Re: 35+ AMA Check-In 9/3
I'm 37 and the mom to a sweet 3.5 y/o girl.
2) Any upcoming appointments?
Ultrasound 9/14 I'll be 6w5d (we did fertility treatment this time around, hence the early ultrasound)
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I've had nausea and tender breasts, which isn't different from the 1st time around. I've already started in on napping due to 1st tri exhaustion.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
I always look forward to a salted caramel mocha and pumpkin cream cheese muffin from Starbucks. That's when I know it's fall
1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
FTM- 37. tw- repeated loss. Really hoping this is our rainbow. 5weeks 3 days according to lmp.
2) Any upcoming appointments?
I had an US at 5 weeks to rule out ectopic. We saw a gestational sac and the beginning of a yolk sac.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Always anxious. I have brown spotting which makes me nervous even though the OB says it can be normal. I don't really have many symptoms except sore nipples and I had one day of nausea. I pee a lot but I always do.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
Butternut squash soup!
36... I'll be 37 in 2 months. STM, D14 daughter... she's crazy and keeps me on my toes.
2) Any upcoming appointments?
9/11 for bloodwork...I don't think I'll have an ultrasound, but not positive.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Tired all the time. Peeing more than usual. If history repeats, I'm one of those annoying women who don't really suffer from morning sickness or other bad pregnancy side effects. We'll see what happens this time around.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
I love all things pumpkin... and sweater weather.
2) I haven't made any appointments yet. I think I know what hospital I want to use, and it's a ferry ride away, so I may not even worry about it until the second trimester. I'll probably just have my GP send me for blood tests and an ultrasound. Then again, maybe I should get all those trisomy tests and everything... sigh.
3) I'm doing okay. Tired, but I seem to be handling it okay for the past however long it's been since the hormones started going, maybe five days?
4) I love frost. I love it when the dirt expands as it freezes and crunches when I walk on it. I love the pretty rimed leaves. Unfortunately, we don't get much of that in the Kitsap Peninsula. I also love the way the shadows get long at dusk. That tells me it's Autumn more than anything else.
2) Any upcoming appointments? Not until Oct 12
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Not too bad, really sore/swollen boobs, a little bit of the nausea, hungry-but-nothing-sounds-good feeling, and a little bit more tired than usual.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
I'm with @SLC1102, definitely the sweater weather, and seeing the leaves change color. And football!
Married June 2012

BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
@FrancisD. So poetic. Unfortunately I'm the opposite. I am a summer lover and can't bear the cold.
@sandbar517 I do like sweaters but I always look frumpy in them.
Hi there. I'm 36 and I hate that I'm considered AMA. Like it's 36. I'm not 50. But I digress. This is pregnancy 5 and hopefully take home 3. DD is 6 and DS is 4
2) Any upcoming appointments?
My first was actually Friday. I went in to discuss future options and clomid and stuff. So he already knows and I'll have my first in about 2 weeks when he can see HB on US.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I'm so incredibly tired. Like worse I think than other pregnancies I've had. Or I just forgot how bad it is. I don't know how I will make it through my work days. Especially if I cut back on my diet coke.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
It's more about the weather for me. Crisp mornings do it. I can't wait. We're still in the 90s here.

1. STM, DD will be 2 in October.
2. No appointments. I'm still looking for a new OBGYN. Old one didn't call me back. Do you know how much labor costs?!?! I shall bestow my (fingers crossed) thousands in insurance on someone else. I said Good Day!
3. Rants: see #2
4. Pumpkin, wind, leaves crunching, just the awesomeness of sweater weather and boots.
2) Any upcoming appointments? I'm getting a blood draw today to help determine when I should have a first real appointment. I have irregular cycles so LMP is not a good measure, but they won't just believe me when I tell them the date I ovulated.... sigh.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? I'm feeling much more sick, much sooner. Hopefully that means a boy? But probably just means my body is tired
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall? Halloween crap is out at stores, looooove it!!!

@justsuzie - FX that this is your rainbow baby. I hope the spotting goes away soon!
@SLC1102 - FX the morning sickness stays away! That would be amazing.
@FrancisD. - A ferry ride away? Does the ferry run 24 hours? What does one do if they want to cross and the ferry is unavailable?
@sandbar517 - I hope October 12 comes quickly for you
@sparkymcgeee - I hate being considered AMA too
@zaclina - I'm sorry the old OBGYN didn't call you back. I hope you find a new one who is wonderful (and returns your calls.)
@pearlvirus - I am sorry you are feeling sick
1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? I am currently 35 and will be 36 when I have the baby. This will be our 4th child.
2) Any upcoming appointments? September 25 is my first appointment but it is just an intake appointment and after that I will get an appointment with my OB.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? I'm hanging in there. I have been so tired, I go to sleep for a few hours and then I wake up and can't sleep any more for the night. Last night I only got 4 hours. I love sleep. I need sleep. I have had some nausea but thankfully no throwing up yet. I did get an RX for morning sickness called in so I have it just in case (I needed it for 1st tri last time)
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall? Soup, pumpkin muffins, fall decorations
2) Any upcoming appointments? End of Sept is the first. I'm fat AND old so they're also making me do the stupid glucose test before the first appointment. I had no GD last time (was fat then too) so I'm hoping for the best. I'm in way better shape this time around though.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? So f-ing tired. SO SO SO tired. I have some nausea but I also have bad heartburn/GERD so could be that too. I had very little morning sickness last time but I was very tired the first tri. I fell asleep at 845 twice this week.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall? The garden spider webs in the morning with dew on them. But, and this is controversial: SUMMERTIME IS THE BEST TIME SUMMER 4 LYFE
I will be 36 at the end of this month and we've been trying for #1 for 2 years. (TW - history of losses.)
2) Any upcoming appointments?
I have my second ultrasound next Tuesday. Since we were NTNP (*TW*) after a loss, I don't know the timing of this cycle. My beta last week showed I was ready for an ultrasound and I was dated at 5w5d on 9/5. (Luckily they also have an ultrasound from a previous follow-up appointment that shows I most likely ovulated a few days before and that date corresponds with the measurement).
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
(TW - Sorry for all the triggers! It's on my mind.) I've never heard a HB or made it past 7 weeks, so I'm really worried about my next appointment which should put me roughly at 6w5d. Other than that, I'm trying to take comfort in the symptoms I have (fatigue, bloating, nausea) and ignoring the bad (mild cramps, brown spotting).
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
It's not an activity, but I'm happy as soon as it's under 100. I love the cool night air (which we won't get here for a while yet). I'm looking forward to soup weather!

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? I'm 34, just turned in August. But someone invited me- I swear! Third time mom, This is my first pregnancy with my boyfriend. We've been together for three years and had decided to try to get pregnant since it is the most important thing at my age.
2) Any upcoming appointments? 8 week appointment.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? I don't feel pregnant. I've taken two tests- both positive. But no real symptoms.
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall? Stews, football and my jeans (while not an activity it's a reminder).
1) Intro: I'm 35 (36 when I give birth) and a STM. I have a sweet 2.5 year old girl and am a SAHM.
2) Appts: 9/26 - They were totally willing to do earlier, but I just don't relish adding extra doc appointments during the (very brief) time in which my daughter in is in preschool. And I couldn't even get my regular doc because apparently she doesn't work the 2 mornings I am free. Super annoying, but we'll see how it goes.
3) Feeling pretty normal, just a little tired. I keep waking up in the night to pee!
4) GTKY: Chili makes it feel like fall! And apple/pumpkin doughnuts! Yum.
1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
This will be our third and final.
2) Any upcoming appointments?
Haven't called to schedule yet. I'm just basking in it being dh and my thing until next week.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
sooo tired. My only concern is for a sticky baby. *tw last month we had a loss
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
Pumpkin flavored everything! Football food. Loving the cooler weather most of all. I love summer, but there is something amazing about the season changes!
Our first appointment in on October 5th. My old doctor is retiring, so this will be with a new practice.
No gripes, I'm just so happy to be pregnant and I hope this baby is sticky!
It's getting nice and cool here and it's definitely feeling like fall!
1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
STM
2) Any upcoming appointments?
Monday, I'm going on a tour of the hospital I want, and then meeting with a nurse to input my condition and history so that they can determine whether I'm qualified to use a midwife.
3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I'm still surprised at how often I need to pee!
4) gtky: What activity or food really makes you feel like yep, it really is fall?
It may seem 'basic' but I love pumpkin spice everything! I especially love pumpkin pie with a thick crust and strudel topping.
