Re: FTM (First Time Mom) Check-In Week of 3/2
Rants/Raves? We have been having beautiful weather here so I actually got to run outside this weekend. It is nice to get off the treadmill.
Questions? None at the moment
GTKY: What are your favorite hobbies? Are you thinking anything will change with your hobbies with this pregnancy and/or motherhood? I’m mainly into crafty things, knitting, making cards etc. Being pregnant has made me excited about some new baby related projects, but I also anticipate I will have less time for crafting in the coming months!
Rants/Raves? I’m just trying to get through today and keep food/liquid down. then tonight I’ll start taking unisom/B6.
Questions? None right now

Rants/Raves? I hate feeling constantly bloated.
Questions? Not at the moment
GTKY: I love growing veggies, fruits and flowers in our backyard garden. We’re gearing up for spring and it’s still early in my pregnancy so I’m hoping to still have energy to prep the beds and plant everything out starting in April. My favorite thing is walking the garden early in the morning and I’m telling myself that I’ll still be up for that when I’m further along. We’ll see!
Rants/Raves? Rant: I’m so tired all the time. I never expected this level exhaustion during the first trimester.
Questions? None
GTKY: What are your favorite hobbies? Are you thinking anything will change with your hobbies with this pregnancy and/or motherhood? Sewing, knitting, baking, and being outdoors. Sewing will definitely ramp up now that we’re prepping for lil babe.
Rants/Raves? Dating ultrasound is scheduled for next Friday 3-13. Hopefully all goes well. I am pretty bummed they didn't do one at my first app last week. The clinic I go to apparently only has 1 sonographer so ultrasounds are scheduled so far out
Questions? Nah
GTKY: What are your favorite hobbies? Are you thinking anything will change with your hobbies with this pregnancy and/or motherhood? I seem to have a lot of similar hobbies with all of you!
@cassiiefrass I just started getting into collecting houseplants about a year ago. I have a small collection, but I'm so nervous I'm going to forget to care for them once baby comes. Luckily MH also enjoys them and will usually water them if I forget.
@hml9000 I was hoping to do a lot more work in my garden this year, won't be out there until 2nd tri since planting season doesn't really begin until May/June here in NH. I'm hoping I have more energy by then! I love spending time in my gardens.
@psmk521 hoping 2nd tri will bring some energy! I am hoping to do some easy hikes this spring/summer. I have felt 100% useless for the past few weeks as well.
@fitzfizz I am so with you on the crafting! There are so many things I want to make right now, but finding energy is hard. I am also struggling with wanting to wait until finding out the gender before I go crazy because I'm nervous that if I start any more gender neutral projects and then find out it's a girl or boy I will want to change my ideas so I've been holding back. I love to crochet and quilt, but I am also hoping to do some painting for the nursery. I also have a feeling time is of essence. My sister actually got into knitting after her LO was born and she was able to knit a ton during and even after her maternity leave.
Rants/Raves? Hate feeling like a lazy bum as it is hard to get up and get going. This fatigue + limiting caffeine and not being able to take my meds has been tough. No mood swings though! Feel very calm all the time.
Questions? Anyone else trying to manage ADHD without meds?

Roller derby, snowboarding, off-roading, drinking, brewing beer... really struggling without being able to do these things! I like camping and hiking too. I feel out of place though not being able to my favorite things. Need to come up with new hobbies...
Rants/Raves? Started taking progesterone today and synthroid. My thyroid numbers are too high. I am waiting for my hcg #s to come back, hoping they have doubled from Tuesday.
Questions? I posted about exercise but no one responded. So is anyone here exercising?
GTKY: What are your favorite hobbies? Are you thinking anything will change with your hobbies with this pregnancy and/or motherhood?
Yoga and barre are 2 main things i like to do. I like being outside for hikes/walks, I also like crafting with my cricut. I think I will still be able to do all of these things. I can still do yoga but barre may be a bit harder to do while pregnant.
@mckjacks Have you ever made quilts? That is my one seeing project I am planning for now. I have made a few before, but nothing complicated.
@leo_mama85 You definitely seem to have the least PG friendly hobbies! Hopefully you can at least keep camping
@dogmomnowbabymom I’m not sure where you had posted, so sorry if people missed the question. I also exercise, but mainly running. I have kept it up so far, but I’m sure that will become more of an intermittent walk/jog as things progress. Also, we are due date buddies, and I also love my Cricut!
@fitzfizz yes! I have 3 quilts in process right now. I’m not very good yet, but I’m trying.

Rants/Raves?
I am having a hard time coping with my decreased activity level. I am a marathon runner and I have decreased the duration and intensity of my daily workouts due to feeling exhausted. It’s warming up in Austin, Texas and I am very happy to get some fresh air and sunshine!
Questions?
I haven’t started feeling nauseated, however, I have generally felt unwell- low energy, slight headaches, somewhat queasy. Food is not appealing and I have a few aversions already. Though when I am hungry, it is a deep hunger and it is time for me to eat right then and there. Are these symptoms typical prior to the onset of nausea/vomiting? It appears to be getting a little worse every day.

I am also a kayaker @knottieb462a19b2c7bf5b2. Do you plan to keep kayaking in your pregnancy? I told my husband I plan to, but won't go our usually place because it can get very dicey at times with down trees and a quick current. I'd like to explore some calmer places.
Rants/Raves? My rant is that I find concentration at work really hard right now! Can't focus at all and just feel like I'm more interested in researching my baby questions and watching mom youtubers lol. Hope my productivity increases soon.
Questions? None

I go to The Bar Method for exercise, love it! Looking forward to the fact that I should be able to continue going until week 30. The instructors have modifications for each stage of pregnancy to keep baby safe.
Also love cooking, sewing, cuddling my weimaraner Maverick, water sports, and anything outdoorsy as well. @leo_mama85 I too miss social drinking. I'm 28 and my friends aren't all family oriented yet, so I've found mommy mocktails give me the drink I need to feel like one of the gang still.
