Re: All Group Check In 5.20
(Cravings/Symptoms): Good most days. I'm still having nausea/vomiting a few times a week, which sucks. And heartburn.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Outside of working summer sports camps, my first "adult" job was working in a nursing home doing laundry.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I shelved books in our local library. I was also a magicians assistant.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Limited Too
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Pet store
@purplefan1 I too need ideas to entertain my toddler.. I've tried a few activities with him but he never seems to stay engaged for that long. I'm a little worried for when I'm on leave and I have to drop him to 3 day daycare instead of 5.
@ABabyMarshall I Have the same rant about some of my maternity stuff, but I just deal since its so much more comfortable haha. Probably technically I could squeeze into some of my normal stuff but why?
@Rawa1416 hope your nausea is on its way out for good! I just felt baby a couple days ago and it was awesome
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Shelving at the public library, and I was probably a camp counselor either the summer before that or at the same time.
I just feel like I am boring with my toddler. This morning I had an audio book going which allowed me to engage with her but not reach for my phone nonstop.
@ABabyMarshall I went out and bought maternity shorts and a pair of pants this past week. I had just donated all of my larger clothes and put my old maternity in storage literally a week or two before finding out about this one. I had lost 30lbs so nothing was fitting but now I miss those old pants because they were high waisted and saw me through my entire last pregnancy. I only bought one pair of maternity jeans and shorts last time around because the belly band and hair tie tricks made my pants last the whole pregnancy. Im rocking the maternity this time because it is the last time I plan to be pregnant so might as well enjoy the comfort!
GTKY: What was your first job ever? In high school, I worked at a banquet hall bussing tables a couple times. I also worked at a cosi restaurant serving. I didn’t make any money (waiter pay plus tips) and it was way out in the suburbs at the mall so I always needed a ride 😂 what a disaster.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Waitress at a mom and pop restaurant.
@Rawa1416 - Feeling all the same things. Some flutters but also insane back pain which I distinctly recall not having until 20 weeks.
@purplefan1 - I follow dayswithgrey for AMAZING toddler activities. I also have been switching between duplos and cars lately to get the girls interested. I made a cardboard ramp for our matchbox cars and that was the hit of yesterday until my 20 month old sat on it.
EDD/Weeks + Days: Nov 8th / 15w + 3 days
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I helped my mom do quickbooks for cash which is probably how I ended up as an accountant. First outside of that was my campus bookstore.
@purplefan1 a magician's assistant? that's so cool!
@ABabyMarshall yay for school ending soon!
@Rawa1416 aww for the flutters!
@creamcheeseplease lol at you and the sundae cups! I wouldn't share either
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I worked at a pharmacy after school in high school!
*TW* The genetic counselor seemed pretty concerned about my IVF history and abnormal embryos along with multiple losses, so I’m a bit nervous about her reaction, but I’ve made it this far so I’m feeling pretty good about everything otherwise. End TW.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I worked at Dairy Queen for thee years in high school and it was awesome. Still my favorite job to date 😂
@gumby22c I'm sorry you're still getting sick. Hopefully that stops soon.
@Rawa1416 Yay for flutters! I also had some back pain a few weeks ago that had me laying on the couch because it hurt so bad to stand. Tylenol wasn't helping either. Mine was gone after a few days so hopefully yours won't stay around.
@ABabyMarshall I am craving some of those things too. I am about to make a salad of veggies and eat it with some vinegar splashed on it.
@creamcheeseplease I don't ever remember doing bloodwork for spina bifida before. Is that something new that your OB is doing? Maybe I have done it and just don't remember. 🤷♀️
@cl4157 I don't think I have ever done a spina bifida test either. I'm thinking it may be something new that they are offering.
@dani_0921 I have had an anterior placenta with my last several pregnancies. With my third I felt movement around 14 weeks but it was sporadic and I would go for days without feeling it again. Then around 16 or 17 weeks I started feeling it more consistent. With my last pregnancy I felt movement around 13 weeks and was feeling regular movement at 14 weeks. Regular, as in, I was feeling her all throughout the day. This pregnancy, I have felt movement but it is still sporadic and nothing consistent yet. For reference, this is my 6th pregnancy.
@Dancer688 Yikes, I have never had a wasp nest inside. I hope they stay contained.
@mc0303 enjoy your visit with your sister.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I was a cashier at a kmart.
@Dancer688 I am so not a MLM person but I have to admit I love my 31 Utility tote for beach/river/pool trips. It’s non absorbent and easy to clean and big. You can find them super cheap on Facebook Marketplace sometimes.
GTKY: What was your first job ever?
i babysat throughout high school, my first “real” job was at my university bookstore.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I worked at my Aunts Garden Shop.
@emeraldcity1214 you know, I'm not sure if the bloodwork is new. I don't recall having it done last time though.
@Kurtni I'm having a hard time sleeping too. It's really making me grouchy. I don't want to buy another pregnancy pillow and I threw mine out from last time after my dog had an accident on it.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I was a nanny in middle school and high school. First “real job” was working at a sporting goods store in the shoe department. I loved it because I got a great discount on all the things I was going to be buying anyway!
GTKY: What was your first job ever? Bussing tables at my family's seafood restaurant.
Welcome to the board, I'm glad you joined in our group check-in. Even though most of us are carrying singletons, we welcome twin moms to participate.
@MrsStork Twins are so exciting! I'm expecting a singleton but I am fascinated by the twin connection.
GTKY: What was your first job ever? I sold swimsuits at a store in the mall! I did it for so long and I still love doing it!
14+4/ November 15ish
Massages- yes or no? I've read they're ok in the 2nd trimester but you have to go to someone specializing in prenatal, which we dont have near here (that I've found)... I've also read that it's ok to just go to anyone.
GTKY: What was your first job ever?
Technically my very first job was working in the concession stand at the go-kart races in my town. First job where I was on a payroll was waitressing.

Upcoming Appts: So because I’m high risk (age, ivf, cervical surgery/incompetence) I see my doc every 2 wks. I went last Tuesday and unfortunately he was worried about some cervical opening. So I’ve been on modified bed rest since then. Scary and it’s the holiday weekend! It’s gorgeous and it sucks not to be able to do anything but i know better to be safe. I go back next Tuesday to assess how it’s going. I’m praying all will be ok
How are you feeling?: the hardest part about the modified bed rest is that I generally feel fine. Heartburn. Some small cramps or twinges. Lots of RLP. But not much else!
Rants/Raves: it’s the first really gorgeous weekend of the year. And a holiday. I was planning on having friends over for a bbq and had to cancel. 😢. At least my hubs Ian here. My parents are visiting and some cousins are stopping by tomorrow.
Questions: anyone else on a form of bedrest? What did you do to stay sane?
GTKY; I grew up in Michigan. My 1st job was at Ford Motor Company summer after my freshman year of college. Mostly I made copies:)
