Upcoming Appointments or Results: May 3rd will be my next appt. My mom is diabetic, so I'll need to do early glucose testing at this appt. I'm trying not to worry too much. I had a pretty carb heavy day for my first appt and my glucose was on the lower end of normal range and I didn't have GD with my first pregnancy. I also did Natera testing at my last appt, so I should get genetic testing results and gender with the next week and a half.
How are you feeling?: I've been doing better keeping my nausea under control so I've been able to eat better. Cooking meat is still a no-go. I'm getting really excited to share with family this upcoming weekend though!
Rants/Raves: Rant - I have 70 pages to read on cancers for work training and I just cannot stay focused today. Rave - Yesterday it was over 50° outside at 6pm, so we went on a walk as a family. It was soo nice to get some fresh air!
Questions: Anyone have any fun Easter plans or traditions? We are going to my parents house for a family get-together and an egg hunt for all of the kiddos (my son, nieces, nephews, and multiple cousin's kids).
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: I went in for a blood draw for NIPT this morning, should hear the results in a week or two. I’m planning to learn the sex, so I’m very excited for this one.
How are you feeling?: threw up this morning for the third time, the second Monday morning in a row so I’m taking this as a sign that my baby is also not a fan of me working lol. I’ve also noticed an increase in round ligament pain this week, I started getting it pretty early but mostly only when I coughed, this week I had it with movements like standing up or when using my ab muscles
Rants/Raves: I’ve been getting the urge to go to a private ultrasound to see the baby again. I don’t have any reason to need to so it’s probably not a great use of money but 🤷♀️
Questions: is anyone going to private ultrasound clinics between appointments? Is it even worth it to go at 10 weeks?
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: we saw baby last Wednesday and everything looked good. I go back May 23rd for another ultrasound to check on baby and my cervix. I had a cold knife cone procedure due to precancerous cells 10 years ago. My doctor likes to check and make sure that my cervix is cooperating.
How are you feeling?: all things considered I feel great. Which always makes me nervous.
Rants/Raves: rant- my son is sick AGAIN. We've been sick so much since September. It's insane. He had just gotten over a cold. We were healthy for a week and then him and my daughter came down with another cold last week. Then the poor kid barfed last night and again today and has had a fever and diarrhea. And we havent gone anywhere because of the cold last week so I have no idea where he picked it up. I'm probably going to lose it soon!
Rave- it was 72° out today. Did I get to enjoy it? Nope because of the sick kid but atleast it's getting warmer out 😆
Questions:
@manamo777 I've never gone to a private ultrasound but if you want to spend the money on one then do it!
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 11/5, 10w 3d
FTM/STM/TTM+: TTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: Next week is our first appt.
How are you feeling?: still dealing with nausea and fatigue. I am definitely feeling this pregnancy!
Rants/Raves: I am also dealing with sick kids. For the past week ds has been waking up every night having a coughing fit so hard he throws up.
Questions:
We aren't big into Easter, but coming from big catholic families I am sure we will wind up invited to do something.
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Upcoming Appointments or Results: We had our ultrasound fairly early (7 weeks) and my first prenatal appointment the week after. So far so good!
How are you feeling?: Super tired, very nauseous and bloated, insomnia, and a bit of weight gain from eating so often to stay ahead of the nausea. I also have a really bad metallic taste in my mouth - anyone else experiencing that?
Rants/Raves: Rants - My mom is driving me a little crazy with all her ideas for pregnancy announcements! She means well, so I’m trying to be grateful for her love and support. But wow she has endless ideas - each more complicated than the last! Work is pretty exhausting these days, too. But Raves - some nice warm weather has me in good spirits, in spite of the morning sickness. I love Easter and am so grateful it’s finally spring!
Questions: We’ll be telling the extended family at Easter so looking forward to that!

Upcoming Appointments or Results: I got my blood draw for my initial labs (I have very difficult to find veins--I will save the story of this blood draw because it was pretty dramatic) and the NIPT/S test yesterday. I have my next appointment April 27.
How are you feeling?: I am sick as hell, but feeling better today than I have in a while. Almost close to normal today. I do know I am dehydrated--my blood draw yesterday confirmed that, so my doctor gave me a bunch of Liquid IV packets lol
Rants/Raves: I just need to share how good the So Delicious Cashewmilk ice cream bars are--I get the salted caramel flavor and they are so dang good. I don't eat dairy or meat (except recently when I can only keep down, like, cereal with cow milk) and they're the best non-dairy ice cream out there.
Questions: No questions, just very anxious about my NIPT results!! (And also how much it's gonna cost lol)
I also feel you on the dramatic blood draw. During my first blood draw, they got out six large vials of blood before I went white as a sheet, threw up, and passed out. They told me from now on I'll have to be laying down with an icepack on the back of my neck.
@dumbledoredies - gastro bugs are going around. I work in a children's hospital and that's one of our top diagnoses right now. My son got it from his cousin and we dealt with that this past weekend, and I might have it now 🤮
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 11 weeks, November 4
But feeling better afterwards is nice. 🤷
I haven't heard of an early glucose screen. If you don't mind me asking is it a regular thing or was there a special reason? No pressure to answer if you are not comfortable sharing.
