Baby is the size of a(n): a chocolate chip!
Upcoming Appointments: bloodwork to confirm and first ultrasound on 1/28. Feels like forever away!
How are you feeling?: pretty good. Mostly just super tired and very sore boobs. My mom didn’t haven’t any morning sickness so I’m hoping I get the same luck!
Rants/Raves: I officially gave up all caffiene, and I’m a SEVERAL cups per day person. So my tiredness could also be because of that!
Questions: nope
Second kid: Dec 2021
First kid: Sept 2019
Baby is the size of a(n): tip of a pencil eraser
Upcoming Appointments: Not until end of month
How are you feeling?: Pretty good overall. I didn't have MS with either of my previous pregnancies but lack of symptoms is really messing with me
Rants/Raves: I've developed this annoying dry cough and am drinking so much water I am peeing every 30 minutes
Questions: Anyone else not sleeping good already?
chichiphin good luck at your u/s!
bluepeach565 Our appts are couple days apart! Only 3 more weeks lol
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: 1/28 first pre-natal
How are you feeling?: Fine no real symptoms yet, possibly becoming tired faster when I work out but that could also be a result of the holidays!
Rants/Raves: Not really experiencing any symptoms yet so I guess that is a good thing! (Don't want to jinx myself or anything!)
Questions: Anyone else not have any symptoms at all? I keep wanting to take more pregnancy tests just to make sure but I already took 2 different ones with positive results and missed my period sooo I am definitely assuming I am pregnant!
Second kid: Dec 2021
First kid: Sept 2019
Hoping 9/5 comes quickly!!
Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed
Upcoming Appointments: nothing scheduled as of yet
How are you feeling?: tired, nauseaous and boobs are tender
Rants/Raves: this cutting back or eliminating caffeine thing sucks!!!!!! Drinking this much water is going to kill me with my bladder issues from the last two pregnancies.
Questions: any working STM+ with tricks on reducing caffiene and getting through the day?
Baby is the size of a(n): orange seed
Upcoming Appointments: waiting for u/s appt (1st week of Feb)
How are you feeling?: exhausted
Rants/Raves: I can’t fulfill my hunger! Trying not to overeat and eat more good foods
Questions: nope
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: first appointment this Thursday 1/10
How are you feeling?: crazy emotional - I keep watching the Ellen show to help me laugh/cry. Also sore, nauseous, and exhausted. Oh, and nervous and excited about my first appointment!
Rants/Raves: It is so hard to keep this a secret! First time mom, and I'm super excited, so I want to share the news with everyone!
Questions: when does everyone plan to tell their employer that they are expecting? I've been so sick lately that I feel my coworkers must suspect, but I also feel that it's too early to reveal my news. Luckily my boss lives in a different state so it's easier to hide from her.

little girl A born 3.26.20
Baby size: Chocolate Chip!
Feeling: Tired, but excited.
Rant/Raves: Just excited I have no morning sickness, yet! With my first child, I was in labor and delivery 1-2 times a week getting IV fluids because I was so dehydrated.
Questions: Are any of you planning on throwing a gender reveal party for family / friends?! I can’t decide!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry! DS' favorite fruit
Upcoming Appointments: waiting to hear back from ob so not scheduled yet. Just switched insurance from KP to UHC and not loving it so far.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good. Add another worried mama to the not many symptoms group - although I am starting to get mild nausea.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: See above re: ob
Rave: DH has been pretty awesome - his dad nesting instinct is kicking in haha
Questions: Not really a question but so many of you have cut out caffeine! Wondering why if some is permitted *as I sip my allotted cup a day*
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming Appointments: I’m going to wait a bit.. 3 out of my 5 pregnancies (*TW* carried 3 to term, one missed misscarriage and now this pregnancy *END TW*) we’re all pushed back 1.5 weeks so I always end up going too early for anything.
How are you feeling?: super tired and my nipples hurt.
Rants/Raves: I’m currently breastfeeding my 6month old and my nipples feel like they are on fire 24/7, but I refuse to wean her (unless otherwise stated by my dr.) because it’s the longest I’ve made it EBF.
Questions: nope
@VeeMore with my last pregnancy I told my doctor on more occasions than not I had 2-3 cups a day to continue to function with my two toddlers and she said that was ok. 🤷🏼♀️
Upcoming Appointments: Jan. 25th (can't come soon enough!)
How are you feeling?: My pregnancy sx seem to be localized to my boobs right now, maybe some nausea today?
Rants/Raves: None
Questions: How many peeps are giving up their morning coffee?
Baby is the size of a(n): BB Pellet
Upcoming Appointments: U/S on the 17th to rule out ectopic and make sure there is actually a baby in there.
How are you feeling?: Honestly, I am feeling terrified. This has been a rocky pregnancy from the start with quite a bit of bleeding and low betas. Hoping for a miracle. Other than that, I am exhausted, slightly nauseated, constant headaches and sore boobs here and there.
Rants/Raves: I'm getting a new OB since mine is discontinuing OB care within the next couple of weeks. I'm honestly feeling ok about it because I'd been feeling a bit neglected by him the last couple of weeks. He just doesn't seem to care about this pregnancy which has been frustrating. I get that he isn't confident that it will stick, but I need someone in my corner. Hopefully my new OB will be amazing.
Questions: Anyone else on progesterone? If so, how much/how often?

Original Post: Hi Group 1! I'm lurking from Group 2, as I'm due 9/9 (5w3d today) and am right on the cusp of Group 1 and Group 2. (Don't worry I will happily stay in my Group!)
I'm just wondering if anyone else still has no / minimal symptoms? The lack of symptoms are making me nervous! Can't believe I actually want to feel ill.
I also have no symptoms! It has me kind of freaked out too, but I don't think I developed ms until about 7 or 8 weeks in my other pregnancies.
@chichiphin
I saw your U/S photo. How exciting! Are you hoping for twins or a singleton?
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9/4 based on PAP, but I think I o'd a couple days late
Baby is the size of a(n): appleseed
Upcoming Appointments: my first U/S is 1/22 and it come soon enough
How are you feeling?: my symptoms disappeared and it's got me worried, but had betas done yesterday and they came back good.
Rants/Raves: None
Questions: anyone else have nausea in week 4 but not week 5?
Pregnancy #2-Due 8/24/17 MMC-01/09/17
DD-Due 10/24/17
Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: phone appointment next week (first appointment)
How are you feeling?: Hardly any symptoms until the last few days - yesterday and today have had nausea, cramping and feel exhausted.
Rants/Raves: I cut back caffeine to one cup of coffee a day, but that tasted a lot less good this morning so it's probably time to make the switch to tea.
Questions: None at the moment!
5wks3days
Baby is the size of a(n): a #2 pencil eraser!
Upcoming Appointments: our first ultrasound on the 23rd
How are you feeling?: happy but scared, it's taken years to get our little bean
Rants/Raves: Time is crawling!! I can't wait to see our ultra sound
Questions: I have an ovarian cyst on my right side, today is the first time since my BFP that I've had some minor twinging/cramping on that specific side, is it most likely that cyst?? I'm so nervous for ectopic.
Baby is the size of a(n): dot snail! (I have the Ovia app set to "weird but cute animals" and it cracks me up. Baby was a "waterbear" last week)
Upcoming Appointments: Jan. 23!
How are you feeling?: Good! Which makes me worried. I know it's totally reasonable to not have a lot of symptoms at this stage, but it still makes me anxious.
Rants/Raves: Ummm, I don't think I have any this week.
Questions: None right now since you all have answered the question I keep asking myself, is it ok to not have symptoms yet? I just need to accept the answer.
Baby is the size of a: pea
Upcoming Appointments: Jan 24 - feels so very far away
How are you feeling?: Constantly queasy. I'm used to frequent nausea (old migraine issues), but this feels different. Like something's trying to crawl out of my stomach constantly. It used to just be at night, but the past couple days it's been 24/7. Also really tired. I work on my feet a lot and it's been hard to force myself to complete the tasks that require standing/walking.
Rants/Raves: My mom went on and on this morning about a friend who just told her that her daughter is pregnant. How friend is so happy, and my mom is so happy for her, and now the friend is praying for me to be pregnant since she doesn't have to pray for her own daughter anymore etc etc. It was cute to hear my mom gushing about it all, but so so so hard not to spill the beans. (We're waiting until after my first appointment to tell family.)
Questions: None.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry!
Upcoming Appointments: This Thursday January 24, will be my last appoint with fertility and they are discharging me to my OBGYN
How are you feeling?: So excited, but so nauseous and exhausted. The nausea has officially set in full force. It's not fun, but hearing that heart beat makes it all worth it!!
Rants/Raves: I can't wait to tell everyone. This is so hard keeping it a secret.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming Appointments: 1/14 was confirmation appt. First ultrasound will be 2/4. Cant wait to see this little nugget!
How are you feeling?: Constantly nauseous... way worse than with my first. Pretty tired too.
Rants/Raves: Its gloomy and cold, and I just want to lay around and be lazy all day but not an option as I work full-time. Blah!
