Re: Group 2 (June 7-13) Weekly Check In | Week of 10.21
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Still in discussion.
Baby is the size of a(n): Tic Tac
Upcoming appointments: One week to go.
How are you feeling? Tired, nauseous, inappetent, regretting most things I eat. But apprehensive. The rest I can deal with. I just swing from feeling excited about next week to being really pessimistic about it and *TW*ish thinking that this is my last week to be pregnant. It just feels like it couldn't possibly be this easy.
The back story with *TW* loss mentioned:
Raves/Rants: I've mostly had decent pregnancy dreams lately. Other than one about a huge spider that jolted me awake, they've just been entertaining and not bad. Last night I was tie-dying shirts for something. I also managed to stay awake past 9:00 and take care of some things. This whole last week I'd tell myself I'd do all these things once DS went down for the night. Every night: Sit down on the couch for a few minutes and I'm gone.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? We got some Play-Doh, Sour Patch (Kids, Watermelons, etc.), and I had some Halloween fruit snacks but I left them in the car to bring in later. H found them and has eaten a ton of them. So I'll have to rebuy.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We are finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): honey bee
Upcoming appointments: the 28th! first ultrasound! (also our wedding anniversary)
How are you feeling? extremely bloated! I look about 5-6 months pregnant. Wake up with severe back pain every day but it goes away. Exhausted. I'm cautiously optimistic and want to get excited but don't think I truly will until after 9 weeks or so.
Raves/Rants: Just this bloat! Its been here since week 4, went away for the most part for about 3 days but came back. I know I should be doing some exercise to help it but by the time I get home from work i'm exhausted.
Questions: Any other tips for bloat besides water and exercise? I've increased my water intake a lot (which isn't saying much considering i've always been terrible about drinking water)
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? We will be out of town unfortunately for Halloween so nothing from us.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: we did not find out with DS, but DH wants to this time so I told him we could.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: one week from today!
How are you feeling? Exhausted. So so tired. Cannot keep eyes open past 8:30. Starving at all times, nauseous in the mornings. Cramps the last couple days and my scar hurts. Grateful, and scared.
Raves/Rants: I alternate between thinking how am I going to get through first tri and I can do this, I can get through first tri. I’m so anxious for our first ultrasound next week and am looking forward to hopefully seeing a sticky little bean!
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? Nothing. Last year I bought a ton of candy and we had barely any trick or treaters! I was so sad. We are taking DS the giraffe to see both sets of grandparents and eating pizza.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We’ll find out
Baby is the size of a(n): idk. Whatever 6+5 is. Small.
Upcoming appointments: 10/31 (already had viability last Friday)
How are you feeling? I was not this sick last time. So sick. But yet don’t actually throw up? There’s gas coming from everywhere though! 😬
Raves/Rants: why don’t we have siestas like in Spain? Someone should get on the government and let’s just nationwide mandate that.
Questions: @cfawcett2 I like the Blogilates bloat video on YouTube! I always feel better after I do it. But otherwise, yeah just water, rest, and a little exercise. It does get better (or did for me first tome round).
@kiki75 I’ve been following along in the support thread. Don’t give up yet! We’re here for you and I so hope this is your sticky bean! As far as prolactin goes, help me. I breastfed until two weeks before our BFP so I know my levels would be elevated too and lots of moms get pregnant while breastfeeding. Why then is prolactin a concern for you? Long term exposure?
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween?
we had two trick or treaters last year but DH still ordered a pack on amazon of little candies but I think some melted? More Twix for me...

Postpartum Complications
BFP: 10/1/19
EDD: 6/12/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: 2 week viability scan, baby was measuring a couple of days early... doctor didn’t seem concerned but hate the extra little bit of worry, but then again my periods are generally longer and I probably ovulated later than I thought.
How are you feeling? Good, tired but happy to see the ultrasound and a strong heartbeat.
Raves/Rants: anxious about the next few visits and getting back the NIPT tests etc.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? As much candy as possible! My favorites are Twix and Kit Kat’s.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: probably finding out. We did green with dd, and that was great, but maybe we’ll try it out the other way this time.
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry I think. I mean, we all have about the same size since we’re in the same week, right?
Upcoming appointments: tomorrow. I had secondary IF which led to getting an RE which led to finding out that I have endometriosis, so I’m still seeing them weekly until they kick me out. They said that we’ll start talking about transitioning out at this next appointment.
How are you feeling? Nauseated and nervous. I’m still eating, maybe more so to try to settle my stomach or because I try to eat when I feel like it’ll stay down. I also am exhausted all the time. Looking forward to second trimester for so many reasons! (I totally hear you, @kiki75, about not trusting that it could be this easy. We tried for a year, then had about another 6 months of meds/treatment before we could try, and then we miraculously got pregnant our first month of trying again without any help from the RE. I just keep waiting for the shoe to drop, but I don’t want it to!!)
Raves/Rants: rant- I’m not looking forward to a long drive this weekend. Rave- MH has really been picking up my slack without any hesitation or complaint. Gosh I like him.
Questions: nope
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? Twix and m&ms, but we usually only get two kids.
@driftmd hooray for a strong heartbeat!! And if your bundle is measuring ahead, does that mean that s/he is bigger than expected?
@cfawcett2 I hear you on the bloat. Pants seem to be the enemy atm.
@chaos-and-coffee I totally relate to grateful and scared!
Baby is the size of: a blueberry, almost a raspberry
Upcoming appointments: October 31. Can’t come quick enough. I found out at 3 wk 4 or 5 days so I am dying to have this appointment.
How are you feeling: nauseous all the time. I have done a lot of dry heaving and thrown up once, but the nausea is always there in the pit of my stomach. And the heartburn. Thank goodness for Zantac and tums.
Rants/Raves: it worked out that I had 2 weeks off work here recently bc i had asked for vacation a while back, and I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow. All I want and can think about is seeing that little heart beat.
What are you giving out for Halloween: nothing lol, my nieces meet at my cousin’s house and all the kids go trick or treating so I’m going with them. We are in the process of buying a house and moving so I’m excited to hand out candy next year with my little nugget.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green:
team finding out! Really hoping for a girl and not afraid to say it out loud. Love my son and being a boy mom but it would be great to have one of each.
Baby is the size of a(n):
sweet pea
Upcoming appointments:
Had my first midwife appointment today. She set me up with paper work to go do some blood tests and a dating ultrasound in a few weeks.
How are you feeling? nauseas...so nauseas.
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween?
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: still deciding. We were team green with DS. With DD, we wanted to be team green, but the hospital messed up and put it in my online portal so I saw it. DH knew I knew, but I kept it a secret from him so he could be surprised. I didn't tell anyone else I knew bc I didn't want to be harassed about it. This time, I kinda want to know so we can clean some of our stuff out, but I also want to be surprised since I got robbed of it last time. So we will see!
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appointments: dating ultrasound on Monday
How are you feeling? Tired! I'm always hungry but nothing sounds appetizing. Except pasta and big Macs, but I can't live off of that 😬
Raves/Rants: I'm all caught up with laundry, woooo!!!!
Questions: none at the moment!
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? Nothing. DH and I are taking the kids out trick or treating and I refuse to spend money on all this candy that I'll leave on the porch for one kid to take it all.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We haven’t decided yet, but do love surprises.
Baby is the size of a(n): jelly bean ❤️
Upcoming appointments: Halloween for work and dating, 3 weeks later to meet OB
How are you feeling? Persistent, slight nausea, and I Sleep. So. Much. @allie392 amen to siestas
I was also surprised that I seem to have a general aversion to eating, nothing specific just food. So I’m trying the small bland meal system.
Raves/Rants: just wishing husband wasn’t away for military
Questions: are prenatal vitamins really crucial- I’ve read both sides
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween? Its often so cold for Halloween we may do hot cocoa

How are you feeling? Sick....🤢
Raves/Rants:
Questions:
GTKY: What are you giving out for Halloween?We will not be giving anything instead taking our kids out for trick or treating.
@dirftmd Same on the candy. Frozen Kit-Kats are the best!
@cfawcett2 I have no other great suggestions for the bloat. 😕
@chaos-and-coffee That sounds like a lovely Halloween! I always wish we got more trick or treaters, too.
@begging4abump Hey EDD twin! I hope your drive went/goes better than you expected!
@sheshe3386 I hope being back at work has gone well!
@MssyMmmy I used to do a candy split, too. We just don’t get enough trick or treaters though so I now I only buy stuff I like. Especially now that I work from home and can’t just offload it on coworkers. 😆
@lwhrmomma I’m kind of with you on finding out the sex. We were team green last time but he came so fast we didn’t have an opportunity to tell people we were so they tossed him up on my chest and someone used a male pronoun on him and I asked, “It’s a boy?” So not exactly the “It’s a ___ 🥳🎉” moment I had hoped for. But, they say the next comes quicker so we might miss it again anyways. And it would be nice to get rid of any ultra gendered stuff we have that won’t work.
@sleepingbeauty610 I’m with you on the just plain not into eating thing. I’ll be hungry and then try to think of something to eat and it all sounds gross. As for prenatals, I’ve never heard of them being harmful in normal use so to me, it’s a big why not if they potentially help. If your diet is basically perfect, they’re probably not necessary. But the folic acid can help prevent neural tube defects and especially during first tri when you’re off of a lot of foods, they can help make up for the deficiencies in your diet.
@baybaylove143 Sorry you’re feeling sick. I hope you’re able to find some things that help!
