1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 7w5d. Baby is the size of a blueberry.

2. How are you feeling? Feeling okay. I'm tired all the time and not sleeping, but that's about it.

3. Any appointments this week? I have a follow-up US on Friday to see if baby has grown. Last week's US showed a baby with a HB, but it was measuring 5 days behind. Hoping that's a bad measurement because of my tilted uterus, but we'll see.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions about being AMA? Obviously the small increase in risk of chromosomal abnormalities is not great, but I do love how additional procedures/NIPT are totally covered by my insurance.

5. GTKY: What is your least favorite food? Probably most fish. Although I love fish (salmon and albacore) smoked.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8w4d. Baby is the size of a pygmy seahorse.

2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still nauseous, but it’s bearable. Lots of food aversions, but no real cravings yet.

3. Any appointments this week? Nope. Looking for a care provider and touring hospitals and birth centers this week.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions about being AMA? Hoping that being AMA doesn’t add any major complications. Dealing with IF was enough intense stress.

5. GTKY: What is your least favorite food? Cilantro.

@darkstar42 Looks like it's just us. Pretty small AMA group...

darkstar42 · July 2018

@ruby696 I could have sworn there were more folks whose intro posts said AMA! Maybe people will join in as the week goes on...

ruby696 · July 2018

If not, we're going to know each other very well

I’m also AMA (will be 40 at delivery). But there’s just too many damn check-ins! Ha ha!

okayestmom12 · July 2018

I’ll play! I’m not technically AMA until two weeks before my EDD but my OB is coding my testing as AMA because of when my birthday falls.

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

6w5d. Baby is the size of an earring back.

2. How are you feeling?

Ok. Lots of random nausea that seems to be kept at bay by eating or sucking on a Jolly Rancher. My boobs (more specifically my nips) hurt.

3. Any appointments this week?

No - first u/s is 7/25

4. Rants/ raves/ questions about being AMA?

I hate the term AMA - ha - but I do like that the NIPT is covered

5. GTKY: What is your least favorite food?

Jello gives me the heebie jeebies.

allthingsgo · July 2018

Sorry I’m AMA but completely missed this!

1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10+4, lime?

2. How are you feeling? I was feeling normal again but nausea came back with a vegeance today.

3. Any appointments this week? Got my blood drawn for the NIPT yesterday that’s it until August.

4. Rants/ raves/ questions about being AMA? Why do they call my uterus geriatric now?? Rude!

5. GTKY: What is your least favorite food?

Tofu. Even typing that made me want to hurl.

madwhitlove · July 2018

1. 7w3d, size of uncooked macaroni
2. Constipation just let up today, off and on nausea without actually throwing up. Sore and hot boobs. Lots of bloating. So just great!
3. Next appt is 8 week US next Monday.
4. A little nervous, especially since we already had one loss. Kind of excited that I get more visits and the cell free DNA test covered by insurance.
5. Hmm... I hate anything ginger.

Lmeller83 · July 2018

1. 10w3d, a strawberry.
2. Bloated, heartburn, sore breasts.
3. 1st appt with OBGYN next week at 11w2d. Was released from the fertility center after two good ultrasounds at 7w1d and 8w4d.
4. I am very nervous. We had a missed MC last year at 9weeks, so I am paranoid that something is wrong and there won’t be a heartbeat on the next ultrasound. I will turn 35 on friday 7/13, so I will officially be AMA.
5. I still haven’t recovered from my aversion to asparagus during my 1st pregnancy.

smashedbanana · July 2018

I'm sorry, what is AMA? I'm thinking it's age related? I'm 35, will be 36 when the baby comes. Do I qualify?

allthingsgo · July 2018

Advanced maternal age and yes you do! Anyone over 35 at time of birth is considered AMA.

smashedbanana · July 2018

@allthingsgo

Thanks for clarifying!
Wow tho, was this term invented to make us feel old? Lol

Clearly, it was named by a man.

etnyah · July 2018

*lurking* At my appt yesterday they said it used to be called Geriatric Maternal Age! Way harsh!

Hahaha! He must have been the one to come up with the name Vagina too.

1How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

9 weeks 5 days, baby is the size of a cherry, how sweet

2. How are you feeling?

The evening (instead of morning) sickness has been exhausting, but today and yesterday weren't as terrible.

3. Any appointments this week?

No, last appointment was last Friday and we saw a growing baby and heart beat

4. Rants/ raves/ questions about being AMA?

I don't like the term much either. It's funny because I don't feel much older than my pregnancy last year at 34, but now I'm suddenly elderly

5. GTKY: What is your least favorite food?

Hot broccoli and cheese. I like cold broccoli though

wkugal0510 · July 2018

1. 8w, 2d- the size of a 2x2 LEGO brick.
2. I feel terrible everyday after about 1:00/2:00. Sometimes it lets up around 9, sometimes not. I feel the best in the mornings.
3. I had my first appt today. Everything was confirmed and baby had a strong HB (169). I’m really nervous about genetic testing.
4. I think I feel worse because I’m older. But I’ve said with my others as well. I mean I’ve been older each time I’ve got pregnant ☺️
5. Brussels Sprouts
