Re: Group 4 July 24th-31st
Baby is the size of a(n): Strawberry
Upcoming Appointments: January 4th, official first OB appointment.
How are you feeling?: nauseous and tired.
Rants/Raves: None really. Just excited to have made it this far along
Questions: who else is looking forward to this supposed miracle of energy that the second trimester brings?
Baby is the size of a(n): Brussels Sprout
Upcoming Appointments: Next Thursday for a checkup
How are you feeling?: Still exhausted all the time. A lot of dizziness which gets even worse when I'm tired. Also dealing with some nausea/feeling full all the time.
Rants/Raves: Still spotting about once a week, still calling the nurse everytime it happens, and still getting the same response. "If you're not filling a pad every hour and you don't have severe cramping, you're probably fine." Still scares the heck out of me everytime it happens though!
Questions: For all the workin mamas, how are you hiding your bump until you announce? I'm very petite and already starting to pop a little bit if you look close enough. Eek! Not telling anyone at work until the second trimester.
Baby is the size of a(n): 🍓
Upcoming Appointments: January 7, OB checkup
How are you feeling?: Nauseous! Week 9 felt better but 10 has hit me like a ton of bricks. Also insomnia? Hard to know of I can blame that on baby bean or not with me.
Rants/raves: The bloat bump. Not making it easy to keep quiet! Same as meandlittleb, I only have so many baggy work shirts!
Questions: none today
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming Appointments: NT scan the 14th and first visit at the birthing center the 16th
How are you feeling?: still throwing up most mornings, especially if I am woken up by DD wanting to play/read/dance...have a hard time saying no but it always makes me sick
Rants/Raves: still super stressed about my toxoplasmosis results! It has been a week since I found out they were positive but haven’t had any follow-up yet. I’m assuming the reference lab that is supposed to determine the date of the infection was closed between Christmas and new year but still...
Questions: none right now!
A girl in our office recently kept it secret through her anatomy scan because she was super nervous about losing the baby. She generally wore cardigans with deep V necks and tight-ish tops underneath. I think it was more successful than the button up shirts unless that is what your style normally is
Next appt: Jan 8th. Having our Panorama/NIPT drawn. Not sure if we’ll have another US since I had one at 7ish weeks. If you have the NIPT drawn does it negate the need for a NT scan?
How I’m feeling: Still very tired and still so bloated/ full feeling all the time. I get so hungry but after I eat I feel miserably bloated.
Rants/Raves: Thankfully I wear scrubs to work, which helps hide the bloat/bump. Looking forward to my appt and getting my Panorama results so we can go “public” near the end of the month. I got my Sneak Peek results back the week of Christmas and they said BOY so my fingers are crossed that it was accurate!!
@MagsK24 I've been struggling with insomnia on and off the whole first tri. I got a fitness watch for Christmas and I've been tracking my sleep. It's scary to see how much sleep I DON'T actually get. Yikes!
next appointment: dating US on Monday. It was delayed a bit by my work schedule and the holidays
how I’m feeling: today has been a good day. Yesterday the nausea, vomiting and constipation were so bad I barely could stay at work. I just would hate cancelling appointments when I’m not actually contagious/sick so I’ve been pushing through.
Rants/Raves: My SIL is due in 8 weeks and I’m getting excited for her. She has waited a long time for her LO and is so excited that things are going well.
Baby is the size of a(n): lime (I find this pretty hard to believe unless it’s a super small lime? Doesn’t seem to match measurements)
Upcoming Appointments: NT scan on 22nd
How are you feeling?: Nausea seems to have gone
Rants/Raves:
Questions: is anyone feeling very mild cramps more like pressure or gas feeling down very low in abdomen. Causing my pgal anxiety to flare up but hoping it’s normal 😟
also, I think they mean key limes which are the same size as a Brussels sprout. Other apps call it a Brussels sprout right now which is more on target.
Lots happening in limited space!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming Appointments: NT scan on Jan 17th then next OB on Jan 29th.
How are you feeling?: Much better this week, no longer nauseous and tired and my appetite for healthier food has returned.
Rants/Raves: Raves-heard the heartbeat this week! Rants-stressing a bit about the bloodwork, waiting on genetic carrier screening. Also still debating doing the NIPT in addition to the NT.
Questions:
Baby is the size of a brussel sprout
Upcoming appointment: January 15 (3rd ob appointment). My progesterone is low so the doctor is keeping a close eye on me
How are you feeling?: I feel great! Not to brag but I have not had much nausea. I felt a little around 7 weeks but it faded pretty quickly. Otherwise I am tired all the time.
Rants/raves: the closer I get to the end of the first trimester the better I feel about this pregnancy. I was so worried about miscarriage after going through about a year struggling to get pregnant. We told my parents about the pregnancy while they were visiting for Christmas. They are over the moon!
It’s awesome to have the future grandparents so excited with you
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
Upcoming Appointments: 1/11 for my 12 week scan then Monday to go over everything with the doc for my 12 week appointment.
