Upcoming appointments: I am going to call when I get off work today. They usually don’t see you until 7-9 weeks at my doctor’s office.
How are you feeling? SO tired today! I ended up drinking a coffee (been trying to avoid) because I knew nap time was going to be a struggle if I didn’t! These preschoolers keeps me on my toes all morning but once we turn the lights off and the music on and I sit down...😴 I wish I could have a quick nap when I get home but I have too much to do...DH and I are flying out on Friday to AZ for a wedding.
Raves/Rants: I did NOT want what the kids were having for lunch today (pizza rolls) and one of my awesome coworkers went out and got us Chinese food instead, yum!!

How are you feeling? Not bad, maybe a bit tired, couldn't really get out of bed this morning. Boobs have been sore for 2 weeks and were pretty bad this weekend. I secretly wish for morning sickness.
Raves/Rants: I find it soooooo annoying that people ask if you're pregnant when you're not drinking. I wish people understood that if you haven't tell them, it's because you don't want to or you aren't pregnant. Every friend gathering is now a source of stress...
Questions: Anybody still working out? What modifications are you adding?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? I think I would bring corn on the cob and a greek salad. My fiance is Greek and makes a mean greek salad which is so much better than the commercial ones.
@mimser I’m still going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I’ve cut out most ab work, but I did look up some pregnancy-safe core workouts on YouTube. They say not to lay on your back or do any crunch-type moves that compress the abdomen. I think it wouldn’t hurt this early on but I figure I might as well get out of the habit of those type of exercises. I’m not pushing myself as hard since I’m no longer really trying to tone up, you know? I’m mostly doing the elliptical for cardio. I feel like it really helps my energy level at this point. Just hope I can keep it up as the fatigue and nausea start really kicking in.
Upcoming appointments: 1st Sono with my fertility dr 3/24 (then I’ll transfer to OB)
How are you feeling? Cautiously optimistic. A bit of nausea and definitely stronger sense of smell. I‘ve also had difficulty falling asleep which is very unusual for me.
Raves/Rants: the daily shots are getting really old. I did IVF so I’m on a progesterone shot until 10w and also lovenox throughout for a clotting issue.
Questions:
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring?
How are you feeling? I’m a little anxious for our scan. But symptom wise, I feel a bit better today nausea wise. Not sure if it’s the mist (mentioned in symptoms thread) or just a coincidence. My boobs are starting to get sore and I’m a bit tired.
Raves/Rants: I wish I could take more breaks at work so I’m not on my feet so much. But then I would have to tell more people....
Questions:
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring?
So I had a laparoscopy back in November and haven’t really gotten back into a good routine since. But I used to run and since I haven’t gotten back into it, I’m not at this point since it’s been a few months.
I heard in general to stay off your back past the first trimester.
We just got a Peloton so I intend to do a lot of that with some yoga and strength.
I will say I get worn out pretty easily so I’m just listening to my body for how far I can go.
@kitkatz1990@joyfulone86 I've also maintained most of my routine (3 days in the gym +pilates,barre and yoga), I try to have at least one rest day. I also modify the core exercises, but I still do some but when it starts to feel intense I modify.
Raves/Rants: I am so nervous this time around. DH wouldn’t keep it a secret this time and it has made me anxious. also so excited for this group!! I have been checking everyday because DD group is still going strong and was the biggest help.
Questions: none?

Raves/Rants:
Questions: DS is 13 months (21 months when baby comes) , we plan to keep the baby in our room until 6ish months but I'm not sure when to make the switch for him
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Pasta salad or iced tea
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: undecided so far (I have decided the baby's room will be green with jungle stuff though)
Baby is the size of a(n): kidney bean
Upcoming appointments: Mar 13 for my first ultrasound, Mar 16 for my 2nd GP check-up
How are you feeling? Exhausted and more nauseous every day, and my boobs are so achy and heavy. And constantly crampy. Not bad but always there.
Raves/Rants: My SO and I booked a weekend getaway at the end of February, just before we got our good news. I just got back from a weekend of what was supposed to be brewery tours, wine tastings, and lots of fresh seafood. Not nearly as fun watching other people drink and eat all the raw sushi. I did cheat a tiny bit, had a couple sips of wine and beer and a few pieces of raw sushi but felt stupidly guilty each whole time.
Questions: Do the cramps ever end?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Steaks and something tasty to drink.
@mimser People are so annoying with the drinking thing... 🙄 As for exercise - I do Momma Strong, so I just switched to the Momma-To-Be program. I highly recommend it! @Ecat504 Sorry about your SO. MH wasn't as excited as I had hoped with our first baby, but he was mostly just nervous and uncertain (*TW* especially because of our history of MC */TW*). This time he is way more excited because he knows what's coming. @knottie Welcome!

Upcoming appointments: first sono next monday!
How are you feeling? Emotional, my pelvis is already starting to feel like its stretching which is crazy, super tender nipples. Also, on constant worry until I see that first ultrasound.
Raves/Rants: I wanted to drink hibiscus tea yet again to find out another thing I cant enjoy while prego. And I miss hot baths.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out for sure.
Baby is the size of a(n): round sprinkle on a cup cake!
Upcoming appointments: just saw my PCP today (not pregnancy related but he kindly confirmed for me). Initial GP 3/20 and first US 4/1!
How are you feeling? Crampy (I think gas related), sore boobs, and sooooo thirsty all the time. I get dry mouth so fast as of this weekend.
Raves/Rants: It’s so hard to keep such good news a secret! Trying to relish in it being a secret between just my DH and I but I’m excited to tell our parents - lil sprinkle will be the first grand baby on his side!
Questions: Should I feel guilty if I have a single cup of coffee 2-3x a week? My sweet hubs bought me a coffee bean subscription for my birthday and I still really want to utilize it. I still have 3 months of it left I think.

@angela444 I sure hope they do! Such a small annoyance!
@mimser I’m still working out regularly like I had been - 6days/week, 5 of which are weight lifting and strength and 1 is HIIT. It is my understanding that since I was doing it pre-pregnancy, my body can handle it during pregnancy. I haven’t had to modify anything yet except that I was super tired this morning (no pre-workout anymore) so I started off slower and with lighter weight.

@lovelee3 I usually see the recommendation of limiting yourself to 200 mg of caffeine a day, which means you can totally drink a cup of coffee everyday if you want!

How are you feeling? super bloated and an emotional wreck
Raves/Rants: I can’t find an OB that will get me in any sooner since I am a new patient. My last pregnancy I was on progesterone during my 1st trimester. I’m not sure if thats why it was a successful pregnancy, but I know I was relieved to feel I was doing something to help prevent another M/C. My old OB is a 4 hour drive away, but it maybe my only option.
Questions: Who else has or is having kids a short time apart?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? My husband makes some of the best pork spare ribs in the world.. trophy to prove it!
Upcoming appointments: OB nurse appt 4/1 - OB and U/S 4/7
How are you feeling? Mostly great with some waves of queasiness. Waves of fatigue
Raves/Rants: none
Questions: nada
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Man, that's tough. I would bring some sort of super yummy cold street corn salad I think!

@lovelee3 I drank 2 cups everyday (OB approved) with DS, and I've toned it down to one a day with this pregnancy. I DARE someone to side-eye me or take my one cup a day away - they can pry it from my cold, dead fingers!
all to say - enjoy your coffee bean subscription girl, and don't feel bad about it!

Baby is the size of a(n): smartie 💜
Upcoming appointments: April 8 for dating U/S
How are you feeling? Crampy, nauseus, tired and moody.
Raves/Rants: I’m pretty neutral right now. 👍🏻
Questions: How many 3rd time mommy’s do we have here?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Ooooooh grilled corn on the cob. It is tha bomb. 🙌🏻
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding Out for sure! And thinking of doing the whole gender reveal party this time!
Baby is the size of a(n): today was a dried corn kernel 🤣
Upcoming appointments: today! It’s my initial intake appointment
How are you feeling? I feel pretty good! Some tiredness and nausea at random times, but nothing crazy. I’m an avid fitness person and work out 5-7 days a week and I’m happy I’ve been able to keep up so far.
Raves/Rants: cramping and spotting. My DD was a surprise and I didn’t find out until 10 weeks because what I’m experiencing now I assumed was a light period. So I know it’s normal for my body, it’s just annoying that my body does it to me.
Questions: none at this time!
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Hmm great question! Probably this awesome corn salsa I make or a dessert because I’m a sucker for sweets lol, so brownies or Jewish Apple Cake
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: -finding out! I wish I could wait until birth to be surprised, but I am wayyyyy too impatient! Baby is the size of a(n): -appleseed
Upcoming appointments: -first appointment is 3/23
How are you feeling? -fat. this bloat is no joke. but other than that- as my girl Lizzo would say- I'm feelin good as hell.
Raves/Rants: -I'm so bloated and I think if I just have one really good poo I would feel so much better.. lol
Questions: -anyone else having any back pain? I usually have pain in my sacrum around the time my period is supposed to start and it usually subsides- but recently, I have been experiencing pain intermittently. I have a belt that has helped relieve the pain in the past, but it's not helping now.
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? -pasta salad! I am so picky when it comes to this! tricolored rotini noodles, green and black olives, pepperoni, pepperjack and colbyjack cheese, cucumbers and Italian dressing
@name1109 I want to spill the beans so bad, too! I've told DH that I dont think i can keep it a secret until were 12 weeks- because im a blabbermouth when it comes to any news that is exciting- and because this is my second pregnancy so i will probably start showing sooner than when I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm going to a concert this friday with my sister and mother-in-law and I have a feeling they're going to know something is up because I wont be drinking
Probably the same on we did with DD. Colored Smoke out of a BBQ pit.
I will feel like a total a*hole if I skip out on anything I did for DD. Announcement photos, gender reveal, maternity photos, newborn photos, beautiful nursery. We went all out for our rainbow baby. My creativity bucket, money bucket and mind is drained. Haha
This is my first baby in the area I live in. I have an apt on March 24, I’ll be 6w +3. I’m not really sold on this Dr. though so I have another appointment on April 3 with a different doctor. Hopefully I like one of them. I don’t really have anyone to ask for references and I don’t want to post in my local mom group since it’s so early. So, we’ll see. I’ve never had such an early appointment. I was 16 weeks when I found out with my first daughter and 11 or 12 with my second. So I don’t know how super early appointments usually are handled.
What can I expect? What’s pertinent information to have or questions to ask at this stage?
I’m having a routine c section also, what are some questions you’d ask to feel or e the dr to see if you like them?
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out, but telling everybody that we're not.
Baby is the size of a(n): Heart button on Instagram
Upcoming appointments: 3/18 u/s and to FX see a heartbeat
How are you feeling? Just got back from a few days at DisneyWorld (which was so fun, but I so do not recommend while PG) so I'm not sure that the lower back pain I've been having is Walking related or pregnancy related although I'm thinking the former. Otherwise I'm just so exhausted - I go to sleep tired and wake up tired and I'm tired throughout the day.
Raves/Rants: Rant; the last month has been particularly stressful with a ton of huge things happening simultaneously (this was good, most are not). Rave; MH has been the best, most supportive partner to me through everything and I am just so lucky.
Questions: Anybody with weird sex dreams, yet?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Dessert - an icebox cake and rice krispie treats.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team green! We did this last time with DS and it was great. A fun surprise and a nice pass from "advice" and stereotypes about gender before he even showed up.
Baby is the size of a(n): Um, very small? I use a pretty basic app (FF mobile) that doesn't really have this info. It gives actual sizes, so....0.05 in.
Upcoming appointments: I haven't even scheduled one. Last time, I used a midwife and the first appointment was just with a nurse and fairly pointless, just medical history and getting in the system (so they'll already have most of that this time around) and then I didn't meet with a midwife until 12 weeks. So this time I'm just going to wait and schedule around then so I can just meet directly with the midwife (want to schedule it late enough that hearing a heartbeat with be an option).
How are you feeling? Fine so far. Kind of crampy and tired (but I have an 11 month old, so that's a regular state regardless). I remember being super nervous about not having morning sickness early on and then it hit like a ton of bricks around 6 weeks. So I'm trying to enjoy this relatively easy period, even if it's making me nervous again anyways. There's no winning.
Raves/Rants: Nothing really!
Questions: none
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Deviled eggs!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed/pencil eraser

How are you feeling? Nauseous and exhausted. Haven't told anyone yet so it's killing me. My students are really testing me this week...
Raves/Rants: I really can't wait to tell my family this weekend. It's so hard to keep a secret...
Questions: Anyone else take on too much to do and worry if you will make it through this exhausted state?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? I would probably bring Ice cream because that's all I have been wanting and I don't have to do more.
@mtengle Feb '19, he came 2 weeks early though on Jan 29th @auburnvelvet86 people still like to find a way to give advice - last time some people (like DH's patients) were adamant that we needed to find out haha
EDD/weeks+days: I'm going with 11/20, but knowing very well that could change
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We'll definitely find out (hopefully around the 10 week mark with blood tests)
Baby is the size of a(n): little tiny poppy seed baby
Upcoming appointments: I haven't even called yet... my dr likes to either do a blood draw or a dating ultrasound or both, so I'll give her a call sometime this week to set something up.
How are you feeling? 100% normal other than headaches (which I get hormonal migraines anyway)
Raves/Rants: My school just closed tomorrow for 2 cases of COVID-19 in town.

It is my understanding that since I was doing it pre-pregnancy, my body can handle it during pregnancy. I haven’t had to modify anything yet except that I was super tired this morning (no pre-workout anymore) so I started off slower and with lighter weight.

Baby is the size of a(n): poppy seed
Upcoming appointments: April 2nd first appt
How are you feeling? super bloated and an emotional wreck
Raves/Rants: I can’t find an OB that will get me in any sooner since I am a new patient. My last pregnancy I was on progesterone during my 1st trimester. I’m not sure if thats why it was a successful pregnancy, but I know I was relieved to feel I was doing something to help prevent another M/C. My old OB is a 4 hour drive away, but it maybe my only option.
Questions: Who else has or is having kids a short time apart?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? My husband makes some of the best pork spare ribs in the world.. trophy to prove it!

We are definitely having a gender reveal! We’ve waited 6 years for this!
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team Finding Out for sure! And thinking of doing the whole gender reveal party this time!
Baby is the size of a(n): today was a dried corn kernel 🤣
Upcoming appointments: today! It’s my initial intake appointment
How are you feeling? I feel pretty good! Some tiredness and nausea at random times, but nothing crazy. I’m an avid fitness person and work out 5-7 days a week and I’m happy I’ve been able to keep up so far.
Raves/Rants: cramping and spotting. My DD was a surprise and I didn’t find out until 10 weeks because what I’m experiencing now I assumed was a light period. So I know it’s normal for my body, it’s just annoying that my body does it to me.
Questions: none at this time!
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Hmm great question! Probably this awesome corn salsa I make or a dessert because I’m a sucker for sweets lol, so brownies or Jewish Apple Cake
im a 3rd time mama too! and yes, grilled corn on the cob is the bees knees.
mama. epicurean. plant lover. wine enthusiast.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: -finding out! I wish I could wait until birth to be surprised, but I am wayyyyy too impatient!
Baby is the size of a(n): -appleseed
Upcoming appointments: -first appointment is 3/23
How are you feeling? -fat. this bloat is no joke. but other than that- as my girl Lizzo would say- I'm feelin good as hell.
Raves/Rants: -I'm so bloated and I think if I just have one really good poo I would feel so much better.. lol
Questions: -anyone else having any back pain? I usually have pain in my sacrum around the time my period is supposed to start and it usually subsides- but recently, I have been experiencing pain intermittently. I have a belt that has helped relieve the pain in the past, but it's not helping now.
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? -pasta salad! I am so picky when it comes to this! tricolored rotini noodles, green and black olives, pepperoni, pepperjack and colbyjack cheese, cucumbers and Italian dressing
I will feel like a total a*hole if I skip out on anything I did for DD. Announcement photos, gender reveal, maternity photos, newborn photos, beautiful nursery. We went all out for our rainbow baby.
My creativity bucket, money bucket and mind is drained. Haha

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out, but telling everybody that we're not.
Baby is the size of a(n): Heart button on Instagram
Upcoming appointments: 3/18 u/s and to FX see a heartbeat
How are you feeling? Just got back from a few days at DisneyWorld (which was so fun, but I so do not recommend while PG) so I'm not sure that the lower back pain I've been having is Walking related or pregnancy related although I'm thinking the former. Otherwise I'm just so exhausted - I go to sleep tired and wake up tired and I'm tired throughout the day.
Raves/Rants: Rant; the last month has been particularly stressful with a ton of huge things happening simultaneously (this was good, most are not). Rave; MH has been the best, most supportive partner to me through everything and I am just so lucky.
Questions: Anybody with weird sex dreams, yet?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Dessert - an icebox cake and rice krispie treats.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Team green! We did this last time with DS and it was great. A fun surprise and a nice pass from "advice" and stereotypes about gender before he even showed up.
Baby is the size of a(n): Um, very small? I use a pretty basic app (FF mobile) that doesn't really have this info. It gives actual sizes, so....0.05 in.
Upcoming appointments: I haven't even scheduled one. Last time, I used a midwife and the first appointment was just with a nurse and fairly pointless, just medical history and getting in the system (so they'll already have most of that this time around) and then I didn't meet with a midwife until 12 weeks. So this time I'm just going to wait and schedule around then so I can just meet directly with the midwife (want to schedule it late enough that hearing a heartbeat with be an option).
How are you feeling? Fine so far. Kind of crampy and tired (but I have an 11 month old, so that's a regular state regardless). I remember being super nervous about not having morning sickness early on and then it hit like a ton of bricks around 6 weeks. So I'm trying to enjoy this relatively easy period, even if it's making me nervous again anyways. There's no winning.
Raves/Rants: Nothing really!
Questions: none
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? Deviled eggs!
EDD/weeks+days: 5 weeks 4 days
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): Appleseed/pencil eraser
Upcoming appointments: April 10th for ultrasound
How are you feeling? Nauseous and exhausted. Haven't told anyone yet so it's killing me. My students are really testing me this week...
Raves/Rants: I really can't wait to tell my family this weekend. It's so hard to keep a secret...
Questions: Anyone else take on too much to do and worry if you will make it through this exhausted state?
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? I would probably bring Ice cream because that's all I have been wanting and I don't have to do more.
@auburnvelvet86 people still like to find a way to give advice - last time some people (like DH's patients) were adamant that we needed to find out haha
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: We'll definitely find out (hopefully around the 10 week mark with blood tests)
Baby is the size of a(n): little tiny poppy seed baby
Upcoming appointments: I haven't even called yet... my dr likes to either do a blood draw or a dating ultrasound or both, so I'll give her a call sometime this week to set something up.
How are you feeling? 100% normal other than headaches (which I get hormonal migraines anyway)
Raves/Rants: My school just closed tomorrow for 2 cases of COVID-19 in town.
Questions: None
GTKY: If we were going to a cook out together, what would you bring? - All the chips.
