    Anything different about this pregnancy than you've noticed in previous pregnancies or from other threads? I'm so much more tired. I'm not sure if it's because I'm 32 and my other pregnancies I was in my mid 20s or if it's because I'm making quadruplets 🤣

    Self care for this week: my husband has Wednesday off so I plan on sleeping literally the entire day

    Hey Moms of Multiples, how we doing? I'm feeling super exhausted, like all the time. I know 1st trimester is exhausting, and growing people is hard work. I just feel like growing more than one person is excruciatingly painful and tiring.

    @bridgiebee82 I traveled and the way back took >24 hours to get to my home and I am so exhausted.  I've done that trip many times but this time felt so different.

    EDD/WeeksDays: 10w2d, 8/31 
    How many are you expecting? Two
    Fraternal/Identical: not sure yet but the doctor thinks identical, will know more after my next ultrasound 
    Do you know the gender? Not yet but planning on finding out 
    How do you feel? Honestly this week I feel like crap. Nausea has set in, especially on my night shifts at the hospital, I’m still so exhausted and struggling to fit workouts in my routine, and I feel like my skin is terrible right now. All I want to do is sleep. 
    Anything different about this pregnancy than you've noticed in previous pregnancies or from other threads? This is my first pregnancy. 
    Questions: advice for the nausea? Fatigue? I know I should probably be looking into baby things and maternity clothes as I’m now starting to show a bit but I feel so unmotivated. 
    Self care for this week: I’m going to try to do at least one workout and then relax a bit and not stress about cleaning or other stuff.

    I used to really like the Redwall series. Something about them appealed to me and my friends and I used to read them together in middle school.

    @kbtt2022 oh gosh, I can't imagine that trip.
    @sarahdaley11 if it makes you feel any better I haven't even started looking at maternity clothes yet. I'm just too overwhelmed with everything.

    Advice: don’t do something you are nervous about 😅

    Self care for this week: rest and not googling listeria

    @kbtt2022 I also was put on baby aspirin. They just told me it can reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia by 50%. So I definitely would rather take it than not.

    Lurking*

    @bezuidenhout_sarahe I’ve eaten cold cuts a few time this pregnancy already, and in my last pregnancy. My doctor told me that the risk of food borne illnesses is higher in thinks like ice cream and bagged salad, which we are never told to avoid (and don’t have to!). She says the bigger issue is the nitrates because we don’t know how they affect the fetus(s). Basically it’s fine in moderation.
     All of that to say, don’t stress about it!

    @bezuidenhout_sarahe I buy organic turkey (no nitrates) and have had several turkey sandwiches! It's one if the only types of meat I care to eat right now.  My OB approved and said the risk is very low and higher with cantaloupe so not to stress 🤷‍♀️

    Also lurking and just here to say that my OB also said cold cuts from a reputable source (not even sure what that means, lol) are totally fine. If it makes you feel any better I ate sushi last weekend.

    Thank you all! I do feel much better about it and will try not to dwell on it anymore!
