1) How far along are you with which number? 18+2 with #3

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies? Yes! It's still not all the time, but its getting more and more. Honestly, I can't remember when I felt movement with my other two. It's all sort of blending together at this point.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom? The movement.

But, if I have to choose a real symptom, symptom, then I guess the out of breath thing. It's annoying, but not painful or debilitating like sciatica or nausea.

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged) DH is a doctor, so has some L&D experience from his med school rotation. He's always been pretty clinical during L&D. It's better than him freaking out, but not my absolute favorite. He's in orthopedics and during my first delivery, while I was pushing and throwing up, was casually chatting with the doctor between my legs about her recent shoulder injury and surgery. I wanted to strangle him.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO? We met in college when we had a class together and have been together almost 14 years.

1) How far along are you with which number?

17 weeks with #2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

I feel movement everyday just not consistently yet. I don't remember exactly when I started to feel my 1st move but I know I started to feel this one earlier.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

Feeling the baby move around!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

This is his first with me but when I was 17 we got into a car accident and he was standing next to my hospital bed holding my hand in the ER and he passed out. I'm hoping it was a result of the mild concussion he had and delivery doesn't make him pass out!

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
We met when I was 17 and went to FL over summer break to visit my aunt. She introduced us so I would have somebody around my age to hang out with while I was there. We started dating pretty quickly and dated on and off for 11 years. This year is 3 years since we have been back together for good and 14 years this month since we first started dating.

ineedsixeggs · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

19+6 with baby 2! So close to halfway.

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?
Yes, much more consistently now and even ocassionally from the outside! I probably felt the first flutters a little later than last time, but the outside kicks were about 2 weeks sooner.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

My pregnancy boobs are awesome. Why can't they just stay like this?

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)
My husband and I were both surprisingly calm for at least the first 18 hours. However, he did tell me in the car on the way to the hospital that he didn't like our boy name anymore (we were team green). That was slightly infuriating, but luckily we had a girl!

He also posted an internet picture of a newborn on facebook while I was still in labor. Just for kicks. The funny part was, even though the baby in the picture was a different race, he/she looked strikingly similar to ours.

5) GTKY: How did you meet your SO?
We met at summer camp. He is 3 years older than me, so he was actually a counselor in my group. Once I graduated we worked one summer there together. We also went to college together, but we didn't actually start dating until after he graduated.

sarahunderthesea · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number? 20 weeks, halfway, with #2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies? Feeling more and more movement everyday and even a little from the outside. Definitely earlier with this one; DD was flutters at 16 weeks, this one flutters began by 14 weeks with clear thumps by 16.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom? My preggo boobs have just started coming in! I'm a DD before pregnancy but I like the perkiness of preggo boobs and the movement. Always the movement.

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged) H was a trained paramedic so he kicked into that mode throughout L&D. "Keep the baby in until you can pass her off to a medical team." Yay for training because he was useless once we got to the hospital. His dad had to yell at him to take my socks off when I wanted them off, because we all know you can't reach your feet at that point.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO? He was the creepy kid in HS but we ended up having mutual friends. We've been together almost 6 years and married just over 1 year.

kissthesky32 · June 2017

@ooodalollly I forgot about the boobs! I change my answer. These boobs are amazing.

JDW0325 · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?
18 + 4 Baby #2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?
SO MUCH MOVEMENT. Way earlier than with my son. I love it! Can definitely be felt from the outside too which my husband and son love! Last night my son had his hand on my belly and felt her kick and he got so excited! We tell him that is her way of saying hi to him

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?
+1 to the movement. I love it. I also love the awesome skin and hair.

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)
He was great! Maybe a little reserved at first but once things got going he was awesome.
Funny story- I was in full labor (no epi yet) and I kept telling him "I can't do this I can't do this". He said "It's a little too late for that now". My response was "wrong answer asshole". Not sure where that came from, or why I felt the need to YELL it, but man was it funny. I burst out laughing after, he did too, and I thought the nurse was going to pee herself.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
Mutual friends! Starting talking via internet for a couple weeks then met in person. Been together 10 years!

jhsoontobe3 · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?
17&6 with baby #2!

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?
Definitely kicks and flips but still nothing from the outside yet. I had an anterior placenta with DD so I didn't feel anything until 21 weeks.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?
My bump! Does that count? Lol. I love being pregnant and this quickly growing bump. I just think pregnant bellies are so cute!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)
DH was surprisingly great! Originally he didn't want to look 'down there' while she was being born or even cur the cord. He was super supportive. He did end up watching and was amazed. He even ended up cutting the cord. Hoping this time is even better even.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
DH and I met in high school (I was in 9th grade and DH in 11th). We had a mutual friend. Every morning I ate breakfast with the same group of people. Apparently said mutual friend owed DH a favor. DH told said friend, "I want you to introduce me to that girl you eat breakfast with every day!" I wanted nothing to do with DH that morning but ended up needed a ride home from school. DH gave me a ride home from school and the rest is history.

we've been together ever since. 2 years married in September and 8 years together (we got married on our anniversary).

bannaners · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

17+4 with baby #2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

I am feeling this baby a lot and from the outside for a couple weeks already! My husband got to feel the baby this week which was so fun

last time I felt baby super early too but not as consistently or as strong!

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

my pregnancy boobs are fun lol I am an A cup so any help in that department is nice

also my hair and nails are doing some great things!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

he took a video of the whole thing and was great at making sure I was comfortable. We both laugh and stay calm typically in stressful situations so that was nice! I had an epidural and a quick birth so it was pretty pleasant all around. But we did both totally forget to finish packing the hospital bag. He went back the next morning to get everything we had forgotten.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
we met in a class in college, I was kind of a cocky jerk when we first met but thankfully he stuck around long enough to find out I am not always like that. We got engaged 8 weeks later. Lol super fast but I was absolutely certain I wanted to marry him within a week of starting to date. We have been married 5 years and together almost 6 years now.

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

18+2 with #2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

Some flutters here and there. I think it's about the same time but in my first pregnancy I talked myself out of it being movement a lot.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

I'll go with movement because this heartburn can eat my ass.

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

When we decided to do a c-section, the nurse said to him "He'll be here in about 15 minutes." DH ran from the room and down to the waiting room where the circus was to tell them we were moving to a c-section in 15 minutes. I asked him not to go. DH came back right as they were wheeling me out of the room to OR. He asked "Where are you going?" Bitch to have a baby let's go. My nurse was like "Why did you leave? I said the baby would be here in 15 minutes." DH thought they meant the doctor. Let's go you're making me late.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
Online. We had mutual friends and started talking online randomly one day. After we had officially started dating, our mutual friends were all like "I totally should have introduced you guys!" You get no credit we did this ourselves.

ugoglencoco · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?
18+1 with #3

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies? Yes! Finally in the past week it has gotten more pronounced, and DS1 felt it for the first time this morning!

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom? Is bigger boobs a symptom??

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged) DH is very squeamish about blood and stuff and has almost passed out both times. With DS1 he at least was able to cut the cord, but with ds2 he was ghost white and dizzy so he had to go sit in a corner. Lol

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO? We were set up on a blind date. We went to a bar with 2 other friends, did a lot of drunk making out and the rest is history!

MississippiCatfish · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

18.4 with #4

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

I started feeling movement at 12ish weeks, which is interesting because it was 15 weeks with all 3 other pregnancies.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

Edit- I totally misread this. Ha. I'll say boobs too.

Nausea!!!! I do not want to be puking at 18 weeks, but I did yesterday. Please go away. Although in my 3rd pregnancy I started developing SPD around 20 weeks (I think around that time?) and that's almost as bad... maybe I should just take what comes...

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

He has been awesome. I really like to be left alone unless I ask for help, and that can be tough! Especially with longer labors. But he does great and doesn't let me see him playing on his phone or drifting off, which would annoy me but I would probably do for 12+ hours labor/in the middle of the night.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
We met on Eharmony:) he was my first and only online dating site date! We were engaged 4 months later. And married a little more than a year after our first date. It was just right:)

sorry about the formatting!

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies? Barely. I think a but earlier this time.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom? Hmm. My hair looks like mine again. It got straighter with my ds, now it has body again. I like the way my new heartburn is easily remedied!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged) He was late! My induction failed, so they said we are doing c section. It took him over an hour to get to the hospital! We were all, where is he! He was "oh, finishing things at work" smh. Then he was good during the c section and going with baby but was getting annoyed because I was out of it and kept falling asleep ( I have narcolepsy!!) Until the nurse told him the stuff I was on to prevent seizures was sedating! I loved the way that shut him up and he was good after that and really good for the days we were in. But let me tell you he had better not be late this time!

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO? At the hospital. We were both thinking of going to med school once upon a time and went to a community seminar and both of us were way younger than the senior citizens.

Bonnie Sue · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?
17w5d 5th child, 3rd pregnancy (oldest two are adopted, then my 2 yr old, and my last I miscarried at 16w)

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?
I am feeling movement. It's amazing! I never felt anything like this with Emma baceuse she had an anterior placenta.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?
the movement, for sure!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)
He's amazing. He's completely comfortable around stuff like that. With Emma they were about to break my water. He was eating a salad and was directly across the room from us so had a perfect view. The dr said you might want to look away since you are eating and he said "eh, dinner and a show!".

Good hair!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)
Ive had 2 c-s and he is right with me so I love and need that. He always looks right in my eyes and tells me loves me.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?
We met in our Masters program. I was lonely in a new City with no friends and every time I saw him he made me laugh and smile. I fell hard! Thankfully he did too! We were inseperable and made a great friend group we are still really close with.

littlemissc17 · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

18 weeks with baby#3

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

Yes, finally feeling movement more consistently the last few days. I've felt it earlier than with my first, but later than with my second.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?

I have to agree with other posters that the movement is the best. It doesn't matter how many pregnancies I go through, it is truly the most special feeling in this world.

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

DH was amazing. He was so attentive and nurturing. After that experience I was ready to have like 10,000 babies with him lol. Not really funny, but kind of cute...he took notes and "journaled" the labor & delivery. He even noted what I wore to the hospital and score of the Bulls game.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?

We met on Match. Shout out to the internet marriages lol. We knew it was love right away and married on the one year anniversary of our first date.

peacedancelove · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number? 18 weeks with number 2

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies? Yes, I'm pretty sure it's earlier. Not a ton but definitely feeling something.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom? I actually really love my belly. After a previous mc I am happy to watch it growing :-)

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged) He was actually really good, left me alone for the most part but let me squeeze the snot out of his hand.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO? We met at a party, lol, we are so cheesy. We tried to steal the cake that my cousin had made and eat the whole thing. We are nerds.

TeacherMama7 · June 2017

1) How far along are you with which number?

I'm 19 weeks today!

2) Are you feeling movement? Earlier or later than previous pregnancies?

I am feeling some movement but not anything strong and not often. But still earlier than with my son.

3) What is your favorite (or least annoying) symptom?
Any sort of movement, even if it isn't a lot, and my baby bump!

4) How has your husband or SO responded in labor/deliveries past? (Humorous stories encouraged)

He was extremely supportive. I had predromal labor and went through 6m labor pains from about 8pm- 5am ish every night for five nights before DS was born. He would wake up and pray the Hail Mary with me to help me get through contractions each night. Even when I was in too much pain to pray it, he prayed it for me.

In the hospital, he held my hand, he held one leg as I was pushing, he texted my parents and sister updates along the way... he was perfect. I told him that if anything happened, he should go with our son if he had to go to nicu. And he did, and my husband just looked at me and I nodded and he went. He remembered and did a great job of staying with our son.

5) GTKY: (Sorry if this one has been done. I can't recall.) How did you meet your SO?

we met on match! We dated for a year and then were engaged for a year, and this August will celebrate our 4th anniversary!
