Current pregnancy - First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.
October 8 12 weeks +4 Unfortunately, I’m not supposed to be going to the hospital here in Chad with the pandemic. So... I’m Whatsaping and emailing with two OBs in the meantime.
Rant/Rave: Round ligament pain and back pain!!! What the heck is happening with my hips? Any tips ladies?
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? Recently... I dreamt about my baby as a grown teenager! The teen kept changing names (funny enough going through the names my husband and I are talking about now.) I woke from the dream and said to my hubby “We can’t use **** name! It’s the worst” all based on the teen with that name. Hahaha, I guess that’s one way to narrow the list down
Rant/Rave: Rant: Never ending insomnia is taking its toll on me Rave: My nausea has finally subsided, and I’m so excited about that
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? Pregnancy related? I had a dream the other night that my husband and I left the babies at home right after they were born and went out for dinner, social distancing was still happening, I had no idea the sex of the babies, and we hadn’t bought any supplies for them. 🤦🏼♀️
@courtneyjoy247 I'm with you on the round ligament pain and back pain! I was not expecting it to start this early. Two weeks ago I threw my lower back out dry heaving... haha. It started to feel better last week and now it hurts again. I had a moment today when I sneezed and the resulting RL pain had me nearly on the floor. No suggestions here yet, I realize I just have to do everything slower and avoid sneezing/dry heaving/basically any surprise spastic movements.
@mckjacks sorry about the insomnia, but so glad nausea has gotten better! I'm hoping I'm about to turn that corner.
Estimated due date (EDD): 10/8
Week of pregnancy: 12 + 4
Upcoming Appointments: April 15th (tele-appointment 🥺)
Rant/Rave: still fighting the nausea and now almost daily headaches. Pretty sure it's sinus/allergy related.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? I've had a bunch of weird ones over the past 3 months, but the strangest was a very theatrical piece about Godzilla and Mothra... it was incredibly detailed and felt like I was in a movie. It was made stranger by the fact that I have never seen a Godzilla movie and I have no idea who Mothra is. Literally came out of nowhere.
@mckjacks, my nausea has also subsided this week! Yay for 12 weeks!
@courtneyjoy247, get a pregnancy pillow or body pillow if you can. That really helps me.
As you get bigger, a belly band can also be a lifesaver
Estimated due date (EDD):10/12
Week of pregnancy: 12
Upcoming Appointments: US on April 7 and cerclage counseling on April 8
Rant/Rave: My nausea has mostly subsided and I can finally stomach vegetables and open my fridge without gagging!
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember?- I’ve had so many baby dreams recently, even before I found out about this baby. It usually involves some weird birth and then leaving the baby and forgetting about it. Super weird. It’s always a boy too
Me: 27 DH: 27 Married 6/15/13 BFP #1 5/8/16, EDD 12/31/16- DD born 9/10/16 at 24 weeks ~In our hearts forever~ BFP #2 10/14/17, EDD 7/1/18
Estimated due date (EDD): 10/11, but likely delivering 10/5 (scheduled c-section)
Week of pregnancy: 12
Upcoming Appointments: End of April, but I had an ultrasound yesterday!
Rant/Rave: This is a really un-ideal time to be quarantined because I am so effing HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. And not for the groceries we have at our house ha.
GTKY: What's the weirdest dream you remember? When I was little I had a dream (twice) that my mom, grandma, and I were walking from my elementary school to a Garth Brooks concert. We had to climb through a giant thorn forest and my grandma didn't want to so she turned back. My mom and I went to the concert and we got to go down this slide to be on stage but at the bottom there was quicksand so we had to try to save each other. It was so strange.
@themoonandme I legit cried when I realized I wouldn’t be able to go to the grocery store anymore because my cravings have been so specific during pregnancy that I can’t prepare for them. 😂
@profmcgonagall I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one with nausea subsiding... being my first pregnancy I was hoping it was going to leave, but still made me nervous that something might be wrong.
@mckjacks agreed!! FTM problems of wondering if symptoms or lack there of is a sign. I feel way more normal this week and like I can open the fridge like @profmcgonagall said! Phew 😅
@themoonandme I know not having foods you crave in the pantry is the WORST!We normally stock up on food for the village once every three months... All during my first trimester I craved pickles (cliche I know) and we had only one jar... I dirty looked my hubby every time he even glanced at the jar.
What have you guys been craving lately? Has it changed from the first 12 weeks? My new craving is raspberry sorbet- sweet and sour!!
@courtneyjoy247 I don't even know what I'm craving, I'm just hungry always! Yesterday I ate half a bag of Cheetos (which I normally don't even like or buy, but I was trying to be a fun mom amidst this chaos).
