[osumegs]

bazinga I'm with you in the needing to eat healthier foods! I've been pretty much only able to eat sweets which aren't doing either of us (baby or me) any favors.

[aprilz81]

EDD: Jan 12 or 16, waiting on OB to make final decision

How many weeks today: 9w6d (or 10w3d if Jan 12 due date is accurate)

Previous appointment(s) results: Last week we were released from the RE. Strong heart beat (180 bpm) but still measuring small.

Next appointment plans: 6/28 for OB intake and 7/8 for first OB appointment and ultrasound.

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: The past few weeks I've noticed I get winded really easy, like after climbing a flight of stairs and then trying to talk. I'm not in the greatest shape to begin with, but this is crazy. Due to current pelvic rest/exercise bann I can't even do anything about it yet. I took good naps on Friday and Saturday and I'm blaming it on growing a human but that is just an excuse. lol I've had several bouts of PAINFUL gas (shooting pains) that are super annoying but otherwise my symptoms are mostly gone.

Any U/S, bump pics: Baby is still a blob and I'm just fat. lol We did go Facebook public today and grandparents are now able to share the news freely.

[flcl]

Hi Ladies, sorry I've been MIA... Life's been a bit crazy and getting on here to participate has been tough. I've tried reading the past posts but even that has been tough. I hope it's ok that I hop on whenever I can!

EDD: 1/16

How many weeks today: 9w6d

Previous appointment(s) results: 6w ultrasound, saw heartbeat

Next appointment plans: delaying the early GD test cause nausea is not handling that awful orange drink. I've got an appointment for genetics testing 7/5 (I'll be 12w1d) and then an appointment with the dr 7/11 (13w)

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Still so exhausted. The unisom and B6 combo is helping slightly. I start to get nauseated late afternoon and dinner is not my friend. Im definitely starting to get bigger, which I know is suppose to happen, but right now, I just look fat, not pregnant. That didn't start happening till way later last time. I'm also having less patience for stupid people so.... yeah....

Any U/S, bump pics: n/a

[professormcgonagall]

EDD: December 31
How many weeks today: 12 +1
Previous appointment(s) results:
Next appointment plans:
Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Food aversion are so real right now. Chicken, shrimp, pesto, and most vegetables make me gag. I started my registry this week because I'm going to be having an early baby shower at 22 weeks to accommodate an out of town friend and I wanted to make sure those were ready.
Any U/S, bump pics: No bump pics yet but I can feel the very top of my uterus now so it's coming

[Bulma]

EDD: 01/29/2017
How many weeks today: 8 weeks!
Previous appointment(s) results: First appointment was on 06/16 and we saw Jellybean and a heartbeat.
Next appointment plans: 07/13 @11w3d Hoping baby keeps growing
Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Terrible morning sickness all day and all night. Can't eat because I'm nauseous. Nauseous because I can't eat. Can't sleep because I'm nauseous. Just started taking Diclegis after trying everything I could for the past two weeks. The last two days have been some relief, but without nausea, I'm afraid I have no way to gauge how baby is doing. Does that make any sense?
Any U/S, bump pics: Not sure how to post a picture from my iPad. I have a lovely bloat bump though!

[biscotto]

EDD: Jan 22 I think..
How many weeks today: 9 weeks, 1 day
Previous appointment(s) results: Last appointment was two weeks ago, baby measured a few days behind my calculations, but actually match to O date (I Oed late)
Next appointment plans: July 4, 11 weeks 1 day for NT Scan since I'll be leaving the country for 5 weeks, doctor wanted to get it in.
Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: The only minor relief I have from nausea is in the morning, early, for about an hour then it's all day festival of nausea. Sweets make it worse. I can eat without problem, it proves minor relief but if I eat anything sweet at all it's worse. Fruit is out too. I've been eating like crap, lots of fries and chips, things I never eat but it's all I want. Evening is the worst, I can barely sit up without wanting to vomit.
Any U/S, bump pics: Not yet... I just look like I've been indulging in fries and burgers (which I have, lol).

[summergirl1211]

EDD: January 1st
How many weeks today: 12 weeks, 1 day
Previous appointment(s) results: pregnancy confirmation u/s and graduation from RE at 8 weeks 5 days, OB intake and heard heart beat for the first time at 9 weeks 5 days
Next appointment plans: follow up OB appointment on 7/11 at 15 weeks 1 day
Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: nausea is finally easing, still constantly exhausted. I go back and forth between craving sweets and savory food. Just trying my best to eat as healthy as I can.
Any U/S, bump pics: I took my first one yesterday at 12 weeks. I know most of it is my fat moving around but I suppose I can share. My waist is definitely getting thicker!

Next appointment plans: Next appointment 7/8 at 12 weeks 2 days.  Another u/s and first tri NT scan.

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Nausea is finally starting to take a back seat slightly and all I want are carbs, carbs and more carbs.  We bought an elliptical a couple weeks ago and it was just delivered last Friday so I'm excited to get moving on that.  Last pregnancy I gained 50 pounds and I am not planning on doing that again!  Time to get moving. 

Any U/S, bump pics: No bump pics yet.  In the mornings you can barely tell there's anything there but by the end of the day I look 5 months pregnant because of the bloat.

Any pics: Nada but my blump could pass as an 18 week bump at this point >.<

[thelittleredm]

bazinga, I'm right there with you having to really watch what I eat now

[bazinga]

I didn't realize how anxious I really was about my appointment today until now. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest and I can breathe properly again!

I got to see "mouse" on a mini u/s machine - arms, legs, and a heartbeat My OBGYN wasn't sure we'd hear anything but she managed that too! Now we just need to get through NT scan next week and we can start to get really excited.

[summergirl1211]

bazinga, yay for a great appointment! Hopefully your scan goes well next week too!

[jrun2013]

Previous appointment(s) results: 2 ultrasounds at the RE, good heartbeat visible!

Next appointment plans: last ultrasound with RE tomorrow

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: rave: DH has been pretty amazing. Our DD still gets up usually once a night and he's been handling most middle of the night wake ups so I can get my much needed sleep!

Any U/S, bump pics: not on my phone.

[neekoneeko]

Congrats on a great appointment bazinga!

[peaseblossom55]

Yay congrats on a great appointment bazinga!

[otepoti]

EDD: January 12th
How many weeks today: 10 +6
Previous appointment(s) results: Booking appointment at 7 +5, all standard
Next appointment plans: Dating scan at 12 +4 (4th July) Can't wait.
Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: I'm soooo bloated, I don't feel as sick but I'm still off a lot of foods.

Any U/S, bump pics: No I still just look fat and bloated.

[tmclawchick]

EDD: 1/30

How many weeks today: 8w2d

Previous appointment(s) results: I had bloodwork done yesterday but no results yet

Next appointment plans: I have a dating u/s tomorrow. I was supposed to have my first appt with the Dr afterwards, but DH has a client meeting that he can't miss, so I need to get out asap to get home so he can fly to work... so we rescheduled the ob visit to 7/7.

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Throwing up almost daily but I think I'm handling it well. No real desire to eat anything except grapes and garden burgers.

Any U/S, bump pics: Nothing yet!

[meerkatmillie]

EDD: 1/23

How many weeks today: 9w3d

Previous appointment(s) results: Haven't updated in awhile. Have had several scans with my RE. We're finally graduated to a regular OB!
@9w0d (6/20) HB (178) Baby measuring 9w0d
@7w4d (6/10) HB (150) Baby measuring 7w4d
@6w4d (6/3) HB! Baby measuring 6w5d, sac 6w4d

Next appointment plans: 06/28 @10w1d; 1st OB intake appt, possibly another U/S

Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, names, articles, good buys, other advice: Queasiness finally turned into nausea and vomiting around 8w. I can definitely relate to the others on here wanting to eat healthy but only being able to eat sweets, carbs, fries, and other generally bad things. I'm usually a health nut so I feel so guilty, but everything else makes me sick to my stomach. I got to stop the progesterone suppositories I was on at 9w - I'm a little nervous about that but hopefully my dr knows best and everything will be ok. Supposedly the placenta should be taking over this hormone between 7-9 wks.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not this week, but u/s are starting to look less stick-like like now which is cool

[summergirl1211]

meerkatmillie, yay for a great appointment and graduating from the RE!
