    EDD/W+D: 2-13 / 7w4d (my midwife is saying 2-12 according to the US, and my OPKs & temping lead me to believe 2-14, but 2-13 is possible, so I’m meeting in the middle!)

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out (in less than 2 weeks!)

    Baby is the size of a(n): playing die

    Upcoming appts: nothing til the end of the month

    How are you feeling?: Full-body exhaustion, occasional nausea

    Rants/Raves: thankful to have 2 more days off this week

    Questions: none

    @kiwi2628 good luck at your first US! Sorry you’ve been so sick. That’s how my pregnancy with DS was, I lost more than 5 lbs in the 1st tri. Hopefully it passes soon.

    @kiwi2628 So sorry about feeling so sick! Good luck at your appointment! 

    @daffodil_shoe That's so awesome that you're doing that blood test. I really wish I bought it when you brought up the special! Are you doing a gender reveal?

    @imalwaysme79 So exciting your appointment is next week!

    @brookert615 we are (DH wants to), but not til after the 20-week anatomy scan. I just feel like technically I could screw up the blood test, because you have to be super careful not to get male DNA on anything and contaminate the blood. So I will feel more confident after I actually see a turtle or 3 lines on an US!

    @daffodil_shoe Totally agree with that! They have some places that offer the SneakPeek blood test in a controlled environment but it's like 129 bucks and I'm like meh... I can wait lol.

    @aleciaraez I wouldn’t worry quite yet. Morning sickness is associated with lower risk of miscarriage, but it’s not a guarantee either way! I had horrible MS with DS. It hasn’t been nearly as bad this time, but so far kiddo has a heartbeat. One of my sisters never had any MS with her 3 healthy pregnancies.

    EDD/W+D: February 12th, 7w5d

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team Finding Out

    Baby is the size of a(n): Bonbon

    Upcoming appts: intake next week and dating ultrasound on July 23rd.

    How are you feeling?: Honestly, weepy and worried. This morning I had an ultrasound, we saw the heartbeat, but I only measured 6w6d. I know it’s not an exact science. My midwife didn’t have a good view and only measured once, but still. My old midwife retired unfortunately (it’s a practice, so I’ve met most of the midwives during my last pregnancy), but she told me lagging behind is a sign of miscarriage, so I’ve been on edge all day (suppressing the feeling and not realising until earlier this evening). Also, fatigue has hit me hard today, which doesn’t make it any better. I’ve got an intake (without ultrasound) next week, but I might just ask if they can fit one in.

    Rants/Raves: see above :smile:

    Questions: - 

    GTKY: What do you do for a living? I’m a policy advisor at an association.

    @daffodil_shoe: how cool that you can do your own procedure! Will you share the result with us before 20 weeks?

    @FakeFinn FX that it was just a weird angle for measuring. At least you have a heartbeat to cling to!

    I will definitely be sharing here, since I don’t “know” any of you 😉 And it will be interesting to compare with the US if it’s correct. I’m looking at it more as an experiment. It will actually be easy to do myself, it’s just a quick finger poke (like those with diabetes do). I just have to be careful to use sterile technique so as not to contaminate.

    Upcoming appts: Today!

    How are you feeling?: tired, gassy, sore boobs, occasional nausea. Yesterday was a pretty good day. I felt pregnant enough not to be worried, but not so pregnant that it ruined the day.

    Rants/Raves: Rave - I finished my paper and am currently on my "summer break" from grad school!! Woohoo! I told hubby, "I have all this free time now; I can do anything I want. All I want to do is sleep, lol."

    @alseltzer Congrats on graduating!! That's a fun milestone.

    @noxacanthus Sleep extra for me! Seriously though enjoy your break!

    @burr1371 We live in Denver and I'm going to have to ask you some questions about how TF getting into school works around here- it's so confusing! Also a stomach sleeper and I stay face down until second tri, when I couldn't anymore I started propping a leg on a pillow to make room for the belly, and third tri there just is no sleeping- it's terrible! This time I'm not even trying to move from belly sleeping until I'm forced.

    EDD/W+D: 2/11 7+6

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Upcoming appts: 7/17 U/S and bloodwork genetic screening

    How are you feeling?: BLOATED, nauseated but not throwing up at all anymore, exhausted, boobs are still sore and seem to be endlessly growing, back, hip, and knee all hurt (achey joints in general)

    Rants/Raves: I look pregnant AF. I don't understand how this is possible.

    Questions: In the coming weeks, will I stay about the same as my belly goes from bloat to actually showing? Or is it just going to keep getting bigger from here?? (Last time it got progressively bigger week after week, but not until second trimester)

    @craftywitch it’s so hard to say, everyone carries differently and each pregnancy can be so different. With DS I started out slender and slowly developed a low, cute bump. This time I’m bloated AF so I’m interested to see how my bump develops.

    EDD/W+D: Due Feb 11, 2020, today I am 8w 2d

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Going to find out in two weeks! Can't wait.

    Baby is the size of a(n): A small olive.

    Upcoming appts: NIPT/Bi-Test in two weeks

    How are you feeling?: Great! I had my FOURTH US yesterday and the little SCH they saw in my last US was gone! Baby looked like a little gummy bear and I am just over the moon.

    Rants/Raves: I've been spoiled with weekly ultrasounds since 5w6d, but this time I have to wait two more weeks for my next so I hope i'll make it through that time without worrying too much. I FINALLY met my OB and he says that at this point there is a 95% of the pregnancy being successful and if he had a million bucks he'd bet it on that!

    Questions: Anyone else here with a tilted uterus who is deathly afraid of developing incarcerated uterus? I know it's rare, but well, i'm me!

    GTKY: What do you do for a living? I take care of Finance, Technology and Marketing for a Tour Operator in Rome, Italy!

    @kaeineurope hooray for SCH disappearing!! I was diagnosed with one at 6 weeks (had bled twice) and anxious about my aptmt Monday. Hoping for continued heartbeat and no more SCH! Edd- February 10 (though I keep calling her my valentines rainbow baby! Upcoming aptmt-Monday, “first” aptmt (even though I’ve been in twice because of a SCH) How are you feeling? anxiety starting to lesson after previous miscarriage as I get farther along. Very tired and sorry and achy! My upper back and shoulders feel like I’ve worked out hard core by end of day! Boobs still sore, slight nausea . Rants/raves: just that a pregnancy after miscarriage can’t be as wonderful and exiting as previous pregnancies :( i want to give this baby the same bonding I got with my two boys, Questions: anyone else having soreness in back/shoulders/neck?? GTNY: I am a teacher. Which has been amazing because I’ve been able to take it super easy this first tri with my SCH and bleeding. Have just played with my boys and not stressed about work! Summer is the best :)
