happened and I later realized I was pregnant and like uh oh! And I'm pretty sure this time I drank something and dyed my hair but I was faster this time to realize because MS started during the first week of my missed period.

I drank and had my eyebrows microbladed 2 days before BFP. Then the next week I bleached and colored my hair and 6 weeks later I had my eyebrows done again.
I dunno, that little ball of cells must be pretty hardy!

AdaByron · January 2017

I think in the first few weeks you don't share a blood supply with the baby so things you do before your BFP (under normal circumstances) aren't likely to harm. It's a little different late in first tri. I'm not going to go as far as to say one glass of wine would have terrible consequences, but at that point a lot of important bodily systems are developing so I avoid all alcohol and most OTC drugs at that point, then I loosen up a little in 3rd tri once the baby has all its fingers and toes.
