Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Finding out! Probably...
Upcoming Appointments:
Next week for 12w appointment. I think we'll get the doppler but not an ultrasound
How are you feeling?:
SO MUCH BETTER. The nausea is mostly gone with the exception of mornings and if I let myself get too hungry. I'm still having sore boobs and having lots of pregsomnia.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: there have been so many pregnancy announcements among my family, friends, and coworkers lately. It's killing me not to be like, "ME TOO!!!"
Rave: all our immediate family knows now, and that's a good feeling ❤
Questions:
When can I expect the chest soreness to let up?
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
I would love to be able to teleport. This would make international travel so much easier. I could go to Hawaii for the weekend, because on Friday afternoon I'd just teleport myself there, and teleport back on Monday morning.
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 4/1 which will include NIPT bloodwork
How are you feeling?: so so nauseated. I’m taking diclegis and Zantac and it’s still awful.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
Normally I would have said teleportation like @galentine. No more commute and/or I could live somewhere nice with a low COL and just teleport to work... and to Paris for dinner... and to the beach for a weekend...
But right now I really wish I could fast forward time. I don’t want to wish my life away, but on days like today where I’m just sitting at my desk feeling awful and counting down the hours until I can go to bed, I would fast forward to evening, spend some time with my family, and go to bed.
Baby is the size of a(n): Cherry
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out but not set on which one, kinda leaning towards blue for DH since we already have a girl.
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday, just a blood draw for my panorama screening
How are you feeling?: Good for the most part. Exhaustion and some nausea comes in waves.
Rants/Raves: I'm able to hear the babies heartbeat on my home monitor now, which is nice and keeps me sane lol.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Be invisible. So many conversations I'd love to overhear without them knowing lol.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9w5D
Baby is the size of a(n): Cherry or The One Ring
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM with 2 adultish step children
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out
Upcoming Appointments: Another U/S Thursday, a different tech this time so I’m not horribly comfortable going.
How are you feeling?: Today is good. Yesterday was not. My sickness is worse in evenings so mornings is great time to ask lol.
Rants/Raves: as @galentine said Pregsomnia, I’m sleeping in 3 hour spurts and it’s really wearing on me.
Rave: DH mentioned last week, without me asking, that I only need to work when I feel like it, we’re sitting well financially so not to stress. That’s a relief because I’m really not feeling it.
Questions: STM+ my last pregnancy seems so long ago, what are your bra recommendations. I find sport type most comfy.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? I was just discussing this with DH, I’d say telekinesis Because I’m so forgetful and hate getting back up to get stuff.

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Finding out
Upcoming Appointments:
4/10, it’s been less than a week since my last appointment and I’m so ready for the next. Of course after we left I came up with soo many questions I wish I would have asked.
How are you feeling?:
Better. The nausea is slowly fading, still can’t shake the tiredness though.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
Has anyone else had a preemie due to IUGR? How was/are you treated in the next pregnancy?
Between that with our last and our first child having a congenital birth defect, I’m of course considered high-risk. They’ve already scheduled my csection for late September and I’ve been told that I probably won’t make it until then.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
I think I’d like to know what other people are thinking. It could be a blessing or a curse I guess. I think I could handle some situations way easier if I could just figure out the reasons behind people’s actions.
@galentine When will you "officially" announce to everyone? After NIPT results?
@greenbean-2 Sorry about the heartburn! I remember that with DS and it's no fun
@scuba_chic Yay for hearing baby's heartbeat. Such a sweet sound
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/14 - 10 weeks today!
Baby is the size of a(n): petit four, golden snitch or strawberry 🍓
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM (DS is 4.5)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: NIPT/NT scan on 4/02, regular 12 week OB appt on 4/03
How are you feeling?: Meh and okay... not feeling too great with my IBS. And tired.
Rants/Raves: Only two more weeks until my appointments!
Questions: nope
GTKY: I would love to be invisible (so I could be nosy whenever I want). I would also love to fly (because I hate traffic and driving).
ETA for wrong date
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
Baby is the size of a(n): Ping pong ball.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Finding out, but I think my husband and I will keep the information to ourselves for a little while. We'll be finding out early because I'm AMA so everyone else can wait a minute, LOL!
Upcoming Appointments: Friday for NT scan.
How are you feeling?: Nausea is much better, unless my stomach is empty. I also tend to feel nausea more at night. I'm getting some round ligament pain, but nothing too bad.
Rants/Raves: I hugged my husband goodbye this morning and he could feel my tiny bump. It was so sweet to see him get excited about it, but also thank God I'm pregnant because telling me, "I can feel your stomach sticking out!" would be grounds for divorce.
Questions: None at the moment.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Fly. They are still my favorite dreams. I love heights, so I would love to fly around and see everything below. It would be very meditative.
@stephanie123456, I'm getting together with girlfriends this weekend, so I'll tell them then. Extended family will probably get a text around week 13, and social media sometime after that. I would be totally fine not announcing on social media until after my anatomy scan.
@elle-0409, your story about your H noticing your bump is so cute! I both "awwwed" and laughed out loud 😊
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: NOPE! Didn’t find out with the first two either...it’s more fun.
Upcoming Appointments: 4/3 and 4/15 for the first tri screen.
How are you feeling?: sooooo tired
Rants/Raves: third pregnancy and only (almost) 9 weeks and I swear I’m showing so much faster this time. Pretty sure my uterus is like “alright here we go...”
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Speed. It would be nice if it took like 10 seconds to clean my house instead of an afternoon....or month 🤷🏻♀️
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: GREEN
Upcoming Appointments: We had an appointment last week where we got the confirmation ultrasound and at first the ultrasound techs measurements were ... not calibrated? That’s what she said but I did not realize that was possible, I suppose anything that takes measurements could be improperly calculated. Anyways, every measurement she took was a week to a week and a half behind and based on how early I got my positive I just knew that wasn’t possible and was freaking out the whole time, which I think she could tell, and of course H is off to the side like awww look yay! Ha. Anyways, after she realized that it was off, baby only measured one day off LMP so that was a relief
How are you feeling?: sick this week, but much better anxiety wise after that appointment.
Rants/Raves: Rant: having a cold that better go away by the end of this week because Rave: we are going to the beach! Can’t freaking wait.
Questions: not at the moment.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Flying because I just think it would be incredible. But I struggle with only choosing one because then I would feel like I should choose teleportation to be able to go anywhere! Flying for the experience, teleportation for convenience 😄👍🏼
@galentine Whaaat? “Finding out! Probably….” I hope you're comfortable telling us! Ya know, perfect strangers
lol
@greenbean-2 I hope you get some relief really soon!!
@scuba_chic How exciting that you’re able to hear the heartbeat on the doppler! It’s one of my favorite things to do!!
@kindbytealikat I hope your appointment with the new tech goes well!
@KaitlinS11 I always have additional questions after I leave the doctors. Are you able to email them? That’s what I do so I don’t have to wait.
@elle-0409 Eeeek! How exciting for a little bump!!
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 11w5d
Baby is the size of a(n): Lime
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team BLUE!!!
Upcoming Appointments: 12 week appointment this Thursday 3/21
How are you feeling?: Pretty good. The horrible 1st tri symptoms are easing up which is wonderful but now I'm getting some weird new symptoms. Numbness in limbs, dizziness when standing up, horrible gas pains and heartburn.
Rants/Raves: We broke the news to Social Media and also to my coworkers. It's exciting!! and I'm glad I don't have to hide it any more!!
Rant, please queue the "I only gained 20lbs during my pregnancy" & "Raman noodles aren't really healthy for you or the baby" comments...… *rolling my eyes so hard right now*
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Remove calories from food and not change the flavor one bit.....
Also, YAY for being 100% out about the pregnancy! How exciting!!
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Oct 23 / 8+5
Baby is the size of a(n): Gummybear
FTM/STM/TTM+: Eghh tech STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out
Upcoming Appointments: First OB appt this Fri
How are you feeling?: Better. Still tired but not quite as bad. Boobs are killing and I'm pretty sure I've maxed out this cup over the last week. And, I usually shower in the dark but since I slept in so late Sat it was daylight and umm.... yea my nips are huge 🤷♀️
Rants/Raves: Random- I finally told the coworker whose office is on the other side of the window. He suspected and said "well I do have 5 if my own" which I kinda figured would make it stand out more.
My rant is that I'm out of shaved ham (go ahead and judge, I will still eat all the deli meat!!).
Questions: STMs+ that use home doppler, did you find HB earlier then the first? I know our Utes expand quicker so it would make sense if HB could be picked up sooner due to that. Mine should be coming in this week and I'm trying to decide if I should try it or wait (PGAL so I'll anxiety if it doesn't work and even if I don't try so seems like there's no winning....)
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Teleportation. I mean, I only work 10min from home but that's 10 more min of sleep.....
Baby is the size of a(n): Brussel sprout
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM (with a 3rd angel baby)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: I forgot I was to have a progesterone check today and took my supplement last night 🙄 so that will be tomorrow. Hearing that my numbers go up every 2 weeks is a nice reassurance
How are you feeling?: the physical symptoms are getting to me mentally, if that makes sense. just so tired of not feeling good and I’m developing new symptoms
Rants/Raves: rant - we had one day of awesome warm weather and sunshine last week and now it’s cold and gray again. Where the hell is spring?
Rave- DH is the best. There’s nothing like pregnancy to make me really appreciate him lol. He never complains about my lack of cooking, cleaning or basically being a functioning human being. Or my complaining 😩
Questions: when you heat lunch meat to eat, does it have to still be warm when you eat it? I zapped some yesterday but it cooled down almost immediately. I did eat it right away
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? teleportation, 100%. I love to travel and would do so nonstop
Baby is the size of a(n):
Strawberry or a Lego figure (?)
FTM/STM/TTM+:
TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Probably finding out. (I have done one of each in the past... found out first time, Team Green second time).
Upcoming Appointments:
April 1st, but no ultrasound.
How are you feeling?:
Pretty fine all day long, until the evenings when I feel so full, but also hungry, and i get motion sickness on my commute home that just sticks around until I go to bed...which is basically around 8:30 because I am also exhausted.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
I would like to be invisible. I am so nosy! I would also like a car that could fly over traffic.
Baby is the size of a(n): A lime, or long as a bobby bin
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Will find out the gender, soon too!
Upcoming Appointments: March 25th for my 12 week appt
How are you feeling?: Tired, so so tired, I did not sleep well last night and I'm just dragging here.
Rants/Raves: DH is super supportive, but I would really like it if he kept up with the dishes more often/ And more teas available to drink without stressing over side affects.
Questions: Whats everyone's favorite quick breakfast. I'm interested in nothing lately but I do need to eat lol.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Right now teleportation so I can avoid rush hour
Baby is the size of a(n): Brussels Sprout or Lime (must be a small lime)
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: FINALLY have my first OB appointment this Friday! I got spoiled seeing my RE in the early part of the pregnancy, and waiting three weeks since the last offficial scan/check in has been brutal.
How are you feeling?: Overall pretty good, but somehow my nausea has gotten worse this week. Haven't had any issues with the SCH either so I'm hoping to get taken off this "partial bed rest" after Friday's appointment.
Rants/Raves: No rants this week. DH has been sooo amazing so he is my rave. The man has had to do all of the cooking and cleaning (we usually do a good job of splitting these duties between us) since I was put on rest, and he hasn't complained once. He's gone out to fetch me random things I'm craving multiple times, and when we found baby's hb with the home doppler the other day, he cried. He's just the best!
Questions: Is anybody in maternity jeans yet? I bought a pair and while they are definitely a bit loose of course they are soooo comfortable. I may make the switch from the belly band earlier than planned. Anyone else??
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? I'm with @galentine, teleporting all the way! I travel a ton for work and it would be amazing to just blink and be at my destination.
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry or paperclip
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We did not find out with #1 and it was amazing, but we’ve decided to find out with this one. Mostly because I’ll have 3 years of clothes stored that I’d like to sort through and give away if it’s a girl and I’d rather do that work before-hand.
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow!! With the OB. I’m on pins and needles hoping to hear a good heartbeat again!
How are you feeling?: Better! The weather improved this weekend and so did my symptoms!
Rants/Raves: Rave: We selected tenants for our rental property yesterday and they’ll be moving in this weekend! We only had it listed for one week, so really happy we had good interest and good candidates to choose from!
Questions: Nope
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? Has anyone watched the Umbrella Academy yet on Netflix? I would love the power that Allison has to influence people - more or less mind control. I promise I would only use it for good! Try to make the world a better place.☺️

My daytime bra bra that I love is this one. I’ve been wearing it since I stopped wearing a nursing bras and just couldn’t return to wearing underwires. It is great!

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Finding out
Upcoming Appointments:
Tomorrow for the genetic counselor and next Wednesday for the NT scan.
How are you feeling?:
So anxious right now on top of super queasy still. My body seems to once a week give me a full day or two of feeling better and then goes right back to so much yuck. This whole time I still haven't been able to eat an entire meal, and if I try it causes distress the rest of the day. My brain though is finally realizing that it's the scary real time that I could find out pretty bad news and that has me pretty nervous. Figuring I'll be in this place for about the next 3 weeks until my NT results come back.
Rants/Raves:
Rant, against myself. Had a big fight with SO last night. My grounds were fair enough (we've had a dishwasher sitting in its box, still in the dining room, for over a year and a half waiting to be installed and every day as I'm doing dishes by hand it makes me angry) BUT as I have a tendency to do, I let it explode out of proportion. We've both apologized and calmed down, but the shock waves are still being felt.
Questions:
None right now
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
Definitely Jedi force. "You will give me a raise" as I wave my hand in front of my boss's face. Got to be honest and say I'd use it for wealth and power. Of course after that I'd try to help people some too 😜
@jenferlee82 I loathe maternity jeans. I’m actually hoping to avoid them until into 3rd tri like with DS1, I hate them so much.

FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: right now I’m 80% on finding out... I initially thought I wanted the surprise but I’m changing my mind! DH is 100% for finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 3/27 have NT scam and NIPT testing and meeting with genetic counselor. A bit nervous for that one! And then my second OB apt is 4/3
How are you feeling?: b-l-o-a-t-e-d AF
Rants: Work has been stressful, I am feeling burnt out! I have a big meeting tomorrow with a disgruntled parent and their advocate and I’m nervous.
Raves: Excited for my FL trip w DH over April vacation!! Bring on the sunshine ☀️ also I saw my sister who lives out of state this weekend and told her. She was so excited and it made me that much more happy and excited!!
Questions: pregsomnia peeps: what are you taking? My OB suggested Unisom but it doesn’t work great for me.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it?
I would want to be a medium! My mother passed five years ago and my brother passed away last year. I would love to be able to talk to them. I love going to mediums and hearing what they say. I’m still a skeptic, but it would be really nice to be able to connect with loved ones.

FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out. Next Monday is our blood draw. Can't wait!
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow for the regular check up, then Monday for screening.
How are you feeling?: Nausea has gone way down, but still feeling reflux-y and bloated in the evening.
Rants/Raves: Rave: spring is finally here! W00t! Rain has stopped, at least for this week. Rant: totally over work right now. Just want the week to be over.
Questions:
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 10/25, 8+4
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry I think?
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out ASAP
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday for dating ultrasound (had my first OB appt yesterday and they don’t do US on the same day). First MFM appt next Thursday (to discuss genetic testing for cystinuria since DH and his sister have it + my history x2 of cholestasis)
How are you feeling?: MUCH better. Still slightly nauseous but I can concentrate now. Not sure if it’s because time did it or the unisom/B6 but I don’t care either way
Rants/Raves: Loving feeling a bit more like myself this week! However, I’m finding my workouts are already much harder than they have been previously.
Questions: none right now
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? It used to be reading minds but as I get older I realize I don’t want to know what people are thinking about me. Instead, teleportation (vacations whenever!)
Baby is the size of a(n): Gummybear
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: totally gonna find out! I won't be able to wait
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow!!! Finally! It's felt like torture at times waiting for this appointment. Can't wait to see that little heartbeat tomorrow 😍😍
How are you feeling?: I'm slowly figuring out what to eat that will keep my feeling good and keep the nausea/heartburn/indigestion at bay. Having food aversions for sure --- I feel really sad that I want nothing to do with potato chips --- they're my favorite otherwise 😂 fruit and veggies and nuts seem to be the jam right now. Also have the metallic taste in the mouth and constant sleepiness.
Rants/Raves: No rants right now! Raves - H had really stepped up his game! Been bringing me whatever I ask for and giving nightly back scratches! Also being more supportive and understanding 😍
Questions: not for now!
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? I would fly! Mainly just for fun but also to get places faster!
Baby is the size of a(n): pygmy seahorse
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM, DS is 2.5 yo
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green! It was so fun last time, and I like that it is something that DH can experience first and tell me. So much of pregnancy is second hand for him, I'm happy he can have this.
Upcoming Appointments: 3/25 - next Monday and I am so ready for it!
How are you feeling?: Tired, nauseated, short-tempered. I am impatient to tell people and start planning for next school year.
Rants/Raves: I have a useless coworker, and I have to swap homerooms with him because he is refusing to do the 9th grade biology remediation we decided as a department needed to happen. I love bio, and don't mind doing it, but that means that I give up my calm senior group (which basically is an extra hour of planning) to go and work in his room because he can't be a team player.
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? As with most here, teleportation so I could get to work on time every day and skip traffic on the way home. I saw a neat one online once, though, that was the power to refill anything. Out of juice? Refill! Bank account low? Refill! Someone is pissing you off? Refill their bladder and bowels!
@prpl11butterfly I did not have one with my other two but I got one this time and have not been able to find the HB yet (tried last night at 8w+3d). I’m not at all worried about it and wasn’t expecting to find it, but if that will cause you anxiety I feel like it could be good to wait.
@steminist, oooh that’s a great superpower!
Baby is the size of a(n): 2x2 Lego brick
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green! I understand why people find out, but I love the surprise. I considered letting DH learn the sex and keep it from me, but he is horrible at keeping secrets from me and wouldn't be able to stop referring to the baby by sex (he/she). I'm also hoping to prevent the baby shower from turning into all clothes and very few necessities, like I've personally seen happen to several friends (even when they haven't registered for clothes).
Upcoming Appointments: April 8
How are you feeling?: The nausea is finally letting up a bit (temporary?), but I am still congested and beginning to get the metallic taste in my mouth. I also have a headache today, but those aren't unusual for me, so it may not be pregnancy related.
Last night I started getting hot flashes again. I got them with my previous pregnancy, but they were much worse. I miscarried in December, but they didn't fully go away until a couple weeks into this pregnancy. Thankfully I already have a bath sheet from the prior pregnancy to control the cold wet!
Rants/Raves: I'm actually pretty neutral right now. I guess I could say I'm not looking forward to doing our taxes, mostly because this is the first year we'll do them together and we've been delaying (bought a house last month and we're still trying to get moved in), which isn't good. But thankfully DH is great at math and I have a degree in finance, so hopefully that'll help. 🤞🏻
Questions: I guess a question for STM+ is if you have a solid list of questions to ask your doctor out the gate? I love my OB/Gyn, but all the questions in the books and online seem so generic. What did you actually find valuable to ask your OB this early in the game?
GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be/how would you use it? I love all the superpowers already listed! I'd like to be able to reach into my pocket and always have exact change for what I need. That way I'd never be without and hopefully could help a lot of people as well.
