Re: PGAL Check-In Aug 14
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Exhausted. Sick of vomiting.
3. Any appointment updates? US next Monday to check growth,
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? The wildfire smoke is killing me - We never had this problem growing up. Stupid global warming.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one? I'm very anti PSL, but I'm not a fan of flavored/sweet coffee.DH loves them. I have bought my fall candles already and I'm using them, though.
BFP 6.8.2018 EDD 02.18.2019
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Still nauseous all the time, but I haven’t puked in a week so fingers crossed it’ll go away soon? Mentally I dunno. My NT US last week was really reassuring, but I’m still waiting for the blood results. I announced last weekend, so now I’m convinced I’ll get worrying results. Stupid brain.
3. Any appointment updates? NT US went well! Still waiting for blood results. Next appt won’t be until Sept 13th, but there won’t be a US or anything then.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want my nausea to go away. Like @kayjay44 I’m suffering in this smog blanket and it’s not helping my symptoms.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one? Y’know, I’ve never actually had one! I get flavored coffee once every blue moon. It’s not that I don’t like it, I just never feel like it. I’ve had two frappuccinos this summer which is probably a new high.
DD born 4/1/2023
Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
1. How many weeks are you? Have you passed any milestones? 15 weeks
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally, a lot better since my appointment today. Physically, I keep having a full headache and it’s really annoying.
3. Any appointment updates? Just had one today since I was having a lot of anxiety about something being wrong. But turns out everything is looking great! Next appointment is in a month, but my OB said I could schedule one sooner if I can’t wait that long.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Any tips on getting rid of headaches? Tylenol is not helping.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one? Team PSL all the way! But August is too early.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? physically fine, mentally all over the show. My mmc traumatized me a bit, I want to be excited about this pregnancy but I am just so jaded. I need to know everything is actually grown in there
3. Any appointment updates? Friday, so halfway there through the week. Nt scan, I live on an island so we are taking the car over. Good news we go see my mum and dad, bad news we can get back on the ferry without interacting with anyone.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Sick of the cold miserable weather, and all the sick people. Coworker had whooping cough last week so I had to work in another pharmacy on Friday just in case she was still contagious
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one? I have never had one, they might do them over here but I haven't been to a Starbucks in yonks. Is it like a chai?
Headache relief: using an herb or coffee grinder, grind up whole cloves. Put into a drawstring muslin pouch (I get mine at the local health food store) or just wrap in a cloth napkin. Hold near your nose and breathe slowly and deeply.
13w 2d. Last milestone was 10w4d.
Just got back from a workation at the beach. I felt amazing until last night. My genetic testing was today, so my brain decided to fixate on anything that could possibly be wrong.
I was so scared going for the is today. I was silently crying in the waiting room. When the ultrasound tech tried to chat me up, I just told her to find a heartbeat and then we could interact. They drew blood for the panorama test and we should know more in 7-10 days.
I wish I could live closer to the ocean.
I like my coffee to be coffee flavored. I do make some amazing pumpkin spice bread/cake... year-round.
BFP 6.8.2018 EDD 02.18.2019
15 weeks, milestones passed
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
trying not to let life get me down, but feeling down anyway. Can I just crawl under a rock and hide from my problems for the next few months?
3. Any appointment updates?
nope
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
DD has been fully potty trained for the past few months, but has pooped in her pants since Friday. She’s had 3 BMs, I don’t know what to do or get why she’s doing this when she know better.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I’m ready for pumpkin everything. It just doesn’t feel right when is so hot and humid.
edit: because autocorrect is more auto than correct
15+5, all passed
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
So tired but other than that ok. I cannot wait until the AS! That’s the final reassurance I need for my PGAL brain (hopefully)
3. Any appointment updates? No
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
DD is being so sweet lately. I’m really enjoying playing with and being around her. It’s making me sad that soon I won’t be able to give her nearly as much attention. But I’m excited to see how she is with her little sister.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
I love flavored coffee but I don’t drink it too often. Pumpkin spice is pretty tasty though it’s way too hot to even sound remotely appealing right now.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically I’m still having trouble with constipation and some nausea, but the worst is the almost daily headaches. Mentally, I was feeling ok until I noticed a bit of super faint brown spotting this morning. Even after good results from the NT scan and the NIPT, I am now panicking. I’m also having some pulling feeling in my lower pelvic area - hoping that’s normal?
3. Any appointment updates? 8/23 for a sono, but might get in sooner if this spotting persists.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I traveled all day yesterday to get to DC for work and it was a really stressful day. I had to actually jog between gates to make my flight. Ugh.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one? I love a good PSL, but it’s still way to hot to have one in August!
@ChloandCoco I feel you on the headaches. Nothing touches them. I’m going to try the herbal remedy suggested, thanks @episcowitch.
13 weeks 5 days. I've passed my milestone a few weeks ago.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Physically I feel a whole lot better. Nausea has been mostly gone for a week now, breast tenderness is slightly improved, and I don't feel as exhausted. I'm sorry for y'all who are still dealing with these things!
Mentally, I'm slightly anxious. I was relying on symptoms to reassure me, so now that those are gone, I don't have much to go off of. Reason isn't winning out over emotion so much these days...
3. Any appointment updates?
Nope. My next appointment is just a regular OB checkup, and that's next week Friday.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Patagonia opened their annual sale today and I miiiiight have spent a pretty penny on two down-filled coats for Baby (one for 6-12 mo, one for 2 y.o.). Supposedly they compress really nicely for car seats. Plus, Patagonia has some really fun gender-neutral colors, so I can pass them on after my kid outgrows them (or keep them for subsequent kids if we have more than one). I'm thankful for my growing belly, because I resisted purchasing anything for myself!
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
I don't drink coffee, and don't really get the hype.
14+2, yes passed them all!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Physically, tired and emotional. I'm handling the fatigue, I'm annoyed with the emotions, especially at work. My ADHD is starting to be a real issue, not sure what options exist for that.
3. Any appointment updates?
Desperately waiting for next Tuesday .
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I felt movement Monday, but nothing since then. That makes me anxious .
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
Oh yes, but way too early. I'll wait for October and temps below 80!
BFP 6.8.2018 EDD 02.18.2019
13 weeks and 2 days. Yep! Milestones passed!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Feeling awful still. Nausea is not letting up. Not vomiting but dry heaves galore. Energy is somewhat back but just dying everywhere else. Mentally I feel like I am drowning. Being on bedrest since my surgery last week has not helped. Glad I am released to work friday so maybe I can try to feel betterish. I just am worried about making it through a full shift.
3. Any appointment updates?
Tomorrow an OB appt. Not really sure what this one entails but I hope it involves hearing the heartbeat. I heard it last week but I just feel like I want to hear it again to make sure.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm sick of being sick. I feel like I finally get the hang of this preggo thing(FTM here) and then something comes out of left field. Plus, if anyone is wondering, don't get appendicitis and have to have surgery during first trimester. It messes with you mentally and add in the already present nausea makes for great times. Sleeping sitting up has helped with heart burn though. I'll also be happy when the hives go away from my allergic reaction to the fabric strips they put over my sutures. The strips are gone but the itchy itchy hives are still ever present.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
It depends on where you get it from. Never had it from starbucks but I get it everynow and then from Wegmans. And I can't wait till fall because Wegman's gets their ginger bread latte back. Hopefully by then little bean will let me have coffee again. Oh how I miss coffee
12w6 days, all milestones passed, but still nervous!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Feeling a lot better nausea-wise. Still super tired all of the time.
3. Any appointment updates?
Nothing until the beginning of September
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
My in-laws are in town for 2 weeks, I like them, but honestly having anyone stay with you for two weeks is a lot.
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
Nah, I had one once and it tasted like chemicals to me. And yes, August is far too soon to have one, it's so muggy where I am!

DD born 4/1/2023
Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
16 weeks! Yes passed all milestones
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Very sick still, lots of dizzy spells. Mentally still a lot of anxiety (I still believe this is all too good to be true)
3. Any appointment updates?
First MFM appointment Monday, I hope they do an ultrasound
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Pregnancy is a lot harder with a toddler
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
Nope, I think they are disgusting, but I do like pumpkin bread and soup
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Mentally - I experienced a sigh of relief after NT scan Monday. It was our first appt. Since 8w and was that milestone for us. I'm actually excited now and allowing my mom to buy things. I'm praying the peace lasts.
Physically - I still have some food aversions that translate to some nausea. I also have pink eye right now, so no fun.
3. Any appointment updates?
NIPT and Nt came back clear and we're having a baby girl! Next appt is September 10th at 16w.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I evidently have white coat syndrome reserved for my OB only. My BP goes up before every scan and they have to take it again before I leave. Anyone else struggle with this?
5. GTKY: Are you team pumpkin spice latte? Is August too soon to have one?
Never had pumpkin anything, but i do love fall, cooler weather and decorating!
