Re: 1st/2nd trimester check in w/o Aug 19!
- How far along/EDD? 19w2d, 1/11/20
- How are you feeling this week? Was pretty anxious leading up to my OB appointment. Other than the massive 2-day headache last week, I'm feeling ok physically so far this week. Edited to add - thank you to everyone for your good thoughts last week. My son had some nasty virus and was sick for a whole week. He's finally getting back to his normal self so hoping this is all behind us.
- Rants/Raves? Questions? 2 raves - I'm finally starting to feel little movements and it's so exciting. I was really anxious as I wasn't feeling anything until now, or thought I was but it was so faint that I told myself I imagined it. Today I felt a few stronger thumps and twitches down there, which is what I remember those early movements felt like last time. My 2nd rave is not pregnancy related, but I found the best cereal in Trader Joe's and it's giving me life! Attaching a pic below for anyone interested, but this is all I've wanted to eat now for the past 2 days. Edited to add - anyone feel body aches the longer you sleep? Seems bizarre but over the weekend when my son was sick, I put him to bed at 8 pm and went to sleep myself as I was exhausted. Slept for like 10 hours and woke up feeling like a truck ran over me. My whole body was so sore! One would think I'd be all rejuvenated after 10 hours of sleep, but it was the complete opposite.
- Any upcoming appointments? Had an OB appointment today. Nurse tried to find the heartbeat with the doppler and all we heard was white noise, although she kept saying that was the heartbeat. Then the doc came in and put the doppler in a different spot and we heard it loud and clear! Always exciting. Next ultrasound is on 8/28 for the anatomy scan.
- GTKY: What’s your favorite treat/guilty food pleasure? Give me all the ice cream! I'm not a chocolate or sweets person, but I can eat ice cream every day.
Here's the TJ cereal I am now obsessed with.TTC - since 2014

I think I’m imagining phantom movements!!! I mean I’m not quite 12w so it’s far too early. But every evening DH talks into my belly and he has a really deep voice. I can feel his voice vibrate through my belly when he does it. Then for the next 5 minutes or so I feel like gas bubbles popping. But I think it’s all in my head!
@sincethelastday I feel like my average symptoms are trending steadily downwards - but when they hit they still hit hard.

- How are you feeling this week? I have been nauseated the past several days and I'm having food aversions (literally avert to eating anything edible) until hunger strikes and I need to make a decision. The bloat is also pretty evident.
- Rants/Raves? Questions? Raves: yay for maternity pants and naps after work.
- Any upcoming appointments? first ultrasound appointment on 8/30 (8w). Fingers crossed that everything looks good and we see a great heartbeat.
- GTKY: What’s your favorite treat/guilty food pleasure? i'm going to blame the baby, despite the fact that it is as small as a sweet pea right now! the baby loves fried food, so everything fried get in ma tummy now! I've had ice creams twice a week for a couple of weeks as well. I try my best to keep my breakfasts and lunches healthy, think salads, smoothies etc.

• How are you feeling this week? Tired all the time and eating like nobody’s business.
• Rants/Raves? Questions? Rant- This guy has been pretty strong in his movements for a few weeks now but we’re still having the occasional day where he’s quiet or not as obvious. Today is one of those days and while I’ve been feeling him he’s not beating around in there enough for my comfort.
• Any upcoming appointments? 8/29 for glucose screening
• GTKY: What is your favorite treat/guilty food pleasure? Any sweets but I really love gummy candies and bubble gum.
@Tulips29 Glad to hear your little guy is feeling better. That cereal looks amazing btw!
@emmasemm my dh talks to my belly too and it melts my heart
@sanpelligrino I joke that I would eat a fried water bottle, I love fried food of all kinds!
How are you feeling this week? Nauseous and nervous. It’s hard for me not to be nervous about how the pregnancy is going, but I keep thinking if I’m nauseous then somethings got to be working!
Rants/Raves? Questions? I had my first OB appointment yesterday, and no ultrasound! Last U/S was at 7w2d. Dr said I can come back in 1-2 weeks for an U/S, and then again at 12w. @Tulips29 @caitiemae you were right about the OB being different than RE!
Any upcoming appointments? 8/26 ultrasound
GTKY: What’s your favorite treat/guilty food pleasure? Right now it’s sour watermelon candies - my bff says I must be having a girl with all the sugar cravings, but we don’t know for sure yet.
@sanpelligrino - sorry to hear that the nausea has started for you! Hope it doesn’t get too too bad! And good luck at your US!! Hope it all goes well - keep us updated!
@k_mama91 - I’m not anywhere near yet really of feeling movements, but that whole idea of feeling activity and then more quiet periods is already freaking me out a bit. I also wonder how easy is it to mistake movement for gas or some other rumbling? (I’m assuming it’s a pretty distinctive feeling?). Hope your little guy is just chilling out, but you start feeling some more activity soon!
@LauraJon2015 - I have the same thoughts: if I’m feeling nauseous then I’m hoping it’s a good sign. Hope your next US goes well and provides more reassurance.
Man, I’m really craving ice cream and chocolate and candy now (@LauraJon2015 - oooohh, sour watermelon candies sound especially good!!)
@sincethelastday I really wanted to relax more once he started moving but it’s brought on a new type of anxiety. In the beginning its hard to distinguish but as baby grows the movements is unmistakable. Aside from my anxiety I love feeling him so I hope he isn’t lazy again tomorrow!
@k_mama91 I read a while back that if you drink cold water, it supposedly wakes up the baby and they start moving. I used to do this with my son when he'd go still for some time and I'd freak out so I'd chug a glass of cold water to get him to move. I hope he starts moving more for you and you can relax more.
@LauraJon2015 The nerves never go away and weirdly the symptoms can be such a reassurance. 6 more days until your US and I hope I hope you get the good news so you can relax a bit.

@Tulips29 that cereal looks amazing. I ate a whole box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch last week and have banned myself from getting it again, but I might try the TJs one since it looks healthier! Also I just realized I’ve been tagging you wrong every week! I fixed this post and updated my template.
@sincethelastday my nausea was better right at 9.5 weeks, but I have a friend who is 12 weeks and has been vomiting daily since 5 weeks. She got diclegis and zofran from her OB and says the zofran finally helped. I think even the zofran wasn’t completely getting rid of the nausea until about a week ago. Every pregnancy and body is so different though!
@sanpellogrino I have a friend who is a mama/baby nurse and she always tells women that you’re body knows what it needs in those early weeks, so just eat whatever you want until 14 weeks. After that you can worry about healthy foods. I realize that’s not necessary “sound medical advice”, but I’m going with it anyway
@k_mama91 my son was sooooo active all the time and I remember how stressful the few days when he wasn’t going bananas were. Thankfully I worked with a bunch of former L&D nurses and they would remind me that growth spurts can make baby sleepier. You’re close to starting kick counts though, so hopefully doing those will help with the anxiety. (I’m curious if your OB gave you instructions on how to do them....last time mine never did, even though they are recommended by ACOG as the #1 way to monitor for issues in the third tri)
Can everyone post with gender if you know it (or team green if you aren’t going to find out)? I will add to the weekly post

@PoeMasque I can’t remember if my doctor starts kick counts at 26 or 28 weeks but it’s right around the corner. Well see if I’m given instructions, I think last time I was told 8-10 movements an hour no matter how strong.
Also, mark me down for team blue 💙

@love112314 - I’m totally with you about getting excited to tell friends and other family! It just seems like time is going by slowly before the first trimester is done. Are you planning any specific way to tell friends and family? I’m also finding that I’m breaking out more than usual - another perk of pregnancy I suppose. I’m also with you on the steak!
@PoeMasque - I’m also going to find out the gender. Man, that’s going to be such a long wait!
@love112314 My skin has been horrible since starting stims and it hasn’t improved much unfortunately.
- How far along/EDD? 7 weeks 4 days
- How are you feeling this week? I have a cold on top of all the pregnancy nausea/exhaustion so that's fun! DH caught it too so we're basically the most energetic parents ever if you can imagine. My poor 2 y/o
- Rants/Raves? Questions? My only craving so far this pregnancy has been bagels and cream cheese! How weird is that? I would eat them all day if I could!
- Any upcoming appointments? I have my first appointment with my OB on Sept 4th, which is earlier than I thought it would be so that's fun!
- GTKY: What’s your favorite treat/guilty food pleasure? Definitely ice cream like you @Tulips29. I wish I could have it every day after dinner!
@PoeMasque I'm having a boyAlso just thought I'd share my ultrasound pic from yesterday! This was my last appointment at my RE! He was already so wiggly and bouncing around in there. Crazy that there's already so much movement at just 7 weeks!
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014

FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN
FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
@k_mama91 oh, glad to hear he's moving a bunch this morning!
@love112314 My skin got bad the first trimester. I had breakouts and it got really dull looking. Even now, my skin is nowhere as clear as I'd like. "They" say girls tend to give moms breakouts and steal your beauty, so when I started getting them I was convinced right away we are having a girl.
@wifeinraleigh28 sorry to hear you and your husband are both under the weather. I hope you get better soon! And bagels and cream cheese isn't weird at all...that's all I've been having for breakfast most days + tomatoes on top. Also, your ultrasound is so cute, the baby looks like a little bean! So glad he was wiggling around for you!

Our tech guessed (correctly) at 15 weeks that we were having a girl and showed me what she called "the hamburger sign" which is basically a patch in the scan that looks like a hamburger from the outline of the private parts. Boys, on the other hand, may often show the "turtle" sign which is basically an area that looks like....a turtle with its head poking out of the shell. I'm sure you can guess how that picture is formed XD
@wifeinraleigh28
What a cute little gummy! Our RE always remarked on our bean's movements and tried to point it out for me at our last scan (and my parents were there too so they were also remarking on the movements)....but I always was like, "Nope, don't see it" until around 12 weeks at the OB's office where she was having a -party- during the scan.
Summer 2015 - no BFP yet, labs normal, referred to RE
Fall 2015 - Summer 2016 - Further testing all normal. 3 IUI's -- BFN. Recommended move to IVF. Planned cycle for fall 2016.

Fall 2016 - Spring 2017 -- Break from TTC
June 2017 - Started IVF; egg retrieval for freeze all cycle. 9 mature eggs retrieved, 5 fertilized. 2 4BB embies on ice.
August 2017 - FET transfer both embies. BFP. Twin pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound. EDD 4/28/18
September 2017 - Twin B stopped developing; Twin A doing perfectly! Graduated from RE @ 10 weeks
March 2018 - Baby Girl born via C/S due to pre-eclampsia -- strong and healthy!

January/Feb 2021 - Freeze-all IVF cycle
March 2021 - FET of 1 PGS normal female embryo. BFP! Beta #1 156, #2 472, #3 1241, #4 5268 EDD 12/5/21 - Christmas baby!
"When all is lost then all is found."
@k_mama91 kick counts should start at 28 weeks and it’s 10 movements in an hour. Same time every day, lay down in a comfortable positions, and try to pick a time baby is usually active. If you don’t feel 10 in an hour you are supposed to drink some cold water or juice, walk around for a minute, and try again, if there’s still not 10 movements by end of hour 2, then call OB. ACOG actually tells you to wait “a few hours” and do the whole thing over, but i would be a wreck at that point. I asked my OB office why they don’t give instructions and they said they got too many anxious calls from women who were fine (insert eye roll here!). I always told my pregnant clients that if they ever felt like something was off or if baby’s movements changed significantly (especially later in the 3rd tri) to get checked out. No one knows your body and baby better than you.

@mbradfo2 those are excellent descriptions of what to look for! Much better than the two huge OB text books I have explain it!!! I’ve been studying because we can’t find out until after 14 weeks and we have a 1 hour detailed scan booked for 13+4 (incl NT measurement but also check for other anomalies) where I am sure the OB will be able to tell (but not able to tell us) but she will have to take shots to check everything is developing ok in the genital region, so hoping I can tell myself. Let’s see if that works!
@PoeMasque yeah US machines can be set up so different in their capabilities and settings. I have an old small portable one which I used to treat soft tissue injury to my ankle (unit was provided to me by the physio after showing me what to do each day) and when I was doing multiple stim cycles I thought I could use it to check on my follicles myself... haha haha... quickly learnt Nope, no way that was going to work. But in this case because the US machine really wasn’t powerful enough. DH wouldn’t let me spend 2k on a big machine (Luckily)

@sincethelastday I think we are going to hold up our onsies of our favorite college teams and the latest ultrasound pic. Or something like that.
@wifeinraleigh28 - glad to hear your US went well! I keep looking back at the photo and video I got of my LO at almost 7 weeks, because it still just blows my mind that I’ve got that little being inside! Hope your next appointment goes well!
@love112314 - cute idea with the onesies! There are so many creative ways now to announce a pregnancy!
@emmasemm i SCOURED amazon and eBay for used ultrasound machines with my first pregnancy because I could not imagine going weeks without seeing baby. Thankfully I couldn’t find anything in my “budget”, but IF really does mess with you! I would have never made it without my home Doppler though.
