    Baby is the size of a: sweet pea
    Team blue/pink/green: 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Upcoming Appointments: 9/20, first prenatal 
    How are you feeling?: Today I'm fine. A little abdominal pinching, sore boobs. Other days I've had nausea, back pain, mood swings. 
    Rants/Raves: waiting for the first appointment is torture.
    Questions: I have had fibroids on my uterus & right ovary. Do you feel those as things grow and change?
    GTKY: What’s your biggest pet peeve? The anxiety is isolating. Laying awake at night with thoughts going 1000mph.

    STM
    EDD / Weeks + Days: 4/27 6w6d
    Baby is the size of a:  chocolate chip
    Team blue/pink/green: Not sure yet. We were team Green with our first, but I kind of want to find out this time
    Upcoming Appointments: 9/21 confirmation of pregnancy 
    How are you feeling?: super sick and super tired. I don't remember it being this bad last time, but it probably was. 
    Rants/Raves: it's really hard to keep this pregnancy a secret, especially when I don't feel well. My best friend is in the middle of her 2nd ivf transfer after her first one failed. It would be amazing for us to be pregnant together, but I'm scared her transfer won't be successful and then I'll still have to tell her I'm pregnant. I have no idea how to handle this. 😕 
    Questions: none at the moment
    GTKY: What’s your biggest pet peeve? I just wish I could eat normally again!

    FTM
    EDD / Weeks + Days: April 24th/7w4d
    Baby is the size of a: Blueberry!
    Team blue/pink/green: 🤱 any
    Upcoming Appointments: 9/26 with OBGYN for ultrasound!
    How are you feeling?: nauseous, exhausted, sore boobs and just drained. 
    Rants/Raves: my husband has been amazing so far. Preparing our guest room to change to a nursery, getting me anything I need. Creating a calm space for me to relax. 

    GTKY: What’s your biggest pet peeve? Repetitive sounds that are inconsistent. Like pen clicking or people humming on and off. Its weird and my irritation has been amplified already with pregnancy lol

    FTM/STM/TTM+: first! 

    EDD / Weeks + Days: 4/25, 7w2d

    Baby is the size of a: blueberry🫐

    Team blue/pink/green: healthy 💞

    Upcoming Appointments: 9/21- graduating from my fertility clinic 🎉 9/28- first appointment at my OB

    How are you feeling?: we heard the heartbeat in my monitoring appointment this week, this made it more real! For symptoms, fatigue, extreme bloating, tender breast and a bit backed up 😓

    Rants/Raves: I’ve been listening to a pregnancy podcast and can’t believe that 1st and 2nd trimester, appointments are only every 4 weeks. I’m used to going to my fertility clinic every week so this will be an adjustment!

    Questions: anyone considering themselves a ‘high risk’ pregnancy and if you are engaging a MFM? 

    GTKY: What’s your biggest pet peeve? Nothing really is bothering me!

    @ftmsd514 It was definitely an adjustment for me after my ivf pregnancy to only have monthly appointments! But they ramp up over time. 

    I went to an mfm for my anatomy scan last pregnancy,  but was otherwise followed by midwives. They did some additional monitoring because of my age and the fact that I did end up developing gestational diabetes (despite no risk factors other than AMA and IVF). Why would you be high risk?

    Okay, this makes sense, thank you! I am high risk because of family history (my mother died during childbirth) and also I had asherman’s so I am at a higher risk for placenta accreta.

    *lurking from group 1* @ftmsd514 I was referred to MFM due to my son’s condition, going to call and set up an appt for further testing today. I don’t think I’ll be seeing them regularly, but it looks like they do all initial testing. I’m considered low risk for now, but it could change.

    @etnyah good luck! I hope you’ll stay low risk! I will probably ask about when I go for my first OB appointment, they know my history also so it shouldn’t be a surprise.
