𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I had some pink spotting Thursday night, and then brown discharge Friday. But nothing over the weekend and no cramping at all. Still freaked me out a bit! Ready to have the first trimester behind me. I wanna bust out the maternity clothes and feel baby kicks!

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: We had our basement finished and it looks great! My husband and I both work from home, so he's going to move his office (which is currently one of the bedrooms) into the basement, and we'll use his former office as the nursery for baby!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Who else is feeling guilty about eating sooo much chocolate lately?! Thank goodness we don't have the glucose test coming up, right?? haha

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Finding out - should have NIPT back by 1/11!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I've definitely been feeling more nausea these last few days than ever before, which seems weirdly late lol. I'm thinking it's because my schedule is all wonky with the holidays and being off work, so I'm not eating as regularly or as well.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave - ultrasound today and baby is actually looking more like a baby! And moving around a ton! The confirmation of pregnancy ultrasound was neat, but this one made things feel so much more real 🥰

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: I think a few of you have already gotten your NIPT results back - how long did yours actually take? Right now the estimate is still just showing me the generic 2 weeks, but I think I've seen some of you say yours was quicker. I'm not very patient so I'm hoping for sooner!!

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution? I'm not a big resolution person because I never keep them lol. Maybe just to try to keep my anxiety levels down as much as possible!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Feeling pretty good for the most part. Still very tired all of the time, and I’m getting some sharp pains in my upper abdomen (more specifically in one spot when I bend or move quickly. Is that normal?)

NATM

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

Kind of asked above, but is it normal to get a localized stabbing pain in the same spot when you move or bend a bit quickly? I have a spot on my upper left abdomen that feels like a very sharp stab when I bend and it kind of feels sore to the touch afterwards.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution?
My only New Years Resolution is to grow a healthy baby.

brittanny21 · December 2024

@butterflyhunny how long did it take for you to get the email for you NIPT to set up your account? It’s been a week for me and I’m not sure how long it usually takes especially with the holiday.

bigworldlittleg · December 2024

@brittanny21 The sharp pain in one particular spot is very normal! Could be ligament pain - as the uterus expands they stretch, and whatever movement you're doing could be aggravating it in a weird way. Or it could be that your intestines/stomach/other organs are starting to get all squished and out of their usual positions, so certain movements could be causing an organ to push up against your ribs. In my last pregnancy I learned to move/bend over, etc. verryyyyy slowly and gently lol!

brittanny21 · December 2024

@bigworldlittleg Thank you! I was trying not to stress about it but my anxiety wasn’t letting me lol. Glad to hear that it’s normal!

butterflyhunny · December 2024

@brittanny21 I did my bloodwork Friday, got the text to set up my account today. They apparently received everything on Saturday.
Also, I was also getting some pains like that the other day (not necessarily when bending but kind of randomly) and I'm guessing it's ligament pain.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Better I guess? Still nauseous and not wanting to eat very much. I can't eat gluten, Wich normally isn't too big of a deal but with food aversions my diet is getting more and more limited. I'm surviving off of almond crackers, cheese and fresh fruit.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: My parents are here for the holidays which lightens my load a lot and had probably helped. I haven't vomited since they arrived so that's great! I've also been able to sleep in a few mornings which makes a big difference in how I feel when I get up.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution?
I don't usually make them 😬 but I've been working on having my phone around the kids less, having a book instead, being present even when it feels like they are playing independently. I see a big difference in our attitudes towards each other when I do, but it's so easy to just want to lay on the couch and scroll when I'm feeling sick.

brittanny21 · December 2024

@butterflyhunny Thank you for sharing, I’ll have to reach out to my doctors office and see what I should do. I did my test last Tuesday so they probably should’ve reached out by now… my email spelling can be hard for some so they may have spelled it wrong.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Definitely a little bit better when it comes to the nausea and vomiting. I spent weeks 5-11 in absolute misery, with trips to urgent care for zofran and fluids, so I feel like I can’t complain now even though I’m still having some nausea especially at night. What I didn’t expect was to suddenly be hit with the severe fatigue this week. I slept like 15 hours yesterday lol. Now I know what everyone means when they talk about that 8pm bedtime.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Finally have our second appointment this week, which includes an ultrasound for the NT scan, so I’m really looking forward to seeing a more baby-looking baby!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: none at the moment

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution?

My biggest goal is to not let this pregnancy get in the way of my progress with my horses. I own a breed that’s prone to metabolic issues if their weight and exercise isn’t managed well, so I plan on staying very active for as long as I can and getting out there with my mare even if it’s just hand walking her on the trails. There’s also a virtual Tevis endurance competition that I’d like to complete with her this year.

butterflyhunny · December 2024

@brittanny21 also maybe see if you got a text sent to spam, for some reason I got one text from them that went through fine and one that went to spam.

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

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Yesterday I felt OK so took down the Christmas decorations, cleaned a couple rooms, then ran out for lunch/mall with my husband and daughter. By the time we got back, I was completely drained and soooo nauseous. So, feeling some better in spurts, but still not able to do much without triggering symptoms.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: I am really missing working out. I tried to lift a little the other day and got super lightheaded. Trying to be patient and take it easy, but between the cold/gloomy weather and inactivity, my mental health isn’t great. Hoping the next couple weeks brings some more energy!!

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: NATM

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution? I don’t really do resolutions, but instead pick a “word” for the year. This year I think I am going to go with “balance”.

brittanny21 · January 2

@butterflyhunny how do you check your spam texts? I already checked my spam email folder and there's nothing there and I keep my texts pretty cleaned up and look at everything that comes in. I haven’t seen anything.

Another woman that I work with is also pregnant and she said that her took a bit longer to get. She recommended that I wait until Friday to reach out if I haven’t heard anything yet.

@brittanny21 I have a Google phone and when I click my account photo from my Messages, "Spam & blocked" is an option.

@peach93 I love the TBR goal! This was mine about 4 years ago when I realized I was barely reading anymore, after I’d been a voracious reader in earlier years. I just finished 2024 with 53 books read, so so know you can do it!!

Wow! That is super inspiring- I’ve set my goal for 25 this year but would love if I could read a few more. Any books that you highly recommend?

I was able to contact natera and they sent me the link to create my account. Turns out my results were ready and we found out that we’re having a baby BOY!!!!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?
I had the worst nausea and vomiting this past week! Finally started taking Unisom (and ordered B6 but it’s delayed getting here) and was amazed at how much it helped me be able to get through the night without feeling sick, and start the day off better.

I was even able to eat different food and I even ate so much chocolate and desserts and felt ok (which yes I felt a bit guilty about but it felt really good too!).

Now I didn’t take Unisom and the nausea is back again, which is really frustrating. Also we are sick with colds and it’s been tough avoiding the usual cold medicines I would take lol.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀:

See above haha

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

Has anyone started a pregnancy journal/baby book? I saw some baby books for sale that actually begin during pregnancy, it looks like a lot of work to fill out but maybe it would be enjoyable too.

𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What's your New Years resolution?

Go for a walk every day even if it’s just back and forth inside our apartment.

cseley321 · January 4

@watermelonsunshine I've never done a journal for pregnancy, but one thing that I did do that I really enjoyed was take photos each week from the same position in a mirror with a countdown to 40. It was pretty cool to look back on

redseawitch · January 4

@watermelonsunshine I got a pregnancy/baby journal since this my first and figured it help me stay on track and remember to document some memories along the way. Also started bump pics this week to keep track of the changes.

bigworldlittleg · January 5

@watermelonsunshine I had a pregnancy journal with my first, and I didn’t fill it out completely, but I’m really glad I have it to look back on! I got another for this pregnancy. And as others mentioned, definitely take weekly bump photos!!

butterflyhunny · January 5

Thank you all for the idea of the pregnancy journal, I hadn't seen or thought of that but I love the idea and just ordered one!
