5. GTKY: What's the one weirdest thing you're eating now that you NEVER ate before you got KU? Surprisingly enough I haven't had any real cravings since first tri, and my appetite isn't even really increased. I'm pretty darned surprised by that.

It's definitely frustrating to not feel baby move! Even though I am feeling it, it's only every few days and I want more lol
I'd say you are lucky about the food, my appetite seems to get bigger EVERYDAY! I'm really starting to worry about weight gain.

2. How are you feeling lately?
Feeling good!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Had 16 week check up on Tuesday—all is well. Next is a/s on the 30th—also nervous/excited!
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Not much this week, but @ftm_ohio I am also leaking a bit and have been since about week 12/13. It mostly just looks like a crusty film on my nipples—tmi, sorry lol!
5. GTKY: What's the one weirdest thing you're eating now that you NEVER ate before you got KU?
I haven’t really eaten anything new or weird, but I’ve been craving milkshakes. Hubby is on a first name basis with the folks at the chick fil a drive through lol!
Definitely not TMI, because me too! Haha, makes me feel better to know I'm not crazy!
I have also been on the milkshake train lately!
18 weeks - artichoke
2. How are you feeling lately?
Eh, I'm mostly okay. Tired a lot and out of breath easily. I think my old bones are like "why are we doing this again...?"
3. Any appointments coming up?
I had one yesterday. It was very uneventful, but everything looked good. A/S next Friday.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
Well I disappeared for awhile. I had a lot going on and kind of shut down (seems to be my MO), but things are fine. Nothing horrible, just had a rough time mentally with stuff. I'm back and need to catch up on a lot I'm guessing, this was the first thread I jumped in.
5. GTKY: What's the one weirdest thing you're eating now that you NEVER ate before you got KU?
Cream in my coffee. Peppermint Mocha to be exact. I am a black coffee drinker, but for some reason the creamer has been calling to me. Other than that my appetite seems to be the same (although my weight gain will say different).
I've definitely been feeling the shortness of breath lately!
Certainly glad you're back, just know we're always here to listen to those frustrations if you want. I have a pretty serious history of anxiety/depression/self-harm, so I totally understand the difficulty with handling things. Sometimes I find talking to strangers easier than my family and I'm always happy to lend an ear as well!
18 weeks.
2. How are you feeling lately?
Pretty good. So glad that the morning sickness has diminished. But my appetite definitely came back!
3. Any appointments coming up?
Anatomy scan next Friday and i can’t wait. My daughter will be two end of December so part of me is hoping for s boy but the other wants a sister for my daughter. And looking forward to confirming everything is going well with babe.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
i am
nervous about nursing and caring for a little one with a toddler this time around. My daughter was also an extremely easy baby and I’m scared I️ won’t get so lucky this time!
Also I know I put on most of my baby weight in the last month with my first so trying to pace everything. The holidays are going to be so challenging!
5. GTKY: What's the one weirdest thing you're eating now that you NEVER ate before you got KU?
I have an iron stomach when I’m pregnant. Normally I have a very sensitive stomach. So I have been loving getting to eat more things than normal. And the spicier the better! I was the same was last time.
@millieb14 That's so fascinating that your stomach gets so strong when you're pregnant. It's like your body just knows how to prioritize. Good luck at the anatomy scan!
@ftm_ohio So excited you are feeling the baby! I also totally agree with you about coming here when you struggle with handling things. Sometimes it's so much easier to bring my crazy here than try to explain it to DH.
@sapphires-and-diamonds So good to hear from you. I'm sorry you've been feeling overwhelmed, but I'm really glad you're here for support. Sometimes, we can be so hard on ourselves when we're already having a hard time and that just compounds the problem. Sending you hugs!
@mcg920 Really glad your hubs is taking care of business and making sure you are getting the valuable calcium you need!
@hedgepig ohhh excited for your anatomy scan and kind of jealous your appetite hasn't really changed. Mine is very much on the lets eat ALL OF THE THINGS bandwagon!
How many weeks along are you? How big is baby?
17 weeks, pomegranate.
2. How are you feeling lately?
Feeling awesome, tons of energy during the day and then super sleepy at night. Haven't been sleeping quite as well but lots of travel and excitement I think has been impacting me. I did have one episode of crippling 18 hour heartburn. That was a doozy.
Still not feeling movement. Really excited for that.
3. Any appointments coming up?
I had my monthly appointment last week and everything looked good. During the ultrasound, the doctor noticed the baby was pretty curled up, but normally sized. I asked why I had been gaining weight in my lovehandle area and back but not really in the front and he said bc I was so tall, I wouldn't really look like most shorter pregnant women? But I can tell he's happy I haven't gained too much weight.
4. Rants, Raves, Questions?
I took my last jumps this weekend on my horse. My riding pants are barely fitting, so the timing is right to take a break.
The thought of not riding seriously for 6 months has me a bit panicked bc it has been so central to my being for so long. I'll still hop on some safe saints to keep some of the muscle memory, my doctor says I can stop when my balance becomes an issue.
5. GTKY: What's the one weirdest thing you're eating now that you NEVER ate before you got KU?
The junk food craving is SO powerful. I never really let myself eat junk food, but these days, I kind of can't say no to Domino's.
I'm so sorry about you last show, but having this baby will be awesome, then a few short weeks after, you can get back to it and it'll be a wonderful "mom's alone/sane time!"
I'm really horrified for you about that heartburn. I had never had it before getting KU, and the 30 second episodes I get make me feel like I'm dying, so I CAN'T imagine 18hrs! I'm so sorry!
Very glad to hear all was well with baby at your monthly appt!
