Re: PGAL check-in Sept 12-18
All milestones past and we are at 17 weeks!
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
Excited(finally!) But still nervous. Physically finally getting better. Very little nausea as of late and I am so thankful!
3. Any appointment updates?
Appointment tomorrow but we had our gender scan monday and it's a boy!!!
4. Rants/raves/questions?
We swore it was a girl and now we have a boy. What in the world will we name him!
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet?
Melons...and snap peas? Eating them every day. It's strange.
1. How far along are you? Milestones passed?
18 weeks tomorrow. For me, a huge milestone is our 20 wk ultrasound and one I am anxiously waiting for.
***TW I suffered a loss in January of this year, found out at our AS that my baby did not have a heartbeat TW END***
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
Mentally, still a little scared. I have my ups and downs, days when I’m super optimistic and others not so much. Physically, I am feeling great. I haven’t had much symptoms, which only adds to my anxiety.
3. Any appointment updates?
AS is scheduled for 9/27/18.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
I guess one symptom I am having is irritation. I am feeling so irritated lately.
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet?
None
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically? - Ok. I stopped using unisom over the weekend thinking the nausea must be gone by now, BAD idea. I’m back on it. Mentally I’m anxious to hear a heartbeat!
3. Any appointment updates? Routine OB tomorrow. Hoping to hear the heartbeat, but other than that I’ll get no more info on baby. I’ll probably get scolded for not gaining enough weight.
4. Rants/raves/questions? - It’s finally cooling down outside! Can’t wait for proper fall.
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet? - No cravings, but I have a strong aversion to fish. Makes me sad because fish is so good for the baby! Oh well.
DD born 4/1/2023
Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
17 weeks. All milestones passed
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
Mentally- OCD,and anxiety are revving up as the season change begins. At least there is a pattern I can recognize and take action.
Physically- My allergies are going into overdrive. I live in KY, allergen capitol of the universe.
3. Any appointment updates?
Went yesterday. It took THREE nurses to find the heartbeat with the doppler. It was probably only a couple minutes, but it felt like an eternity. I was a blubbering mess the remainder of the day.
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rave- After we heard the heartbeat, and I was still a mess, my mw asked me if I was willing to help sales people from ge who were in the office to demo a potential new us machine. Yay free us!
**Edited to add.**
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet?
Chocolate filled hand pies.

19w - milestones passed
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
fat, tired, but the back pain is gone
3. Any appointment updates?
AS next week
4. Rants/raves/questions?
so tired. So cranky. I love DD but feel bad about being snippy lately...she does love to push my buttons
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet?
haha since day 1. This pregnancy has been weird because they rotate. What I craved two weeks ago is not what I crave now. Right now it’s grapefruit izzie and chipotle. S’mores cereal or Chex hit the spot too.
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically? Physically, very tired. It seems like no matter how much iron I’m taking, my blood levels just won’t go up. Not sure what the next step for that even is. Mentally, anxious about this ultrasound next week.
3. Any appointment updates? Had a regular OB appt on Tuesday, nothing much to report. Level 2 ultrasound next Thursday.
4. Rants/raves/questions? DH got to the see/hear the peanut for the first time at my OB appt. I wasn’t expecting him to be there, but he surprised me by showing up at the clinic right as they were calling me back for the appt.
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet? Salt and vinegar potato chips. I want to eat them all day.
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically? Physically, pretty good, minus some hip pain that’s starting up. Mentally, a lot better now that I’m passed the anatomy scan.
3. Any appointment updates? I had a great a/s yesterday and we found out that baby is a girl! I finally feel like I can start to get excited about this baby.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing at the moment.
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet? Shreddies, so good! Fun fact, I craved mini wheats with DD.
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
Pretty good except so so tired. I miss sleeping on my back.
3. Any appointment updates? AS went pretty well besides the soft marker which essentially means nothing.
4. Rants/raves/questions? Found out I have an anterior placenta which explained why I would go so long without feeling movement. Now I feel her everyday though which is so reassuring. Also they took video during the US that they sent along with pics. It’s of her giving me a big kick and stretching. Made me fall so in love! I’ve watched it a billion times already.
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet? Mine also changes. Usually salty stuff like garlic stuffed olives or cheesy fries. The other day I had to have broccoli salad with balsamic vinaigrette. At least some of the stuff I’m craving is healthy.
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
Physically good, except for my right piriformis which is being a bitch.
Mentally I'm getting pretty anxious. I haven't felt baby move yet, and haven't even had any feelings of gas or anything of "could that be baby?". And I know this is normal, but it still makes me anxious. Plus, reading about mmc's that happened so late, around the time of the AS, also makes me so nervous. I don't have any risk factors for that and the NIPT came back normal, so it's super unlikely to happen, but that fear combined with no movements and no symptoms makes me nervous.
3. Any appointment updates? I have my monthly OB appointment on Monday, so I'm looking forward to the reassurance of hearing baby's heartbeat. My AS is in two weeks.
4. Rants/raves/questions? I went to prenatal yoga yesterday. I've never been flexible, so it was somewhat entertaining to see just how awkward I was doing the different poses. But I loved the teacher, and the poses felt so good for my IT bands and piriformis, which are always tight. I'll definitely go back next week!
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet? Not any more than I did before getting pregnant. Though I am enjoying salty foods more and sweet foods less, and before pregnancy the opposite was true.
16w6 days
2. How are you feeling, mentally and physically?
I was feeling great until I got a call from my OB a few days ago telling me that the second part of my blood work came back and showed a 1 in 77 chance of Trisomy 21 (down's syndrome). Now I am full of anxiety which I know doesn't do any good but so it goes. I guess the "good" news is that I am going in for a level 2 ultrasound (and possibly some more intense testing/amnio etc) on 9/21 (I'll be 18w) so a bit earlier than my previously scheduled AS which was supposed to be on 10/2 - I guess it is better to get answers sooner rather than have to wait. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that everything looks normal. @hannahbananas11 I haven't felt any movement either, and my symptoms are subsiding which makes me nervous, too!
3. Any appointment updates?
See above
4. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant: Why can't pregnancy be more straightforward? Ughhhh
5. GTKY: Have you had any weird cravings yet?
I'm a real carb addict and that has just intensified with pregnancy. But I have to say I am not as hungry as I was a few weeks ago and it's making me nervous!
That is so stressful. My blood work when I was expecting DD1 came back high risk. The wait for amnio seemed eternal.
>>Hopfully not creepy internet hugs to help with the stress<<
