This thread is for August moms who have previously suffered a loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, etc).
I think we can kind of skip the intros by now, but do so I feel you'd like!
How far along are you?
How are you doing?
When is your next appointment?

GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?

Re: PGAL Check-in, Week of March 6
I think we can kind of skip the intros by now, but do so I feel you'd like!
How far along are you?
Almost 19 weeks!
How are you doing?
Good. Still struggling with headaches, nausea and exhaustion, but trucking along.
When is your next appointment?
Tomorrow and it's Anatomy scan day!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Today is my oldest child's birthday. I have a 5 year old! I have no idea how that happened.
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?
I would say feeling kicks, which I absolutely love, but I've been feeling him for awhile. I'm weird, I'm super excited about the end and possible labor. I'm attempting a VBA2C and the thought of actually getting it just gives me chills.

How are you doing? PGAL brain is kicking in full force. I have my AS on the 17 and as excited as I am to see the baby again and find out the sex, Im so worried something is wrong in there! I havent had an US since week 12 and I do have a doppler, but the HB isnt everything!
When is your next appointment? the 17th
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am so looking forward to knowing the sex of this baby. My MIL and FIL asked me over the weekend if I had a gut feeling, and I dont really. I think I kinda want a girl, but I think its simply so I can prove to my MIL that the men in that family do make girls. She has told me since before we got married that I was for sure going to have all boys. Im also pretty girly, so the thought of being a boy mom scares me. I know that I will be over joyed with what ever the sex is, but I really want to show her up! I also dont plan on telling anyone what it is until at least a week later! So for a little while DH and I get to have a secret all to ourselves!
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August? Finding out the sex, and then getting the house ready! Im also looking forward to actually looking pregnant. I have a belly, but its still in the phase of "is she pregnant or fat", so I just want it to be obvious! I also want to know for sure if what I think I might be feeling are baby or just gas!

How are you doing? so much better now that my nausea is gone and my appetites back!
When is your next appointment? just had a generic one on Friday, next generic one is on St. Patty's day.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm 2 weeks away from my previous loss milestone week and I'm feeling more optimistic this pregnancy. Just thinking about everything I was going through last time at this point and where I am now gives me hope. Still anxious about coming up on that time and still using my doppler at least once a day every day...
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August? Having off from work from mid June-whenever I deliver and then not going back till the end of November when my maternity leave is over!
@littlebug2010 I hope you have a girl then too to shut up MIL. Boy mommin is pretty rad tho if you don't. The hugs melt your heart!
@szwill86 every week I think about you and your milestone. So close!

@littlebug2010 my MIL looked at the picture of the 9 WEEK ULTRASOUND and said that since she "can't see anything" that she knows it's going to be a girl and she's really excited since she has 2 grandsons right now. I told her that it isn't possible to know via ultrasound at that point and to not be disappointed if it's a boy... and she never really said anything haha. Soooo I get you on the annoying MIL that you just want to prove wrong! Haha
@szwill86 I'm glad you're feeling more confident this time and I always have you in my thoughts and prayers for this rainbow baby!
AFM:
How far along are you? 17 weeks
How are you doing? Pretty good. My appetite is up all around... but I still puked recently so the nausea isn't fully gone yet
When is your next appointment? March 29th! So. Far. Away.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I just want to feel movement! I know it's still early but so many people talk about feeling "flutters" now and I just want those! I've been using the Doppler more often since I've been worrying more without any feelings yet!
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August? I'm just excited to get to feel movement (as stated above)! Also, since we're team green it'll be fun to find out the sex at the birth!
15+1
How are you doing?
Pretty good. Nausea is gone and energy is back, but I wish I slept better.
When is your next appointment?
3/24
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
DH and the kids have colds. It's only a matter of time before I catch it too. I hate being sick especially while pregnant.
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?
I've been feeling flutters/movement for about 3 weeks, but I'm looking forward to feeling kicks and seeing my kids' reactions when they eventually feel kicks.
@szwill86 Keep on going with your positive attitude!!!

I just want to SLEEEEEPPPP!!!! I cannot stay asleep at night to save my life! Otherwise I'm good lol
When is your next appointment?
TOMORROW!!! Regular old prenatal appt but so excited to hear baby girl's heartbeat again. This every 4 weeks business is for the birds. But it's time to schedule anatomy scan too!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Ugh DH and I are having a house built down south and we chose this really pretty wine color for the front door and shutters. All of the houses in Alabama are freaking brown I swear! Our brick is grey'ish but with brown garage doors and trim and everything so I wanted a nice pop of color. Well we got an email from corporate or whatever saying we needed to pick between "musket brown" or black because supposedly they're trying to make all the houses in the neighborhood the same. I told my DH to tell them NO. I am not from the south I am not used to all brown houses and I NEED that splash of color. All the brown looks so drab. We went and did the contract in January so all the grass is brown too and just BLAH. Guess we'll see what they say to that.
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?
I'm excited to finally feel 100% sure whatever I'm feeling in there is actually her. I'm also excited to set up her room and hang up all her little clothes!
@littlebug2010 I hope you have a girl now! My MIL & Fil want a girl. They are putting so much pressure on me it is driving me nuts! Its already decided people!
@szwill86 I am super excited about the summer off too! And I am going to try hard to be off to Nov, even though I am short on sick time.
@mokay19 I haven't felt movement yet either. And it's my favorite part!
@MetsGirl18 Being sick while pregnant is the worst! DH doesn't understand that I can't down a bottle of Nyquil like him!
@cmmiller531 I forgot all about pregnancy insomnia till this week! LO has been sick so I have been up a lot with him, But now that hes better and sleeping through the night I realize it's my insomnia. Last night I got up and watched old reruns and ate a snack.

How are you doing? I'm doing ok. At my last appointment they moved my due date back by 2 weeks and my PGAL brain is in full panic mode that something is wrong, but Doctor reassured me that due to my irregular cycles I could have just ovulated later than I thought. Which means I had a positive test at like 2 weeks pregnant? Maybe my next scan they will change my date again.
When is your next appointment? April 3rd- Elective US to find out sex!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: See above.
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August? Right now I just can't wait to find out the sex. I'm having some issues really connecting with the pregnancy so I think this will help me connect and start planning nursery and buying things, picking out a name ect.
@metsgirl18 jelly that you are feeling flutters! I can't tell if it's gas or movement!
@cmmiller531 that insomnia shit is real. Plus DS is in the middle of the 18 mos sleep regression on top of it. FML!
@maebee87 That sucks about your due date! Ugh!
@bubblesmtu are you in IL? We are in Indiana and last week was nuts. We had to get DS to the basement at like 2:30am when all the alarms went off. So crazy.
How far along are you?
15 weeks!!! Ahhhhhh!!
How are you doing?
I'm doing pretty great! Still checking that TP, I don't think that shit will change. We still haven't announced. Maybe next week?
When is your next appointment?
Next Monday. Then 3 more weeks til my A/S. I'm thinking I will feel better once I hear the HB again. We announced with DS at about 16 or so weeks so maybe we will then.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
We found out it's a baby girl Sunday. I at first was kinda devastated but now I'm acually getting excited. Which I didn't expect. Such complicated emotions! Ahhhhh!
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?
I think I'm most excited about how my son will handle everything. How he will grow up in the next 6 months and what kind of a brother he will be
@Kudlica27, I'm excited to see another VBAC mom here!

How are you doing? Honestly, nervous again. I have a Doppler too. I use it every few days and I grew a lot this week so couldn't gage where baby moved up to. I found it today, but not for as long as usual and the readings skipped around 120-130/140. I wish I could def feel movement but I can't tell between that and gas - which is frustrating.
Next Appointment: March 31, anatomy scan. So far away!
Rants/Raves: none at the movement actually.
TWW:: Kids mentioned
GTKY: I'm not buying a single thing or preparing until the baby is born. I'll call my sister and ask to borrow her baby rocker bed after baby is born. The rest I'll send my husband and kids out to buy at target by our house or buy buy baby. I have a girl & boy so I'll prep a few new born outfits around 37 weeks /wash them a couple times.
How far along are you?
18 weeks, 2 days.
How are you doing?
Feeling pretty good. Now just need a bit more energy.
When is your next appointment?
I had my anatomy scan today. It basically went well. Kidney was 4mm dilated which was a little too high so we will go back at 32 weeks to double check. They didn't seem too concerned (Said over 90% resolve themselves) BUT then I just got an email from my Dr. saying they didn't see anything abnormal with his heart but some images weren't ideal so they want me to schedule a fetal echocardiogram to look more carefully.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
See above. Everything seems like it will be fine and they just want to double check but PGAL is making me freak out completely. I just wish they would have talked to me when I was in the office so I could have asked more questions etc.
GTKY: Besides the baby, what are you most excited about concerning your pregnancy/delivery between now and August?
Well now I'm just excited to get the rest of my ultrasounds and echocardiograms done. I'm looking forward to strong kicks and my husband and kids being able to feel them. Since this will be our last I'm trying to savor all the little moments. Now back to Dr. google to totally freak myself out.
