Any upcoming appointments?
GTKY: Do you hope this baby will look like you or your SO? Is there any specific feature from either of you that you want this baby to inherit?

Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. Chemical pregnancy ending at 4w1d and Blighted ovum ending at 9w6d followed by a D&C
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I started to experience some constipation a few days ago and I outgrew my bras as of yesterday. Emotionally, I think I'm starting to feel better and am picturing myself taking a healthy baby home.
I also hope baby inherits from my school smarts and SO's social skills and confidence.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Emotionally, I am pretty copesthetic at the moment. Just sort of waiting for my next u/s; this is the longest I've gone between appointments so I'm feeling... ummmm... eager. Physically, I have a lot of digestive issues and now have indigestion all the time! Some cramps here and there and sore boobs x10000.
@mimser FX for your redraw tomorrow.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MC at 7ish weeks and MMC at 12 weeks but then 2 successful pregnancies
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I'm feeling like this pregnancy is going to make it and am starting to think more about WHEN the twins arrive versus IF! I've made it past all my "bad milestones." Symptoms suck and make me want to jump ahead to last month of pregnancy! My nausea, vomiting, and light-headedness have been worse. I'm still exhausted and just trying to get through each day. My house needs to be cleaned and I'm always behind on laundry. I feel bad for my husband because he is working longer hours currently and also doing more around the house then previously. He is amazing!
@mimser 🤞for NIPT redraw. I'm glad you're also starting to feel better and picturing baby coming home! Is your SO from Greece or just heritage?
@laurenmicheley we have the same date for AS!
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. No successful pregnancies. Husband and I have unexplained infertility. We've been trying for several years and moved to IVF last year. Had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks after fresh transfer and and and early miscarriage at 5.5 weeks after frozen transfer.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Feeling pretty good naseau is just about gone, and I was burping like crazy last month, which is going away now too (DH is VERY happy about that!! 😂). But still not really showing, just look bloated, so I'm nervous all the time with loosing symptoms.. But at the same time, starting to get excited now that I'm in the second trimester.
@mimser Good luck with your redraw!
Reading through these boards I feel like I'm the only person not to do NIPT!
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. Miscarriage at six weeks last November.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
I’m feeling so much better. I haven’t even been waking up feeling hungover lately. I am feeling sciatic pain starting already, though. I think I’ll be getting in touch with a prenatal chiropractor this week.
@kelk5 My SO is the first one of his family not to be born in Greece. His sister who is 4 years older was born there. So not from Greece exactly technically speaking but close enough! I've fallen in love with greek culture over the years.
@surlyjaneausten I'm so curious what they'll be like. I know fraternal twins are basically the same as other siblings but it still seems to special.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
Mentally feeling good now that we're in the second trimester and we know this baby is chromosomally normal. My husband has an ultrasound at home so weekly ultrasounds have helped with that too! Still having morning sickness (triggered by drinking water 🤔) and migraines started 2 weeks ago.
Just had one 2 days ago. Next one is at 20 weeks!
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not: I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, 3 days in January. It was my first pregnancy.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I am feeling SO much better than I was during weeks 6-10. I’m experiencing fatigue and lower back pain, but that’s about it. I am doing much better mentally/emotionally as well. We had our first ultrasound last week and seeing our baby helped my anxiety so much.
