Re: PGAL Check-in 09/16

  • How far along are you? 6 weeks and 3 days

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?  I'm doing pretty good mentally.  I'm so busy with work and the kids and the dogs that I don't have too much time to worry.  My symptoms are helping me now worry as well, my boobs still hurt and nausea started on Sunday, so here we are!

    Any upcoming appointments? Sept 30th can't come soon enough!

    GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? When I was pregnant with my youngest, we went to San Francisco and stayed in a little Air BNB in the woods and did all the touristy stuff and went hiking.  It was so great!

  • @texas_t that trip sounds awesome!  probably some good balance between city things and outdoor things.  i love when a vaca is more than just one.  hopefully the nausea isn't too bad (even if it is reassuring)

    How far along are you?
     4 weeks, 3 days

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?  excited! but of course anxious.  cant wait to get past other milestones we have already passed previously.  feeling a little more tired than usual, a little crampy and boobs are sore.

    Any upcoming appointments? Set for October 9th! it's going to be a long 3 weeks of waiting for sure.

    GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? Maui--we went for our honeymoon and again two years ago.  were supposed to go this year but they changed travel requirements.

    How far along are you? 5 weeks

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?  Not many symptoms yet which I'm trying not to worry about, but I am tired and my boobs are getting just a little bit sore. The first few days after my BFP I was a bit nervous, but surprisingly I haven't been too too anxious the past couple days. I practice a lot of gratitude especially towards this pregnancy and I feel it's really doing it for me. I even bought (ordered) a pregnancy journal today 😊 I'm trying to have small goals and right now I'm aiming at the first ultrasound milestone. 

    Any upcoming appointments? I have a phone appointment with my GP on Monday and I scheduled my dating scan on October 5 at 7w5d.

    GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? Kalamata beach in Greece. My ILs still have a house there and my fiancé and I spent a week there last summer and it was just perfect in every way.

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I’m happy that I’m still having symptoms but anytime I feel “normal” I start to worry. I’m a huge planner and I’m just trying not to get too excited yet until I feel more sure. The pain I’m having with progesterone injections isnt helping - currently sitting here with a heating pad on my butt. 

    Any upcoming appointments? I have a blood draw coming back tomorrow and an ultrasound next Fri. Although I’ve already see a heartbeat, I’m still nervous because I miscarried at around 7-8 weeks last time.

    GTKY: Favorite vacation spot? We like to go to Ocean Isle Beach, NC - easy beach access, fun for kids, and no stress because we know the area.
  • @asf0613 We went to Kauai for our honeymoon and it was lovely! We had a canceled Hawaii trip in June 🥺 I'd love to go to Maui!

    @mimser I live the idea of a pregnancy journal! This is what we are planning as our last baby, so I think I'm gonna order one right now!

    @ckmb_1250 Ugh, I'm so sorry for the pain from the shots. That's just awful.

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Pretty good, tired all the time. I don't remember getting so tired so early  :D  

    Any upcoming appointments? October 13th, so nervous but excited, since its a big milestone.

    GTKY: Favorite vacation spot. Hawaii! Only been to Oahu once, and loved it. We were planning for Maui before COVID.

  • @ckmb_1250 sorry you're dealing with the shots. for how long does doc have you on them? and i hear you regarding the first ultrasound.  i had seen a heartbeat last time too and it was a followup that we didnt, so i know i wont feel more at ease until 12wks this time.
    @starfish827 ugh stinks you couldnt go to Hawaii this year either!  hopefully soon, i know i cant wait to get back.
