  • 1) 7 weeks today!

    2) still feeling exhausted. Not enough sleep in the world can make me feel rested enough. No throwing up, but the dry heaving is terrible. 

    3) first appointment isn't until March 15

    4) rant: I'm finally starting to get an appetite back, but no food sounds good. I'll think of something, but by the time I make it, it isn't appealing anymore. 

    5)I did have one cat. We gave her to my parents after my son was born because she just wasn't doing well with kids in the house. She is not a fan of any kind of noise and just does better in a quieter house. 
  • 1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks

    2) How are you feeling? Just a big old bag of BLAH. No food ever sound good, and still so tired.

    3) Any appointments or tests this week? Yes! First ultrasound on Tuesday. I can't wait.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? Just a rant. We are members of a winery and today is pick up day. They usually pour tons of free wine. Sigh....I miss wine lol

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind? 2 dogs! Also have a miniature dachshund and a boxer/lab mix.

    1) How many weeks are you? 8 weeks!

    2) How are you feeling?
    Okay, nausea is still lingering and if I overeat I'm in a lot of trouble. Waiting for these cramps to go away.

    3) Any appointments or tests this week?
    Nope, which I'm kind of happy for. Seeing a RE means I've already had 3 ultrasounds.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Not really this week. I want to go to Applebee's for lunch but I also dont. This is the struggle.

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind?
    I have 4 cats! It started out innocently, with a respectable number of cats (2). Then I got married, H wanted a cat that was "his" and then I fell in love with a little guy on a BST website, and got him while H was deployed.

  • 1) How many weeks are you?
    7 weeks today!

    2) How are you feeling?
    Tired. Tired. And tired. Also dry heaving in the am after I take my prenatal. Occasionally it will continue throughout the day. Still some occasional cramping when I do too much. No breast tenderness yet.

    Scheduled my first US for Thursday! Crossing my fingers to see a strong heartbeat!

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Totally not a fan of my family doc. But atleast I have one I can go to if I ever have concerns.

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind?
    I have 2. 1 cat, Ash, who is about 7. And 1 dog, Freya, who is a 2 and a half year old 100lb husky sheppard lab cross.

    1) How many weeks are you? 9! I feel like it's flying by. Almost a quarter of the way through already. 

    2) How are you feeling?
    I've actually had less nausea and a little more energy the last couple of days. I could definitely go to bed now though. Heartburn isn't my friend though.

    3) Any appointments or tests this week? 
    Not this week. We had our first ultrasound on Thursday and got to see a heartbeat. Got my first trimester screening set up for the beginning of April though.

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    I don't know what I was thinking drinking orange juice with dinner (because of heartburn not being my friend lol)

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind? 
    Nope, no pets here. DD has been asking though. Maybe when this LO is a little older. Don't think I want a new pet at the same time as a new baby lol.

  • Bahh I missed this yesterday! 

    1) How many weeks are you? 7w2d

    2) How are you feeling? Pretty good right now!
    Woke up at 4:30ish with bad nausea and have been up since.

    3) Any appointments or tests this week?
    I have a second ultrasound on Tuesday, and I'm pretty excited to see the progress from last week!

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    FIL is coming over today, and called DH while we were talking about our upcoming appointment so he didn't pick it up. FIL decided to call 2 more times in a row, so DH answered, and FIL was upset that he screened his call. DH jokingly said that he was talking to his wife, and pregnant talk trumps other phone calls. FIL responded that I wasn't that pregnant. WTF old man. I hope I get nausea when he is here because I'm aiming the vomit for him. Maybe thats the hormones talking, I don't know, and I don't care.

  • Missed this yesterday  :( 

    1) How many weeks are you? 
    8 yesterday

    2) How are you feeling? 
    Sh*tty. The food aversions suck the worst but I'm getting pretty depressed about this spare tire around my midsection. I've always been kind of obsessive about my weight and all those body image issues are coming up again now  :/

    3) Any appointments or tests this week? 
    Midwife appointment on Wednesday

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    Rave: DH still wants to snuggle me even though I'm gassy AF and feel disgusting. Rant: I can't stand being touched when I feel like this and he doesn't get it at all.

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind? 
    2 dogs we love more than anything :) A 9-year-old 85-lb terrier mix from Tijuana and a 3-year-old 10-lb chihuahua mix from a rescue in NYC. The little one is sure he's just as big as his brother and has an attitude to match.
  • @migdala I totally understand the not wanting to be touched! I have two toddlers hanging on me all day and by the time bedtime comes I'm all touched out! And they don't get it! Sorry about the body image issues! Just try to think of the positive things happening with your body-you're growing a little human! I know it's easier said than done, but it's what's helping me get through this too! 
  • 1) How many weeks are you? 9 weeks Saturday

    2) How are you feeling? 
    ok...I finally started forcing myself to eat a bit more and its made a tremendous improvement on my nausea

    3) Any appointments or tests this week? 
    finally have my first appointment tomorrow! woot woot!

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? 

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind? 
    2 cats 

    @mlasenburg I have low platelets too and its not a huge deal until it comes time to give birth, if they aren't over 100K the anesthesiologist most likely won't give you a epi (if that's something you are interested in)

  • I haven't posted in forever! I think about it here and there but then I just feel too wiped to put together thoughts.
    i was 9 weeks yesterday (Sunday)
    I feel fine. I don really know if I need to be concerned by my lack of symptoms (at last appointment my doctor said "just you wait" but that was 2 weeks ago). I am a little more tired but I don't know if that's still caffeine withdrawal or what. I have had some mild cramping, but otherwise I'm good. Other than the bloating!! See rant.
    I have my first ultrasound Wednesday and a follow up Thursday
    Rant - when I work long shifts on my feet by the end of the day I legit look 9 months pregnant. Saturday I almost split my pants at the end of my shift! They were perfectly fine fitting at the start of the day. By Sunday I was back to normal. I make sure to sit down a little every few hours and hydrate, but this is the 3rd time this has happened.
    we have 2 Rottweiler rescue sisters who turned 3 yesterday. They are going through their "threenager" phase where they want to eat our shoes and run away all the time, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.

  • 1) How many weeks are you? 9 (sorry I am late--was traveling this weekend!)

    2) How are you feeling? 
    Tired & nauseous. Although I have discovered that lemon juice in my water makes an unbelievable difference! I am more hydrated, and I feel like the nausea is less intense.

    3) Any appointments or tests this week? 
    no

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I am a second time mom, and my boobs are not really tender at all...Which is really different from last time! Anyone else experience that difference??

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind?
    No pets, just a toddler haha. 
  • ksf13ksf13 member
    @ssmama34217 My symptoms are so different this time. I didn't have any breast tenderness last time and that was my first symptom this time. I'm a lot more nauseated this go around too.

  • 1) How many weeks are you? 8 (now a little more since it's Monday)

    2) How are you feeling?
    Awful. Constant nausea. Occasional headaches. And the exhaustion is unreal. Like I'm really really exhausted

    3) Any appointments or tests this week?
    none so far, and none this week

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    I feel awful this week and DH has decided to have a crappy week too. I know it's not fair of me to ask him to be on target it all of the time, but this just seems like an awful time for him to be in a piss-pour frame of mind. There is literally nothing getting done around our home. It'd be nice if I could just feel like crap and have him pick up some of the slack. Not happening this week though :(

    5) GTKY: Do you have any pets? If so what kind?
    We have a dog and a cat. Have had the dog 10 years and the cat about 8 years.
