Re: FTM check-in w/o 3/24
1. When is your EDD/how far along?
I’m 5w5d today and due 11/19
2. Any appointments this week?
My first ultrasound is this Tuesday and I’m so excited!!!!
3. Symptoms?
I had the slightest touch of morning sickness the past few days so I’m worried it’s about to ramp up. Other than that I had an emotional breakdown in the grocery store the other day because I really wanted a turkey sandwich and I’ve been vegetarian for 5 years. My husband was confused and amused at the same time.
4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby?
So my favorite hobby is video games. I know that sounds crazy but I come from a family of people in the gaming industry and I started young and I can’t stop lol. My husband always jokes that I’ll have to give up gaming once the baby comes but I’m sure I’ll find a way to continue lol.

I'm sooooo tired! I slept for almost 10 hours and now all I want it to take a nap! I have sore boobs off and on and very very occasional MS.

1. When is your EDD/how far along?
EDD is November 27 but I’ll likely have a c section several weeks before due to needing to be on blood thinners. I’m 4w5d!
2. Any appointments this week?
My RE said they were happy with my blood work last week and didn’t feel the need for additional level monitoring this week, but if I wanted to I could. I’m going to go once, on Tuesday, just to put my mind at ease. Other than that, really looking forward to our first u/s at 6w1d on 4/4!!
3. Symptoms?
My boobs are sore every day and I do notice myself being a lot thirstier than normal, thus having to pee more frequently. I’ve also had some cramps/twinges that my doctors attributed to either round ligament pain or uterus expansion. Oh, and I’ve had heartburn. So far, not too bad! Hoping to stave off morning sickness for at least a few more weeks.
4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby?
I am a classically trained pianist so I’d have to say playing the piano, although I don’t get to enjoy it as much as I’d like to because of my busy work schedule.
So so excited to finally be a FTM with you ladies! ❤️
@marfi236 I have never played WOW but I'm sure I would be just as addicted to that as I am to ESO lol. I have the switch as well but I'm not spending too much time on it which has surprised me.
As for symptoms, yesterday I noticed a decrease in my breast tenderness and I had a nervous breakdown. They are sore again today so I feel a little better but I'm definitely on edge. Dr. Google does not help. I know it can be normal and worry isn't always logical. But I know I'll feel better after my ultrasound on tuesday as long as everything is okay.

2. Any appointments this week?
First one with my OBGYN on Tues

Swollen tender breasts, bad heartburn, trouble sleeping, increased sense of smell, and crazy food cravings. I have HATED broccoli my entire life, from like 4 years old until about a week ago. Now I can't get enough of it!
4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby?
I have so many lol! I am a full time student, so my free time is limited but I enjoy reading, playing guitar, polymer clay crafting, and play ESO with my other half. I also enjoy going to the shooting range and going to the movies!
@linz36 Been playing ESO on PC for about 2 months now, I'm hooked!!!

4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? I used to coach cheer and I loved doing that! It took up most of my time, but I stopped last year because of my wedding. I am still looking for something to do to take the place of it.

2. Any appointments this week? Had my first appointment with my GP, but we don't have our first ultrasound until April 16th, when we will hopefully be able to hear/see a heartbeat!
3. Symptoms? oh boy, the fatigue is REAL! - fell asleep at work today (very briefly!). Super sore boobs, and lots of bloating/constipation. I can't seem to drink enough water! And the dreams have definitely started, had a pretty vivid one about having twins last night.... I am a fraternal twin myself, so I know that increases my chances - twins would be great!
4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? Anything outside! Especially with my dog or my family's dogs (there are 7 of them all together). Excited to be getting into spring here in Canada so I can spend more time outside again without freezing!

2. Any appointments this week? Nope. First one is next week and I can't wait! I got my bfp pretty early so it has felt like an eternity.
3. Symptoms? The past week has been rough--constant nausea and food aversions to basically everything. I pretty much have to be snacking on saltines all day to make it through work (my coworkers will definitely be on to me soon!) Super tired, sore boobs, digestion issues.
4. GTKY: What is your favorite hobby? I'm a big reader but the fatigue had made that a little challenging lately. Also enjoy listening to podcasts.
