Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 8/16
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
14 weeks today, baby is the size of a lemon!
2) How are you feeling?
Generally great, with random bouts of insomnia. Also surprised at how much pressure and cramping I feel compared to my first.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Got our NIPT results back this week, and baby is a boy! 100% in maternity pants and have an obvious bump of some sort going on... still hard to say at this point what is baby and what is bloat (especially since it's bigger at the end of the day), but I am a STM with closely spaced pregnancies so it's possible it's baby.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Nothing until the end of the month.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Any other STMs having a lot more pressure/cramping than the first time around?
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
Officially in second tri today! Looking forward to telling work so I can stop coming up with outfits that hide the bump
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks- size of a plum
2) How are you feeling?
ok. having a lot of nipple vasospasms at night I might ask my Dr about but thats about it.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
no and no
4) Any appointments this week/last?
this week I have my NT scan today and a normal appt with the dr tomorrow.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
knowing the gender!!!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
15 weeks, naval orange
2) How are you feeling?
Pretty good. Other than the sore nipples I forget I'm pregnant sometimes
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Yes, another boy! I'm showing but I'm pretty convinced it's my food baby and not the actual baby I'm in maternity bottoms pretty much full time now
4) Any appointments this week/last?
I had my monthly checkup on Monday. HB was 150 and everything was good. They took blood to check my thyroid again since they upped my dosage last month.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I scheduled my anatomy scan for 9/20. Why must it be so far away??
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second Tri?
Nothing special really. It was nice to get past the milestone and know I'm a third of the way through this ride. I'd also like to start to feel the baby move.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
15 weeks, naval orange
2) How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good! Saturday got an insane headache that lasted through Monday, checked BP everything was normal. Brought it up at my MW appt on Monday and mentioned we had seen a house and were trying to put in an offer and she was like " well duh, that's the most stressful thing, that's probably why" and when we decided not to put the offer in, it DID go away...
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Not yet, early anatomy scan is next Fri so fingers crossed! I am showing, I can't wear most of my regular clothes.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Quick check up on Monday, heard the HB on doppler, baby was very active and we heard a kick on the doppler!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I got a pair of maternity overalls, and I may wear them every non-work day for the rest of my life.
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
Finding out the sex, wearing cute fall maternity clothes, feeling the baby kick.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 15 weeks. Baby is a navel orange.
2) How are you feeling? Better than first trimester but still tired. Mostly overwhelmed bc we have so much stuff to get done before February.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? Yes we are having a little boy! His name is Jacob Ryan. Yep-strangers are starting to ask about my belly and I'm in maternity pants. I think a good amount of it might still be bloat but there is some baby going on in my bump.
4) Any appointments this week/last? Nope. Next appoinment is on 8/24.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Trying to set up daycare tours since we decided having my mom keep him might be too much strain on her physical health. Now I just have to tell her. That should be fun. I think she has started to think of the reality of it as well but I know she will be disappointed. We are going to arrange for her to pick him up early once a week to have some extra time with him.
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri? Feeling the baby move!!! Can't wait!!!
@karcerplus3 my nipples are so sensitive too! Glad it's not just me.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
13 weeks, lemon!
2) How are you feeling?
Generally better, nausea is still hanging around but it's not as bad and the food aversions are getting better. PGAL brain is starting to kick in again, I haven't had an appointment since 8 weeks and with my history I usually go in every couple weeks through first tri so it makes me nervous that I haven't seen the baby or heard the heartbeat in a month.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Yes it's a girl!!!! NIPT results came back last week, all low risk which helps put my mind at ease. I'm kind of showing, but my clothes hide it pretty well I think. My last pregnancy wasn't very long ago so it's definitely happening earlier this time. My old maternity clothes are all way too big now though so I'm just wearing my stretchy clothes.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Next Tuesday finally!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not sure what this qualifies as but since I've been back to work full time (temporarily, covering a maternity leave) after a year of working from home with my son I'm starting to feel very nervous about being a mom of two and managing everything else, especially since I really should consider going back to full time work. We really need my income right now and my work from home job has not been very well paying, plus we lost healthcare between both DH and me changing jobs last year. But since going back I have not been able to keep up with stuff at home and I am so tired and stressed, how do people do this so well? I have a new respect for my mom and mil, they were so good at this. Ahhhh. Ok rant over.
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
Food haha. I miss food tasting good! Also hoping my energy comes back, maybe it will make life feel less overwhelming!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
15 weeks, the size of a yellow canary
2) How are you feeling?
Generally less tired, which is a huge improvement. Headaches are the new norm it seems (but I'll take it over constant ms and exhaustion).
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
We hope to find out 9/6 at the next ultrasound and I am most definitely showing. They say you show earlier with your second but wow, I barely looked like this at 6 months last time!
4) Any appointments this week/last?
I have a monthly check in tomorrow after work. Hoping to hear the heart beat again to help alleviate my anxiety.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
Finding out the gender!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 14 weeks today, baby is the size of a peach!
2) How are you feeling? Still tired off and on, but overall okay. I am headed back to work soon (I'm a teacher), and am wondering how I'll make it through a full week without a nap! Also, anyone else not sleeping well? I am up at least 1-2 times a night either to use the bathroom or just awake. I miss a good night's sleep!
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing? We don't know yet, but are finding out when we can. I think I'm showing a bit. It may not be super obvious to the world yet, but I feel like I can see my tummy more than I used to. (I'm a FTM)
4) Any appointments this week/last? This week, I have a monthly OB appt. My husband can't go with me, so my mom is, and she's excited to hear the baby!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I don't think so? I've been thinking about when/how to tell my students' families, but I would rather wait to officially say anything until we're into the year and a plan is set for who will be covering.
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri? Hopefully feeling less tired! I haven't been sick as much for a few weeks, so now I just need some energy back. I think I'm also looking forward to really showing (!), though it also will mean giving up my regular clothes, which have still been fitting so far.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
14 weeks, size of a peach
2) How are you feeling?
Increasingly good... energy is back up during most of the day, although I am READY for bed at 9pm. Nausea is now intermittent and mostly only in the morning. And my appetite feels normal (instead of totally ramped up). @psm2462 I've had way more cramping and pressure this time around (also my second). I feel like I have constant round ligament pain, sometimes. And when I run, my pubic bone feels bruised
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
We don't know the sex yet, but are looking forward to finding out.
I'm definitely showing when I'm nekkid! I don't think other people can tell yet-- I just look like I've been overindulging this summer
I am worried about fitting in to my work clothes next week, when I go back to teaching. I've been in stretchy skirts for a while, not classroom appropriate. I can still sleep more-or-less comfortably on my stomach, which is my benchmark for whether I've "popped" or not.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Not this week, but I did get my NT scan results last week (low risk, yay!)
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Well, my ongoing fiasco with quality of care in my region continues. The genetic councilor (in a larger city 2 hours away) called to tell me the NT scan + blood test came back "low risk." Hooray! Three days later my OB called me to say the test was inconclusive, and I needed another blood test. Uhm... After 4 back-and-forth phone calls with the office, the nurse (who was very friendly and helpful this whole time, I should add, especially since I kept saying "I"m so confused!") conceded that my Dr. had "misread" the results, and I did not need another test. I'm wondering if she just didn't *read* the results. Either way, I'm seriously doubting her competence...
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
Having my energy back!! I'm also very happy that my moods are leveling out (at least, relative to how they were). And I'm looking forward to looking definitively pregnant, lol.
Baby#2
DD#1
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 14 weeks, size of a peach
2) How are you feeling? Good. Tired but I think that's more from packing and organizing to move in just over 2 weeks.
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Team green and I'm starting to show with legit baby bump now. I was "showing" before but it was residual loose muscles and fat from having my son in April. I feel like I am now starting to be more legitimately pregnant looking.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Nope.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I mention this in the random spread but our church caught fire last night and about half of it is completely ruined. Thankfully they have that is still OK is where the main auditorium is, so hopefully they will be able to clean it up from all the smoke damage and have it be "good as new".
Since we are moving we actually won't be around once they move back into the church building, so it turns out that last Sunday was our "last Sunday" and we didn't even know it.
just really a little bit sad today. Thankfully no one was hurt and really it's just a building.
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
After we move them really looking forward to getting back into a mild workout routine. I worked out with my son from the second trimester all the way up to my due date and it made for overall a great pregnancy and an awesome delivery. Really hoping to repeat that this time around!
1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
12 weeks, size of a plum
2) How are you feeling?
much better lately! Nausea is almost gone
3) Do you know baby's sex? Have you started showing?
Yes! We found out last week with the blood work results, it's a girl!! Not really showing yet.
4) Any appointments this week/last?
Nope
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Nope!
6) GTKY: Since most of us are over/almost over first tri, what are most looking forward to in second tri?
More energy! I have been almost napping during my 1 year olds nap time every day!
