Re: PGAL Check-in w/o 2/25
2. Previous loss(es)? 2MMC, 5 CPs total (not all in a row)
3. How are you feeling? I have a cold, but I work with 5-8 year olds and live with a 3 year old, so I've been pleasantly surprised this is the first one. My nausea has been much better (it seems to be worse on the weekends) and I haven't taken B6 in a couple of days! And my doppler is the best $60 I've spent in a long time--it's really helped with the anxiety.
4. Any appointment updates? MFM on 1/9 and regular Ob on 1/11
5. Just for fun- Do you consider yourself outdoorsy? I'm very much a "if you consider drinking on patios outdoorsy, then yes." I do like hiking (especially in the Pacific Northwest) but then I want to take a shower and go to a nice dinner. Preferably with a drink on a patio and no mosquitos.
2. Previous loss(es)? 1 MMC 12/17
3. How are you feeling? Still tired, sometimes still nauseous but it seems tho be easing up. Of course that's making me nervous even though I know It's supposed to at this point! And all of my 1st tri bloating is gone which would be good but it was making me look pregnant and now I don't as much. I think I'm emotionally guarding myself just in case I have another MMC...
3. Any appointment updates? Had my last appointment at 12w3d. Couldn't find the heartbeat on the Doppler so they did a quick ultrasound and found it right away (thank goodness!) and saw the little feet kicking up a storm. We had the NIPT done then and it came back a week ago - no risk of trisomy and it's a boy! I'm trying to be expired but like I said, I can tell I'm really guarding myself...
Just for fun - do you consider yourself outdoorsy? Sort of. I love camping and hiking (for our honeymoon my husband and I camped in state and national parks along the way, all the way from Chicago to Glacier NP and back again) but we don't do it often at all. I like to take my 5yo daughter on hikes in forest preserves but we only do it once every few weeks or so - and not at all this pregnancy!
I got this doppler because we live in the same area as their warehouse and I paid to upgrade the shipping and I'm pretty sure ordered it Thursday morning and got it by Friday evening:

2. Previous loss(es)? 1 MMC 2/2017
3. How are you feeling? So. Much. Better. I have energy. I'm only gagging/dry heaving a few times a day. I forgot how much I LOVE the second trimester. Plus my belly popped out this week so I don't have to suck in anymore.
I also have a home doppler and it saves me. I check more than I should, but now that she's bigger and I can find it faster its better. Its a blessing and a curse when they're little tiny and hide in there.
4. Any appointment updates? Nothing until anatomy scan in 2.5 weeks.
5. Just for fun- Do you consider yourself outdoorsy? I'm like @mwmille@mwmiller4
and am "outdoorsy" in that I like to drink on patios in nice weather. Beyond that, I'm out.
2. Previous loss(es)? NMC 9 weeks, CP, MMC 9.5 weeks
3. How are you feeling? Pretty crummy again. i have been very nauseous again, lots of gagging and dry heaving in the mornings, frequent headaches, lots of back and pelvic pain...but I will take it if it means LO is doing well!
4. Any appointment updates? nope, next appt is a week from tomorrow.
5. Just for fun- Do you consider yourself outdoorsy? Another vote for I am outdoorsy in that I like to get drunk on patios.

@mwmiller4 I'm sorry you're sick, I hope it's the first and only time this year. Having a doppler is great. I like your definition of outdoorsy.
@skp480 It's ok to keep guarding yourself. I'm so glad the testing came back low risk. Congratulations on your healthy boy! This is the doppler I have: https://www.babydoppler.com/sonoline-b-fetal-doppler.html
@ash0625 I'm glad you're feeling better! I shudder to think how I would freak out if I couldn't find the baby on the doppler.
@allycat11 I'm sorry you're feeling sick again. I hope you feel better soon.
1. How many weeks are you? 13w5d
2. Previous loss(es)? 4 first tri
3. How are you feeling? Pretty good - I have a bit of RLP, some fatigue and headaches, but overall I feel lucky that my symptoms are mild. Getting a little more excited each week. I did get some anxiety right before our appt but knowing I had heard him on the doppler the day before helped.
4. Any appointment updates? We had an OB appt yesterday and our little guy looked good on the u/s. For those with dopplers I told the tech I had one and she said she was glad it lessens my anxiety and didn't seem at all concerned.
5. Just for fun- Do you consider yourself outdoorsy? I like a nice outdoor walk, but nothing too strenuous. I'm with you ladies on enjoying a nice patio.
2. Previous loss(es)? 1 MMC sept 2018
3. How are you feeling? Good for the most part! Been having headaches lately but they’re manageable.
4. Any appointment updates? I have an appointment tomorrow! Just a routine checkup— looking forward to hearing baby girls heart beat!
5. Just for fun- Do you consider yourself outdoorsy? Definitely also enjoy drinks on patios. I like hiking but not camping. I’m a mosquito magnet so that’s pretty miserable. I love being at my parents lake house, being on the boat, water sports, and being outside there... so I’m outdoorsy in that way.
