Rants/Raves: starting to accept this pregnancy is real, and I’m so happy!

Baby is the size of a(n): apple seed
Upcoming Appointments: My annual appointment happened to be scheduled for this Thursday; it’s now my “confirm pregnancy” appointment
How are you feeling?: Still very few symptoms so far. Nips are a little sore to the touch, and I’m still waking up around 3:30 and 5 nearly every night.
Rants/Raves: We went to our friend/neighbor’s house yesterday for dinner, and their very daughter recently graduated to a big girl bed. They offered to save the crib/ changing table/ armchair from her nursery for us!
Questions: Nope
@cammie0526 that's lucky about the furniture! I made the mistake of looking into baby gear and am already overwhelmed by the number of options and the cost of things. I mean...200 for basically a pillow!? (Re: doc a tot). FTM reality check here lol. But plenty of time to figure out.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9/15
Baby is the size of a(n): same
Upcoming Appointments: Feb 7
How are you feeling?: Mild cramping and getting a little more tired than usual but other than that feeling great
Rants/Raves: walked out of the end of a workout class for the first time ever today. They were doing core and I know that's not recommended. Lol that's not really a rant or a rave.
Questions:
P.S. Both of my kids survived without the doc-a-tot 😉
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming Appointments: U/S on 2/13
How are you feeling?: just some light cramping and maybe a bit more emotional than usual. Last pregnancy my only symptom was very tender breasts, very early on so it’s strange not to have that symptom yet.
Rants/Raves: just happy to be pregnant!
Questions: Nope
Baby is the size of a(n): Speck of sawdust
Upcoming Appointments: Ultrasound 02/04
How are you feeling?: not bad just have a cold which sucks! Anxious to make sure things are ok in there since I had what I thought was a period.
Rants/Raves: you guys are making me feel better about not having sore boobs! That was my first and most prominent symptom with my son so to not have them overwhelmingly sore right now is freaking me out. Everything about how this is playing out so far is completely different than his pregnancy actually.
Questions: Not so far
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming Appointments: U/S on 2/6
How are you feeling?: I am getting over a little cold and very tired but other than that no complaints. Last pregnancy I had very sorr breast so it is weird to not have that yet. Maybe it will be a boy!
Rants/Raves: happy to be pregnant after a miscarriage in October
Questions: nope
Baby is the size of a(n): Apple Seed
Upcoming Appointments: Today I had my first u/s; my initial appt with the OBGyn is 1/16.
How are you feeling?: Bloated and extremely tired, I take so many naps (I never take naps).
Rants/Raves: I wasn’t sure why my family doctor scheduled my u/s so soon when all it showed was the yolk sac. It made me so nervous because now I have to hope an embryo appears at my next appointment.
Questions: Has anyone else been advised to get an u/s so soon? If so, did you see what you wanted to see?
Baby is the size of a(n): sesame seed
Upcoming Appointments: next GP appt is on Feb 4th and I still have to book my dating/viability ultrasound.
How are you feeling?: I’m starting to feel queasy, especially before meals. Also I’m hungrier! I’m normally a 3 square meals sort of person, but I might need to incorporate larger snacks.
Rants/Raves: I’m happy that work is getting busy because I’d like the next few weeks to go by quickly. The last week has felt looong.
Questions: is anyone taking choline supplements? I’m mostly vegetarian and might not be getting enough from my diet (I’m trying to eat more eggs). Thoughts? Recommendations? I forgot to ask my GP about this.
Knottie21329276 It would be great if you could change your user name so that we can get to know you better/differentiate you from the many other "knotties" that appear. When I changed mine, I just googled how to do it, and I had to log into my old account at The Knot to change it, but it was easier than I thought! // Anyway, my drs are having me in at 8 weeks for the first u/s. That is all I know.
hanshotfirst77 Yayyy that your second beta doubled appropriately. ::Happy Dance::
@aussie&yank I haven't thought yet about splurging for my pregnancy, but I *am* looking forward to buying some cute maternity clothes! I have weddings to attend in May & June, so hopefully I can find something awesome for those. That's a way off though & a bit selfish--all about me rather than the +1 in my belly haha.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: September 13th / 4w4d
Baby is the size of a(n): grain of rice
Upcoming Appointments: I'm going by tomorrow (Wed.) for labs & then again next Wed. I have to reschedule my first u/s date bc... work stuff/other people's inefficiencies. 😡
How are you feeling?: I've been good the past three days! Just some minor cramping & other small reminders--yes on the sore boobs for me! that's like my main reminder, but it's also something I get w/ AF, though exaggerated for pregnancy right now-- but not many other "symptoms." Glad to be going in for labs considering all that.
Rants/Raves: We just got home a couple hours ago from our two-day drive, & our 10 mo. old puppy ate a bunch of leaves & such from our backyard for some reason & threw up a bunch of times. Hate to see her sick but I'm too tired & sensitive to smell right now to be cleaning up that much barf! She & DH are passed out in the bedroom now, though, so: hopefully all is well. / I finally told DH & not the way I'd anticipated, but it worked out great. I was going to wait til we had our "we're home!" xmas gift exchange, but he asked when I was getting AF & I was cagey so he asked if I was KU & I was more cagey--so I had us stop at a restaurant for dinner (we normally eat on the go when doing that drive) & told him then & I was glad I did. He was all emotional and excited. He made me keep the receipt for our dinner. 😊
Questions: I have like 12 million questions, but I forget all of them bc of the roadtrip!
Baby is the size of a(n): Sawdust/Poppy seed? (Ovia app is giving me mixed reports!)
Upcoming Appointments: First appointment is on January 30th. My OB had me schedule at 7 weeks *TW* because I have a history of loss in first tri * End TW so I am excited to get in and prayerfully see wonderful progress & a strong heartbeat!
How are you feeling?: SO TIRED. Fall asleep at 8pm tired after work, and I'm usually a night owl I slept through the Bachelor premier! (That's a first for me!) Hungrier than usual first thing in the morning as well. Some headaches as I cut way back on my caffeine consumption... I'm usually a 2-3 cups a day girl. Sticking to 1 or less now! Also... hot flashes... wow. I don't remember these with my first? I'm usually always cold. I am constantly sweating and feeling like I'm on fire.
Rants/Raves: I'm excited to be pregnant again. We have a 2.5 year old and I want so badly to give her a sibling.
Questions: Those of you that get blood draws, is that your doctors standard practice to confirm pregnancy or have you undergone fertility treatments or other circumstances? I'm curious because I've never had those done.
5wks 1day
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed
Upcoming Appointments: 1st prenatal appointment Jan 30th
How are you feeling?: Bloated, but other than that, great! Although I did tear up at a news story about kids reading to a therapy dog lol
Rants/Raves: Just ready for our first appointment! 3 more weeks seems like forever!
Questions: Wondering if the doctor will do an ultrasound during the first appointment. That would be exciting
But in the past I've had them from normal OB at my request (due to previous CPs). They are totally unnecessary but if it’s something you want you are entitled to ask for it!
Baby is the size of a(n): poppyseed
Upcoming Appointments: Feb 6th
How are you feeling?: Very tired today. But overall excited and now anxious. I don’t want to wait 4 weeks but I keep telling myself it will be worth it to see my little one.
Rants/Raves: nothing sounds good to eat. I changed my mind about dinner 5 times tonight and then in the end I was so hungry I just picked the fastest one. At this point I am looking forward to cravings. At least I will know what I want.
Questions: none.
This time, though, I just called my obgyn's office & was like "i'm pregnant!" & they were like "cool, let's schedule you for xyz" & that was that. So: I guess some offices do require it & others don't? Hence why the university clinic thought it was a requirement but, really, it wasn't for my obgyn's office?
@mommyshark13 the spring semester starts for me this upcoming Wed. & I have so much to do before the end of the month, that I feel like I can't tell if time is going to fly by without me having done all the stuff I need to do or be super slow bc 2/4 couldn't be farther away. I hope it's just slow enough I can get stuff done and just fast enough that it's 2/4 & my stuff is done & we're at the appointment like it's... I can't say tomorrow bc that would mean I didn't get all the stuff done I need to do haha!
