    Weeks/EDD? 10w3d/Sept 9th

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Kinda anxious. Morning sickness eased up a bit yesterday and today. Not sure if I should be thankful or concerned. I thought this was supposed to be the “peak.”

    Any appointment updates? Nah. Next one is in 2 weeks. 

    Any big milestones? Every additional day pregnant is a big milestone. I didn’t make it past 10w last time.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope.

    Weeks/EDD? 9w5d - 9/14

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
    Morning sickness (or rather, evening sickness) hit me HARD halfway through the week last week. 🤢 Everyday around 4 until bedtime. 
    Emotionally, just super anxious to get NIPT done next week and results back (which I assume will be almost 2 weeks, like last time). I also didn’t expect today to be a hard grief day, since it’s not like a “real” holiday, but it’s the first holiday my daughter should be here for but isn’t, so it’s hit me unexpectedly hard. 

    Any appointment updates? No, not until 2/20 😩 4 weeks in between these appts has felt like an eternity! 

    Any big milestones? No

    Rants/Raves/Questions? 
    Random PGAL wondering - is anyone else still super triggered by seeing others’ pregnancy announcements and/or ultrasounds, pregnant bellies, newborns, etc, even being pregnant again? It’s all still just as triggering to me. 

    Also, I thought we were solidly team green again this pregnancy, but now my husband isn’t sure. He feels he would need to mentally prepare if it’s another girl. I feel like it will be hard either way (in different ways), if it is a girl, or if it’s not a girl. If he really feels he needs to know to process that ahead of time, I guess we’ll find out, but I’m kind of disappointed/was looking forward to being team green.

    Weeks/EDD? 9w / September 20

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? Exhausted, but I have time off next week.

    Any appointment updates? Blood work next week

    Any big milestones? Told my family and a few close friends. My husband wanted to wait a few more weeks before we told his parents.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I wanted to rant about anything and everything but I can't find the words right now.

    Weeks/EDD? 9w - sept 22

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? I am feeling a lot better after my appt on Wednesday. Seeing the baby at the right growth really helped me fears. I’ve been doing good. I was non functional for a few days and decided to try seabands. And I’ve been able to function ever since so that’s great. 

    Any appointment updates? I have my 10 week scan on 02/24 and then we will do NIPT. 

    Any big milestones? Nope 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope

    @runningyogimama yes for sure. I don’t think I’ll feel non-triggered until I have a baby in my arms. And I’m sorry about team green. That’s hard.

    Weeks/EDD? I guess I am accepting that this baby continues to measure bigger? Just had another scan today. 10w2d/Sept 13

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically? After today, I think truly relieved? Going back to my OB and the hospital where we only got bad news in 2022 and I haven’t been to her office since May was triggering this morning. I also stupidly told my husband I was fine to come alone. Dumb move. Physically, I’m exhausted and nauseous. A little heartburn if I don’t watch what I eat. 

    Any appointment updates? Not really. 

    Any big milestones? Today, officially past all prior losses. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Would just like the nausea to subside.

    @babysavvy I know what it feels like to have a loss of symptoms and then a miscarriage, but for me it was not an “easing up” it was a complete loss of all symptoms. So this time I’m trying not to panic when I start to feel a bit better here and there. I’m not sure what the official peak for nausea would be, but I know plenty of people who started feeling better around 10 weeks! So I’m praying this is totally normal for you too and that your baby is happy and healthy in there! 💛 I’m wishing you all the best and hoping you get some reassurance soon! 

    @runningyogimama I’m so sorry you experienced your first holiday without your sweet girl being here. Ughh, that is so hard! I’m glad your NIPT is tomorrow, even if you don’t get the results for a couple more weeks. I will be thinking of you! 🧡 To answer your question, There was a newborn baby girl in my office the other day, and it was really hard for me, even though I’m pregnant. I don’t think it will stop hurting until I actually have a baby in my arms. 

    @froggerblue I’m sorry to hear you have a lot to rant about! We are totally here for you if you ever find the words! 💜

    @wanderlustsoul I’m so happy that you had a good appointment and baby is on track!! 💙 And so glad to hear that the sea bands are working for you! 

    @anniemarie887 Yes! It can be so triggering to go back to the same place you found out about your miscarriage. 😭 I’m sorry you had to go alone, but I’m so glad you got the reassurance you needed and are feeling a bit better, emotionally! Congratulations on making it past all previous losses, I know that is a huge relief! Hope your nausea gets better soon!! 💚

    Weeks/EDD?
    8w4d      September 27

    How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
    Emotionally I’m in such a sensitive place. I believe I had my miscarriage around 9 weeks last time, but didn’t find out until 11 weeks. So I’m just trying to make it through these next few weeks. I was telling my mom the other day, I feel like a child who’s scared the boogeyman is gonna get me, I just want to stay in bed with my head under the covers until it’s over.  - Physically, I’m okay. Just a normal amount of nausea, constipation/ diarrhea, aways exhausted. 

    Any appointment updates? 
    My next appointment is this Wednesday, at exactly 9 weeks. Next appointment after that will at exactly 11 weeks. Both will be very scary for me. 

    Any big milestones?
    I’ve announced my pregnancy to everyone I know. For me, it’s a relief, knowing that if I do miscarry, at least this baby had some time to be loved by everyone while she was alive.

    @starlight8323 The nausea returned heavy after a few easier days. Yesterday sucked. Thanks for your concern. ♥️
