How are you feeling? Exhausted - I took two naps a day over each weekend day. It was so nice. Food sounds terrible, and crazy dreams have started.
What is your your least favorite chore? Hmm, I guess I'm not a huge fan of folding laundry, based on the huge pile on my table. Also, going to Home Depot. The walls are too high and I can never find what I'm looking for.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!

How are you feeling? Great. Excited, mixed with a little PGAL anxiety. Boobs are killing me and my energy level fluctuates between superwoman and basically comatose. No nausea yet, but I have definitely found I have to eat smaller meals or my stomach kills me. Oh, and the gas.. allll the gas.
What is your our least favorite chore? Hands down, cleaning the bathroom. Ugh. I just hate everything about it.
Any appointments? First appointment with a midwife tomorrow!!
Questions? None yet - I'm just anxious to find out how much my insurance will cover for a birthing center vs. giving birth at the hospital.
How are you feeling? Much better this week - last week I had cramps/mild nausea, and a super annoying back ache. Now I just have sore boobs and I'm super bloated.
What is your our least favorite chore? Umm.... All of them??? Good thing I work for a living, because I would make a terrible housewife!!
Any appointments? Not yet
Questions?
How are you feeling? Exhausted, my boob are so sore. Keep going back and forth between hungry/nauseous and no appetite.
What is your our least favorite chore? Cleaning the bathroom or vacuuming. I hate that whirling sort of white noise sound. Vacuums, blow dryers, blenders. Ugh.

Due date: 4/21
Appointments: just had a pregnancy confirmation appointment. Next appointment is 9/24.
Questions: not right now
How I'm feeling: sleepy, sore boobs(they are getting huge!), my cramping has gotten a lot better, I start to feel sick if I don't eat often, waking up in the middle of the night to pee
Least favorite chore? All of them?
Any appointments? Rescheduled to next week 9/4
Questions? Not really.
How are you feeling? Fat. Last night we went to my aunt’s house whom I haven’t seen in over a year. She asked me if I was pregnant. I’m not ready to share with my extended family yet and there is no way I’m already showing so I told her no, it was just a food baby.
first appointment is sept 10.
(I typed a huge thing and it didn’t post it.)
i dislike cleaning bathrooms.
Im worried about ectopic pregnancy.
Im unsure as to when to tell our 2 and 2/3 year old daughter about this (clearly after an appointment at some point)
Any appointments? YES! This Friday!
Questions? I'm new to this country (South Africa), so I have no idea how anything is going to work and I'm feeling really anxious about that. Hopefully I'll feel better after talking to the OB.
How are you feeling? Really well. No symptoms at all except occasional minor cramping. Which is making me feel even more anxious that something is wrong. Just trying to ignore the feeling until Friday.
What is your our least favorite chore? Dishes and ironing.
DS#2 due 25 April 2019
Any appointments? This Thursday!!
Questions? Anyone else still drinking small amounts of coffee? I have about 3/4 cup each day - last pregnancy my OB said it was totally fine even with my history of loss, but I have a seen a few ladies comment on the board that they aren't drinking it anymore...
How are you feeling? I'm in denial today. This feels too good to be true, so I'm hoping my appointment on Thursday will reassure me.
What is your our least favorite chore? 110% pulling hair out of the shower drain.
Due date: April 23rd I think. My chart was a hot mess. Even the nurse said we’ll give you a definite after an US.
Any appointments?
Had my first blood draw this morning. Will have them every 2 days until I get to 2,000 HCG and then I get an US.
Questions? Nope. Good for now.
How are you feeling? Exhausted and waiting for the nausea to set in. It was horrible with my first.
What is your our least favorite chore? Laundry. So much effort to put it all away!!
Any appointments? 9/14
Questions? Nah
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I get mild random bouts of nausea throughout the day and I'm going from satisfied to starving in .02 seconds. If I don't eat something immediately, I'm dry heaving.
What is your our least favorite chore? Hand washing dishes. I hate getting my hands wet so much and I have to wear gloves every time. It's never a quick and easy task either because I don't like putting pots, pans, or tupperware in the dishwasher, so it ends up taking forever.
BFP: 1/26/20 | EDD: 9/20/20
BFP: 1/26/20 | EDD: 9/20/20
Any appointments? Dating U/S isn't until Sept 20, which seems ridiculously far off to me. First real appt is Oct 3.
Questions? Can't think of any
How are you feeling? Pretty good, overall probably better than the last couple weeks. Occasionally getting a little nausea, but it always passes fairly quickly, and no puking so far *knock on wood*
What is your our least favorite chore? Dusting for sure, I don't see that much of a change before vs after, and it's so annoying to pick up every little thing. I only dust if we're having company, otherwise it just doesn't bother me.
@thrillsmomma, I drink about a full pot of decaf every day, which is apparently equivalent to a cup of regular, so I'm still getting that caffeine too. I feel kind of guilty because I think I only had 3 cups of decaf my entire pregnancy with my son, and now I have more than that in a single day. Always something to feel mom-guilt about I guess
Any appointments? None yet, will be calling my OB this afternoon to set one up.
Questions? Nope
How are you feeling? Tired. So, so, so tired. I'm tired all day long, and then am awake from 12:30am-4:30am every night. WTF? I had HORRIBLE pregnancy insomnia with my last kid, so I planned for it with this one... but THIS early?!
What is your our least favorite chore? Laundry, for sure. Actually washing and drying clothes isn't too bad... but it's putting everything away afterwards. I tend to live out of laundry baskets lol.
Any appointments? First appointment September 18th
Questions? Just over here wondering if/when MS will kick in. I don't feel "pregnant" besides the dizziness, but that's not directly pregnancy related. Last time I didn't have MS per se, but I did have all day nausea that I combated with dry cereal. Basically I want to know when it's acceptable to start eating dry cereal all day.
How are you feeling? Tired (normal) and dizzy and lightheaded (from zoloft withdrawal)
What is your your least favorite chore? all of them? haha. anything that I think my husband should have finished...like I'll do laundry start to end. But I don't wanna fold the clothes that he left sitting in the dryer and they're now all winkled. We have cleaning people (best decision ever after having our first kid), so I don't have to deal with scrubbing toilets or cleaning the stove.
BFP: 8/20/2018 - EDD 5/4/2019
Any appointments? I had an early scan today- just saw the gestational sac and yolk sac. I had 2 losses before my boy, so my OB has been very willing to do additional testing. My HCGs looked great week, but I started spotting over the weekend. HCG yesterday was in the 5000 and my OB wanted to do a scan to make sure everything was going okay.
Questions? Nope.
How are you feeling? Anxious. Sore boobs and that it. I know I’m lucky for not being nauseous, but I also know it means your numbers are doing well.
What is your our least favorite chore? Unloading the dishwasher. I don’t mind loading, I just hate unloading.
Any appointments? Endocrinologist tomorrow (I have hypothyroidism) and first OB appt on 9/17.
Questions?
How are you feeling? Overall, pretty good, minus my incredibly sore breasts. I feel bloated off and on and have been peeing a lot, but can’t complain...yet. LOL! Worried about the inevitable nausea that hasn’t hit yet. Excited, but also a little nervous. But mostly hubs and I are just excited!
What is your our least favorite chore? Emptying the dishwasher!

Any appointments? Impatiently waiting for first u/s on 9/19.
Questions? Nope.
How are you feeling? So tired. Went back to school for teacher days this week and promptly fell asleep right after my kids every night. I can’t imagine what the tired will be like with kindergartners next week.
What is your our least favorite chore? Cleaning the bathroom

DS2014, DD2016, #3 EDD 4.27.19
Also, I will need to adjust my due date, but still don't have a former one. Baby measured 4 days behind where my Dr predicted it would. I've always been on the later side to ovulate so I'm not surprised, but bummed we still don't have a date.
At my ultrasound we saw a 5 weeks 5 day old.... yolk sack and teeny tiny line up right against it (baby). Dr said it was too small to measure, but looked exactly as she would hope for 5 weeks 5 days. So that was nice to hear.
Appointment: 9/17. Dating u/s, blood work.
Questions? Not really.
Feeling: nausea is coming and going. Getting worse. Which is good. I still have a ton of anxiety even though I’ve had a successful pregnancy since loss. I don’t know if I’ll ever enjoy pregnancy.
Sore boobs. Insomnia. Super tired.
Least favorite chore: cooking/meal planning.
DS: 11/1/2010 DD: 8/9/2012 #3: 4/2019
Any appointments? Coming up September 28th for the first ultrasound!
Questions? So many! this seems to be my first successful pregnancy after an early miscarriage in May(fingers crossed!), so I'm learning a lot along the way.
How are you feeling? Nausea has been kicking in pretty strongly in the last few days. Yesterday I had a hard time - I was trying to keep from gagging and throwing up in front of my kindergarteners all day long. How traumatic would that have been for them? Haha! Eating saltines and lots of ginger ale to combat it and had a mostly better day today. Boobs are so sore, feeling bloated, not sleeping very well despite being tired with pregnancy and beginning of the year teaching, sometimes waking up with hands swollen in the morning (is that a thing?), cramping.
What is your least favorite chore? Washing dishes. I try to use dishes that I can just put in the dishwasher if at all possible!
