Much better after yesterday's ultrasound! Still feeling the nausea and exhaustion too.
My doctor told me yesterday she will likely induce me at 39 weeks since my last baby was big and had a shoulder dystocia. I was glad to hear she was taking that seriously.

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
My next appt is in 2 weeks

4. Questions/concerns?

@heatherdubrow I was so excited to hear you had a good u/s and strong heartbeat yesterday

I'm glad your doc is taking your history seriously already. All good signs!

1. Due date? 3/4

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support I'm doing alright. I'm mostly exhausted. Some waves of nausea (which just feel similar to car sickness to me ATM, not an actual need to throw up). Some waves of cravings/aversions/hangry-ness. On the plus side, my boobs/nipples are feeling a bit better (even though they somehow got even more huge), so I'm taking that as a win.

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? I had my first beta Monday at 6+1 and the numbers came back over 43,000! Next appointment is my dating u/s at 8+1 (7/24). With all these high numbers, it's up in the air whether it's twins or a very happy singleton. I'll find out then!

4. Questions/concerns?

vflux33 · July 2017

@heatherdubrow @bethennyfrankel So great to hear positive news from you both!

1. Due date? 3/14

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support Yesterday we found out my FIL had a "mini stroke". He's OK (well from that at least--he has a ton of other ongoing health problems). We're trying to schedule a visit to see him, which is gonna be tricky right now.

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? U/s on 7/26

4. Questions/concerns? I have a question but I think I'm going to ask in PAIF since more people there will be able to answer.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@bethennyfrankel awesome beta!! Can't wait to find out how many are in there!

@vflux33 I'm so sorry to hear about your fil.

mdfarmchick · July 2017

@heatherdubrow I'm so glad you had a great u/s yesterday @bethennyfrankel I'm glad you had wonderful beta numbers. @vflux33 I'm glad your FIL is doing okay but thinking of you guys right now!

1. Due date? First week of March?

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support I'm doing okay. The MS has ramped up this week which is reassuring. I can't figure out why I am so hot this summer when it's my first trimester. DS is an August baby and I somehow thought that this summer wouldn't be so bad--but I definitely am a hot mess!

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? 2 August

4. Questions/concerns NA

bethennyfrankel · July 2017

@vflux33 Sorry about your FIL

Do you live far from him? Can't wait until your u/s

vflux33 · July 2017

@mdfarmchick We broke down and finally bought an AC for the bedroom a few weeks before my BFP (we're in Norcal and most ppl don't have AC here even though it gets pretty hot). I am SO glad we got it.

@bethennyfrankel Yeah he's in AZ and he can't travel to see us because of his defibrillator. We have to go to LA for a couple days in August or September, which is halfway there, so we're thinking of scheduling that all together and driving. We can't rush over there right now because of stuff going on at MH's work, unfortunately.

muggle621 · July 2017

@heatherdubrowI'm so glad you had a good u/s yesterday and you seem to have a great doctor!
@bethennyfrankel Wow! Those are great #'s!!! Congrats!
@vflux33 I'm sorry to hear about your FIL, I know that's got to be stressful. I hope he has a quick recovery.
@mdfarmchick I live in Louisiana so I can sympathize about the heat! Hang in there, I know it sucks.

1. Due date? 3/18ish

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support I HATE EVERYONE. Not really, but the irritation and general grumpiness is major today. I want to be happy!!! It doesn't help my work is stupid. I ate some eggs this morning and now I'm feeling squeamish about them suddenly. I hope I'm not getting an aversion to eggs!

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? I'm getting my HCG drawn again on Monday to ensure my levels are still rising. If they are 3,000 we will schedule an u/s.

4. Questions/concerns? Not at the moment

vflux33 · July 2017

@muggle621 Sorry you'r in a bad mood! I'm actually worried about an upcoming egg aversion too. It's my main source of breakfast protein right now and not sure how to deal if I have to stop eating them.

muggle621 · July 2017

We are going to have to start an egg aversion support group thread if that happens!!

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support
I'm feeling a little blah lately. DH has been in his feelings for the last couple of days and his energy is rubbing me the wrong way. We had a rough patch last year and he's been re-hashing feelings from then all of a sudden. I was hoping all of that drama was behind us and we were looking towards the future, but I feel like he's dragging us back to that place.

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments?
First appointment and u/s on 7/27

4. Questions/concerns?
I plan to ask my doctor this, but does anyone know if blood sugars increase naturally during pregnancy? For some reason, my fasting blood sugars have been elevated suddenly (despite my low carb/low sugar efforts over the last few weeks). I'm terrified of having another gestational diabetes scare and I was hoping that my 40lb pre-pregnancy weight loss and diet changes would have helped prevent this.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@muggle621 today was actually the first day that I COULD eat eggs without gagging. I'm having all kinds of aversions but I feel like my nausea is better when I eat protein.

@ladybugsamom sorry about your h. I hope things are better soon!

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@kiki75 and @GG620 how are you doing?

GG620 · July 2017

@heatherdubrow thanks for the tag!

1. Due date? 3/18/18

2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support So crazy tired. I got on the spin bike for 10 minutes last night, said F this, then promptly fell asleep on the couch (womp) ha. I am really going to try to get off my butt after work today.

3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? Third beta and progesterone check on Monday

4. Questions/concerns? Nada

@heatherdubrow so happy that your u/s went so well and it sounds like your doctor is awesome!

@bethennyfrankel ahh still can't get over those numbers! So excited for you girl! Can't wait for 7/24

@vflux33 I am so sorry to hear about your FIL, but very glad to hear that he is okay!

@mdfarmchick I am so early and I wake up every night sweating and its not even hot in our house (AC thank you since it was 97 yesterday). I don't how August will be ha.

@muggle621 hey maybe due date buddy! Oh man, I absolutely love eggs. I def want in on the support group if that happens ha.

@ladybugsamom so sorry about DH's mood. I hope that this is short-lived for you guys

muggle621 · July 2017

@GG620 It looks like we are appt buddies as well because I also am having my betas drawn Monday!
