1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 12 weeks / size of a plum/army man

2) How are you feeling? Good. Almost too good, so I've obnoxiously scheduled an elective ultrasound to make sure everything is looking ok. Yep, I'm one of those.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yes, Girl. I feel like I am, but it's probably just bloat and a little showy.

4) Any appointments this week/last? No real apts, other than my elective ultrasound.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I am over people lately. For no reason. Just a pissy grumpy woman over here.

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during highschool? Britney Spears and I'm sticking with it. bahaha.

Yay! The Ticker Thread!

Thanks Stephy.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
13 weeks - size of a lemon - according to the Bump app, I'm officially in the Second Trimester! (According to my doctor, I have to wait till the end of this week, but whatever, I'm going with the Bump app and celebrating!)

I saw a lemon at my mom's house the other night and it seemed unrealistically large, but she assured me it was a regular size lemon, and now I'm feeling very accomplished.

2) How are you feeling?
Yesterday I had a very bad day for nausea. Today none at all. I'm inclined to say the nausea is tapering off a little and being replaced by headaches and crankiness. I was quite mean to my puppy yesterday by accident, when he was careening around joyfully and I had a headache.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
We don't know yet. I think I would be showing if I was less overweight, I can definitely feel my belly getting hard underneath my belly button, but it's still covered with "food baby" at the moment.

4) Any appointments this week/last?
Had my blood pressure checked on Friday, it was my first normal reading of the pregnancy, and the protein in my urine was greatly decreased too. They cancelled my monitoring visit for this Friday and told me just to monitor myself and call if I notice any prolonged raises.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

I haven't been offered an NT scan, nor do either of my pregnant/recently pregnant friends remember having another ultrasound before 20 weeks. It seems like it's not standard here? (Maine) I thought it was standard in the US generally? Wondering if I should ask my doctor or just go with it?

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during highschool?
Oh gosh. I loved Red Hot Chili Peppers. In fact, I was using them as motivating house cleaning music yesterday.

@auntieraindrop my OB isn't doing another us till I'm 20 weeks or an NT scan. There is a place by me that does ultrasounds, and the basic one is just $25 so I was like, I'm doing it. My last one was about 6 weeks ago, and I'm not supposed to get one for another 8 weeks. Now, because of my weight, last time she did US every 4 weeks with me. I called and asked if she wanted to do that again this time and she said no, but I bet at my apt in 2 weeks that she will change her mind because she wont be able to get accurate growth measurements. I lost some weight but not enough to not need them like I did before.

I'm just disappointed not to have seen anything yet. We were supposed to be 8+2 when I went for my dating scan, but I knew I ovulated late and we were only 6+2 and baby looked like a larva. I couldn't even tell where the head was, and they didn't show me. I'm jealous of all of you who have seen little arms and legs.

supercoolstephy · July 2017

@auntieraindrop I went in because I had some spotting at 6 weeks and I measured at 7 weeks, basically looked like a bean. haha. I just got done with my elective us and I saw arms and legs, and a heartbeat, which was worth its price. I'm sorry you're not seeing anything till 20 weeks and I totally get being bummed about not getting one. We'll see if my OB decides to do another one before 20 weeks.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

14 weeks, peach

2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Been having some lower back pain and my hip flexers are killing me from running.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

70% girl according to the US tech, I'm gonna wait for confirmation. Yes I'm showing, although I feel like I just look more fat not pregnant pregnant yet.

4) Any appointments this week/last?

None this week. We had our NT scan last week.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

My rant is I'm already sleeping so bad. I go to bed a little before 9 pm and wake up every night between 2 and 3 am. Then I pee and pretty much toss and turn until my alarm goes off at 530. Ugh it sucks.

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during highschool?
Maroon 5

auntieraindrop · July 2017

I'm glad everything's alright with you! I spotted from 5 weeks to 10 weeks, but my doctor said it was from my cervix being very sensitive, and it has since stopped. Hard not to worry though! I don't think anywhere around here does the elective scans, I live pretty far from ... everything. Ha.

So I guess I'll just be patient and try not to worry.

supercoolstephy · July 2017

@burnsmommy27 I sleep like crud right now too. If I take half an unisom I'm knocked out till 7 which is great but I have a 1.5 year old who is up at 5:30. Thankfully he plays in his room now that he's in his toddler bed. But I haven't been taking the unisom too often this past week, especially not on the days when I work in the office.

beesquar3d · July 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

16 weeks, avocado

Don't know yet, still have 2 more weeks until anatomy scan. Yes, my belly is really showing on the top.

4) Any appointments this week/last?

No

Round ligament pain is out of control

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during highschool?
aaliyah

KatieEl · July 2017

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks, an orange

2) How are you feeling? I’m feeling surprisingly good despite my scare this past weekend. Still trying to minimize activity until after my follow up ultrasound on Wednesday. Other than that, a little heartburn and a little fatigue.

3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yes (boy) and Yes!

4) Any appointments this week/last? Chiropractor appointment last week, this week I have a follow up appointment for an ultrasound (after my ER visit on Saturday)

5) Rants/Raves/Questions? None at the moment!

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during highschool? Totally mortifying, but I was obsessed--OBSESSED--with the Backstreet Boys.

@supercoolstephy thanks for starting; maybe I’ll stop falling down on the job next week! I loved Ms. Spears too, and I still do. She’s my running, clean the house favorite.

@auntieraindrop glad to hear about the good BP reading!

@burnsmommy those hip flexers are no joke, that’s ultimately what made me stop running last pregnancy, they hurt so dang bad, I finally threw in the towel and moved to other cardio.

burnsmommy27 · July 2017

@supercoolstephy I have been taking a Unisom and B 6 for weeks now at bed. I did move it back later to like 845 in hopes I'd sleep longer

@KatieEl I made it to 24 weeks last time before I had to give up running. I'm not sure I'll make it that long this time around. I find walking so boring and not challenging.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?

16 weeks/baby is an avocado or an action figure lol

2) How are you feeling?
I actually feel awesome. All of my recent bloodwork and urine tests though confirmed I have a UTI but honestly I have no symptoms, so I'm taking my antibiotics and it should clear up in no time. And my boobs, yup they still hurt. I've already gone from a B to a D. God help me ha.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?

Know we do not. A/S is scheduled for 8/18 and hoping baby cooperates. Sometimes I think I'm showing, sometimes I think it's vanishing belly and sometimes I think I'm just fat from not working out haha.

4) Any appointments this week/last?

I had an appointment last week and got to see the baby, which was great. I'm supposed to have my second draw for my NT Scan tomorrow, but I need to reschedule.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Rave: feeling totally human. Rant: hormones. I cried this weekend for feeling left out of all the activities that come with living in MD during the summer that normally comes with drinking and high powered water sports. I'm not even upset I can't drink, so I'm totally blaming it on the hormones.

6) GTKY: What was your favorite band/singer during high school?
I too was a huge Britney Spears fan @supercoolstephy ! I actually dressed up in her Baby One More Time outfit both freshmen and sophomore year for Halloween since I went to Catholic school and had everything necessary lol. I was also a huge fan of Incubus and probably a million more I can't remember hahaha!
