I pee myself when I puke, every time which is frequently, so not great…

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

I don’t think I have ever felt so tired in my life. Also dieting for Mexico so that sucks haha

krthouse · March 2022

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: October 4th, 9w 6d (though I'm like 1/2 an hour away from 10w)

𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮(𝗻) / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: Cherry, can fit on the face of a watch, and the heart is developed

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: STM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Finding Out

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Wednesday! Virtual check-in with midwife, not sure if she'll have me come in for a doppler

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: I had way more me time today than I've had in ages and for once wasn't totally exhausted so I got a massive amount of school-related to-dos off my list. Feeling relieved! Still nauseous in waves, but getting better at managing it.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant: I've been reacting to hand sanitizer (this happened in my last pregnancy too) and my hand looks like it's part lizard. Not ideal in an ongoing pandemic where you need to sanitize everywhere you go, especially appointments. Rave: DS has gotten really into given me big kisses on my shoulder when we have a good hug and it is the SWEETEST thing ever

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Anyone else already visibly pregnant to others?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? Crocodile? Sweetbreads? I feel like something else too (I'm an adventurous eater when not preggy) but I don't know what is considered adventurous to others. I've gone to tasting menus before where I couldn't tell you what I was eating but I could guess it was something different. I don't think you could pay me to do a tasting menu right now though unless it's all bagels and fruit 😂🥯🍊🍇🍓🍐

merostomata · March 2022

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: 9w3d, due Oct 8th (for now!)

𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮(𝗻) / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: Soda tab, apparently. The Bump has the most random comparisons

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: STM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Finding out eventually

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: First OB appt on Friday! Frickin' fi-na-ly...if they don't scan me I'm going to freak

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Meh. I'm excited for my appointment, but I'm sooooo exhausted and just meh. The nausea has been more intense, I'm constantly congested, and just overall cannot be bothered. My husband is leaving town for a week next week and daycare is on spring break, so I'm really going to have to rally. I also am experiencing some on-and-off pelvic floor issues. I had a mild uterine prolapse after giving birth to my daughter, which mercifully resolved after a few months and many thousands of kegals. I feel like my uterus is just really low and my cervix is like, *right there*. I will ask about it at the appointment.
Also I've been dealing with some mental health issues on and off. Loads of anxiety as well as depression.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

Rave= my daughter has been the cutest and super fun to be around. And my husband has been awesome taking over so much, except for the whole next-week issue. Last night she randomly told us "I want a baby brother. But not a sister." And we have not told her we're expecting yet! wut

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Any other STMs+ experiencing pelvic floor issues?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: When I was in college I went on a study abroad to East Africa, and we spent some time with a hunter-gatherer tribe. At one point they hunted a hyrax (small, rabbit like mammal that is actually more related to elephants) who happened to be pregnant and grilled it over a fire, which we all sampled. Normally I oscillate between being a vegetarian and an almost-vegetarian though so I'm not so into the meats.
Also, Marmite. It's not really an obscure food at all but it's just the strangest taste to me and I'm amazed that millions of people eat it every day

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Green

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Tomorrow 03/09 is my (hopefully) last appointment/scan with my RE & then I have another appointment 03/11 with my OBGYN to check in with her.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Physically I feel like shit during waking hours

I am nauseous, have a constant metallic taste, am so exhausted, am stuffy, have acne like a teenager, etc. Emotionally I am so, so nervous, but excited! Plus, my husband hasn't been allowed to any of my RE appointments because of strict COVID protocol so Friday will be the first scan for him.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rants: It's been so hard keeping the pregnancy private from our big network of family and friends. Right now only a couple of my close friends know and we plan to tell our immediate family and other close friends once we hit 12 weeks. I'm getting so many questions and I am running out of good lies lol
Raves: I'm taking a staycation from work most of next week. I've been so tired and having a hard time focusing on my tasks. Hopefully this is a nice reset for me.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: What's a typical prenatal appointment schedule? I've tried to do some online research and it seems like once a month until later on?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? This is so subjective, but I ate flying squirrel soup in Thailand which I think takes the cake.

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: 10W3D per my calculations.

𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮(𝗻) / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: brussel sprout. Ew. I hate those.

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: FTM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Looking forward to finding out.

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: virtual entry appt to a hospital closer to my in-laws than where my first one was, then first US on Friday at 3pm, then maybe genetic screening next week.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Fatigued. I hate being this exhausted and looking forward to 2nd trimester. Fatigue makes me feel sick, although my nausea is really manageable and I haven’t puked at all. I could really do with a little more energy. Everything takes effort.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rant. I looked over forecasting numbers for next year and two of my classes won’t have enough students to exist, and they’re good classes. Small school, low attendance, few college-motivated students… I’m devastated and barely holding it together. Trying to come up with options and feeling really tempted to say “F it, I’ll just go down to 75% or 50% and I won’t have to care and those slots just won’t exist.”

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: When do you buy maternity clothes? Also, are there different ones for different parts of the pregnancy?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten?
Like by my standards, pretty much nothing, but I’m from Sweden and living in the US. Reindeer jerky, horse meat (not great, don’t recommend), blood sausage, Swedish Kaviar (Kalles Kaviar, smoked cod’s roe). I had to smell fermented herring once which was close enough for me. I recommend “fermented herring” try videos on YouTube.

merostomata · March 2022

@sandy5693 in terms of prenatal appointments, yep usually once a month until the third trimester! They should (hopefully) go over this in-depth with you at your first appointment. The usual schedule for a low-risk pregnancy is roughly:

- Once per month, first and second trimesters (weeks 8-28)
+ Optional first trimester screens, like NIPT or NT (10-14 weeks)
+ Mid-pregnancy anatomy scan (18-22 weeks)
+ Gestational diabetes screen (24-28 weeks)
- Every two weeks, third trimester (weeks 29-36)
- Every week, last month of third trimester (weeks 36 until delivery), might include non-stress tests

@pangolindrome I will most definitely NOT be taking you up on those fermented herring try videos, lol

just thinking about it sends the ole barf receptors on alert

krthouse · March 2022

@merostomata I have a rectocele prolapse from delivering my first and am definitely having some leakage issues already this pregnancy.

@sandy5693 My midwives follow exactly what @merostomata said above re: appointment line-up for low-risk pregnancies.

@pangolindrome When you buy depends a lot on when you show and your size. Some people can get away without getting much by way of maternity-specfic clothing and just size up. I'm already showing at 10 weeks and have needed to dig into my maternity clothing stash from my first pregnancy for a couple of items, namely pants. In my first pregnancy I remember needing a new bra pretty quickly and haven't gone back to underwire since. I'm still able to get away with wearing my flowy dresses and some looser tops, but I've already ordered a few items. Also a good thing to remember is that you may need your maternity clothes for a month or two after having baby as your bump goes down, so make sure to get some warmer options for October, November and maaaaybe December. Oversized sweaters work too.

sandy5693 · March 2022

Thank you @merostomata & @krthouse So helpful! This holds me over until Friday when I plan to ask so many questions.

merostomata · March 2022

@krthouse sorry you're experiencing effects from the rectocele. Childbirth really does a number on us, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing, it does help to know I'm not alone in PF issues. Sometimes it feels like it, although I suspect they're actually way more common and we just don't talk about it enough.

Also for @pangolindrome, I didn't need different maternity wear for different parts of pregnancy, except for one pair of exercise pants that became too tight at some point during the third trimester. Maternity pants are usually designed to grow with you, with either the panel thing or just going under the bump. Shirts are pretty stretchy anyway. So hopefully a few main pieces will last the whole way through!

And I'm really sorry about the classes

That must be disappointing. I hope you can figure out a solution with your administrator that works well for you. If you do reduce hours, it could be a nice opportunity with a new baby-- I did 75% time after maternity leave and it was perfect, but that's totally up to you.

krthouse · March 2022

@merostomata Pelvic floor issues are incredibly common! It's an area of women's health that is severely neglected. My midwives advocate for all of their patients with coverage to work with a pelvic floor physio both through pregnancy and postpartum. The health problems women deal with later in life from this being neglected can even be severe. I suspect if men had the same thing it would be covered 😒

Rants: it's hard to keep this secret. My dad guessed on his own since I wasn't drinking 😂 My significant other has a huge family and he's been wanting to keep it a secret. Hard to do when I feel like crap all the time and work with his family every day.

Ostrich sandwich...tasted like a roast beef sandwich.

pangolindrome · March 2022

@krthouse thank you. It does NOT help me that I don’t like dresses, but I’m definitely not showing yet at week 10… even if I feel like I might be relatively soon. I’m a B cup and I’ve, currently, gone from “small B” to “full B” so my bras are still fine 😂 so I’ve never had to wear an underwire bra. They make my ribs hurt, so I avoid them anyways.

@merostomata that sounds good to me, haha. I look forward to not wearing work clothes during third tri, at least not most of it thanks to summer vacation.
And yeah, I have given my principal a “I’m open to other classes but this is an idea I’m entertaining” and it’ll all depend on my husband’s work when we get there, which we won’t know about until we get there. It would be amazing to go down to 75% if we can manage it. It would be for a year, I know there will be students for those classes for 2023-24.

𝗘𝗗𝗗 / 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 + 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀: Oct 6th/9w6d. @LoMarie89 due date buddies!

𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮(𝗻) / 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: water bottle top

𝗙𝗧𝗠/𝗦𝗧𝗠/𝗧𝗧𝗠+/𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: FTM

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Still thinking about it, but leaning towards finding out.

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 2nd appt is on 3/24.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: Tired, tired, tired. Get home and pass out by 7:30 some days. Now starting to have slight nausea around the same time in the morning, but I’ve been stuff crackers in my face to help lol. Also, this gas is ridiculous y’all. 😬

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: The stress of this year at work is crazy. I’m a teacher and got to say this has been my toughest yet in the 9 years I’ve taught. I promised myself not to let things get to me, but my class/coworkers are making it tough! Luckily I’ve told my admin and few close coworkers and they are so supportive!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: @sandy5693 My question was the same! I’ve looked up when the typical ultrasounds are done because I had one at week 8 and this next appt I won’t have one. So I’m assuming I’ll get one at week 16?

I also wanted to see if anyone else had to do a 24hr urine sample? My OBGYN explained that I’ll need to do one, but with me just listening and not fully processing everything she said until after I didn’t even ask why. Looked it up and is a way to screen or monitor for preeclampsia. I have white coat syndrome and blood pressure is THROUGH THE ROOF anytime I’m in a doc office. Guessing that’s why?

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten?
I’m Hispanic so I’ve had pretty much any type of taco you can think of: tongue, intestines, cow ear, cow brain, prob much more.

hotmessexpress89 · March 2022

@krthouse yes! I am getting a referral for Pelvic Floor PT at my first appointment. Mine is so bad!!

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: finding out

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Friday just like @merostomata

Ultrasound followed by “new pregnancy” appt with nurse.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?: So tired. Anxious for tomorrow, too.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I’m terrible at trying to hide this pregnancy. Met a co-worker buddy at a brewpub after work and had the waiter bring me a ginger beer in a mule mug. Co-worker immediately observed that mules weren’t on the menu and then just kinda looked at me and I blurted out “I’m pregnant!” His wife is pregnant with their third so he probably picked up on the off-menu drink faster than most.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: nope

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? I’ve had uni (sea urchin) at a sushi restaurant and liked the taste but not the consistency (mucous). In Ecuador I ate one of their traditional dishes: cuy. It’s guinea pig. Tasted like chicken.
