Re: May Check In
Appointments: I had my 12w appointment yesterday. I got to see baby and everything was looking good.
Symptoms: I'm definitely coming out of the first trimester symptoms and into the quiet second trimester. Starting to get a bit more round ligament pain.
Gratitude: I'm glad to be starting to tell people and not keep it a secret, especially as I'm starting to get a bump with it being baby number 3.
Gripes: My due date got moved forward to the 22nd, it was nearly the 21st but I insisted that they re-measured. It's still almost certainly wrong as that means I would have had a cycle shorter than any I've had before in my life. I'm not happy because I went 11 and 10 days overdue with my other two and I don't want to cut the time I have before they start pushing for an induction. Ultimately baby will come when they're ready, I can just predict a argument in the future.
How are you feeling? Generally I'm feeling pretty good, I really like being pregnant and for the most part fell very well.
Goals: Now I'm feeling less tired I really need to get back to an exercise routine that's my main goal for this month.
Appointments: had my NT scan last Friday and I need to schedule the next few appointments still.
Symptoms: nausea still, although it’s getting better. Fatigue, little bit of round ligament pain but it’s very minimal. I have to pee all. the. time.
Gratitude: very thankful for normal NIPT and NT scan results and excited to have another little boy! Also relieved to not try to hide the bump anymore as I told family and work finally.
Gripes: speaking of telling people and not hiding the bump: already got my first “only 12 weeks? Sure there’s only one in there?” comment
How are you feeling? Generally fine but exhausted. Weekdays I’m either at work or solo parenting. I walk 4 miles a day for my commute. My kids won’t let me sit down for a single meal. I’ll take that second tri energy now, please.
Goals: get on top of housework again. The house is a disaster and I’ve let so many projects slide for too long and now they’re all looming. On top of all the daily/weekly stuff I’ve put off cleaning the dishwasher and washing machine, replace water and air purifier filters, clean bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans for way too long. All stuff that doesn’t take much time individually but when you put it all off it becomes daunting! Oh and I need to sort through all of the kids clothes because both kids are moving into the next size up. Ugh.

I had a great 12 week appointment and I’m looking forward to my next one on May 31.
Symptoms: Heartburn and round ligament pain.
Gratitudes: The nausea and food aversions are letting up so I can eat more than bread and potatoes.
Gripes: This week I feel like I have no control over my emotions. I’m all over the place, crying or angry most of the time, and making mountains out of mole hills.
Goals: I’d also like to get back to exercising.
Appointments: I see my GP tomorrow, I don't get a 12 week scan because we declined testing
Symptoms: still nauseous, fatigued and moody!
Gratitude: I have a bump so we started confirming the news to people which has been weird for me. I'm introverted and everyone wants to ask me things and hug me and I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot but I'm happy I get to share my excitement with people around me.
Gripes: so. much. crying. I'm normally a crier but this has been ridiculous. We're in hockey playoffs (Go Oilers) and I cry everytime they play the national anthem and my husband laughs. I tell him it's hearing everyone singing together in the crowd that gets me but I cry during Bluey, I cry at tiktoks, I cry when my dog comes in for a cuddle, I cried when I saw Fruity Pebbles cereal on the WalMart shelf FFS.
Goals: I'm with you all - I need to get my house in order. My house needs a thorough clean and I need to get back into my morning elliptical session. I'm just so overwhelmed and tired that it's daunting but I know I'll feel so much better when it's done.
Appointments: Just had one 2 days ago. Got to see babe moving around and hear their heartbeat for the first time. Also gave 10 tubes of blood for typical prenatal testing and genetic testing. I’m excited to get results in a couple weeks to know babe’s sex and feel better about telling big sibs.
How are you feeling? Good overall. Just got back from a family vacay in FL and headed to Disneyland in a few weeks once the kids are out of school. Also, it’s been fun holding a new bedtime ritual with DH where we rattle off possible baby names.
Goals: Okay, this is going to sound weird, but my goal is to have sexy-time with DH this week. I’ve been so busy being pregnant and feeling like crap that I’m totally neglecting my guy. Gotta try and do better!
Me: 31 DH: 34

My first baby was born 2 days before due date and my second five days before, so I'm also nervous about having the timing be off! Mostly because it's really hard fo us to find childcare. My labors are also really fast AND since we switched insurance recently we have to go to a hospital much further away. I know it's way too early to worry about this but I'm already imagining giving birth on the side of the road, ha.

I've got PCOS so my cycle can move a bit. I had a long cycle the month before which usually means the next cycle will be shorter. Though I have PCOS I only typically have one long cycle a year, a short one after then the rest of the year pretty regular. If my true due date is the 21st I would have had the shortest cycle of my life. So I think it's pretty likely it's wrong and my new 22nd due date is also probably wrong.
This time I have no idea when I ovulated and I can't remember when we had sex, ha. I know it wouldn't be the 21st, because that's a Thursday and we don't see each other long enough to even think about sex on weekdays. So I'm guessing the weekend before? I think I'll just make a mental note of the 16th being my actual due date even though it'll "officially" be the 21st.

Appointments: I had my 12w appointment 2 weeks ago and we got to see the little one
Symptoms: My first trimester was a little morning nausea (though I never vommed) and mostly feeling bloated AF from the progesterone they had me on until week 13. I only get very mild occasional nausea now and not every day, so I feel as though I’ve definitely turned a corner. Round ligament pain definitely and breast and back pain a bit as well. Also my torso is starting to itch this week? I’m guessing from the growing bump so I’m making sure to use belly butter daily.
Gratitude: I'm glad to be starting to tell people and not keep it a secret, and I’m so grateful this baby is healthy so far. I had a miscarriage in September so the first trimester on this one has been a little stressful from that vantage point. Very grateful to be off progesterone.
Gripes: My in-laws are already getting on our case about not telling the gender. It’s been like 3 days since some of them found out and it’s already started. My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer metastasized to the liver, so we have been dealing with a lot surrounding planning out her treatments, looking for clinical trials, processing the news and lots of travel to support her, so getting any stupid texts about not knowing what color to knit a baby blanket bc my husband’s aunt doesn’t know the gender feels pretty petty at this moment..
How are you feeling? Honestly, I'm trying to compartmentalize as much as possible. I try to reserve time every day to mentally celebrate the little life growing in me, but I’m at this moment exhausted trying to stay super positive for my mom and dealing with my dad, who has not taken the cancer news well and has been kind of a nightmare. Between this and being incredibly busy with work, I really want to cry, but I can’t really do that around my parents bc I need to keep their spirits up as my mom goes into her first round of chemo next week. It’s been a lot. I’m grateful to give my mom a baby to focus on as she goes through this though, because she’s been wanting to be a grandmother for years.
Goals: making more time for exercise, finding a therapist, saying no to more clients at this time.
Appointments: on Thursday I had a midwife appt (got to hear the heartbeat and baby kicking at the wand), public health appt and second blood draw for the chromosonal testing. May 1st was the nt ultrasound. The technician report said they couldn't detect the nasal bone. Midwife said not to be concerned with that, but it's hard not to do a deep dive of google. Our nt is 1.6, so that at least gives me hope that baby is healthy and just bit late on the bone. We'll keep positive for our anatomy ultrasound on June 20th.
Symptoms: not too many. Some cramping and discomfort, and round ligament pain is getting more frequent so trying to be mindful of how I move. Bladder is so full and it feels like I'm ALWAYS peeing (midllwife mentioned that due to my lapriscopic appendectomy almost 20 yrs ago there was probably a lot of scarring inside, and my bladder may be attached to the front. So..... Lots going on in there)
(also I never had a lmp, I just said 4 to 6 weeks ago. I was on depo provera until 6 months before our pregnancy, so my cycles were spotty and sporadic. They just went off the size of the baby at the dating ultrasound)
Appointments: on Thursday we had an appt. Genetics testing came back and low risks for everything (whew). I am growing two so we fortunately get to see the babes every time we go in. I already asked the tech what was her fav bakery item because and told dude to note that to bring to office
Symptoms: I cannot sleep through the night. Typically 3am I’m up and brain starts going. Back ache are killing me already and it’s only 14wks. I teach a functional elementary class so always moving. Come 1pm it’s so uncomfortable. Ordered preg belt to see if that can help last two weeks of school.

Are you taking zofran tablets? I have a dissolving film strip that goes on my tongue so I can't throw it up.
