BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Aug 4th 6+2

Baby is the size of a(n): lady bug

Upcoming Appointments: registration with new midwife tomorrow (changed offices to be close to home instead of close to work since most appointments will be in the summer when I'm off work and don't want to commute if I don't have to!)
No u/s or heart beat checks until a/s

How are you feeling?: pretty good in general. More lethargic and "off" than normal, but I haven't thrown up yet.
*tw previous loss mentioned in spoiler*

My first pregnancy ended in spontaneous loss on 6+2, but baby had stopped growing before that. I will still feel better the further i get from that!

Rants/Raves: we are telling our parents this weekend. Looking forward to it

Questions: not now

GTKY: I'll answer both parts
toy = life like baby doll. I made clothes for her, named her, and basically treated her like a real baby until I was like 10 years old lol.
Activity: neighbourhood games of man hunt and kick the can. All the kids ages 3-13 would play together until the porch lights came on. It was a great street to grow up on

EDD: Aug. 5th

6 weeks, 1 day

Baby is the size of a sweet pea

First OB/GYN = Jan. 4th, First U/S = Jan 8th. I'm super anxious for both visits and if I could bump them up, I would!

I'm feeling like a hyperemotional blob. Mood swings are the new norm, none of my old clothes fit right, and my boobs are still pretty tender.

Rants/Raves: It's finals week and I hate everything.

I'm kind of scared by the fact that I haven't really had serious bouts of morning sickness, just occasional nausea. I haven't been nauseous since Friday---should I be scared?

I loved playing out in the woods when I was younger. I grew up in a very rural area, so it was quiet, and it always seemed like there was something new to discover.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 6w+4d edited to add: EDD 8/2

Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry

Upcoming Appointments: Today! Ultrasound at 1:30pm FX that everything is A-Okay because I am still spotting on and off.

How are you feeling?: nauseas so bad. Someone was just telling me a story about how they had 3 glasses of wine.. and omg the thought of warm red wine just makes my tummy turn right now.

Rants/Raves: Started my door decorating contest for work! I am in love with it so far

Pics to come.

Questions:

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I had a stuffed dog I named dog-dog. Carried it e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. I lost lost it a few times and it always made its way back home, shockingly.

BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

@deecherise try not to worry! Symptoms come and go

olivemomma · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: new EDD of 8/5 so 6+1 l. although there is no way I will make it to August now I’m still going to hang with you ladies!

Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet Peas

Upcoming Appointments: US yesterday and a repeat scan next Friday as baby B was measuring a little behind baby A. First meeting with my OB next Tuesday.

How are you feeling?: honestly, I’m a bit all over the place right now. physically I’m pretty good but yesterday really took me for a mental roller coaster ride. I went in fully expecting to see no heartbeat so to find two really rocked my world. At the end of the day I know it’s a wonderful blessing but I’m scared of getting the 3 of us safely through this pregnancy. We really debated for a while if we should go for a third as we felt very happy with the 2 kids we already had and knew number 3 would be it for us if it happened. I think it is just going to take me a while to wrap my mind around it all.

Rants/Raves: if the follow up US goes well we are going to break the news to our immediate families on Christmas - they are going to die!!

Questions: Any twin mommas out there??

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I had this little brown bear I took everywhere with me, he’s even in our professional family photos from when I was little. I still have him and have gifted him to my oldest daughter who could really care less about him 🤨

BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

@olivemomma wow, I saw on the US thread your surprise! I hope the repeat U/S shows healthy growing babies

I think it's normal for twins to be a bit "off" from each other - one implants before the other, later on they'll have different metabolisms and growth rates, etc. This is speculation, I'm not a twin mom.

We get no u/s until the A/S, so even if I had twins this time, I wouldn't know until 18 weeks, I guess :P

Dumb question: What does a/s mean?

BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

ah, not dumb at all....I've just been on the bump solidly (daily? haha) since 2015 so the acronymns are second nature to me

A/S = anatomy scan (or anomaly scan depending on where you are....the "big one" at 18-20 weeks where they check the organs and stuff)

u/s is regular ultrasound in case anyone was wondering, though I think that slang is more common since most people get more u/s in general than the one specific a/s.

drmrsthecounselor · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: The calculators say August 3rd, but I'll see my CNM tomorrow to get a more accurate date

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea!

Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow (12/12) I see my CNM for the first time since my BFP. Not totally sure what to expect since it's so early, but we'll see! Then I see my endocrinologist on 12/17

How are you feeling?: Off and on okay. Constipated and gassy, on and off nauseous. I'll be starving, order food, and then it arrives and I feel like I can't eat a bit.

Rants/Raves: I have lost 3 lbs since my positive. I have been stuck at a certain weight for the past 2 years and it hasn't budged and of course as soon as I get pregnant I get nauseous so my weight drops. I am pretty overweight so I'm sure it won't be an issue, but it's just frustrating!! Lol

Questions: I am still not sure exactly what I can/can't take as far as meds go. Like I have read that certain ones are fine to take, some you should avoid, and then I've read to not take anything first trimester. I have had to take Dramamine because I was traveling last weekend and now I'm conflicted on whether that was a good idea... and I don't want to stop using my acne wash (otc neutrogena) just because it has salicylic acid because its basically the only thing keeping my skin from freaking out...all stuff to bring up at my appt tomorrow, better start making a list!

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I really loved reading as a kid. I am finally at a place in life where I can read more now, but I literally went everywhere with a book. I got in trouble once for trying to pack more books than clothes for a vacation!

database6 · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/5 based on lmp. I will end up delivering sometime in July though, my MFM doctor won’t let me go to full term even if don’t have any complications.

Baby is the size of a(n): dried corn kernel

Upcoming Appointments: 12/20 for an ultrasound and then I see the doctor. I can’t wait!!

How are you feeling?: not great at all. Nauseas, gassy, and so so tired. Feeling bloated too and very emotional.

Rants/Raves: if the US goes well we are going to tell our families 12/20 at dinner that night. We already have one planned because DD has a Christmas play that afternoon, so we thought having both sides of the family there would be great.

Questions: I have all the questions really, I don’t even know. I guess right now I’m scared that I won’t love this baby as much as DD. I know you do, but I can’t imagine it right now. Is tht normal?

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I loved this bear and blanket that I had. No idea where it is now, I wish I did.

mkrel · December 2018

@olivemomma Congratulations!!! I can't even imagine how shocked you must have been.
@drmrsthecounselor my OB has a list of pregnancy safe meds on their website. There are actually quite a few things that you can take, but it may be worth a call to your OB's office to see if they have a list that they can give you to reference throughout pregnancy.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: EDD 8/5

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea

Upcoming Appointments: Tuesday 12/18

How are you feeling?: The exhaustion has hit, and I'm feeling queasy often. Mentally I'm just anxious and hoping everything looks good when we go for the first ultrasound on Tuesday. I am kicking myself for pushing it back from this coming Friday, but with my daughter we went a little too early and they couldn't find her and thought she was a blighted ovum, so I wanted to make sure we were far enough along this time!

Rants/Raves: Nothing I can think of

Questions: Nope

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I loved going to amusement parks and beach vacations.

Kickball, manhunt/playing outside with all the neighborhood kids. I tell my 17 year old sister that when I would get in trouble, my punishment would be not being allowed outside to play! So very different from today lol

cfoz · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: aug 4/ 6+2

Baby is the size of a(n): pea

Upcoming Appointments: Friday for an US. I’ve had two losses so I’m getting in early to check everything out

How are you feeling?: ok. Super congested and some back pain. I’m also sooo thirsty all the time. Yesterday I drank over 100 oz of water.

Rants/Raves: not pregnancy related, but this week my husband finally learned out to load the dishwasher correctly! 😂😂😂

Questions: none so far.

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I loved those old school logic puzzles with the grid you had to fill in. Man those were good times!

littlestbear03 · December 2018

I feel like I keep straddling the July/August board. LMP puts me at EDD 7/31 Ovulation blood tests farther back around 8/5. I have had to be induced early for my first two so most likely will have a July baby but the August board is calling me more.

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Aug 5- 6+1

Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea

Upcoming Appointments: Thursday we have a dating u/s(yay!) and then 12/17 first appt with my OB

How are you feeling?: Really good, so far this early pregnancy has reminded me of my sons pregnancy. With my daughter I was pretty sick.

Rants/Raves: I had planned on telling my husband about the pregnancy tomorrow on our 10 yr anniversary but broke down and told him tonight. He’s so excited, but already complaining on not being able to call his family and tell people yet. Come on man!

Questions: none

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I had a brown teddy that went with me EVERYWHERE, he was even lost for 5 months at the local Dairy Queen, but my brothers girfirend started working there and saw him in the freezer(where they had been keeping him) and got him back to me. I gave him to my son who could care less about him.

aevan011 · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: EDD 8/2, so 6w4d

Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

Upcoming Appointments: 12/21. Will be the dating scan and initial appt.

How are you feeling?: Tired...though that might be just bc 2yr old doesn’t sleep either. Waves of nausea. Moody, as evidenced by stupid argument with DH.

Rants/Raves: Wanted to wait to announce but because DH’s fam is visiting for Christmas, we will have to tell them. I’m living in Germany and it’d be way too obvious with me passing on beer and mulled wine at Christmas markets.

Love having them visit but this will be the second time I’ve had to announce early due to them being in town.

Questions: Nope

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? I read a lot as a kid. I liked camping with my dad.

BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

@littlestbear03 I'm also a July/august straddler. I actually lied about my lmp date to my midwife to make it line up with my ovulation due date bc I was taping and know ovulation is more accurate lol. I think I'm settling more in here because I was in the last 1/4 of my last bmb so to be on the last day of the month in July wasn't really appealing to me lol. #pettyreasons

cmessamore · December 2018

newmamakt · December 2018

Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: August 5th 6 w + 5 days

Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea 💕

Upcoming Appointments: my first appointment isn’t until January 9th. I’m jealous of all these earlier appointments!

How are you feeling?: yesterday the nausea took a turn for the worse and I threw up at work. Just got done throwing up tonight and I’m exhausted.

Rants/Raves: my sister in law put me on the spot and asked if we were sharing any exciting news soon so pretty sure my MIL told her about the pregnancy 🙄

Questions: Is anyone else having lower back pain?

GTKY: favourite childhood toy or activity? My blanket was my favorite thing in the whole world. And like a few other of you ladies I loved reading! I still try to read as often as I can. Nothing beats a good book!

cfoz · December 2018

@newmamakt I’ve been having lower back pain for weeks... Woof

I’m a big reader too!! This weekend while I wasn’t feeling too hot that’s all I did.

cmessamore · December 2018
