    Baby is the size of a (an): quarter

    Team blue/pink/green: green... we'll see what the NIPT says next week

    Upcoming Appointments: August 29

    How are you feeling?: I seem to have a little less nausea; my appetite is slowly coming back.  The constipation and fatigue though...

    Questions:

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl?
    Before the pregnancy?  Night owl!  I could easily stay up till 3am and sleep till 11. Now I'm yawning at 9, LOL

    DD / Weeks + Days: 8w 3D

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM, DD is 4 🥹 

    Baby is the size of a (an): raspberry

    Team blue/pink/green: healthy, leaning toward wanting another girl but happy either way

    Upcoming Appointments: I just had an ultrasound this AM (everything looks amazing! So relieved) first midwife apt. In 2 weeks 

    How are you feeling?: like absolute garbage. I am so tired, nauseous and oddly hungry ALL the time, I’m so sleepy - I can barely keep my eyes open after 2pm and that’s usually when I see patients for therapy! I hope this passes quickly 

    Rants/Raves: I just feel happy and at peace 🥰

    Questions: anyone else having horrible cystic acne?! 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? Traditionally a night owl, I can stay up late for sure when not pregnant, but I also hate sleeping in 😂 these days I am passing out on the couch at 9pm

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM 

    Baby is the size of a (an): Strawberry

    Team blue/pink/green: Blue! Will confirm with NIPT

    Upcoming Appointments: Bloodwork for NIPT is being done today and my next OB appointment is August 31

    How are you feeling?: I'm doing.....alright. I seem to get sick anytime I eat now, which is frustrating because if I get too hungry I also feel sick. So it is this weird balancing act of eating often, but in tiny amounts to not trigger anything. Also, still exhausted but wondering if it is because my son is now playing on two different football teams (one for school and one for little league) so we have two sets of practices and games to get to and keep track of every week. 

    Rants/Raves: Just can't wait to hopefully hit a symptom free second trimester

    Questions: None right now. 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? Definitely a night owl, except right now. I cannot stay up late at all right now but I am 100% not a morning person.

    DD / Weeks + Days: March 10 // 11 weeks 1 day

    FTM/STM/TTM+: first time 

    Baby is the size of a (an): lime, seems so big 

    Team blue/pink/green: healthy baby 

    Upcoming Appointments: next Wednesday 8/28

    How are you feeling?: this week and last week I’ve been so dizzy, lightheaded and fatigued. My mom is concerned about my iron levels but my last blood draw said they were fine. I’ll see what the next appointment says and ordered some iron pills. I cannot wait until I’m out of the first trimester. Otherwise, sneaking in some engagement photos next week before my bump pops more but I can’t find the energy to even try on outfits for it 😅

    Rants/Raves: I finally graduated out of my Invisalign to just retainers at night. I could cry I’m so happy trying to eat every 2 hrs and have my Invisalign in enough was SO much to handle. 

    Questions: what prenatal is everyone on? Does yours have iron?

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? I used to be more of a night owl. I’ve recently been staying up too late reading but way too tired at night to consider myself a night owl anymore so I guess neither lol

    Baby is the size of a (an): plum 

    Team blue/pink/green: 🩷 to confirm with NIPT

    Upcoming Appointments: August 23rd! 

    How are you feeling?: like everyone else seems to be! Okay! Still no appetite but haven’t been super nauseous. Seems to kick in right around 5 for the worst of it. 

    Rants/Raves: my sister has come to live with us for a little bit and it’s been so nice having the extra help around the house! 

    Questions: does anyone else wake up with a hard lower stomach in the morning? Im pretty sure it’s bladder related because after I go to the bathroom it goes away. Just not sure if that’s normal? 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? Right now, neither😅 but I’m a morning person! I like taking full advantage of the day!

    I take the Nature Made prenatal with DHA and Omega 3's. It has iron in it and it is easy on my stomach!

    Baby is the size of a (an): brussel sprout 

    Team blue/pink/green: Green, but I just did the NIPT bloodwork and it’s going to be so hard to stay the course lol

    Upcoming Appointments: Next Wednesday with the perinatologist because I’m AMA

    How are you feeling?: Absolutely exhausted from pregnancy. I also have a cold. 

    Rants/Raves: Rants: No good cold medicine when you’re pregnant 😢
    Raves: We’ve had 3 nights in a row of my toddler going to sleep easily. 

    Questions: Dr prescribed baby aspirin for preeclampsia prevention but my BP is fine. Anyone else receive this recommendation?

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? Middle of the day lol. If I wasn’t chronically tired, probably morning.

    @laj0217 I haven’t, and I was sure they would tell me that since I had postpartum hypertension after the last one. But maybe they were waiting till all my bloodwork was back and I’ll get that surprise at the next appointment. 🤷‍♀️

    My doctor said I could do it starting at 14 weeks for preeclampsia prevention too. My BP is also fine and I have no history of high blood pressure. He said its just precautionary and totally optional. 

    I am also AMA but I haven't been told to go see any specialists yet, is that something I should be doing? I guess I am technically only AMA when I am due not currently.

    Baby is the size of a (an): tootsie pop top

    Team blue/pink/green: we transferred a boy 🩵

    Upcoming Appointments: Monday is our first appointment with our OB after graduation from our fertility clinic

    How are you feeling?: tired but getting better. And so bloated! But very happy

    Rants/Raves: just feeling weird about all the changes in my body that are happening already

    Questions: 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? I have always been more of a night owl forced into being a morning person. Lately I have been finding myself wanting to stay up late. I think I just like the peace of the night. But I’m so tired I can’t hang. Lol

    @cortneylynnn I’m AMA now with a history of pregnancy loss and my OB office said I didn’t need to see an MFM or any other specialist. All my bloodwork came back normal. I guess I’ll see in September.
    @paigemm23 My stomach is hard most of the time, but I’m constipated so take that with a grain of salt.
    @eclaire90 I just switched from Theranatal Complete (highly recommended but one pill is so bad I want to barf just smelling it, never mind the taste) to Nature Made Prenatal + Choline. One less pill a day and no bad smell and taste.

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM 

    Baby is the size of a (an): lime 

    Team blue/pink/green: Green. But I’m starting to lean towards blue 💙 I don’t know if that’s just because the ultrasound tech said the heart beat was high so it’s likely a boy

    Upcoming Appointments: September 3rd 

    How are you feeling?: my nausea kind of slowed week 9 but has been back with a vengeance the last few days. I’m still exhausted every morning. Excited because I feel like I’m starting to see a bump. 

    Rants/Raves: 

    Questions: Anybody already tour or planning to tour the hospital where they plan to give birth? Just curious how common this is and if I should do it? 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl? Neither. I like to go to bed early and still sleep in 😂. But if I had to choose I’m more of a morning person.

    @ttbird29, this is my second and I’ll be going to the same hospital but my first was just a virtual tour so I think if they’re offering in person tours I’d do it again! If I remember correctly it wasn’t until much later though. I want to say after 30 weeks? Could just be my area though! 

    @eclaire90, I have New Chapter - prenatal and fish oil. They’re pricey but they’re the only ones I’ve tried so far that don’t make me gag or give me disgusting burps afterwards 😅

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): blueberry

    Team blue/pink/green: Pink… I just want a healthy baby but I would love a little girl

    Upcoming Appointments: just had my first appointments! Everything looked great except I’m measuring two weeks behind what we thought so now I’m 7 weeks instead of 9 weeks 😅

    How are you feeling?: feeling ok but I can feel the nausea ramping up. No throwing up yet but a lot of dry heaving 😢

    Rants/Raves: my parents have been amazing with the news. However, my fiance has a very strained relationship with his family. It’s growing more and more towards no contact. He doesn’t want to tell his family we’re pregnant because he wants them to have no involvement with our child. I’m in agreement because theyve expressed nothing but negativity towards me and they’re the kind of people who would know I’m pregnant and be very fake to try to be in our lives. But it is kinda like a rain cloud on an otherwise exciting time. Even though he’s firm in his decision, I can tell it weighs on him a lot. At the end of the day it’s his family and it’s hard for him to wrestle with the fact that even though he wants it to be different, they don’t care and won’t change. He’s also had a child with another woman. He was a single dad for that child’s whole life until he moved out. He did the best with the resources he had but his family has gotten to the son and turned him against my fiance. It’s all very heartbreaking and I know there’s a lot of trauma around pregnancy and children that he’s still working through. Our current pregnancy is unplanned and while I know he’s excited, it’s hard to be fully enveloped in it because I can tell he’s holding back. We go to couples therapy and we’re working on it. It’s just really hard as a first time mom… I love my fiance with my whole heart and the trauma he has isn’t his fault. He’s an amazing person. However it does feel like I’m being robbed of a different experience. I think part of that is the pregnancy hormones. Anyways rant over!

    Questions: what do you use for your pregnancy acne?? I can’t use any of what I normally use and have no clue where to start. 

    GTKY: A simple one.  Morning person or night owl?

    used to be a night owl pre pregnancy. Now I’m lucky to stay up past 10 🥲

    @Cortneylynn When I had my son, I was 34 and the OB offered me all the tests optionally because I was close to 35, but nothing required! I’ll be just turned 37 for this one, so I wasn’t given an option this go round lol. It sounds like it’s just an extra appointment at 12 weeks with the perinatologist for an extra ultrasound. If the US looks good, they discharge you back to your OB. My guess is they’re doing measurements to check for downs but i guess I’ll find out Wednesday.

    @ttbird29 I did the tour with my first. I’m delivering at the same hospital, so I won’t do it again. I’m glad I did it, though.

    @babyterrorsmama96 I’m using sofie pavit mandelic clearing serum on my face and trying to do a clay mask at least once a week. For my body I’m using Ren aha body serum and I’m getting a back facial in a few weeks. It’s driving me CRAZY I noticed even my boobs were breaking out

    @cassmama27 we don’t have a Facebook group as of yet. If I remember correctly from my last group, we stayed on the bump for a while so late comers could still join and so everyone was comfortable enough with each other to make the jump to a more personal platform.
