@wannaflickone My husband kindly gave me his cold last week, his was pretty short-lived but mine's still kicking! Can't imagine the RLP you must be feeling with bronchitis. Hope you feel better soon!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 14 weeks, baby is the size of a peach
2. How are you feeling? To give a debrief of my post on the symptoms thread, not great. I actually STARTED throwing up last week after just being nauseous off and on in the weeks prior. I thought things were supposed to get better?!
3. Any appointments this week? Hematologist appointment tomorrow, have to get a check-up and make sure my levels are where they should be with my daily blood thinner injections. No baby appointments until next week.
4. Rants/raves/questions? +1 to the ready to not be tired and not sick camp.
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? I'd be just fine with one, but my husband wants us to try again in a few years for a boy. Spoken like someone who didn't have all those awful fertility treatments! We'll see...
@ginny_203 I'm so sorry your nausea has ramped up. That is awful. I hope it subsides quickly. And I hope your cold is better soon. I am SO ready to not pee my pants every time I cough.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 17weeks - baby is the size of a pomegranate
2. How are you feeling? Pregnant. Tired. BIG. I've got some sciatica and possibly pregnancy carpal tunnel. I've also been super moody. Hooray!
3. Any appointments this week? Yes! Check-up tomorrow.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I'm two pounds over my weight gain plan and I'm trying not to get upset about it. I did have a "splurgey" week but didn't think it'd result in SO much gain. I have to keep it cool for a few weeks...I gained 2-3 pounds in one week. Hoping by tomorrow it ends up being only 2lbs, since my doctor will be checking! Anyone else have weight anxiety?
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? Two, I think!
@the-lo yes yes yes to the weight anxiety! The only thing that got me through the first tri was bread which resulted in me gaining 10 pounds! I have tried to be healthier now that I’m feeling better but I dread that scale every time I go to the doctor!
@firsttimespartanmom I definitely gained most of my weight in the first trimester since I, too, could only stomach bread and sweets. Didn't do myself any favors
@the-lo yes, lots of weight gain anxiety here. I am pretty concerned it won't come off as easily as SO many people like to tell me "oh, that 3rd one wrecked my body." I've been at the doctor's office so much recently for my bronchitis and I dread the weight check. I get to go again in a hour. Hoping I didn't gain 2 lbs over the weekend. My parents were in town and my mom is such a good cook.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 16 weeks; avocado this week!
2. How are you feeling?
Overall not great. I have periods where I feel awesome but mostly a lot of headaches and still nauseous.
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope, but I’ll be checking in with my midwife.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I have been super careful with my eating and trying to drink enough water, but still managed to gain 3 lbs in the last week. Combine that with my headaches and history of Preeclampsia and I’m feeling a little freaked out.
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? 4! Or at least we think we want 4. After this pregnancy and how much my two are testing me I’m trying to treat this pregnancy as my last just in case.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I missed last week but I’ve been lurking in my spare time! 17 weeks! pomegranate!
2. How are you feeling? still feel good- allergies came back with a vengeance over the weekend so thank goodness for Claritin
3. Any appointments this week? no but- part rant here- Friday I had one for 4:20 PM. On the Friday before MDW. I called to see if it could get moved up and the office said they were booked. I was hoping to get in early so my DH and I could take TO we have saved to head out to the beach early. Well we get there and all I needed to do was blood pressure and a blood and urine sample. I thought I’d at least get a heartbeat! Really- they couldn’t squeeze that in earlier? Luckily I found out my OB wouldn’t charge for an ultrasound so I got a quick one and all is good so it was worth it.
4. Rants/raves/questions? see above. Also I had a job interview today I think went well. Fingers crossed!
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? We both want 2, but would be ok with 3 if that happened. I’m 35 and my DH is 40 so I’m thinking it’ll be lucky if we can swing 2. If money and my biological clock weren’t an issue I’d probably love 5. I’ll see how my thoughts on the matter are after birthing 1
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 14 weeks and Sprout is the size of a peach.
2. How are you feeling?
Cravings have been in overload lately. I'm downing grilled cheese on toast and mandarins like there's about to be a global shortage. It is starting to contribute to some weight anxiety but I'm trying not to stress too much. At the moment I've only regained what I lost with MS so the doctor is more concerned about that. But there is this little voice in my head saying 'but you don't want to gain too much'. It conflicts with the voice the says 'but not gaining enough could be a problem too'. I'm trying not to give them too much power and instead writing down something new and magical I learned about being pregnant every week into my pregnancy journal. Oh and LC, that's fun.
3. Any appointments this week?
None this week for baby. I have a repeat blood test in a few days to double check my iron levels. I'm still pretty tired and they think it might be my iron dropping. So we're checking that and then I might be on iron pills.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
None this week.
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? We're planning on 2 but DH's parents planned on 4 and ended up with 7 so we're not clinging too hard to that. Life happens. We're far more on the 'not 7' bandwagon than the 'only 2' one.
I'm right there with you all on the weight anxiety. Gained 10 lbs in the first trimester because the only way to cope with the nausea was to eat constantly. Trying to do better now but dreading getting on the scale again.
@wannaflickoneI'm glad I'm not the only one who pees when I sneeze!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 16 weeks, avocado
2. How are you feeling? I've been having bad acid reflux and feel like I can barely eat anything before becoming uncomfortably full. Other than that, feeling pretty good.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I haven't been able to sleep the night through in weeks now. Between uncomfortable sleeping positions and getting up to pee several times I'm exhausted. I'm dreading what will happen in the third trimester because I've heard it gets so much worse.
5. GTKY: How many children do you want? Two. DH would be happy to stop with just this one, so we'll see what happens in a few years.
