How many other children do you have?
How far along are you?
What symptoms are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies?
Any appointments this week?
Rant/Rave/Questions?
What has been you biggest craving so far this pregnancy?? What about aversion???
GTKY: If you had an extra $1000 to spend on yourself, what would you buy?

DS-5 DD- 18 months
20w1d
lots of pubic and RL pain when I go from sitting to standing. I never had that with my first but I did with my second.
I had a prenatal massage. Heavenly.
Going to see Beauty and the Beast today with the hubs. I'm so excited to see it and it's always nice to go out alone with him.
Veggies for sure. They have been my number one. Number two would be French fries!!!
Meat has been hit or miss. Sometimes I can eat it and sometimes I just don't want it.
A personal assistant for the day to help me get stuff done!
DD has been napping in her panties and waking up dry! Yay! Just nighttime to tackle but she still pees a ton at night.
Craving: Sweet coffee flavored stuff (especially ice cream).
Aversion: Digiorno Pizza. Specifically that brand. I had a nauseous moment during the 1st tri with one and haven't been able to look at one since.
Nice jewelry to honor my children and motherhood. I hope to get something after this LO is born. Been thinking of something to go with my own birthstone ring.

I finally felt what I am sure were baby kicks on Wednesday.
Craving: Fresh veggies and red meat, but any protein will do.
Aversions: The only consistent ones are alcohol and onions.
I have really boring stuff. My tablet is 4 years old and becoming obsolete, it won't run a lot of apps now. I lost my Kindle and while I am at it a new laptop would be nice.
DS is 2.
19 + 2
Sciatic/hip pain, eating everything, lack of energy. Gaining weight rapidly. Wasn't so terrible my first pregnancy. That would explain the pains.
Trying not to freak, but at our OB appt we were informed that they couldn't find/ get baby's left ventricular outflow tract in the A/S that morning. As a result we have to go back for another scan on the baby's heart. Now DH and I are terribly worried. I hate having to wait 3 more weeks to know if there is an issue.
Also diagnosed with placenta previa and while I don't have a ton of restrictions for now OB has nixed all our travel plans until 32 weeks when we recheck.
I would buy end tables, TV stand and new lights for the living room. Possibly a new chair if there were funds left.
One DD (2.5 yo)
17w1d
Diclectin at night keeps my m/s at bay, but I overall just feel blah and tired. I wish I had a bit more energy. My first pregnancy I was sick constantly and had very specific food aversions. This time, I'm not averse to much but I definitely don't crave anything, which makes choosing meals pretty hard because everything just sounds "meh". Then, after I eat, some things make me feel like garbage (sugar) and some things help tide my nausea over (protein).
Next week!
I'm tired of being tired. It makes caring for DD a bit harder, even though I think I hide it pretty well. DH is amazing, and very helpful, but I can tell he gets frustrated sometimes with how much falls on him when I'm unable to function well. I don't blame him. I'd get super mad if he sat around while I did everything, but I'm grateful he understands.
I guess I already answered this, lol. No cravings. I think once I had DH go get me salt and vinegar chips at the store, but that was it and I haven't had anything crazy since. No real aversions; non-pregnant me is a sweets-hog but I can live without them lately. I can't live without eggs. Eggs save me on a regular basis.
Investments or a weekend getaway with DH and DD! I want and need nothing physical right now.
1 - 10 month old daughter
We just got our tax return, so we are buying a king size bed. I feel like we have arrived.
5.5.16 | 8.14.17 | 1.30.19
I hate 2 year molars as well. DS has been waking up screaming at night. Only bottom ones are up/coming through and still have the top. DS has been a crazy monkey and is climbing everything. Ready to lose it and we just got nap time.
I also feel you on the missing glow and fat blob part. I've food sabotaged myself. Need it to warm up so I can get in time walking/ swimming in.
@HappyToBeHere,
Sorry you've still got Ms, that must suck. Hoping it fades eventually.
@bumpybump, now I am craving coffee ice cream. We have two great artisan places near my house, but I am too lazy/ cold to run and get myself a cone.
Newest thing is I'm a lot more sore, all over this time. Probably because I chase a toddler around all day and last time I had a desk job. More headaches this go around as well.

I crave carbs & fruit. Meat & eggs are hit or miss.
Four: DD 19, DS 18, DD 13, & DD 9.5
Hunger increasing, poor sleep quality, definitely feeling the weight of my uterus. Still have to pee all the time.
Just saw my midwife this past Monday.
Anatomy scan April 3rd.
Love feeling baby girl move!
I don't really have any intense cravings, but I do really enjoy cottage cheese and cantaloupe. It's my every day breakfast or snack. I also eat a lot of cherry heirloom tomatoes, carrots and cucumbers.
I would but myself some maternity clothes. We've been hurting financially the past couple of months which is really taking a toll on my stress level and my sense of self worth. I would buy clothes and I would book a night or two away with my man.
How many other children do you have? DD.. she'll be a year on the 31st
insomnia, tired, so thirsty!
my MIL. Ugh. She just oversteps constantly, and always has. She's also outspoken to the point of being hurtful but in her eyes she's just being "helpful" and her opinion is the only truth (eye roll) I feel like no matter how many boundaries I establish, it's still a constant battle. I just wish she would back off a little because I don't want to be rude, but alas..... I'm stuck with her. Bright side: she LOVES my LO and spoils her even if we don't always get along
water! Nothing else seems to quench my thirst the same.. and Taco Bell. Always, always Taco Bell. (There is no Taco Bell in Australia and it's devastating)
i would go to the hair dresser & get all the bells and whistles...and a really good breast pump for this time around!
One, my daughter will be 12 in two months.
I'm not able to sleep as well as I use to...I'm such a light sleeper now. Heartburn has lessened a bit...still have the annoying ringing in my right ear. I really don't remember any symptoms from my 1st pregnancy...my memory is trash and that was so long ago.
No....but so looking forward to my anatomy scan April 3rd.
Anticipating Spring/Summer weather like a kid anticipates a trip to Disney!
No serious cravings at the moment....really can no longer stand seafood.
A spa treatment, some hair, clothes, and a night or two for me to go to a hotel alone w/jacuzzi, fake bubbly (Martinelli) and chocolate covered strawberries all for ME!
Clothes, new earrings and a spa day.
I'd either splurge on a fancy bag or just buy lots of clothes from several different stores. I love shopping.

17 weeks
The exhaustion still hasn't lifted. Last.time the 2nd trimester was glorious.
Anatomy Scan is Tuesday.
@MetsGirl18 blood work is the worst for me. Tiny veins, although this office has been so much better about finding them the first time. There was only.one time the needle has to be removed and they had to get the baby butterfly and go down to my forearm. I always bruise. When I had my big blood draw (only one needle pricked but 10 vials) I could lift my arm for the rest of the day.
I've already had to take a glucose test. Then I have to take the regular.
This pregnany has got me on the radar for everything. So far when I retest I've gotten good news, but initially it's all been negative. I can't enjoy it like the first one.
My craving is still fried rice and pasta. Give me all the rice and pasta
I'd get a hair cut and they take the family to disney. I really want a Disney trip.
I've taken the 3 hour glucose with my other two kids and the first one was a particularly bad experience with needing to be stuck in really painful places by the third and fourth draws. I always warn them about my veins when I get blood taken.
That sounds miserable. Sorry your blood draws are awful.
How many other children do you have? 1. 4yr old boy.
