I'd probably give up my sense of smell. I feel like I could still have a fairly normal life without a sense of smell. I'd be paranoid I smelled bad all the time though.
22 weeks- coconut
Upcoming appointments?
End of the month
Symptoms?
Heartburn and back pain. I'm also hungry all time and have been getting a tad light headed.
Cravings?
Begines with bacon and fruit
Rants/Raves/Questions?
We are starting to try and put together a registry and I'm probably over thinking it, but it's a lot of research. I'm trying to pick an area at a time ( sleeping, swings, bottles, diapers etc) and talk to DH and make a decision for each area about what we want. We've both been learning a lot, but now I'm reading back through some of the threads about recommendations for different things.
I'm also going to be going from working full time to being a SAHM. I'm not sure that I have specific questions yet, but I guess in general I'd like to read about how other moms transitioned and how they prepared or just general advice. I wasn't sure if that'd be a good thread to start or not, but I am curious to read about others experiences.
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste)
smell all day.
Upcoming appointments? Next month
Symptoms? Sciatica in my right hip, although it's been better the last few days. My off-brand snoogle and maternity belt must be helping. Also, my husband tells me I've been snoring extra loud and has landed on the couch the last few nights--oops!
Cravings? More substantial dinners. I've usually gotten away with something light or egg-based, but now I'm craving meat.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The sciatica really. I couldn't even get out of a chair without pain on Tuesday, but a belt has helped a lot (in that I don't cry during my lunch break). I work with an also pregnant PT that said hers faded as baby changed position, and I'm going to naively hope that happens to me.

Before I even saw the other posters I thought smell. I probably use it much more than I realize, but I'm not one of those people that relishes in smells. In fact, lots of fragrance gives me headaches--Bath and Body Works is a nightmare.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 22 weeks; 1.2 lb
Upcoming appointments? April 27th. Glucose test!
Symptoms? Still getting some gas, still puking, and still getting headaches
Cravings? Ice cream. Ben and Jerry's.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Getting off the couch is fun! I do some rolling, grunting, and some hoisting. Full body workout right there! Also, shaving my legs is not fun! I literally see other pregnant woman looking flawless and I keep asking myself " how? I can barely get off the couch/ out of bed somedays let alone put on heels!"
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? I think I could give up sight. I love music too much to give up hearing. I'm a foodie, so no way will I give up taste.
Upcoming appointments? Not until 4/25 (anatomy scan).
Symptoms? No energy. Big appetite.
Cravings? Still lots of protein.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm feeling movement every day now.
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste) Smell seems like it would have the least effect on my lifestyle, so that's my pick.
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow - officials A/S results and I'll know (finally) if I'm out of the woods for having to have an ovary out next month or if it can wait (fingers crossed we wait!)
Symptoms? Pelvic pressure, emotional lately lol - that's been fun.
Cravings? No particular ones but with this nice weather I'd love a glass of wine or a draft beer right about now
Rants/Raves/Questions? My sister is putting way too much pressure on my to include my mother in stuff. She and my mom are besties - I prefer my mother in smaller doses.
the nursery came a long way this weekend. I love sitting in the room already and it's not even half way done.

That's a tough one!! I think taste - I could at least still smell it based on the question.

21 weeks! An endive?! Wtf is that?
Upcoming appointments?
Not until the 21st!
Symptoms?
Lots of sweet little wiggles! Still having heartburn.
Cravings?
None. Weirdest pregnancy I've ever had.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just going with the flow. Excited to meet this guy!
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up?
Taste, I guess?! You could still smell and enjoy texture that way.
20 weeks - banana
Upcoming appointments?
Nothing this week. I have a regular checkup on the 21st.
Symptoms?
Nothing new although I'm noticing lower back pain more when I get up from the bed. It goes away, but it makes trips to the bathroom uncomfortable.
Cravings?
Fruit, especially cantaloupe and pineapple, and chocolate.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not looking forward to the dietary restrictions of Passover this week. I already have enough stomach issues so I'll be staying away from matzo as much as possible. I did buy some chocolate covered matzo though because I know I'll want to have some chocolate/dessert.
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste)
Probably smell because that seems like it would have the least impact. I'm sure it would make eating less enjoyable, but I can't imagine giving up the other senses.
How far along are you & how big is baby? 21 weeks, size of a baseball hat
Upcoming appointments? May 4th.
Symptoms? Food aversions still at it. I do have great energy though!
Cravings? I wanted flour tortillas yesterday and fruit. So we bought a ton of fruit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We need to clear out our 4th bedroom/office to be the baby's nursery. I don't want to be 2 days before delivery and we are scrambling like when we had my son. But then again I did have my son early.
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? this one is tough. I say smell, just bec after working in the solid waste business my noise became desensitized and when people complain about the simplest odors in my current workplace I tell them I can't smell what they're smelling. Plus there's no real concrete numbers for odor exposure limits its all based on perception. LOL.
Upcoming appointments? Not for a couple more weeks
Symptoms? Round ligament pain boo
Cravings? Chocolate and all the desserts
Rants/Raves/Questions? DH has to have wrist surgery in a couple of weeks- no heavy lifting for him. I'm sure my 2.5 will be very understanding.
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste) another for no smell.
I went from working to SAHM with DD. The first few months you won't need more than a book or TV to stay busy with a newborn. After that I'd try and make other SAHM friends. Make sure you're getting out of the house. It's really easy to slip into depression transitioning from working to staying at home with all the hormones mixed in. It's also really easy to miss that you've become a hermit person because with baby it's easier to just stay home. If you are able try once a week or month or whatever works for your family to get out of the house alone. Spend sometime alone, it doesn't need to be anything special just a trip to target will feel like a vacation. Don't be afraid to ask your SO for help. I know it feels like you should be able to handle the household day to day stuff because you're home all day but sometimes you'll want a break or need a hand. I've seen a lot of moms transition to staying home and suddenly their spouse thinks they have a maid, don't let that happen. Just because you stay at home doesn't mean you SO is off the hook for ever doing chores.
@SpotConlon Have you tried any sciatica yoga stuff/stretches? Mines gotten a lot more manageable since I've been doing the stretches.

He's a banana
Upcoming appointments?

Symptoms?
Killer heartburn if I'm not careful. I learned the hard way that seltzer now gives me heartburn.
Cravings?
Green peppers
Rants/Raves/Questions?
What the hell seltzer? Why you have to give me heartburn????
GTKY: If you had to choose to live without one of your five senses, which one would you give up? (touch, smell, hearing, sight, taste) Hands down it would be hearing. I think that's the one I would adjus the easiest with.
