Nauseous, exhausted, insomnia, peeing all the time, frequent hunger waves, and today the food aversions kicked in real hard. That was the hardest part of first trimester w/ DS because I'm normally not a picky eater at all, but suddenly there are very few things I want and they change constantly. It means planning meals in advance makes me anxious because I don't know if I'll want it once the time comes to eat it. This pregnancy also feels more surreal, especially because my first ultrasound this time was so early that baby was just in a lil yolk sac. I'm looking forward to the next one when they'll look like a baby, albeit a small one. Navigating some anxiety around postpartum, as DS was born right in the thick of the first wave and I'd be stuck nursing him late at night doom scrolling through pandemic news and race riot news and I really struggled with PPA and intrusive thoughts. Fortunately I now have a great therapist who's aware of all this and my midwife is super supportive so I'm hoping all my extra communication ahead of time will help my team rally to prevent it being as bad this time around.

    @krthouse Iโ€™m sorry your symptoms are in full swing! Also I canโ€™t imagine having a baby at the beginning of the pandemic so your struggles were totally understandable. But Im sure it is scary to think about going through it again. We had to take DD to our Childrenโ€™s hospital when she was 5 days old (and then stayed there for 2 months) so I didnโ€™t get the true newborn experience the first time around and am concerned about how that may affect my mental health postpartum this time. I think itโ€™s great you already have a group of people who will be looking out for you.ย 


    Iโ€™ll do my check in later but I wanted to send good thoughts to

I had my US at the hospital and when things didn't look right, they sent us on our way without saying anything and I had to wait 24 hours to hear back from my dr's office. This time we have the appt at the same building as my dr so hopefully if we do need to speak to anyone we will be able to do it right away. Honestly I feel like I am going to be an emotional mess either way. I had some very light spotting and cramping over the weekend which I can't help but feel like it a bad sign, but I am just trying to be hopeful and get through to this appt.

    Least favorite is cleaning the shower. Itโ€™s strenuous and awkward even if it looks nice afterwards.
    On the other hand, I enjoy doing dishes. We havenโ€™t had a dishwasher since 2015ish since we started living in an RV, and I really enjoy watching a show and doing dishes.
    We had a Jayco Eagle for the first year-year and a half but have had a 2017 Keystone Montana 3820FK sinceโ€ฆ November or December 2016.
  • @krthouse that sounds so difficult having a baby right at the beginning of everything! It sounds like you've got some great support in place.

    @EmilyE13 I'm sorry you're sick! Not being able to take cold medicine makes it so much harder.

    @EmilyE13 When I had colds in my first pregnancy I found making ginger tea really helpful and it eased my nausea too. Peel an inch of ginger root and boil it for a bit, maybe 3-5 minutes. I drink the water with a bit of lemon and honey added. It's not as effective as cold meds but it does help a little and is safe for bubba

    Least favorite was cleaning the bathrooms, I've always been sensitive to bleach fumes. Now my least favorite is anything to do with food prep or cleanup. I used to like doing dishes. My favorite chores are gardening, patching things and fish tank maintenance since that's basically gardening under water.ย 
  • @ferret22 I find that if you always keep something in your stomach like crackers or pretzels it helps a bit. Whenever I let myself get too hungry I get nauseous. With my last pregnancy I used to keep a box of saltine crackers next to the bed.ย

  • @emilye13 I have the pulling/stretching feeling pretty regularly too. Hoping itโ€™s a good sign for both of us! I hope you get over the cold quickly! Also, I am having the same feelings about my ultrasound. I canโ€™t wait for it but Iโ€™m so so scared.ย 

    @runwmusic all of my symptoms have been off and on so I have been telling myself itโ€™s just my body getting used to the hormones. It makes me feel slightly better haha

    @tessiesmom26 I hope everything went okay today!ย 

    @pangolindrome being grossed out by textures is not something Iโ€™ve heard of before but sounds very very annoying!

    @shortstack930 fingers crossed for a great beta tomorrow! I think we may be going to Disney in June too! We need to wait until we can share the news with my in laws to plan for sure. I hope YDโ€™s sickness isnโ€™t covid.

    @sandy5693 I know there are chiros here that specialize in prenatal (maybe thatโ€™s not the right word, itโ€™s not all they do but they have expertise in that area) I would def be comfortable if you have the option for someone like thatย 

    @gbofo Iโ€™m sorry about the nausea! Eating is such a gamble for me because sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes it worse!

  • Thinking of you guys and your ultrasounds today @EmilyE13 and @sandy5693 โค๏ธโค๏ธ
  • @ferret22 each pregnancy something different helped me. My first was root beer barrel candies, my second was ginger chews. Eating some crackers before bed so your stomach has something in it can be a big help too.ย 

    @bows22 I hope you're right. I get so stuck in my head and all my husband says is there's nothing worrying is going to do. ๐Ÿ™„
  • @bows22 I wouldnโ€™t say grossed out so much as aggravated! Lol! I am an extremely tactile person, always have been, and I think it relates. The discomfort is kind of similar to the discomfort when you have just enough of a fever to feel bad but not enough to just sleep.ย 
  • @leobaby023 are you having a party for your twins birthday? Party planning is probably a nice distraction while waiting for your ultrasoundย 

    @shortstack930 I may have missed this somewhere but how was your beta yesterday?
