1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? STM here. DS just turned 5.

2) Any upcoming appointments? Not till the 1st.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
right now, I feel ok. We got paperwork for materniT21 this wk. we can't do it for another 3 wks. But I'm anxious... to hear if all is ok AND to hear the gender nice and early! So there IS a perk to being AMA lol

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
i've been wanting linguine but the grocery store by us stopped making it. I'm loving bland and cold so that sounds so good. One of us need to get to another store.

zamoraspin · October 2017

@catlady1215 I hope you get your linguine!

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? FTM, 35, will be 36 in February. We have three rescue dogs and one elderly cat.

2) Any upcoming appointments? 11/3 will be our first scan.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Have had a tough PGAL day or two, not for any particular reason. Am trying to practice my gratitude for this pregnancy and have been searching out resources to help me with that.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now? Had a craving for mozzarella sticks and indulged and now I have spoiled my dinner, lol.

jsl82 · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
STM (FT as a AMA). I'm 35 now and will be 36 at delivery.

2) Any upcoming appointments?
I go for my first appointment on Thursday. I will be asking about the early testing- while I'm anxious for the results I am excited to find out the sex early.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I have been feeling horrible lately. Nausea is getting stronger and I am amazed that I haven't been throwing up. I'm also exhausted and DD decided that she doesn't want to sleep through the night... or alone in her crib anymore. It has been taking hours to get her back to bed and we basically have to stand over her crib until she is all the way asleep. If we leave the room she is crying again in seconds.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
I can't even think about food. Salty carbs seem like a safe bet, but I wouldn't call it a craving.

jsl82 · October 2017

@zamora_spin when in February will you be 36? I turn 36 on 2/21!

mytinc · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
STM - Two boys 4.5 and 3 years old

2) Any upcoming appointments?
First appointment is Oct 30.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Food doesn't sound good, but at the same time I feel like I NEED to eat everything (even though that makes no sense). Eating either takes the nausea away or makes it a LOT worse. I haven't thrown up though. And I'm sleeping like crap.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
Not craving anything specific and no specific aversions either. But eating anyway.

zamoraspin · October 2017

@jsl82 I’ve got you beat by just a couple weeks - my birthday is 2/2. We’ve both got lots of twos!

40momma · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
FTM, so far it looks like I'm in the lead for AMA

I just turned 41 two weeks ago

2) Any upcoming appointments? I have an u/s booked for friday which can't come soon enough

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? the emotional roller coaster of being pregnant is really insane. I'm normally not a worrier but now I can't go 10 minutes without getting anxious about symptoms or lack thereof

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now? no cravings yet

bearmoons · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?

FTM! Will be 35 Saturday

2) Any upcoming appointments?

First appointment at 2 today! Wish it included an US, but they told me when I made the appointment, it won’t. Lame.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?

Nausea here and there, mostly in the afternoon/evening. Have dry heaved a couple time so but no actual throwing up. I’m tired and bloated, but I can’t seem to sleep well. Otherwise I feel basically the same

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?

no cravings yet. I just seem to need to eat regularly and if I go too long without I get HANGRY

LaceyBee522 · October 2017

@bearmoons Happy (almost) birthday!!

@40momma I feel you on the anxiety. I have been having the worst anxiety dreams. That, coupled with random weepiness, has made me an absolute joy to be around /s.

@mytinc Sorry you're not sleeping well. I've taken to surrounding myself with pillows. I don't know why, but the cocoon feeling works for me.

@jsl82 Sorry about the nausea and your daughter not sleeping through the night. FX it gets better soon.

@zamora_spin Sorry it has been a tough couple of days. (((creepy internet hugs))) I have my first US on 11/3, too!!

@catlady1215 What is materniT21??

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? FTM

2) Any upcoming appointments? Nothing until November 3 - first US. Trying to get in with an OB in my current lady doctor practice.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Generally feeling ok. I am a little tired of the cramping. It makes me very anxious, even though Dr. Google says it is normal.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now? I am DYING for some strawberry sugar wafers, but cannot find them anywhere! I'm about to just order an obscene amount from Amazon, but, knowing me, I'll be over the craving by the time they arrive.

catlady1215 · October 2017

@laceybee522 its a blood test they can do to check the baby for downs/trisomy etc. Its more conclusive than the regular first tri screening. I'm sure there's other brands/names out there for the test but that's the one our place uses.

mytinc · October 2017

@LaceyBee522, I have already added one pillow to the bed. I have a body pillow I've used with past pregnancies (or as DH calls it, my chastity pillow). By 3rd tri I'll be surrounded. It seems like DS1 and DS2 wake during the night and I can't fall back asleep. I was having insomnia issues even before BFP, but it seems to be worse now.

bearmoons · October 2017

@LaceyBee522 thanks!! Have you looked at “international” type grocery stores for the wafers? I wonder if Aldi would have them? We have a place by us called Garden Fresh that I’m sure would have every type of wafer.

starla487 · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
STM. Toddler will be 3 this weekend. I’m 36.

2) Any upcoming appointments?
Not yet. Still waiting for my MFM to call back.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Tired, but that’s par for the course at this point. Bracing for an onslaught of nausea. Hoping I can avoid what happened last time.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
I really wanted queso this weekend. I didn’t really have specific cravings in my first pregnancy, so H is wondering if this one will be extremely different.

bump310301121 · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
STM. DD1 will be 7 next week and DD 2 will be 5 in November. I’ll be 36 in May. I feel like I've forgotten everything about babies and being pregnant though!

2) Any upcoming appointments?
11/28 - I feel like it is very far away!!!

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
Only symptom is sore breasts.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
Nothing yet - with my first two pregnancies I ended up craving carbs in 1st tri to keep my nausea in check. I'm hoping that doesn't kick in with this one, it's really no help with the weight gain!

raeliz13 · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM?
FTM. I do have a 10 year old stepdaughter. I’m 35, will be 36 at delivery.

2) Any upcoming appointments?
I had my second appointment with a follow up ultrasound yesterday. Next appointment is 11/13.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
I’m still trying to get over the shock of finding out I’m pregnant with twins!! I’m very hungry, like I need to eat every 2-3 hours or my stomach is actually growling!

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
Nothing in particular yet.

krismhl · October 2017

1)Introductions: Tell us about yourself FTM STM? I'm a first time biological mom, but foster mom to 2 adorable little girls ages 1 & 4. They may officially become ours in the next few months:). My BFP was a total surprise and I will be turning 40 next month. Whew, instant family at 40!

2) Any upcoming appointments? 11/1 will be first ultrasound and I'll be about 7-8 weeks

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? Nauseous and tired. Overall I'm ok just really nervous.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now? Mexican, and my husband hates it lol!

zamoraspin · October 2017

@raeliz13 I'm so excited for your twins and glad you had another good scan this week. I bet in the coming weeks there will be more posters learning they are moms of multiples and you guys can have a thread dedicated to that. It's no surprise that your hungry! I have heard with twins you will want to gain more of your weight sooner than with a singleton.
@krishml That is so lovely that you are a foster mom and that your family is expanding by one more! Years ago a friend of mine was told she couldn't have a baby (they tried and tried) and they adopted, then she was able to get pregnant so they went from zero to three boys in a very short time frame! It all worked out beautifully.

Lolalipsy · October 2017

Introductions: I'm a STM at 42 (I'll be 43 at delivery ). I had my first daughter when I was 37

2) Any upcoming appointments? scan on 7th Nov to check for fetal pole etc

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes? I'm just nervous about the scan as if this is my last chance at trying for a 2nd child.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now? natural yogurt (I water it down and drink it - so refreshing).

Edit: I got my BFP when they did bloodwork on 18 October

I have a quick check in with my doctor tonight to tell her I'm PG but my first midwife apt is not until 10wks.

3) How are you feeling? Any raves, concerns, or gripes?
i was feeling nauseous for the past two weeks, which I never felt the first time. But, knock on wood, it seems to have subsided, for now.

4) GTKY: What food are you craving right now?
So far nothing. I just want to be able to drink my Shakeology in the morning. I love my Shake. If they let me drink it I'd rather that than Coffee.
