    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Symptoms come and go. Mostly, I'm emotional and exhausted. I'm worried now about the NIPT. Our odds of chromosomal abnormalities is 1:40. Granted that's still only 2%, but it's not as comforting. 


    Any upcoming appointments? Genetic Counseling 10/5. Perinatology Intake 10/. 12w OB 10/7


    GTKY: Rollercoasters. Love them or hate them? Depends on the coaster. It's all about how smooth the ride is. If it jerks too much, I hate them. But, if they're smooth, they can spin around, corkscrew, go backwards, do loops, and I love them

    How far along are you?
    9 +3

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
    Physically, all the normal things for the first trimester. 
    Mentally, I go back and forth between being comfortable enough to tell someone I’m pregnant because we had a good 8 week appointment and saw the heartbeat (I never made it to seeing a HB with previous miscarriages), and freaking out, because I hadn’t felt nauseous in a couple hours and I know for me, this lasts until week 13-17.  I know it’s illogical because if there’s something wrong there’s absolutely nothing I can do, but I cannot handle the thought of a 3rd m/c.  I felt oddly great (physically) on Sunday and immediately panicked. But then the nausea came back on Monday just in time for work. 

    Any upcoming appointments? Blood draw for genetic testing on 10/12.  Nervous because my last successful pregnancy it took the nurse a lifetime to find a HB on the Doppler, and I fear the same thing happening and just melting down. I won’t be semi-comfortable until after genetic testing and probably a 16 week heartbeat being found. 🤦‍♀️

    GTKY: Rollercoasters. Love them or hate them?
    Well since I picked this question, LOVE THEM.  😃  Every year the husband and I have a “us” day, and we get fast passes, go to Cedar Point without the kids and ride all of the roller coasters and eat all the food. It’s magical. This year was a little different, and we brought our girls with us, and they rode the biggest ones they could for their height.  I couldn’t believe how fearless they were!

    @aisukurimsarang you get your results on 10/5 or the test done on 10/5?  I’ll be thinking of you!

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
    Symptom wise, my stomach is feeling better thanks to Diclegis. Still not perfect but quite a bit better. Otherwise I’m tired and bloated, normal first tri stuff!
    Mentally and emotionally, I’m happy to be leaving the 10th week. That’s when my miscarriage happened between DD1 and DD2, so it’s kind of a milestone to me to make it to week 11. The closer I get to second tri, the more hopeful I feel. 

    Any upcoming appointments? 
    I go in person again October 8!

    Haaaate them. My palms are sweating just thinking about it. 😂 I am terrified of heights!

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? The nausea and vomiting has been pretty bad this week. Otherwise headaches, congestion, so so tired. My boob soreness has been fluctuating a little bit. I had one day where I was super hungry this week, and I sort of freaked out that something had to be wrong, but then the nausea and vomiting came back in full force. Emotionally I am swinging between waiting for something to be wrong, and being very hopeful. 

    Any upcoming appointments? Genetic counselors/testing 10/12 and then in person 10/23

    GTKY: Rollercoasters. Love them or hate them? Hmm, I don't mind them normally, but right now with the nausea I can't even think about them. 

    @BuckeyeNut05 I know how you feel with the fluctuating nausea; it makes you fear the worst. Also, we are genetic testing date twins! I'll be sending you positive thoughts. 

    @bblair24 yay! Celebrating the start of week 11! You did it! <3

    How far along are you? 10 weeks 4 days

    How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)?
    I'm feeling a little less nauseous, last week was absolutely horrible for nausea, so of course I'm freaking out about feeling better. I'm still tired. I eat constantly which is fabulous since I gained so much wait during quarantine, and I'm only allowed to gain 12 pounds this pregnancy. Ugh. 

    Emotionally, I talk about the baby being here next year. It still doesn't feel like I'm pregnant though. I was just chatting about it with my husband. We both are hesitant to be excited, we definitely have our guards up and I hate it. 

    Any upcoming appointments? 10/9 I procrastinated getting an appointment, and this is the first time at my new doctor so it's another new patient appointment. That means I get to tell every person at the hospital about my miscarriages again, ugh. Plus, this hospital doesn't assign you an OB so I have to see all of them, and my first doctor is a guy. I've never had a male OB before! Plus, I have to drive 45 minutes to the doctor because we live in the middle of nowhere. Honestly, I just need to hear that heart beat. Our missed misscarriage was found at 12 weeks and I can't handle not knowing if things are ok. We're just so close to that point of pregnancy again and I'm freaking out.

    I like a good medium scary rollercoaster. Some upside down is fine, one big drop is fine, but anything more than that nah. I couldn't do like the tower of terror, straight drops are not ok.

    @BuckeyeNut05, test is done Monday. Results will be two weeks or so later, OF we get them at all. Last time, my OB had to call them and they were like, Oooh yes. We have them, did you want the results? I didn't want to go back to this perinatal clinic, but it's a different location and a different doc... So, I said I'd give it shot. I just got a call from them reminding me why I prefer the other clinic I went to after this one's disaster.
