Re: Week 1 Check in (7/30)
Any appointments? Yes, later this afternoon.
Questions?: For second+ time moms, are your symptoms pretty similar this time around or different? Just curious. My boobs use to be so sore around the time AF was due and it was also one of my first symptoms last time I was pregnant. But, ever since I had my son, my boobs don't get sore anymore including now that I'm pregnant again.
How are you feeling?: Nausea is still on and off, food aversions to almost everything and exhaustion.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? The Big Sick and I really liked it. It's on Amazon Prime for free right now. It's based on a true story about a culture clash between a Pakistan born comedian and an American grad student.
Due date: 3/1
Any appointments? Two weeks from today!
Questions?: Not today.
How are you feeling?: We told DH's family yesterday and they asked how I was feeling. I told them them 90% of the time I feel awesome and 10% of the time I feel like complete crap. That seems to hold true for the first trimester. There is no in between. It's either I feel so good I wouldn't know I was pregnant or I feel so awful I can't do anything except lay on the couch.
Who was talking about constipation/diarrhea last week? That has continued for me this week and ramped up this morning. *TMI Warning* I woke up to an upset stomach and sat on the toilet for 20 minutes. I broke out in a cold sweat all over my body and felt so lightheaded that I was going to pass out. I almost had to call DH in to put a cold towel on me. Now I feel totally fine, but this morning was pretty scary.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? I want to say it was Avengers: Infinity War. I almost never watch movies anymore. It was good, but I didn't like the ending. I just wanted to know what would happen next. It was too much of a cliffhanger.
Any appointments? Not until late August
Questions?: Not at the moment
How are you feeling?: Tired, occasionally sore breasts, slight queasiness on an empty stomach, slept horribly last night. No matter how soon before bed I stop drinking water, I have to get up to pee three or more times in the middle of the night.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Ready Player One. I thought it was graphically pretty good but overall a mediocre movie.
Due date: 3/1/18
Any appointments? not for 2 more weeks
Questions?: still curious about anyone who has experience with dopplers, which one they suggest for heartbeat listening.
How are you feeling?: really good actually, my periodic nausea has subsided for the most part, just tired all the time still, but i'm still on progesterone injections through this week. I cant wait for them to be done, my poor butt hurts so bad! My boobs are still sore, and my jerk of a furbaby literally headbutts them and rubs his collar on them like every chance he gets when he lays down next to me. I want to throw him across the room when he does it lol.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? I honestly cannot remember the last new movie that I have seen. But I am going to go see christopher robin when it comes out!
Any appointments? Next appointment in 3 weeks, with a new office.
How are you feeling?: @brookepdavis and @pipsqueak624 I definitely made a sprint to the bathroom this morning in the middle of story time at the library.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? I can’t even remember, haha! We watched a documentary on WWI from BBC last week which was good, but intense.
Due date: 3/1
Any appointments? Had one on friday
Questions?: I read deli meat is a no go due to nitrates but I would possible kill for a good turkey sandwhich. STM did you eat deli meat??
How are you feeling?: Bathroom issue are no joke! I tried to cut back on my morning coffee but lets just say nothing happens for days if I don't drink it every morning..getting backed up it the most uncomfortable thing I've really dealt with. Besides that my nausea is only bad later in the day and my boobs hurt.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Please dont judge me lol it was Twilight. I wanted to take a nap and put on the first thing I knew I could listen to, not get involved in the story and nap.
Any appointments? Not until Aug 24th
Questions?: @chocolatelemons I feel a lot better this time compared to last time. I’m not sore in my hips yet and I only have nausea on and off during the day instead of constantly.
How are you feeling?: Nausea on and off, tired, still have a lack of appetite, irritable this past weekend
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? DD and I watched Ella Enchanted over the weekend. It’s cute, I’ve seen it I don’t know how many times previously.
Any appointments? Ugh. Haven't been yet. First one is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.
Questions: My first appt is with a nurse. I'm going to a new office, so I don't know what to expect. (I should have asked when I called, obviously, but I didn't.) Anyway, I saw someone on another thread say they had an ultrasound at a first appt with a nurse. Anyone else had this/heard of a nurse doing an ultrasound, or did you have to wait for an appt with the doctor?
How are you feeling?: I get nauseous if I don't eat pretty much constantly... so that's fun. More tired than usual - I'm having a terrible time getting moving in the morning. I'm a teacher, though, and I've never been so grateful for summer vacation.
@brookepdavis I'm totally in the one extreme or the other camp, too. I either feel great or awful.
@chocolatelemons I feel completely different this time around than the first time. With dd, I had pretty much zero symptoms except for being really tired. This time, I'm feeling it a lot more.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? DD has been loving Coco. I really like it, too. I've always been a big Pixar fan. DH and I watched the new Bladerunner on HBO last weekend, too. I thought it was slow to get going, but I liked it overall.
I got a Doppler during my first pregnancy because I was a nervous wreck. I ended up not using it much because it gave me more anxiety if I could not find the heartbeat.
Any appointments? Next Wednesday 8/8
Questions?: nope!
How are you feeling?: still sick and exhausted but super happy!
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Love Simon-thought it was cute. Also A Quiet Place, scary but loved it!
@chocolatelemons I loved The Big Sick!
3/8
Any appointments?
Just got rescheduled for next Tues 8/7
Questions?:
I always have a ton, until the moment I do a checkin
How are you feeling?:
Kind of all over the place. Woke up feeling quite energized (even though I only got 3 hrs of sleep), no nausea, and feeling very positive. Then I ate and suddenly felt nauseous and feeling defeated/useless. Ugh
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think?
I saw Eighth Grade about a week back with some gfs. I thought it was really well done. It made me recall the angst of middle school in vivid detail, and I left feeling like a warrior for having survived those years LOL.
Any appointments? My nt scan is booked for 27 August. I will have to see my GP before that to get more morning sickness meds though.
Questions?: no questions. Just trying to power through the first trimester in the hopes it will get better.
How are you feeling?: pretty lousy. But that's too be expected. I'm not a good pregnant person.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Incredibles 2. I really enjoyed it.
Little boy due July 31st 2016
Any appointments: We have a midwife coming to the house this Wednesday. Aiming for a home birth this time. But I have so many questions for her, like is she affiliated with a hospital, where will I get labs done etc.
Questions: WHY DO I ALREADY LOOK 4 MONTHS PREGNANT?! Grrrr
How are you feeling: only throwing up every few days, but other than that good. Walking/dancing every morning and getting a nap in with the babies every afternoon.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think: We watched the end of Hercules today...... other than that I did see the Big Sick in early June on a plane. I laughed and cried, it was really good!
Due date: EDD 3/7
Any appointments? US on Thursday weird for me to have one so early with DS we didn’t have one until week 20. Also my midwife is out of town so no appointment until 8/22 so I’m not sure what that means about finding out any information on baby after the ultrasound.
Questions?: Not right now
How are you feeling?: Exhausted is still a key word here! I’m also very anxious about
going back to work not only about telling my boss/co-workers but also just about being forced to get up earlier and use my brain. I’m still emotional over silly things and nauseous most of the time.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think?
The last movie I saw in the theater was the newest avengers movie. I am just not a fan of movies like that but it was for DH birthday. Most recently we watch Brave because it was on TV I actually enjoyed it more than I did the first time I saw it. I’m not sure if it was pregnancy hormones or what but I found myself more invested this time.
Due date: 3/1
Any appointments? Next Wednesday I'll be 10w5d. I'll have my blood work done testing for genetic abnormalities. Luckily it's covered by insurance since I'm 35.
Questions?: None that I can think of at the moment.
How are you feeling?: Starting to feel better. The nausea is mostly subsiding and my energy is getting better. I still have an afternoon slump, but not all day as much as before. But working out does get me so much more winded these days.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? I-Tonya. I really enjoyed it and it actually made me have a lot of sympathy for Tonya Harding for the whole debacle because she seemingly had nothing to do with what happened to Nancy.
Due date: March 2
Any appointments? Had our second ultrasound this morning and little one looks great!
Questions?: Nope
How are you feeling?: Sick and tired but happy about seeing that little peanut move.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Sorry to Bother You. SO GOOD!!!!
Any appointments? Next Tuesday
Questions?: none
How are you feeling?: Super nauseous all day
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think?
Incredibles 2 - it was great!
Any appointments? Next Thursday.
Questions? Nope. Just excited for next appointment and for 12 weeks to be able to share the news.
How are you feeling? I have been nauseous and exhausted nonstop, but today I actually feel productive for the first time in weeks. Hopefully it holds up.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Recently re-watched Star Wars: Rogue One with my hubby. Good stuff.
Appointments: not until early October.
Questions: No
Feeling: Sick off and on, but still no puking! Hooray! I have heard maybe that means I'm having a boy because I was sicker with our daughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Movie: Mom's Night Out. It's a comedy. It was pretty funny, albeit full of the stereotypical incapable and bumbling dad, going crazy mom, and children who are absolute horrors because they haven't been trained or disciplined appropriately.
Any appointments? Monday for blood work
Questions?: I try to avoid asking to many questions at this point lol
How are you feeling?: tired so tired, nausea, body aches actually went to the er this weekend the pain got so bad I got a very expensive tylenol
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Currently watching orange is the new black not a movie but the new season is terrible
Any appointments? Not until 8/13
Questions?: Does anyone else feel like they look way more pregnant than they actually are?! It's likely just bloat but damn.... I'm surprised!
How are you feeling?: ^^Bloated!!! LOL. Otherwise, I feel good. I take daily naps and I sleep longer hours. Other than that, I have zero symptoms which is a blessing but also very scary.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? "I Feel Pretty" with Amy Schumer. It was funny! DH fell asleep and thought what he saw was "really bad".... I think it's one of those "bad-but-funny" flicks. Doesn't take much to please me, though!
EDIT - I also have the question about deli meat. I'm dying to eat it, and Listeria seems sooooo freakin far fetched!!! @bluebell08
Any appointments? Yes! First one is finally on Monday!
Questions?: I’m getting anxious. TW: I had a CP but had zero symptoms. This time around I have been sick as a dog but overall this week, while we’ve been away, it’s been manageable. I’ve been busier which helps me stay distracted and any time I am active the nausea seems better, but ugh, why do I question everything?!
How are you feeling?: anxious lol. But happy and excited. I’ll feel at peace once I hear the HB on my Doppler tomorrow.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw and what did you think? Incredibles #momlife it’s scarier than I remember (for the kids!)
