Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team FO (Fx pink)
Upcoming Appointments: Dating US on June 17
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I had about 2 days with mild to no symptoms and then a huge wave of nausea today that lasted all day. Pressure in my left ovary.
Rants/Raves: I'm just so excited to be going back to the States for vacation. I miss American food SO much. And my friends... Them too lol
Questions: Is anyone else feeling this weird pressure around the hip area??
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I don't eat weird things lol. So... oysters?
@brookert615 I'm getting pizza and Starbucks iced coffee in NYC (Both of which suck in SG), seafood and my mom's food when we reach NC, and Jamaican food in Florida. I also need Chipotle as soon as I see it lol
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Finding Out! We found out with our first two babies, and decided to go Team Green with our third. That was hard for me because I’m a planner! So, definitely want to know as soon as possible 😁
Upcoming Appointments: June 27
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): The nausea has kicked in a bit, mainly after or when I am eating. Also, I’m really bloated and starting to get super sleepy in the evening. MH was annoyed that I was nodding off at 8:45pm last night. Sorry!
Rants/Raves: I’m excited to be pregnant again, especially since I really wanted to have this baby close in age to my third. This will be our last baby, assuming all works out, so I am trying my best to enjoy pregnancy. But, not gonna lie, already missing my white wine in the evenings (especially having three boys! 😜)
Questions: none
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Cow’s pancreas. It was disgusting.
@mslan yes, I sometimes get pain, pressure or twinges in my hips, abdomen or back. It’s always unnerving, but I think it’s pretty normal. I remember having it with my other pregnancies.
FTM/STM/TTM+: I am a STM with a 6 year old daughter.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out. I want to so badly to be surprised but can't do it.
Upcoming Appointments: First appointment will be July 9th
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I am feeling relatively good. Sore boobs. I had lots of cramping the first 3 days that had me worried. But those have subsided. Now I am just SUPER tired with waves of nausea, mostly after I eat. And I have some lower back pain as well.
Rants/Raves: My rant/rave is while I am SO excited to be pregnant again, I am terrified to do it all over. We have had our routine down and things have been so easy with the three of us for so long, and I am just scared how our dynamic will change. But I know all will be so worth it once he/she is here and our family will be complete. For now though, scared shitless. LOL
Questions: nada
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Considering I am super picky.... um nothing weird really.
@yooosara you can sleep on your stomach till it feels uncomfortable! I was worried about squishing my baby but I don't think that happens, lol. When baby gets bigger, I would feel her flutter around when I lay on my stomach... It was kind of neat! Tanning bed, I'm not sure... I just know you shouldn't get too hot. Things to avoid, I'm not sure if this is for us yet because there isn't a link between the baby and us yet, I think? But limit caffeine intake, be careful of listeria from deli meats, etc, some people say to avoid sushi and raw eggs... Etc etc
EDD/Weeks + Days: EDD Feb 6!
FTM/STM/TTM+: stm... DD is 17 months
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: team finding out! Since we already have a daughter, I would like a son. My hubby has already predicted we will have another daughter, lol
Upcoming Appointments: Jun 22 is my dating ultrasound
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): starting to get some food aversions to chicken. Last time I couldn't eat meat at all during my first trimester. Right now I crave red meat and eggs though! Maybe I'm anemic or needing protein
Rants/Raves: I spent all of my first trimester last time sleeping, from my memory... Now I can't because I have to take care of DD
Questions: how do ppl handle being pregnant and taking care of other kids? How will I take care of two kids? Long exhausts me as it is, lol
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I'm a pretty adventurous eater... I've had congealed pigs blood but it was tasty!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out. I'm an obsessive planner. Plus for me it helps bond. We get to pick a name and get to know them as that person.
Upcoming Appointments: July 1st
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Fist symptom is always very irritable. My DH becomes very very annoying to me. Now this week the migraines have started. Plus massive bloat.
Rants/Raves: We weren't planning on having more, so this pregnancy is still sinking in. I have no idea how I'm going to handle 4.
Questions: None yet.
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I am not an adventurous eater at all. So all my food is very boring.
EDD/Weeks + Days: due date according to ovulation is feb 3 so 5+3
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM -my baby is 7.5 mo
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Definitely finding out! Hoping for another boy
Upcoming Appointments: none scheduled yet but it’ll be in about 4ish wks.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): nauseous and tired. So tired. No cravings but I’ve been eating lots of chicken salad, crackers, and toast made with homemade bread because it’s not awful to throw up.
Rants/Raves: not sure how tf I’m going to deal with 15 more weeks of this nausea. I was sick with my first until 20 wks so I’m resigning myself to the same this time around too.
Questions: any of you nurse through pregnancy before? I can deal with the pain, I’m just worried about drying up. I’d love some tips/advice!
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Umm not sure. I like to try weird things! But I’d say probably fresh (cooked of course) pig brain when we butchered. Oh and everyone thinks I’m weird for putting mustard and honey on biscuits and gravy but it’s delicious! A lot of people who try it end up loving it.
@agesandstages really struggling with working out. I normally workout 5 days a week, but have been so exhausted that I get dressed and lay down on the couch 😂. Hoping next week with a lighter work load and it being kiddos last week of school, I can get back into it.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out for sure!! I have a boy and a girl already so I thought about being surprised but finding out helps me bond. Plus my kids can’t wait to know!
Upcoming Appointments: July 1st
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I caught a nasty summer virus from my kids so I’m having trouble telling what is sickness and what is pregnancy haha! Definitely very tired and generally less interested in food because it makes me feel a little nauseous and off.
Rants/Raves: other than getting sick, things are pretty great!
Questions: none right now!
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Cow intestines while in China. Wasn’t a fan but I will try almost anything as long as it’s not seafood!
FTM/STM/TTM+: This is baby #4. I have a living girl and boy and have a stillborn son.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: FO.
Upcoming Appointments: My first US is in a few weeks but I don't remember the exact date.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I have anxiety and the hormone change is driving it up. I am also getting randomly nauseous and I am super tired.
Rants/Raves: I am darn lucky and am so grateful to be pregnant.
Questions: None yet.
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Eland. I'm not gonna lie, everything else listed above me beats it. And I am vegan now, so most of it sounds extra unappealing. Clotted pig blood? Oh heck no.
@yooosara I think the tanning bed while pregnant is a no. Melasma is a big thing for some women (like me) while pregnant and it isn’t pretty. Since your skin stretches while pregnant, you’re more likely to burn and accelerate wrinkling with the sensitive skin.
Hearing about all of these gross foods makes me wanna ralph!
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*
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team finding out! My husband Is wayyyyy too impatient to wait that long to find out lol
Upcoming Appointments: June 26th
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’m nauseous all the time and feel like I’m hungover. Nothing really sounds good. I more so have to wait until I feel awful and know that i’m starving, so I choose something and just devour it. I know that’s not good, i’m working on it lol. I’m also getting mild heartburn, some swelling, sore boobs, and some serious mood swings!
Rants/Raves: I’m so excited to be expecting this baby and it sucks having to keep it a secret from everyone right now. It will have been over a month of knowing this secret by the time we tell everyone. My mom is going to kill me for not telling her sooner but I just want to make sure we’re both okay before telling the world.
Questions: None yet!
GTKY: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I’ve had alligator which isn’t too weird, but I’m definitely NOT a fan.
