How big is baby? Paperclip

Symptoms? Mostly sore boobs right now. Nausea seems mostly subsided, although I do seem to feel gross when I go to bed. Tired, but since I'm now off for the summer (woo!) I can nap when I want which is great!

R/R/Q We have our first u/s on Wednesday, at which point I'll feel comfortable telling people, assuming everything looks good.
Q: Did you opt to have any prenatal screening or genetic testing done? Why or why not?

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? I've been wanting pizza more frequently than usual. Haven't had too many aversions beyond what I normally don't like, but I'm a fairly picky eater to begin with.

How big is baby? A strawberry

Symptoms? Mainly fatigue. My boobs have also grown already.

R/R/Q Ultrasound today and I can't wait...very anxious! Hoping to see the baby has grown like it should!

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? I'm not really craving anything and nothing is really gross. But everything sounds like it will be good and nothing sounds good at the same time. I'm constantly hungry but can't eat a whole lot either. Very weird balance there.

emmaaa · June 2018

@Ghostie625 We decided against genetic testing both times. Part of the reason being that we are both pro-life and the results would not effect our decision on keeping the baby (and I know that it wouldn't effect even all pro-choice people but that is one reason for us). The other part is because our family history and medical history would suggest that it is a very low chance for genetic abnormalities to begin with. Obviously now impossible, but pretty low to the point we decided it would just stress me out more.

I am a very Type A person so it does go against my personality in general. I know a lot of women like to get the testing done to have the most information possible so they can make a plan if needed.

How big is baby? kumquat

Symptoms? Feeling less nausea and somewhat getting a teeny tiny appetite back. Having crazy weird dreams and peeing all. the. time.

R/R/Q anyone else out there with a retroverted/tilted uterus? I was just reading the notes from my U/S that they posted on my online health chart and saw it noted. Looked at dr. google (big mistake) and saw some scary stuff if it doesn't "pop forward" soon. BUT it does explain/affirm some bladder issues

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? not really consistently craving anything these days but will get a fleeting random "oh that sounds good" moment but by the time I go to eat said item, it has passed and I am grossed out again. Main aversions are still meat, fish, mexican food, anything super strong smelling

KLS123 · June 2018

@Ghostie625 ohhh good question. I'm also curious to hear people's thoughts/choices on that. I am leaning towards not getting it done since we are low risk, want to remain team green and I don't think it would change how we progress with the pregnancy BUT I haven't totally made up my mind yet...

@emmaaa The "I'm hungry but nothing sounds good but this kind of sounds good but now that it's in front of me I hate it" it driving me crazy.

kgg2241 · June 2018

@emmaaa Good luck today! FX for a smooth appointment!

How far along are you? 10+2

How big is baby? The size of a chocolate truffle.. however big that is...

Symptoms? I'm feeling more emotional the last couple days. I'm out of town for work all week and it just has me unusually down and already missing my family.

R/R/Q None today.

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? I have been hating the taste of coffee lately, which shocks me. I LOVE coffee. I guess it is a good thing, but just strange.

tosh24 · June 2018

@Ghostie625 No NIPT here. It's not covered until you're over 40 here so I won't be paying the $700 it costs to have it done OOP. Unless it was something that was incompatible with life where it would be more humane to medically terminate, I don't think the results would change anything for DH and I.

How far along are you? 10+0

How big is baby? Strawberry/guitar pick

Symptoms? Boobs still massive and sore. Some gagging, mainly in the morning and evening. Nausea and overly full feeling has decreased so I'm feeling a bit better. Still finding it hard to find things to eat that sound good - lots of aversions still. Super sense of smell. Still have the sour taste in my mouth, although it *may* be letting up a little bit. Had some mild cramping yesterday a bit and now today again.

R/R/Q Anyone else still feeling on/off cramping? I think I am a little more sensitive to it given my history, but I have felt it more the last couple of days. I've heard the uterus goes through a lot of growth at this point so maybe that's why?

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? This pretty much varies minute by minute. Except for raw broccoli and carrots. I can always guarantee that those will be OK.

alexandraseattle · June 2018

@Ghostie625 I have my appointment with a genetic counselor tomorrow! I’m getting the Cell Free DNA test to make sure all is good. I’m also getting the Ashkenazi Jew panel. I’m half Jewish, but DH isn’t Jewish at all. So low risk but I need to put my mind at ease. Cross your fingers the little sea monkey is just fine and things can continue on as they are.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · June 2018

How far along are you?
11ish weeks. I was measuring ahead at my last ultrasound but I should get a better idea at my next appointment next week.

How big is baby?
Lime

Symptoms?
nausea but I haven’t thrown up in a few days (woo hoo!), round ligament pain, sore/full boobs, cranky

R/R/Q
Rave: DH got a new job!!!

Rant: I’m still looking for a job. Bleh. I’m also trying to figure out insurance. I have my benefits through August. Covered California is absolutely awful. No doctors around here accept it including mine. We may have to COBRA until we figure out insurance. Bleh.

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?

It’s usually whatever sounds good at the moment.

How big is baby? raspberry I think

Symptoms? nausea off and on but its getting less frequent. boobs are getting bigger. diarrhea. mood swings- I'm snapping at DH more often, which I hate but I just cant NOT snap at him sometimes

R/R/Q
Today is my first day of summer break! I was supposed to have jury duty but it was cancelled. DD is at daycare and I'm getting so much stuff done around the house!
I have my intake appointment with the OB nurse on Wednesday. We didn't do testing with DD and probably wont this time around either. @Ghostie625 we weighed our family history and risks, and decided that it wasn't worth it to get testing done
We are taking DD camping for the first time this weekend... I'm nervous and excited to see how it goes

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? Add me to the "always hungry but nothing ever sounds good" club. I don't think I've had any craving or any true aversions, just usually settle on eating something that I think will stay in my belly without making me feel gross. I'm making tacos for dinner tonight, which I usually love but am just feeling meh about right now.

kaf1788 · June 2018

@Ghostie625 I've been struggling with the idea of genetic testing and haven't yet made up my mind on NIPT. It isn't covered by my insurance but if you call Natera directly (if that's where your doctor is ordering from of course) and tell them it's denied they'll give you a discounted price of $200. I did the Ashkenazi Jewish panel and just found out I'm a Tay Sachs carrier. As stressful as that is, it's weirdly making me go all mama bear and lean towards more testing so I can be as informed as possible and make the best choices possible for the baby, but I can see how another person's feelings would be totally different.

How big is baby?
I don't have my app close by lol. Still teeny.
Symptoms?
Intermittent nausea. Sore, gigantic boobs. Lots of stretching feelings going on in my abdomen/groin area.
R/R/Q
I got nothin right now
GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?
Right now my big cravings are watermelon and milk tea with all the boba. The sight of hardboiled eggs in my work cafeteria literally kills me. I don't even have to smell them.

How big is baby? a lime

Symptoms? sensitive nipples, gagging when I cough, insane amounts of bloat.

R/R/Q My mom bought me some maternity pants this weekend since this bloat makes it so I can’t button any of my pants. They are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn! Why are all pants not made like this?!?

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? I’m seriously craving an Arby’s beef and cheddar, but I’m being good and not going for it. I’m also going nuts for strawberries.
Eggs and milk are super gross to me right now. Can’t handle the smell.

How big is baby? paperclip

Symptoms? im still very tired in the afternoons. Most of the time I can nap with DD

R/R/Q:
I have the 10w blood draw tomorrow and I'm going to the local 4d ultrasound office. They now offer Sneak Peek so I'm going to do that to know sex of baby.
I did the Gender Reveal urine test this morning and it said boy! So we will see.
@Ghostie625 I had a long talk about NIPT with my Dr. He told me the blood work from the 10w is the same as NIPT just doesn't give the sex of baby. Last time, I did NIPT and no NT scan. We wanted to know everything was fine with baby and sex so we could plan everything for baby. We already had a girl name picked but had no idea for boy name. Well I got a girl, so the name was easy. This time we can't decide on anything so it's best to just have to come up with 1 name vs. 2.

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?
Im not really craving too much (yet) . Definitely it the boat of " oh that sounds good" I have been very lucky and haven't had any food gross me out.

How big is baby?
Strawberry

Symptoms?
bloated, exhausted, sick in the evenings before going to bed, sore boobs, sensitive to smells

R/R/Q
Has anyone started having RLP yet? I am feeling it every day lately! Not too bad, but definitely noticeable.

I haven’t decided on the genetic testing yet. I have an appointment next week and could get it done then if I decide to. This might be a dumb question but does anyone know if the fathers age affects the baby’s risk? My husband is 44... not super old but not young either. I don’t think it does but I’m not certain.

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?
I am craving lemonade and drink it every day! Also salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Bagels with cream cheese are very satisfying too! I basically eat breakfast and lunch and then stop eating because I know I’ll be feeling sick in the evening!

The one food that I cannot handle is bacon. I don’t want to see it, smell it, or even think about it! I also have a hard time with the thought of cheese, unless it’s Parmesan cheese, for some reason that’s ok.

How big is baby? a lime

Symptoms? insane nausea - I had to give in and get meds yesterday.... it was horrible! Also, I don't remember ever being so tired in my life. C'mon 2nd tri!!

R/R/Q: I should get the results of my NIPT on Friday and I'm super excited to find out gender. Its actually the ONLY reason we did the NIPT. Also my BILs bachelor party is Saturday which means my DH is leaving Friday and won't be back until Sunday so I'm bummed that I have to keep the gender a secret until I have a chance to tell DH because I hate keeping secrets.

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out? Anything carby or sweet has been my craving for weeks now. Prior to getting pregnant I was doing keto and grilled asparagus and squash was my favorite. DH made some for dinner last night and I gagged after eating the tiniest piece.

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@Ghostie625 I am super pro ALLLL of the testing. For one, I am absolutely a ‘give me all of the information so I can best prepare’ kind of person. H and I also had a conversation before we started trying to have kids that, while we couldn’t say for sure what we would decide if we were ever actually put into the situation, we were both pretty sure we would want to TFMR if there was something serious wrong with the baby. And on the opposite side, of what’s wrong isn’t life threatening, sometimes knowin and having the extra prenatal care can make all of the difference. That being said - a lot of this is also spurred by PGAL brain and trying to reassure myself I will have a healthy baby!

How far along are you? 10+4

How big is baby? Tiny but working it’s way up there!

Symptoms? I’m basically still useless especially after 3pm. The nausea and general stomach upset are pretty bad, but I do think they’re finally fading. Last night I had my first night where I felt almost normal in probably over a month! Also been having some cramping and maybe c section scar pain lately.

R/R/Q 6 more school days left until the end of the year. I am BURNT OUT!

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?
Salads and chicken are disgusting to me. This happened with DD too. I want lots of Mexican food and also carbs.

tosh24 · June 2018

@BitterBetty12 Glad you had a good night sickness-wise the other day! Hopefully you've turned the corner and start to have more good days than bad. I have been feeling a lot better this week. Still awful in the morning and evening (and I'm still napping after dinner every night lol) but SO MUCH better throughout the day other than some minor, random waves of nausea. I'm somewhat relieved to hear you say you've been having some increased cramping because I have been having the same thing since Sunday. Almost feels like I'm back in weeks 4-5. Still relatively mild (with some random, stronger twinges here and there), but noticeable and annoying. I've read that the last bit of 1st tri the uterus is expanding pretty rapidly so I'm trying to attribute it to that to help calm my nerves.

MrsPyrowiz · June 2018

How far along are you?
11+1. I'm excited to be almost out of the first trimester, but this pregnancy is going by way too quickly! This is probably our last, so it's kind of bittersweet that it's going so quickly.

How big is baby?
lime? Is that right? #thirdbabyproblems

Symptoms?
Sick, can't sleep on my back anymore, tired, emotional, etc.

R/R/Q

GTKY: What foods are you craving right now? What's grossing you out?
craving Liptons extra noodle soup. Grossing me out is literally everything else.

Genetic testing answer, we're doing the progenity blood test because my husband is super impatient and doesn't want to wait until anatomy scan to know the gender. We already have a boy and a girl, the only reason we're leaning towards wanting a girl is because we can't agree on a boy name, so it totally doesn't matter. we also want to know which clothes we can sell/donate. Hahahaha

BitterBetty12 · June 2018

@tosh24 yeah this really is the time where it is normal for symptoms to calm down! If I remember correctly by 11 weeks I was actually almost completely symptom free with DD and only had some random days of relapse. So it IS a good thing and a normal thing that we’re starting to feel better. But it’s also hard to rectify, especially with PGAL brain. But yeah I’ve absolutely been attributing the cramps to a growing baby. At this point we’re getting close to the uterus popping above the pubic bone so it makes sense that there are some associated growing pains!

Also speaking of feeling terrible in the morning and night (that’s my situation too) this morning is BRUTAL.

rooonilwaazlib · June 2018

How far along are you?
