Weeks/EDD? 11+3 8/22

Previous loss(es) (share as much or as little as you like)? 9 week MMC, 14 week MMC, two CP

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?

Feeling decent other than occasional nausea and annoying insomnia. Anxiety is ever-present but starting to feel like this might actually happen as we get closer to 2nd tri.

Any appointment updates? We got our NIPT results last night! It took me a good hour to work up the courage to open my portal after I got the notification but baby is low-risk/normal in all categories and we found out it’s a boy! It’s sort of surreal to think about it having an identity.

Any big milestones? Normal NIPT results feels big but we’ve been here before with normal results and still ended up losing the baby so that’s always in the back of my mind.

Rants/Raves/Questions? I have a boy and a girl already so I didn’t *really* care what this baby would be, but for convenience purposes (room-sharing, easy hand-me-downs, etc) I was sort of hoping for a girl because my son will be 9 years older than this baby and my daughter will be 3 years older. But it always feels petty to complain about these things, even though I know I’m allowed to feel my feelings. I’m very grateful for a healthy baby and I know we’ll figure out logistics.

@coco2787 I am so glad everything came back normal and congratulations on your boy!!! You’re definitely allowed to feel your feelings, no shame at all!

Weeks/EDD? 13 weeks! 8/11

Previous loss(es) (share as much or as little as you like)? 5 week mc in July 2021

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? I’m still in a good place after a good ultrasound on Monday. Of course pgal gets me occasionally and I find myself thinking “why was baby so chill and not super wiggly” but I think we just caught her sleeping. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Physically I feel pretty good! A little tired in the afternoons, and constipated. But otherwise I feel decent.

Any appointment updates? I went Monday and everything was perfect. Baby looked great, heartbeat was good. I’m just waiting on the nt results and hoping I don’t get a call, and find out at my next appointment.

Any big milestones? Every week feels like a milestone. Almost to the second tri!!

Rants/Raves/Questions? We’re doing a gender scan next week Wednesday and I am having a hard time waiting. I’ve already told a bunch of people what we think we saw, or didn’t see rather, but told them all it’s not 100%.

Also today’s my dogs birthday 😁🎈 he’s 8!

Weeks/EDD? 8/18, 12w

Previous loss(es) (share as much or as little as you like)? MC at 6/7 weeks in Feb, 2019.

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Nausea seems to be easing! Still have a few moments during the day where it feels brutal, but it eventually passes.

Any appointment updates? Currently at the Dr. for my 3 hr glucose test. Just drank the awful 'juice' and now waiting an hour for the next blood draw.

Any big milestones? I have a boutique u/s on 2/17 at 14w. If everything looks good, I think the worry/wonder will ease up.

Rants/Raves/Questions? DS turned two yesterday. It was so fun to spoil him!

paytonpedro · February 2022

@malloryfrommn happy birthday to your boy!! 🎈🎈 Good luck on your glucose test!!! And yay for the nausea finally easing up for you!

Weeks/EDD?
10 + 1 / 31 August

Previous loss(es) (share as much or as little as you like)?

5 week MC, and back to back 11 week MC, 8 week MC.

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
I think I’m starting to get sick and I don’t have time for that. Symptoms are the same but manageable. The relaxin has messed up my hips already. Yesterday got really uncomfortable. It’s probably time to start doing the pregnancy specific yoga.

Any appointment updates?

Next Thursday for NT and NIPT bloodwork.

Any big milestones?
Next week I will probably be freaking out that something bad will happen at the ultrasound since that’s how we found out with our 11 week MC.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
All Day Sickness is miserable. The meds help but I still am dry heaving or gagging every single day. Bleh. I’m just ready to fast forward to like 14/15 weeks. Second trimester is my favorite 🤣 Also, we got our Valentine’s pictures back Tuesday and they turned out good. I should use them to announce on social media but my brain goes back and forth on if J want to actually post them or if I want to wait.

@coco2787 congratulations on a healthy baby boy! I am so glad everything came back normal/low risk. Definitely understand how you feel. The good news is, you son and daughter can still room share for a while before they would need their own rooms. So maybe that’s an option you can consider. My oldest sister and I ended up sharing a room. We were 7 years apart. It was actually pretty nice because of the difference in our ages. Plus I got my own room when she went to college.

@paytonpedro Happy Birthday to your puppy! And I really hope you get your girl!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@malloryfrommn good luck on the glucose. I hate the drink so much! Happy Birthday to your son!

paytonpedro · February 2022

@mdfarmchick I’ll be thinking of you next week for your u/s! I feel like my nausea was worse at 10 weeks (ugh the constant dry heaving!) but by 11 weeks I was feeling it ease up a ton. I hope the same for you! Valentines pictures sound so cute and now I want to do them! Lol.

malloryfrommn · February 2022

@mdfarmchick I'll be thinking about you next week! Those milestones can cause so much anxiety. Like @paytonpedro my nausea started to ease at 11 weeks, so hoping it's just around the corner for you!

@paytonpedro thanks for the wishes on the glucose test! Hoping I pass.

Weeks/EDD?10w3d/ Aug 30th

Previous loss(es) (share as much or as little as you like)?
Lost twin sons at 20 weeks

Lost a son at 12 days old (also a twin)
Lost a daughter at 13w6d

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Im all over the map emotionally. Hormones have me acting cray cray

Any appointment updates? Had an appointment with the high risk team on Wednesday and had an Arabian pessary placed to help my cervix stay as stable as possible. We will be seeing them every 3 weeks with ultrasounds each visit

Any big milestones? I was pretty excited to hit double digits as far as gestation 😂 probably not really a milestone but it helps me count down until we are out of the first trimester

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so all over the place emotionally. Risk wise I'm counting down to be out of the first trimester but our last loss was at almost 14 weeks for unknown reasons so even though miscarriage risks drop I'm getting antsy about inching closer to when we lost Willa. I always feel like leading up to those dates are so hard and once we get past them I can take a deep breath. It's hard with being on edge through the whole first trimester because that's when we have the biggest risk overall and then having losses at 13 weeks, 20 weeks and our second set of twins were born at 23 weeks and we lost Elijah at 12 days old it's just so overwhelming. I try not to let my mind go there because when I do I check out and I feel like a bad mom, wife and friend

mdfarmchick · February 2022

@Karissa764 it is so hard when you have those milestones to get past. Hugs.

coco2787 · February 2022

@Karissa764 you’ve been through so much 💔, I’m sorry you don’t feel like you can ever relax (and I’m sure quads adds a whole other level of stress to the mix)

@paytonpedro it’s so hard not to question every detail. Try to keep in mind that just like outside the womb some babies are chill and some babies are active!

@malloryfrommn ugh the 3 hour sound awful 😖 I saw in the other thread you passed, so yay!

@mdfarmchick the ultrasound anxiety is awful, my heart rate and blood pressure is always so high at those appointments. I hope everything goes perfect!

kbtt2022 · February 2022

@Karissa764 that is a lot to have gone through. Don't be so hard on yourself and feel what you need to feel! Prayers for a safe pregnancy and 4 healthy babies 💕
