Re: Weekend check in 10/15-10/17
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: First appt oct 18th
How are you feeling?: Like crap. I have been so nauseas I can't keep anything down.
Rants/Raves: My first pregnancy I had the all day sickness but I also didn't have an appetite. This time I'm sick all the time but also starving and it makes me miserable. I am trying to just eat small amounts but it won't stay down.
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? My husband is doing the spartan race which I was supposed to do with him. So kinda sad about that but plan to try to just chill this weekend.
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: just had pregnancy confirmation appointment this week & they did blood work and are adjusting my meds. Baby is already throwing off my TSH level. Waiting for the OB in my requested area to call once they process my referral.
How are you feeling?: sore boobs, sore back, sore uterus, nauseous.
Rants/Raves: I told my brother I was pregnant last night & he said congrats & that it was cool. After he left he texted my mom saying he was pissed at me. Him and his girlfriend started trying at the exact same time as my partner & I and I guess me getting pregnant first is upsetting. We (as in they & us) only started trying in SEPTEMBER. You heard that correctly folks. Last month. I tried for two years to have my son and *TW suffered multiple losses*. I would never have assumed it would have happened this fast and it’s really disheartening to know that one of my closest family members is mad about it.
Questions: Does anyone else already have a completed baby registry? Haha.
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? Take my son to his papas for apple picking and cleaning the house.
FTM/STM/TTM+: 4th time bio mom
Upcoming Appointments or Results: Nov 8 and it feels years away
How are you feeling?:
MOODY. Exhausted, my sense of smell is crazy pants, food aversions, some small waves of nausea here and there, starving all the time but nothing seems good.
Rants/Raves:
Rant: I got a Stitch Fix I didn't want bc I forgot to reschedule it. I hate everything in it and I almost cried even though I didn't want it and can't use anything in there anyway! lol
Rave: DH got me an espresso machine for our anniversary and I can't wait to try it out! I got him a new baby....
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend?
We were going to get a baby sitter and go out to dinner on Saturday for our anniversary but I'm not feeling up to it so we're going to order food and watch a movie instead. I am going to bake something delicious for dessert though!
@ournextadventure Sorry you're feeling so crappy!
5 weeks 1 day
FTM/STM/TTM+: round 3
Upcoming Appointments or Results:
next week they’re checking my HCG again. Last time they took it I was dpo 12 and it was 32 then dpo 14 it was 86 which is great the doctor was very happy with it but with my low progesterone she wants to check again closer to 6 weeks. But I’ve had no miscarriage symptoms so that’s a great sign.
How are you feeling?:
im okay- a little tired, sore boobs but not horrible. I’m occasionally a little nauseous. Mainly I’m just overly emotional
Rants/Raves:
rant-
I just found out my husbands “quick business trip” in December got extended to two weeks 😭 which isn’t awful I mean when he deploys he’s gone a year but I know I’ll be at the height of my morning sickness with two kiddos who miss daddy and I’m just not looking forward to it.
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend?
takingbthe kids to a Halloween festival and picking out their costumes, getting the brakes changed, potentially seeing my
mother in law after mass on Sunday.
so I like the idea of a weekly check in and a weekend check in and I like the random topics each day, but I think we should make our symptom thread monthly and get a few staple threads pinned like ask a STM, ultra sounds, names, baby gear, etc
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: First appointment is October 28th and still feels so far away
How are you feeling?: Constipated and tired. I am very thankful I only have a few bouts of nausea here and there.
Rants/Raves: The vivid dreams can end any time now. I am having a hard time sleeping because I can't get comfortable/have to pee a million times a night, and on top of that having the weirdest dreams every night.
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? Packing up our house. We have been taking our sweet time preparing our house to sell, but now we really need more space for baby and to be closer to my job when/if WFH ends. And I need to be closer to my mama.
FTM/STM/TTM+:STM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: hcg levels were 147 tue pm and 238 thur am OB says they're low and got me all nervous about a loss. First telemed visit Tues 19
How are you feeling?: a little off today, not very hungry and just feeling weird. Crampy
Rants/Raves: found wegmans has some very nice NA cocktails so that made my Friday.
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? If the rain holds off I'm going for a hike and to my favorite bakery for a cupcake. It's my DD's heavenly birthday so just honoring her and what we liked to do together.

GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend?
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM!!
Upcoming Appointments or Results: blood work will be done Monday and first appt will be 11/11
How are you feeling?: the nauseous has hit very hard.
Rants/Raves: I just want to tell everyone! Only my husband and my boss know (so I can have days off easily for appts) for know. Would at least like to make it to the first appt without spilling the beans. Also very excited to work on being involved in this type of community. I think it will help ease my anxiety knowing I’m not alone even on days/weeks I don’t post as much.
Questions: anyone else going into their pregnancy as type 2 diabetic?
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? My mom is coming to visit on Sunday. Bit more nervous than excited.
Town hall- a post for abbreviations maybe? I’m new to the bump community and have been able to figure out most of them but it would still be helpful!
I get that husband thing 100% and hope he’s less frustrating for you as you get further along!
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: 1st prenatal Nov 3rd. Feels like forever. I can’t wait for the ultrasound
How are you feeling?: moody, nausea, can’t make days past 9pm which sucks cause 18,month is down by 8:30
Rants/Raves: my house suddenly smells like dog to me, my dogs have terrible farts, I can smell my toddler’s poop before she even does it…
also I’m feeling triggered because every time I’m walking 18 month old and two dogs everyone keeps saying “you’ve got your hands full”… I keep thinking… great, they don’t even know!
Questions: Why does first trimester feel so torturous?
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend?
Love the daily and weekly threads.thank you for all you organized bumpies
@caseys02 happy heavenly birthday Zoey 🍰 that sounds like a lovely way to honor her.
@furmama2babymama i like that thread idea. I’ll start one! We’ve been talking about moving too 😬 our house is comfortable with the four of us but adding a fifth seems like a lot lol

I'm also starting to feel anxious about my first appointment on Thursday. I'm afraid it won't be good news. Just paranoia but....yea.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results:
Had an early ultrasound on Friday and could see our tiny grain of rice fluttering ❤️ Follow up appointment/call with obgyn sometime this week
How are you feeling?: Just had my first serious bout of morning sickness and lost my breakfast lol - boobs are sore, I’m tired most of the time, and a little moody.
Rants/Raves:
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? We had some friends over last night for board games. It was fun but I was really tired and none of them know we are pregnant so it was really tempting to tell them. I wonder if my 5 trips to the bathroom gave it away? lol
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: ultrasound tomorrow 😬
How are you feeling?: just really tired!
Rants/Raves: it still doesn’t feel real. We have told a couple people but barely talk about it otherwise. I feel like until I see the ultrasound (despite strong betas) it just doesn’t feel real.
Questions:
GTKY- what’s your plans for the weekend? Yesterday we did a lot (too much!) so today we are taking it easy.
@scostel2 I still feel like its surreal also! I think I'm nervous and need more symptoms and some time to go by for it to really sink in.
@starkette Good luck with the u/s!
@cheraec People need to mind their own business! No one needs your stupid comments.... I'm feeling ragey enough to let that piss me off for you haha.
@mamachameleon my advice as an experienced situation changer is if you think you should change it then you should
