Re: PGAL Check in 3/9

  • How far along are you? 9+0. They changed my due date at my US today. 

    Any upcoming milestones? We heard the heartbeat today! 

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?- I’m doing well. MS is better now that I’m taking medicine. We had our first US today and everything looks great! We got to talk a bit about plans for this upcoming pregnancy and I’m happy with how  things are going. 

    Any upcoming appointments? - March 25 for a class 

    GTKY: Favorite podcast? My Favorite Murder is my favorite but I barely listen to it anymore because MH said I can’t listen to it in the car with him or DS anymore. So right now Office Ladies is what I listen to the most

  • How far along are you? 8+1

    Any upcoming milestones? Nah, just riding out the 1st trimester.

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Symptom-wise, I'm doing okay. They come and go. Saturdays are the worst, for some odd reason. Maybe because I'm just so burnt out by the week that come the weekend, I am just done. Mood-wise, I'm a mess. Everything is aggravating, even the way people breathe. I apologized to MH last night for being such a moody b*tch. 

    Any upcoming appointments? First OB appointment with ultrasound on the 23rd.

  • How far along are you? 6w2d

    Any upcoming milestones? Get to hear the heartbeat on April 6

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Symptoms come and go which freaks me out. Nausea, exhaustion, sore boobs, especially in the evenings. And cramping/pressure which also freaks me out but has been happening since before BFP

    Any upcoming appointments? April 6

    GTKY: Favorite podcast?  I don't listen to podcasts.

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

    GTKY: Favorite podcast? I just started listening to podcasts in the last couple months. I liked season one of Serial and I like Office Ladies (the reason I started listening). Think I'll listen to a murder or missing persons one at some point because DH hates that stuff so we can never watch that type of thing, so I may as well listen.

  • How far along are you?
    8+1

    Any upcoming milestones? 

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
    Pretty good. Really thirsty and tired currently.

    Any upcoming appointments? 
    A few tours and a consultation with another practice this week. 

    GTKY: Favorite podcast?  
    Currently I'm enjoying Behind the Bastards. If Mr Athiest had a podcast I'd be all over that. 
  • How far along are you? 6+2

    Any upcoming milestones? Nope... just growing and growing

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Exhausted and ridiculously nauseous. Luckily I'm pretty good at stabilizing it, but driving has been rough. I'm lucky my work schedule is pretty relaxed so I can sleep later, but I still feel wiped out after only a couple hours.

    Any upcoming appointments? US on the 20th! And follow up with the my OB on the 27th!

    GTKY: Favorite podcast?  Not a podcast girl, but I am happily binge watching health documentaries.
  • *I do want to clarify for anyone new, that this thread is for women who have experienced loss at any stage in pregnancy. I’ll add it to the top of all the check ins as well**

  • @MJDsquared, MH also hates any murdery type podcast. I have to listen to it when I’m alone which unfortunately isn’t very often. 
    I‘m sorry that you are feeling anxious. I hope these next few weeks until your appt fly by. 

    @babyodo, I feel you on feeling like a crazy person. I cannot wait until first tri ends!

  • How far along as you? 
    7+1?

    Any upcoming milestones? 
    So I guess I’m confused by this question? On my previous BMBs this was like anniversaries of losses or missed due dates? And I guess here this means milestones in the pregnancy? ((I’m not trying to be rude just really confused))

    How are you feeling?
    I am in a better mental headspace than I was last week which is why I didn’t post last week. We had our ultrasound last Monday and measured 1 week and 2 days behind with a “low” heartbeat. Like a really low heartbeat. I’m not sure what to think at this point and it took me a whole week to feel more like myself. 

    Upcoming appointments?
    Follow up ultrasound next Tuesday to see if baby has caught up or not.

    I only really listen to Allie Casazza’s. 
  • How far along are you? 
    9 + 5

    Any upcoming milestones? 
    Made it further along than my last 2, so it’s a milestone in itself. 

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
     I’m tired. So tired. And everything freaks me out. Currently, my groin area and my upper thigh are killing me.
    so naturally, I’m extremely worried. 

    Any upcoming appointments? 
    Next appointment on the 30th but will call my on-gyn tomorrow about my symptoms

    GTKY: Favorite podcast?  
    Serial killers. I’m so obsessed with trying to figure out the way their mind works. 
  • How far along are you? 7w3d

    Any upcoming milestones? I had my MMC at 9w2d so I haven’t passed that yet. 

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? My symptoms come and go and overall are not too severe. The only consistent one is that extreme fatigue! 

    Any upcoming appointments? March 19 for bloodwork and March 24 for US 

    GTKY: Favorite podcast?  Hidden Brain, Dirty John, S-Town, Serial, Terrible, Thanks for Asking 
  • Oh I did milestones wrong. 
    I dispelled the first baby at 8 weeks (first m/c) but the babies had died at 6 weeks. So at 6w2d I'm in that limbo where... Once upon a time I thought I was 6w2d pregnant and really my babies had no heartbeat. I ended up with a d&c to remove the second fetus at 12w.

    My appointment to hear the heartbeat isn't until April 6 so every night at bedtime when I finally slow down, I panic. I guess my next milestone is 8 weeks when I'll finally make it past my first miscarriage date. I had no symptoms of impending miscarriage even though there was no heartbeat, so it's really hard to trust my body. My second m/c was at 5ish weeks so I'm already past that milestone.

    Any upcoming milestones? Trying to survive the first trimester. 

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Feeling ok. Symptoms ebb and flow. The heartburn is already starting. I alternate between feeling super-confident that we’ll bring this baby home to really anxious and unsure.

    Any upcoming appointments? U/s Thursday (graduate from our fertility specialist!), then my first OB appointment on Friday.

  • Sorry I didn’t really clarify the milestones questions. It can be anything pregnancy wise and also if you’ve gotten past when you’ve experienced your loss.
