Re: PGAL check-in week of Dec 10
2. Previous loss(es)? 3; 2 CPs, one MMC
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically a bit better, just still really tired with sore hips. Emotionally, I was starting to feel more confident, and thinking that after this week I'd feel better after having NT scan and hopefully getting NIPT later this week. Then last night, our 10 foot Christmas tree fell over, and without thinking, I caught it as it hit the ground and yanked it back up. I felt something pull in my lower abdomen, and now I'm spotting and sore this morning. Needless to say, I'm freaking the F out. Not sure whether or not to call OB, go ER, or just wait to see what happens throughout the day.
4. Any appointment updates? NT scan on the 13th.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing other than freaking out as mentioned above.
6. Any milestones coming up? I'll be 12 weeks on Thursday, which would be past my MMC date.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Hogwarts!
1. How many weeks are you? 12+1
2. Previous loss(es)? MMC at 12 weeks
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally, I’m actually feeling more confident about everything, which just makes me mad at myself because it’s been 3 weeks since my last appointment, and I don’t want to feel great about everything and be blindsided again. Physically, I still mostly feel terrible. I’m waiting for the nausea to go away any day now.
4. Any appointment updates? I’ve got one on Wednesday.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions?
6. Any milestones coming up? I’m 12+1 today, so I’m now farther along than last time. That’s been a relief, but I’m still holding out for the appointment before I officially count myself past all milestones.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? I think Narnia would be really cool.
2. Previous loss(es)? CP, early m/c, still birth at 32 weeks
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Better. My food aversions are mostly gone and I'm hungry now. Emotionally I'm ok for the moment.
4. Any appointment updates? Next appt with mfm is next Monday and appt with my OB two days later
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I wanted to use DS crib for the baby. We moved recently and now can't find the hardware. The manufacturer that originally made it is out of business. Now there's a new one that makes them but won't send parts for the ones they didn't make for safety reasons. I looked up the manual online and it lists the lengths but not the diameter of the pieces.
6. Any milestones coming up? The next u/s was when they confirmed the CDH diagnosis. Around 15 weeks. So still nervous about it.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? I just had one and lost it ugh!
@bakerstreetboys I'm so sorry for the stress! I would just call the OB. It doesn't hurt to call.
2. Previous loss(es)? MC at 9 weeks Sept ‘14
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally great, physically I have another damn cold! I get every little sniffle and cough from DD and her daycare. I gave in and took Afrin yesterday. It’s not on my MD list but I literally couldn’t breathe or swallow because I was so plugged up
4. Any appointment updates? Glucose challenge and refusal OB appointment Dec 26
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m so hungry! Omg, I can’t get enough food and today I can’t taste anything 😩
6. Any milestones coming up? Nope
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? I’m lame, I can’t think of anywhere
@bakerstreetboys I would call your OB just for peace of mind. It’s probably nothing but it’s scary none the less! Rest up today ❤️
1. How many weeks are you? 13 +6
2. Previous loss(es)? MC in May
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I am so fucking drained. I dont know if it is just work getting to me more that usual or if it is all pregnancy related but I am sooo drained. Nausea is still there but I am hoping it gets better soon. I have officially stopped taking the bonjesta, mostly because I never went to get my refill not because ms got better.
4. Any appointment updates? No Apt until Dec 27th which is about a lifetime away.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Is anyone else feeling completely and utterly drained? lol
6. Any milestones coming up? Nope.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Hogwarts. Last Feb we had a vacation scheduled to go on a cruise out of Orlando so DH, DS and I went down two days early with my brother and SIL to go to Harry Potter world. I ended up getting sick on the plane and ended up in the hospital in FL. They all went without me (I wanted them to) but when I was fully discharged from the hospital we had to rent a car and drive home missing our whole vacation. (I some how got cdiff so it was super contagious so we couldnt go and in reality I needed to be home.)
2. Previous loss(es)? One CP, one termination
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically still really good. Emotionally still on the fence. I’ll probably feel better after my appointment Wednesday.
4. Any appointment updates? None yet
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope
6. Any milestones coming up? My next appointment (if it goes well) will be my all clear from the first tri.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Definitely Hogwarts. It looks so magical.
@bakerstreetboys Thinking of you! I’d absolutely call for spotting. Take it easy today and hopefully tomorrow you’re feeling much better. ❤️
1. How many weeks are you? 14w 1d
That’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard about
you having to miss Harry Potter world. Hopefully you guys get to go again at
some point.
2. Previous loss(es)? 2 CPs, 1 MMC
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally it depends on the day. Physically, these headaches will be the death of me. Also, I’m still really tired.
4. Any appointment updates? Next appointment is 12/27
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant: My emotions have been all over the place lately. I think I cried three times over the weekend which is not like me at all. I know it’s the hormones. Yesterday I was so convinced that LO’s heart stopped (for no reason at all). I really need to get a doppler. Does anyone have a brand the recommend? Rave: SECOND TRIMESTER
6. Any milestones coming up? No
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Ugh there are so many. It’s hard to choose! Probably Rivendell or Hogwarts.
@bakerstreetboys That is so stressful! I’m so sorry that you are sore and spotting now. I would for sure call your OB and ask their advice. Hopefully everything is okay
@dntstpbelieveing My appointment isn’t until the 27th as well! SOOO FAR AWAY
DS: March 2014
DD: May 2015
BFP: 12/24/17 CP: 1/2/18 @ 4w 3d
BFP: 1/26/18 CP: 2/2/18 @ 4w 4d
BFP: 5/16/18 MMC: 6/15/18 @ 7w 5d
BFP: 9/25/18! EDD: 6/9/19 TEAM GREEN
2. Previous loss(es)? I MC 10-17
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I’m actually in pretty good shape. I got a LOT done this weekend so that feels good. We have been living in this house with 0 door knobs so I ordered all the missing bits so we can hopefully be done by Christmas. Physically I’m fine. Back to working out so feeling pretty good. Fighting off a sinus infection but that’s basically my resting state.
4. Any appointment updates? I have one Wednesday but I think it’s just the one that’s my annual. Maybe we can take a listen to baby.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Flying to Toronto later today at some point. Feeling less car sick so that’s a plus because inland in rush hour and have to go to the burbs.
6. Any milestones coming up? No. Just waiting for NIPT results and to get the sex of this nugget.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? I’ usually watching or reading tho ha that are based in reality so this isn’t an easy one. But we watched the movie downsized this week and I’d like to go and take a look at the community Matt damon moves to once he’s tiny.
@dntstpbelieveing my company rented out universal a few years ago and HP was part of it. It was open bar and one of our German customers got on the virtual reality ride after a few and yakked all over the CIO of my biggest client. I ended up having to go shopping for him and spending like $500 on a new set of clothes including shoes. Lol. Long and short- not the place to be if you’re not feeling well.
@ncm1919 oh my how embarrassing. It was definitely not an option for me to go sick, especially with a $175 price tag to get in. If I am going to go I am going to get the most out of it lol.
@eleven_ I really like the Sonoline B home Doppler. With DS and this pregnancy, I've been able to find the heartbeat before 10 weeks.
@dntstpbelieveing How disappointing to miss HP! Hopefully you get back some day
8+3
2. Previous loss(es)?
2 CP, 9 week MMC, 14 week MMC
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
Because I don't have many symptoms I can sort of forget I'm pregnant a lot of the time (I've always been good at the denial coping mechanism). But my next ultrasound is tomorrow so my anxiety is ramped up again. These weekly appointments are such a catch-22. I need to know if things are okay or not but they make me so incredibly nervous. I guess you can never really win with PGAL brain. Physically still about the same, very mild symptoms. Tired, sore boobs, constipated.
4. Any appointment updates?
Will update after tomorrow's appointment, hopefully with good news.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions?
The day of my u/s this week is the anniversary of my 1st D&C so getting bad news on that day will really fucking suck. The 14th is the due date of our baby girl (most recent loss) and my SILs baby shower is on the 15th (she's having a girl
6. Any milestones coming up?
If tomorrow's scan goes well it will put us officially past the time when baby stopped growing with the first MMC so maybe it'll ease my mind a little. Probably not though.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit?
I'm going to be lame and say Hogwarts too. I can't really think of anywhere else.

1. How many weeks are you? 15
2. Previous loss(es)? CP Apr 18
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I started having bad cramps yesterday so I left work to go home and rest/hydrate. I was freaked out so I made an appointment with my doctor this morning.
4. Any appointment updates? I feel a little dumb. Doctor says it’s just RLP and because my uterus is tilted to the left, it’s worse on the right side. But mostly relieved that baby looks fine and was kicking around in there.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m very excited to be a mom, but being pregnant is so hard!
6. Any milestones coming up? No.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Halloweentown? I’d love to be a witch.
I on the other hand decided to torture myself today and went down the rabbit hole of looking at the December bmb (the one I had joined before my MC). It was a mistake. Those ladies have lovely babies.
@dntstpbelieveing I’ve gone down that rabbit hole a few times with the Feb BMB. I haven’t seen any babies yet, but I’ve definitely looked at the bump pics. I don’t know why I do that to myself.
@carleym93 @ncm1919 @coco2787 Lots of appointments tomorrow. I hope everyone gets the reassurance they need.
@sparklingdiamond Im sorry you’re struggling today. I think we will all feel a lot better once we can feel these little babes jumping around consistently.
@dntstpbelieveing ugh yeah, I’ve done a little lurking over there too. It’s so weird to think that baby would be due this month.
12wk 5 day loss and 8 wk 1 day loss
I am up and down emotionally. I cry a lot about everything.
I am so exhausted and my head has been hurting a lot for over a week now.
Has anyone else been having headaches like crazy?
A week from today I will be at the same point of my first loss.
I would love any where real or fictional as long as it is warm and has a beach.
@bakerstreetboys I hope you are doing okay!!
the rest of you ladies. PGAL brain is the WORST!! Sometimes I just have to try to not think about it. Which is hard. Hugs to you all.
@bakerstreetboys are you feeling better?
@dntstpbelieveing I do the same thing with the February BMB. *hugs*
1. How many weeks are you? 12+5
2. Previous loss(es)? MMC in July of this year.
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
Physically I feel much better. I still throw up at least once a day. Monday was the first day where I felt like I had energy. Today, not so much. I feel a lot of bloating and other odd feelings in my pelvic area.
Emotionally I feel ok. I’ve been way more emotional and irritable lately. My anxiety has been more tolerable.
4. Any appointment updates?
Nope. No one has called me about my EKG so I guess everything is fine. My next appointment is in January.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? My coworker is letting me borrow her Doppler and I found the heartbeat tonight!!!
6. Any milestones coming up? I’m past my milestones.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? Hogwarts for sure!!
Thinking about all of the ladies with appointments today.
@antera23 That's awesome that you were able to borrow a Doppler and find the heartbeat! It's so reassuring.
@sparklingdiamond I hope you have a better day today. I have made the mistake of lurking on the BMBs from my losses too. Why do we do that?!
Thank you for asking about me...the spotting has stopped, but I'm still having really bad wrap around pain. I had that before the Christmas tree incident. My NT scan is tomorrow, so I'm just waiting anxiously for that.
@dntstpbelieveing I was also part of the December BMB and made the mistake of lurking the birth announcement thread. I'm of course grateful to be pregnant again but it still hurts to see what should have been.
@sparklingdiamond I'm sorry for the rough day, have you been able to use your doppler yet to give you some peace of mind?
@TJtheGoat I'm glad to hear baby is okay. Nothing wrong with getting things checked out to give yourself some reassurance.
@kjr9519 it's so hard not to freak out about symptom stuff. I hope everything goes well with your appointment today.

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Better on both fronts. Had my NT scan last week and got to see baby again. She is looking great in there. Nausea has almost completely gone away (though I had a bad day last week when I stopped taking unisom).
4. Any appointment updates? 14w appt. this Friday, but I don't think much happens then.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Just got back from visiting friends in Texas, which was really great-- many of my close female friends are scattered throughout the country and it's so great to spend time with the. Plus-- breakfast tacos.
6. Any milestones coming up? Passed.
7. GTKY: What fictional place would you most like to visit? I know it's cliche but it's definitely hogwarts. Compared to other fictional places (Narnia, Middle Earth, Westworld, good lord Westeros), it seems like you would just have a nice time and would likely not die?

@coco2787 I found it on the Doppler once but had trouble the couple of times I tried again after that .But I also know she's moved up and now is harder to find. I just can't wait to feel consistent movement .

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Emotionally I am hopeful as this is my last week of the first tri but I'm also feeling a little anxious as I am awaiting our NIPT results. Physically my husband and I both have colds right now which sucks! I moved to the couch in the middle of the night because he was snoring so bad.
4. Any appointment updates? Yesterday. It was the first one my hubby could make which was cool. We saw the baby on the ultrasound and it was super active in there which is weird to see because I can't feel any movements yet. Heartbeat was good. Doctor didn't measure him/her so I hope everything is on track.
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? A couple days before I found out I was pregnant, I was on vacation and took a super hot bath. I'm wondering when I'll find out if that caused any damage to the baby.
6. Any milestones coming up? NIPT results should be coming in and second tri starting this month.

I hate to bring more despair to this group, but I don't know where else to post. My OB's office called today with the NIPT results, and as soon as I heard his voice instead of his receptionist's, I knew it wasn't good. Our little baby boy tested 99% postive/high risk for Trisomy 18. While I have been living in fear of bad news, I never actually expected to really get it. I'm in shock right now and waiting to get a call scheduling an appointment with a genetic counsellor.
Oh God no. I can’t believe I’m reading this too. I am so heartbroken for you and your little boy. I wish I knew what to say to comfort you and make it better. Please let us know when the genetic counseling appointment is so we can lift you up that day.
