i think we have a small group, but hope to hear your updates!
If your due date is 4/4, 4/11, 4/18, or 4/25, your "ticker" changes today! Join us.
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks filling out like a blueberry
2. How are you feeling?
Pregnancy wise pretty good, but beginning of school year sickies got the family, so I've been out all afternoon with a cold. Biggest symptom has been exhaustion, which doesn't help the sickness!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not for two more weeks... getting anxious to confirm everything.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Was looking forward to a quiet long weekend at home, but alas my MIL texts DH to tell him their family of four + dog is coming down to stay with us and visit us and DD. So nice of her to let him know... Also, the bacne : x
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
IRL or with unlimited funds? IRL either run to the gym, watch an epidsode of some adult tv, or read. $$$ I'd get a massage!

Re: Wednesday Ticker Change 8/30
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks. Size of a blueberry.
2. How are you feeling?
I've been feeling fairly well, although this week has brought on some challenging M/S and fatigue. Ginger, sea bands and constant snacking have seemed to keep symptoms somewhat manageable. Planning on calling my nurse hotline tomorrow to get exact dosages for unison + vitamin B6.. seems like there's varying dosages I'm finding online!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Next week for our first U/S and intake with the clinic. I'm really looking forward to making sure things are progressing as they should.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Anyone have suggestions for a comfortable baby carrier for those with back and hip issues?
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
I'm currently kid free, but I would enjoy a nice walk around my favorite park.
we used a baby ktan very minimally with the first and a more structured graco basic model for carriers. Didn't use either enough to give feedback but plan on getting a toola this time due to lots of recs. I had a CS so had tons of back issues and baby girl had to be moved constantly. I bought a large exercise ball early on and rocked/bounced her on that when I couldn't walk anymore. Best investment!
good luck with your appt!!
I've read many places that not experiencing MS throughout pregnancy is normal, but I understand why you are feeling that way. There are many unknowns before the first U/S. I take TummyDrops ginger (you can buy them on Amazon), and they have been a lifesaver. I picked up some GinGins hard candy at the coop so I'm hoping these work just as well! I can keep you updated if you are in need of ginger at some point.
Thanks for the great advice on carriers and the exercise ball. That sounds like a great alternative when you're feeling tired. The Tula looks like a great carrier. When I've held my friends' newborns my whole upper body & back gets sore quickly so I'm hoping for a carrier that's easy and supportive. Looking forward to hearing about your appointment in a few weeks!
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
8 and a raspberry
2. How are you feeling?
Exhausted and ms. Tuesday I felt terrible it took me to about 7pm to realize I had the flew and not terrible morning sickness. I threw up 5 times and was soooo tired. I ended up with a fever that gave it away.
3. Any appointments coming up?
I had one today. Got an us and everything looks great! They said I had a little bleeding from my implantation so not to freak out if I had spotting.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
not baby related but
my husband works late, gets home between 7:30 & 8. I hate him not being here.
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
right now take a nap. In reality I would need to clean. But for fun I would work on a crochet project.
6. Lady beetle
2. How are you feeling?
Exhausted, sore boobs and all day sickness. Worse when I'm hungry. And seems to be worse again everysecond night.
3. Any appointments coming up?
Not until 9 weeks
4. Rants, raves, questions?
not baby related but
.. i am from outback australia. I am really worried about our 45*C+ days during our summer Nov-March
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
Rest! Walk the dogs or lunch with friends
Hi @knottie20260dd9310d77a0 sounds like ginger could give some ms relief
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
7 weeks! Sorry I'm late to the game. Baby is a little blueberry!
2. How are you feeling?
Tired ALL THE TIME though it's better now than it was weeks 4-5. Sore nipples. Like, I can't even take my bra off without wincing sore. I'm showing already! I don't know if it's bloat but I can barely button my pants. No weight gain that I know of. Aversions, aversions, aversions. Someone had hummus for lunch yesterday and I had to hide the gagging.
3. Any appointments coming up?
First u/s in a week!!! I cannot wait. I haven't had any morning sickness really so I want to make sure everything's okay.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
Rants: my pants. I don't want to get maternity pants yet but I have to unbutton them during the day and something's got to give!
Raves: The way my husband kisses my tummy and wishes our little blueberry goodnight every night. Swoon.
Question: who else isn't having morning sickness? I mean, I'm queasy every so often but it lasts 5 seconds tops and then goes away. I was more nauseous on the pill than I am now. So naturally I'm worried. lol.
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
I guess this doesn't apply to me because I don't have kids (yet!)
@amandabockman with my first i bought a maternity belly band so i could wear my pants unbuttoned until i went to maternity pants.
1. How many weeks are you? How big is baby?
6 weeks and the size of a pea (or so they say)
2. How are you feeling?
Good other than the fact that I've never been so tired in my life! I can sleep 11 hours then take a nap and still be tired!
3. Any appointments coming up?
I have a physical on 9/12 and then I have to go back for another u/s 9/25 because I have a larger than normal cyst on my left ovary they want to keep an eye on.
4. Rants, raves, questions?
I'm pretty sure my boobs are already getting bigger and I'm not too happy about it....
5. GTKY: If you had 1 free hour, kid free, what would you do?
This is my first pregnancy so I don't think this one applies to me! :-)
