Due Date check-in: fourth week of June (6/22 - 6/30)

We're testing out a new check-in process that will either be in addition to or instead of the ticker changes. Basically the ticker changes are based on if your ticker swaps over to a new week on a particular day of the week (mine is Sunday because I'll be 5+0 this Sunday), but this will be for everyone who is, say, 4 weeks right now. Our hope is that this will be a helpful check-in for folks going through the same things at the same times, and possibly more relevant than the ticker changes. Please bear with us while we work out the kinks for these. Suggestions welcome!

What's your EDD?
How are you feeling?
Any appointments this week/coming up?
Rants/Raves?
Questions?
GTKY: what's your favorite brand of bottled water?
What are your thoughts/suggestions about this new check-in format? (consider language in the prompts, structure, whether it should replace ticker check-ins or be additional, etc.)

@ChloandCoco GL with the bachelorette planning. It is so strange to know that you have this major thing happening that could affect future plans, but you aren't ready to tell people about it yet. My mom keeps going on and on about a trip to Key West in the spring and I'm like...um....zika....no. But I can't tell her that yet. Also, ditto on hating Dasani. It just tastes weird, right?
@izza2 Is your first appointment just with your OB or do you get an ultrasound too? My first ultrasound is on 11/7.
I also want to add that I like these threads because I can pop into the group ahead of us to see how they're feeling. I don't always remember what week people are on in the symptoms thread.
Edited for spelling.
How are you feeling: Nothing out of the ordinary so far
Appointments: I go in next Thursday to confirm pregnancy. Then I will get a referral to OB
Rants/Raves: DH is out of town until next week so I had to call to tell him the news.
Also PGAL brain is getting the best of me. It’s so hard not to stress
Questions: Not at this time
GTKY: Whichever is cheapest at the gas station.
i prefer this over the ticket change especially with being due so late in the month

I'm at the point where I may call to see if they can do some hcg blood work just to make me feel a little better. My symptoms have started to ebb off which is really freaking me out. I'd rather have nausea all day than nothing.

Ok so every Sunday all four due date check ins will receive new threads. My only mild concern is I'm imagining this will take up a lot of the first page especially if the previous check ins are still near the top but I could be wrong. I'll just have to see it. The more I think about it though I do prefer this to the ticker change threads. I say we give it a shot!
Zzzzzzzz
Nope, have to wait until 11/14
None, I'm all good at the present moment. Don't worry, it won't last long. Lol
Nope
I think this should replace the weekly ticker change.
symptoms are anxiety and exhaustion. But feeling relief because now I know I’m pregnant and not just losing my mind.
Nope, I’ll probably wait a few weeks to call since I’m still early.
I’m just so excited to have gotten my BFP today, can’t wait to tell DH when he gets home (I couldn’t want to hop on here, haha!). Trying to think of fun ways to tell him.
Nope
dont have one
I think this is better than ticker change and should replace it.

@LaceyBee522 Hooray for new clothes! That jacket is super cute. I've never seen one like that before!
@ChloandCoco Hopefully once you announce they'll be able to move up the bachelorette party so you can attend.
@oneblessedmess Hope your DD feels better soon! My parents live in Florida and we always enjoy going to Publix when we visit. It's a fun grocery store!
@zamora_spin My EDDs are the opposite of yours -- 6/29 based on ovulation and 6/27 based on LMP. Your Halloween party sounds fun. Do you guys make your own costumes or buy them?
@fantasticmrsfox Good luck surprising YH! Let us know what you decided to do. I need inspiration for how to surprised DH on his birthday on Thursday. Thinking about having DD color something that says "Big Sister" and giving it to him in a card.

How are you feeling: So tired. I thought 4 wks is too early for symptoms... I see @oneblessedmess and others are fatigued so i dont feel so nutso. No MS yet. I'm still processing the news and reminding myself that I'm pregnant. Had some pinkish mucus this a.m. after a bm and my heart stopped for a minute because AF is due today but I remember the same thing happening with DS pregnancy. I know it's normal in first trimester.
Any appointments this week/coming Up? Nope. Haven't called the OB yet.
Rants/Raves: Too tired to complain.
Questions: Nope.
GTKY: Filtered water in one of those sleek steel bottles that keeps it really cold.
Thoughts about new format: Ditto what everyone else said. It makes more sense.
@kmac11686 It doesn't hurt to ask. I've heard the dating ultrasound is most accurate around 8-10 weeks which could be why your practice schedules moms at 9 weeks.
DS1 has been working on coloring almost life size pictures of our whole family and hanging them on the wall, so I had him do mine with a baby in my tummy. DH didn’t even notice till I said something like “what’s different about mommy’s shirt?” He said ARE YOU SERIOUS? He’s excited and sat down and explained to DS1 that I’m pregnant
heres the pic: pardon the alien-ness of the people, haha! DS1 is not quite 4.
@fantasticmrsfox Thanks for sharing the pic! That's adorable. For being 4 years old I think your DS is quite a good artist. My 3-year-old still just scribbles.

6/26 based on LMP
How are you feeling?
Good! I well up with tears whenever I see cute happy things, which is a little awkward in public sometimes lol.
Any appointments this week/coming up?
My OB does the first appointment during week 8, so I’m looking forward to 11/15.
Rants/Raves?
Nothing at the moment. @ChloandCoco I can relate with the SIL wedding plans. We are in the process of planning the bachelorette party now too, but it will be either Jan or Feb (wedding is in March), so well before baby comes.
Questions?
Curious if anyone else has experienced spotting/implantation bleeding. I noticed a pink tinge on the toilet paper a couple days ago. It was really slight and from what I read it is very common, but I didn’t experience it in my last pregnancy so it gives me a little unease.
GTKY:
When I buy the 24 packs I always go with the cheapest, but if I’m getting one random water bottle somewhere I splurge and get one from the Swiss Alps or Scandinavia or something. It tasted SO much better.
Thoughts on new format:
I’ve never had a ticker and don’t know how it works, so I’m good with this way!
I like this check-in, I feel like it makes more sense to check-in with people who are closer to your due date vs 3-4 weeks ahead. This is the first time I've seen this, my last BMBs did it the old way so this is an interesting change.

Anyone have appointments/BW coming up this week?

My POAS addiction has turned on me and I’m not seeing progression the last couple days and I’m going to go to the independent lab again to get another beta. Won’t get the results until tomorrow. Blech.
Tricare is such a pain sometimes.
In other news, I have a terrible cold and feel awful. Plus I’m worried this will have a negative effect on baby. Thursday can’t get here soon enough

@zamora_spin FX your betas come back right where they should be.
@profmcgonagall I really hope your cold goes away quickly. If you are really struggling you can call your a pharmacist to see if there's anything you can take.
AFM, I'm going for another blood draw on Wednesday, but I won't get the results until Thursday. My HCG has to be 880 for it to be doubling on time.I really like numbers, but I find waiting for the results it's way too stressful. I'm still POAS every two days and the line is darkening.
