Your "ticker change day" is the day you switch over to being another
full week pregnant (ie: 5 weeks instead of 4 weeks and 6 days).
If your EDD is 5/3, 5/10, 5/17, 5/24, or 5/31, this is for you!
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Any appointments coming up?
4. Rants/raves/questions?
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?

Re: Thursday Ticker Change 10/5
2. How are you feeling? Tired and big, nausea seems to be plateau-ing
3. Any appointments coming up? First ultrasound next week!!
4. Rants/raves/questions? With DD, we elected to not do the optional genetic testing to help keep our worries at bay. Now, I'm contemplating getting it done, even though there isn't a family history for anything. I guess just being paranoid.
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences? I can't drink milk like I used to (and I normally LOVE milk) and fruits are a pure turn off. Even just water makes me queasy sometimes! I'm craving salts and sweets, but nothing out of the ordinary quite yet.
BFP 2/25/14 EDD 11/5/14 BD 11/4/14
BFP 8/26/17 EDD 5/5/18
2. How are you feeling? A little nauseous usually at night, but pretty good overall. I'm getting over a cold, so that's overpowering any pregnancy symptom
3. Any appointments coming up? First trimester screening on Oct 20
4. Rants/raves/questions? I can't wait to find out the sex. I don't know if my insurance would pay for the blood test
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences? Not really. Not craving much, but if I am, pretty normal stuff

10 weeks/Strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
Sad. Every time I eat something delicious it makes me sick.
3. Any appointments coming up?
I have like an orientation on the 10th with the midwife we'll be using. (Fingers crossed it goes well)
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I wish this tiny thing wasn't making me feel like death all the time...
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
I don't have too many weird food preferences anyway, so anything I crave seems kind of normal to me. The aversions are insane though. How can every single vegetable possibly make his sick???
6 week, sweet pea
2. How are you feeling?
Tired and nauseated most of the day since a few days now. Haven't been sick - yet
3. Any appointments coming up?
Appointment with gyno on October 18th at 7w 6d. Have the option to pay for an ultrasound at that appointment, which we will definitely be doing (we're from Montreal, Canada, so the usual two ultrasounds are paid for by government healthcare - funded by our taxes - but this is in addition to those two). Had a miscarriage at 5w 3d in July so I'm anxious to see that everything's ok this time.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Wish I were not feeling so nauseated all of the time, but thankful to be pregnant and hope this one goes all the way!
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
Unless it's the exact moment when hunger hits, any thought of food turns my stomach. No real cravings yet, just trying to eat things that make my tummy feel better rather than worse!
1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
10 weeks!
2. How are you feeling?
Honestly, this past week has been the worst! Yesterday I kept throwing up everything and slept for 36 hours straight!
3. Any appointments coming up?
12 week appt Oct 19th
4. Rants/raves/questions?
So ready for the sickness to go away so I can enjoy being pregnant!
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
I haven't been able to stomach any seafood which I normally love!
10 weeks- golden snitch, Ferraro Rocher, or poker chip according to Babysizer
2. How are you feeling?
so much better thanks to rx meds!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Next Tuesday for the appointment I pushed for
4. Rants/raves/questions?
So much closer to 12 weeks!!!!
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
We eat meat in almost all of our meals and I CANNOT.
2. How are you feeling? I'm weird. This is when my first trimester symptoms go away (nausea, fatigue) and when my second trimester symptoms show up (migranes, crying/mood swings). I'll take it over the nausea, but no point of my pregnancy was "easy" last time. I'm already getting migraines again, which I don't in normal life, and I cried at work today for no good reason
3. Any appointments coming up? Monday. I'm dreading the copay more than anything else
4. Rants/raves/questions? I thought about putting this on the UO thread, but I'm not sure it's U. I find most natural birth books very offensive. I feel like a) they are trying to make me afraid of medical technology and distrust the profession and b) tell me how my labor is supposed to feel. As if my experience being different makes it wrong. I do want to go med-free this time, but not out of fear-out of wanting to try it. My medicated birth with Viking was no less a miracle than anyone else's experience.
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences Nothing out of the norm, just pickier. My salads have to have the works or I don't want them. It has to be a full beef hot dog and not the bargain brand. I have been craving Greek food like crazy. Always a favorite of mine, but I've never NEEDED it like this.
8 weeks - wild strawberry
2. How are you feeling?
So joyful in my heart but miserable physically. It's my 30th today and I threw up for the first time!
3. Any appointments coming up?
We had our 1st appt with the hospital midwives group - went well. No US as I'm having my last US and appt on 9th with my reproductive endocrinologist. We will hear he heartbeat for the first time (just saw it last time at 6w3d). Also having our 1st appt with the home broth midwives then hopefully deciding between the 2 options.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
So many in this group are 10 weeks!
My mother in law is flying in tomorrow from Australia - which is lovely. But I've been pretending I'm less sick than I am, hopefully I can muster up strength to do nice things with her and DH while she's here. She's coming to our heartbeat scan, an
I totally get the crazy fear stuff on all sides of birth. I must say the USA has heightened either sides of things compared to back home in Aus. I try not to read things that I don't feel are presented in a balanced way, of which there is a lot. I am preparing for a natural birth, maybe at home, but I'm going to be okay if we end up in hospital. Pros and cons of each! I am hiring a doula who will hopefully help direct things and be good support to me, alongside hubby.
I have been enjoying The Christian Childbirth Handbook which is quite balanced about presenting all things that can happen during birth from a physical side, including all the potential physical issues, but it's anti-fear thinking, and positive (but not too fluffy) attitude towards whatever happens.
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
I'm not too fond of meat, eggs, or rich foods, or salad. I made myself my first funfetti cake last night!

BFP Oct 2013- twins! A&H born May 2014
BFP Aug 2017- EDD 5/8/17
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. The nausea comes and goes, but it's much better than in my last pregnancy so I'm happy
3. Any appointments coming up?Just had confirmation of pregnancy with my OB today, and we'll go back to discuss genetic testing and whatnot next Thursday, the 12th.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I'd like to thank Gatorade and animal crackers for getting me through the rougher moments
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences? Lately I just always want tacos, but nonpregnant me always wants tacos too
10 weeks (as of Thursday, I'm a little late posting this week).. baby is the size of a strawberry.
2. How are you feeling?
Constantly nauseous, dizzy, headaches, weak, crampy. Just a horrible mess still.
3. Any appointments coming up?
October 17th for monthly OB checkup at 11w5d and October 24th for the genetic screen (ultrasound/blood test) I'll be 12w5d.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I honestly don't think I was anywhere near this sick with my other two pregnancies, but maybe I just forgot (5 and 7 year olds).. they say you forget the bad, but really? Would I forget this crap?
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences?
It's different each day. Not much sounds good and I'm forcing it down whether it sounds good or not. Can barely get water down at this point. Cinnamon crisp bagels with cream cheese from Panera have been my only desire this past week.
Edited: because I apparently can't count weeks.
2. How are you feeling? Soooo flipping tired and nauseous
3. Any appointments coming up? Tuesday is my pregnancy confirmation day.... I keep POS because I'm terrified I will get to the doctors they will tell me I must not be pregnant and to go home.
4. Rants/raves/questions? My goodness this baby brain is unreal... case in point I could have sworn I posted on this and after checking mutilple times nope it's not there.... ugh. I also keep saying the wrong things or forgetting things entirely. It's driving me insane.
5. GTKY: Any food aversions or cravings that are totally out of your normal preferences? My last pregnancy I couldn't stand the taste or smell of coffee. I couldn't even kiss my husband if had been drinking it. Right now coffee doesn't taste as good as usual but I need the caffeine so I'm making it work. Really all I want in life right now if buttered noodles. It's so strange.
I’m 8 weeks now.
I’m less tired now, but nausea is steady. Not just the morning either.
I’ve had a dating scan and I’m doing NIPT in about 2 weeks. Excited to be getting closer to announcing.
Rant: the heightened sense of smell is causing some issues with keeping this a secret. The smell of stale fried chicken almost did me in at work the other day. Ick.
Food: I’m usually obsessed with tea but I can barely stand the taste now. I’m all about bread/toast/noodles/cereal and I am eating every 2 hours. A bit worried I’ll be huge in a few months!
I'm 7 weeks, 4 days, baby is the size of a small raspberry/ blue berry.
I'm feeling really tired and nausea is worse as the day progresses. Peeing all the time, boobs are up a cup size, bad heart burn and heart palpitations. I wake up multiple times at night.
My next appointment is at 9 weeks at the fertility clinic. My last one was last Wednesday and all was well
I was so anxious that my symptoms should be worse but I guess not everyone is throwing up all day!
I do find my sense of smell is heightened and raw meat puts me off! Also spicy or rich food makes my heartburn so bad, so I try to eat plain food.
