Still on the fence about finding out. Was team green for last 2 now with 2 DS.
1st appt 5/10- I feel like time is going by sooo slow
Feeling really good which of course makes me think the worst. Sore tata's
Rants- When we will get a consistent nice weather pattern without rain.
Still unsure when to tell my 4 and 6 y/o and how?
I'm not a big reader but recently read Crazy Rich Asians trilogy and loved it.
Due Date / Weeks + Days: 12/23 6w
FTM/STM/TTM+: 3rd time dd is 8 and ds is 6
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out. I have little desire to be surprised.
Upcoming Appointments: Ultrasound on 5/7
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): cravings change by the hour. In general most foods sound gross. I have some nausea. I haven’t gotten sick yet, but I am getting more and more nauseous, so I think it is coming.
Rants/Raves: rave is I convinced myself to get on the treadmill. Rant is I got another migraine today. I think from my coffee aversion.
Questions:none
GTKY: what is your favorite book? The lord of the rings.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: GREEN!
Upcoming Appointments: 5/1. LESS THAN 48 HOURS TO GO!!!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): well I’ve finally experienced the nausea that lasts all day for multiple days and feels like a hangover. Bleh. Also, major heartburn. Never had that in my life.
Rants/Raves: Raves: I can’t believe our first appt is in less than 48hrs. It also means less than two weeks to keep it a secret from our families. Rants: can’t focus at work which is no good.
Questions: I haven’t actually thrown up from all of the nausea, but I’ve started to wonder if it would make me feel better if I did?!
GTKY: what is your favorite book? Harry Potter series.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Still undecided, but likely TFO
Upcoming Appointments: First apt 5/25...HOW CAN I WAIT THAT LONG?!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Still minimal symptoms, though my nipples finally feel sore
Rants/Raves: Why can't my middle school students turn in their homework?!! (Oh, is this supposed to be pregnancy-related?
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: what is your favorite book? Oh man, so many....I'll go with "Cosmicomics" by Italo Calvino.
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team unsure still
Upcoming Appointments: 5/1, can't come soon enough! @anniemarie887
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): so. tired. and nauseous. and no food sounds good, body aches, sore boobs, bloated. I've felt pretty good with symptoms coming and going but today I feel like I've been hit by a ton of bricks.
Rants/Raves: I'm too tired to think of any.
Questions: are any STM+ thinking about taking a birthing class again? Or did you take one twice and was it beneficial? I know we have lots of time to go but I'm already thinking about this... Bonus points if you've taken the Mama Natural Birth Course and have insight.
GTKY: what is your favorite book? Harry Potter is always a classic, recent read is Where the Crawdads Sing
FTM/STM/TTM+: No children
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Likely finding out
Upcoming Appointments: Ultrasound 5/1 - @anniemarie887 @ashorkey I agree it can't come soon enough, I've definitely been nervous about it this week.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Exhausted all the time and I can't stop wanting to eat Doritos
Rants/Raves: Rant - It's a really busy time at work and I'm trying to be good about trusting the staff to do their work and not get stressed. However, I'm sitting here reviewing files and see they missed really obvious errors and it's really frustrating!! Not to mention my brain/body is so tired that it's hard to concentrate
Questions: Nope
GTKY: what is your favorite book? I've liked many over the years...Devil in the White City is one of my favorites. Liane Moriarty's books are entertaining chic-lit . @ajdietz I bought the Crazy Rich Asian trilogy a month or so ago but haven't started yet, glad to hear you liked them
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: team find out literally as soon as possible. Our first is a girl so we either have everything or nothing 🤷🏻♀️
Upcoming Appointments: 5/14 - forever away
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): So much sicker this time than last. My DD is 3 and I was sick the whole time, but not this early or severe. Anyone notice it gets worse when you have your second?
Rants/Raves: going on a trip with my whole family on Saturday - going to visit Oregon. First big travel for my little one, should be tons of fun. This pretty much forced our hand at telling our families early, no way could I hide not drinking at a vineyard!
Questions: anyone suffer from seasonal allergies? I quit taking my meds because I am always so nervous to take anything in the first trimester but not sure I can avoid it anymore. Don’t see doc for two weeks!
GTKY: what is your favorite book? Harry Potter series 4ever. I should read more though lol
@ashorkey I have never taken a birthing class. I was signed up for one when I was pregnant the first time, but got sick and missed the first few classes, so I never went. I have considered taking something this time. It has been a while since I had a baby.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Finding Out
Upcoming Appointments: May 6th is out first ultrasound!!!!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Feeling like I have a low grade hangover all the time. Nauseated all day but still haven’t thrown up. Lots of lower back pain but my doctor put me on light duty since I have a very active job. And the sore bbs and exhaustion is real.
Rants/Raves: My sister is also pregnant and trying to tell me how to go through my pregnancy. And it is driving me crazy! When I have any doubts she calls me crazy and tells me to stop worrying. She tells me how to eat and what to do but then tells me how unhealthy she is eating and stuff. Like why can’t I have my pregnancy and she has her’s? Also, tells me that I’m so lucky I get so many ultrasounds in my first trimester. I’m high risk and she isn’t and she is acting like me being high risk is a blessing because I get to have ultrasounds. What?!
Questions: Does anyone else have someone close to them that is pregnant and how do you deal with it?
GTKY: what is your favorite book? Forever the Harry Potter series. Our baby shower is going to be Harry Potter themed.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding Out
Upcoming Appointments: first ultrasound less than a week away on the 6th!!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Same as last week, but with increasing thirst. Can't do coffee in the morning anymore because I just want all the water. The restless leg issue isn't as awful as before.
Rants/Raves: DH has been so kind and understanding during this pregnancy so far. I'm feeling very lucky. ❤
Questions: none right now!
GTKY: what is your favorite book? That's tough. Probably... The Art of Racing in the Rain.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: GREEN! (Though I am already asking my husband if he is sure about this decision bc I am curious now)
Upcoming Appointments: this Thursday! They better give me an US....
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): symptoms come and go, the main one being how exhausted I am. No food rly ever sounds good, except last night when i has a Wendy’s frosty with fries dipped in it...omg.
Rants/Raves: My Rave is that my Mom n Gma visit me this weekend so I get to tell them the news! I think I’m going to record their reactions as it is first grandbaby (this is all if appt goes ok on Thurs) Rant: I just hate Trump so much lol. That is all.
Questions: how does everyone calm down and relax about baby esp if you haven’t had your first appt yet? It’s such a rollercoaster, my first time I’m just so dang worried all the time!
GTKY: what is your favorite book? I recently read Feast by Hannah Howard and it has been one of my fav books ever. It touches on eating disorders, body dismorphia, all within a world of a girl who works downtown NYC at fancy restaurants. So good, I highly recommend!
finding out
Upcoming Appointments: 5/8 first on appt. 5/4 first U/S.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Okay aside from constant thirst. No cravings yet, at least none that I have noticed. I have been into more acidic foods lately though.
Rants/Raves: I am doing okay, at least today, just not to happy with my constant need to use the restroom.. probably because of my constant thirst.
Questions: Does anyone else feel like they got bigger overnight? I mentioned this previously, but again today I promise there is a very noticeable bump emerging. This may be because of the amount of times I have been pregnant, but I just feel it is too soon. ( I have had early bumps previously, but not at 7 weeks)
GTKY: what is your favorite book? My favorite book is cereal murders by Dianne Mott Davidson. I also love the entire Goldy Bear/Shultz series. I also love anything written by Charlaine Harris ( I hope I didn't butcher her name.) or Dean Koontz ( Odd Thomas is another favorite).
I did did get a message from my midwife today via their system saying she got the results, congrats, and she’ll see me in a few weeks.
I would encourage you to do research and consult with both if you can't decide. There are some good books and documentaries out there about midwives too.
I did have high blood pressure. I think it's from all the stress but they are going to watch it and put me on medication if it doesn't get better soon.
I have mild morning sickness now but lots of food aversions. Made the hubby chicken fajitas last night and couldn't stand the smell or even eat the homemade guacamole I made. All I seem to want to eat is breakfast foods. Bagels, toast, eggs, potatoes, waffles. All breakfast, all day 😂
@ashorkey thank you so much, I will def contact the med group I’m with about it. Had my first appt yday and it couldn’t have gone better, really feeling positive vibes now that I really liked my doctor and all the staff.
