GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be?
Re: PGAL check in 4/26
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? Waiting to hear back on Fifths Disease blood work, and waiting for my 20 week anatomy scan on Monday. I keep waiting for baby to kick more, it will make me feel more confident.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? State Testing is finally over! But I just found out that my mother-in-law has squamous cell carcinoma, it doesn't seem like it's too bad at this point, because no one seems very concerned so far. I just hope it goes away, she's a wonderful person.
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I never get my fingernails painted because I will just pick it off and they'll look terrible. I usually only get a pedicure 3 times a year, lol, at the beginning of summer, before the first day of school, and over winter break. I don't like to go to nail places though, I go to Natural Body Spa and get them done with a gift card my grandmother gets me for Christmas each year.
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? Yesterday was our a/s, and ended up being very eventful. I'm on bedrest until my appointment next Tuesday, and I'm on progesterone suppositories until further notice. If you missed my update yesterday, it's in the anatomy scans thread.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? DH was just incredible yesterday. I am so thankful to have a true partner in every aspect of my life, and to see how much he already feels like a father was just amazing. Unfortunately, I am hopelessly behind with work stuffs, so at least this bedrest will be put to good use!
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I used to get a mani/pedi once or twice a month as needed. Then came morning sickness, and then came me not caring as much as I used to. I need a pedicure asap though, my feet look rough, so I'll be going back soon.
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? baby girl looked great at the A/S on Friday, which was a big relief. I've been feeling her move around consistently, too... the best feeling!
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? I need for school to be out. Oh, I've mentioned that? Sorry....
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I will usually get a pedicure a few times a year, and other than that I do them myself. I try to keep my finger nails painted, because otherwise they peel and break. Right now they are a robin's egg blue... which my mom will promptly criticize the next time I see her.
How far along are you? 20+2
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? Just had my a/s this morning and feeling better since no problems came up. I had been feeling great emotionally for the past few weeks and then at the end of last week just started freaking out... had to take a few days away from the bump to keep my nerves in check. But I'm feeling good now and hope to stay that way.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? going on vacation tomorrow! So if I disappear again for a while it's for a good reason this time instead of an anxious reason.
Any Questions? I've already been asked a couple times about my registry... seems early to me but I'm happy for any excuse to put things on a wish list. ;-) Is it crazy to put one together to give to people when they ask over the next couple of weeks?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? meh. I go through phases where I like the look of nail polish and phases when I hate having it on because it just chips and then is a big pain to remove. when I do get it done I prefer gel polish and I have a soft spot for some of the designs (ombre especially). but I HATE removing gel. For the last six months I've done nothing-- no polish on hands or feet-- and am happy with that! should probably get a pedicure just for the skin and cuticle part before sandal season strikes, though.
How far along are you? 18w1 d
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? Ok. I have an appointment tomorrow can't wait to here the heartbeat and hoping they schedule my as scan. I at the point where I don't really feel pregnant. So it makes me anxious. Might have felt a little movement but not sure.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? Life is busy. Lots of work. But things are good.
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I just let my nails do their own way. They stay pretty short.

What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise?
This week has been rough. Called doc for an emergency appointment because I woke up with terrible pains on my right side. After tons of water and lots of rest it mostly went away. But the headache kicked it (which I am blaming on barometric pressure). Finally feeling better this afternoon except the RLP thats kicking my butt.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life?
Not a whole lot, really. Construction on our house is finally wrapping up. Just have to fix one spot on the floor and then we will paint. Can't wait.
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be?
Ever since DD started taking ballet where there's a nail studio right next door I have been going every other week or so. Right now, however, I have a terrible self done nail job that is chipping and my nails are starting to break. I needed to trip them anyways.
How far along are you?

GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I only get the dipping powder now, but rarely! Dipping powder, gel, acrylic is all against hospital policy so boo. I only get my nails done for special occasions.. but I LOVE it. Love love love. I need to soon just because I'm pregnant. I'll definitely get them done before delivery!

"Sugar Fancy Tutu"
Luckily no bleeding when I woke up but still super nervous. I have an appointment with my doctor this morning and we will listen to heartbeat. I seem to always have a ton of anxiety a day or too before my doctors appointment.
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? kicks! And major stomach tightness, @Sugargirl1019 . I was up most of the night feeling like my ute was screaming, "let me out!" And my organs were like "don't squish us!" And my abs were like "we'll hold the ute in!" At least, that's how I explained it to h lol.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? long weekend this weekend yay.
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? toes I do myself, fingers I don't do because I pick it and any little wear and tear/chip makes me angry and it's not like I can just not do dishes or use my hands....

What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise?
I'm so burpy. Yuck. And if I move at all within an hour after a meal (so you know, basically every breakfast and lunch) then I feel like garbage (nauseated and just so uncomfortable). I've started feeling kicks though, and that is such a wild feeling!
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life?
Worrrrrrrrk. The FDA is here this week doing a very normal, very scheduled audit. Even though we ALWAYS do very well, everyone spends the whole week freaking out. That plus the zero motivation I've had to accomplish anything means it's Thursday afternoon and I still have a ton of assigned tasks to finish before Friday at 5.
Any Questions?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be?
Rarely, though I do like the actual manicure/pedicure. But I spend a decent amount of time every day in gloves, which just wrecks fingernail paint. Once it's chippy it looks disgusting to me, and I have to take it off.
I've been using the crap out of my Formula 2 clear polish though - I did not get the nice pregnancy nails, mine just peel like crazy, then I pick at them and chew them. The Formula 2 is helping, but I have to remember to apply every night.
Glad you have an appointment to ease your mind today.
@heatherwilson321 sorry about your upcoming loss anniversary it is hard. Mine was in march and cried a lot. Take care of yourself
@heatherwilson321 we will all be here for you on 5/24!
How far along: 18+5 today!
What's going on baby/pregnancy-wise: I continue to be frustrated I can't feel baby move. Or, maybe I can but I can't tell what it is. On the other hand, I like how my body looks with this obvious bump, my anatomy scan is < a week away, and I had a LOVELY dream about baby the other night, my first dream about her. (I still think she's a girl even though everybody else is guessing boy.)
What's going on in other aspects of life: I'm just busy with work! Lots of grading to do and the weekends are starting to get booked up with various fun things. So I think these last 7-ish weeks of school are going to fly by.
Any questions: not especially; just wishing everyone well!
GTKY: I bite my nails when they get too long, so no real nail care. I enjoy getting a pedicure now and again.
How far along are you? 22 weeks tomorrow
What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? Everything's fine since getting our test results back. Hubs and I had opposing views of what should be done if they came back positive and that made things very hard for a while. But I'm glad we went through it because I have a clearer idea of what my decision would be if we ever did have a child diagnosed with a trisomy syndrome. I'd have that baby and love him/her to pieces, and hubs would just have to deal. I don't think he'd regret it in the end.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? We're planning a trip to visit my family in the US, so that's something to look forward to.
Any Questions? I know so many of you are still struggling with PGAL brain, and I wish comfort and relief to all that do. Is anyone not? Now that I've hit the halfway point and our worries have been resolved, I feel like I've dropped to the low end of the PGAL brain spectrum or off of it altogether, and I'm wondering if that's odd.
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? Au naturale! Nails, hair, and face. I currently have a coat of clear nail strengthener on my toes, but that's not something that happens very often.

What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise? had our AS on Monday and everything looked good. We won't see the Dr for official results until our next appointment but I assume if something significant needed to be discussed we would have heard. He's been good about that in the past.
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life? I've been feeling much better about this pregnancy in the last few weeks especially. Almost no worries and I can't say I had real anxiety the same way others have. I'm just excited to move forward and have our baby here. I'm hoping to do some work on DS' new room this weekend. Once that's done, we'll focus on getting everything out and organised for baby. Yay!
Any Questions? nope
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be? I love getting pedicures. I rarely get manicures though because I destroy them so quickly. My toes stay nice for a lot longer and I love sandals so it's worth it in the summer. I'm still sporting the grown out pedi I got before our Florida trip at the end of February though...time to get that fixed!

What's going on with you baby/pregnancy wise?
For the most part, I've felt surprisingly good. This week has just been rough. We've had something to do after work every day, so I'm just exhausted and in desperate need of some couch time.
Still haven't felt the baby move, which makes me anxious. But she's moving plenty when we use the doppler.
Just met with HR at work and found out I get three months of paid leave once I have the baby, so that's good news!
What's going on with you in other aspects of your life?
I alternate between feeling like time is moving really quickly and dragging extraordinarily slow.
Any Questions?
For the STMs, what are things you wished you'd registered for (or for more of)? What did you register for an not use?
GTKY: Lets talk nails! Do you get them done professionally? Do them yourself? Just let them be?
I used to religiously get them done every 3 weeks, now I get them done and wait until they're so terrible I can't take it anymore until getting them re-done.
@BigBadWolf12 and @MyNamesTaken - It was reassuring to hear that others are experiencing less anxiety than expected. Thanks for your input!
The due date for my loss is coming up in June, so I feel like that is going to be my next hard thing.
I'm so glad y'all got an all clear and are on tract to have a healthy and hopefully happy remainder to your pregnancy!! Also, hope the depression is being managed and you're able to end the bedrest! Hugs!

I completely understand your fear, though. I've had two different Drs at my practice promise me my anxiety medicine would be fine to take, and I still can't bring myself to take it. I took it one night, after 20 minutes of sobbing because I couldn't decide which was worse for her- panic attacks, or the medicine.
ETA: I'm sure you know, but also be careful about how far the applicator goes in.
I am glad to hear that, physically, you're alright. High risk pregnancies are scary. How are you doing emotionally? Please know that I'm sending lots of big bear hugs your way. You're so kind, strong, and understanding, an inspiration and a light to others. I'm wishing you well.
