@mcano1016 right there with you on the zero to hangry scale. When I was pregnant with DD, I ended up keeping a snack drawer in the office and a snack bag in the truck. Come to think of it, I really need to dig it back out...
In my last pregnancy I found that getting a bottle of ginger ale and drinking a little bit and putting the bottle in the freezer until it became a slushee was great for nausea at work.
@almiller86@mcano1016 The nausea has started for me (mild, thankfully) but I am also still suddenly hungry out of nowhere. I didn't know nausea and hunger were compatible sensations! So I've started keeping bland snacks around me all the time--crackers on my nightstand, Cheerios in my purse--and I graze periodically to combat both the nausea and hunger. It's a little awkward because I'm a teacher, and eating during class is a no-no for students and teachers alike, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
@almiller86 as a mom of 14 month old twins...I love them more than anything but they are soooooo difficult. I’m nervous that I’m pregnant with twins again :-(.

Anyone else an Orange Theory member? I went today for the first time since I got pregnant! Took it easy and it seemed fine, but of course I worried the whole time.
@dontcallmeshirley1 Not anymore but I did it the whole time my first pregnancy and for awhile after. It's pretty easy to modify what you need to so as long as you feel comfortable doing that I say go for it.
My heartburn with DS was so bad that I took zantac for it. I also got super vomity in my last tri due to my cholestasis. I puked in the OR when they were prepping me for my c section 🙈 My neausea to coffee started today. I couldn't even get through one cup of coffee this morning 🤢 this is unfortunately a side effect that I get at every pregnancy and it sucks because I work a morning job as not a morning person 😂

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We will find out. We did with our last and I am glad we did.
Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming appointments: in 3 weeks for ultrasound
How are you feeling? Bloated and I get hungry more often but great otherwise.
Raves/Rants: I am moving this coming week so I am not looking forward to moving furniture and boxes all week. But am super excited to move into the house we built!
Questions: None today
GTKY: Goals for the new year? Mostly just get settled into our new house and make it a home.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: pretty sure we will be finding out. Kind of undecided right now
Baby is the size of a(n): sweet pea
Upcoming appointments: first appointment is February 6 I cant wait to see the baby and hear the heartbeat! I will be 9 weeks
How are you feeling? Pregnant lol. Feeling really peaceful about the outcome of this pregnancy (my last ended in a neonatal death)
Raves/Rants: my husband has been super supportive and helpful
Questions: any of you guys planning a cute way to tell older siblings?
GTKY: Goals for the new year? My main goal this year was to make a baby and we knocked that off the list rather quickly 🤣 next is paying off debt! Hopefully we will ge debt free by 2021!!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We haven't discussed it but I think we'll find out.
Baby is the size of a(n): M on an M&M
Upcoming appointments: Feb 3rd with the midwives
How are you feeling? Anxious about nausea, although it hasn't been bad yet. For some reason I am really, really anxious about it. Anxious about how we're going to manage life with a baby. Anxious about a lot of things really.
Raves/Rants: So much peeing. So much thinking I have to pee really bad but don't actually.
Questions: How can I avoid handing my baby over to a daycare when it's born? lol (Another current anxiety.)
GTKY: Goals for the new year? Buy a house. Get a raise. Finally feel like an adult?
@maa0629 same frustration about not being able to meet with any Dr till end of first trimester. I read somewhere else that this is partly because there's not much they can do anyway if there's trouble or not, but would still definitely love an info session!
@readytobemama I'm sorry, that really sucks! Are you able to push and get an appointment sooner? I understand that if something was wrong there isn't much they could do, but there are also lots of tests that they do in the 1st trimester that are supposed be done between 10-13 weeks other than just initial scans. It seems odd to me to push all testing until after 1st trimester. Can you switch doctors?
Re: Check in 1/9/20 - 1/19/20
@mcano1016 Yes definitely normal and annoying!
