For those of us due in the second week of June, let's get to know each other a bit better. I hadn't seen this started so I thought I'd go ahead.
What's your EDD? FTM/STM?
Food you're craving/avoiding?
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Questions?
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy?
First Son - born 2013
Second Son - born 2014 - Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV). First open heart surgery at 5 days old. He's had 3 open heart surgeries and several other procedures and is currently doing amazing. Third Son - due June 9, 2018
Food you're craving/avoiding? Craving carbs and red meat, but needing to watch portion size or I start feeling sick. Vegetables/salad don't sound good, but I'm making myself eat them.
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Dealing with a feverish DS2. Looks like we'll have to skip the fall/Halloween party at his preschool this evening. Eagerly awaiting my first appointment next Monday (Oct 30).
Questions?
Nope.
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? Favorite - Reese's (but they're not tasting good right now!!) Least favorite - Necco Wafers. Blech.

What's your EDD? June 10 right now, may change after next week's appointment
FTM/STM? STM! My little boy is 2.5
Food you're craving/avoiding? I hate everything and everything hates me. As soon as I eat something I crave, I'm repulsed by it. I guess I've been leaning toward saltier foods than sweet lately.
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? Had a nurse history phone call this morning, which was my very first appt for this pregnancy. Threw up for the first time in either pregnancy last night. Generally tired, angry, and everything smells so bad.
Questions? Why did I sell all of my old maternity clothes on ebay
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? Favorite: Reese's pumpkins. Least: any of the laffy taffy or smarties bullshiz
@basemodel, I gave most of my maternity clothes away after DS2 - including all my dress pants for work and my maternity winter coat. I feel your pain.

Second Son - born 2014 - Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV). First open heart surgery at 5 days old. He's had 3 open heart surgeries and several other procedures and is currently doing amazing. Third Son - due June 9, 2018
Food you're craving/avoiding? Salty foods are most appealing, but I don't really have an appetite for anything. I eat really tiny portions all day long to try to ease the nausea, so I never actually get hungry. I had some grapes last night though that were soooo good!
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? I had my ultrasound yesterday and got to see the heartbeat! It was such a relief. But then a couple hours later my test results came in and I have protein in my urine, so now I'm worried about that. Overall though I'm just very happy to be able to confirm I'm pregnant right now with a healthy little shrimp.
Questions? Anyone talk to their doctor about getting their hair dyed? I totally forgot and I have an appointment on Monday. I really don't want to have grey hairs for the next however many months.
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? In my opinion nothing beats a reeses. But I'm vegan now so chocolate is pretty much out of my diet. So I guess my second choice would be airheads.

9/27/2017 - BFP at 10dpo (cycle 22), baby boy due June 9, 2018
@RatParade - I think someone was asking about hair dye in one of the questions threads recently. I'm not sure how well the search button is working on The Bump these days, but if you can't find it, post it in the question thread and I'm sure you'll get some feedback. I don't dye (although my grey hairs tell me I should), but I know there are several moms who do and I think there's conflicting information on whether or not you should during first tri.

Food you're craving/avoiding? @basemodel I totally agree with you about the food thing. Every time I crave something it repulses me halfway through eating. I swear everything taste different and more disgusting. Which is such a bummer because I’m a huge foodie and live for food. Also I feel like my digestion slowing down makes me feel so sluggish in my intestinal area and mixed with the nausea, food aversion it’s so uncomfortable! What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Just feel like crap and am barely functioning but otherwise nothing.
Questions?
So it looks like we have very few moms due our week on this bmb. Not many posts.
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy?
Isn’t Halloween candy just regular candy? I LOVE IT ALL.

What's your EDD? FTM/STM? 6/10, Third time mom. I have a 5 yo and 2 yo. Both boys.
Food you're craving/avoiding? Kinda just not hungry at all.

Questions? No questions. But I agree, I think we are the smallest week. Not many ladies are due in the second week.
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? KITKATTTTTTS are the best. Candy corn is probably the worst.

Food you're craving/avoiding? I have been wanting potatoes and BBQ like all the time. I am completely avoiding eggs. Just the thought of them makes me want to throw up
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? Morning sickness has been kicking my butt for the past few weeks and that mixed with fatigue is wearing me out. My DH has a birthday Friday and my mom has a birthday Tuesday plus I am taking my DS trick or treating for the first time. Its going to be a busy weekend!
Questions?
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy?
My favorite is Reeses and my least favorite is sour patch kids.
June 10 or 11, hoping to confirm next week. STM - DD is 3 yo
Food you're craving/avoiding? Oranges, ice cream, cereal Everything makes me feel sick What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Work has been so busy. Prepping for DD’s preschool Halloween fun fair for Saturday. I’ve been more nauseous than I was he first time around and have had a lot of gas pains.
i was on KETO before getting pregnant and have tried to stick with it but everything repulses me.
Questions? Anyone where’s this is their 3+ baby, when did you start to show second time around?
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? Reese’s, hands down! But really any chocolate - Caramilk, Mars, Tootsie rolls, mini caramels. Also like candy corn. No to anything Black licorice
@goldenlola ~ good question! I know for ST+M you show sooner. But I don’t know how much sooner. I’m starting to wonder if I will be able to hide it until almost 12 weeks when we announce (I didn’t show the first time until 16 weeks)
What's your EDD? June 11th ish? Measuring behind tho FTM/STM?
STM
Food you're craving/avoiding? nothing consistent, but hungry all the time, and nauseous everytime I start eating What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Had an ultrasound on Tuesday and it seemed that baby’s heart just started beating since it was slow. I’m very nervous with slow growth at this time. I have another ultrasound next Tuesday when I should be 8 weeks. I’m hoping so hard that this baby catches up.
Questions?
Nope
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? I like Milky Way or Twix and yuck to smarties
@asun123 I think I'm the only person I know that actually loves candy corn

6/12/2014 (based on LMP, will confirm on 11/6/17). STM
Food you're craving/avoiding? None really, no nausea but do have food aversions. Nothing sounds good. What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
No appointments this week. We have our office Halloween party today, excited for some yummy potluck food.
Questions?
Anyone drinking protein smoothies as a snack/breakfast?
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? love anything caramel apple (cant go wrong with chocolate).
Food you're craving/avoiding? I love chicken and carbs right now. I can't eat much and fish smells make me nauseas. What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Nothing this week but I have my ultrasound next week. I'm in grad school and work full-time so I'm a little overwhelmed right now.
Questions?
Will I ever feel safe in this pregnancy after a loss?
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy?
I love Reeses and Snickers pumpkins. I don't eat taffy.
Food you're craving/avoiding? Craving - Kraft Mac 'n Cheese (no other brand will do). Avoiding most things! I have the same problem as some of the other ladies - as soon as I start eating something I've been craving, I don't want it. I can't look at a menu or watch a commercial with food in it without getting nauseous
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? No appointments, just exhaustion and work
Questions? Any other STMs have similar symptoms each pregnancy but have babies of a different sex? I feel like a lot of my symptoms are similar to my previous pregnancy and I had a boy...but we are hoping for a girl!
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? Favorite? Pretty much anything EXCEPT candy corn. Candy corn is the WORST!
@kellybean607 - my symptoms were similar with my first two, and they're both boys. So far things feel the same again. I was talkimg to my mom last night and she doesn't recall having different symptoms with my brother and me (no morning sickness with either of us). A lot of my friends say their pregnancies were different with different sexes. We should probably poll all the STMs to see what all the women here have experienced.

Food you're craving/avoiding? Right now I'm avoiding everything. I'm making myself eat. So my nausea really ramped up over the weekend, especially yesterday. Not actually puking but feeling like crap (wanting to puke). Definitely going to try some of the vitamins & supplements suggested.
What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)? For the first time since my BFP I will NOT be going to the doctor this week. I'm so grateful, next appointment is Nov 10. I'm "feeling pregnant" and haven't been spotting since Thursday. All my close family knows and I only 2 friends left to tell the news. I just want to enjoy this time finally.
Questions? Is it bad that I'm hoping this outset of nausea and not wanting food results in weight loss? I gained 10 lbs over the last 15 months (since our wedding) and I'm dreading another 15 on top of that from pregnancy. I kept saying I'm going to lose weight but I've been so inconsistent.
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? I love all candy.
Food you're craving/avoiding? Avoiding everything haha What's up in your world this week (appointments/symptoms/life)?
Found out today I am measuring a full week behind my lmp date. Nothing bad so far as it is just my first ultrasound and they saw heartbeats but still making me worry
Questions?
None atm
GTKY: What's your favorite & least favorite Halloween candy? I like reese cups and dislike anything with caramel
