Re: 1st Trimester Check-In Week of 1/15/18
1. 7w2d, 9/1/2018
2. Exhaustion/sore boobs is pretty much it. Although this week I am feeling hungry, but then nothing sounds appetizing. That's pretty typical of my life though so not sure I can relate it to PG.
3. bloodwork tomorrow to check on Heparin & 1/18/18- 2nd u/s and an intralipid IV
QOTW: we have a 12 1/2 year old lab and he is following me everywhere although that is not unusual. He's a lover so we are not worried about bringing a babe home to him. I am praying he is still around to meet the LO actually!

2. What pregnancy symptoms are you having? My appetite is still off and now I'm constipated. I recently upped my daily dosage of my PNV (I didn't realize I was supposed to be taking them 3x day) and that might be the problem.
3. When is your next appointment? Not until Feb 6
QOTW: Do you have any fur babies? Have you noticed any changes in their behavior? Are you preparing them any certain way? We have an 8 year old dog but she is currently living with my parents. We moved to a high rise apartment last year and she didn't like it. I am hoping we will move again to a place she will be more comfortable and then bring her home after the baby is born.

6+1; 9/9
2. What pregnancy symptoms are you having?
Not much
3. When is your next appointment?
Friday
<span>4. Anything else you'd like to share?
</span>Not really.
<span>QOTW: We have two dogs who are going to have to get used to not sleeping in the bed, as we plan to sidecar the crib. </span> :# Especially the little one is not going to be happy!! I also need to keep working with the big one about not jumping up when he's excited, or grabbing for toys until he's told it's okay to, "Take it."
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 7 weeks 4 days, 8/30/18
2. What pregnancy symptoms are you having? Still diarrhea once a day or so, which is do-able, and like @lablover78, I’m starving but when I think about what to eat, almost everything makes me ill. Tired, sore boobs.
3. When is your next appointment? January 26 for another ultrasound.
4. Anything else you'd like to share? I still can’t get used to the idea that this is actually happening. In a way I think I am guarding myself until the NIPT and NT just in case anything is seriously wrong, but also because I’m not showing or far enough along to tell everyone, it just feels hard to believe. Is that weird?
QOTW: Do you have any fur babies? Have you noticed any changes in their behavior? Are you preparing them any certain way? We have a cat, who will be 7 this year. He’s no different than before. My only fear with a baby is that he loves sleeping anywhere and I assume he will be in every bassinet, crib and pack and play that we have

2. What pregnancy symptoms are you having? Sore boobs and dizzy but either I'm getting used to feeling like crap or it's lessening a bit. I can see why lack of symptoms can be worrying because it makes me nervous. But also having more food adversions. Tonight I made burgers in a pan and I am dying from the smell left in the house. I've sprayed febreeze air freshener everywhere twice and have Scentsy going in every room. Almost threw up earlier this evening because of it. Husband helped me to clean up pan and stuff and he even ate some! He said it tasted fine but it seemed so gross to me! Told him to throw the rest away. Lol very strong adversion. Anyway also crying a lot at movies, commercials and random stuff. Very moody also, feel like I just hate everyone! Lol my husband and my dog are the only ones who are exempt from this. Luckily it comes and goes at least long enough to interact with some friends and family, but really been laying low and trying to relax. It's getting boring and isolating.
3. When is your next appointment? This Friday, husband is going with me and I'm very nervous. Telling myself why suffer twice by worrying. I am allowing myself to be optimistic and hope for the best. But still being realistic.
4. Anything else you'd like to share? Had brunch with some old high school friends last weekend. Couldn't tell them I'm pregnant but told them about the PCOS and hospital visit earlier this year and just said I'm doing clomid and hormone treatments. One of them knows about my mmc earlier this year and I asked her to help me to not give any more details. Anyway it all went pretty well as far as conversation but I got really down after. Took nap and wouldn't talk to my husband after then woke up and cried for about an hour to him. He understands and I was upset because it just sucks not being able to just enjoy being pregnant and share the good news. Plus everyone has to tell me all the depressing fertility stories of people they know. It makes me feel better not being the only one and I don't have it so bad, but it just gets me down. Been dealing with this for 2 years and just want to be happy. Anyway, on a bright side this Saturday there is only a 9.5% chance of miscarriage according to the chart. So that means 90.5% chance of birth. Looking forward to it going down from there.
QOTW: Do you have any fur babies? Have you noticed any changes in their behavior? Are you preparing them any certain way? Our blue heeler baby Roxy is blind and doesn't do much so I don't think she'll need to adjust too much. Was thinking about putting up a little fence outside to separate a play area for kid and dog potty area. But, I know it will be a while before baby will walk and play outside and hopefully Roxy will still be around then. If not I plan on getting a new blue heeler puppy! Roxy is everything to me, I love her dearly! Haha see I'm almost crying just writing this about my dog!
It's nice to see some familiar names on here. I've been laying low due to nervousness and well felling quite awful all the time but I'm happy to be joining the group.
1. How far along are you? What is your EDD? 10 wks, 2 days, DD 8/13
2. What pregnancy symptoms are you having? I hate all food, basically sleep all the time, and have never ending nausea. I hate parking garages, riding in the car, looking at any kind of screen, and showers all seem to really make it bad. Of course ya know all that is rather hard to avoid. My burps are rampant and unattractive and I miss pooping. The first trimester has been a been a kick in the rear I've never been so sick, so tired and so thankful all at once.
3. When is your next appointment? I actually don't have another appointment until 2/13. After all the IF treatments I think this is the longest doctor break I've had in 2yrs!
4. Anything else you'd like to share? I'm still very nervous about this pregnancy. Things have been going well and my doctors have been reassuring but after three previously early losses I'm having trouble letting my guard down. Being so sick its been hard to keep things under wraps but we haven't told a sole about the pregnancy because for some irrational reason I keep thinking it will jinx it. Is anyone else out there struggling with this?
QOTW: Do you have any fur babies? Have you noticed any changes in their behavior? Are you preparing them any certain way? We have two little terrier mixes, Billy 6, and Freida, 2. They have been quite and cuddly around me but they are both very sweet an sensitive when anyone is sick. They are going to be the best puppy big brother/sister they love it when our friends babies and toddlers come over they just love to follow them around and don't seem to mind the tugging or strangling (I mean hugging).

@laurad75 great to see you too
@buisnesswife I totally relate. We ordered some wedding picture albums for our parents with a reveal at the end (because we never actually printing any for them after the wedding woops). Placing the order for that was a big hurdle for me. It's crazy how superstitious we all become! We will actually be doing our reveal our a birthday party too but it will by DW's bday. Ill be 11w5d, which took ALL my negotiating skills to hold DW off that long. Trying to hold off facebook till 20wks but I don't know how successful I'll be I'm running low on bargaining chips
@lablover78 your egg shells story made me lol. Hey in my family we always keep a bottle of holy water in the car, whats the difference between that and some egg shells? I say no harm in its not like they are full eggs and will get rotten. Tuck them in the glove box and it can be your little secret anything that makes you feel more secure that doesn't interrupt normal human functioning always seems ok in my book
