How far along are you? How big is baby?
5+4, as big as an apple seed or black pepper corn

How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going okay, mostly tired, nausea here and there, and bloating

Upcoming appointments?
Called my new endocrinologist to get on the cancellation list to get in sooner rather than later to check my thyroid labs. My last endocrinologist left the practice and I can't stand the bedside manner of the other doctor in the practice, so hopefully I'll like the new practice better. First ob appt is Feb 12th with an ultrasound

What skill would you like to master?
Hm this is a good question, I would have liked to learn how to play piano, I can read music but have no idea how to play with both hands at the same time.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Often something technology related, or looking to get my clinical advice for a patient (nutrition related). If it's my DH, to find something no doubt.

How far along are you? 5+1

How are things going? How are you feeling? Things are so far so good. Just sore boobs. Have had two very minor bouts of nausea but that’s it.

Upcoming appiontments? Nothing yet. The doc should be calling any time with blood work results and then I’ll schedule my next appointment.

What skill would you like to master? Right now, hanging things on the wall. I’ve got a bunch of crap to hang up and no one to help.

What do people come to me for help with? Usually automotive related stuff.

prpl11butterfly · January 2018

How far along are you? 5+2
How big is baby? Appleseed

How are things going? How are you feeling?
Going well so far. Feeling okay. Smells are annoying. I work in a dealership and am in and out of the shop during the day (work in the office but need to communicate with the guys out there) so I'm constantly smelling automotive odors. And the gas in the showroom cars for some reason

Upcoming appointments? Informational visit on Feb 7th, first checkup Feb 27th. Hate waiting.

What skill would you like to master? Are patients and relaxation skills? If so then those.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with? Depnds on who is coming to me. Could be electronics, could be personal advice, or my BFF most frequently for baby help (she's ftm and I'm btdt)

jaylii · January 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby? 4+6 - a poppy seed?

How are things going? How are you feeling? So far I'm experiencing sore nipples, some breast fullness and some cramping,

Upcoming appointments? February 9th - which feels like an eternity away!

What skill would you like to master? I'm always working on my cooking skills. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen but love taking classes to master new skills. So far, a knife skills class I took was my favorite.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with? Restaurant recommendations. I'll take it as a compliment.

Not very many of us yet!

How far along are you? How big is baby?
5+3 - baby is an appleseed.

How are things going? How are you feeling?
Symptoms all vanished for three days and made me slightly worried, even though it's totally normal for things to come and go. When I woke up with sore boobs, I was pretty stoked.

Upcoming appointments?
First appointment is Feb. 12th!

What skill would you like to master?
Ehhh. Definitely something craft related. Maybe sewing? I'm okay at it, but it would be great to put together really beautiful clothes or quilts.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Relationships/personal problems. I have no idea why, but people seem to feel like I really want to be an emotional dumping ground. Which is fine for the most part - I don't mind listening. I just don't get it.

speechiemeg · January 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby?
6 weeks and a pea

How are things going? How are you feeling?
They seem to be going ok... my blood draws have looked good so far but the cramping is worrying me. I know it can be normal but I’m still concerned.

Upcoming appointments?
Still doing blood draws M,W,F of next week and then I have my 1st ultrasound on 1/30. I’ll be 7+2 that day so I’m really hoping that we see a little heartbeat that day so I can relax a little and tell our parents.

What skill would you like to master?
I’d like to be able to crochet or knit. I’m pretty crafty but I have to really pay attention to crocheting or knitting or I miss stitches and then it isn’t fun

nlc8424 · January 2018

@speechiemeg I'm having some dull cramping too, along with other normal symptoms at this point. You're not alone! It's a tough wait trying to get to the first appointment with ultrasound.

hollowway · January 2018

How far along are you? How big is baby?
5w4d. Baby is an appleseed

How are things going? How are you feeling?
So far so good. I'm exhausted 24/7 (two kids and being pregnant is tough). No ms. Really bloated and constipated.

Upcoming appointments?
I have what my OB calls my "Confirmation Appointment" on Thursday. Will be discussing getting genetic testing done around 9 weeks and also going over my high risk protocol.

What skill would you like to master?
I'm a photographer, so just mastering and bettering my own craft. And I'm an equestrian, so bettering my horsemanship as well. I don't think you ever stop learning in either field.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Relationships, Kids, Getting pregnant, Horses... 2 kids and 6 pregnancies has apparently made me the baby making expert haha

hollowway · January 2018

@speechiemeg try not to worry. Drink a lot of water (sometimes not drinking enough can cause cramping) and limit too much physical activity. Its probably round ligament pain, and drinking water and taking it easy can help to lessen it. Its totally normal as your uterus grows. Later in pregnancy you get to enjoy "lightning crotch" lol

hollowway · January 2018

@bumblenaut you should try rag quilting. I made one when I was pregnant with DS. Did it all by hand. Made the 9 month wait go by a little faster and now he has something handmade from momma. I may make another for this LO.

bumblenaut · January 2018

@mammabear1221 Rag quilts are so sweet looking. I would definitely like to give one a go. I have some cross stitch that I plan on getting done throughout this pregnancy, as well as knitting. You should totally make another for this baby!

baby3ob · January 2018

I'm 6w 1 day, a pea.
ive had on and off spotting and minor cramping. Had hcg tests last week 48 hours apart and the numbers are low and not doubling. Dr called me and said I have a 70% chance of miscarriage. I'm in the office right now for an early U/s to make sure it's not ectopic. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm kind of shocked this is happening (my previous 2 were very healthy overall).

Skill- photography

family and friends come to me for food reco or kid questions.

nlc8424 · January 2018

Oh, @baby3ob, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that's not the case, but will keep you in my thoughts and prayers this afternoon.

marym94 · January 2018

please keep us posted. @baby3ob

[Deleted User] · January 2018

@baby3ob. Will keep everything crossed for you and your LO. ❤

baby3ob · January 2018

Thanks all. good news is that it's not etopic. She saw the sac but said not far enough along to find a heartbeat (tho I swear others could see it this early). I now have to wait until next Friday. I'm terrified. I also started to feel nauseas a little bit ago (I never felt this with my first two pregnancies) so I feel like it's my body telling me something. She isn't doing any more betas so now i just wait. What if something happens while I'm at work!?!

prpl11butterfly · January 2018

@baby3ob I will keep my fx for you. Just because your feeling nauseous doesn't mean anything. Could simply be reacting differently.

cooksieta1 · January 2018

-How far along are you? How big is baby?
6 Weeks 1 Day. Baby is the size of a pea.

-How are things going? How are you feeling?
Things are going well. Very tired and sore breasts. Also maybe unrelated to the pregnancy, I have a sore throat, headache, and I’ve broken out in fever blisters (no fever).

-Upcoming appointments?
January 29th for my first confirmation appointment!

-What skill would you like to master?
I’d love to be Bob Ross.

-When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Most people come to me when they are asking how to grow closer to Jesus.

jaylii · January 2018

@baby3ob Thinking of you. Sorry to hear the worrisome news, but I hope things continue to be healthy.

rlpointer · January 2018

-How far along are you? How big is baby?
5 weeks 1 day (although I think I'm more like 4 weeks 5 days based on when I ovulated but whatever) Baby is about the size of an appleseed

-How are things going? How are you feeling?
So far so good. I'm definitely exhausted. My boobs hurt pretty bad on and off and I have to go to the bathroom a lot which is already getting old. I'm pretty nervous based on my past but I'm trying to stay confident and positive that all will stay good.

-Upcoming appointments?
I had my confirmation appointment today and I am indeed pregnant!

My first OB appointment is when I'm 10 weeks on March 1!

-What skill would you like to master?
I would love to master hand lettering.

-When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Lately it's either making food or tying shoes, but I'm guessing this isn't about a 1 or 5 year old?

wkuandrea · January 2018

@baby3ob -- everything ok? Do you go to Dr this Fri? (1/26)?

How far along are you? How big is baby?
5 weeks + 5 days -- somewhere between appleseed and chocolate chip, I think?

How are things going? How are you feeling?
So far so good, other than being anxious -- determined to get to FTM status (have had prior MC). I have that constant "hungover" feeling PP mention. Must. Eat. Every. 2. Hours. My stomach audibly growls. I have the bloat, but I have digestive issues so that's not out of the ordinary for me (and means my whole wardrobe is already stretchy comfy clothes!) Boobs are sore. And I'm lots more forgetful than usual (I'm the organized one in my group). Definitely moody (says DH).

Upcoming appointments?
Had labs done Mon and today (1/22 and 1/24) to check hCG and progesterone (bc I'm old) -- will get results Fri (1/26) FX!!! Ultrasound is 2/12 -- so anxious!!

What skill would you like to master?
Hmmmm... I'm one of those "jack of all trades" people -- so kind of knowledgeable about a lot of things, but a master of none. I always wanted to be athletic! I wish I could run and not feel like a fat slothy slug.

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
Data/techy/marketing questions. Insurance questions. Medical questions (I work in healthcare). General life trivia. Random trivia. Song or artist names. Excel tips. Boston Terrier behavioral advice (I volunteer with a rescue).

baby3ob · January 2018

@wkuandrea not an etopic pregnancy so that's good. OB saw the sac but not much else since too early. I go back next Friday for another ultrasound. Sucks to wait. On a positive note, besides the spotting I had again after the vaginal u/s Monday, I haven't really had spotting or cramping today or yesterday. The wait is killing me though. Now I'm super thirsty for some reason and it's all making me nervous.

wkuandrea · January 2018

@baby3ob that’s good news for now though! My NP thinks my levels are low, but won’t really know until we measure again and do US in early Feb. It is SO difficult to be patient during these few weeks!

prpl11butterfly · January 2018

Glad to hear @baby3ob. I will keep fx for you and @wkuandrea!
