Re: PGAL check-in Aug 22
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically I’m doing great, but mentally I’m having a hard time. I’ve been feeling kicks/flutters almost daily now, but the breaks in between are brutal, I keep thinking that something happened and the baby is gone. I wish I couldn’t feel anything until the baby was big enough to consistently kick.
3. Any appointment updates? Nothing for the next 3 weeks, but I might make an appointment for a heart beat check if I can’t keep it together.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Any tips on how to deal with the time in between when the baby isn’t moving?
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese? Oka, it’s a semi-soft cheese that’s manufactured in Eastern Canada.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Tired. Physically and mentally.
3. Any appointment updates? US on Monday - baby is looking good and measuring right on despite still losing weight.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? wildfires and global warming.
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese? All cheese is the only correct answer to this question.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically I feel okay. Mentally I'm psyching myself out about my appointment this Friday. At the US two weeks ago, baby wasn't moving a lot and the tech didn't say anything about whether or not the baby looked healthy. So while I assume the tech not saying much is par for the course, I'm automatically assuming the worst, of course. I'll be happy to have my appointment, hear a heartbeat, and ask the OB to give me an overview of the US (was baby on track with size? was it normal that baby wasn't moving a lot? etc).
3. Any appointment updates? See above.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? All of the new grad students arrived today at the theology school that my library is a part of. I already hate them all. They're either very chipper and extra talkative, or they're really dumb and I don't know how they were accepted (or ever graduated from undergrad). It's going to be a looooooong semester. One of them already sat down across from me on my lunch break today (uninvited) and started chatting about school. I was like LEAVE ME IN PEACE, SATAN.
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese? I agree with @kayjay44 on this one. All cheese is good. At this very moment, brie with tart apples sounds tasty.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically pretty good just tired. Mentally I’m getting more and more anxious. I haven’t felt the baby move in over a week after feeling her every other day or so. I was able to find a HB with the Doppler on Sunday but only a snippet and it sounded far away and then was gone. I’m going in for a HB check tomorrow and I’m really worried how it’s going to go.
3. Any appointment updates? Tomorrow for a HB check then regular prenatal appt Monday.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I too wish I hadn’t felt her move so early. I’d rather I’d feel it when it was going to be more consistent.
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese?
Extra sharp cheddar cheese. The sharper the better!
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? - Ugh. I'm not doubting the wellness of the baby, but the return of my nausea is taking a toll, both physically and mentally.
3. Any appointment updates? - No appts for three weeks.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? - Like I said in today's ticker change, I think I can feel baby move! It's probably crazy for being a FTM, but there has definitely been something going on in there that isn't gas.
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese? - Jumping the "all cheese" bandwagon.

Also she said the lack of movement for long could just mean the placenta has moved to the anterior, the baby has moved into a different position farther back or that the uterus has titled back when growing.
Hopefully that offers some reassurance as it did me! Also she found the HB super easy and it was strong and I haven’t felt anything in over a week. These babies already making us worry!
14 w. Passed all milestones
Physically exhausted. Mentally okay. NIPT came back low risk and it's a boy.
I go back on 9/12.
After having to leave the Sept group after being really involved has made it difficult for me to bust out of PGAL here where I feel safe.
It may be silly, but I have board engagement anxiety. I don't know how to jump in.
This is an unfair question. The answer is Yes. However, If I had to choose only one it would be chèvre with blueberries and cinnamon.
13+6 all milestones passed
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Feeling ok, I'm tentatively allowing myself it start getting excited, but it's still hard. Physically I am tired and have RLP but am otherwise ok.
3. Any appointment updates?
I had one yesterday because I was worried about discharge (turns out I have bacterial vaginosis, blergh) but the good news is everything else looks good and I got to hear the hb, always reassuring. Next one is on 9/4
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
A window literally fell out of its frame in my living room and smashed on the floor. I feel like this is a metaphor for my week...I'm really not looking forward to the start of the school year (I'm a college prof)
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese?
I agree with everyone else, ALL THE CHEESE. I really enjoy soft stinky French cheeses that we are not allowed to have right now, yum
16w4d all milestones passed
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Like I’m wearing a fat suit
3. Any appointment updates?
one more week until I get to pee in a cup again
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
My husband’s snoring is ridiculous. I slept on the lazy boy downstairs trying to get away from it. It was maybe worse because it echoed. There is no escaping it.
5. GTKY: What’s your favorite kind of cheese?
All the cheese. I’m making a Brie and peach grilled cheese before peach season is over, ruled be damned.

LIKE WHAT?! Keeping track of your own health metrics is a really good habit, and I was so annoyed at the (once again) paternalistic attitude of medicine creeping through (with a young female OB, nonetheless!). Sigh. I did say "Sure, I suppose the less data, the better, right?" because it was early in the morning and I was not in a good place to be kind just yet. I don't think she really caught the snark, though.
This is the same doctor that has gotten multiple negative reviews of her bedside manner, and she's even had some issues with frequently using forceps in delivery when they're not medically indicated. I go to a group practice, so I'm hoping and praying that she's not the one on call when I go into labor. I'd probably just choose to deliver in the car instead of dealing with her again. Sheesh.
Good thing I've loved all of the other docs so far. I think she's just a bad apple.
