Re: Group 3 Checkin (EDD July 17-24) Week of 11/12
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: I'm going by O date, so July 19, 4w + 6d
Baby is the size of a(n): A sesame seed!
Upcoming Appointments: Dec 13 first visit with my midwives
How are you feeling? Pretty good, a little fatigued, mild cramps and the occasional lightening crotch, no nausea yet. The worst thing is some neuropathy in my left leg and knee.
Rants/Raves: Rant/ I found out I have heterozygous MTHFR and that has given me more anxiety, paired with having low progesterone and low testosterone. It's forcing me to eat super healthy and really stay on top of my supplements when all I want to do is carb load. Rave/ I'm so happy to be here and I am so excited about this pregnancy and my future baby
Questions: What symptoms are everyone else having? Mine are so mild but I don't really remember how I felt at this point last time.
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? PURPLE SMOOTHIE lol
Baby is the size of a(n): Braille dot
Upcoming Appointments: 12/3 first u/s
How are you feeling? Shocked. Unprepared.
Rants/Raves: my super smelling powers are in full force. I need to deep clean my house.
Questions:
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? White Greek Yogurt
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: I'm guessing July 22nd so that puts me at 4+3
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming Appointments: dating ultrasound on Monday... I'm anxious!! I forgot how nerve wracking the first month is.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling fine! Some fatigue and light cramping but other than that I'm not even feeling pregnant. I think I remember nausea not kicking in until closer to 6 weeks with my other two.
Rants/Raves: It's snowing. That's both a rant and a rave. My 2 year old is super excited about it for the first time so it's magical to see it through his eyes. But I really don't like winter.
Questions: none
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? Lol... nude noodle
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 7/18 / 5W
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed (so crazy how small it is!)
Upcoming Appointments: not until 11/26--i had two good betas so now i just wait.
How are you feeling? i feel fine. I was getting really bloated after eating but i've reduced my food intake and that's helped. It's the classic "I wish i felt something" I'm definitely tired in the evening, but now i think it's just the cycle of going to bed early so i wake up early. my guess is i'll be regretting the wish soon when i feel all the symptoms.
Rants/Raves: After a month of PIO shots (started EOD but now daily) my butt is starting to get sore, it wasn't so bad until yesterday and today it actually hurts.
Questions: not today.
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? WhiteOatmeal (so unattractive)
Upcoming Appointments: I haven't made my first appt yet, my doctor doesn't do the first one till 8-10 weeks
How are you feeling? completely, 100% fine. Which makes me all anxious, even though this is my third kid so it's not like any of this is new
Rants/Raves: I want to feel symptoms so I have less anxiety, and then I want them to go away so I don't feel sick, lol
Questions: nothing
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? green pork chop
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming Appointments: November 30th. Feels like an eternity
How are you feeling? Physically I feel pretty normal. Mentally, I go from fine to freaked out (since our pregnancy track record sucks)
Rants/Raves: My 3 year old asked me about whether she can take of her baby sister all by herself when a baby comes out of my belly and she becomes a big sister. We definitely haven’t shared any news yet, so I’m not sure whether I should feel even more freaked out about things not working out now or if I should call this a good sign and come to terms with the fact that my 3 year old might have psychic abilities.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? Black Waffle Fries. I don’t think that one is a keeper

GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? Tan burger😂
@knittingknickers I keep forgetting about the super smell sense! I've become super paranoid about my house smelling terrible from cooking lunch the past couple days and now I wonder if it smells at all.
@ccmama3 Nude Noodle is my favorite so far, it also sounds like a favorite toddler meal
@ameliabedelia-2 I'm right there with you on wanting the symptoms for anxiety and then to promptly go away. I hope we all get them at the same time so that we can commiserate and find magical solutions to ease them right away.
@CheesyPeas It makes me feel better that so many have some form of mutation but having heterozygous was the zinger. But my mom has it too and did ok with her pregnancies, although she was a decade younger. I'm on MTHF-5, Methyl B-12 and bi-weekly B-12 1/2 dose shots for now. Otherwise just trying to keep my stress low and eat as healthy as possible.
@annewheeler2 Yay for having faster Xmas travel!
Baby is the size of a(n): Poppyseed
Upcoming Appointments: I haven't called yet since it's still early.
How are you feeling? Anxious and happy/unhappy. My hormones are everywhere. I'm happy to be pregnant, but freaking out about weight gain, the amount of work, whether or not I'll get the support I need this round. Add on the constant hunger, fatigue, sore boobs, and solo parenting, I'm a treat.
Rants/Raves: Work got called off today due to the small amount of snow slush we got, but daycare remained open so I got the whole day to myself to do chores around the house in peace and relax some.
Questions: N/A
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? Plum Chexmix

@thebabynumberone we had way more snow than expected here (PA) and it took my mom 3.5 hours when it's usually 30 minute
@bartonolivia That's a super late appointment, wow. Can you reschedule for earlier, or is that the norm for your office?

Baby is the size of a(n): appleseed
Upcoming Appointments: 12/6!
How are you feeling? Feeling okay. Coming off a cold so not sure if the low energy is due to that or baby.
Rants/Raves: My stomach. With my girls, I was constipated but this baby is the opposite. I’m going to look into some diet changes to see if it helps. I’ve recently reintroduced dairy after being off it for 18 months so I’m sure that’s contributing.
Questions: Any boy/girl inklings yet?

How are you feeling? Exhausted... I’ve pretty much been exhausted since before I got my BFP. I’ve also experienced some light nausea, especially tied to motion or if I’m running on an empty stomach. So early morning car rides before breakfast have been the worst haha! Sore boobs
Rants/Raves: Not really
Questions: Anyone else struggling to stay up past 8pm??
GTKY: What's your "stripper' name? Pink Jelly Bean 😂
@CheesyPeas children are so insightful! your DD sounds so cute!
@annewheeler2 yay for flying vs driving. I bet that feels good. 11/26 can't get here soon enough!
@knottied35540938fc784d9 have you logged into the knot to change you screen name, it helps with getting to know each other.
@bartonolivia i'm sorry you are feeling so anxious--are there any questions you have regarding your anxiety? anything we can do to help? but i'm glad you got your doctor changed.
@coco2787 i'm so glad you are here! I'm really hoping this baby sticks.
@ccmama3 i'm so sorry you had such a bad storm so early. I hope it melts.
My butt hurts so badly from PIO, i had to come and work from home so i didn't have to sit in my chair at work. this couch is much better.
@belocin I'm hoping that completely different symptoms this time around means girl, but who knows for real.
@clbean I'm fading around 8:30, so yes! It blows cause my kid goes to be between 7:30-8, so no time to myself.
@clbean Yes! I've been going to bed between 8-8:30. Last pregnancy there were definitely some 7-7:30 nights.
Anyone feeling hypoglycemic? I noticed the past couple days I'm having a really hard time. I think I need to reconsider my meals so that I don't feel so gross.
