Re: Weekly Check-In 4/11
Emotionally - pretty good, very anxious at times since this is the longest I've gone without an appointment/scan.ย It depends what time of day you ask me!
Questions:ย Has anyone had an early anatomy scan in addition to the normal 20 week anatomy scan?ย I'll be 16 weeks and its an extra precaution due to my IVF transfer and loss last year.ย I have read and watched a ton of content about the 20 week scan (which looks so fascinating/fun), but I'm not so sure what to expect at the early one.

I'll be going to my grandmother-in-law's house for lunch.ย Besides her none of us are actually religious, but it's always nice to have a reason for a big family meal.ย I have a wedding to attend the night before which will be by far the latest I've stayed awake in months so we'll see what my stamina is like!
Questions: how did you cope with 4 weeks between pictures before you could feel baby?
GTKY: telling my in-laws we are pregnant on all saints Saturday. I have to work on Sunday.ย
- I hate being self-conscious about my weight and feeling guilty about gaining during Dr's weigh-ins. I'm pretty slim in my normal state, and eat healthy and exercise quite a bit and generally have a pretty stable weight. It balloons in pregnancy though and I hate it when people assume I must be cramming large pizzas and cakes nonstop. It just happens and I don't know why. I lost it fairly quickly last time though.
- My best friend is visiting next week, and she's bringing tons of Easter stuff for my daughter. I'm so pumped to see her and do fun things around town.
Questions: none

We're not religious, but celebrate for the fun of it and general celebration of springtime. We're doing an egg hunt with my daughter and a basket, and I'll make a brunch and have my parents over. Should be nice weather and we can eat outside
@jiliboo I think it's hardest right now because you likely aren't feeling the baby move yet-- but after the next appointments, you'll feel regular movements and be showing and growing. It helps to have that daily proof that there is indeed a moving baby in there. And most low-risk people only get the anatomy scan and dating scans, so you might not see baby at all during the second half of pregnancy! [Edit-- sorry, I see you were asking specifically about this time before you could feel movements!!] I guess for right now it's just more waiting and trusting in your body. Starting to show helps, and if you have a doppler you could try that, with the caveat that they can cause more stress if you have trouble finding the HB.
Questions: In general I need to figure out the whole c section recovery process, but thatโs a question for another group.

We plan on decorating eggs with our kids and having then look for eggs Sunday morning. My mom is coming for the weekend, my brother and SIL are coming Saturday and weโre celebrating a bit on Sunday too.

๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด?: The constant nausea has definitely gotten better and is more intermittent, but I usually always feel terrible in the evenings, usually after dinner. I think maybe itโs heartburn?? I have so much pressure in my stomach, which maybe is just being gassy, but not sure about that either. If anyone has felt this or has thoughts, please help! I feel like Iโm going crazy and am ready for baby to be out already! But then get so disheartened thinking that this is just the beginning and I have 6 more months and am going to get MUCH bigger!
๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐/๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐: I hate not feeling like myself, feeling low back pain, stomach weirdness, and not being able to work out like I used to.
Questions: Please tell me Iโm not going crazy and that things will be okay!
GTKY: weโre going to my in laws house on Sunday and will do our little gender reveal with them! Theyโre so kind and loving, and Iโm so happy my baby will have them close.
I am almost 14w and similarly my constant nausea has been gone since 13w, but I crash HARD around dinner and then become SO bloated/gassy/uncomfortable.ย I think it's because dinner is my biggest meal?ย I do well with having small snacks throughout the day, but I like to have a decent dinner meal with my vitamins and just in general...to deal I just usually try to go to bed as soon as I can.ย Not great advice, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone!
@krysnicole1022 & @EmilyE13 I think my main question right now is what will I feel comfortable wearing after the C-section with where the scar will be. My maternity clothes from my first two are mostly out of season, so Iโm probably going to be picking up more and wanting some that will be comfortable after too.
Questions: PGAL moms, I was going to resurrect our check-ins but make them monthly. Does that sound good to you? I always feel like I lean pretty heavily on fellow PGAL ladies for some of the anxieties of pregnancy, so Iโd like to keep that thread up if you all want it.ย
GTKY: ย We will be at my in-lawsโ for Easter. Both girls and my husband will be driving, but Iโm flying. When I booked the ticket, it was because I had a trial coming up and needed to be back, but the trial got rescheduled. My MIL asked my husband if that meant Iโd be making the 9 hour drive with them instead. Um, nope. I will be thoroughly enjoying some solo flying (flying with a 4 and 2 year old like usual is a totally differently kind of experience!). I do have work on Monday I need to be in front of a computer for instead of on my phone in the middle of nowhere, so I still feel somewhat justified in keeping the flight!

ย Seeing a few of my friends and having a pizza party. 2 of them donโt know so that will be fun. Tiny family dinner tomorrow and then probably watching tv with my partner - weโre on a Survivor binge and Severence.ย
