Baby is the size of a(n): jelly bean?
Upcoming appointments: 11/18 first appointment, we'll do a dating/viability scan then too.
How are you feeling? Run down, gassy, greasy. Less nauseous this week, so that's fun.
Raves/Rants: I'm so excited that I haven't put on 8 lbs already like last time. Rant- already have a bump, and my maternity pants got put in attic a few months ago...and I haven't had time to drag them out. Down to 3 pairs of pants to wear, and two are sweats.
Questions: How am I going to make it through pregnancy without sleeping? I gotta hope my 1 year old starts sleeping longer shifts at night. 2-4 hour chunks isn't doing it.
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? 2 buckets to choose from. 1 is full size assorted candy bars (bought 3 different multi packs), and a teal pumpkin with non-food options-play dough, bouncy balls, etc.

Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: first appointment on 11/15
How are you feeling? Most of the day I am feeling well, just tired. Mornings are rough right now. I’ve vomited the last 2 days so I’m wondering if that’s a new first tri norm. I sure hope not but I’m thankful I’m home and not a classroom teacher this pregnancy. I’m quickly outgrowing my pants too. The blump is very present already.
Raves/Rants: it’s my hubby’s birthday & I’m excited to celebrate him!
Questions: none today
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween?
I haven’t thought about this at all. We will be in my parents’ neighborhood so I think I get to opt out 😬. I can’t eat any of that with my gallbladder issues so not having the temptation in the house is a win for me.
eta a tag
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): gummy bear
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow, finally
How are you feeling? actually, good. extra tired in the morning and evening, super hungry always
Raves/Rants: I love my maternity bra and this weather. no rant this week
Questions: how far into pregnancy would you find out if you were having twins? couple sets in my family
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? sadly we don’t get trick-or-treaters. so I buy my husband Reese's cups he can share at work
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry, which is exciting because this is my favorite berry.
Upcoming appointments: First US 10/28!
How are you feeling? Sleepy. (::yawn::)
Raves/Rants: None
Questions: None
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? I'm going to buy that variety pack of mini-bars that has snickers/milky ways/twix/etc. Though, no one ever comes to my door and I always end up handing out the candy at work the next day. We just moved this past June, so fingers crossed for my new neighborhood. I'd love to get trick-or-treaters!
EDD: June 5
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Green
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: second ultrasound Nov 4
How are you feeling?: a little tired, sometimes queasy, but overall pretty good
Raves/Rants: life has been busy and I wish we could spend more time being excited and talking about this baby, but it feels like I hardly see my husband most days - and we are keeping it quiet around our 3 year old. Things should slow down in the next couple of weeks.
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween?: only chocolate because that’s what I want to eat if we have leftovers!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: planning on not finding out - is that Green?
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: 3rd ultrasound at IVF clinic on Tues 10/29 (8.5 weeks)
How are you feeling? Pretty good! I was up with acid reflux til 1 a.m., but I think I know the culprit so I'll be avoiding it from now on so close to bed. Geeeez
Raves/Rants: started using my bella band today (!), and it feels amazing.
Questions: oh lawdy, as a FTM I'll have plenty of these later, so I think I'll just skip this for now.
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? No clue!! We don't get a lot of kids (30 tops?), and I think last year we did some kind of candy from the co-op. Honestly I'm not feeling super into it, so we'll see.
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry
Upcoming appointments: next week because I forgot my appointment at my doctors this week.... 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
How are you feeling? So so so so tired and also nauseous on and off, but nothing too unbearable. Also cramping on and off which I’ve had with all 3 of my previous pregnancies but it’s never not scary! 😬
Raves/Rants: Rave: hubby is watching the kids so I can meet a friend this Saturday. Rant:
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? We live in the middle of the country and rent the farm house on a farm. No one comes out here. Lol
Side note: I had a VERY vivid dream last night that I was having triplets. Made the mistake of telling hubby and he’s legit afraid. 😂 multiples do not run anywhere in my family.
Team: Finding out! Can't wait to do gender reveal cupcakes or something equally as cliche
Baby is the size of a: raspberry
Upcoming appointments: I have an initial workup with my midwife tomorrow. Was supposed to get it done last week, but they ended up pushing it back so that I could be seen by the ultrasound technician after a scary SCH bleed.
How are you feeling? My bleeding has slowed down to a small, brown trickle for the past 5 days, but I'm still constantly on edge. Overall my symptoms have been relatively mild, although I still have really strong food aversions. These days I spend most of my trips to the grocery store just wandering aimlessly, hoping that something will eventually sound good enough to stomach. I haven't exercised since I started spotting 2 weeks ago, which is a major bummer.
Rants: After I was diagnosed with an SCH, my midwife told me that she didn't think I needed any follow up ultrasounds unless I started bleeding more. The front desk then canceled my 11-week viability scan because I already received a scan at 7-weeks due to the bleed. The more I read about SCH from other moms and OBs, the angrier I get that my midwife is being so casual about it. I don't think that I need to be constantly monitored, but I think it deserves at least some level of attention. I'm going to bring this up with my midwife tomorrow. If she still fights me on the ultrasound issue, I guess I'll be looking for a new midwife!
Raves: I am so grateful for the fact that I have SO MANY healthy food options where I live (Portland, OR). I have had very little desire to cook anything over the past 2-3 weeks, and it has been a huge relief to be able to easily pick up food that I know is good for me and the baby.
GTKN: Probably a combo of large candy bars and non-candy options (stickers, toys, etc). We don't get too many trick or treat-ers in our neighborhood, so we like to spoil the ones who make the effort
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We are so finding out! Now sure what the colors mean?
Baby is the size of a(n): raspberry or gummy bear
Upcoming appointments: phone appointment 11/11.
How are you feeling? Pretty awful. Exhausted, so nauseous, my boobs are killing me and this week my sciatica decided to flare up. Super fun!
Raves/Rants: I refuse to get on the scale but I know I’ve gained more than I should at this point. I’m having so many food aversions that all I can really keep down is carbs and cheese. Raves: my husband is making my a grilled cheese and tomato soup atm... he’s a rockstar
Questions: do any experienced momma on here have an absolute must read for first timers like me?
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? We never have trick or treaters in our complex. But we are traveling to Seattle and will be dressing up as Rick and Morty 🤪
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Raspberry
Upcoming appointments: 2nd Appointment 11/12/19
How are you feeling? I have been sick/nausea and very tired, I went to the ER 10/22/19 to get an IV, they ran a couple of test and did an ultrasound. I have a small subchorionic hemorrhage but I have not experienced any vaginal bleeding so far. My uterus is anteverted (after two births I never heard this one before) & I have a fibroid. So I was home from work for about a week worried...
Raves/Rants: I'm always hungry, I can't sleep through the night because I pee at least 2 to 3 times. I was craving Collard Greens this weekend and begged my Mother to make me some. I just want to be home in my bed.
Questions: Has anyone experienced subchorionic hemorrhage or anteverted uterus?????
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? Nothing, taking my 8-year-old to a Harvest festival at church with Hubby.

@ttmills620 I had a SCH at 10 weeks with my first, he's now almost 3.5. Scary, but resolved. There are a few other people experiencing them now, in the Spotting/Bleeding support thread. Also, we did start a new thread for our check in for this week, just to let you know.
