Estimated due date/ weeks + days: December 2nd / 11w+2d
Upcoming appointments:
Just had my blood drawn today. The results should be in for my doctor's appointment next week.
How are you feeling?
Not too bad to be honest. Just anxious. I experienced some heavy cramping earlier this week but my doctor advise me I would experience those since I care for an 8 month old.
Rants/raves:
I've noticed some little things that worry me a bit on my dating ultrasound. I have another scan scheduled in two weeks. I hope it'll help alleviate some of my worries.
Questions:
Not really
GTKY: If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I'm too exhausted to go anywhere haha. But if I could go anywhere, it would travel the whole world. I can't pick only one place. There's so many places in Europe, in Africa and in Asia that I'd like to see. My partner wants to go in Europe. Most probably Germany or Austria.
Estimated due date/ weeks + days: 12/25 (ETA:) 8 weeks, 1 day
FTM/STM/TTM+: 5tm
Upcoming appointments: next is in June, but my first one was today!
How are you feeling? Really pretty good, it was making me nervous 🤪
Rants/raves: We have a heartbeat!!! It's feeling more real now.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? TBH, I kinda hate gtky questions because I'm indecisive 😆 I'd probably pick Italy, I loved the time I did get to spend there, once upon a time, and would love to introduce it to my family.
Official update now that I've had my first scan! Due date set as 31 December, measuring 7 weeks 3 days Feeling a lot more official now that I've finally had my appointment.
Estimated due date/ weeks + days: Dec 21/8wks, 6 days
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Upcoming appointments: End of May for a blood draw.
How are you feeling? Tired, but my cramping and most of the nausea has gone away. I think I'm experiencing pregnancy brain, been hard to focus and remember what I usually do. Does that happen in the first trimester?
Rants/raves: I was using noom leading up to pregnancy and had really been watching what I ate. Now I need to eat a lot more, which is great! But I'm also wearing teeth aligners so I have to brush my teeth like six times a day lol seems trivial when I write it. Maybe that's the point of letting it out!
Questions: how do you even begin developing a birthday plan?
GTKY: I would love to go to Vietnam for the culture and the food.
How are you feeling? Well…just got over COVID, so tbh, regular pregnancy symptoms feel fine right now. Queasy, tired, but no more stuffiness, headaches, or chills!
Rants/raves: Had a little bleeding, so it was really great to see a heartbeat and all looks good. Plus, great weather.
Questions: Any STM+ have kiddos that share a room? What worked?? I’m trying to think through a 5 year old and a 6mo room sharing logistics.
GTKY: If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? Norway! We were supposed to go when I was on leave for my first and then COVID 🫠
@new_mom_mn Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn - Penny Simkin is basically a textbook and super helpful for understanding options! And the Birth Hour podcast was also helpful. I basically got one thing off my plan (no epidural) - and that was OK too!
Upcoming appointments: May 22nd! FINALLY get my first appointment after waiting for what feels like an eternity!
How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. I am utterly exhausted all day every day though and have been feeling queasy which is strange because I had no sickness during my first pregnancy (12 years ago! 😝). Also just a bit worried since I haven’t actually seen my babe or heard a heartbeat yet so it all feels very tentative for some reason…
Rants/raves: Not today, lol!
Questions:
GTKY: If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why? I would love to go to Italy! Total bucket list thing to do, but really anywhere in Europe would be awesome!
Finally got to hear that little heartbeat!! I felt so relieved. Didn't notice I was that anxious. I knew I was worried but that feeling of relief caught me by surprise.
