Re: Wednesday Ticker Change (7/18)
2. How are you feeling? Still miserable but I know it could be a lot worse
3. Any appointments this week? US Monday was good. Nothing on the schedule until August 6
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Sooooo tired
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? Ha! Nothing I've tried has ever worked. Except birth. Sorry
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 10 weeks. Baby is the size of a cardinal tetra fish.
2. How are you feeling? Not too bad. The nausea is decreasing. I’m still having a lot of insomnia and interrupted sleep though, which sucks. I’ll be so glad when the weather cools down. I always sleep better when it’s cool.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope, but finally picked a provider! My first appt with her will be 7/27.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Spending the day with a friend today, so I’m looking forward to that. We’re teaching a class together in the fall, so we’re trying to get that prepped. It’ll be good to get some work done as I’ve been to distracted by pregnancy to prep much so far this summer.
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? I always feel worse when I’m hungry, so eating is my remedy. I try to eat lots of protein to stay full as much as I can.
@notthecheat Glad your u/s went well!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? - 9 weeks, cherry!
2. How are you feeling? - Okay. Nausea comes and goes, I’ve come to terms with the fact that my boobs will never not hurt. Mentally I feel great though! Seeing the baby and heartbeat was really reassuring.
3. Any appointments this week? - Had my first US yesterday, it went really well! Next up is the first tri scan in early August. Don’t have a date yet though, the friggin imagining department aren’t picking up or returning my calls.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? - Finally telling my inlaws this week! I feel bad for having kept them in the dark for way longer than my parents, but I don’t think they would have handled a potential loss well as they’ve been pining for a grandchild for years.
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? Eating frequently seems to work. As soon as I start feeling hungry I also start feeling nauseous, so I have to try to constantly nibble on something. Problem is, I forget to eat unless I feel hungry, so I end up nauseous anyway.

Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
9 weeks, a cherry
2. How are you feeling?
more hungry, really awful driving home from work, I think it's the heat and needing to eat.
3. Any appointments this week?
nope
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
none
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy?
wish i had one. so far I've tried water, and just eventually throwing up.
Eating often has done the trick for me but my nausea has been very mild so I don't think it counts. FX I haven't just jinxed myself!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
10 weeks! Baby is the size of a strawberry!
2. How are you feeling?
Fine! I've only felt a little nauseous a few times in the morning when I was hungry and had a later breakfast, but as soon as I ate I felt better! Boobs still sore, of course and I've been having those strange pregnancy dreams! Also, last week my lower back started to feel tight and sore. My sis-in-law told me that it's a normal pregnancy thing. It doesn't bother me all the time, just usually when I'm lying on my back or when I get up in the night to pee (which is happening 2 or 3 times a night now!!)
3. Any appointments this week?
FIRST ULTRASOUND TOMORROW!! Hoping and praying to see a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat! I think this will all start to feel more real when we finally get to see our little bean and get some much-needed reassurance!
4. Rants/ raves/ questions?
Just excited and nervous for tomorrow!
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy?
Eating breakfast!
@eliseirene31613 Yay for US tomorrow! So exciting! Hope everything goes well!
DD born 4/1/2023
Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
@eliseirene31613 good luck tomorrow! I hope it's as magical as mine was. Report back!
@eliseirene31613- good luck on the ultrasound tomorrow! I couldn't imagine having to wait this long, you ladies are so tough!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? I am 9 weeks like alot of you ladies!
2. How are you feeling? Its been a little rough with the nausea. I got scolded yesterday by my RE/nurse since I lost 4lbs in 4 weeks, which I am definitely NOT trying to do. I just have no hunger and its so hard to force myself to eat when nothing sounds good. But i am going to try harder. I am already on Diclegis 4 times per day, so not sure what else they could give me
3. Any appointments this week? Yes- I graduated from my RE who I have been with 1.5 years! Its hard to say goodbye to the awesome staff they have and weekly ultrasounds, but its exciting too. I meet with my OB next week. I am not sure what there protcol is for ultrasounds, but I am going to push for lots of them since I am still high risk with a large SCH and one viable baby and one non viable baby. Lots going on in there that we need to keep track of I think.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? Not much that I didn't mention above. Really just praying our one miracle baby keeps growing. I have been lucky to have 5 ultrasounds in the last 4 weeks, but not sure how I am going to feel without them. I would like to get a doppler, but I have a retroverted/tipped uterus and I have heard its harder to find the HB with them.
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? As I said above, I am taking Diclegis, which I believe is just unisom/B6. I also agree with the others that eating more oftem helps, but its hard to eat all the time when you aren't hungry!

I can’t stand the way I smell the day or two after I eat anything with garlic... I think it is crazy I can smell myself. I’m talking the most minimal amount! It’s not my breath, it’s like coming out of my pores! Wtf! And that means my husband usually stinks. Oops.
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? I have been blessed with no sickness. However I did buy a relief band and haven’t needed to use it. It’s like a high tech sea band.
Thanks @darkstar42!
@grebretso I spent 15 minutes on hold until I could make my US appt -_- I'm sorry you're dealing with that. It's the worst.
@ohsunnydays It sounds really weird but I've definitely been smelling more of myself too. Mostly right after I wake up. And my pee has a stronger odor too. Gross.

@notthecheat I am with you on the smells thing. It's been a hot July so far in the Bay and there are a lot of no-deodorant-wearing, crunchy-types that call this area home. Someone help me!
@eliseirene31613 What a wonderful surprise! It's funny, I usually end up measuring a few days behind because of my wonky cycles, but I'll still hold out hope for an earlier due date!
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 9 weeks, cherry (mmmm, cherries)
2. How are you feeling? Pretty good overall, though exhaustion is a mostly constant issue which leads to low motivation, especially at work. I've also had a couple of light bouts of nausea, but usually when I'm due to eat something.
3. Any appointments this week? Nope. My first US is scheduled next Wednesday when I'll be 10 weeks along. I seriously cannot wait! Once we see little dude is good in there, we can finally start sharing the news.
4. Rants/ raves/ questions? I used my home doppler to try to find LO's heartbeat a couple nights ago to no avail. I was feeling extra confident because I've detected a fetal heart rate on a patient as early as 8 weeks, but it was with a hospital-grade machine. I seriously tried on myself for like 10 minutes and wasted a bunch of gel, plus DH was side-eyeing me on the other side of the bed saying, "I told you not to even try, now you're gonna think something's wrong." Ugh, he was right!
5. GTKY: What is your best morning sickness remedy? Preggo pops, mint tea, ginger tea, sea-bands, ice cold water, or a delicious, carby snack.
