What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Well feck. Just when i thought the MS had finished i puked twice today. I keep getting this awful sour or bitter taste in my mouth. It's driving me crazy.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? sucks
Rant/Rave/Questions? I feel anxious about the NT scan for no good reason but the little what ifs in my head.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? We would get an investment property.
**June Siggy Challenge: You Had ONE Job!**
LO#2 EDD October 18th
13 weeks 2 days/October 9th
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Pretty good actually
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Very similar... little more nauseous early on
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm pissed at my resident on rotation with me. See tw tuesday
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay off a chunk of my student loans, finish our basement, investment property (@buttercream_frosting great idea!)
BFP in September 2014, DS born June 2015.
TTC x2 months.
BFP January 2017.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling so much better overall, but I've been having more migraines recently.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty different (more severe symptoms this time around).
Rant/Rave/Questions? Nothing at the moment.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? I would love to use some of it on house renovations, but unfortunately it would mostly go towards my law school student loans.
2. I think I'm slowly starting to feel better. Still gag and dry heave after brushing my teeth in the morning.
3. This pregnancy has been much harder.
4. I suppose this is a dumb question. I'm not understanding the NT scan? My first pregnancy I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks for confirmation then not again until the anatomy scan at 20weeks. Maybe that was also considered the NT scan? I have another ultrasound next week, but they only added that on to my appointment when we found out we were having twins and they said it was to check the growth and HB bc the doc may not be able to hear both that early on the Doppler.
5. I would pay off our cars, pay some of our mortgage off, and probably save a lot. I would WANT to go on a shopping spree and an awesome vacation, but responsibilities come first. Humph.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling pretty good now!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? More nausea, less throwing up. Last time I would get a wave of nausea that would make me throw up, that happened multiple time a day. This time I was just nauseous 24/7 from around 5-11 weeks and only threw up a couple times.
Rant/Rave/Questions? nope
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? probably put it towards student loans and vehicle loan and whatever's left towards our mortgage.
12+5, 10/13
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Feeling generally OK. Pretty fatigued with DD running around but that's expected. Every now and then I get a bout of nausea but no puking thank goodness.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Just about the exact same but was extremely sick in the beginning.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
DD has started only waking once during the night instead of twice lately. Hallelujah! Haha
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
Pay off the vehicles, credit cards, and student loans!! Oh man would that be nice!!
@buttercream_frosting sorry to hear about your MS coming back!! :-(
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Tired, but I can't figure if it's pregnancy or toddler + storms we've had this week. Super gassy lately and the bump has poked out. Oh and RLP started last night.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? DH says it's been worse, but I think it's about the same.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Finish remodeling our house. And pay off debts, I throw that in there so it's not completely selfish lol.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? everything seems to be getting a little better, but still tired and moody
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? i don't remember being this tired, but i also didn't have 2 kids running around.
Rant/Rave/Questions? people man.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? ugh it is so depressing that all of it would go to bills. pay off our home equity and credit cards. i would prob say YOLO and use some of it for an awesome deck and hot tub though.

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Nausea seems to slowly be going away. I'm fine most of the time but when it hits, its lame. I've started getting headaches, this didn't happen until I was farther along last time so I'm kinda bummed, plus Tylenol does nothing for me so I'm kind of at a loss for what to do.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? It's basically the same. Symptoms have been more severe this time, but they are the same symptoms as last time.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I have an appointment and another us on Friday, so I am looking forward to that.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? I would finish the remaining remodel work on our current house, then sell, and use the rest on a down payment for a new house.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I think I've actually turned a corner. No nausea for a full week!! Crossing my fingers it doesn't come back. Energy is coming back too. Not dying for naps every day and have stayed up passed 8pm 3 nights in a row!
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Almost exactly the same...nausea was more all day this time vs just in the mornings but with DD I actually got sick but haven't this time
Rant/Rave/Questions? Not really..just dying to know sex. We passed on genetic testing so trying to talk DH into taking me for an ultrasound for my birthday..I'll turn 16 weeks on my birthday so I feel like it's meant to be
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Take a fun vacation and put the rest on the mortgage.
10/6 13weeks 5 days
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I think MS has subsided! I'm beginning to feel good. Having some RLP and back aches but overall just soooo much better than I've been feeling
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Now that i'm not feeling sick, it's about the same but the whole first trimester was a shitshow that i had not experienced last time
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
We literally just bought a house (our offer was accepted yesterday) so that money would definitely go to furnishing/decorating the new place. A vacation would be nice too!
10/26 so 11 weeks tomorrow
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Feeling good, my few symptoms have subsided. I even sttn without peeing last night, which would worry me except I read that the uterus is starting to move upward and lessen pressure on the bladder. So we might get some relief for a few weeks until it gets big enough to make life miserable again.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Very similar.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Question for TTM+, I'm curious if your delivery timing was similar for your first and second? In other words if you went early/late with your first was it about the same for your second?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
Go on a cool vacation, pay off the car, and put the rest in savings.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Pretty good actually, ready for that second trimester energy.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? With my first, second trimester was pretty awesome, so I'm hoping this one is the same.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I could have sworn I felt a little movement last night. I know it's not likely, but I did read that it's possible to feel an occasional movement as early as 13 weeks with your second. I could be wrong and DH thinks I am lol.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay of our car and probably invest the rest for us and the kids. I'm sure a small vacation too.
May Siggy Challenge: Parenting Fails
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Just waking up in the middle of the night to pee.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Pretty similar, except I don't remember the middle of the night pee this early.
Rant/Rave/Questions? We announced on Facebook yesterday so I'm just relieved everyone knows now.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? I love seeing how generally responsible we all are
*O17 June Siggy Challenge - You had 1 job!*
12 weeks yesterday! Due 10/17
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
SUPER tired and nauseous still! Hoping it goes away soon.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Completely the opposite! I had a pretty easy pregnancy with my son, and this one has been much harder. Of course this has my mom and sister convinced this baby is a girl, but I think it's mostly just being a STM with a hyperactive toddler, haha.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
None of the above, although I did have a dream last night that I posted a Mary-Kate and Ashley GIF on this board that some people didn't like, and I came back a few hours later and had been banished from the site, hahaha! My dreams are always weird, but pregnancy takes them to another level.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
Pay off my student loans, give my sister some money to start her nonprofit, put the rest toward my kids' college funds
@keriflores I swear I've felt LO move a couple times, too! Nothing consistent yet but little flutters randomly, here and there. Not crazy!!
14 + 1, October 3
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Exhausted and just want to STTN! Unisom is happening tonight. I can't take it anymore! Constipation, yay. Sore boobs, yes still. Joint pain already, ugh.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
So far this one has been easier. I puked daily with DD weeks 6-13. I only had a 2 week period with nasty nausea and regular puking this time around. Otherwise, all the other stuff is the same.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
I fly to San Diego on Friday morning for a friends wedding on Saturday. DH can't leave until super late Friday night and doesn't get in until early Saturday. Which means this mama gets a hotel to herself for one whole night!!! I need a break from mom-ing and wife-ing! I plan on room service, lounging by the pool and taking a dip a few times!
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
How far along are you/when is your due date? 13w1d / October 10th
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? starting to feel better, yay! Don't want to get too excited because last time I was feeling better and then had my worst day of being sick all day long
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? about the same
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? travel! was the immediate thought that came to my head, but realistically I would probably use it to pay off our debt, probably go on a nice family vacation and use the rest towards a down payment on our next home.
10 weeks tomorrow due 11/2
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I've been sick with a chest cold so this last week has just been miserable. I'm starting to feel less tired. The headaches and heartburn have been pretty bad though.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
This one has been so much worse. Literally every aspect. I'm so ready for 2nd tri.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
We have some credit card debt I would pay off first, then a new car because we are a one car family right now which is a pain sometimes, and the rest I would save towards a house when we move to a long term area.
Bring on Second Tri! I hope everyone starts feeling less crappy soon.
I heart YNAB

What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Nausea is getting better. I'm still really tired, but it doesn't hit until later in the day.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? The symptoms are the same, just a lot worse.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I guess I'm just a little disillusioned. I *loved* being pregnant the first time around. I'm just not feeling it this time. That makes me kinda sad.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay off student loans and then buy a car, I think. SO and I currently share a 14 year old Honda Civic. Lol.
How far along are you/when is your due date? 10 weeks + 1 day // due date 10/31
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? just really tired!

Rant/Rave/Questions? none
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? payoff some debt and try to buy an investment property with the rest
*May Siggy Challenge - Parenting Fails*
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Today was the first day I felt normal! Well, I had energy but my back was killing me. I'm hoping the nausea stays away. I also had a great night of sleep and hope that continues too.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? The back pain, insomnia, and RLP has hit way sooner this pregnancy.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I did my blood work today. The tech did four vials and was about to pull the needle out. I asked if more should be taken and then she realized she needed six more vials!! I did not want to get stuck again, so I'm glad I said something.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay off student loans and credit card debt. Leftover would go to upgrades in the house (like finishing our basement).
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Gassy, heartburn hell and hyper emotional
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? About the same although I did stop feeling nauseous yesterday.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
How do my children know when I am about to take a bath?
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay off my student loan and minivan. The rest would go in savings.
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Symptoms= mostly just tired Feelin=crappy because I have another sinus infection
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Still creepily similar
Rant/Rave/Questions? Rant: why does my SO roll his eyes EVERY TIME I ask him for something?
Rave: My in laws just got a new pool...I know where I'm gonna be every weekend
Question: How often are you guys getting your pee tested? Last preg they did it every appointment. This time it's only if they suspect a problem
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay off debt, down payment on a van (our only car right now is a focus and with 3 kids...ugh not looking forward to it), and get rid of hubs' ugly couch and get a nice one.
11+6. Due 10/20
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Fatigue and sensitivity to food
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
This one is completely different! My last pregnancies I had motion sickness, ms, and essentially every other symptom. So far besides the aversions to food and fatigue, it has been smooth!
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Nada
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it?
Pay of the remainder of our mortgage. The interest adds up!
*May Siggy Challenge - Parenting Fails*
What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I had a nosebleed the other day. That only seems to happen to me when I'm expecting. Tired and full quickly.
How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Exact same
Rant/Rave/Questions? Sooooo excited to get to 2nd trimester.
GTKY: If you won $100,000 what would you do with it? Pay down even more on my new house (still building) and save for kids' college.
@curlyq423 I'm surprised it's optional. It's so common here in Australia to do it.
@yenrec Thank you! It freaking sucks.
@shan24 I'm feeling the same. I absolutely loved pregnancy the first time round. I'm hoping i will love it more when I get a real bump and the nausea and MS leaves.
