Re: First week of October DD check in! (1-7)
I think 10/4... however when I put my LMP date and my ovulation date it changes so I'm looking forward to seeing what the ultrasound says.
How are you feeling?
Overall pretty good. Definitely bloated with some nausea at times.
When is your first appointment/ultrasound?
2/26!
no questions or concerns! Just impatiently waiting the 26th.
GTKY: we have one dog, a Pomeranian, who turned 10 this year. So far she only likes babies when they are old enough to drop food from their high chairs.
Should be around 10/7, we’ll see if doctor confirms that
how are you feeling?
Super bloated and short of breath but overall really good!
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
2/26
any questions or concerns?
not at this time
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
We have a goldendoodle and rescued lab-mix at home - both do amazing with our kids!!
October 6, as far as I know!
How are you feeling?
Lots of nausea, lots of bloating. I find that I get really bad around dinner time because I can't eat for my hour long ride home.
My first appointment is on the 26th. Really impatient!
No questions yet, really, except I have no idea if I can use any of my shampoos or anything. I was nervous enough about it last night that I used my step daughter's shampoo instead of mine.
GTKY: Baby will be coming home to one black cat... actually two, because my MIL is moving in with us in the spring and she also has a black cat.
how are you feeling? I feel totally normal. Besides some bloat, I seriously feel like nothing is different.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? Wednesday! First ultrasound to see the heartbeat, and then I think I have another one 2 weeks after that, and I think a final one with my RE 2 weeks after that
any questions or concerns? Just super nervous for my ultrasound that they aren't going to find a heartbeat or something.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
A black cat named Padfoot who has never seen a child in his entire life and my dog Tucker who is this scruffy little black mutt.
how are you feeling? Pretty much like my normal self. Occasional mild nausea and some fatigue.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? I actually had an u/s yesterday at 5w6d! They were able to see th fetal pole and sac, but didn’t get a heartbeat. They told me it’s too early and I know that, but of course I was hoping to see one anyway and it doesn’t help with this anxiety. I go back in 2 weeks so we should get one then!
any questions or concerns? I don’t think so
GTKY: We have a golden retriever who is the sweetest dog in the world and he loves babies! We are excited that he will be getting his own baby soon
how are you feeling? Pretty good. Symptoms seem mild so far, and the sheer exhaustion seems to be lightening up.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? Wednesday! US with the RE. If they like what they see, I think I’m cleared to an OB.
any questions or concerns? Nervous it won’t go well on Wednesday. Also feeling slightly overwhelmed by the thought of building a relationship with yet another doctor. Meeting a midwife next week to see if that’s the route I want to go.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? Two awesome kitties, both almost 3. I’m guessing one will be overjoyed at all the extra available snuggle time, while the other will wonder why the house has been invaded!
@Gizmo1231 pretty sure my dog isn't gonna be happy until the food-dropping stage either, haha. After that she'll probably be a big fan of the kiddo!
how are you feeling? Ok, super tired. I crashed on the couch at 8:30 last night and woke up at midnight
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? I had an u/s last Monday to see a little flickering blob, another one on the 20th.
any questions or concerns? Nope.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? An old cat that I don't care for, lol. I'm not a pet person but DH is.
how are you feeling? Tired and nauseous but happy that it’s for a good cause. Starting to have to carry barf bags in the car though so that’s a bummer.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? I had one on the 7th and have another the 14th
any questions or concerns? Just praying baby keeps growing and didn’t implant on scar tissue. Also a little shell shocked about how much we’ll be paying out of pocket with our stupid new insurance
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? A frenchie mix, a black lab puppy, and some fish.
How are you feeling? Nausea comes and goes in waves, my boobs are incredibly sore and heavy, crash out by 8:30pm every night, and the food aversions are real. Otherwise, juuuust peachy.
When is your first appointment/ultrasound? February 21! Very excited.
Any questions or concerns? Nope.
GTKY: Any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? Yes! Cats, Snooker (9) and Bagheera (7). Snooker will agree with @halfanewt that an invader is among us, I have no doubt.
how are you feeling? Overall pretty good. Super strong sense of smell. Some tiredness but I am able to sleep in (enjoy it while i can!) i know they say morning sickness is good but I wonder if that is just to make those sick feel better. I am slightly worried as I am not sick.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
Wednesday for dating.
any questions or concerns? Just hoping no morning sickness is ok and that the progesterone pills are getting my numbers up!
What is the ultrasound tech allowed to say at a dating appointment? Heard they can't tell you anything.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? 2 rescue pups. One we have been training with (and needs lots more) as he is a dork.
(edited to add question)
how are you feeling? Ehh, it comes and goes. Heavy nausea, but no actual morning sickness yet, a few dizzy spells, and massively tired. I'll take it though, just happy to be here!
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? I just wrapped up betas earlier this week. First actual ultrasound/appointment with my RE is the 22nd.
any questions or concerns? Nope, none yet.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? Yeah we have 2 dogs. One will be great, the other is a...challenge... but will be fine while LO is a baby.
how are you feeling? Pretty good most of the time. Slightly nauseous in the morning before I eat. Just bought crackers for beside my bed. Super tired around 3pm, like usual but not having my daily coffee to combat it.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? 2/27
any questions or concerns? Just hoping everything is ok. We planned on #2 for a year and was told it wasn't going to happen so just concerned with EVERYTHING! lol
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? 1 7 year old, she is amazing and my 4 yr old DS who would be an awesome big brother.
when are you due?
10/5
how are you feeling?
Some waves of nausea are starting but I'm hoping for more! exhausted, moody, RLP, heavy feeling boobs with some dull achiness and sore nipples, bloated
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
The 15th! I'm so excited and nervous to see this babe and that everything is progressing!
any questions or concerns?
STM+, do your boobs hurt less than your first pregnancy. Mine were so sore the first time that they couldn't be touched, this time its more like how they felt when I was nursing. More like an almost engorged feeling with dull arches and pains vs sore to the touch.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
Two cats! a long haired black tuxedo and a short haired calico
10/5
how are you feeling?
Heartburn like crazy already and super burpy. Last few days, wake up starving and if I don't eat then the rest of the morning I'm super nauseous. Still sore boobs but that seems to be easing a little.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
Had 1st US on the 7th. Saw the yolk sac. Go back again on the 21st for next US with my RE.
any questions or concerns?
Not yet, just praying for a sticky baby.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
Have a great Dane named Max that is 6 and a rescue cat named Rudy.
Feeling: okay, waves of nausea, insomnia, bloat, and crazy tired. But I know it could be worse!
1st apt: 2/26
no questions!
gtky: no pets - I’m not getting a dog until all of my kids are big enough to scoop poop
how are you feeling? Tired, nauseous, and cranky
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? February 27th!
any questions or concerns? Making sure it's still there and see if there's just one (lol I joke but multiples run in the family and that would be a game changer)
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? We have a dog and a 3 year old daughter. Haven't told her yet and we can't gauge if she will be happy about it or not lol. She has had a good time being the only.

DD born Nov. 2, 2014
Little 2 EDD Oct. 1
how are you feeling? Waves of nausea and very tired
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? February 16
any questions or concerns? No, this all seems eerily familiar even though i have basically wiped my first pregnancy from my mind. Like deja vu but for nausea lol.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? A four year old labradoodle. And a big sibling who acts like an animal sometimes!
10/3
how are you feeling?
Going to bed at 8pm is weird. I’m also not sure which is worse- sore boobs or sensitive nipples. I think I’m going to go with sensitive nipples.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
My first appointment was yesterday, but it was just taking medical history. My next appointment is at 12w.
any questions or concerns?
Not so much for this group, but my current worry is about Blast’s birth certificate. Baby was conceived by anonymous donor, and I’ve read some horror stories about how this gets handled. It isn’t inherently a source of embarrassment to me, but I don’t want someone petty making the child feel bad because there isn’t a father listed on the birth certificate. (One story I read actually had a government official suggesting that they would have to put notices in the paper before the mother could qualify for public assistance, another had the mother being denied a passport for her child, with the child present.)
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
One puggle who thinks that the couch is his personal dog bed. One tortie cat who knows that my bed is her sole domain.
how are you feeling? Depending on the day, pretty good or nauseous. Never not tired. My boobs are tender but it’s way better than with DD or my MMC. I’m also having GREAT mood swings. My husband just went to Costco to get me fro yo because he’s the best and possibly terrified of me at this point.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? 2/21 I did my blood work today and they were so nice! The phlebotomist gave me stickers for DD (who wasn’t there) since her birthday is Monday. It nearly made me cry (see mood swings)
any questions or concerns? Not really. I just hope there’s a baby in there...
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? I wish. We lost our 14+ year old Doberman mix when I was 6 weeks pregnant with DD. We will get another dog someday!
3rd October
how are you feeling?
Feeling pretty tired most days but otherwise not feeling too bad, my fiod aversions are STRONG and im craving all the wrong stuff like Pizza and Pasta so im working too retrain my brain for the good stuff
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
We have an early ultrasound next weekend (17th Feb)
any questions or concerns?
My only concern at the moment is miscarriage as ive had one before this pregnancy and I really want to start our little family. I just want little peanut to be perfectly healthy and doing well
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
We have an English Staffy who is just over 3 and he's so gorgeous with kids and toddlers - so gentle and loving. We also have a 7 year old cat who is a bit of a grump but he doesnt show much interest in kids.
who are you feeling? I have had terrible morning sickness. I had IV fluids yesterday and we started diclegis last night. I had my first good night of sleep in about ten days.
first ultrasound/appointment? I had an ultrasound in the ER in Wednesday (the first time I was treated for dehydration). It was only 5 weeks and 3 days, but we saw a little sac so that is good news.
questions or concerns? I have had the worst morning sickness, so staying in control of that. I’m really worried about baby and would hate to lose it after all of this misery. I do have an asymptotic subchorionic hemorrhage so I do have questions about how easy I should be taking things to give baby the best chance.
GTKY: any pets? No pets, just a 2 year old sister.
10/1
how are you feeling?
Nauseous when I'm hungry (which is often but goes away once I get some food in me) sometimes in the AM before I get out of bed, tender boobs, been napping most days after work, not bad overall
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
My first appointment was 2/2 just to confirm pregnancy and go over family history. Next appt is just a nurse visit on 2/28 (10 weeks) and they said my husband is not invited to the first part of the appt but he has the day off work with me so that's annoying. No u/s until second trimester.
any questions or concerns?
None
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
A 4 year old rabbit (gray mini rex), a 1 year old rabbit (gray lop eared). A 2 year old tux cat who has never seen a baby. We have had the three of them since they were each 8 weeks old. We rescued a black lab in Oct who is 4 but I don't know how she will handle a new baby.
DSS born 01/2016
TTC since 01/2017
Letrozole + TI = BFP 01/30/2018 | EDD 10/11/2018
how are you feeling? Terrible. I’m super nauseous pretty much 24/7. Lots of food aversions. Exhausted, I’ve been going to bed at 8:30 every night.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? February 20th
any questions or concerns? I’m considering asking for nausea meds at my appointment. Anyone ever done that?
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? We have a 13 year old black lab.
October 5
how are you feeling?
Extremely tired, sore boobs, and nauseous, but still mild enough that I am good overall.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound?
March 20 (plus a nurse only/informational appt on Feb 22, but that's boring)
any questions or concerns?
Not at the moment
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to?
Cats...but they each have their chosen human already so they probably won't care much other than having to share lap time.
when are you due? October 7 based on LMP.
how are you feeling? So exhausted. I thought I would be able to get through the exhaustion pretty easily with my second because everyone says you forget you’re pregnant when you’re chasing after a toddler, but I can’t seem to forget just how tired I am! Sore breasts, headache, nausea, insomnia...force feeding myself when I get nausea because last time I didn’t and it was terrible.
when is your first appointment/ultrasound? March 12
any questions or concerns? Concerned about waiting so long to hear the heartbeat. I heard it two weeks earlier with my first. Also, unrelated to pregnancy and more so about after the baby is born, I am worried about the amount I have to travel for work and having two young kids.
GTKY: any fur babies or pets at home that LO will be coming home to? One sweet 9 year old mutt. He loves his little brother and wakes him up with a kiss every morning. He did not like my DS at first because of the newborn cry, but now he can’t get enough.
Feeling: Just exhausted. Some cravings. No huge symptoms outside of this.
First appt: Was last week due to spotting and cramping. All was well, measured almost 6 weeks and u/s showed the start of a little nugget with cardiac activity.
Questions?: Not yet.
GTKY: 2 mini doxens, Frankie and Beans! They’ve done ok with our first 2 kiddos, so hopefully this continues.
Feeling: tired and hungry, and that makes me nauseous. A little anxious about my training and weight management through pregnancy
First app: Well the first ultrasound is on Friday, with blood tests to follow, but i wont be seeing the Midwife for at least another month, just the GP until then!
