Re: PGAL Check-in 4/4

2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I am starting to feel a little better, my food aversions are causing me the most problems. I have had a nasty chest cold since thursday and any cold without medicine just sucks. Emotionally I'm still nervous, I think I'll feel much better after another appointment, the appointments are so few and far between!
3) When is your next appointment?
Next week 4/11, just a regular appt but I'll be scheduling my NT scan.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions
Nothing I can think of.
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast?
Like half of a cantaloupe lol.
1) How far along are you?... 11w4d.
2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally?... Physically I am feeling like there is no end to this nausea and constipation, even though everyone says it will likely end in the next few weeks. I couldn't hope for anything more. Emotionally I'm a little worried. I have a history a depression and I'm starting to think pregnancy depression might have gotten me. Having trouble enjoying anything the last several weeks. I've been avoiding everything including bumping, so hoping that maybe if I push myself to interact a little bit more, it might bring about a recharge for me.
3) When is your next appointment?... Two more weeks *sigh*.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions... none.
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast?... uhm, leftover steak stir fry, lol.
2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Emotionally great after our NT scan yesterday. Physically ok - the nausea has abated a LOT, which I'm thrilled about, but it still comes and goes, now with heartburn as well.
3) When is your next appointment? April 20
4) Rants/Raves/Questions We had our NT scan yesterday and everything is looking wonderful. It's so crazy how it looks like an actual human baby now. Looking forward to getting our cell free DNA results next week and finding out the sex!
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast? Literally a block of sheep's cheese. Paying for it in heartburn now.
2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I've had some bursts of energy which has been great to finally get some stuff done. Mentally I just cannot wait to get to 12-13 weeks and be confident that I am, in fact, having a baby in October. I'm having a hard time believing this is actually going to work out.
3) When is your next appointment? Thursday and I absolutely cannot wait. We saw the baby and heard the heartbeat 3 weeks ago so I'm excited to (hopefully) hear that beautiful sound again! I think if we hear the heartbeat on Thursday and everything looks good then I will feel more confident.
4) Rants/Raves/Questions
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast? Well I warmed up a Panera cheese bagel and it smelled like butt and almost made me vomit so I threw that out and made an english muffin with some butter and watermelon on the side.
@migdala the heartburn is killing me right now. I ate a soft pretzel with some cheese at lunch and spent the 2 hours following burping and feeling like hell. Completely regretted it!
2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally? My nausea is finally settling down! Only threw up once this week! Heartburn has started in the evenings but I'll gladly have that over the nausea! Emotionally I am impatiently waiting for my next appointment. I wish they weren't a month apart. Gives me anxiety to wait so long. Also, this Friday should have been my due date with our loss. So it's been an emotional week to say the least.
3) When is your next appointment? April 17
4) Rants/Raves/Questions: Can't wait to feel this baby moving around! I think I'm starting to feel flutters but it's so hard to tell this early. It could just be gas. It's sporadic and only when I'm lying very still. But it feels like those first flutters I had with DS.
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast? Honeycomb cereal lol
@dumbledoredies I also find it hard to really believe I'll have a baby in October!! PGAL brain is rough.
2) How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Ok mostly. Tired and constantly sneezing and stuffy for the past few weeks. Anxiety is picking up as my NT scan gets closer, I'm paranoid that something will be wrong at each scan I have but so far so good. It's not just loss, it's something medically being wrong. DS has a syndrome and DD2 was preemie so I'd really love to have an uneventful, healthy, no NICU time, baby and pregnancy.
3) When is your next appointment? NT scan on Monday
4) Rants/Raves/Questions I heard baby's heartbeat on my doppler for a few seconds a few days ago. I haven't been able to find it since so it's sort of bittersweet. I understand it's early so it's normal not to hear it yet but I still hate that I haven't been able to find it again.
5) GTKY: What did you have for breakfast? Eggs and toast with chocolate milk

@cooaladolll I can relate to the depression. Especially in the winter months and when you aren't feeling your best. I have a ton of mental health issues so hugs to you.
@migdala The NT scan is my favourite because baby looks like a baby but still fits on one screen.
@dumbledoredies I can totally relate to your breakfst debacle. Haha! This happens to me when I cook almost anything. I have been loving watermelon and most fruit in general though which is handy.
@mommac2017 I'm so ready for movement. I keep thinking I feel a little something here and there but I'm 99% sure it's just gas since I'm so early. My first bump with DD2 was at 13w so you very well might be feeling something. I didn't feel anything else with her until almost 28w haha so hopefully that won't happen to you.
