Piccola1988 · September 2018

Thanks for starting this @mermaidca!

1. Due date? April 24th

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? I always want to complain a little because I feel terrible, but I know I'm not alone in that! Also Quest has no weekend appointments left for my QNatal test and I'm irritated because I wanted H and DS to come with me so we could brunch away my post-blood draw queasiness, but I can't make DS sit and wait!

3. Any appointments this week? No appointments, but need to go for my prenatal screening.

4. How are you feeling? Not good at all, although I did get a few decent hours in the afternoon yesterday so I guess that's a small victory.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Does lifting my giant first born an actual million times a day count? If not, I'm not doing a damn thing other than getting out for walk every day or two.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? Eh, I mean I'll never end up watching anything when it's actually on. I'll probably catch some new stuff on demand at some point but I honestly don't even know what's coming out.

1. Due date? April 23rd

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

Managed to find the heartbeat with the Doppler! It’s so much more real now, DH and I both had an oh shit there really is a tiny person in there moment.

3. Any appointments this week? Nope

4. How are you feeling?
Blerg. Tired still. Nauseous a lot. Thrown up a bit more. Food aversions still hanging around.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Yesterday was a Pokémon event day and we walked all around a local outdoor shopping center for several hours. And it was rough, I feel like my lung capacity is still compromised from the cold I got over Labor Day. My asthma makes things extra difficult.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?
the chilling case of Sabrina- it’s on Netflix in Oct. I cannot keep up with shows for the life of me so I’ve given up trying. I just binge when they hit Netflix/Amazon. Also we don’t have cable. Lol.

mrs_nadinek · September 2018

1. Due date? Still est. 04-23

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? Almost everything makes me grouchy at this point, but I know its hormones

3. Any appointments this week? First one on Thursday!

4. How are you feeling? Nauseous

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Lifting and low-intensity cardio

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? I can't think of any...but can't wait for fall Hallmark movies!

llamamamanyc · September 2018

1. Due date? April 27th

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? Thinking it may be time to shop for clothing soon. Wearing my Bella Band for now cause my pants are all starting to get uncomfortable. Social engagements and work events have been tricky due to my not drinking and trying to cover for it. I live in NYC and everything revolves around drinking it seems: work happy hours, business lunches, etc. I’m not “out” to anyone yet other than hubs, our parents and siblings. Friends and co-workers are nosy!!

3. Any appointments this week? Just a follow up blood draw at my endocrinologist (I’ve had hypothyroidism since pre-pregnancy). I have 10wk bloodwork at the OB next week.

4. How are you feeling? Pretty good overall, minus bloating, constipation, and fatigue. My boobs are still very sore, but I’ll take that over nausea. My heart goes out to you mamas who are regularly ill.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Not much other than walking a couple miles each day. Recently got an exercise bike, so will start with that soon. Used to do yoga a lot; need to get back into the swing of things and find some good pre-natal classes.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? I’m about five years behind on tv shows! But there are a bunch of things on Netflix and Prime I have bookmarked to watch. Looking forward to hibernating this winter to binge watch a few things.

lovelybabybumpz · September 2018

1. Due date? May 4th (late bird here. originally thought it was 4/28)

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

3. Any appointments this week? Not for another two weeks. Then I'll meet with genetic counselor and high-risk OB.

4. How are you feeling? tired, shitty, blah

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? biking to work, walking around the park once or twice a day.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? Moms, otherwise I don't know what is new to be excited about.

LifeofLauren2 · September 2018

Yes @mrs_nadinek! Not so patiently waiting for Hallmark Christmas movies here!

1. Due date?

April 30. This is my first time posting. I was in the May 2019 group until my first two ultrasounds put me a week farther. 8 weeks + 6 days today.

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

Has anyone else had any type of stringy brown discharge? My doc isn’t concerned but I see it every couple of days and it concerns me. I can’t wait for Oct 15 for my next appointment.

3. Any appointments this week?

No.

I will see the nurse practitioner on October 15 as my doc is out but we will be able to hear heartbeat and do genetic testing at that appointment. Not so patiently waiting for that.

4. How are you feeling?

I feel tired. After working all day I don’t want to do anything. No cooking dinner. No playing with my 2 year old. I feel like I’m failing her a little bit.

I also get super nauseous out of nowhere. Not many people know we are pregnant so I have to try to play it off which is super difficult.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?

Exercise? Haha! I’m going to start walking when the temps drop a little bit more. We are in the Midwest and it’s still upper 80s and 90s here. Looking forward to the fall weather whenever it decides to get here.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?

I don’t think we will be adding any new shows this year. But I’m looking forward to the last season of Big Bang Theory. Can’t wait for our other shows to start back up to: Superstore, Modern Family, and Blackish.

mgnmr12 · September 2018

1. 4/24

2. I’ve noticed that sometimes my urine has white tissue looking particles in it. Not every time I go, just once every few days. FTM and just trying to go with the flow and not worry!

3. No. Next one is Oct 1! Can’t wait!

4. Sick 🤒 Nasal congestion and headaches. Between teaching, pregnancy, and being sick- I’ve hit a new level of tired.

5. I count teaching first grade as a full workout. (Yes I know, it’s not really, but holy moly I’m exhausted!)

6. This is Us and The Good Doctor!

jennb85 · September 2018

1. Due date? April 27th. We'll see if that changes with my Friday appointment.

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? I just feel terrible every day and like I'm just trying to survive every day at work. Mostly it's nausea that is ongoing and making life hard.

3. Any appointments this week? Friday for our first ultrasound! So excited!

4. How are you feeling? Terrible! Constantly nauseous or starving...sometimes both at the same time. It's so confusing, lol! I can hardly eat any breakfast in the morning or none at all, and then once I get to work I'm ravenous! Most mornings I can't even make my lunch to take to work without gagging or throwing up, even with just looking at food or the thought of it. My boobs hurt so badly and acne is popping up all over. I can't sleep through the night and have started having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I start waking up early in the 3 or 4 o'clock hour and just can't go back to sleep. My cramps have mostly stopped, but I've started noticing what must be round ligament pain? Not positive since it's my first time, but having sharp little pains in my abdominal area every now and then and figured that must be what it is. I've also been having some heart palpitations where my heart feels like it's flopping around like a fish for a couple seconds in my chest. I guess this is normal since my body's making more blood, but will get it checked out at the doctor's later this week. But regardless of all this...I'm still glad hormones are so much stronger this time around meaning things are progressing! I'm hoping the second trimester is more comfortable.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? None currently but hope to start a yoga class or something soon. I just can't bring myself to exercise right now while I feel so badly all the time even with good intentions.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? Not necessarily...I tend to wait until a whole season has finished before I binge watch it on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or HBO Go! My husband and I are currently finishing the final season of the Office! We never saw the whole show from start to finish and started it from the beginning a few months ago to finally watch the whole thing.

thatbaintforbetty · September 2018

@LifeofLauren2 It’s supposed to be 99 here on Thursday. I am so with you on being ready for fall!

izzymarie80 · September 2018

1. Due date? April 24th

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
If one more person tells me something I eat isn’t good for me I will punch them right in the eye!!! Lol The people at work figured it out and ever since have been offering unsolicited advice. This is my first but dang give me a second to catch my breath!!

3. Any appointments this week? I have an ultrasound on Wednesday. Hoping everything is ok and we have a strong heartbeat and all is well.

4. How are you feeling? still a bit nauseous, boobs still hurt, exhausted all the time, my sense of smells isn’t helping the nauseous feelings.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Just walking.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? Nope. We watch lots of Food Network and Netflix

mamakat0105 · September 2018

@LifeofLauren2 I’ve had a lot of brown stringy discharge. Originally started as spotting for 3 weeks and now just tan or brown strings. I had a scan today and my OB pretty much told me to chill out, but in a nicer way.

mamakat0105 · September 2018

1. Due date? April 29

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? It’s weird being at the end of the group this time, my previous bump group I was in the beginning. I’m almost a month behind some people and I’m not a fan.

3. Any appointments this week? We had our 9 week appt/ultrasound today.

4. How are you feeling? I feel like I was so excited about my pregnancy with DS, especially after 2 losses. I’m excited, but not dying of excitement. I’m ready to feel some kicks with this one, I think I’ll start connecting more then.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Ha. None.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? I love medical shows - total greys addict and I have no shame.

Good to hear!! Thanks.

lin0442 · September 2018

1. Due date? April 29th

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? I’m so darn cranky this week- I usually feel much more level headed. DH was coming down with a cold last night and I got grumpy at him in the morning for not sleeping on the couch (because I don’t want to get sick while pregnant). Felt like a jerk.

3. Any appointments this week? Intake phone call on Friday, then a 10wk/1st appointment next Monday.

4. How are you feeling? Irritable. Exhausted. I flew today for work and couldn’t even put my bag in the overhead bin, so embarrassing. Randomly nauseous and sooo gassy.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? I live/work in a city and walk a minimum of 3 miles a day, but other than that nothing that isn’t included in chores. I’ve had an SCH so I’m trying to let that resolve.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? I only watch tv through netflix, so I’m a little behind the times. I did just binge their new season of American Vandal, though.

chelseay416 · September 2018

@mrs_nadinek I'm with you on the hallmark movies too!!

1. Due date? 4/24

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
Finally called my ob to figure out which version of the genetic screening they offer so I can work out the cost with the company that runs it so yay!

3. Any appointments this week?
Next week on October 2nd. I still havent met my doctor. My old one that I was with through my loss earlier this year is leaving the practice so I'm with the other one now. Hopefully I'll meet her next week

4. How are you feeling?
Very nauseous and still throwing up most mornings. It fades by around 11am. Today has been the first day I had the energy and motivation to be productive during DSs nap today

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
Hahahahahahaha

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching
I have a ton that I record. I feel like I'm never gonna catch up. I like a lot of the crime shows, but also have comedies like modern family and big bang and stuff like the voice

BoshnJonnie · September 2018

1. Due date? 4/29

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
Someone commented on a random fb post about how women shouldn't be having babies when they are over 35, and I was ready to box with them.

3. Any appointments this week?
Next week on Oct 1st.. we FINALLY get to hear the heart beat, of course its going to come with the fun that is a full OB/GYN exam and bloodwork...:/

4. How are you feeling?
Nauseated when I wake up, and tired, and pregnancy brain is has hit me today. I kept forgetting things on my way to work.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
Walking the puppy and prenatal yoga when I remember to go.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching
As far as shows that are going to be current on TV, I am really looking forward to watching The Good Place on Hulu, and Brooklyn 99 if it is still going to be on Hulu. I don't know if this counts as its up right now, but I also really want to watch the new Jack Ryan series on Amazon.

booksandicecream · September 2018

1. Due date:
25 April

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
I officially have a permanent bump 😮 Even if I suck in all the way I have a buldge around my pelvis. I think I'm going to pull out my maternity clothes over the weekend. I can't believe I already need them!!

3. Any appointments this week?
Nothing until 16 October

4. How are you feeling?
Still crappy but much better! Thank you, nausea medicine!

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
Does chewing count? 😂 Actually now that the weather is warmer I'm doing more walking outside, which is good.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?
We only have Netflix. I just watched Sense8, which was good, but I'm too tired to binge watch!

kaitykins · September 2018

. Due date? 4-22

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
Im on the chubby side so I have been told to avoid weigh gain the entire first trimester and then 5lbs for the 2nd trimester. I’v held strong but they won’t know because they weighed me and put me down as 5lbs heavier than I actually am.

so now I don’t know if it will continue that skewed or if it will look like I’m loosing weight. So dumb.

3. Any appointments this week?
Next Monday

11w.

4. How are you feeling?
Nausea but I vomiting. (I rarely vomit) tired, really tender nipples and my daughter is still nursing once a day so I am reminded how bad it will be with a newborn haha.... waaa. (We areweaning fully around end of November.)

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
I went for a walk last week... probably go for more.
6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching
I don’t have cable, I Do have Hulu and Netflix and am going to have to look through and see what we have. I like the young Sheldon on cbs.com but I have to watch it on my tiny screen.

Kateriee · September 2018

1. Due date?
4/28

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

I was able to find the baby's heartbeat this morning on the home Doppler. That was pretty awesome.

DD had tubes put in her ears this morning. My hormones are out of control but I was able to keep it together during and after the procedure.

3. Any appointments this week? Thursday

4. How are you feeling?

Very hormonal. Husband might end up dead just for breathing.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?

Walking. My pelvis hurts already so I had to tone it down on the treadmill.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?

I liked the show 911 last season, but I'm busy with work and a 16 month old that I usually miss anything I'm interested in watching..

florallimeade · September 2018

1. Due date? 5-1

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? Ever since finding out, my husband has been extra sexual. Obviously I’m usually not feeling it between being tired, spotting, and feeling sick. Ugh it’s been super frustrating shooting him down all the time but I can’t even right now.

3. Any appointments this week? First appointment today but we got there and found out the doctor had to leave for the afternoon

postponed until tomorrow morning.. so even more time to take off from my brand new job. -_-

4. How are you feeling? Almost too good lately. Super tired but I just started working again after taking a month off, so that’s a big part of why. A little emotional lately, but I haven’t thrown up since last week so that’s great.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
I mean, my minds been running so there’s that

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?

inkmasters just started back up a bit ago so we’re enjoying that, I also watch RHOC. I miiiight start watching Teen Mom OG, but I’m more of a TM2 fan

kaitykins · September 2018

@florallimeade hahaha minds running. Haha mine too. training for a mental marathon.

keliser · September 2018

1. Due date? April 30

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

Vent: allergies/post nasal gunk has hit my throat... ughhhhh. I’m really trying to limit extra carbs/fake sugars but popsicles help... oh well. It’ll go away.

3. Any appointments this week? Nope

4. How are you feeling?

Sore, skipped 2wks at the gym due to nausea/fatigue and I’m paying for it now!

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?

I just went back to the gym this week, I use the elliptical, and random weight machines. I like to row, but haven’t in awhile.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? No. Don’t watch a whole lot of TV. Used to LOVE this is us, but suffered a loss shortly before Kate did and the emotion was just too much. Haven’t caught back up.

tumblefluff · September 2018

1. Due date?

4/27, maybe 5/1

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?

Nope.

3. Any appointments this week?

Nope, not until 10/11.

4. How are you feeling?

I’m not sure if it’s my prenatal but I don’t remember feeling constipated with either of my 2 kids before. Hopefully it’s just gas but it’s crazy annoying.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?

Um, walking to and from my car at work and when dropping off the kids? That counts, right? Haha!

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?

I don’t think I’ve watched any Fall Premieres in years. We binge watch shows on Netflix and Hulu. We only have cable so DH can watch his precious baseball games. Otherwise it would be gone!

alexisjoy430 · September 2018

1. Due date? April 22nd

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group? Are any of you guys starting a get a bump? This is my 2nd and I legit can’t fit into my pants anymore. I can’t tell if this is bloating or a bump. I’m a bit overweight but I’ve been consciously making sure not to gain too much just yet. In fact I’m down 3 lbs from just choosing healthier. I feel like 10w2d is early to be wearing maternity pants already. Is anyone else in the boat?

3. Any appointments this week? No appointments but I have one next week that I’m excited for.

4. How are you feeling? Not awful but I’m constantly tired (I fall asleep as soon as I put DS to bed) and I’m usually mildly nauseous. I feel for you ladies who are constantly sick. I don’t know how you do it.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing? Lifting my 40 lb toddler around all the time lol. Nothing much besides going for walks around the office.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching? This Is Us. My husband and I love this show. I used to choke up watching it. Now I’m sure I’ll cry like a giant baby 😂

Piccola1988 · September 2018

@florallimeade it might actually be a good sign that your OB had to bail! Usually when they leave in the middle of the day it's to attend a delivery, and some doctors really suck at making it to the hospital for their patients. Hopefully when you go into labor your doctor will do the same for you and you won't be stuck with a resident or on call doctor you don't know!

@alexisjoy430 it's totally possible to have a bump at 10 weeks, especially with your second - I'm 2 days behind you and I for sure do. I work from home so I live in sweats and leggings and can still make those work, but if I have to put on real clothes anytime soon I'm going to need to dig into my maternity bin.

KingElvis · September 2018

1. Due date? 4/22

2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Questions for the group?
I am having some serious anxiety regarding my ultrasound tomorrow.

3. Any appointments this week?
Second ultrasound tomorrow. **TW** Everything looked great at the 8 week ultrasound, but I'm nervous because it will be the exact point (10.4 wks) where we lost a previous pregnancy. **TW**

4. How are you feeling?
Tired, the nausea varies from day to day now instead of being constant.

5. What kind of prenatal exercise(s) are you doing?
Trying to keep up with a 4yr old.

6. It's Fall Premiere Week! Are there any new shows that you're looking forward to watching?
Not really, once DS goes to bed I tend to fall asleep as soon as I sit down on the couch!

LifeofLauren2 · September 2018

@alexisjoy430, this is our second too. I don't fit into any of my clothes. I can make some shirts work still but then I look like I'm wearing tight and too small clothes. But also, my maternity clothes are too big. I'm stuck in this place where I want to wear yoga pants and sweats because it's all that fits me right now.

*TW*
@KingElvis good luck today! I hope everything is going well in your pregnancy this time around. I actually scheduled my appointments on days that wouldn't remind me of previous losses. So my 20 week is actually 3 days later than it would have been because I didn't want to do it on the day we found out about the MMC or the day we did the D&E. Sending you good vibes!

mrstmoose · September 2018

*lurking from week 3*

@alexisjoy430 this is #2 for us (third pregnancy) and I have a bump as well.

@KingElvis deep breaths and be kind to yourself today.

KingElvis · September 2018

Thank you @LifeofLauren2 and @mrstmoose! Everything looked good today 😀

KingElvis · September 2018

@alexisjoy430 this will be #2 for us and we have the same due date - I definitely have a small bump! I don’t think that it’s obvious to strangers but people that know me and know I’m pregnant say they can tell.

HGRich · September 2018

Due date: 4/26

AW/randoms: I found baby’s hb with the Doppler on 8+4 which I was totally surprised by. But I’ve listened once every day since which has kept my sanity.

No appointments this week.

The nausea has been inconsistent. It was more consistent with DD but I don’t know right now when it’s going to strike. What has been constant is the exhaustion. I don’t remember feeling this exhausted last time. Even taking a shower requires sitting down for awhile after. Lol.

I was doing daily yoga prior to getting ku. But one of the first signs that I was prego was that I couldn’t make it through even a simple practice. So right now nothing. I’m so hoping second tri means I can pick that back up again. My body is so tight right now.

alexisjoy430 · September 2018

@Piccola1988 @LifeofLauren2, @mrstmoose, and @KingElvis thank you for making me feel like I’m not the only one. I’m in the same boat that my clothes don’t fit but my old maternity clothes don’t fit either. The pants are ok but the shirts are too baggy. Guess I’ll just have to wear yoga pants and hoodies 😊

KingElvis · September 2018

@alexisjoy430 I bought like 6 pairs of leggings from Amazon that I’m wearing with long shirts because that’s all that fits!
