EDD / Weeks + Days: 12/26, 10 & 3

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: 3rd

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

Upcoming Appointments: follow up tomorrow for ER visit on Friday, follow up next Monday to my skin issues, 13 week appt on 6/13

How are you feeling? So much anxiety. I ended up in the ER Friday afternoon with sudden bleeding. Like I was walking to the car and all of a sudden…gush. Baby was wiggly and good on the ultrasound and cervix was closed. I had a SCH that was very much like this with my second so we’re hoping this is the same type of thing and all will be fine. But it really does a number on the nerves. And of course I’ve had some achy/RLP type feeling starting this week along with definitely starting to round out and show slightly in certain outfits. Still beyond exhausted and have no energy.

Rants/Raves: due to having to take an unexpected er trip, I had to call my mom and ask her to pick up my eldest since we only have one car and DH was staying with the younger one. So now my whole family knows, definitely not how I wanted it to happen but they took it better than I thought so that’s a huge plus. (Except my one sister, who ranted that we are fucking idiots and a bunch of other useless things)

Questions: n/a

GTKY: Who knows you best? DH. We joke that we have a case of quantum entanglement going on.

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

Upcoming Appointments: Thursday

How are you feeling? Exhausted, all day sickness, so disgusting and nauseous after I eat anything

Rants/Raves: Our main vehicle and the only one we can all fit in is out of commission right now. Its so frustrating. My husband will be home later this week and will hopefully be able to fix it. We need a new one anyways because we are at max capacity now and with another one on the way we don't fit but we were hoping to wait a few more months to shop around and save for a bigger down payment.. never fails.

Questions: Na.

GTKY: Who knows you best? 100% my husband. We've been together since we were 16 and 17 and will be celebrating 21yrs together this fall.

@thatbaintforbetty Ugh, that SCH gush is such a terrible feeling 😔 Could they see the bleed on the ultrasound? Has it stopped now? I know most will resolve on their own with time, but still. So glad you could at least see baby looking good, that’s got to help things feel a little less scary, hoping for a good report and clean bill of health for you tomorrow!

@nopegoat Sorry it’s been a rough stretch for you recently. Hopefully your husband’s return can take some of the burden off.

EDD / Weeks + Days: December 24, 10w5d

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: FTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 💚

Upcoming Appointments: NT ultrasound and 12-week visit on Thu 6/12

How are you feeling? Better today after a solid 9 hours of sleep—I definitely overdid it running around on Saturday to celebrate my husband’s birthday, then spent most of Sunday rotting in bed. I swear I took 3 or 4 naps over the course of the day. I hadn’t felt a huge dip in fitness or energy levels before this weekend, but that experience humbled me real quick 😅

Rants/Raves: NO MORE ESTRADIOL! NO MORE PROGESTERONE! NO MORE INJECTIONS! DOBBY IS FREE!!! Still weaning off the prednisone for another few days, but relishing how nice it is to not have medication reminder alarms going off 5 times a day.

Questions:

GTKY: Who knows you best? If anyone it’s probably my oldest friend who I’ve known since late junior high, fully half my life now. But I feel like I reveal different parts of myself to different people, so there are probably things about me that my husband or my sister get better than her? Idk it didn’t actually happen but I was so stressed at my wedding that friends from different parts of my life were going to meet each other and discover they all had wildly different ideas of who I am. (Have I mentioned social anxiety runs in my family?)

thatbaintforbetty · June 2

@aisleofviewtwo it’s pretty much stopped. What I have now is like the last day or 2 of your period when it’s like spotting, dark brown and thicker? Total ick. They didn’t do a real in depth look on the ultrasound, which I’m not super surprised about, although they were much more supportive then the last time. I know with my younger one the hospital literally was like noting we can do, whatever happens..happens. They gave me no idea or instructions. I ended up switching insurance/doctors halfway through that pregnancy and my new (current) doc was like “oh you had a bad SCH I can still see it on the anatomy scan they sent over.” <one of the reasons I am adamant about a good OB cause the one before didn’t say anything

also YAY for no more injections!!!🎉🥳🎈

(I am super jealous, I’m so over the shots)

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: 3rd!

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 💕🎀

Upcoming Appointments: next Monday

How are you feeling?: much better honestly. Nausea has calmed way down although sometimes I still throw up - especially brushing my teeth. Fatigue has chilled too, I get tired in the afternoon now instead of all day long 😂 back pain (SI joint yay) and peeing 2-4 times a night now so welcome to second trimester!

Rants/Raves: pregnancy is for the birds lol. I like the end result and also the baby movement /baby bump but that’s about it lol. Although I am thankful!!!!

Questions: none this is my third rodeo 😂

GTKY: Who knows you best? - my mama of course ❤️ my husband and bestie are a close second but does anyone ever know you better than your mama?

newmommahi · June 3

EDD / Weeks + Days: 14 weeks today!

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: FTM

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 💙

Upcoming Appointments: I’m cancelling my appointment with the OB that laughed at my questions, and have a new one scheduled on 6/20.

How are you feeling? So tired! When does that second trimester energy kick in? We’re moving in two weeks and there is lots to do, but I’m barely off the couch.

Rants/Raves: I think I put enough in the sections above.

Questions: When are the normal OB appointments supposed to be? I feel like the two I’ve had were seemingly purposeless besides a 2 second ultrasound, and idk if they were in a normal time window based on weeks.

GTKY: Who knows you best? Husband. I’m feeling so grateful to have a partner like him for all of this, and I feel closer to him now that we get to experience this for the first time together. And he makes me lasagna when my body deems it necessary 😂

brookejay06 · June 3

@thatbaintforbetty Sorry about the bleeding- so unnerving.

@nopegoat Ughhhh why is it always like that?? You aren’t ready to buy a vehicle but your vehicle is ready to be done. Sucks.

@mamakeeg Sweet that you have that kind of relationship with your mom 🩷 And now you’re having a girl, so that’s exciting!! My mom definitely doesn’t know me at alllllllll…. But that’s another story haha.

EDD / Weeks + Days: 14+1, Dec 1

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: third

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: finding out at 20 weeks

Upcoming Appointments: mid June 16 week visit

How are you feeling? Around 13+3 I started having more good days than bad days and that’s such an encouragement. Some days I even feel *normal* which serves to remind me how awful I’ve felt. However, today is a saltines + couch day. Oh well. We’re getting there.

Rants/Raves: Just found out that my SIL is pregnant which is so exciting for them, but I wish we weren’t having babies 2 months apart bc it feels like there’s already a lot of comparison.

Questions:

GTKY: Who knows you best? Unquestionably my two besties (met when we were 18). They truly remember things about my life that I have forgotten. There is not a thing about me they don’t know. Sadly we moved to another state last year so I only see them for a couple days each year. It’s so sad.

virginiaham · June 3

@thatbaintforbetty I’m glad it’s slowing! How scary. Hoping all looked ok at your appointment today!

@aisleofviewtwo hooray for finishing up those meds!! 🎉

EDD / Weeks + Days: {Nov transplant} Nov 13, 16+5

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: 3rd

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 🩷🎀!

Upcoming Appointments: end of the month for 20wk appt plus hopefully anatomy scan at the university hospital

How are you feeling?

Rants/Raves: We had an elective early ultrasound and she said definitely girl…I know they can sometimes be wrong so we’ll see if we are pivoting at the anatomy scan or if it confirms team pink!

Questions:

GTKY: Who knows you best? I feel like my husband probably the best now, but we both met as young professionals in other parts of the world from our formative homes/friend groups. He knows me now, but definitely my BFF growing up knows my “where I came from” best.

thatbaintforbetty · June 3

@virginiaham congrats on the girl!!!

Thankfully all good! Although it took a while to find the baby, apparently they are very very active (just like the other 2 in utero). DH jokes that our kids come into being at Mach 5 and then stay at that speed. 🤦‍♀️ My hopes for one chill kid are dwindling by the minute.

EDD / Weeks + Days: 11+5

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated:6th

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:green

Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow I have a phone appt with a nurse and then an appt with my Dr next week for the first time

How are you feeling? Tired, nauseous

Rants/Raves:
Trying to soak all of this in because this will be our last but with being busy with the other kids and knowing what to expect, I’m over this. My nausea usually gets better by 16 weeks from
previous pregnancies but that is so far away still. I’m trying to just keep myself together to
have a fun summer with my kids and be there for them but it’s hard being sick and tired.

Questions: NATM

GTKY: Who knows you best? My husband

bridgiebee82 · June 4

@thatbaintforbetty ugh I'm sorry you had such a scare. And for the rude remarks you got. Ew. People need to keep their negativity to themselves. How was your appointment yesterday?

@virginiaham Team Girl! 💕🩷 yay! I'm excited for bows and ruffles, but also terrified because I love being a boy mom and playing with cars and trucks and stuff. I am not a girly girl, but I can adapt if I need to! Lol

EDD / Weeks + Days: Dec / 13w4d

FTM/STM/TTM+/it's complicated: Complicated

Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: 🩷🎀

Upcoming Appointments: 6/18 with my OB. Still trying to schedule with MFM. I'm annoyed because they're not calling me back.

How are you feeling? Less nauseous, but still super tired. It doesn't help that my almost 3 year old has decided that sleep isn't necessary and gets up before 6am these days. 😭 And refuses to nap. And will NOT go to sleep before 9pm. 🥱😖

Rants/Raves: My husband is just on my nerves lately. Everything he does annoys the crap out of me. I'm sure it's my hormones being crazy. But sometimes I just want to shake him by the shoulders and yell, "WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DUMB?!" Also, MFM is not returning my calls and my OB wants me to make an appointment. They told me they need a referral from my OB, but my OB said they sent it, so I don't know what to do. Also, RLP has started already and I'm not a fan.

Questions: any tips on how to keep up my energy, other than drinking a ton of caffeine? By 2pm, I'm ready to crash every day.

GTKY: Who knows you best? I'd say my sister, Siobhan. She is 3 years (and a week!) older than I am and she is my best friend. We weren't always this close, but she truly knows me best.
