Re: Week 1 (4/1-4/7) Check-in (w/o 8/27)
Any appointments? Who knows...insurance apparently has to set up the first appointment
Questions? Today it’s mostly about preparing for two under two - any tips?
How are you feeling? Well, last night, insomnia came in force, along with general fatigue all week. There’s low-level nausea but it’s walking a fine line between “hi! You’re pregnant!” and actually disruptive, which is very nice compared to last time!
What is your least favorite chore? Mopping, closely followed by vacuuming. Mopping gets the edge because it involves trying to wring out a mop and then using dirty water to resoak the mop and clean the floor...I’m a big fan of swiffers. Or just letting DH handle the whole thing.
Any appointments? I have one today to go over medical history and insurance stuff
Questions? None right now
How are you feeling? Feeling better than I did last week, I'm taking 1/2 pill of unisom so I'm sleeping better which has helped a lot. Nausea comes and goes still but I got some B6 candy at Target which helps.
What is your our least favorite chore? Can all of them be an option? But if I had to pick I guess the dishes because they never go away.
Due date: 4/2/19
Any appointments? Nothing until September 18th.
Questions? Nothing as of now. @lyse01 sorry I don't have any advice on 2U2. Mine are all at least 3 years apart!
How are you feeling? I'm generally ok. I wake feeling good in general but then around 2 or 3 everyday I start getting pretty sick. I'm just praying for bed by 6pm.
What is your our least favorite chore? Honestly? Just picking up. I've found that I have become SO resentful towards my family because I'm the only one who seems to pick up. It's really hard to maintain a tidy house when three other individuals never pick up after themselves.
DS-9/2012
DD-7/2015
Due Date: 4/4/18
Appointments: August 31 for a Pap smear and monthly appt. nervous about how invasive the pap will be while pregnant.
Questions? None as of now.
How owe are you feeling? I feel pretty good the first half of the day, almost don’t feel pregnant. The latter half is full of bloating, gas and small bouts of nausea. I have definitely been having more intense dreams. Pregnancy insomnia has also started.
Least favorite chore. Dishes. I don’t mind putting them away, but washing is too much at this point. Haha good thing I have an awesome spouse!
Due Date: 4/6ish
Appointments: My ultrasound and first prenatal appointments are tomorrow! I have never been more excited for an appointment. I just can't wait to hear the heartbeat and find out exactly how far along I am.
Questions? Not at the moment.
How are you feeling? Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. At this point, I'm mainly just dealing with bouts of exhaustion that hit at different parts of the day. Food aversions and nausea have been kept at bay.
Least favorite chore: Cleaning the bathroom. Just eww.
DD #1 born 6/12/14
DD #2 born 10/31/16
Due date: 4/1
Any appointments? First one this Thursday!
Questions?
How are you feeling? Yuck. Nausea and exhaustion continue, but I'm getting used to that. Pregnancy nightmares are awful. I can redirect negative thoughts when I'm awake with logic, but at night they all come out to play. I'm hoping the nightmares are temporary.
What is your least favorite chore? It's not a super regular chore, but trying to get rid of stuff we don't want anymore when we move (and we move all the time). Sell? Donate? Trash? It's just a big mess.
Any appointments? Ultrasound today
Questions?
How are you feeling? Tired. Always tired.
What is your our least favorite chore? Folding laundry
Due date: 4/1/19
Any appointments? Not until 9/7
Questions? Any recommendations for safe face wash/moisturizer? I used to use Clean and Clear but can’t anymore due to salacylic (did I spell that right?) acid in it.
How are you feeling? Same, still nauseous, tired, and my boobs hurt. I have an aversion to anything remotely good for me, especially any protein. I’m a steak and potatoes girl, and any meat makes me gag.
What is your least favorite chore? All of them, which is why I have a cleaning lady. I’m not cleaning a huge house, especially now when I can barely function!
luckily, there’s an IBCLC in the family and we’re looking for evidence today.
Due date: 4/2/2019
Any appointments? None this week. Had 8 week appt last week and things looked good. I'm getting anxious today that its 9 weeks and I haven't heard the heartbeat in a week... trying to be calm and feel confident that the tiny thing is still beating away in there...
Questions? Why is it not standard for pregnant moms to get extra sick days during the first trimester. I feel like there should be a lot more flexibility- to leave early or go in late when we feel miserable, but the expectation (even among my fellow moms at work) is that I just tough it out....
How are you feeling? Nausea is less this week than a few weeks ago, but its still there, like a low level buzzing in the background. Fatigue is intense.
What is your our least favorite chore? I concur with other ladies and vote for laundry- esp folding and putting away the laundry. Sometimes feels never ending...
Any appointments? Ultrasound on Friday. We are planning another home birth and our last came at 37 weeks and 1 day. We need to make sure we have an accurate date because my midwife only delivers babies at home that are at least 37 weeks.
Questions? Any one else planning on a home birth?
How are you feeling? nauseous and tired. I'm on the band wagon.
What is your our least favorite chore? Dishes for sure!
Any appointments? Had 8-week appointment last week and everything went perfectly. We were able to hear the heartbeat (168 beats). Best sound I ever heard in my life. Got 1st sonogram picture as well. Next appointment is 9/20 for the 12-week appointment then 9/24 for the 1st-trimester screening.
Questions? None
How are you feeling? Tired allll the time, especially after work. nauseous most of the day so I'm constantly snacking to keep it at bay.
What is your our least favorite chore? Folding laundry
@browneyes88-2 I wish! My insurance doesn’t cover births not in a hospital, which also eliminates birthing centers.
Any appointments? Had one yesterday, and got an ultrasound/heard heartbeat. According to my LMP, I'm 8 weeks 6 days today, but yesterday the FHR was 153 and baby measured to be 7 weeks 4 days. My midwife didn't seem too terribly concerned, just thinks my timing is off...I'm going to have an ultrasound in a couple of weeks with an actual ultrasound tech b/c the midwife had a hard time finding the heartbeat and wants to be sure she did things right.
Questions? Could my timing be way off? I follow NFP, so I'm certain about my LMP, and fairly certain on my ovulation day based on temperature changes and mucus observations; also, my cycles are very "normal." If we based EDD off ovulation, I would only be a few days off but not an entire week. I'm worried that my baby is not developing at a healthy rate, and I fear the worst.
How are you feeling? Nausea comes and goes, I have to be constantly grazing but not too much because that causes is too. I really hate beef right now, can't even really look at it. Tired, and breasts are still sore but less so than previously. Also, very worried for the above reasons.
What is your our least favorite chore? vacuuming--I just don't understand vacuums
Any appointments? A 12 week ultrasound and first ob appointment
Questions? Is anyone else worrying about miscarriage? I am too!
How are you feeling? Extra hungry 24/7 and very grateful to be pregnant
Currently 9 weeks, 3 days. Discovered we were expecting at 8 weeks, 3 days. :-)
