How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?- Physically I feel like I got hit by a bus. All day nausea and am exhausted.

Mentally, I’m better from my freak out last week. I’m still scared of having another preemie but I’m going to try to be positive and tell myself the cerclage will work.

Any upcoming appointments? March 9 for viability scan. Still seems so far away

GTKY: Favorite tv show to binge watch - I do a mix of Parks and Rec, The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine depending what sounds good at the time

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Dude, @p@ProfessorMcGonagall I am right there with you in feeling like I got hit by a bus. I have all of the symptoms I had mentioned previously (shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, frequent urination, etc) but now am feeling so run-down combined with major nausea and food aversions (no throwing up). I almost called out of work this morning, but we're short-staffed this week, so I came in anyway.

Any upcoming appointments? March 23rd for our first US.

GTKY: Favorite tv show to binge watch. Well, it used to be GoT before the writers royally screwed up the final season, so I haven't watched it since. Then it was Friends, before they took it off Netflix. Lately I've been bingeing old episodes of Forensic Files.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? My symptoms are still really mild, they were last pregnancy too. My biggest symptom was sensitive smell, but being sick that’s non-existent.
I’m still feeling like something is definitely going to go wrong. I have no symptoms to make me think something is wrong, but I till feel that way. Completely irrational. At some point I convinced myself I might have an ectopic pregnancy... why? Absolutely no reason. 🙄 I hope these feelings of dread go away at my appointment.

Any upcoming appointments? Still waiting for March 3rd. (Just one more week!)

I don’t really have a favorite to binge, but I have favorites. The Office, Star Trek:TNG, IT Crowd, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

babyodo · February 2020

@deaddahliah - I had myself convinced of the same! I was even Googling symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy because I was so worried. Now, I'm pretty sure it was either just gas or constipation, lol.

profmcgonagall · February 2020

@deaddahliah, I do the same thing.
Always convincing myself the worst is happening.

Just curious, if your screen name a reference to the black dahlia?

deaddahliah · February 2020

@profmcgonagall no. It’s a completely and utterly nerdy name. 🙈 Before I got pregnant with mini I was an avid World of Warcraft player, I raided 5 or 6 nights a week. One of my favorite characters to play was my undead priest named Dahliah. I just started using her as a user name because it was available most places.

NME44 · February 2020

How far along: 5 and 1 or just 5. I think I told my doctor January 20 so that makes me just 5. I kind of forgot which day my last cycle started.

How are you feeling mentally/emotionally: I think I’m feeling okay right now. Symptoms is gas every night, and I think I’m more tired than usual. But that’s all.

Any upcoming appts: I have my first ultrasound at 9 weeks on March 25. That’s over 4 weeks from now, when I originally thought it would be the week before. At first I was really bummed but then I realized if the pregnancy isn’t going to go well, it doesn’t matter when the ultrasound is, as no one can do anything about it anyway. Also, considering we weren’t going to try until September and this is kind of an oops baby, I’m not in a situation where I need to know ASAP because I’d want to start trying again right away. So I’m trying to just relax and enjoy each day.

Favorite TV show to binge watch: I usually don’t rewatch anything, except Friends. I recently binge watched You, which was a good one, and when I was on maternity leave with my first I binged Supernatural. I haven’t kept up in a couple of years though, so I was considering bingeing that one again.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Tired, queasy, sore boobs and bloated like a mofo.

Any upcoming appointments? Preliminary NP appointment on 3/6 and first ultrasound on 3/24. Maybe I'll actually see a heartbeat this time...never had that.

Just finished Call of the Midwife, at least until they put season 9 up on Netflix.

How far along are you? 5+3

PGAL story: first pregnancy is DS, then two MMCs since, so my dr is really babying me this time with serial bloodwork and early U/S.

How are you feeling? Fatigue, sore boobs, just beginning to feel kinda off appetite wise (maybe the beginning of morning sickness?)

Any upcoming appointments? Just had 3 HCGs taken and all were rising normally. Scheduled my first U/S next for Monday at 6+2.

Schitts creek... I am a killer... love is blind... the circle... really anything on Netflix. And I don’t binge these but I love below deck, bachelor, survivor, big brother, 90 day fiancé

deaddahliah · February 2020

@treebagel I loooooove 90 Day Fiancé! I binged all the old seasons, and I’m currently binging Happily Ever After. I’m so sad that most of the Nicole/Azan drama is done. That train wreck was so mesmerizing. 🤣🤣🤣

mdfarmchick · February 2020

How are you feeling? I’m okay. As long as I keep up with the bonjesta and Zofran, I can avoid getting sick. Some cramping. Sore boobs. Peeing a lot. Mostly I just feel exhausted and hungover. Mentally, this weekend just hit me kind of hard after all the drama last week with my HCG numbers being “low” and not “doubling.” I’m feeling kind of defeated and like I can’t carry a baby right now. I need to get out of my own head but it’s a rough week.

Any upcoming appointments? Ultrasound next Monday, 2 March.

GTKY: Favorite Show to Binge HGTV or Food Network is usually on at our house. So Fixer Upper, Hometown, Property Bros, Beat Bobby Flay, Iron Chef America... I’ve also been known to watch Friends and Gilmore Girls.

Kurtni · February 2020

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?

Main symptom is fatigue. Also having some nausea but not too bad. A lot of anxiety heading into my first appointment.

Any upcoming appointments? Next Wednesday.

I love forensic files too @babyodo . My current guilty pleasure is I didn’t know I was pregnant.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I’m not having many symptoms which is making me nervous, but my last pregnancy was similar with the exception of sore boobs that time. Mentally, I’m okay when I stay busy, but when I’m just hanging out I worry. I’m still obsessively checking the tp every time I pee!

Any upcoming appointments? 3/19 to recheck TSH and 3/24 for intake and US. I can’t wait!!

GTKY: Favorite tv show to binge watch? I binged The Great British Bake Off during maternity leave and my all time favorite show to binge is Gilmore Girls.

roxylovesastro · February 2020

How far along: 7+6

pGAL story: first pregnancy ended in a full term stillbirth (39+4) due to umbilical cord torsion.

How are you feeling: somewhat irritated, mostly due to the uncontrollable anxiety. Queasy all the time, but it’s not terrible. This pregnancy has weekly appointments/ultrasounds every Wednesday so I am trying to wait patiently to hear the heartbeat again tomorrow.

Upcoming appointments: tomorrow 2/26 for US and check in

profmcgonagall · February 2020

@knottie, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your US tomorrow goes well.

If haven’t seen the thread, there’s one that will tell you how to change your screen name so that we can all recognize you better when you post.

Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. Ectopic that ended in loss of left tube

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? So much relief to see the heartbeat. I'm still nervous till we get to 12 weeks though. I feel safer after that, I don't know why.

Any upcoming appointments? 12 week u/s for NT

GTKY: Favorite tv show to binge watch The Office and Parks & Rec

Early MC/D+C in May

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
I am so damn tired. I stay home with DD on Tuesdays and we watched more TV than I care to admit. She's got a cold so I tried to justify it with we both don't feel great. Relieved that we saw a heartbeat on Thursday though.

Any upcoming appointments?
March 23rd for NT scan
