Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green!
Upcoming Appointments: First ultrasound in a week! So excited!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Generally fine, tired more than anything else
Rants/Raves: Can’t wait to share the news with everyone: only parents, sibs, and my boss know, everyone else is in the dark. It’s a hard secret to keep! But we’re trying to wait till June so 1st trimester is cleared. Also, looking forward to talking to you all! 😊
Questions: None
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? I hope so! We were trying to plan a Mediterranean cruise before we found out, but the vacation conversation has sort of been tabled since the news since we have so many other things to discuss. Work is also a challenge with vacay—it’s just busy times all the time, it’s hard to get away without it causing any problems. Maternity leave should be interesting...
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding Out
Upcoming Appointments: Had an US today and next appt will be on 5/22
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Well I want to eat everything I see then as soon as I eat it regret it and half of the time get sick. Chicken noodle soup makes me happy though.
Rants/Raves: *TW Lose Mentioned* After the last 3 miscarriages I was literally holding my breath for the last 2 weeks. I feel so much better today and I am so happy to see the little bean.
Questions:
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We just got back from a cruise in Feb and we are taking the boys to Vegas with us in 20 days! Other than that we may go to the beach later this year!
@fawneyes6422 If you plan on taking that vacation remember cruises wont let you cruise after 24 weeks. I didnt know that until I went on this latest cruise. It is crazy to me.
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I was team green for my first two boys and really considering finding out this time around😳
Upcoming Appointments: 5/02
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): No symptoms so far, but was also really lucky with my first two with no morning sickness either.
Rants/Raves: Not yet lol
Questions: Any other third time Mom’s worries about it becoming overwhelming!? Some days I’m totally pumped and know I can do it and some days I’m anxious about being outnumbered. Hubby is a firefighter and gone 24-72hrs at a time so I have a lot of alone time with the kiddos!
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? I hope so, not sure where yet!
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green (again!)
Upcoming Appointments: Tues, 4/30, 1st pre-natal
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I'm feeling good. Waves of light nausea / motion sickness here and there but nothing too bad. Been going to bed very early every night... between 8-9pm. Which is good because it means I've had the energy to do my early a.m. workouts.
Rants/Raves: Woke up with a stiff neck and sore left arm today!
Questions: None
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where?
July... back to my hometown, MA, to watch the Dodgers vs Red Sox.
Sept... Kauai for 10 days. I was supposed to do a 10k Trail Race in the mountains but I'll be too pregnant for that, so will just enjoy our time there!
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Going to find out
Upcoming Appointments: First OB intake appt tomorrow!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): boobs hurt, tired, bloated, feeling nauseous in the morning and have episodes of gagging- pretty par for the course at this point based on my previous pregnancies
Rants/Raves: I have history of MC so will probably get my hcg and progesterone levels drawn and have a ultrasound next week for dating/viability. I am nervous!
Questions: No
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? Going to Chicago over mother's day weekend to see Hamilton- my inlaws are visiting us from Germany end of June, going to a Game of Thrones convention in Nashville in July and going to NYC in August to celebrate DH and I's 5th wedding anniversary so going to be a busy summer!
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: This Friday; 4/26, ultrasound because of my high BP and convos on high risk care for this pregnancy.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I already feel like a mac truck ran me over but I think it's mostly related to the new BP meds I had to start last week.
Rants/Raves: see above LOl I wont go into it all!
Today is my DH birthday so me and the kids will take him to dinner, which means I dont have to cook!
Questions: ladies who have had ultrasounds already did they get it via belly or did they have to do vaginal ultrasound?
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We have two vacations planned one in June fishin and chilling on the lake and one in July to do some sight seeing.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: First US May 1
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): crampy, hungry, thirsty, nipples are so sore and this morning woke up to really strange orange blotches on hands and feet
Rants/Raves: I'm frustrated with my doctor! Not getting information I'm curious about from blood work.
Questions: what's everyones opinion on midwife vs OB?
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where?
I was just in Mexico last month (also a worry because of zika) likely wont be going anywhere for a long time. Just trips to the cottage this summer!
Due Date / Weeks + Days: December 13 / 6w5d
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM+
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: We have an u/s and appointment with RE tomorrow, and first appointment with OB on the 30th.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I am absolutely exhausted. By mid-afternoon I can hardly keep my eyes open. Sore boobs and hips, hungry but nothing appeals, heartburn. Ah, the joys
Rants/Raves: Starting a new job this week probably hasn't helped with the exhaustion and I'm not super impressed with the management, but I just keep telling myself I'll hopefully be leaving in a few months!
Questions:
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We're going to Denmark this summer with the kids. That's going to be a loooong flight!
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: Friday April 26th I have an exam. May 9th is first ultrasound/heartbeat.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): bloated! Boobs hurt, nausea has eased a bit.
Rants/Raves: my mom wont stop sending me pictures of onesies she wants to make and other baby stuff! I had a miscarriage last pregnancy and while I'm excited, I'm also cautious still.
Questions:
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We want to take our son to the beach. We also have plans to go camping this summer. And my sister is getting married!
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: we were team green with the other two but I think we will find out this time
Upcoming Appointments: 1st appt on May 13th, anxiously awaiting. We told our parents and are taking family photos this weekend and if my sign arrives will take a pic to have for announcing to the rest of the world after first tri. Since I haven’t had an appt at all yet this makes me pretty nervous but it was so much harder to try to keep a secret this time around and we are really close (physically also!) to our families.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): exhausted, a little nausea, food aversions kicking in this week and super sore boobs. I also struggle with migraines so not being able to take my prescription for that has left me miserable a few days.
Rants/Raves: totally with you on becoming a mom to 3, the thought of going out in public terrifies me! @mrsheatherortiz
Questions: none
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? No plans, saving up PTO for mat leave. My H teaches so is off all summer with the kids. We are fortunate to have both sides of the family who have lake homes so we will spend most of our weekends between the two.
@sdegrootmom3 My US at 6w3d was T/v
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: totally finding out. I don’t do well with surprises.
Upcoming Appointments: my third ultrasound on 5/8. I’ve had 2 ultrasounds already to confirm viability given my history and high risk of miscarriage.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): feel like shit. The nausea has been worse this pregnancy. No cravings but the only thing that helps is Sprite.
Rants/Raves: nothing I can think of.
Questions: anyone ever not been excited by a pregnancy? This one caught us off guard and I’m still not woo about it at all.
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? Yes. Beach; maybe some international travel to Europe this fall.
FTM/STM/TTM+: ftm
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out
Upcoming Appointments: ultrasound tomorrow!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): tired, sore breast, hair loss, irritability
Rants/Raves: finally preggo after 2 years and 10 months of infertility... And it happened naturally, go figure.
Questions: what are the best prenatal vitamins? Have you changed your diet?
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where: nothing planned yet. Just got back from Europe.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM (lost two from miscarriage and a chem)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: green! (Although my tcm took my pulse and said it's likely to be pink!)
Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow! Second scan cos my first scan 9 days ago was too early. Praying to see and hear strong heartbeat tomorrow.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): frequent urination (up to pee at least twice at night), sore nips, fatigue, occasional gagging when i smell certain things.
Rants / raves: bit anxious after losing two but taking things easy.. so hard trying not to yawn at work so often cos still hiding this from colleagues till it's stabilized!
Questions: anyone else still testing on their kits? Bit paranoid so i test every 4-5 days or so to get some assurance, thankfully it's been showing up strong so hope it stays this way!
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? I live in Asia, so likely a small one to a nearby island then maybe to Aussie for a week? They say baby stuff's cheap there!
If you're debating between OB or midwife I would encourage you to have a consultation with each and decide which you're more comfortable with.
I agree with you both I am scared out of my mind, which is part of the reason it took 2.5 years to decide to have a 3rd. Then it took 2.5 more to conceive so I am really starting over and love my sleep at night. Plus both my older 2 need to be moved to the basement but we need to finish the bathroom down there first. I am freaking out about how it's all going to get done... some of the "to dos" have been on there for few months...okay, okay....years.
Overwhelming to think how fast (yet slow) these 9 months will go!
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM! Freaking out.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Green! My inclination was to find out but my partner talked me into waiting.
Upcoming Appointments: 10-week OB appointment on 5/14 (my 33rd birthday!). I had an ultrasound to confirm due date at 6 weeks 4 days. Test results said everything looked normal, but no comment on heartbeat so guessing they couldn't see one.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Nauseous, tired, only interested in extremely plain foods.
Rants/Raves: Can't WAIT to get through the 1st trimester so that I can tell more people — and hopefully I'll stop Googling miscarriage odds by day.
GTKY: No vacation plans for me! Lotsssssss of weddings this summer tho, so hopefully I'll be showing enough to avoid people constantly offering me booze.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out! But not telling anyone when we do. Our little secret. 🙂
Upcoming Appointments: First ultrasound Monday morning! So stoked.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Some morning sickness, but luckily not every day or all day. Been craving red meat and cookie dough and cheese...God bless my wonderful husband who made philly cheesesteak sandwiches for dinner and bought cookie dough ice cream.
Rants/Raves: Coworkers called me out on being pregnant yesterday, lol. Apparently that's what happens when you work in close proximity to 6 other women, and they know your habits. Apparently drinking ginger ale in the morning was the dead giveaway, haha.
Questions: Recommendations for carseats for compact cars? Working with a Prius C.
GTKY: North Carolina to visit my sister in June, and Chincoteague Island for some good connecting time with my husband in July. It'll be wonderful. We also just got back from visiting my parents in Chicago last week. Mom screamed and cried (happily) when I told her.
