How far along are you & how big is baby? 18 weeks and the size of a sling shot
Upcoming appointments? End of March
Symptoms? I think I'm getting sick so not sure what's sick and what's pregnancy
Cravings? I don't want to eat anything at all
Rants/Raves/Questions? This is one of the first truly nice days we've had this year and I'm sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket feeling super gross.. I want to go do things in the sunlight..
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? when we go visit family, all of them? Here.. H&M or Ikea
How far along are you & how big is baby? 15 weeks / Eclair (yum!)
Upcoming appointments? Not until 3/24
Symptoms? Vomiting, Fatigue, Headaches
Cravings? All the Carbs still. They usually stay down.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I need to start a thread about in-laws, and VENT!
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? Depends. Right now I'd like all new bedroom furniture & a new sectional, so maybe Ashley Furniture or Ethan Allen. Otherwise, I can do major damage at Target.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 18 weeks/croissant Upcoming appointments? Regular midwife appointment this Tuesday
Symptoms? What I'm guessing is round ligament pain and low back pain. Oh, and my boobs are still growing which is obnoxious.
Cravings? Milkshakes and tacos.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so sick of the rain. I realize I live in the pacific northwest, but every time I go out to walk my dogs, it decides to torrential downpour. Bleh! Where's the sun?
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? Probably Target, lol. I have a Target Redcard that pulls from my checking account at the moment. It limits my spending since it directly goes out of my bank account. This is for the best, especially since they have so much baby stuff.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 18 weeks- can of soda!
Upcoming appointments? At the end of the month we have our anatomy scan, super excited for that ultrasound.
Symptoms? A lot of sciatic nerve pain.
Cravings? Lots of fruit and tacos
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've really been enjoying the cloth diaper thread. I'm really interested in doing cloth diapers and all the insights on them have been helpful.
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? Probably Michaels, I love doing crafties. Or Kroger, cause food lol
@Nxy I don't really like to eat often either. I've started to get more of an appetite, but not really.
Hey everyone. I go here now. My dates were changed and so did my ticker. Looking forward to getting to know you all. How far along are you & how big is baby? 15 weeks, an orange or a cinnamon roll!
Upcoming appointments? Not until April.
Symptoms? My left nipple hurts so bad I'm icing it at night. OMG. And it's just the left one. Weird.
Cravings? Ketchup chips and smoothies.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not today.
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? All the stores. Lol. But most likely toys r us or Carters. For myself, Amazon or clothing stores.
@Nxy hope you feel better soon and get to enjoy some sunshine!
How far along are you & how big is baby? 16 weeks. Big enough that my pants no longer button.
Upcoming appointments? Routine midwife one at the end of the month
Symptoms? Sleeping isn't going well again. I'm trying so hard to not sleep on my back that I think it's keeping me from sleeping soundly. That and the million times a night I get up to pee.
Cravings? Nothing really, just lots of food. I think there was a major growth spurt this week because I can EAT lately.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I've started getting this tight feeling on the left hand side of my ute. It will randomly come on, stay that way for a few seconds to a few minutes, then relax and go away. Sometimes it will happen once, other times on and off for a half hour. It's not like cramping because it doesn't hurt. It's just like suddenly the left side gets hard and tight, but without pain.
I don't know of these are BH, if I'm dehydrated, bladder issues, or if it's a type of baby movement (he is camped out a lot in my left side)... I'm tracking it closely and will be bringing it up to my midwife at the next appointment. Any ideas?

Barnes and noble. I always want all the books.

@Mango517 Sounds like it could be round ligament pain (RLP).
*snip from babycenter*
"The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes may occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen, typically first noticed during the second trimester."
It could be! I'm not terrible concerned (only a little) since cramps and pain aren't involved. I guess our bodies just do some weird shit during pregnancy.
Edit: watch it's just gas or something

How far along are you & how big is baby? 16 weeks - avocado
Upcoming appointments? Nothing this week except a trip to the lab for blood work.
Symptoms? My insomnia is awful and the itchy boobs are really annoying. Other than that, I feel pretty good.
Cravings? I've been thinking a lot about the ice cream and frozen yogurt I plan to enjoy when it finally warms up around here.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so ready for winter to be over. For the most part, it was pretty mild, but it has been really cold and windy the past two weekends. Plus, we're supposed to get at least a foot of snow this week. The slight peek into spring a few weeks ago was a cruel tease.
GTKY: At which store would you like to max-out your credit card? I always seem to buy more than I intended at Target. It's multiple stores, but I also tend to do damage at the outlets. I enjoy shopping way too much.
@Mango517 - last week I couldn't sleep at all - tossing and turning, trying to stay on my side comfortably which just led to my hips radiating pain in the middle of the night. BRU had the Snoogle on sale and I gave up by Thursday and went a got one. Life changer haha. I slept 11 hours (with the regular two pee breaks) Saturday night. I wasn't going to get the crazy pillow but glad I did now!

@JWatt5 I have a snoogle too, but I'm still struggling to stay on my side. I've had it since Christmas basically and have struggled to figure out how to use it to get comfortable. I always wake up because whichever side I'm sleeping on that arm or hand has fallen asleep. But it has helped trying to transition to my side
@erindippity - I guess I've had good luck with it so far! I did hear that on the PAIF board one girl that had the same problem went with the Back N' Belly pillow by the same company. Said she loves it - it's a lot bigger but lets you sleep on your back with lots of good reviews. https://leachco.com/products/back-n-belly-sup-sup-chic The Snoogle was less money so I thought I'd start with that. I didn't think it would work for me at all.

@JWatt5 I broke my neck in high school, and I've always struggled to be comfortable sleeping ever since. It's like now I've got pain in my neck/shoulders, and also back/butt/hips. So it's really hard for me to get/stay comfortable, but I think snoogle has helped a little!

@PinkPrincessPiper I'd be down with an in-law vent. Mine drive me nuts!
I've been wondering if some of the like stretching type pain had been round ligament too
