azmamatobe · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 8W1D

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: SneakPeek says GIRL

Upcoming appointments: Not until February

How are you feeling? Some of the nausea has slowed down but yesterday I was sore

Raves/Rants: Home lenders need to lay it alllllll out before they send pre-qual letters 🙃 what they are now requesting is do-able but annoyed that we have to scramble now

Questions: none really

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without?

Hopelessly addicted to Facebook 😅 I love checking in with friends all over

mokamonster · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: Sept 27th/4+6

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green (fun fact: it's illegal to know the sex before birth in China!)

Upcoming appointments: first ultrasound Feb 1st (6 weeks) plus more blood work probably

How are you feeling? Not bad, just some constipation and slight nausea. I did almost throw up twice at the smell of fish (something I don't like already) and the taste of brussel sprouts (my fav).

Raves/Rants: Rant: I hate taking this progesterone! It makes me feel like poo even though I take it at night. I read some research saying it isn't shown to be beneficial in my specific case but I guess they just give it to everyone in China.
Rave: I've officially used the word "pregnant" to describe myself. It felt weird but now I love saying it. It's still surreal, but the bloating makes me appear pregnant and I caught myself rubbing my belly today lol

Questions: Is 6 weeks too early for the first ultrasound to see the heartbeat? The doctor said to come in then, but I'm worried if it's too early or not since in the US I usually hear 8 weeks

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? (I will forever steal the august one fyi) My cats! Well, I've had days without them before, but I miss them and look at pictures. We also set up a camera if we're gone over a day that I'll use to check on them frequently.

lovelikestardust · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days:
6+4

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

Upcoming appointments:
First appointment and us on 2/1.

How are you feeling?
Nauseous/gagging all the time and I hate it. Also getting hit with dizziness and constipation.

Raves/Rants:
My doctors apparently switched to a new computer admin system, and everyone is having trouble processing my insurance. I talked to the insurance company and they verified my coverage and said everything is fine on their end. The doctors and hospital have copies of my card and have triple checked all my info with me, and everything is supposedly fine on their end too. It's so frustrating.

Questions:
None right now!

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without?
Hmm. Coffee/tea, maybe? I'm limiting myself to just tea right now. With my son I drank coffee through pregnancy (limited amounts of course!), but the smell of coffee is making me gag this time around. I'm just not a morning person, and need a kick in the ass to get going in the morning. And coffee/tea with others is just ingrained in me as a social ritual.

EDD/Weeks + days:
Sep 25/ 5+1

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

Upcoming appointments:
Tomorrow to confirm the pregnancy (just bloodwork)

How are you feeling?
Normal. Waiting for the other shoe to drop in the next couple of weeks, but I didn’t have many symptoms with my first two so hopefully it’s as easy this go round.

Raves/Rants:
I work for a Fortune 100 company and had to present to the CFO and CIO today, and it went well! Glad it’s over with now.

Questions:
None

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without?
Alone time for sure. Usually it’s just getting in bed earlier than my husband to read a few minutes on my kindle.

@mokamonster Sometimes you can see the HB during week 6, but it’s more of a sure thing after 7. I know it’s so much easier said than done but try not to worry too much if they want you to come back in a few days!

woodland26 · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 9/25 5w2d

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

Upcoming appointments: 2/7 for first ultrasound

How are you feeling? The exhaustion has begun and felt a bit nauseous this morning before I ate breakfast. Probably time to change up my morning routine to eat as soon as I wake up.

Raves/Rants: Work got super busy all of a sudden. Usually I like being busy but the exhaustion has been hitting me around 2pm every day and my ability to concentrate disappears.

Questions: none

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? My Fitbit, although a regular watch could do the job too. I always need to know what time it is.

How are you feeling? Finally some symptoms! Nauseous and exhausted. So, so tired.

Raves/Rants: my kids have been sick nonstop and I’m so frustrated with it. I am ready to sage my house. And washer is still broken 2 weeks later. And there’s a stomach bug in the house.

Questions:

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? My phone for sure. It’s my lifeline haha.

wanderlustsoul · January 2023

@mokamonster if you don’t hear it yet, don’t worry. But you can also hear it from 6 weeks in some cases.

@woodland26 same for me with work. It’s so busy and all I want is a mid-day rest but I have endless mtgs. 😭

runningyogimama · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 6w6d

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

Upcoming appointments: 2/20 for NIPT bloodwork, which is how we initially found out something was wrong last time - my OB also offered to do an extra u/s while I’m there, which I of course said yes to

How are you feeling? Even more exhaustion and nausea have hit me this week!

Raves/Rants: So freaking busy at work lately! The last few weeks have been crazy.

Questions:

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? (I will forever steal the august one fyi)

my phone!

chartput · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 8 weeks 5 days, edd 9/1

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: undecided

Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow! 1/26 repeat us/first ob.....found out its time for my pap so not looking forward to that part.

How are you feeling? Nausea is on overload, i have to eat every 2-3 hours and have already gained 5 lbs. Its my own fault because although im trying to be healthy carbs is all that sounds good. I also have exercised maybe 7 days since finding out I was pregnant so that hasnt helped.

Raves/Rants: Ive had one URI after another and it blows. Between that and the nausea I feel like I never feel well enough to work out and its really putting a strain on my mental health.

Questions: natm

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? (I will forever steal the august one fyi)
Coffee! Although I have barely been able to finish a cup this pregnancy, probably for the best caffeine wise though.

bumbly_b23 · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 8 weeks 6 days

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: I wanted team Green but husband feels strongly about finding out so we will.

Upcoming appointments: meeting my midwife on 1/30

How are you feeling? Nauseous. But that’s been constant so far. I do have a little more energy this week.

Raves/Rants: Nothing right now.

Questions:

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? (I will forever steal the august one fyi)

oh that’s tough. Probably my phone. I feel naked without it.

benten24 · January 2023

EDD/Weeks + days: 8 + 5 EDD 9/1

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

Upcoming appointments: my first appointment isn’t for another month which is super frustrating. I’ll be 12 weeks by the time I finally see someone. I am hoping I can have NIPT performed that day.
Oh! But I do meet with a potential doula this week, so I’m excited for that.

How are you feeling? Today is a good day. Not nauseous, not fatigued. My breasts are still a bit tender but that’s really it for the moment. Most days I’m nauseous and exhausted. And this pregnancy-induced constipation can kick rocks.

Raves/Rants: nothing at the moment

Questions: none

GTKY: aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without? Chap stick. Burt’s Bees to be specific. I love that stuff.
