  How are you doing with everything at the moment?
  Better mentally since yesterday's scan and getting my NIPT results back. Those results were really weighing heavily on me. Still stupidly sick but feeling more and more optimistic every day that we might actually get to meet this little guy:) I don't know if me being sooooooo sick this time is partly due to age, but it is kicking my butt:/

  @Panaceia I fully blame my age for the way I've felt this time.  I was quite a bit younger with the first 2 and felt great the whole time... this time, not so much.

  How are you doing with everything at the moment?  I'm experiencing LOTS of heartburn and indigestion, I've been taking heartburn medicine everyday and the taste of Tums makes me want to puke these days.  I don't have so much nausea anymore, but the feeling of reflux constantly is pretty awful too.  I've been having a hard time with insomnia and feeling way more emotional than usual.  My NIPT test results were good and my genetic screen was good too.

  How are you doing with everything at the moment? I was feeling better but now I’m sick. DS is positive for RSV and I assume that’s what I’ve got, too, since my throat is killing me. Sick toddlers are sooooooo sad. ☹️
  

  
  

  But I’m feeling emotionally excited and hopeful about baby girl now that NIPT and NT scan have come back great. Really anxious to feel routine movement! 

  
  

  @jlbaker08 I’m struggling with insomnia, too. I dealt with it a lot in my pregnancy with DS so I’ve just accepted that my body for whatever reason rejects sleep when pregnant. So rude.

  How far along are you? 11 + 6 (my midwife just moved my due date back, so I lost two days womp womp)
  
  How are you doing with everything at the moment? Surprisingly well. I'm shocked and confused to say that and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, because my last pregnancy was SO hard, but right now I might actually be kind of enjoying being pregnant. Food tastes so good these days, and I am loving that. I'm getting some of that mythical second-trimester energy. And I feel really hopeful that the rest of this pregnancy is going to go well.
