GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant?
Just like last time, I've been seriously craving the cold cut trio from Subway, as well as just deli meats in general, but I'm not willing to take the risk of listeria so I just have to pout about it.

GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I haven’t really given Too much up but have seriously tried to limit my carbs. So carbs.

How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Still lots of MS so got prescribed Diclegis, boobs still sore, lots of headaches but can't take anything for those, grumpy,
Rants/Raves:
Rave: glad I got to see baby and get a due date
Rant: They would not let my 3 year old DS come into the ultrasound which meant that MH had to sit in the waiting room with him. MH was/is mad because he took off work to see the baby and this will be the only appointment he will get to be at because of work.
Questions:
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I feel like I've lost so much energy so I'm not as much "fun". I was training for a triathlon and a relay race before I found out I was pregnant so lots of playing outside with DS which he loves but after the races were done I just don't feel like spending more than 30 minutes outside at a time. Also could be because the TX heat but even while doing chores or playing inside with DS my energy gets zapped quick.

How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): My digestive system is a disaster. Super queasy most of the time, major constipation, and foods that don't normally bother me are upsetting my stomach. Feeling some RLP occasionally.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I was a caffeine junkie prior to pregnancy, but coffee, tea, and pop seem to make my nausea worse. I had massive headaches from caffeine withdrawal.
Due Date / Weeks + Days: 9 + 1 / Due New Years Eve (12.31)!!
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: NT Scan on June 20th
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Still nauseous, still exhausted.
Rants/Raves: Really starting to get excited about this pregnancy. We had a really great 8 week ultrasound -- baby was measuring 1 day bigger, with a strong HB at 165! No rants right now.
Questions:
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Sushi. I LOVE me some raw spicy tuna! I know some people still eat Sushi, but I don't trust the sushi in Austin (TX) as much as I did living on the coast in California.

FTM/STM/TTM+:FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Greenish
Upcoming Appointments: NIPT bloodwork
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I'm feeling pretty good overall. My HCG seems to have peaked and dropped 10% in last week which my midwife said was normal. I'm still mildly nauseous, have a sore chest, and I've had some round ligament pain. Mood swings have been ridiculous.
Rants/Raves: I got a new bra and it makes my boobs not feel so squished and it's AMAZING.
Questions: I'm starting to wondering if the occasional spotting I still have is just a slightly different coloured cm? Can antibiotics change the colour of your cm?
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? Seeing as I literally make booze you'd think it would be alcohol, but that hasnt really been an issue. Resisting eating all the cheese and bread all the time? That's been hard.
Due Date / Weeks + Days: 12/28, 9 weeks 6 days
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out!
Upcoming Appointments: June 21, had an US at 7 weeks with everything looking good
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Still tired, which is frustrating because I know my toddler can tell Mom's not in the mood to play after working a full day. Some mild nausea, mostly while cooking. Want to eat all the Cheetos, all the time!!
Rants/Raves: Surprisingly none? Which must be a fluke.
Questions: Nope
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I'm in the South and it's hotter than fire, and I'll be honest I'd really love a margarita. 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe I missed it somewhere but do you work in a brewery/winery?
Also laughing at "greenish", what does that mean?!
Re: greenish - DH and I are in a lively debate about whether to find out the sex of not. And by lively debate I mean everytime it comes up he acts surprised about me not want to know 😂
Due Date / Weeks + Days: 12/29
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding our for sure
Upcoming Appointments: Saturday! So excited.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I feel miserable. Past pregnancies I’ve thrown up way more, but I feel so much worse all the time with this one. I have ZERO energy. I’ll get 10 hours of sleep, take a 3 hour nap, and still want more sleep.
Rants/Raves: I just put our air conditioning units in our bedrooms last weekend. Why did I not do this earlier?! Pregnancy makes me extra warm I think.
Questions: none at this time
GTKY: What's the hardest thing you've had to change/give up since while pregnant? I don’t think I’ve really given up or changed much. Obviously the beer and wine, but I don’t drink a whole lot anyway. I’m sad I can’t drink coffee, but that’s only because it makes me want to throw up. Normally second trimester my body is cool with it again.
