1. How far along are you? Any milestones? I'm 11 weeks 3 days. 12 weeks is Sunday!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I thought I was done with nausea, but I guess not. Acid reflux, peeing every 5 minutes, and exhuastion
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I'm ok for the most part until I think about my next appointment. The first doppler appointment makes me nervous because it always takes them time to find the baby, and this time they have to find two.
4. Any appointment updates? My next appointment is Monday at 3
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I have a busy week this week. Tonight I'm going out for my friends birthday, tomorrow I'm meeting up with a friend from out of town, Friday, my sister and I are taking my mom shopping for late mother's day, Saturday we are helping her with an estate sale, and Sunday we have to pack for our trip we leave for on Tuesday. I'm so tired. hahaha
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? I do! My mom lives 45 minutes away right now, but she's moving 8 minutes away and my sister lives about 15 minutes away. My DH's family lives in San Diego (We're in Dallas), but his mom is retired so I'm sure she'll be here often!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 7w6d and far from my loss milestone!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Bleeding has seemed to stop but severe gas bubbles in my upper back have taken its place. Moving is painful.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Better now that we just had our 8w appointment this morning and saw the baby and heard the heartbeat again!
4. Any appointment updates?
See above! 5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
just exhaustion and bad gas pain that makes me cry!
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My mom lives in the building next door and my my older sister lives about 5 mins away!
@texas_t at least you'll be nice and busy up till your appointment so you don't have to worry about it! Then vacation! Woo!
@lexidawg gas in your back? I have never had that- but it sounds super painful! Glad you're not bleeding anymore, though
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 10 weeks tomorrow!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Thought nausea was fading, but the last 2 days have been rough. That plus the exhaustion and crankiness have made me a delight to be around.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Had been feeling really good, starting to have a little more anxiety as we are planning to tell my siblings this weekend and I haven't had an US for a month. I feel pg as hell though.
4. Any appointment updates? Nitp scan next Friday! Looking forward to it.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): not too much going on. My whole family is getting together this weekend for my dad's retirement so I am looking forward to seeing them and hoping I feel better. I haven't seen my brother since last June and my sister since Christmas so it will be great. We are going to tell them the news too, although I always think it's so awkward so I don't know how we'll do it. 6. GTKY:do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My family is spread out all over. My parents are a 6 hour drive, my siblings both live out west (I am east coast). And my in laws are about 4 hours. I do wish they were a bit closer, if my sibs have kids I would like them to be close with their cousins and I only see my family 2 or 3 times a year. I think 2 hours away would be perfect, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. We have a good group of friends here, but they all have their own lives of course so nobody is dying to help babysit lol.
8w5d (adjusted a day at first OB appointment). Loss milestone is still 3 weeks away...
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Mostly the tired and bloated, and I think a little nausea finally kicked in this past weekend.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Now that we’ve graduated from our RE (weekly scans for the last four weeks), we begin the long waits between appointments. We’ll see how this goes since our next appointment isn’t till after our next loss point.
4. Any appointment updates?
As mentioned above - graduated from RE yesterday and met the new OB yesterday afternoon. Next appointment is NT scan on 6/8 (12weeks) and won’t see OB again and genetic counselor till 6/12 (12w3d). Feels like forever away.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My parents still live in my hometown a couple hundred miles away, but they have a place down here maybe 8 miles away, and I’m very lucky they usually come down every few weeks. That place is supposed to be their retirement home, but they refuse to move in. The last time I asked my mom when they were moving (years before I met DH) she asked me when I was having kids and that shut me up right quick! DH’s parents are each several hours away, but his sister is like 4 miles away.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? I am 7 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I am past my loss.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I am very grateful, but I am exhausted and hungry. My boobs have rocks in them and I have had some invisible nausea.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I am cautiously optimistic. I will feel better after we see baby again or hear the heartbeat.
4. Any appointment updates? I go for my 8 week medical history appointment on Monday and I am hoping that they will schedule me for another ultrasound.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I only have 2.5 days of school until summer! I am very excited to be going to the lake for a girls weekend! 6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My in laws are 20 minutes away and they are awesome! My mom is 2.5 hours away and while I miss my siblings, I am glad she is not closer, as she is very controlling.
@texas_t Good luck at your appt next week. My first Doppler appt is next Tuesday morning, and I'm nervous too!
@lexidawg Sorry you're in so much pain. I've never heard of gas bubbles in your back before- is it something a chiro could help with?
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 9 +6, Passed my loss date! 2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Pretty good. I pee a ton and can get pretty bitchy. 3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? My anxiety is at an all-time low. Which freaks me the F out, because if something is wrong, I'm not mentally prepared at all. 4. Any appointment updates? Next appt is next Tuesday morning. They're using a Doppler, and I'm doing the labwork for the Harmony NIPT. 5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Just busy with work. Next week we are going on vacation Thurs-Mon. I can't wait. Kinda nervous about the long car ride, combined with my tiny bladder, but it will be a good time. 6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? Right now my parents are about 40 minutes away, but they're going through a divorce, and I think my mom may move out of state once it's final. My dad will be in the same area, though. My in-laws are about 30 minutes away, and I'm sure will be very involved. Other than my parents/brother, I don't have any extended family here, which is a bummer. My husband's pretty much entire extended family lives within an hour of us.
@texas_t Now I understand the Doppler worry! It took my OB a while to find LO, I was on the verge of tears. Ugh.
@lexidawg I'm happy the bleeding as stopped, what a relief.
@morgantu That's awesome that you get to see and tell your siblings soon
@artemis618 I'm happy that you graduated from the RE, but still waiting for that milestone to pass. *creepy internet hugs* Also, I've never heard of sugarfish! I need to Google (and click your link) but I'm afraid that they won't be as cute as I am imagining
@katy0990 Pending summer, girl's weekend, and semi-distant mom?! That sounds ideal!
@Hollyyyyy I'm excited for your long drive! I'll admit that I only chug my water when I know we're about an hour away from a stop, and that worked well for me. I just saw my OB yesterday and told him that we have a ~14 hour drive coming up, and he wants me to stop and walk every 1-2 hours. It's going to take an eternity if I stop that often! Oy vey.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 10 weeks today! One week past my lost! Most pregnant that I've ever been!!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Pretty good. My new normal requires B6 and frequent lie downs, but it's manageable. I am extra bubbly/gassy after dinner and it makes sleeping difficult, DH is somehow able to sleep when I am next to him constantly burping until I drift off - don't know how he does it.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Better! Hearing the heartbeat via doppler was a huge relief. DH is clearly more excited since he got to hear it too
4. Any appointment updates? Yesterday's doppler was good, 172. Monday next week is my NIPT blood draw, and my last appointment before I move is in four weeks I don't look forward to finding a new OB, but I'm sure I'll love their practice too.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Mini rant: Houses are expensive y'all. I just sent off the good faith check for the new house, I am getting trees trimmed today in current house, and just found out that we get to buy new carpet for our rental (because the last two tenants trashed it). That's about $7,000 gone in one week. Awesome. 6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? Nope! When we move, the nearest family member will be 10 hours away by car, but about 2-4 hours and $1,000 away by plane (regional airports are alarmingly expensive). My family doesn't have that kind of money so I will probably only see my parents once maybe, but that's okay. We're planning an East Coast move when LO is six months old and I'm going to encourage them to see us then when LO is cuter and the airfare is waaaaay cheaper (and in a more fun part of the country). Family aside, we will have a built in military community. DH is going to a school with a very small class, so we can expect to really only interact with fewer than 30 people (including spouses). We haven't met them yet, and we don't have any mutual friends, but military life is a friendship crucible - we'll love or hate each other real fast. I'll be relying on his classmates for the ol' MealTrain, and I'm thinking about hiring a postpartum/LC doula for help in the early days.

How far along are you? Any milestones? 9w4d...well past my milestone! 2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Feeling good. Hurty boobs, definitely more tired than normal but it’s manageable, nausea is pretty much gone and has been replaced by being starving every couple of hours. 3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I feel good this week. Spotting has stopped so that’s a relief for sure. 4. Any appointment updates? Next one is 5/24 5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Well we told family on Mother’s Day so that was nice. My MIL sobbed for like 10 minutes. Maybe it’s the German in me (it is.) but that reaction makes me sooo uncomfortable. It’s great that she’s happy but my family just does not display that much emotion. Like even at funerals. She also called me after we left her house and started sobbing again. Lol I just never even know what to say. As for my family there was some misty eyed crying which is appropriate for us haha. 6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? All of our family is very close except for my SIL, so it’s very nice. We all get along in my family and I’m really glad my kids will grow up with their cousins, which I never had growing up. There can sometimes be tension between MIL and my husband but for the most part they are good. And she loves the crap outta my kid so I’m glad they can have a close relationship.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 8 weeks. Monday will be my first u/s when I’m 8 wk 5 days, which is the same “day” of pregnancy as when I had my u/s showing my loss the first time. 2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Not too many symptoms still, which I’m hoping just means I’m one of the “lucky ones” who won’t get nausea. My paternal grandma had easy pregnancies, from what I’ve been told. Idk if that would pass down to me. 3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Because of the lack of symptoms, I’m not feeling great anxiety wise because my first pregnancy I thought naively that I must have just been lucky, and then I lost that pregnancy. So it feels like I’m repeating that and it’s going to be a long 5 more days. 4. Any appointment updates? Mentioned that above 5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Can I post a picture of my kitty? Not sure the rules on bothering you with my AW photos.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My family is scattered 2-4 hours away from me. I don’t mind them being that far, but my closest friends also live two hours away. I’d like them to be closer. I’m going down to visit them this weekend- help wait out the days before my appointment. SO’s family lives nearby. We see them a little more frequently than I think we need to.

@texas_t I hate doppler appointments! I just wish everything could be an ultrasound, and I'm sure the stress is much higher when they have to find two! Bleh. Anyway, hope your busy week goes okay!
@lexidawg I'm sorry you're having such bad gas pains! Hope they pass soon!
@morgantu We are definitely in the same "nausea's gone...just kidding!" boat. It is a dumb boat and I hate it, haha.
@artemis618 Congrats on graduating from the RE! Though it sucks you have to wait so long between appointments now. And btw, I have never tried Sugarfish but I've heard such good things! That's awesome your OB said it's fine!
@katy0990 You're SO close to summer! Hope those 2.5 days fly by!
@Hollyyyyy Enjoy your vacation! Hope the car ride + tiny bladder thing works out okay!
@echo-charlietango Good luck with your move and finding a new OB! And oh god, I hear you on the houses being expensive thing. Living in LA I have basically resigned myself to renting forever or leaving the city. My best friend just bought a house that was a steal at $650k. So...yeah.
@rosebud332 So glad the spotting has stopped and how exciting you told your family on Mother's Day!
@tumbleweed-1Good luck with your ultrasound - I'm sorry it's on a tough day. Hoping for the best for you. And I'm sorry you're having anxiety about lack of symptoms - but it does happen! My good friend is pregnant right now, almost 20 weeks, and she has never had any morning sickness at all. Like, not even a wave of nausea. And my DD's best friend's mom didn't even know she was pregnant until the second trimester because she felt completely find and has really wonky/long cycles. So, hopefully you're one of the lucky ones! Oh, and I love your kitty.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 11 weeks and 1 day today! I am past all my milestones, thankfully.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I keep thinking I'm done with nausea, then I will get a HORRIBLE bout of it. And of course, the horrible bouts always seem to be in the evening when I am wrangling my tornado toddler and trying to get her to bed. Last night it took an hour of craziness and I was certain I was going to throw up. Once she was down I just had to lie very still until I fell asleep and it passed.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I am feeling pretty good right now. I had a scare with some cramping but after going in for a reassuring ultrasound and deciding to leave my stressful job early (this Friday!) I am feeling so much better. And getting good genetic test results today helped too! I think we'll be ready to announce pretty soon if the 12 week ultrasound goes well next week. My husband told his three sisters this morning, after the genetic tests/gender results came back.
4. Any appointment updates? 12 week ultrasound next week!
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I have posted ad nauseum about my crazy stressful, terrible job and I am thrilled that I got the new job and on top of that, my husband was super supportive about me leaving a week early and taking a whole week off to rest and hopefully get the cramping to totally stop and my blood pressure to go down. I work freelance and seriously NEVER take time off so I am looking forward to next week so much. I'm going to rest, exercise, hopefully I'll feel up to cooking some healthy stuff, and I have a screenplay I'm rewriting and I'm hoping to finish it! I cannot wait!
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My family situation is complicated, unfortunately. My mom and brother are both alcoholics and they live together (which is a terrible idea and they both know it but it's not going to change.) They live about 6 hours away by car and I'm very glad it's not closer. My mom visits when she's sober (my brother is never sober, so he doesn't visit) but she's relapsed and lied about it recently, so they're both not allowed to visit at the moment. So, I'm glad everyone is where they are, I suppose, with my family. As far as my husband's family, he has three wonderful sisters who are much younger than he is (like, 21, 23 and 25) and they are very doting, loving aunts and I wish they lived closer! One, the youngest, is in San Fran, only an hour plane ride from us in LA, and she gets to visit a couple times a year, which is great. The other two girls live on the other side of the country, which is unfortunate!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 11 weeks 2-4 days (need to clarify if the Dr moved or kept my DD the same). I'm past my loss, but haven't had an appt since before it.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Tired, crampy here/there, nausea here/there, constipated (boo)
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Cautiously optimistic still. I will feel a lot more confident after I see the heartbeat once more & pass 12 weeks soon!
4. Any appointment updates? I have an appt tomorrow, my reg monthly appt and blood draw for the Panorama test. Hope to hear or see the heartbeat & schedule an ultrasound for soon.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): We Facebook announced on mother's day. Looking forward to finding out the sex in the next 10 days or so! Hopefully driving the next state over (2hrs) to see my son & I's BFFs this weekend, it's been a few months.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My family, no. I am not sure if I wish they were closer or not. Strained relationships all around. My son is 6 & my parents (divorced, live in different states) have each seen him 2-3x.
Husband's whole extended family lives within 15min of us. They are still not super involved, but see him at least 1+ times a month because I'll take him over there.
Wish both our families weren't so weird & dysfunctional.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 9w2d by U/S dating. Past my loss milestones.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Okay, symptoms are getting a little worse but nothing too bad. Occasional dry heaving in the morning. Mostly feeling sluggish.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Not great. Still really anxious about measuring 4 days behind. If my ultrasounds are accurate that means I was only 5w1d when I got my 3rd beta and it was almost 21,000 which doesn’t make sense. The most it should be at 5 weeks is about 7,000, and it wouldn’t have tripled in 1 day.
4. Any appointment updates? Next appointment is Tuesday. NIPT and a quick peek with the handheld ultrasound. Should have the NIPT results by the following Tuesday, if that all is normal I think I'll start to breathe easier. Maybe.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I graduated last week, now I'm working on studying for my certification exam (sort of). Motivation is hard.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My in-laws live about 40 minutes away and my BIL and his wife live in the same town as us. They're supportive and babysit for free when we need it, so that's nice. My family is spread out all over the country, I do wish they lived closer.

@coco2787 Thinking of you and hoping your Tuesday appointment goes well and your NIPT results are good so you can (hopefully) feel less anxious. If successful stories with similar situations help you at all, my good friend's daughter measured behind and small the entire pregnancy and she is a completely healthy and happy 4 year old now. She just is, and has always been, small. Also, I have heard of babies catching up after measuring behind in the first third or half of pregnancy. Anyway, sending you good thoughts!
Had my monthly appt this a.m. Dr couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. I was getting all- oh no, oh no, oh no. Took me to the ultrasound room & found it. Whew!
12 weeks on Sunday & know gender next Fri hopefully!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 8w3. No real milestones, just thankful for every day I’m closer to 12 weeks. 2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Sickness and boobs are actually getting a bit better, surprisingly. I was so sick with my son and was expecting the same when I was getting really sick week 5 and 6. Now I just struggle with periods of the day, usually afternoons, of feeling intensely full even though I’m not. It’s so uncomfortable and I look SO pregnant. Obviously massive bloat. 3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I actually feel good most of the time. I’ve had a few panic moments- ate the wrong thing, exposed to someone who claims they had been exposed to 5ths disease, but I’m like.. what am I going to do about it? Can I change it? No. Then be happy baby is still in there. 4. Any appointment updates? Next week! Just a routine- nothing fun will happen. 5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): We are having a photographer come take pictures of our house to put t on the market. We’ve been working super hard on getting it perfect and I just can’t seem to get it perfect enough. I just have to remind myself that people aren’t going to notice the tiny bit of wall paint on the baseboards or the almost microscopic pen stain on the carpet.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? My husbands parents live close. His mom lives a 1/2 mile away and is super involved in our lives... mostly a good thing, thankfully. My parents live about 3.5 hours away. I wish my dad were closer but it’s good my mom is that far away.
I already had my 12 week appointment scheduled for Monday, so I'm just waiting until then to talk to my doctor about my ER appointment. For now, I'm barely getting some spotting when I wipe and a little bit of back pain. It was supposed to just be a Doppler appointment, but given the circumstances, I hope we can get and ultrasound to check on the baby. I didn't see the ultrasound machine at the ER, so I feel like I need reassurance. Healthy baby was measuring 4 days ahead, so I'm curious to see if it was due to different equipment or if baby is just big.
Been thinking of you @texas_t. I hope they let you do an ultrasound and everything looks perfect with baby on Monday

@texas_t I had spotting like described today. It is terrifying. I have an appointment for tomorrow too. Mine is for genetic testing. The on call doctor advised to rest and wait for tomorrow.
I hope we both get good news tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you. ♡
Hi all! Had a good appointment today and we got to see surviving baby wiggle around and waving at us. Doctor said baby looks perfectly healthy. It looks like our other baby stopped growing a day or so after our 8 week appointment and the bleeding is probably from the placenta detaching.
@gigglemomma Mine sounds technically almost like a sch, so hopefully it's just a small sch that will resolve itself. I know, it's so scary. Hugs and prayers.
@texas_t glad it was a good appt and the lo in there is strong! Hope you have a super relaxing vacation now! Ps- did your Dr recommend compression stockings for flying? Mine did, but I didn't know if it was necessary this early
Hello all, Just introduced myself a couple days ago and then was struck by a combo of immense workload and intense nausea...s I'll start participating fully in this check in next week but just wanted to say to @texas_t I'm so glad to hear your update. Losing a twin after 8 weeks is what happened to me with my first pregnancy. Its a messed up feeling of loss combined with gratitude for the remaining babe. And that lingers for quite a while, or at least it did for me. I don't have advice per se, but just wanted to share that I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and my three year old is happy, healthy and sassy. You're in my thoughts.
Re: PGAL check in w/o 5/16
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? I thought I was done with nausea, but I guess not. Acid reflux, peeing every 5 minutes, and exhuastion
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? I'm ok for the most part until I think about my next appointment. The first doppler appointment makes me nervous because it always takes them time to find the baby, and this time they have to find two.
4. Any appointment updates? My next appointment is Monday at 3
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): I have a busy week this week. Tonight I'm going out for my friends birthday, tomorrow I'm meeting up with a friend from out of town, Friday, my sister and I are taking my mom shopping for late mother's day, Saturday we are helping her with an estate sale, and Sunday we have to pack for our trip we leave for on Tuesday. I'm so tired. hahaha
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much? I do! My mom lives 45 minutes away right now, but she's moving 8 minutes away and my sister lives about 15 minutes away. My DH's family lives in San Diego (We're in Dallas), but his mom is retired so I'm sure she'll be here often!
*Rainbow 8/2015*
*Expected Rainbows 12/2018*
*Loss of Twin 5/2018*
7w6d and far from my loss milestone!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Bleeding has seemed to stop but severe gas bubbles in my upper back have taken its place. Moving is painful.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Better now that we just had our 8w appointment this morning and saw the baby and heard the heartbeat again!
4. Any appointment updates?
See above!
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
just exhaustion and bad gas pain that makes me cry!
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My mom lives in the building next door and my my older sister lives about 5 mins away!
@lexidawg gas in your back? I have never had that- but it sounds super painful! Glad you're not bleeding anymore, though
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
10 weeks tomorrow!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Thought nausea was fading, but the last 2 days have been rough. That plus the exhaustion and crankiness have made me a delight to be around.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Had been feeling really good, starting to have a little more anxiety as we are planning to tell my siblings this weekend and I haven't had an US for a month. I feel pg as hell though.
4. Any appointment updates?
Nitp scan next Friday! Looking forward to it.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
not too much going on. My whole family is getting together this weekend for my dad's retirement so I am looking forward to seeing them and hoping I feel better. I haven't seen my brother since last June and my sister since Christmas so it will be great. We are going to tell them the news too, although I always think it's so awkward so I don't know how we'll do it.
6. GTKY:do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My family is spread out all over. My parents are a 6 hour drive, my siblings both live out west (I am east coast). And my in laws are about 4 hours. I do wish they were a bit closer, if my sibs have kids I would like them to be close with their cousins and I only see my family 2 or 3 times a year. I think 2 hours away would be perfect, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. We have a good group of friends here, but they all have their own lives of course so nobody is dying to help babysit lol.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
8w5d (adjusted a day at first OB appointment). Loss milestone is still 3 weeks away...
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Mostly the tired and bloated, and I think a little nausea finally kicked in this past weekend.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Now that we’ve graduated from our RE (weekly scans for the last four weeks), we begin the long waits between appointments. We’ll see how this goes since our next appointment isn’t till after our next loss point.
4. Any appointment updates?
As mentioned above - graduated from RE yesterday and met the new OB yesterday afternoon. Next appointment is NT scan on 6/8 (12weeks) and won’t see OB again and genetic counselor till 6/12 (12w3d). Feels like forever away.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Not too much - just so grateful this little girl’s still going and measuring right on track. Also, I think I love my new OB because he told me I could still have Sugarfish (sushi - low mercury fish - per https://www.mfmnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2018-Dos-and-Donts-OBG-1.pdf )
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My parents still live in my hometown a couple hundred miles away, but they have a place down here maybe 8 miles away, and I’m very lucky they usually come down every few weeks. That place is supposed to be their retirement home, but they refuse to move in. The last time I asked my mom when they were
moving (years before I met DH) she asked me when I was having kids and that shut me up right quick! DH’s parents are each several hours away, but his sister is like 4 miles away.

I am 7 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I am past my loss.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
I am very grateful, but I am exhausted and hungry. My boobs have rocks in them and I have had some invisible nausea.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I am cautiously optimistic. I will feel better after we see baby again or hear the heartbeat.
4. Any appointment updates?
I go for my 8 week medical history appointment on Monday and I am hoping that they will schedule me for another ultrasound.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
I only have 2.5 days of school until summer! I am very excited to be going to the lake for a girls weekend!
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My in laws are 20 minutes away and they are awesome! My mom is 2.5 hours away and while I miss my siblings, I am glad she is not closer, as she is very controlling.
@lexidawg Sorry you're in so much pain. I've never heard of gas bubbles in your back before- is it something a chiro could help with?
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
9 +6, Passed my loss date!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Pretty good. I pee a ton and can get pretty bitchy.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
My anxiety is at an all-time low. Which freaks me the F out, because if something is wrong, I'm not mentally prepared at all.
4. Any appointment updates?
Next appt is next Tuesday morning. They're using a Doppler, and I'm doing the labwork for the Harmony NIPT.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Just busy with work. Next week we are going on vacation Thurs-Mon. I can't wait. Kinda nervous about the long car ride, combined with my tiny bladder, but it will be a good time.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
Right now my parents are about 40 minutes away, but they're going through a divorce, and I think my mom may move out of state once it's final. My dad will be in the same area, though. My in-laws are about 30 minutes away, and I'm sure will be very involved. Other than my parents/brother, I don't have any extended family here, which is a bummer. My husband's pretty much entire extended family lives within an hour of us.
@lexidawg I'm happy the bleeding as stopped, what a relief.
@morgantu That's awesome that you get to see and tell your siblings soon
@artemis618 I'm happy that you graduated from the RE, but still waiting for that milestone to pass. *creepy internet hugs* Also, I've never heard of sugarfish! I need to Google (and click your link) but I'm afraid that they won't be as cute as I am imagining
@katy0990 Pending summer, girl's weekend, and semi-distant mom?! That sounds ideal!
@Hollyyyyy I'm excited for your long drive! I'll admit that I only chug my water when I know we're about an hour away from a stop, and that worked well for me. I just saw my OB yesterday and told him that we have a ~14 hour drive coming up, and he wants me to stop and walk every 1-2 hours. It's going to take an eternity if I stop that often! Oy vey.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
10 weeks today! One week past my lost! Most pregnant that I've ever been!!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Pretty good. My new normal requires B6 and frequent lie downs, but it's manageable. I am extra bubbly/gassy after dinner and it makes sleeping difficult, DH is somehow able to sleep when I am next to him constantly burping until I drift off - don't know how he does it.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Better! Hearing the heartbeat via doppler was a huge relief. DH is clearly more excited since he got to hear it too
4. Any appointment updates?
Yesterday's doppler was good, 172. Monday next week is my NIPT blood draw, and my last appointment before I move is in four weeks I don't look forward to finding a new OB, but I'm sure I'll love their practice too.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Mini rant: Houses are expensive y'all. I just sent off the good faith check for the new house, I am getting trees trimmed today in current house, and just found out that we get to buy new carpet for our rental (because the last two tenants trashed it). That's about $7,000 gone in one week. Awesome.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
Nope! When we move, the nearest family member will be 10 hours away by car, but about 2-4 hours and $1,000 away by plane (regional airports are alarmingly expensive). My family doesn't have that kind of money so I will probably only see my parents once maybe, but that's okay. We're planning an East Coast move when LO is six months old and I'm going to encourage them to see us then when LO is cuter and the airfare is waaaaay cheaper (and in a more fun part of the country).
Family aside, we will have a built in military community. DH is going to a school with a very small class, so we can expect to really only interact with fewer than 30 people (including spouses). We haven't met them yet, and we don't have any mutual friends, but military life is a friendship crucible - we'll love or hate each other real fast. I'll be relying on his classmates for the ol' MealTrain, and I'm thinking about hiring a postpartum/LC doula for help in the early days.

BFP#2 Apr 2018 • It's a boy! • Born 13 Dec 2018
9w4d...well past my milestone!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Feeling good. Hurty boobs, definitely more tired than normal but it’s manageable, nausea is pretty much gone and has been replaced by being starving every couple of hours.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I feel good this week. Spotting has stopped so that’s a relief for sure.
4. Any appointment updates?
Next one is 5/24
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Well we told family on Mother’s Day so that was nice. My MIL sobbed for like 10 minutes. Maybe it’s the German in me (it is.) but that reaction makes me sooo uncomfortable. It’s great that she’s happy but my family just does not display that much emotion. Like even at funerals. She also called me after we left her house and started sobbing again. Lol I just never even know what to say. As for my family there was some misty eyed crying which is appropriate for us haha.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
All of our family is very close except for my SIL, so it’s very nice. We all get along in my family and I’m really glad my kids will grow up with their cousins, which I never had growing up. There can sometimes be tension between MIL and my husband but for the most part they are good. And she loves the crap outta my kid so I’m glad they can have a close relationship.
8 weeks. Monday will be my first u/s when I’m 8 wk 5 days, which is the same “day” of pregnancy as when I had my u/s showing my loss the first time.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Not too many symptoms still, which I’m hoping just means I’m one of the “lucky ones” who won’t get nausea. My paternal grandma had easy pregnancies, from what I’ve been told. Idk if that would pass down to me.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Because of the lack of symptoms, I’m not feeling great anxiety wise because my first pregnancy I thought naively that I must have just been lucky, and then I lost that pregnancy. So it feels like I’m repeating that and it’s going to be a long 5 more days.
4. Any appointment updates?
Mentioned that above
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Can I post a picture of my kitty? Not sure the rules on bothering you with my AW photos.
My family is scattered 2-4 hours away from me. I don’t mind them being that far, but my closest friends also live two hours away. I’d like them to be closer. I’m going down to visit them this weekend- help wait out the days before my appointment. SO’s family lives nearby. We see them a little more frequently than I think we need to.

@lexidawg I'm sorry you're having such bad gas pains! Hope they pass soon!
@morgantu We are definitely in the same "nausea's gone...just kidding!" boat. It is a dumb boat and I hate it, haha.
@artemis618 Congrats on graduating from the RE! Though it sucks you have to wait so long between appointments now. And btw, I have never tried Sugarfish but I've heard such good things! That's awesome your OB said it's fine!
@katy0990 You're SO close to summer! Hope those 2.5 days fly by!
@Hollyyyyy Enjoy your vacation! Hope the car ride + tiny bladder thing works out okay!
@echo-charlietango Good luck with your move and finding a new OB! And oh god, I hear you on the houses being expensive thing. Living in LA I have basically resigned myself to renting forever or leaving the city. My best friend just bought a house that was a steal at $650k. So...yeah.
@rosebud332 So glad the spotting has stopped and how exciting you told your family on Mother's Day!
@tumbleweed-1Good luck with your ultrasound - I'm sorry it's on a tough day. Hoping for the best for you. And I'm sorry you're having anxiety about lack of symptoms - but it does happen! My good friend is pregnant right now, almost 20 weeks, and she has never had any morning sickness at all. Like, not even a wave of nausea. And my DD's best friend's mom didn't even know she was pregnant until the second trimester because she felt completely find and has really wonky/long cycles. So, hopefully you're one of the lucky ones! Oh, and I love your kitty.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
11 weeks and 1 day today! I am past all my milestones, thankfully.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
I keep thinking I'm done with nausea, then I will get a HORRIBLE bout of it. And of course, the horrible bouts always seem to be in the evening when I am wrangling my tornado toddler and trying to get her to bed. Last night it took an hour of craziness and I was certain I was going to throw up. Once she was down I just had to lie very still until I fell asleep and it passed.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I am feeling pretty good right now. I had a scare with some cramping but after going in for a reassuring ultrasound and deciding to leave my stressful job early (this Friday!) I am feeling so much better. And getting good genetic test results today helped too! I think we'll be ready to announce pretty soon if the 12 week ultrasound goes well next week. My husband told his three sisters this morning, after the genetic tests/gender results came back.
4. Any appointment updates?
12 week ultrasound next week!
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
I have posted ad nauseum about my crazy stressful, terrible job and I am thrilled that I got the new job and on top of that, my husband was super supportive about me leaving a week early and taking a whole week off to rest and hopefully get the cramping to totally stop and my blood pressure to go down. I work freelance and seriously NEVER take time off so I am looking forward to next week so much. I'm going to rest, exercise, hopefully I'll feel up to cooking some healthy stuff, and I have a screenplay I'm rewriting and I'm hoping to finish it! I cannot wait!
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My family situation is complicated, unfortunately. My mom and brother are both alcoholics and they live together (which is a terrible idea and they both know it but it's not going to change.) They live about 6 hours away by car and I'm very glad it's not closer. My mom visits when she's sober (my brother is never sober, so he doesn't visit) but she's relapsed and lied about it recently, so they're both not allowed to visit at the moment. So, I'm glad everyone is where they are, I suppose, with my family. As far as my husband's family, he has three wonderful sisters who are much younger than he is (like, 21, 23 and 25) and they are very doting, loving aunts and I wish they lived closer! One, the youngest, is in San Fran, only an hour plane ride from us in LA, and she gets to visit a couple times a year, which is great. The other two girls live on the other side of the country, which is unfortunate!
@katy0990 - when everyone asks me- you must be SO excited! I reply- I'm cautiously optimistic right now!
@tumbleweed-1 - good luck at your appt!
@maureenmce - yay for new job & a week off!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
11 weeks 2-4 days (need to clarify if the Dr moved or kept my DD the same). I'm past my loss, but haven't had an appt since before it.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Tired, crampy here/there, nausea here/there, constipated (boo)
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Cautiously optimistic still. I will feel a lot more confident after I see the heartbeat once more & pass 12 weeks soon!
4. Any appointment updates?
I have an appt tomorrow, my reg monthly appt and blood draw for the Panorama test. Hope to hear or see the heartbeat & schedule an ultrasound for soon.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
We Facebook announced on mother's day. Looking forward to finding out the sex in the next 10 days or so! Hopefully driving the next state over (2hrs) to see my son & I's BFFs this weekend, it's been a few months.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My family, no. I am not sure if I wish they were closer or not. Strained relationships all around. My son is 6 & my parents (divorced, live in different states) have each seen him 2-3x.
Husband's whole extended family lives within 15min of us. They are still not super involved, but see him at least 1+ times a month because I'll take him over there.
Wish both our families weren't so weird & dysfunctional.
9w2d by U/S dating. Past my loss milestones.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Okay, symptoms are getting a little worse but nothing too bad. Occasional dry heaving in the morning. Mostly feeling sluggish.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Not great. Still really anxious about measuring 4 days behind. If my ultrasounds are accurate that means I was only 5w1d when I got my 3rd beta and it was almost 21,000 which doesn’t make sense. The most it should be at 5 weeks is about 7,000, and it wouldn’t have tripled in 1 day.
4. Any appointment updates?
Next appointment is Tuesday. NIPT and a quick peek with the handheld ultrasound. Should have the NIPT results by the following Tuesday, if that all is normal I think I'll start to breathe easier. Maybe.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
I graduated last week, now I'm working on studying for my certification exam (sort of). Motivation is hard.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My in-laws live about 40 minutes away and my BIL and his wife live in the same town as us. They're supportive and babysit for free when we need it, so that's nice. My family is spread out all over the country, I do wish they lived closer.

8w3. No real milestones, just thankful for every day I’m closer to 12 weeks.
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Sickness and boobs are actually getting a bit better, surprisingly. I was so sick with my son and was expecting the same when I was getting really sick week 5 and 6. Now I just struggle with periods of the day, usually afternoons, of feeling intensely full even though I’m not. It’s so uncomfortable and I look SO pregnant. Obviously massive bloat.
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I actually feel good most of the time. I’ve had a few panic moments- ate the wrong thing, exposed to someone who claims they had been exposed to 5ths disease, but I’m like.. what am I going to do about it? Can I change it? No. Then be happy baby is still in there.
4. Any appointment updates?
Next week! Just a routine- nothing fun will happen.
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
We are having a photographer come take pictures of our house to put t on the market. We’ve been working super hard on getting it perfect and I just can’t seem to get it perfect enough. I just have to remind myself that people aren’t going to notice the tiny bit of wall paint on the baseboards or the almost microscopic pen stain on the carpet.
6. GTKY: do you have family/support system near by? If not, do you wish they were closer or not so much?
My husbands parents live close. His mom lives a 1/2 mile away and is super involved in our lives... mostly a good thing, thankfully. My parents live about 3.5 hours away. I wish my dad were closer but it’s good my mom is that far away.
I'm nervous.

BFP March 30, 2018 | EDD December 12, 2018
Just introduced myself a couple days ago and then was struck by a combo of immense workload and intense nausea...s I'll start participating fully in this check in next week but just wanted to say to @texas_t I'm so glad to hear your update. Losing a twin after 8 weeks is what happened to me with my first pregnancy. Its a messed up feeling of loss combined with gratitude for the remaining babe. And that lingers for quite a while, or at least it did for me. I don't have advice per se, but just wanted to share that I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and my three year old is happy, healthy and sassy. You're in my thoughts.
