Current Cravings? Nothing. In fact, food doesn't seem all that appetizing as of late. It's not that I'm nauseous or averted to eating something specific. I just don't want to eat. I have to make myself.

chelseay416 · August 2018

nalyshad · August 2018

Due date April 21st
No appointments yet which leads me to my question:
A new hospital is opening near me soon but they don't have a list of the Drs/midwives that will be delivering there yet. Should I go ahead and see another Dr for now and switch when I am able to find out who will be at the new hospital? Or is it okay to wait until I can find out? Also how long is it okay to wait before first appointment? This is my first so I have no idea what I'm doing yet and we haven't told my parents I'm pregnant yet so I can't ask my mom...
I'm feeling pretty good, lots of cramps, really tired but overall pretty normal.
Current cravings: sweets! Ice cream, donuts, cookies, you name it!

thatbaintforbetty · August 2018

@nalyshad I got whatever doc was on call the night I came in. I didn’t have a regular OB, I had a perinatal specialist and I don’t know if that changes things. I also delivered at a teaching hospital. But I don’t know anyone who had their doc present at delivery unless by some good luck their doc was on call/working l&d the night they came in. Honestly you see the doc for so little during actual labor that I was totally cool with it, I also happened to really like the doc I ended up with. I would tell you that the nurses are arguably a much bigger part of your labor experience then the doc.

Obviously pick a doc you like and feel comfortable with because you will see them a lot and they will be your point person for an questions or issues.

This would alao be be something you would want to talk to your doc about. Also don’t be scared to call and office and ask questions, like I said you will see them a lot and it important to be informed. Any office who doesn’t take the time to answer you probably don’t want anyway.

nalyshad · August 2018

@thatbaintforbetty thank you! I will have to talk to some offices and see what they suggest. I want to have my first appointment soon but I don't want to end up switching Drs a bunch of times.

thatbaintforbetty · August 2018

@nalyshad don’t be afraid to switch docs if you end up not liking them. My specialist made me cry at like 10 weeks because of something she said and because I was high risk I was kinda stuck. She was a great specialist but her bedside manner could have used some work.

Thankfully because I was at a teaching hospital I was seen by rotating docs doing specialty training in perinatology. Everything was overseen by the head specialist but most of my appointments I saw one of like 5 or so. There were definitely some I liked more then others. But it really taught me the value of actually liking who your OB was.

kosmo86 · August 2018

@nalyshad I would go get a doctor now you can always switch later but prenatal care is important! Is the difference in drive between the old and new hospital substantial? Some hospitals have better dedicated wings for maternity while others do not. To me a 'New' hospital isn't always better.

klmcguire · August 2018

Well I am out ladies. I started bleeding yesterday and after labs I am back to the TTGP board. Wishing you all the best!

whats0nemore · August 2018

@klmcguire i’m sorry to hear this. Take care.

thatbaintforbetty · August 2018

I'm so sorry @klmcguire.

cabearit · August 2018

So sorry @klmcguire

thrillsmomma · August 2018

I'm sorry for your loss @klmcguire

Due date:
April 23 (I assume this will change slightly after my first appointment)

Any appointments?
August 30th. I'm scheduled for a transvaginal US with my fertility specialist to see how this pregnancy is progressing. 8 days to go!

Questions?
None so far!

How are you feeling?
Cautiously optimistic. *TW* My HCG level is at 427 as of yesterday, which is still low but higher than with previous miscarriages. END TW*

Current Cravings?
Parmesan cheese. And red wine, but I'm suppressing that one.

Looking forward to getting to know each of you!

keliser · August 2018

I hope this is the right weekly board for me!

Due date: 4/29

Any appointments? u/s 9/4

Questions? Not yet!!

How are you feeling? Few waves of nausea and tired!

Current Cravings? I bought a bunch of yogurt today... and made a ton of fajitas for meal prep before work this weekend.

mrsdee15 · August 2018

I think this is the right check-in area for me also.
Due date: 4/29

Any appointments? Intake call with OB/GYN 8/31, and first ultrasound appointment with a nurse practitioner 9/28. Feels so far away!

Questions? Any advice for going Team Green through the entire pregnancy? DH wants to know, but I really don't. Also, any VBAC experiences? DD was a c-section (breech).

How are you feeling? So freaking tired. Went to bed at 8 last night, and slept until 6. I still feel like I could sleep for a year. Also, dull cramps and the grossest taste in my mouth.

Current Cravings? Not really. I never got cravings with my first, just aversions. Haven't had many stomach issues yet.

JNR6510 · August 2018

Due date: April 29

Any appointments? First appointment is 9/2

Questions? Not right now

How are you feeling? Very nauseous. Super excited about our surprise BFP so quickly after our loss on Father’s Day, but also struggling with anxiety and what ifs.

Current Cravings? Only aversions right now. Most smells just make me need to throw up. I hope that doesn’t last very long.

nalyshad · August 2018

@kosmo86 the new hospital will be under 10 minutes away, the other one is about 25 minutes away. The new hospital has what they are calling "home birth" rooms that are designed for those who lean toward a home birth. I really don't like hospitals but DH pretty much insists on a hospital birth so I feel like this is a great option for us. I've decided I'm going to go ahead and make an appointment with another Dr until I can find out what Drs/midwives will be at the new hospital.

Megz1902 · August 2018

Due date: 4/29 (Hi due date buddies! Looks like several of us on 4/29)

Any appointments? First appointment 9/17, around 8 weeks. Not sure what to expect, as I will be with a different group of midwives and a different hospital than last time.

Questions? Not yet.

How are you feeling? Mostly tired. A bit crampy.

Current Cravings? Nothing really sounds good to me, even though I haven't been nauseous, yet.

@mrsdee15 I am also hoping for a VBAC

robyn2201 · August 2018

Due date: 04/25 but both my babies were born two weeks early.

Any appointments? I haven’t called yet. Should probably get on it. I guess I feel no rush because my office doesn’t normally see you until either 9-11 weeks for your first appointment anyways. Long time to wait!

Questions? Nope

How are you feeling? Exhausted, sore boobs, feel like there is a rock in my stomach all day and nothing sounds good. Constantly burping. At least I’m not feeling like throwing up yet!

Current Cravings?nothing sounds good at all.

I’m trying not to think about it!! I was told if I had another that I need to come in RIGHT away, literally as soon as contractions start or my water breaks. Don’t want to have this LO in the car on the way to the hospital!

So no taking our time and DH isn’t allowed to travel for work either. He almost missed DD2’s birth because she same so quickly.

irshdancr5500 · August 2018

Due date: Not sure... but I'm pretty sure it'll be Apr week 4. I got pregnant first cycle after removing my IUD.

Any appointments? None scheduled yet, they wanted to see my hcg levels before scheduling since I'm not really sure. They acted like they would get my EDD from that, but when I google, it sounds like that wouldn't be very precise. Anyone else heard of doing this?

Questions? So now that I have the hcg data points, anyone know what it means? Haha, can I figure out my EDD before my doctor calls me (probably Monday at this point)?

How are you feeling? Pretty good, had a few moments of lightheadedness and nausea, but they're rare for now.

Current Cravings? Any food anyone around me has! I could smell someone walking by with chicken tenders and ketchup, and I almost tackled him for his food!

JNR6510 · August 2018

***TW***

Well, doctor just confirmed; I’m out. This makes our 9th MC. I’m just numb. I was so hopeful things would work out this time around.

***end TW

I hope you ladies all have sticky, healthy, and uneventful pregnancies, labors, and perfectly wonderful babies!

Megz1902 · August 2018

@JNR6510 I'm so sorry.

robyn2201 · August 2018

@JNR6510 I’m so sorry!

irshdancr5500 · August 2018

@JNR6510 I am so very sorry for your losses

thatbaintforbetty · August 2018

I’m so sorry @JNR6510

florallimeade · August 2018

Due date: 4/25

Any appointments? Sept 25th!

Questions? Am I crazy for having all the gender neutral items needed already added to a registry?

How are you feeling? Lately I’m so grumpy about looking up everything and if it’s safe! I’ve had neck pain for a few months and usually do ibuprofen and icy hot. Of course no ibuprofen, and icy hot is a no too. I ended up using YL’s deep relief to find out it’s possibly not safe too -____-

Current Cravings? All the carbs. Especially cheddar bites. I eat keto but it’s been difficult to stay on track!
