3. Any appointment updates? Had blood work done today to check my progesterone, it’s still looking good so that’s a sigh of relief. Don’t see my OB til next week though so it’ll be a lot of patience and waiting.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone have any experience with Diclegis? Just got put on it to help with my extreme “morning” sickness.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? HOGWARTS! Or anywhere in the Harry Potter universe!

3. Any appointment updates?

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant - I hate the question section. Sh*t gets lost. Question - is anyone else who is taking Zofran having it make their nausea worse?

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
ooooh, maybe the beach scene in the second Narnia movie.

3rdtime_charmed · August 2018

@mschanandlerbong1214 Yes! Hog warts!!! I'm on the two meds separately and they have been working great but it makes me pretty groggy

@BuckeyeNut05 zofran worked for me but made my constipation way worse which made everything worse...

editted for typos

lelkcot · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 8+5, passed both

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically I’m tried, nauseous and grumpy. Mentally I’m vacillating between anxious and hopeful.

3. Any appointment updates? First appointment is Friday, so very ready.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: I’m really struggling with the nausea and getting sick- it’s miserable and I’ve been totally whiny/grumpy about it. Rave: DH has been awesome picking up my slack with the house & DS. So grateful for him.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? Hogwarts!!!!!

catlady2015 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 7 weeks today! And kind of- had an ultrasound Monday where they saw baby, last time I didn’t see anything in there so while I haven’t hit the date where that happened, I feel much better for having seen bean.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Just awful. So tired all the time and the smells are really starting to bug me. Going to one of our favorite burger places made me feel so sick I couldn’t eat there.

3. Any appointment updates? Next appt is 8/27 for another u/s and the nurse visit/health history, blood work, etc.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Has anyone else had verbal diarrhea? I accidentally called my trainer babe this week and he was understandably taken aback. It didn’t even register that I’d done it until later and feel awful about it. Wondering if I can expect this to happen more or if this was just me being stupid and tired with no energy for my filter.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? Hogwarts, hands down!

3rdtime_charmed · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
7w6d, yes, all of them.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
super tired but unable to sleep because now I’m rethinking my whole life with twins in the picture. Pretty gaggy, but I survived work was sort of functional today.

3. Any appointment updates?
Surprise twins on US yesterday, perfect in every way.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I’m not going to meet the physical demands of my job with twins in the third trimester

5. A fictional place? Fantasia from The Neverending Story

editted because my post got cut off

purpleteacher82 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 7 weeks 3 days - Milestone will hopefully be passed next week at my US.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Not too bad overall. I had some nausea this morning, but considering I only seem to be having it about once a week, I am not complaining. Mentally, getting a little anxious about the US next week. Especially when I see other members of M19 say their goodbyes. It brings back feelings from my previous loss and I start to worry more.

3. Any appointment updates? Nope

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I feel like I thought of a rant the other day and now I can’t remember it. Story of my preggo life!

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? This is a hard one, but since I am reading the Outlander books I will Lallybroch.

Edit: Typo

purpleteacher82 · August 2018

@kristimh80 @LElkCot FX for good ultrasounds this week!

kristimh80 · August 2018

@purpleteacher82 Thank you!!

I get your "preggo brain"! I'll be thinking of something and totally forget in no time what I was supposed to be doing. Tonight I almost went to cook something for dinner, even though DH just told me he was grilling something for us 5 minutes before lol

Yeah. This has me freaking out a little too.

lelkcot · August 2018

@mschanandlerbong1214 and @purpleteacher82 ya, that definitely has me worried too, especially since I’m getting my u/s this week.
ETA words are hard...

purpleteacher82 · August 2018

@mschanandlerbong1214 @LElkCot I’m glad I am not the only one feeling this way! I almost felt bad typing that out. I don’t want make their loss about me, but when I read those I can’t help but worry that it will be me getting the same news next week. PGAL is a strange beast.

Runninggal28 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?

8.3. Sort of officially passed both milestones. (Second was around this time)

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?

Depends on the day. Some days I’m completely exhausted but today I felt good.

3. Any appointment updates?

yes, finally had an ultrasound yesterday and everything is measuring right on track! HB 181.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?

None I can think of.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?

Hogwarts

3rdtime_charmed · August 2018

@mschanandlerbong1214 @LElkCot @purpleteacher82
PGAL brain is hard. Sending internet hugs.
I hope that as everything progresses you can feel better! I realized today that I’ve stopped checking for bleeding during every bathroom break. Of course my twin blump is huge and I’m sick all day but there are moments where I think I’m acting more like a normal pregnant person.

char245 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
9 weeks 2 days. Passed most milestones, today was the day we found out about my mmc, so I won’t feel great until I get to see the baby again.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? I have my ups and downs on both. With my DD I felt way worse physically which makes me super nervous all the time!

3. Any appointment updates?
Next appointment is a week from today, just seems like a VERY long wait!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Just wish I wasn’t so anxious all the time.
5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? I’ve been trying to come up with an answer to this and can’t think of anything.

southerngirlinwi · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
9w4d today. And I have 3 days until my milestone when I found out about the blighted ovum at the first US, but I got to see my little blobbie on US yesterday!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Physically: still mildly nauseous, but mostly just really tired. I feel like no matter how much sleep I get, I need more. Hoping to get to sleep in this weekend. Mentally: relieved. Seeing blobbie on US yesterday and having a healthy heartbeat has done wonders for my anxiety. I'm still nervous, but feeling a lot better.
3. Any appointment updates?
First US yesterday and everything went well. First OB in a week.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave: my husband has been a saint handling all of the cooking and most of the cleaning since my super smell/nausea has been keeping me from being able to help out.
5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
Hobbiton, post-War of the Ring, from Lord of the Rings

lelkcot · August 2018

Ladies, my u/s is in two hours. Really trying not to panic...

mschanandlerbong1214 · August 2018

@lelkcot fx for a great scan!!!

batmama31 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
6 weeks, 5 days. no milestones yet.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
mentally, I've been super moody and especially snappy, but I think it's more due to bs at work. physically, I feel not pregnant

3. Any appointment updates?
FINALLY got scheduled for my first appointment on 8/24. crazy nervous, and hoping it was sooner.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
nope

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
I can't think of a response to this. I read dystopian fiction, and my favorite shows are either horrific fantasy (game of thrones) or post-apocalyptic. none of those stories take place in very desirable locations.

beachbaby0523 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 7w6d. No milestones until after my first US on 8/20. If my prior pregnancy was viable, I’d be due any day now. Pretty crazy to think about.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally, ok with absolutely no motivation at work; also, slightly reassured given my recent symptoms. Physically, depends on the day. Nausea has developed from simply feeling off to dry heaving, etc. - hoping that’s a good sign.

3. Any appointment updates? None until Monday, 8/20

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant - my parents left yesterday after visiting for a week. As much as I love seeing them, my DH and I are so happy to have our (cozy 1100 sq ft) house back. It was SO tough keeping this secret and hiding my symptoms from them! Rave - so looking forward to our trip to Greece in Sept.! Hoping all goes well on 8/20 so our vacay will be filled with happiness and celebration.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? Can’t think of anything specific. Anywhere with a beach and crystal blue water.

@kristimh80 @LElkCot Sending you positive vibes for your USs!

char245 · August 2018

@lelkcot sending you all the positive vibes! Keep us posted!

southerngirlinwi · August 2018

@lelkcot FX crossed for a great scan!

lelkcot · August 2018

You ladies are the best, thank you for all the good wishes. We had a great scan and lo is measuring right on track with a good hr 174!!! I’m SO relieved!

mschanandlerbong1214 · August 2018

@lelkcot yay!!!

diaphena · August 2018

@lelkcot Yay!! I was hoping you'd come back with a good update! So happy for you.

char245 · August 2018

@lelkcot awesome news!!

3rdtime_charmed · August 2018

@lelkcot So wonderful, yay!!

Lbloom · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 12 weeks some days. My milestone is week 39. I get to worry more in the 3rd tri.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Still dragging tired in the afternoon. I have to get a handle on my housework after DD goes back to school!

3. Any appointment updates? At my appt/ultrasound on Monday, baby looks great, but measuring big and they moved my due date to end of Feb. I'm sticking around here though.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Damn, I wish I could go to Greece!

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? I'd love to visit Hogwarts but I don't want to be a Muggle!

bdesterhouse · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
Posting a few hours early... I am 10 weeks, passed a six week milestone. Next up is 16 weeks, and then 32 weeks.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I feel pretty good. Mentally I’m doing better than expected. Physically I’m still okay. My back hurts, but that’s nothing new even before pregnancy.
3. Any appointment updates?
I have an appointment Tuesday with my OB. I’ll be getting monitored more closely this time due to my previous losses.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I can’t think of any.
5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
This is a hard one. So many places. Some are semi real, but I’m not real movies. The places they show in Scotland in the series Outlander, but in the 1700’s timeframe. I’d love to witness how things truly were then in person.

Kenneylynn3 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
Today 9w1d. Passed 2 out of 3 milestones.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Mentally: Anxious. My ultrasound went well, but I moved the next day and during the move I had light spotting. It was very brief, but I'm not set up with an OB in my new area yet. Physically: All my symptoms are still there and kicking my ass. Thankful for every one of them.
3. Any appointment updates?
No 12 week appt yet.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
No
5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
I'm in the Hogwarts/ Harry Potter club!

brookepdavis · August 2018

I've been totally MIA while I was out of town at a conference last week. Finally back in the swing of things. Glad to see so many good scans and good news!

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
11w3d. All milestones passed.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Physically I'm okay most of the time. The bloating is still uncomfortable, but I'm wearing my belly band today for the first time and hoping that helps with the uncomfortable feeling later in the day. Mentally I was getting really anxious leading up to my appointment this morning. Every appointment that comes up I get so overwhelmed and anxious and start assuming the worst.

3. Any appointment updates?
Had my 12 week appointment today (early because my OB is on vacation and this is the only time the other doc I like could see me) and everything looks great! I got to see the little arms and legs wiggling around. I wasn't sure I would get another ultrasound at this appointment or just the doppler, but I'm so glad I got to actually see everything. This doctor was the one who did my D&C in April, so I thinks she was doing everything she could to make me feel comfortable.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
It's starting to feel more real now that I'm nearing the end of the first trimester. I don't know that I will ever feel out of the woods until I'm holding my baby in my arms, but I'm definitely less anxious than I've been up to this point. I've been super nervous to tell anyone at work because I assumed the worst would happen, but I think I'm ready to tell people now, mostly because I'm super uncomfortable and really want to move into maternity clothes, but then it will be obvious. At what point did you tell (or do you plan on telling) your work?

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
I can't think of anything specific. Somewhere warm on the water with a breeze.

bdesterhouse · August 2018

@brookepdavis I am ten weeks one day, and have only told my boss. My husband at first wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret as long as possible. He told me this weekend that he thinks he's ready for us to start telling people so it is up to me if we do. I am waiting to talk to my doctor and get her thoughts tomorrow. If my appointment goes well then I think I will slowly tell people. I'm due the day after my moms birthday, so I would love to do something fun to tell my mom.

3rdtime_charmed · August 2018

@brookepdavis I think it really depends. I initially told everyone that i would be comfortable knowing if I had a loss. The changes in my body and my MS have been hard (twins) to hide so I’m pretty much in the open now a lot earlier than I thought I would be. It’s felt good to just act like I know that everything will be ok!!

kristimh80 · August 2018

@brookepdavis I've already told my boss and close gfs at work, but that's all the work people that know. But my boss didn't tell her boss or any of us until she was at least 5 months ago. She's lucky and was super skinny before, so could hide it well! Not sure how close you are with your boss, etc, so do what feels right in timing. I agree what was just said, it's nice and feels good to have it out in the open. Plus, no one will second guess or ask questions if you need to run to a doctor's appointment during the day

pink_mango · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
8+1, we’re 5 days past the miscarriage I had last spring.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I’m very nervous right now. Last night I had a little spotting and it honestly freaked me out.

3. Any appointment updates?
The midwife scheduled me for an u/s tomorrow afternoon.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I’m really tired with how paranoid I’ve become.

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
Whistle Stop Cafe in Fried Green Tomatoes

Shelbyville30 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 10 weeks 4 days. All three.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? physically... still pretty tired and spotty nausea. mentally, after my US today, MUCH BETTER! I had one passing moment last week... There’s a friend of mine from N15 that just posted/announced her pregnancy at 9 weeks. Part of me was just a little sad that while I’m excited, I’m cautious.. and just don’t have the “luxury” of sharing so early. I don’t know if that sounds weird!!!

3. Any appointment updates? Had an US today and all looks great! Doc even showed me in 3D and printed a gazillion pics so that was super sweet. Docs office also gave me a pregnancy journal as a congrats gift.

4. Rants/Raves/Questions?

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to? I’m digging all of the HP posts! That would be super fun!

I think it’s called the Kingdom of Stormhold... in the movie Stardust. Chillin at the market for a day would be a trip.

Mango... yes to Fried Green Tomatoes!!!! Such a good movie. I’ve seen it countless times. Sorry I didn’t tag you right. I suck at it.

beachbaby0523 · August 2018

@brookepdavis @Shelbyville30 yay for the great U/Ss and doc visits!!

Shelbyville30 · August 2018

@beachbaby0523 Thank you!!

cdub4292 · August 2018

1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones?
11 weeks today! No milestones, just glad to have had my ultrasound & everything looks good. We go back beginning of sept.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
still feeling physically exhausted. So much work to do and not enough time. Mentally things are getting better w anxiety. Just experiencing lots of mood swings.
3. Any appointment updates?
nothing until sept.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
our power went out last night, just as I was gettingg to the good part of my show. I finally felt like maybe I could make it through the whole episode & the power goes out

5. GTKY- What fictional place would you most like to go to?
hmmm this is a tough one. I’m really not sure.
