People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
Re: PAIF Check-In w/o 1/5
Any symptoms? Just slightly sore boobs
Rant/Rave? Rant: not ready to go back to work tomorrow. I think my couch will miss me.
Next appointment? Another ultrasound on Wednesday
GTKY: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? The Greatest Showman. I love the music!
Any symptoms? Sore boobs, bouts of morning sickness coming and going, and peeing all the time!!
Rant/Rave? It is tough staying in the mindset of being excited and not feeling overwhelmed by the journey that got us here and some complications. I had spotting Thursday, so I called off work Friday and went in to RE office. We found out both embryos that were transferred (fresh IVF), implanted. One failed to progress. One fighter is holding on strong and has a heart rate of 123! They also found some bruising. They have told me to maintain pelvic rest, and make sure I take it easy, as I have a threatened miscarriage. The other embreyo attached by my cervix, so I may have more spotting they said, along with from the bruising. Also makes me nervous measuring behind. They didn’t seem worried about that though. I knew going in pregnancy isn’t easy (second time mom, daughter is 10.) I just wonder at what point I’ll let myself be fully excited and stop worrying!
Next appointment? Around Jan. 18th, next ultrasound
GTKY: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Cinderella I’m still in love with all Cinderella themed movies.
Any symptoms? nausea and a lot of fatigue
Rant/Rave? I'm still kinda bitter that my RE's office said my first US would be at 6 1/2 weeks but I'm going to be 7w 2d. I thought IF was a lot of hurry up and wait but pregnancy seems to be the same way! I'm just not good at waiting.
Next appointment? Wed 01/09
@telda715 Very sorry for your loss. It's hard not worry. How you feel is okay.
@celticknotfire What is your reason for wanting to see a MFM? I have Multiple Sclerosis but I don't plan to see one unless I end up having any complications.
How far along are you? 8 weeks
Any symptoms? Meh, not really. Still the usual mild nausea if I don't eat. General discomfort.
Rant/Rave? Made some rolled oats on the stove with brown sugar. Added blueberries and some fat free milk and a side of banana. Yum!
Next appointment? u/s tomorrow.
GTKY: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? That's a tough one. I do love The Little Mermaid. I really cannot pick one.

@telda715 I'm so sorry for your loss. Happy to hear you have a fighter in there.
@celticknotfire I'll join the bitter party with you. I'll be 7+5 at my first u/s. I don't have any plans to see MFM at this point, but I know sometimes my OB will refer her IF/AMA pts for just an initial visit.
@suzycupcake GL tomorrow! hope things continue to go well.
How far along are you? 7+4
Any symptoms? some nausea if I don't eat, I'm tired all the time, these last few weeks I haven't been sleeping as well as I usually do and that just throws everything off
Rant/Rave? I've had several people IRL say they can't believe that I've had to wait this long for the u/s w/my RE. the more I hear it the more bitter i become. My anxiety is sky high right now, I'm doing my best to just focus on here and now.
Next appointment? first u/s tomorrow and it can't come soon enough
GTKY: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? this is such a hard question. it would have to be a comedy. I love a good drama, but if it is only one forever then it will have to be something that will make me laugh. We can all use a little extra joy sometimes. I'm just not sure I can narrow that down to one movie right now.

@Avrilmai my first RE would not do an US before 8 weeks unless you were having an issue.
@celticknotfire I know its hard to wait that extra week, the upside is you can see so much more on the US. As for MFM I think its what you feel comfortable with. Being AMA is not a reason in and of itself to see MFM. So for your other health stuff you could just see her as long as she is OK with that or maybe see an OB/MW with periodic consultations with MFM... I did MFM with my twins but midwife only (did not see MFM at all with my last pregnancy) and unless something comes up I will just go with a MW again this time.
@suzycupcake sorry you have to wait one more day for your US. I swear the wait for that first US is worse than the TWW.
How far along are you? 8+5
Any symptoms? lots of nausea, food aversions and fatigue oh and the bloat at night... so much bloat
Rant/Rave? TW** I am rapidly reaching my loss milestone and I'm trying not to worry but its almost 3 more weeks till my next US which will feel like forever to make sure this little one is still going OK.
Next appointment? not till the end of the month

I go back Jan. 22nd for my next ultrasound. I’m shocked so many of your RE’s are waiting so long as well. What negative effect does it have in them? US are usually pretty quick!
I’m currently only seeing my RE. Those of you that have already been in contact with your OB did you do that independently, or did your RE’s recommend contacting an OB?
Wondering if if I should wait to be “graduated”, which won’t be until T2 at this point, or call them up now.
How far along are you? 8w4d
Any symptoms? Nada
Rant/Rave? Only thing to b@tch about is all of this [expletive] rain ... PLEASE STOP.
Next appointment? RE on 14th for final U/S; OB appt on 1/30 for MaterniT21 testing.

@celticknotfire - I have already had my OB appt. They prefer to be engaged around 8 weeks AND that meant, I only have to go about 2 weeks between my final RE and then 2 weeks before my second OB appt, instead of a month after a 10 wk appt. It's hard for me to wean off that see-doctors-all-the-time schedule. My OB is having me go to MFM, though, for my 16-wk scan. I'm sure that if everything looks good and I'm measuring OK, he'll feel comfortable keeping me within his practice. I mean, it's only my body that's old, right? (the egg & sperm for the embie were "harvested" when we were each 32)
@wabash15 - Hopefully that date comes and goes without much fanfare. I'm hoping, wishing, and praying for you.
AFM, just nervously moving along and taking my meds. Next RE appt is Monday and I'm terrified we'll see that Survivor will have stopped growing, too. When both had taken, I actually had preggo symptoms (mostly moodiness) so there was comfort in that ... but now that we're down to one, there's nada. Even my stomach that had partially popped has un-popped and become kinda soft again So just doing what I can to get through the next few days so that I'm not a huge ball of nerves because that doesn't do anyone any good. I hate that there's no way to know until next week ... even a doppler wouldn't pick anything up if I had one. Sigh.
BTW - I'm super pumped that there are so many AMA ladies in here. I feel it will be a huge blessing to have others to bounce symptoms/progress off of, since they deem 35 to be "too old to procreate"

@suzycupcake I had both a Midwife (MW) and a doula at my last birth. In our hospital system/state most MW are employed by the hospital so I gave birth in the hospital but it was a more low key experience. I was able to walk, sit on the birthing ball, labor in the tub, even water birth is an option (though not if you are a VBAC). This time around I will go the same route, having a MW and a doula. I had hoped to have a med free delivery but my labor was really long and I had not slept in 48 hours so in the end I had an epidural which allowed me to get a little sleep and have the energy to push. My MW/doula team was very supportive of my wishes but also encouraging when things outside of my preferred birth plan happened. In the end I was able to get everything that was really important to me out of the experience. We were also team green and DH was able to be the one to announce the sex of our baby. It was a really sweet moment.

@Avrilmai Congrats on your u/s!! I bet that was a trip to hear the heartbeat. When do you see an OB?
@MamaK225 I am also praying for you and your baby. Loss is so hard and you're not alone in your fears, even in the possible insecurities of reaching out to talk about it. ..................I'll be 35 in a few months so I'm assuming that means AMA. It's so weird to hear that because so many more women are having babies later in life now. And I'll have another one if it's in the cards for me.
@purplg8r How's it going with water intake this week? I didn't do so well yesterday but back up to better today. How do you usually hydrate when you run a marathon?
@celticknotfire Tomorrow is almost here! Let us know how your u/s goes.
@telda715 I reached out to an OB on my own since prenatal appointments are so important. My RE only does u/s. He doesn't do important blood work, monitor blood pressure, check urine, or anything like that which is important to do while pregnant.

@MamaK225 I have actually ran yet while pregnant—my last run was the week before my transfer. And my RE made a deal with me today that I can come back for one more ultrasound before she graduates me if I wait one more week. But I have a 3 race weekend in February so I need to get back into it (and learn how not to worry while I’m doing it)
@celticknotfire I’m so so sorry. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good news next week. Sending you hugs!
@purplg8r Way to go on wanting to get back into running. It’s hard to do things in spite of the worries that will still be there.
@Avrilmai Horray for a good scan! I am so glad you finally were able to have an u/s.
@MamaK225 Having a vanishing twin is a unique emotional roller coaster. It’s okay to have all the mixed feelings. Hope you’re hanging in there until your next scan.
How far along are you? 6+5
Any symptoms? Nausea, vomiting, sleep disturbances.
Rant/Rave? We had an unexpected appointment today, despite having one on Monday. All is well- The little dove is measuring one time. We heard&saw the HB today! It was mind blowing to see how much growth there was in 48hrs.
Next appointment? Tuesday, Jan 22nd.
GTKY: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? I’m not sure! I’m tempted to pick a long one bc all I ever do is nap during movies!
