Team: Finding out
Baby is the size of the baseball from the Sandlot
upcoming appointments: tomorrow, just a regular old appointment hopefully I’ll be able to hear the heart beat this time easier!

How are you feeling? Pretty good I seem to be coming out of the nausea and puking but it’s been replaced with not sleeping well so there’s a fun trade off.

Rants/raves: I am finally popping some so I don’t just look like a blob!

Questions: really random and maybe TMI but I swear my nipples are already leaking something randomly, isn’t this too early?!
GTKY: ALL I WANT is hard cider 😭😭😭😭😭

mokay19 · November 2019

I posted this and forgot to reply haha

@mamaj1220 are you a first time mom? I’ve never heard of or experienced leakage during pregnancy so I’m not sure!

EDD/weeks+days: May 23rd / 14+2

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: green

Baby is the size of a(n): 8 oz filet mignon. I wish I could eat a rare steak now. Mmmm.

Upcoming appointments: Wednesday at the new midwife!

How are you feeling? Blaahh. I’m sick with sinus stuffiness and achiness. My nausea just won’t leave. I was sick til the third trimester with DD and I seem to be in that same boat.

Raves/Rants: idk if I’m mentioned this on here before, but my grandma passed last weekend 2 days before her 89th birthday. We had her wake and funeral this past week and it was perfect—Grandma had planned her funeral last year when her health started declining so we know she’d be happy with it. All 8 kids and their spouses, 26 grandchild, and 4 great-grandchildren were there. My grandpa (who has dementia) seems to be at peace with it. Everything was such a wonderful celebration of her life.

It was my mom’s mom that passed away, and my dad’s family sent SO MUCH Portillo’s to my aunt’s house to have a gathering—Grandma was very big on family time. Now, my family is 0% Irish, but we definitely partied like an Irish wake. In just bottle and can recyclables, we filled up the entire bin and multiple garbage bags full. DH goes “this is the drunkest that I’ve ever been at a funeral gathering!” Honestly, it was perfect for Grandma. She wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Questions: Not presently.

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
I miss a relaxing glass of wine after the toddler is having a toddler day.

But honestly, I mostly miss runny-yolk eggs. Poached, over easy, sunny side up, soft boiled, etc.

sevenn · November 2019

@mamaj1220 - i'm back to the not sleeping boat too, ugh
@mokay19 - so sorry to hear about your grandma! always hard to lose them no matter how much life they've lived.

EDD/weeks+days: 5/24, 14w1d

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green

Baby is the size of a(n): radish!

Upcoming appointments: part 2 of the sequential screen 12/9

How are you feeling? i am hanging in there! i promise i intro'd a while back and was a TTGPer, but i've had bleeding this pregnancy including a large bleed at 12w which has kept me from really digging in. still bleeding off and on, but all has remained okay in there so here we are. nausea is getting better but i am still taking the b6/unisom out of fear. poor sleep seems to be back. i also am having WICKED SI joint/piriformis pain and need to get a belt. didn't have it with DD nor did i expect it this early.

Raves/Rants: our hardwood floors are getting installed today and boy are they pretty. mad i'm at work today and DH gets to see them hot off the press.

Questions: nada!

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? the guiltless caffeine. i am sticking firm to 1 cup of coffee a day and maybe a soda. thank goodness for tea.

jrouge12 · November 2019

@mamaj1220 My nipples have been doing the same! Nothing outlandish but I wash, mystery substance back by the end of day. Didn't happen with my first. Joy of being a STM? Love and miss hard cider too!

@mokay19 Sorry about your grandmother. Sounds like how I'd want to plan my funeral, just a happy (boozy) celebration of life. I didn't really miss wine with my first but this school year has been tough enough that not being able to have a glass after a long day has been noticed.

EDD/weeks+days: 5/17 / 15+2

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out towards the end of December.

Baby is the size of a(n): Orange. Apparently today a waffle (according to TB daily fact, but I must eat big waffles).

Upcoming appointments: 12/9

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still get super tired by the end of the day and so thirsty that nothing quenches it. My heartburn hasn't been as bad as it was with DD but since that pregnancy I learned that peanut butter gives me bad heartburn. I ate it daily with DD. Trying to avoid foods that make it worse...

Raves/Rants: DD had a corneal abrasion this weekend and we got nothing done. She wouldn't open her eyes or do much more than sit on our laps. Getting the meds in her eye was...fun. It was sad, but now we have to catch up all the travel/last minute prep.

Questions: none.

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
Red wine and a medium steak.

chewie5990 · November 2019

EDD/weeks+days: 14W 5D - DD- 5/20

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out Jan3!

Baby is the size of a(n): peach or maple leaf

Upcoming appointments: dec 3

How are you feeling? good!

Raves/Rants: I just wish I wasn't at work! Rave - I got a full night's sleep last night and it was glorious!

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
honestly, I just miss beer. I pretty much still eat whatever I want..but most of our weekends were spent at a local brewery with my whole family or friends and I miss it!! We still go to breweries fairly often, but it's definitely not as fun without beer...also fall/winter beer is my favorite and I'm sad that I'm missing out on all the seasonal flavors.

mokay19 · November 2019

@sevenn so sorry about the bleeding, but I’m glad to hear that the baby is doing well and I hope the scans continue to show that! I’m excited for your hardwood floors for you!!

@jrouge12 I definitely didn’t miss booze this much with DD so, for me, it’s the fact that I have a toddler that makes me want to drink 😂

@chewie5990 stouts and porters are my faaaaaaaaav. I’m so sad to be missing them this winter!!!

catem07 · November 2019

@mamaj1220 My friend leaked a little with her first and leaked a lot with her second. She stopped bfing by 12 weeks and her 2nd DD is now 5-ish months, and I heard about a month ago that she still had milk...

louessbee · November 2019

@mamaj1220 at the risk of TMI I told DH the other day that my nipples felt crusty, so yeah, I think there's some weird leaking. I wasn't too worried yet tho...

@mokay19 I'm sorry to hear about your grandma, but I'm glad her life was so well-celebrated!

EDD/weeks+days: 14+1 (5/24)

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out at the end of December!

Baby is the size of a(n): Peaches

Upcoming appointments: Regular appointment this Weds. Hoping for an ultrasound just to check in.

How are you feeling? Tired, mostly. I've been really crabby.

Raves/Rants: We're hosting Thanksgiving this year, which I'm really excited about, but it's super hard to get the house ready when all I want to do is sleep.

Questions: None right now.

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Definitely sushi. I love sushi. The avocado and cucumber stuff just doesn't cut it.

mamaj1220 · November 2019

@mokay19 I am sorry to hear about your grandma, but I’m so glad the services were beautiful and what she wanted. And no I am a STM and I leaked the first time but I didn’t think it was this early.
@sevenn glad to see you, sorry about the bleeding but glad everything is moving along okay otherwise.
Thank you guys for the reassurance I’m not the only one with weird leakage!

catem07 · November 2019

EDD/weeks+days: 14.5?

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): orange

Upcoming appointments: a week from Wednesday

How are you feeling? Like my nausea will never end. Mostly better though, until evening hits.

Raves/Rants: I’ve gotten back to the gym! Definitely no where near my pre-baby abilities but it feels good to move again.

Questions: none

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant?
FFFC I don’t give up much food while pregnant. But I do miss alcohol (I do occasionally drink 4-8ish oz of beer when I’m out), but especially miss it during the holidays.

catem07 · November 2019

@chewie5990 yessss on the brewery life. And we just moved to Maine where there are so many good ones. We’re actually going to a brewery on Wednesday because DH has early release from work and DD will be in daycare still. My rule these days is I’ll only go to a brewery that also has some kind of food/food truck. Wednesday’s has a nice pizza oven.

lisush · November 2019

@mokay19 I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. That does sound like a fun way to celebrate her life though.

EDD/weeks + days: 5/18, 15+1

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): avocado!

Upcoming appointments: 12/5

How are you feeling? Moody and a lot of digestive stuff, reflux, gas/bloating but otherwise good

Raves/Rants: one of my bikini tops somehow fits (no other bathing suits fit up top now) so I'll be baring my chubby bump in Miami this week! Haha

Questions: when did those of you who are already moms start attending various classes and new mom groups (if you did) last time around?

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? @louessbee Ugh craving sushi so badly right now for me too. Today my coworkers ordered sushi and I couldn't resist getting some cooked varieties for myself, even though I know cross contamination is a concern 😕. Still not as good and I was drooling over the raw stuff. I dno if I can make it the whole way without!

chewie5990 · November 2019

@catem07 I don’t give up any food either! Bring on all the runny eggs, medium rare steak and deli meat! Right now all the Romain lettuce is pulled from the shelves because of a listeria outbreak but no one is saying pregnant women can’t eat Salad during their pregnancy. I find the whole food thing insanely ridiculous.

mokay19 · November 2019

@chewie5990 I think it’s to each’s own on the food and alcohol stuff. It’s more a matter of understanding your risks and deciding if you want to take them or not. I don’t find it ridiculous or wrong when people don’t have dietary restrictions, I just choose to have those restrictions because that’s my choice. I think some doctors agree that they’re not always necessary especially if you can trace the sources of the foods that you’re eating and some doctor disagree.

chewie5990 · November 2019

@mokay19 definitely agree to each their own - I didn’t mean that people who follow the restrictions are ridiculous but just what’s restricted vs what isn’t. And you’re definitely right about different doctors - my last OB was way more lax than my current OB! I Didn’t mean to come off as offensive to those who do restrict what they eat!

aneggnamedalex · November 2019

EDD/weeks+days: May 23rd / 14 + 3

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out - Appointment on Dec 20!

Baby is the size of a(n): Peach

Upcoming appointments:Ultrasound on Dec 20th, checkup Dec 23rd

How are you feeling? Mostly back aches and insomnia

Raves/Rants: So happy that most of my nausea and food aversions have gone away in time for Thanksgiving!

Questions: none

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Sushi and Med-rare steak!

brettanomyces · November 2019

I think my most missed item is a whole glass + of wine, since I still have a couple sips now and then 😆

Sushi, not that I can get it often anyway.

It was actually hilarious during my 1st OB appointment in my first pregnancy, the resident gave me the no safe amount speech when I told her I have a sip of wine or beer here and there. Right after, the senior OB rolls in and completely unprompted tells me a glass of wine every so often is fine.

queenklau · November 2019

Hi all, can I join this check in? The Group 4 is not so good at this (including myself...)? Maybe we Could we call this second half of the month check in? Or I can just join in regardless? I am a day after...😬

@mokay19, I bet is bitter sweet celebrating your grandmothers life that way. I am so sorry she is gone but it sounds like it was a perfect way to send her off one last time.

@chewie5990, I also eat soft boiled eggs everyday, and I have for years before getting pregnant, not stopping now.

@sevenn, I am sorry about the continuing bleeding episodes. Glad the baby is thriving in there, and I hope they stop soon so that’s you have some peace of mind.

EDD/weeks+days: May 25 / 14 + 2

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team pink!

Baby is the size of a(n): Peach

Upcoming appointments: December 12 for 16 week appt, I don’t believe I will get an ultrasound.

How are you feeling? I had a few days of queasiness come back...I think I am not eating enough and get nausea on my empty stomach. I probably need to eat constantly. Nausea was mostly gone until I threw up yesterday morning...
I get tired quickly.

Raves/Rants:Excited about Thanksgiving, but annoyed that I probably won’t get to eat one of my faves, stuffing...I can’t stand any kind of sausage and the thought on chunks of sausage on the stuffing makes me sick right now.

Questions: Anyone self-conscious of the emerging bump? Last time with DD1, 15 weeks came along and I started flaunting it. This time, I continue to hide it at work, not sure why, all the people that need to know, know already...

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Sushi, sushi and a large glass of wine, especially after that toddler day ( @mokay19

)!

mokay19 · November 2019

@brettanomyces yes, I still taste test everything that DH drinks. But I know if I have more, then I’ll just waaaaant more haha. It was much harder avoiding sushi last pregnancy when we lived on the Pacific coast

@queenklau you’re welcome to join here! And I completely agree about the bump hiding this time around. At this point last pregnancy I was like purposely wearing tight clothes to make sure people saw. Now I’m living in loose stuff. Maybe because I feel so much bigger at this point...? But also, I’ve said this somewhere else before so sorry if it’s repeating, but I’ve had an outtie belly button my whole life. Very much out. And after pregnancy with DD it stayed even further out. So now that I have bloat/belly, it looks like I should be 30 weeks pregnant since people think my belly button already popped... when in reality it’s always been like that.

Also, I’m the only female in my office so I already get treated differently and just don’t want that to get worse if I “flaunt” it.

queenklau · November 2019

@mokay19, Yup I know what you mean. I recently changed departments and I feel almost guilty that I am pregnant so soon after changing roles. I had been trying for 9 months so it wasn’t intentional. I’ll get over it soon, but for now I feel blessed but don’t want to announce it broadly.

mokay19 · November 2019

@queenklau yes! At my last job, I conceived after a month of starting there... but we had been going through fertility treatments and i wasn’t willing to take a break just because of the new job. However, that workplace was a very different atmosphere than here and everyone was younger and much more accepting to me just being a whale working with them. I actually think they respected me more because it didn’t slow me down and i worked until i gave birth. Here, I work with a bunch of old men that probably think being pregnant compromises my thinking 🙄🙄

Rave: I’m not hosting Thanksgiving and im
happy to go to my moms. She is such a great host.

Questions: Not really.

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Wine. I miss wine 😭. I’m making virgin bloody Mary’s tomorrow for myself. Perfected by a dill pickle spear for good measure.

mamaqdubu · November 2019

@mokay19 sorry to hear about your grandma. I’m glad to hear your gathering was perfect for her.

@jrouge12 ugh about the eye meds. I hate giving kiddos eye drops. It feels like such torture!

@mamaj1220 my boobs tend to leak for an insane amount of time after breastfeeding. It’s super common and I think depends on the person.

@lisush I don’t think I did birthing classes until 6+ months, but this time around I just started a prenatal yoga class and I’ve loved it already!

mamaj1220 · November 2019

@mamaqdubu yeah my midwife said well it is your second pregnancy so I often people leak earlier, thanks body thanks 😂

brettanomyces · November 2019

I’m one of those people that do not leak at all ever. I had no idea it was a thing until I saw moms talking about using the haka pump while nursing 🤷🏻‍♀️

sunshinesea22 · November 2019

@mokay So sorry about your grandma. I know it’s kinda lame and doesn’t make up for your loss, but I find memories to bring a lot of smiles when I’m missing my grandparents

@chewie5990 Give me all the delicious full bodied dark beers in fall and winter! Though my aging GI system can’t seem to process beer without getting bloated and generally blarghy

@lisush Flaunt that bump momma!!!

@queenklau Welcome!! You can join any time!

EDD/weeks+days: 5/19 15+4

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out Thursday!

Baby is the size of a(n): Naval orange

Raves/Rants: Thanksgiving was very nice. We have a busy weekend with my sister and BIL in town from the west coast so we have rapid fire family events all weekend so they can visit everyone and celebrate BIL’s 30th birthday. My sister and I married brothers so my BIL is MH’s brother. So we’re seeing as many of both families as physically possible in 3 days. It’s busy but fun.

Questions: Not really

GTKY: What’s your most-missed item, food, or drink while pregnant? Guilt free wine. I know a little bit isn’t going to hurt but I still feel slightly guilty. I’ve only had a sip here and there. Then had a few ounces on Thanksgiving and I felt guilty, but I miss wine.
