How far along are you? How big is baby? 5+1. Peppercorn.

How are things going? How are you feeling? I feel great most of the day, but evenings are rough and I usually lose my appetite, feel nauseous and exhausted after 8 p.m. Sleeping great though! Super bloated and going to go digging for my belly band from last time around to hold up my work pants, because the hair tie trick won't work with clasp closures!

Upcoming appointments? January 24th!

I am also 5+4! 0.1” long supposedly.

I feel fine. Started prophylactic tamiflu (exposed at work) but don’t have any symptoms, so I’m very grateful.

My first OB appt is 1/16. I’ll be 6+2. Really hoping we can see something.

No nicknames. Trying not to get attached this early.

Purse - keys, Tylenol, hand sanitizer

Fridge - condiments, always. So butter, salad dressing and ketchup will be stocked even if we’re out of anything to eat them with.

5w5d; an appleseed

How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going OK. I've been really sick the last few days. I called the doctor's office and spoke with the nurse and she thought it was a cold, stomach bug, and pregnancy symptoms. Good times. And I can't take anything because of the last one. Boooo.

Upcoming appointments?
My ultrasound got moved up from the 22nd to Monday! I hope we can see something. I will be 6w2d.

Do you and your SO have any special nicknames yet for your little sprout?
Not really. Sometimes we call it a mini muffin.

Besides wallet, phone, and keys? I feel like those are obvious so I will pick three others! Chapstick, hair brush, and gum.

Cream (for coffee), condiments, eggs? I don't know.

Around 5 weeks. We don't know exactly yet. Which really drives me crazy.

[Deleted User] · January 2018

@starla so glad they moved your u/s up a bit! That's going to be a huge relief. :) symptoms are pretty minimal. I am tired all the time (as usual) and burping (???), but no real MS yet. A little spotting/tinged cm here and there, nothing major. And still getting winded on the stairs. Ugh. I have been making a point to eat nutritious food, about 2-3 servings of dairy a day, green veggies, some fruits, a couple eggs (though a day or two, I missed the eggs, so I made a point to get them back in), protein - obv, and healthy fats, a few servings of fish a week, some orange/yellow veggies, some citrus, whole potatoes, whole grains etc. I gained 6 lbs almost immediately, not to mention all the recent IVF weight, (and the IF weight before that), so I want to get on a safe exercise routine asap, too, to help keep things stable here. Did I mention also I'm tired AF? Lol. [Oh and congestion.] How about you? Did the doctor give you any suggestions? Im sorry you're feeling crappy. Can you try onion tea with honey and lemon? That's safe for pregnancy and can help clear up your chest when combined with moar sleeeeep. ❤

*typos

starla · January 2018

@BusinessWife I'm glad you're still having symptoms. That sounds like a very healthy diet. Good for you!
I've been sick with what the nurse at my doctor's office thinks is a cold + a stomach bug + pregnancy. It's really hard to tell what symptoms are from what. My appetite has decreased dramatically and I'm tired, but that's probably from the illness. I've never had onion tea. It sounds gross!!! LOL I've been having lots of decaf green tea or other decaf teas with honey and lemon. That helps for like 20-30 minutes then I'm back to coughing again. My abs are getting quite the workout from the coughing. LOL
I didn't sleep very well last night and I got up at 5AM when DH got up to go to the airport. Now I'm just chillin in bed with my cat and Bumping.

[Deleted User] · January 2018

@starla. Aww, yeah that was me for the entire first 5 weeks, sick and coughing and I felt like I broke a rib! I was desperate and a coworker recommended the onion tea. It's surprisingly not that bad! Mostly all I could taste was the honey and lemon, and it would give me such wonderful nap afterward. ;) hope you're feeling better soon. I am still just coughing a little and congested, but not like I was. I think it's been going around....

starla · January 2018

@BusinessWife Yeah everyone is getting sick! It's a really bad flu season and I heard that Alabama just announced a state of emergency because of it. I'm skeptical, but I will check out the onion tea.

Do you buy it in tea bags or do you actually boil onions? I also heard that ginger in hot water (make your own ginger tea) works well.

[Deleted User] · January 2018

@starla. Yes, actual real onions! Lol Just slice them up a little and boil for a while. Im telling you, with honey and lemon its surprisingluly not bad. ;) Ginger tea is great too! Slice up the coins and boil with a little raw sugar and it is UH-mazing. I think of the ginger more for tummy symptoms, and the onion more for chest/ cough.

jumpy57 · January 2018

I think the worst part of pregnancy is not being able to take any medicine (that actually works). I'm finally getting over a month long nasty cold. Another home remedy: my friends swear by drinking garlic beer (obvs replace the beer) you chop up a gross amount of garlic throw it in your beverage and drink it. Since you are suffering from a nasty cold you will think it's great but anyone sitting near you may leave the room. Bonus effect, you won't be eaten by vampires.

Ok after typing all that I wanted to double check the "safety" of what I was recommending and garlic is in the questionable list. Please use your best judgement... Maybe just add some garlic to your dinner

AdmiralKitty · January 2018
