Re: PGAL Check-In Sept 19-25
20 weeks
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I think both mentally and physically I feel drained. My pregnancy has become more complicated and high risk. I’m off work on MBR. I’m trying to mentally accept that I likely won’t ever have an easy pregnancy and that’s okay.
3. Any appointment updates?
At my most recent appointment they noted debris (sludge) in the amniotic fluid, my placenta also appears to be folded over and starting to calcify. Happened in my last pregnancy too (everything turned out okay) so hopefully this pregnancy will be too
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Not prepared for winter to come yet (go away snow!!)
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity?
I love Halloween! Can’t wait to take my daughter out

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I'm doing well today. I took the week off from this board last week because my parents were in town. I'll post in the mental health board for my mentality update. Physically I feel swollen and just slow and large.
3. Any appointment updates?
None this week
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I have been refusing to weigh myself, even though I feel like I look like a balloon. I'm currently just counting down weeks by placing milestones for myself. 20 weeks for being able to be seen by L&D is my short term one, and 24 weeks for viability is my next one.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity?
I love visiting apple orchards and pumpkin farms. Apple and pumpkin are my favorite flavors for almost everything. Not sure if this also counts, but I'm hoping to go home for Thanksgiving and go to the Auto Show. It's one of the few traditions my family did every year.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? - Good! I’m still queasy in the morning, but other than that I’m starting to feel like my normal self. Is this finally the second tri break?
3. Any appointment updates? - Heard the HB last week, and got my AS scheduled for Oct 5th!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? - I’m unusually happy today! No reason, today is just a good day.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? - I just love fall in general. My birthday is in October, and I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving!
DD born 4/1/2023
Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Tired and like garbage.
3. Any appointment updates? A/S scheduled for 10/1!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Is it February yet?
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? I love getting fall produce - either picking it or going to local stands. Making soup. Going to the pumpkin patch. Having cozy movie days in front of the fire. Fall is my favorite.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
Mentally, trying not to be overly anxious about tomorrow’s ultrasound.
*TW* DD (4yrs) has a number of medical complications that we started learning about at our anatomy scan. Her condition is due to a spontaneous genetic mutation, meaning DH and I don’t carry it, it’s just something that happened. DD’s stuff is complex, but she’s the most amazing kid and so worth it. Honestly, I’m only slightly worried about this baby having similar complications, I’m way more worried that they’ll find something we haven’t already had to deal with with DD, something unknown/worse. I feel about this ultrasound the way I feel about this intersection where I got in an accident a few years ago. I’m not really that concerned about getting in another accident there, but I still get nervous every time I have to go through it, you know? I just want to get past this point with no news. No excitement. Just a boring old ultrasound.
3. Any appointment updates?
I’ll update after tomorrow.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Lol, I think I’ve done enough ranting.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity?
I love all things Fall! It’s still a million degrees out, but I’m going to decorate this weekend, and I maaaay have been collecting pieces of a costume for DD basically since last Halloween. My favorite activity though is going to pumpkin patches/Fall festivals. I think we’re going to go visit some family out near Gettysburg soon to go apple picking and do the Fall festival thing up right!

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally pretty good. Physically so tired. DD is going through some sort of sleep regression.
3. Any appointment updates? OB check up on Monday.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby is moving like crazy daily and I love it!
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? Seeing everyone’s posts about apple picking, cooler weather and pumpkin festivals makes me so jealous! I live in Florida and we have at least over a month of hot weather left. But I am looking forward to taking DD trick or treating! I’m also debating dressing up my bump.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically?
I was out sick with some kind of mega cold on Monday and Tuesday - I think my immune system is seriously not holding up as well as usual (which I read is normal, but it still sucks). I also had to go back on antibiotics for a different infection. I appear to be on the upswing so that's good. Mentally, ever since the OB called last week to tell me that there was a higher risk for DS I have been nervous, although I am feeling calmer generally. I have a level 2 ultrasound on Friday which will take the place of my AS and we will see what happens there and whether we'll do amnio or just more blood work. @wrensnest I think I am going through similar feelings to you because we're going to a bigger hospital to do all of this *TW* the same place where I found out about my MMC and got my D&C back in February so it's just like nervous-making, even though I am optimistic things will be ok this time
3. Any appointment updates?
See above
4. Rants/Raves/Questions?
Yeah I think I have ranted enough this time around also
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity?
I'm not much of an activities person, but I do love taking long walks, and fall weather is ideal for those! Can't wait for those cooler temps.

2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Mentally I feel pretty good. Physically I just have heartburn.
3. Any appointment updates? Got to hear the heartbeat on Monday at my OB checkup! And get scolded for being a half pound over the ideal weight gain range. You win some, you lose some.
AS is next Wednesday, and I'm excited and nervous, but more excited.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I'm starting to feel baby movements! I didn't feel them until after my appt on Monday, and I think that having the OB point out with the doppler exactly where baby is located helped. Now I know the general area in my abdomen to expect movement, and I've been able to identify it.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? I love making soup! But I'm with @allthingsgo: I live in Atlanta, and we don't really get true fall weather until late October or even early November. Today, my phone said the temp outside was 100. Womp womp.
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Things are going pretty good mentally, but physically, it feels like my pelvic bones are splitting. I was really hoping the second tri bliss would last longer.
3. Any appointment updates? I had an appointment with my OB last Friday, and he told me they noticed on my a/s that I have marginal cord placement. I wasn’t bothered by it until I started googling and now I’m fairly freaked out.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? See above.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? Judge away, but I love grabbing a PSL and going for a nice walk.
@wrensnest Glad your US went well!
1. How many weeks are you? 19+5
2. How are you feeling? Mentally and physically? Physically I feel super giant and still have a lot of heartburn, but overall good. Mentally I’m just trying to take it day by day while I wait for my AS next Thursday.
3. Any appointment updates? Nothing since hearing the HB 2 weeks ago!
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I still haven’t felt baby move - or at least I don’t think I have. I felt some weird muscle spasm type twinges last week, 2 days in a row, but nothing since. I know it’s somewhat normal not to feel anything yet since I’m a FTM, but it really screws with my anxiety and PGAL brain.
5. GTKY: With fall just around the corner, what is your favorite fall activity? I’m in So AZ, so it will be at least another month and some change before we see cooler temps. But I love Halloween, pumpkin candles and leaving the windows open!
