This is a check in for those of us who are experiencing pregnancy after a loss (miscarriage, chemical pregnancy, stillbirth, child loss, to name a few). Hopefully we can all lend support to each other through the hormone filled craziness that is pregnancy!
Just a reminder: there is a general loss trigger warning on this entire thread.

Re: PGAL Check in week of 2/28-3/6
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
10 weeks 6 days. Getting past 9.5 weeks was a milestone and feels great.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Nausea is almost gone - which is great - and instead I just have a somewhat queasy feeling at times.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Feeling great today and a lot less worried after an ultrasound today.
4. Any appointment updates? When is your next appointment?
Had my first midwife appointment today and had a bunch of blood drawn for testing. She tried to find the heartbeat with her Doppler and couldn’t. She went and got a stronger Doppler and tried again for ten minutes. Nothing. My husband wasn’t with me and I was starting to freak to F out. She offered to do an ultrasound - I wasn’t planning on one - but said yes please. The little one was bouncing around and kicking. Totally healthy and amazing. I feel like such a weight has been lifted and I can begin to finally bond and stop worrying so much.

6. GTKY: Which do you prefer, sand or snow?
This is a tough one because I love the beach, but also love snowboarding... If pressed though, I think I’d go with sand - like sand on a Hawaiian beach ❤️
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 10+ 4, if it’s still healthy then we’re past both milestones.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Tired! Eating ia getting easier, butbfood aversion is getting worse? I tried to eat a burger last night and had to leave the table.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Ugh, so torn, symptoms are plenty strong I should not be concerned, but waiting 2 more weeks for a heartbeat check just seems sssoo farrr awaaayyy.
4. Any appointment updates? When is your next appointment?
Genetic counselor on Monday.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Super nice weather has me hilling away at spring clean up and I’m so excited to have it done while I’m feelin okay. I did a ton of work this fall anticipating not being able to come spring and now I feel ahead of the game for the first time ever!
6. GTKY: Which do you prefer, sand or snow?
Snow! I love winter, and have very little experience with sand, so it just seems messy to me.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones?10+2. Past my CP milestone.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Nausea comes and goes and seems to be worse at night. No food really seems " good " to me right now. More tired than usual but haven't been sleeping the best.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I haven't seen a HB since 7 weeks. My next ultrasound will be March 13 so yes anxiety and lots of it. Worry about things that could be/are going wrong. Trying to take it day by day and not get consumed by it. Just enjoying the pregnancy is not happening for me at this point.
4. Any appointment updates? When is your next appointment? March 13. Less than 2 weeks now thank goodness.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): We have had some gorgeous spring weather this week which is unusual. It has done a lot for my mood, got out for a jog outside a few times this week and the sun on my face felt incredible. Also I haven't bought anything maternity or even looked yet. Maybe a new sports bra this weekend. Maybe.
6. GTKY: Which do you prefer, sand or snow? SAND hands down. I am living in the wrong part of the world!

...I am seriously tempted to ask for a check before then just for my sanity, but then again, I want dh there and coordinating w his availability is tricky. The less tome off he has
to take the better.
@sclarke7 we’ll be impatient buddies together! 11 more sleeps for you right? We got this! Food on the other hand, I have no idea what is gonna keep things happy one minute to thhe next!
@love4b so glad they did the ultrasound for you!! I can’t wait for our next one, I really wanna take a video of the wiggles to keep me sane between visits!

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Well tonight I finally had to say goodbye to my horse I’ve had for 16 years. He was my best friend. I’ve been crying on and off everyone keeps telling me to calm down and stop crying which makes me so angry I CAN BE SAD!!!!!!!!!!! He was my best friend!!! I’ve had him since I was 12 what do they expect from me!
6. GTKY: Which do you prefer, sand or snow? Snow the beach is nice but I hate living in tropical weather.
You cry as much as you need to. That horse was your partner in ways most people can't imagine or understand. They make great therapists. I hope that it was peaceful and that he/she is now more comfortable.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
We were out of town for a few days. It was nice to have a family trip, but I'm trying to figure out how to catch up on those work hours without using up all my PTO. At the current rate, I'll have zero hours to use when this baby comes. I'm kind of stressing about work stuff. I'm also behind on some other things because I didn't get a chance to really set things up before we left last week because I didn't have childcare the one day I could have worked. And my daughter has ANOTHER cold - they've been every 2-3 weeks this winter. I know she can't help it, but I can't keep taking days off.
We finally told my MIL about this pregnancy, and my daughter knows, so more and more people will be finding out now. I'll probably announce on FB in the next few days.
6. GTKY: Which do you prefer, sand or snow?
Sand, although I'm not a hot weather person. I do love the beach, and around us that usually means the place we go to cool off when it's too hot because it's usually cooler and breezy out there.
