Upcoming Appointments: Friday!!!
How are you feeling?: Nauseated, super sore boobs, fatigued, and just started feeling lightheaded! But grateful to have symptoms because I’m still in disbelief lol.
Rants/Raves: Had a good birthday weekend! I took today off a long time ago because I thought I’d still be recovering from my 30th 😂.
Questions: I don’t think so!
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I LOVE summer. Just the vibe and the being warm to the bone! But I do love Christmas!
@glynch0303 I’m not doing anything different with my skin products. But I have mostly all natural for the most part. I think you’re fine with makeup but I think there’s something with anti-aging products? Maybe some of the other ladies might know for sure!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Green (hopefully )
Baby is the size of a(n): sesame seed
Upcoming Appointments: Ultrasound Monday 6/24
How are you feeling?: Constant mild nausea, sore boobs, exhausted and thirsty all of the time.
Rants/Raves: It is very hard not to share the news with anyone but because of my history I am waiting until after my ultrasound next week. I get nervous every time I am around my parents because I am waiting for them to offer me wine (which I never say no to lol).
Questions: None yet
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I love the fall, the cool (hoodie) weather and the smell of leaves. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: Est due date 2/15/2020, 5 weeks 2 days
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: can't wait to find out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Lentil
Upcoming Appointments: 6/26 with a nurse to do labs, answer questions, etc. My Dr won't see me until I'm 10-12 weeks!!
How are you feeling?: Just sore breasts so far. No nausea yet. Honestly praying for some other symptoms, like nausea, LOL. Last time around I MC'd before I got to the nausea stage. I'm a little worried history is repeating itself.
Rants/Raves: went to a 4 year old's birthday party over the weekend and my husband was a hit with all the kids! He's going to be such a great Dad.
Questions: FTM here. What is something you wish you would have known the first time around, or something that surprised you? Anything at all regarding pregnancy, childbirth, Motherhood, etc.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Spring! We have long, snowy, and frigid winters in MN. Everyone is happier when Spring finally arrives.
@glynch0303 I use all natural/organic and started because I was pregnant the first time. I know that "skin eats" or absorbs what's on it so I figured I'd set the same standards for skin as food.
@malloryfrommn I was surprised by the fear culture surrounding birth. The horror stories and negative reactions to my birth plan were not expected the first time around. I combatted those narratives by internalizing positive and empowering birth stories from Ina May's books and the Birth Without Fear blog. I also took extensive birthing classes which I highly recommend. At least for me education and knowledge kick fear to the curb.
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: 2/9 6+2
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): green pea
Upcoming Appointments: WEDNESDAY!
How are you feeling?: Better! I got my nutrition under control and my bloating has gone down so my pants fit again. Only mildly nauseated, sore boobs still, super sense of smell, sleeping 10-12hrs daily from exhaustion, a few weepy crying spells happy and sad, low back extra achey, but overall getting life done and feeling upbeat.
Rants/Raves: All I have to say is that Wednesday there had better be a heartbeat on that U/S! I know it would have just started beating so we may be too early, but I really really need to see it!
Questions: Has anyone spoken to a prenatal dietician or does your OB/MW offer referrals to nutrition specialists? I was chatting with a woman who is an LC/ dietician for pregnant and nursing mothers and she had some very interesting things to say that contradict the common narratives here on TB. I'd be interested to get a second opinion/perspective and also hear what others have been told.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall and Mabon/Samhain! Give me all the hand-knit weather, hot coffee and cider, and freshly baked bread and squash soups!
How are you feeling?: Peeing a lot, get dizzy, lightheaded/weakness, sore boobs
Rants/Raves: DH has been super pissy with me lately, like everything annoys him and makes him mad. Maybe he is pregnant too? It’s really annoying.
Questions: none
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall...birthday, then Halloween, then Thanksgiving! And sweater weather! What’s not to love?
@malloryfrommn I wish I knew epidurals aren’t this evil thing that leads to csection. I changed my mind after getting stuck at 8cm for hours. Got the epidural, and within an hour I was complete! And now I work in a birthing center and I see this all the time. An epidural can help relax you to allow your body to do its thing.
I’m not saying everyone should get one, or needs one. I just know for myself next time that I want it sooner!
@daffodil_shoe Sorry YH is being a butthead! I totally agree with sweater weather! I’m actually super excited that we will all be super pregnant and able to wear leggings and sweaters!
Est Due Date/Weeks + Days: February 10, currently 6w1d
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team green, as long as they're healthy
Baby is the size of a(n): End of a match
Upcoming Appointments: Another ultrasound this Friday, then we'll know if we're looking at twins or not
How are you feeling?: Mostly mild symptoms, feel like I'm gaining weight and showing already, especially in the chest area (which i guess if it is twins that makes sense my body might be in overdrive) Just started getting nausea on and off throughout the day, and actually threw up a little this morning.
Rants/Raves: Just super excited the last ultrasound went well, it was the first happy ultrasound I've ever had.
Questions: Can't think of any right now.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Fall, I'm a Halloween girl. Just something about the way Fall smells and all the leaves changing.
@craftywitch you're speaking my language. I make a butternut squash soup and throw some curry powder in it.... sooooo good, even my husband the picky eater loves it. Dip some fresh bread in it??? YUM

How are you feeling?: well I’m currently in St. John so pretty amazing. Hanging with DS and DH at the beach for the past 2 days. Sadly I have MS that peaks around 3-4 PM and I’m breaking out horribly. But we took a pretty cute announcement pic with DH in the sand so that’s exciting. We generally announce pretty early (we probably will around 8 weeks).
Rants/Raves: oops. See above.
Questions:
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I love fall. I’m the most basic of bitches. I also LOVE Christmas even though I’m agnostic.
@kiwi2628 Weight gain is cals in & cals out even during pregnancy and nursing, GD is predominantly lifestyle related, after 2yo kids should only be given 2% or fat-free milk... I know this isn't what's accepted here and am now wondering what the consensus among dietitians is with regards to pregnancy, nursing, and little one nutrition.

@craftywitch good luck weds keep us updated! I have followed nutrition for a long time and came to the conclusion that no one knows what they are talking about 😂 I just try to eat a variety of healthful foods supplemented with a treat from time to time.
eta: weight loss is calories in calories out. You just use more calories when pregnant because you are growing a baby. I give my 2 year old 2% - was told by the doctor no more whole milk. Why wouldn’t that be accepted here?
Me: 38, DH: 36 Married Jan 2008 DD Baby Bells born Dec 2016 5 lbs, 12 oz, 18" so in love Due with #2 Baby Arya EDD February 2020
@malloryfrommn I wish I had known that there is no “perfect” birth story and that I would not be a failure for having a cesarean. I beat myself up for months afterwards even though it wasn’t my fault. Looking back now who cares? My child is healthy and that is the only important thing. So make plans for how you want it to go but be ready to accept a change of plan.

@kiwi2628 & @daffodil_shoe add me to the agnostics who love Christmas club! I was raised atheist and my husband was born Catholic. We were at a Christmas concert and I’m singing along to the songs and DH is like how do you know this music? 😂 like I lived under a rock or something! Anyway it has pagan roots so I figure it’s a holiday for everyone.

Upcoming Appointments: I had my first appointment today to confirm everything at my GP. They took blood. I should hear back in a few days! My next appt with a midwife is July 23. (It seems so far away!)
How are you feeling?: More tired, more sore in the boob region , still some cramps and some different kind of discharge.
Rants/Raves: I got my pass for our local water park and now am not able to do the fun rides! Lazy river for me! lol
Questions: What sunscreens should I avoid?
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? I love winter. I hate being hot and sweating lol!
@leksiL I think the GD and ability to control weight are more controversial, although I must admit I’ve been giving my 2yo full fat milk and chocolate and the other July2016 moms seem to be in agreement about full fat being standard still. I bet you’re right and these were just this woman’s personal beliefs, but I’ve never talked to a professional dietician about pregnancy or nursing so I’d kind of like a referral to see what they would say now.
@burr1371 I look for zinc oxide sun blocks rather than sun screens, but definitely opt for sunscreen and not against- I burn faster while pregnant and the hyper pigmentation is real (aka pregnancy mask).
Thanks for the tips @brookert615 and @craftywitch. I definitely have some zinc oxide sun block already and use it about 50% of the time and always on my face. The Target brand is just so easy! =( I am a relatively easy burner and I am def trying to protect my skin

the couch with the cats and being exhausted all the time certainly provides an
excuse to do that.
Questions: None right now.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday,
etc.)? Fall! Halloween, wearing handknits, school starts (not so much a factor
for me anymore, but I’ve always liked shopping for office supplies during the
sales), and the best food of the year!
@craftywitch I dunno about kids, but o never drink anything other than whole milk. There are higher percentages of sugars in the other ones that a) I think they taste gross and b) I feel like more sugar defeats the purpose of a non-soda drink
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Can't wait to find out!
Upcoming Appointments: July 3
How are you feeling?: Extreme morning sickness 24/7 for the last week .. I've been MIA from the board because of it.

I thought I had it bad with DD but this is already way worse. Also, have outgrown all but my sports bras already! Tired but I think thats mainly from lack of nutrition.

Questions: Just related to the spotting. But Google has told me plenty about that.
GTKY: What’s your favorite time of year (season, holiday, etc.)? Love the Spring! When I can wear shorts and dresses and finally go on morning runs in nice weather.

It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@brookert615 Thanks, lady. I’ll be a bit better when school lets out on Friday and hopefully will have relief after my first appointment. I cried before all of them with DS until he was like 20 weeks.

Sorry about emergency ultra sound! I had one Thursday. Turns out I have subchorionic hemmorage which has caused two bouts of bleeding. Pregnancy right after a miscarriage so I know the feeling of anxiety! Can only try and stay positive and enjoy each moment!
