Welcome to the first pregnancy check-in for S15! This is where all the rest of y'all can stalk us pregnant people

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Anything exciting recently or coming up?

QOTW: Are you finding out gender?

[nomnom]

How far along are you? 6w4d (blueberries), twins

How are you feeling? Nauseated, tired.

Anything exciting recently or coming up? Well, we saw two heartbeats this morning--twins again! I hope my lab draw goes well so they don't increase my dose of progesterone again Two milliliters of oil in my backside every night is enough.

QOTW: Are you finding out gender?
Yes. It drives me nuts to not have information I could have.

TWINS!!!!!!!!

[trackgirl]

Holy shit nomnom. 4u2!!! I don't know how you're so positive lol I would freaking die.

[nomnom]

I think twins is easier than Irish twins. They have the same needs, so we just double everything.

[cocopuff]

Congrats nomnom, another set of twins!! Eeeek!

Fearsy, sorry you have to waste an appt to pee in a cup! Any chance they'll squeeze in an ultrasound that day? Is this a new practice for you?

Also, this check in can also double as a love/support thread for all you pregnant moms, right?!

[nomnom]

Fearsy Good luck peeing over the phone.

cocopuff Support is always welcome

[Madso]

How far along? 6 weeks 5 days according to my ovia app (ultrasound at 6 weeks showed more like 5 weeks)

How are you feeling? I'm in limbo until next Monday so I am feeling stressed. I've had a little bit of cramping, sore boobs, and small waves of nausea. My symptoms are very minimal which doesn't help PGAL brain.

Anything exciting? Ultrasound on Monday to hopefully see a heartbeat after just seeing a gestational and yolk sac last week. Prayers please, although this is a surprise pregnancy I really really want it to work out :-(

QOTW: after finding out with both girls if all goes well we are team GREEN this time around.

[nomnom]

Madso FX for a good u/s on Monday!

[sandj918]

I'm 11 weeks 2 days.

I feel like crap. This nausea is totally cramping my Summer style. I've puked soooo many more times than with either of my other pregnancies. I'm really hoping it lessens as I near the second tri.

Exciting? We'll find out the results of our bloodwork next week and know if we're having a third girl or first boy!

nomnom, two sets of twins! Woah! I'm so excited for y'all.

[sandj918]

Madso, FX for a good ultrasound on Monday. Limbo's the worst.

[radiantly]

nomnom that's incredible. Congrats!! I had a nightmare when I was pregnant (remember those weird pregnancy dreams?!) that I was pregnant with two sets of twins. One fraternal set that split into identicals each. I am so in awe. Do you have enough space?? That's my main reason I'm not trying yet. We live in a 750sqft apartment which I love and we can't afford to buy bigger in our neighborhood. I love my job and want to stay here longer although we do want to move out of the city at some point. Anyway that's my check in about why I'm not pregnant. That and the fact that my libido (and period) are still non existent.

Was anyone here still breastfeeding and not getting a period when you got pregnant?

[BookishMomma]

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm thinking of all of you preglies, especially those dealing with PGAL brain. XOXO

[nomnom]

radiantly IVF invalidates libido concerns . And we have plenty of space. We live in a middle-of-nowhere midwestern college town.

[sandj918]

radiantly, me

[mowkey]

Madso FX for a good ultrasound

[mowkey]

So so excited! Babies and Twins ermehgerd...

[cowplanet]

nomnom, omg ... I think I'd lose my mind in your shoes! Hopefully your second trimester gives you a good burst of glowy energy to chase after your twin toddlers! omg our babies are almost toddlers!

*Stalking*

Congrats!!! Twins again wow! We decided to TTC again, and DH is wanting to tx 2 while I want to do 1. We can't agree right now In his mind it'd be easier to deal with another set of twins than watching my heartbreak if one didn't work. All I can think of is that if we had twins again, we'd have to get 2 new cars, 2 new cribs, a quad stroller, and well ... a BIG house! lol. 

[charliefox]

Ahhhhh! I love this thread!

nomnom, Congrats on another set of twins! Hope the nausea stays in check.
Fearsy, and the pregnancy waiting game begins...hope the next few weeks fly by for you
Madso, sorry you're in limbo. PgAL brain is the pits. Positive thoughts for you through Monday.
sandj918, every time you post I'm shocked at how far a long you are...almost 2nd tri! Can't wait to find out what you're having!

[andtheheartbreakers]

BABIES!!!!!! I can't even contain myself.

[mandie]

Twins! Congrats @nomnom
Madso thinking of you
@fearsy I actually think waiting till 7 weeks is smart. So hard to wait.
Congrats to all!

[mandie]

I am thrilled for all of you. But reading this thread (and presumably subsequent ones) confirm how happy I am to be two and through.

[London]

Love you all, this thread made me smile.

Even your post, nomnom. I smiled after my head stopped reeling at the term "4u2". Your attitude is beyond amazing!

[emejay]

nomnom OMG!!!!! You won't ever be able to leave your house without being assaulted by little old ladies hahah!

Madso Sending you so much love and positive thoughts

[nomnom]

emejay That is extremely accurate. And everyone will ask if twins run in my family.

London My husband is 55 and pregnancy gets in the way of me living my life the way I want to, but we both want more kids. Our solution is to have all of our kids asap and just acknowledge that the next few years are going to be really hard. The up side is that when we're out of diapers, we will be out of diapers forever. Also, kid leashes. I have no problem using them to keep my kids from running into traffic or getting lost in a crowd. Mama just will not have enough hands.

Do they have double leashes, lol?

[nomnom]

mandie Single leashes are better. That way they can be on opposite sides if they can't get along. Or this:


ETA: more appropriate and probably accurate picture.

[junewife]

So happy for all of you, and wishing you smooth pregnancies!

@nomnom congrats on the twin news! You've got this!

Madso thinking of you and hoping for good news soon.

@sandj hope your morning sickness subsides soon! Mine started tapering at 12w both times and was totally gone by 15w

@fearsy hope your first appt goes well!

Yay babies!

[euphony]

I have been a bit awol, but congrats to all pregglies and to nomnom on twins! Whenever you mention your husband I am never sure who I think is more impressive: you for carrying back to back twins or him for wanting 4 under 2 at 55.

Actually, it is totally you, who am I kidding.
