When are you due?
10/23

How are you feeling?
Bleh. Nausea is getting worse each day. It’s pretty much constant with a few times of just non-functional here and there. And if this time is anything like the last, it’ll keep getting worse for 2-3 more weeks becedore it starts to calm back down. And tired. Don’t think I’ve made it past 9:00 all week.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
Next week. 3/8

Questions/Concerns?
That I will fall asleep in the middle of the floor and my toddler will destroy the house.

I don’t know. Grew and birth a human?

stephpl · February 2018

When are you due? 10/30

How are you feeling? Normal...I keep forgetting that I’m pregnant.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? End of March.

Any questions or concerns? Not particularly...slightly terrified as to how we’re going to afford 2 kids

concreteayngel · February 2018

When are you due?
11/1

How are you feeling?
Pretty great! Only a little moody and congested.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? I will hopefully get my first u/s on 3/8.

Any questions or concerns? Other than some mild cramping, I feel pretty much the same. I guess I’m just waiting to get sick so this will feel real!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)

Honestly, the last time I felt like a badass, I was giving birth to DS! I can’t wait to feel that again! Hopefully I’ll be able to savor it a little more, since I won’t be as scared shitless as I was with #1. Lol

Mylitta · February 2018

When are you due? 10/27

How are you feeling? Fine. Random queasiness, which is new. I can't tell if it's the pregnancy or my vitamins while pregnant. I didn't get any nausea last time until 2nd tri, and it was because of the prenatals.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? 3/19

Any questions or concerns? Anyone know something safe that will up my milk supply? I'm still nursing my 13m old twice a day and my supply tanked. I called the Dr's office, but they haven't gotten back yet. What I've read said the normal supply/demand won't work while pregnant.

GTKY: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada**
Um, birth is good I guess.

princessandthegator · February 2018

When are you due? According to LMP October 29

How are you feeling? nausea in waves, I'll be starving, eat, and then repulsed and grossed out by the perfectly normal meal I ate. Smells...all the smells. Lots of breast tenderness and fatigue

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? My beta was taken at exactly 4 weeks according to LMP (though I think I ovulated earlier) and it was 847. My first u/s is March 14...pretty nervous about it to be honest.

Any questions or concerns? Just nervous, I think I'll feel better after I get to see my little pumpkin seed and hear a heart beat. TBH I wish I could just fast forward to when I can actually feel them move around and know they're ok.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency) I don't know that I consider myself a badass...I mean I'm pretty outspoken but that's where it ends. I don't like to do things that would put my life in danger...like scale Everest or cage dive with sharks. But I definitely don't shy away from verbal conflict lol...particularly in this climate (I'm a teacher in South Florida about an hour away from MSD, social media has been a battle ground recently).

vizslalady · February 2018

When are you due? Due October 29th

How are you feeling? Overall, not too bad. However, I never feel hungry and often feel sick after I eat. With my first pregnancy my biggest sign I was pregnant in the early weeks was sore nipples. My breasts and nipples aren’t sore at all this time. Interesting.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? In 2 weeks I’ll have a dating ultrasound. 3 weeks is my first real appointment besides the confirmation of pregnancy one I had last week.

Any questions or concerns? Nope!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)
@tinattt23 @concreteayngel I would also say birth! It was a definite high. I have never felt so powerful.

In a a less drastic way, I once did a mud run. I was so physically exhausted afterwards but felt so accomplished! Maybe not a bada** thing, but a definite accomplishment since I am NOT athletic.

oaklandava · February 2018

@mrsmartinez16 thanks for all you do everyday. My husband is a teacher, and I am in guidance. Social media up here in VA has been pretty rough, so I can only imagine what you see everyday. Thanks for all you do and prayers for you guys down there in the epicenter of it all.

klpv415 · February 2018

When are you due? According to LMP October 27

How are you feeling? Some ever so slight nausea, and 90% of the time I'm hungry but nothing sounds good. Some mild cramping that I wouldn't even consider painful, just enough to make me notice that something's going on in there. Pretty sore nipples and just this week I've started feeling super bloated.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? I'm scheduled for March 27th at my 9th week mark, but I'm hoping they can get me in a little sooner (right now I'm on a cancellation list) since *TW* this is my first pregnancy following mc**

Any questions or concerns? Just anxious for that first ultrasound. We're waiting to even tell our families until after we get a heartbeat given what happened the last time.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency) I'm basically a big chicken and get scared of things easily, but I got a giant four wheeler from DH for Christmas, and I felt pretty awesome when I pushed through fear and went down some pretty big hills/ditches on it. Lame I know, but I felt awesome haha.

princessandthegator · February 2018

@oaklandava it's crazy. I always wonder how it is in other states. I have a lot of friends who are SAHM and pretty religious and my FB is full of "this is why I homeschool" and "this country needs more Jesus, not more gun control". There are days when I want to delete my social media but I feel like that's the opposite of what I've dedicated my life to you know?Social studies teachers are supposed to build informed voters, who would I be if I didn't try and inform my less informed peers on current events? Good luck to you and your Hubby, this is a rough field to work right now

oaklandava · February 2018

@mrsmartinez16 I totally agree. It's really hard right now. I have those friends too, some nights facebook is impossible to read because you just want to shake them for being so ill-informed. I'd be lying if the thought of homeschooling my son hasn't crossed my mind in the last few weeks. The isn't because of gun control or lack there of, just because if something happened to him in his kindergarten class and I wasn't there to comfort him, I think I would break. Things can happen anywhere, anytime, but at least we're together otherwise you know? Then I chastise myself because it's such a difficult way to look at it, and that I don't want to keep him from the experiences that school is so great for, so it's always a back and forth you know? Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing your calling and that's more than most people I know personally have the guts to do

Smallangel · February 2018

Starting this for a new week. I’m not sure if someone typically does this or not?

When are you due? 11th October

How are you feeling? Trying to fight away anxiety and doubt about this the lack of symptoms in this pregnancy and count myself lucky. Finding myself wishing away the weeks to after 12 so I can try and relax a bit better.
Slight cramping at times, feeling more hungry and luckily no food aversions that I’ve noticed.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
Had an early scan at 6w 4d so next scan will be at 12w, still need to see my midwife.

Any questions or concerns? Trying to not overthink that a decrease in symptoms equals a possible miscarriage. LO’s heartbeat has been seen so over the moon with that fact.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)

Along with growing and birthing a human, starting my own business and it still growing and being successful after a year qualifies along with being a full time Mummy qualifies.

SawyerRichardson · February 2018

When are you due? 10/27

How are you feeling? Fine! Only symptom so far is heightened sense of smell.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? This Friday, 3/1

Any questions or concerns? Nothing really. Just waiting to see this little baby so I can start to feel like it's more real.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada**.
Im an adrenaline junkie. I love to go skydiving (it's been a while) and I drive cars on race tracks several times a year. I'll be driving again on March 18th for the last time until this LO is born.

oaklandava · February 2018

@smallangel I recently started using Essential oils to help with my anxiety! I'm pretty skeptical about most everything but it helped immensely!

spartan4life · February 2018

When are you due? October 22

How are you feeling? Pretty good most of the time. The last 2 days I have woken up super nauseous, but I ate some toast and went for my workout, and those both really seemed to help. Other than that I’m just exhausted by 6pm. I feel bad for MH because he has been doing most of the chores and cooking, but he has been so good about everything!

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? March 14. We went last Friday because I was having some pains on the right side so they wanted to be sure baby was in the right place...it is! But it was still too early (5w2d based on when I am pretty sure I ovulated) so you really couldn’t see much yet. Can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks and hopefully see the heartbeat!

Any questions or concerns? None at the moment. Just anxious to get to my next scan so I can feel a little more relaxed.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency) I can’t really think of anything at the moment...I will have to think about it and get back to it. I do think growing a human is pretty BA tho!!

wolfpackgrl718 · February 2018

When are you due? 10/23

How are you feeling? Exhausted! But good. Excited/nervous. Nauseous. I've been waking up nauseous in the middle of the night the past two nights and I've been sleeping extra hot, so I'm not sleeping well.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? 3/8

Any questions or concerns? Not yet. I'm just ready for the first appointment to make sure everything is going well and for it to feel more real. I'm more nervous this time around and I'm not really sure why. I think I'll feel better after the first appointment.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency). I would also go with birth!

nvmama · February 2018

When are you due? 10/25

How are you feeling? Physically- pretty normal... besides some cramping and frequent peeing. Mentally... terrified. The more I think about what my body is about to go through (if all goes well), the more terrified I become. Just telling myself to take it one day at a time and to try to be as healthy as possible.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? Not sure. My doc wants to get my HCG levels and then take it from there. I'll find out tomorrow.

Any questions or concerns? Not yet!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency). Since I have yet to birth a human I would say the time I qualified for the Boston Marathon made me feel pretty badass.

kablaze · February 2018

When are you due?
october 24th

How are you feeling?
Mostly okay, I just feel really tired and lazy all the time, which doesn’t work well with having a busy toddler. I’m also hungry all the time and usually have a slight headache.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
march 16th

Any questions or concerns?
My symptoms seem a lot tamer than last time around this point so I’m a little worried about that! But also my nausea hit hard in the 6th week last time and stayed until about 30 weeks so I’m also worried about that approaching!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)
Well... It’s hard to even think of anything! I guess when I hiked Angels’ Landing in Zion National Park I felt pretty awesome. That thing is crazy!

aels12 · February 2018

When are you due?
October 30th

How are you feeling?
Pretty good so far, occasional fatigue and nausea but nothing too bad yet

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
April 10th

Any questions or concerns?
Just impatiently waiting for my appointment! Or for nausea to really kick in, anything to make it seem more real, I’m definitely more nervous this time too for some reason!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)

I’ll go with birth too!

vjmc421 · February 2018

When are you due? October 28

How are you feeling? TIRED, all food is unappealing

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? March 15

Any questions or concerns? Concerned about impending morning sickness. I know it’s coming...

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency). Each time I finished a class toward my master’s degree, while working full time with two kids

amama3 · February 2018

When are you due? I think around October 30th, not for sure tho.

How are you feeling? Tired and a little b!+chy

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? 1st ob appt is March 12th. Should be around 7wks.

Any questions or concerns? Just want to know how far they think I am and to make sure the lo is ok, super impatient for an ultrasound

And I think I am a bad@$$ because I nursed my DD for 18months which I never thought was possible. Had her at 19, will have this one at 22 (:

DunkinDecaf · February 2018

When are you due?
10/23

How are you feeling?
Really good today! My nausea doesn’t usually hit until the afternoon though so that’s not unusual.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
I need to call and book it today actually. The OB who I saw for my u/s Monday after my hip pain said she wanted a follow up u/s next week to make sure the pregnancy is viable, since it was a little too early to see a fetal pole or heartbeat.

Any questions or concerns?
Bit nervous about that next ultrasound, but that’s all.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)

^mmkay gotta disagree with that last bit. Most of my BAMF moments have been mama me. Pretty sure staying up all night holding my girl in the ER or going full mama bear when my cousins’ kids were messing with her was was more badass than anything I ever did before I had these girls.

elynds · February 2018

When are you due?
10/26ish - not totally sure.

How are you feeling?
Pretty good - a little fatigued and nauseated, but nothing major yet.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound?
3/23 - seems like forever away, but I'm glad there should be something to look at when I go.

Any questions or concerns?
Not really, other than the fact that there's no way I'll be able to conceal this pregnancy for long - it's #3 for me and at about 6 weeks there's already a little bump

elynds · February 2018

Blergh, it cut off my last question...
My badass moment is that I swam a mile the day before I delivered both of my kids. Probably will be too cold this time around.

melbo444 · February 2018

When are you due? End of Oct-ish. Thought it was Oct 8, but ultrasound today shows the baby a few weeks behind that timeframe.

How are you feeling? Exhaustified. Anxious a lot of the time, but that's normal for me. Some occasional mild nausea. Thirsty thirsty thirsty.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? I had my first appointment today. The doctor did an ultrasound and saw that I wasn't as far along as he thought, based on my LMP. Tiny blob with a little flicker. It was cool to see it, but I was so nervous about everything, that I didn't get emotional like I expected to. (I'm a crier, all the time, not just pregnancy-related.)

Any questions or concerns? Financial concerns. Ugh. We won't really be able to afford our current apartment once the baby arrives, so we either have to move to a smaller place (with more stuff...) or further away from my husband's job. Some of the places he's looking at have him commuting up to 2 hours each way.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency): LOL, that's not my personality at all. I've done some cool solo traveling, I guess? I drove across all of Canada in 2010, and the first 10 days or so were alone. After that, friends joined me for different parts of the trip. I've also been to Milan, Helsinki, Tallinn, and Dusseldorf by myself. I prefer to have a travel buddy (has to be the right travel buddy!), but being alone in a strange place sometimes is good for the soul.

vizslalady · March 2018

@DunkinDecaf I love your GTKY answer. I’ve actually found that I am more confident and sure of my self since becoming a mom!

muchwanted · March 2018

When are you due? 10/27, but at the first scan there were two sacs, so who knows?

How are you feeling? Emotional, anxious, strong to go off food again.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? Second scan on Monday. Hoping there's at least one heartbeat in there.

Any questions or concerns? I've had a lot of losses (six), so you can imagine I'm anxious about that. I do have one LC.

GTKY: I agree: Moms are badasses! Especially the ones who SAH. I couldn't do it!

I think my badass feat is surviving six losses and twelve IVF cycles (4 fresh cycles, 8 FETs). Never thought that this would be my life.

sarah_smilesss · March 2018

When are you due? Officially oct 22

How are you feeling? Uneasy/nauseous all day. Craving thins like bagels and junk.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? Had two ultrasounds already. First was worrisome and caused me lots of stress as baby measured 4 weeks when I thought I was 6. But just had one today and baby measured 7 weeks, right on track!!! We saw the heartbeat and all

Any questions or concerns? Surprise baby #4!

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency)
proavbly walking my daughter to school babywearing while pushing a double Bob. I have three kiddos!

tropical1982 · March 2018

When are you due? 10/31

How are you feeling? Very few symptoms - bloating, dull ache, vivid dreams but constant peeing.

When is your first/next appointment/ultrasound? first appt is 3/21 - it cannot come fast enough!

Any questions or concerns? Just want to know baby is doing okay, anxious for that first appt. I do know I'll be seeing a genetic counselor between 11-12 weeks. A little concerned about AMA but I'm hopeful that it's just a random cutoff and I'll have a normal healthy pregnancy.

GTKY: Stolen from 2nd week check in: Tell me about one time when you were a total bada** (knowing that as a mom, such things may happen with less frequency) - Definitely when I gave birth! Others never thought I'd be the one to go med free - I even surprised myself. I'm typically the big wimp and I really took it head on and stuck to my original plan. Also when I first went out with a 15 month old and a newborn by myself and didn't fall apart!

princessandthegator · March 2018

@muchwanted how did Monday's scan go?

@muchwanted how did Monday's scan go?

Mostly good, thank you! Two little heartbeats @115 each. There was also a small SCH that freaked me out, but my doctor wasn't concerned. Fingers crossed he's right. Another scan on Monday again.

princessandthegator · March 2018

@muchwanted That's great news!!! When I was pregnant with DD I had never heard of SCH but I've seen it so much this time around, it's pretty common. Exciting that you'll get to see them again so soon!
