Re: Week 3 Check in W/O 10/29
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I'm already feeling kind of large and uncomfortable and it's just the beginning of belly growth. I know I will be laughing at myself for this in about 20w.
3. Questions for the group? Anyone feeling movement yet?
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? I like to stay in on Halloween. We took DD trick or treating on Friday, and we usually spend Halloween passing out candy and watching Halloween-y things all cuddled up.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Indigestion is the pits. But I think I'm mainly done with nausea and I seem to have a LITTLE more energy this week!
3. Questions for the group? Nah.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? Taking DS to BILs house so he can ToT with his cousins. I'll sit and pass out candy with some hot cider.
@wildcosmiclove - NO and I'm so bummed. I want to so bad. But I'm pretty sure I have anterior placenta again so it probably won't be for another month or so.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? ditto to you both @wildcosmiclove & @mrdcle ; I feel huge and uncomfortable already, but at least I seem to be done puking every five minutes. I got on a Pepcid prescription for the heartburn, it was too much. I think I've been feeling movement for a week now, but it could be random muscle spasms, or gas that I somehow incorrectly identified, etc. Who knows, and I'm a FTM with a supposed anterior placenta. *shrug*
3. Questions for the group? Nope
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? I bought candy to give out to trick or treaters but I think my neighborhood is doing a trunk or treat this year. I don't have the details on it and I'm not planning on going since it's a work night for me. Kinda bummed but hoping I'll still get some door-knockers; we live in a pretty big neighborhood so I'd hope I didn't buy all this candy for nothing!
DD born: 3/31/19
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? None really. My energy is slowly coming back as is my tolerance for food... so no complaints!
3. Questions for the group? None today!
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? My daughter's day care is doing a whole trunk or treat event. I'm taking a half day to be class mom, which means helping all the infants get in their costumes and just go around to look at the cars. I'm inordinately excited about it!
@wildcosmiclove I think I have been feeling some movement in the last week or so! It's subtle and sporadic (like, once every few days), but I'm pretty sure it's this LO swimming around in there. This is about a month earlier than I really started to feel my daughter, so I'm excited!
1. How far along are you this week? 15w6d
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I am super bummed that none of my previous maternity clothes fit. I guess they lasted for two pregnancies and are pretty worn but now I have to get a whole new wardrobe for my final pregnancy. Kind of seems like a waste. I'm pretty much switched over to exclusively maternity now and my wardrobe is pretty limited. Time to go shopping, I guess.
3. Questions for the group? None right now.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? We will take the kiddos ToT-ing around the neighborhood. I will probably cut out early and let DH take them the rest of the night. Not like they need any more candy though. We went to "Boo at the Zoo" on Friday and DS's birthday was last night. We are well stocked on candy at the moment!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Happy for renewed energy, even went to a club on Saturday (though did have to leave at 11pm since my legs were killing me). And cleaning out closets. Still very little progress on the home improvements though.
3. Questions for the group? Anyone else experiencing body image issues over their new large and uncomfortable selves? I've never become a whole new shape before. None of my pants fit anymore, so I'm wearing my mom's which are too long and a little baggy so I roll the bottoms up and look like a teenage boy. My new bras that I just bought last month don't fit. Tell me I'm not the only one with weird feelings about their new shape.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? The club had Halloween night with a costume contest, all kind of lame but sweet and we had a good time dancing (or as in my case, some dancing, some standing around being jealous of everyone else's ability to drink alcohol). Other than that, we'll be staying home, working, watching TV, and handing out candy to our 4 trick-or-treaters.
@wildcosmiclove Yes! The movement kind of surprised me. First time was at 13w, next at 13.5w. But nothing since then. It was in the mornings when I'd stayed in bed, a little kick at the left side.
I *think* I'm feeling some movement. Little squirms and pokes in there every now & then. It's definitely not a regular thing, maybe a handful of times over the past week.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Nothing to report
3. Questions for the group?STM- did you find it easier going from 1-2 kids rather than 0-1? A bit worried about the transition. They will be 22 months apart.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week?trunk or treat with our local mom group tomorrow, dr appt on Wednesday morning, trick or treating in the afternoon and a playdate thursday. Busy week!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I’m such a giant pregnant person. I promise I look the same as all my friends do at 40 weeks when I’m 15 weeks. I don’t really mind except that I have so much extra skin and belly that doesn’t go away like theirs does post partum. Crazy cause I was such a tiny person before kids
On a happy note, I had my elective ultrasound last week and we are having our 3rd girl!!! House full of ladies and I’m so excited. It was a really fun experience as usual.
3. Questions for the group? Nope
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? Trick or treating with friends. We did most of the other Halloween celebrations this past weekend.
@wildcosmiclove I’ve been feeling movement since 12 weeks. DH was actually able to feel it the same time I did at first. Which is crazy cause every other time it took him forever to feel. This is my 3rd baby though. It’s like popcorn in my belly before bed usually lol.
15w 2d
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week?
Had gender ultrasound today, it’s a BOY! We are so excited and blessed to have one of each. Also, still feeling nauseous what the heck! ☹️
3. Questions for the group?
@MRDCle
Did you have your AS today?!
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week?
The weather is super nice today, so we may do Boo at the zoo tonight. Otherwise, nope just handing out candy.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I haven’t felt baby move anymore but I’m not freaking out yet because 16w is still early to feel movement. I’m starting to get nauseous again which is really irritating especially since the migraines haven’t gone away.
3. Questions for the group?
anyone a scientist that can figure out a way men can carry babies? I’m down for a 50/50 split. I’ll take the last twenty weeks and he can have the first 20.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? Just taking DD trick or treating.
1. How far along are you this week? 15 + 6
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Woke up in the middle of the night with a mouth full of stomach acid. That was new and unpleasant. Hoping it was last night’s dinner, and not a common occurrence.
3. Questions for the group? Nope
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? Bought some candy so I hope we get a few trick or treaters
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I woke up yesterday with a pinched nerve in my neck. Luckily, I can at least move my neck today.
3. Questions for the group? TMI question: Anyone else experiencing an increase in discharge already? I remember this happening in third tri with my first but not this early!
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? ToT with DD to like, 5 houses and then passing out candy.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I’m wearing my first maternity dress of the pregnancy and feeling a bit self conscious about it.
3. Questions for the group? Nope
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week?
trunk or treating at my husband’s work tonight - we weren’t planning to go, but it’s supposed to rain and we want to make sure the 4 year old gets plenty of Halloween fun. And tomorrow trick or treating with friends, assuming the weather holds... we will see
@wildcosmiclove yes to movement! I started feeling a few little bubbles about a week ago, and now it’s getting distinct and more frequent. I’m 15 weeks and 4 days. I felt movement really early with my first too though, so I knew what to look for.
@mrstmoose ugh yes. The discharge situation is so gross.
@sheepshepherdess I have major body image issues at the moment, and I did with my first during this same phase of pregnancy. I didn’t mind later in pregnancy when my belly was huge - because then I really looked pregnant. It’s this small bump stage that I hate the most because clothes don’t fit properly and I constantly feel uncomfortable and aware of my shape - aware that people are wondering if I’m pregnant or just have a belly, that kind of thing. I’m not sure if it will get better for you, but at least for me, I feel more confident once I look more visibly pregnant.
@harveyisaboysname That's so scary, I really hope the neurologist can tell you what's going on. It also doesn't sound like fun to have constant migraines.
+1, keep us posted @harveyisaboysname!
DD born: 3/31/19
@wildcosmiclove yup I started feeling movement at 13w which shocked me because with my DD I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel anything until 22w
@sheepshepherdess ugh yes u feel so big and ugly and awkward
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week?
I hate feeling exhausted all the time. There is so much to do and get done, not to mention trying to keep up with my 4yo.
3. Questions for the group?
Anyone dealing with hormonal rage? I'm not an angry person but I feel so angry all the time lately
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week?
Just trck or treating. Halloween is not a big deal to me
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? MorningAll-day sickness has returned, and it's worse than it was during the first trimester. I had a few weeks of feeling normal, but I've been nauseous for a week straight now.
3. Questions for the group? I don't know what to ask at this point.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week? DD's daycare class had a trick or treating trip to a local extended care home and she woke up at 4:30 am because she was SO EXCITED to dress up. Then last night we went trick or treating down our street and came back to hand out candy. No other plans. But now that November is here I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas.
@booksandlace Yes to the hormonal rage. I've always been a pretty chill, laid back person but lately I can't keep my cool and have zero tolerance for stupidity.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week?
Just trying to figure out parental leave plans this week. Since we work in different countries (Sweden and Denmark) + the fact that we're having twins it's a bit tricky how the days will get split etc, but it does seem like we will get to stay home together for the fist bit which will be a relief (not sure how to manage breastfeeding two babies without having someone there to help me).
3. Questions for the group?
Nothing specific at the moment.
4. Any fun Halloween plans this week?
We made a pumpkin themed pregnancy reveal yesterday, and it's fun to get everyone's commments!
We wrote: "Trick or treat? I guess we'll find out in April!" and posted a photo of us as two large carved pumpkins and the babies as two screaming carved persimmons.
@sheepshepherdess I also find this new shape of mine quite weird. I would love to have more of a round belly, but it feels like I'm growing sideways instead
