GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?
Re: Week 4 check-in w/o 11/26
Any appointments? Questions? Anatomy scan on Thursday!!!
Rants/Raves? Just finished my oatmeal and can feel the baby kicking!!
How are you feeling? Pretty normal, I have started getting REALLY into getting everything done for Christmas. We don't have a ton to buy and I just want everything to be done as early as possible!
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Perfect- We ate at 11 (lol).My mom had to be at work at 4 and DD naps from 12-2 so 11 was the best for us. Then we all napped, put up our Christmas tree and did some shopping. Exactly as we planned!
BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
Any appointments? Questions? I have an appointment and anatomy scan coming up on December 5th. We do already know we’re having a girl, so that’s exciting.
Rants/Raves? My placenta is anterior this time around, (it was posterior for both of my previous kids,) and so I haven’t been able to feel the early flutters or movement, which has been sad. But a couple of days ago she kicked hard and I felt it!
How are you feeling? I’m having a lot of soreness around my pubic bone. I definitely had it third trimester with the other pregnancies, but not this early.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was good! Lots of food, lots of family.
Any appointments/questions: We have the anatomy scan tomorrow and I am feeling very anxious about it. We are not going to find out the sex, though I am having second thoughts about that decision.
Rants/raves: I bought a body pillow and it has changed my life! I can sleep again!
How are you feeling: I still have food aversions which is getting to be so annoying. I also still have a metallic taste in my mouth. I tried switching prenatal vitamins and that didn’t seem to solve the problem.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?: It was so nice to spend time with family and be completely lazy. I slept a ton and was pampered by my mom.
@katlarissa Hello!
Any appointments? Questions? Just got out of my anatomy scan! Next appointment with my mid-wife is 12/12.
Rants/Raves? Still haven’t felt the baby move.
How are you feeling? Good. I honestly can’t complain much beyond the rare heartburn.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Good. We went to my SIL’s for dinner. Everyone split up who was making what so I made 2 soups. I LOVE soup!
Appts: next one is anatomy scan 12/12. I’m anxious about it. It feels like it’s ages away. Also I hate that my doc scheduled it so late. I’ll be 20+5. We already know we are having a boy.
Rave: love that he’s been moving a lot more. Or that I’ve felt him more, rather. This is my favorite part of pregnancy. I didn’t feel him much last week. Also rave: my compression leggings should arrive today (maybe tomorrow because of our blizzard yesterday).
Feeling: not bad. Tired. The constipation has eased a little. Heartburn is getting worse, but still nowhere near as bad as with DD.
Thanksgiving was good. No drama, which was awesome. DD’s amazing sleep schedule is ruined from travel, so that’s been annoying. Overall it was nice to see family.
Any appointments? Questions? Anatomy scan tonight aaaaaaaaaah
Rants/Raves? It’s been so comforting feeling the baby move this past week or two. DH is telling all our friends irl, and while I’m a bit more mum about it, I’m trying to be optimistic and the movement helps a lot with that.
It feels so awkward telling people- we’re the first of most of our friends to try to have a kid, so people aren’t used to dealing with the news either. It’s kind of funny.
How are you feeling? Okay, I’ll be less nervous (hopefully) after my appointment.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Great! The food came out so good, my parents were great guests, and we’re almost done with the leftovers! The pies I made came out so good, I miss them...
@katlarissa Hi!
@midway_mouse Body pillows are so necessary!
Any appointments? Questions? Anatomy scan 12/10 still 2 weeks away
Rants/Raves? I hate winter! This last week was pretty rough weather wise. I’m not getting a lot of sleep at night but my naps have been wonderful
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Fantastic! This was our first thanksgiving at our place and we had our friends over we made calzones and it was amazing
@katlarissa Hello!
Appts: tomorrow my monthly OB checkup. Anatomy scan on the 10th.
Rants/Raves: has a great snow day home with my 5yo today. He brings me so much joy.
Thanksgiving was great. Ate too much
PCOS
BFP June 3,2012
Partial Molar Pregnancy
D&C July 12, 2012
Forced 6 month break.
BFP January 13, 2013
Appt: 12/12 Anatomy Scan, we already know it is a girl..
Rants/ Raves: I took advantage of some Black Friday specials on baby gear, big one so far was the gb Pockit+
How are you feeling? I have been feeling great with energy
GTKY: Thanksgiving was yummy & good, but it wore me out!
DD #2: BFP: 8-19-18 EDD: 4-30-19
Any appointments? Questions?: My first drama-free checkup! Not even a progesterone panel! Yay!
How are you feeling? Fantastic, because my pelvic pain is gone! @katlarissa, I was freaked out, too, but then it mysteriously resolved about two weeks ago! (Also, welcome!)
Rants/Raves: So... I'M NOT IN PAIN AND NO ONE IS THREATENING ME WITH MISCARRIAGE! WOOHOO!
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? NGL, not fun. [But edit to DD the description because the board is public and I know my mom checks these sites sometimes, LOL.]
Also, I know exactly what you mean about the family situation, except for us it’s my in-laws and my brother in law. He makes his contempt for children so so loud, and it’s like “dude, I’m right here and I’ve chosen to have 2 children. Can you please keep it to yourself?!” But at the same time I’m sure it’s genuinely annoying for him to hear his parents talk non-stop about and to the kids.
Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I have been hesitant about really joining in with a board because of the INSANE amount of drama that went down with my very first birth month board back in ‘15. But I’m giving it another chance, because it seems like the bump boards have changed for the better.
Any appointments? OB/midwife on Thursday Questions? Anatomy scan next Friday!!!
Rants/Raves? Did my first workout since my HG resolves today!!! I had to drop over 50lbs off my squats and more from my deadlifts due to de conditioning and muscle atrophy but it’s a place to start!
How are you feeling? Great, get tired quickly but I’ll take it.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Nice, relaxed, everyone behaved.
Any appointments? Questions? Had my anatomy scan yesterday. The sonographer and doctor said evwryrhubf looked normal. Baby is about 10 oz, which seems huge to me, but they both said normal, so I'm trying not to dwell.
Rants/Raves? I still havent told many people about being pregnant. My parents and DH's parents know, and work know, but that's really it. I'm having trouble being excited and so worried about something happening (had a miscarriage in May).
How are you feeling? For the most part, I feel good. Finally started working out again, mostly swimming and yoga.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Lovely, we went to Newport, RI.
BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
Any appointments? Questions? Nothing until the anatomy scan which is still weeks away...
Rants/Raves? Started my new job, finally. It's just as disorganized as I'd expected (this is what I get for working in academia?) but I'm very excited for the paycheck.
How are you feeling? Less exhausted than the past few weeks! Maybe the baby was in a growth spurt before, because now it's kicking, like ALL the time when I'm sitting still. I'm grateful to know that they're probably ok in there, but it's kinda distracting. I'm a little worried about how I'm going to survive several more months of this... Also, I'm starting to actually show now, but I just look fatter... and that feels blah. I didn't realize I cared until now, and I'm sure that I'll be able to get over it.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? Overall pretty good. My parents decided to crash our gathering with my in-laws, which made it much more stressful (at least one full on anxiety-attack meltdown ensued). But that's about the best that can be expected, and it was nice to see everyone. We escaped LA and went to Morro Bay, which was so quiet and beautiful.
Congrats to those who are feeling better recently! May it continue
(@saraleigh2 @TheSouffleGirl)
@tumblefluff Yay, RI pride! I don't live there anymore, but it's on our list of places that we'd happily move back to.
Not that I didn't just DD most of my original post because I only recently remembered that my mom stalked me all over the internet in high school and found all the message boards I was on. She also just mentioned the other day having discovered that baby is now the size of the fruit that's up this week on the Bump ticker... !!! Hi, mom? (Do any of the rest of you get these fears?)
Any appointments/questions: I had a brief OB appt this morning — got to hear baby’s heartbeat on the doppler, which is always such a relief! Follow up anatomy scan (20w) is in 2 weeks. Can’t wait to see baby girl again!
Rants/raves: I’ve been having some difficulty getting comfortable at night, and thus, not sleeping very well, even with my Snoogle pillow.
How are you feeling: I feel pretty good, mostly just tired. And my sciatica is still coming and going. OB gave me a referral for physical therapy if it persists.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?: Hectic, but fun! We drove up to my hometown (about 4 hrs north) and had a jam packed weekend — Thanksgiving dinner at my mom’s brother’s, dessert at my dad’s sister’s, and then visiting with lots of family and friends the rest of the weekend. We’ll be out in the Midwest with my husband's family for Christmas, so we tried to cram in as many visits as possible. I inherited tons of baby stuff from my brother and SIL which is awesome! My 5 y.o. niece thinks we should name the baby Elsa! (Not gonna happen!) 😂
Any appointments? Questions? Anatomy scan next week!!
Rants/Raves? Turns out the 'cold' I've been fighting off the last week is actually strep throat. Glad to have gone in for a test and finally starting to feel like there's progress.
How are you feeling? Aside from the strep pretty good.
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? I'm in Canada so it was back in October but it was good! However I've never heard of "green bean casserole" that everyone's talking about- it's got me curious
ETA- strep throat not strep threat. Guess it's technically a bit of a threat lol
April 27
Any appointments? Questions?
2 weeks until my anatomy scan and I am sooo impatient! I've been pretty chill so far, but for some reason I am obsessed with this scan. I seriously considered calling and asking if I can do it early.
Rants/Raves?
I'm definitely feeling the baby move, which is wonderful. I can't wait until DH can feel it!
I'm getting pretty tired of only fitting into one pair of pants. I finally ordered some maternity clothes, so I'm really looking forward to that.
How are you feeling?
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving?Very few symptoms, although I'll randomly feel out of breath. I wore my super comfy heels to work yesterday and realized the cute shoes ship has sailed. Felt like Maria Von Trapp climbing every mountain whenever I walked across the room. Also pregnancy brain...I actually posted this in week 1 by accident lol. They're a nice group
Super low key, which was nice. Just DH, my sister, and me. I made a ridiculous vegetarian feast. There are still left overs in the fridge...probably time to throw those out.
Any appointments? Questions? Had one yesterday. Saw fingers and toes, heartbeat and wiggles. Finally heard the heartbeat on the doppler!
Rants/Raves? Haven’t been around much. Been dealing with a bunch of stupid stuff that happens in life. Also the preggie rage is real.
How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Not sure if I feel baby moving or it’s gas bubbles lol this is my first so I dunno what’s happening. So sniffly and sneezy too!
GTKY: How was your Thanksgiving? It was ok. Ate early with DH and FIL. Went to my aunt and uncles but DH had to work so I was solo. Kinda ticked that my sister and her mom didn’t invite me but they had her brothers over. Oh well.
