KatieJo1205 · September 2018

Due date: 3/29

Any appointments? Questions?: Not until 9/13 for NIPT and 1st trimester screening

Rants/Raves?: Rave - my FI has continued to be so helpful. He knows I am having a tough time and has stepped it up big time.

How are you feeling?: Pregnancy wise fine. No more MS. Still tired but that could be because I have an ear and sinus infection. I'm exhausted, can't stop coughing and have had a headache for a week. I've been on antibiotics for 5 days and feel like they are doing nothing.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Pink and blues

ur_mom222 · September 2018

Due date: March 25th

Any appointments? Questions?: next Thursday I have my 12 week ultrasound and full panel genetic testing. My doctor asked to do it since I’m high risk and I’m not really mad I get to see baby again and find out the sex. Hanging on to those little perks of being high risk.

Rants/Raves?: rant and rave, I’m showing twice as quick as last pregnancy and haven’t been able to hide the bump. Everyone at work knows (I’m only 11 weeks so that kinda sucks) and my clothes are starting to become uncomfortable. This didn’t happen my first pregnancy so showing is exciting but I’m afraid I’m about to have a gigantic baby lol.

How are you feeling?: wonderful! It’s worrisome but I’m mostly just sleepy sometimes and moody.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)?I like all sorts of blue and I love to wear black. Yay Halloween coming up!!!!

litzi-2 · September 2018

Due date: 3/25ish

Any appointments? Questions?: appointment on monday. waiting for harmony tests to come back. nothing else, will be a pretty useless appointment.

Rants/Raves?: @mamakeeg I'm showing more with number 2 as well. i'm still hiding it. trying, at least. luckily i wear scrubs at work. baggy ones. but out with family or friends is harder. i dont want to share for, well, as long as i can...

How are you feeling?: tired. unmotivated. less food aversions but still there. headaches slowly getting better. much less nausea and whatnot.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? i don't know. depends on the day. today i like green.

Due date: 3/25

Any appointments? Questions?: Just had a monthly appointment this morning. Waiting to see if I have a UTI, had Panorama drawn, saw peanuts arms waving around and asked about delivery options.

Rants/Raves?: Was a complete idiot this morning and told the father some stupid stuff via text. He did have it coming but I'm still mad about it.

How are you feeling?: I have ups and downs all day long!

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Purple

blueberry0326 · September 2018

Due date: March 26

Any appointments? Questions?: No more appointments until next week. Definitely feeling anxious to hear the heartbeat again. Thinking about getting a doppler but don't know if I want to spend the money...

Rants/Raves?: My husband left last week and will be gone for 2 months for work. I absolutely HATE when he is gone! He helps around the house so much and has been super helpful with anything pregnancy related (going and getting me food when I have a craving, rubbing my feet, and just being an absolute awesome husband!). Definitely already missing him and how helpful he is! Working on getting used to being by myself again and getting into a routine again.

How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise, I've been really good! My boobs still hurt like crazy and I've been super tired, but nausea and everything has been good and no morning sickness!

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Blue

kristimh80 · September 2018

Due date: March 28th

Any appointments? Questions?: Friday is my 1st appt with my OB. Bittersweet to finally graduate from my RE.

Rants/Raves?: Happy to be off progesterone & estrogen at the end of the week, but it's also scary since have been on them for so long.

How are you feeling?: Pretty good overall, no complaints.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? black (wardrobe) & blue

catlady2015 · September 2018

Due date: 3/27

Any appointments? Questions?: not till 9/24.

Rants/Raves?: started telling people. My dad came out last weekend and so we went ahead and told him and my sisters. DH’s family will find out this week.

How are you feeling?: tired. Oh so tired. Otherwise I’m doing ok. Some periodic nausea depending on when/how I eat but that seems to be waning.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Pink for sure. Also greens.

catlady2015 · September 2018

@KatieJo1205 - yuck! Sorry the antibiotics aren’t working for you. I hope things improve soon!

@violetmarie61516- don’t beat yourself up. Your emotions are valid and the father needs to get over himself. Hopefully you unloading on him will startle him into that.

@blueberry0326 - I’m sorry YH is going to be gone! 2 months is a long time. I hope you have plenty of backup while he’s gone.

purpleteacher82 · September 2018

Due date: March 24

Any appointments? Questions?: 12 week appt. is on Monday!!

Rants/Raves?: Rant - Boob pimples. Yuck! Rave - My friend is going to give me a Doppler. I’m so excited to be able to get reassurance when I need it.

How are you feeling?: Not too bad. Much the same as @catlady2015

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Purple!

keikilove · September 2018

Due date: 3.28

Any appointments? Questions?: 12-week scan & NT on 9.12, can’t wait!

Rants/Raves?: I’ve been ranting away in other threads regarding relationship & work. I will spare you all here ;-)

How are you feeling?: Had about 10 good days with minimal MS, thought I was done. Back to work today & soooo sick, running to bathroom all day, so nauseous, stomach hurts so bad. I’m thinking it’s work-stress related.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Love calming blues & greens. Black & white for wardrobe options.

m3ganmc · September 2018

Due date: 3/27

Any appointments? Questions?: 12 week appt next week. Still deciding if I want to do the blood draw for genetic testing or not

Rants/Raves?: My oldest started school yesterday...it’s strange only having one kiddo in the house during the day. She came home and was bouncing off the walls!!! I’m assuming she was shy/reserved and could finally release all of her energy at home. Hoping that balances out soon

How are you feeling?: Varies depending on the moment. Still hate food and water but am forcing both because it makes me feel better eventually. I gagged on my prenatal yesterday and couldn’t shake the need to puke but luckily it never happened

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Red orange

HoneyBear40 · September 2018

Due date: 3/29

Any appointments? Questions?: We are NINE days away from my 12 week appointment that includes my first ultrasound - I cannot wait! Took the day off work and DH is off on Friday's so it's all about us

Rants/Raves?: We were supposed to order Panera in to work yesterday and they decided to order it today instead. Except now I don't want the broccoli cheddar soup that I wanted yesterday

How are you feeling?: Pretty good overall? Still fighting some fatigue - can muster up the energy for walks but strength workouts have been a struggle and that's bothering me.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Blue - any shade of blue!

ur_mom222 · September 2018

@purpleteacher82 add me to boob pimple club. Also all down my neck and chest. I feel 16 again.

HoneyBear40 · September 2018

@purpleteacher82 & @mamakeeg I've got SO many blackheads on each side of my chin I can't even handle it

sejica · September 2018

Due date: 3/25ish

Any appointments? Questions?: Monday I get my nipt draw finally. Excited to find out the sex and nervous to find out anything else.

Rants/Raves?: rave-DH took dd1 on an errand with him so I could take a luxurious half hour bath for the first time in weeks. Rants-pretty much every one else. I'm just super grouchy at every little thing, so I blow up about little things.

How are you feeling?: mostly fine, but then all of a sudden I'll get super strong abdominal cramps and have to urgently use the bathroom, including 2 am last night. The mostly fine sometimes makes me question if everything is till okay, and the super intense cramps don't exactly allay those fears.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Slate blue (but really any blue except royal blue).

Bonnesetter27 · September 2018

Due date: March 29th

Any appointments? Questions?: Tomorrow NIPT! We won't find out the gender because we are team green.

Rants/Raves?: I am starting to feel a little better. I haven't thrown up in 2 days. This makes me worry. I am excited to see baby tomorrow. My husband is also having a hard time coming to grips with this pregnancy. He is nervous to have 3 kids. Hopefully seeing the baby tomorrow will help him too.

How are you feeling?: See above.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Blue

Sparkylove · September 2018

Due date:

March 28

Any appointments? Questions?:

Appointment on Friday and i can not wait! Question: has anyone else found baby’s heart on the Doppler around 10/11 weeks? I have to put it almost under my pelvic bone pretty much but hearing that little heartbeat makes my heart happy!

Rants/Raves?:

None this week

How are you feeling?:

Pretty good, Moody a lot hehe but that’s expected right?

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)?

Green, pink, purple... sparkle

violetmarie61516 · September 2018

@Sparkylove. I think I found the hb at 9+1 for the first time. It's definitely pretty deep but lying with my pelvis up and my head down helps to move things out of the pelvic region. I've found it four times out of five and yes, it's the best sound ever! Definitely worth every penny if anyone needs the reassurance.

violetmarie61516 · September 2018

Anyone else having a hard time getting fluids in? I'm just never thirsty and by the end of the day, I just want to sleep not drink and pee!

HoneyBear40 · September 2018

@violetmarie61516 I can get fluids but probably not ones I should be...32oz soda? Boom. Powerade? Boom. Water....eehhh.

ElleestJenn · September 2018

Due date: was march 30 but not sure now

Any appointments? Questions?: had my 1st trimester apppt on the 4th and the baby is measuring at least week further along. Hence now we are unsure if the due date So i have NT tomorrow and had my blood drawn tuesday. 2 years ago i had to wait for the 20 week scan to find out the sex, now apparently i can find out the sex with the genetic testing. Who knew

Rants/Raves?: everything annoys me. Husband most especially.

How are you feeling?: tired, unmotivated. Nausous. No appetite. This baby is kicking me in the butt, i havent actually sat down for dinner with the family for 7 weeks. Feel sick on the way to work, during work and when i get home from work. Cant wait for the second trimester.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? Blue!!

auburnvelvet86 · September 2018

Due date: 3/27

Any appointments? Questions?: Not for another couple of weeks still

Rants/Raves?: We've been WAY too busy the last couple of weeks. This pregnancy is perfectly time to have the most fatigue and nausea hit right when my busiest time of the year at work showed up and during a family reunion. I've had house guests for a week now and then too many things every evening to keep track of. And all I want to do is sleep.

How are you feeling?: As I stated above, pretty worn out at this point. My nausea has definitely NOT started receding as all of the dumb books suggest. Instead, I got to throw up at work just yesterday. I'm really really over it and ready for the second trimester to start. Between that, the fatigue, and the busy-ness, I feel pretty overwhelmed and exhausted. Hopefully things will start to calm down (both in life and physically) in the next few weeks. Of course, my MIL loves sharing how she was sick the entire pregnancy with all four of her sons. Lovely! Just what I need to hear right now!

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s)? I love red. Other than blacks and greys, it's one of my favorite colors to wear and I want to own a red car some day too!

shrub · September 2018

Due date: Mar 29

Any appointment/ Questions?: going for my genetic testing next week - blood drawn and ultrasound

Rants/Raves?: I started diclectin last night since I'm ALWAYS sick. So far, the drowsiness is far worse than nausea. Ugh. We will see.

How are you feeling?: drowsy today. Tired and nauseated every other day.

GTKY: What is your favorite color(s) BLACK
