Re: Group 3 Check In Week of 12/17
Due date/W+D: May 21 / 18w0d
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke / sweet potato
Any appointments? Questions?: Mid pregnancy US tomorrow!! Haven't seen our little souvenir since the dating US, so I can't wait
Rants/Raves?: I'm still not showing
FTM so that's probably why, not that anything is actually wrong, but I also haven't felt any movement so it's just nerve wracking.
How are you feeling?: Nausea is finally subsiding! Getting my appetite back.. Now not gaining too much will be the hard part.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why?
Introvert, for sure. It's not that I'm not friendly, but being around people can get so exhausting (even before the pregnancy, so it's not just that). I'd rather spend an evening on my couch with my kindle or Netflix than go out.
Due date/W+D: I say 5/16, Dr's date is 5/10. So 18+5 or 19+4.
Baby is the size of a(n): ? I forgot to look.
Any appointments? Questions?: I had an appointment today. The heart rate was a strong 164. I called to schedule my ultrasound after the doctor ordered it and they can do it today!!!! I'm so excited to find out!
Rants/Raves?: Sunday I went Christmas shopping and came home to a very clean house. Its pretty rare for DH to do housework, so I felt pretty loved. He even shampooed the carpets. Part of me wanted to feel guilty since my job is pretty much kids/homeschooling/housework, but I didn't let myself linger on it. I hadn't had the energy to keep on top of everything, so what he did was really really appreciated. (He doesn't typically do much housework, but he does all the yard work, maintenance and car repair).
How are you feeling?: still having some nausea and shortness of breath, but overall not bad.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why?
I'm an introvert, but I can be social. I just have to psych myself up for it. I'm an ISFJ if anyone is into personality types.
Due date/W+D: May 15, 18 + 6
Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet Potato
Any appointments? Questions?: I had an appointment yesterday and now I get to be seen more because of protein in my urine? Fun times.
Rants/Raves?: My husband is off work starting tomorrow until the new year. I am excited!
How are you feeling?:Constant headaches but otherwise ok.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why? I am an extrovert. I don't like being alone too long and really thrive while socializing. I am an ENFP.
@atomiccatherine I didn’t really start showing with my first until around 19-20 weeks and then I was still in the pregnant or just gaining weight awkward phase for a couple weeks after. I also didn’t notice movement until around 20-21 weeks and I wasn’t really SURE that what I was feeling was baby until like 22-23 weeks I think.
Due date/W+D: May 18, 18+4
Baby is the size of a(n): croissant
Any appointments? Questions?: Not until the end of the month.
Rants/Raves?: Taking DS in for his shots later today and I know he is going to scream bloody murder. I am not looking forward to it....
How are you feeling?: overall pretty good. I was starting to feel a bit of heartburn, but someone recommended almond milk. I’ve been drinking like a glass a day and no more heartburn. I don’t know if it is coincidence or it really works, but either way I’m afraid to stop.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why? Introvert. As an adult, I’ve thankfully grown out of a lot of my shyness and social awkwardness (although not all, haha), but I still find social situations draining. Sometimes I just need to be by myself and recharge.
Due date/W+D: 05/21 18w1d
Baby is the size of a(n): Artichoke
Any appointments? Questions?: I have an appointment tomorrow with my OB where he's going to show me he wants me to inject myself. Both he and my MFM doctor want to start me on the 17 hydroxyprogesterone shots once weekly until 34 weeks to help prevent pre-term labor and he wanted me to come in so he could show me. I guess we're combining it with my OB appointment so at least I'll get to see/hear baby too.
Rants/Raves?: Not really, surprisingly! lol
How are you feeling?: Mostly just tired. I don't sleep well because of 1) having to wake up 2+ times to pee, 2) increased freaking leg cramps multiple times a night & 3) just being uncomfortable in general.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why? I have always thought of myself as an extroverted introvert. I can "turn on" my personality and be very outgoing if I have to be, but I'd rather just be at home, reading a book by myself. I need a lot of me time to recharge, and I actually prefer being alone most of the time. But I work as a medical receptionist so it's also necessary for me to be outgoing as well, and I can be very social if I have to be.
baby is the size of a mango
no appointments until January. It feels like ages away
rants/raves? I am now on holiday until the new year and we are visiting my parents back home, so I am super relaxed and rested at the moment.
how are you feeling? Very good. Can’t complaint
i am an introvert, a mild one. I am very social but once in a while I need my space to get my energy back up. I am an INTJ
Due date/W+D: May 20 - 18+4 today
Baby is the size of a(n): artichoke or sweet potato
Any appointments? Questions?: None. Next appointment is the anatomy scan on Jan 3rd. Had to push this one because of the holidays and i was struggling to squeeze it in that week while husband thought waiting another week would work better for his schedule. I feel like it can't get here soon enough!
Rants/Raves?: Raves: My bump finally showed up last week! And last week I started feeling some movement that i now know was definitely baby! Can't wait to feel more, it is so reassuring. Rants: none at the moment, i guess i'm in a good mood before the holiday weekend.
How are you feeling?: Trouble sleeping, I can't ever get comfortable. My fitbit still says I am getting plenty of sleep but I don't feel like I am. Cedar just appeared here so my allergies have gotten bad which makes my fibromyalgia symptoms flair up - headaches, nerve pain, and general not feeling well.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why? I'm one of the weird in-betweens, but lean towards introvert. I love spending time by myself (maybe because it doesn't happen often), but sometimes when I'm alone too much I crave social interaction.
Not sure how I missed this post this week!!
Due date/W+D: may 15, 19+3
Baby is the size of a(n): mango
Any appointments? Questions?: level 2 anatomy scan dec 31 and OB appt Jan 2
Rants/Raves?: Same as @atomiccatherine - not feeling baby yet and not really showing where you can tell I am pregnant- I did start with a little extra fluff though.
How are you feeling?: just tired and nervous
GTKY: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? Why?
@fatmonica I am also an ISFJ but my I is pretty much right between E and I. @cbd5314 I feel the same way as you. Love to relax at home watching tv or reading but do sometimes crave that social interaction.
