How many weeks today: 13+2

Appointment plans/results: August 9 is my next appointment.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Still exhausted. I can't wait for 2nd tri energy.

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) I don't really have any.

[flyinghorses6]

EDD: 2/7

How many weeks today: 13

Appt plans/results: I think my next appointment is around 16 weeks.

How ya feeling: still pretty tired, still sick one time in the morning before breakfast, and starting to feel so round!

Any US/bump pics: not this week

Bonus GTKY: no smell aversions.

[oldbaylover1024]

EDD: 2/17

How many weeks today: 11w4d

Appointment plans/results: Still waiting on our panorama blood work results. We just had the draw on Thursday.

How ya feeling: Still pretty awful. Nausea is in full swing, and the exhaustion is ridiculous. The only craving I've had is for butter pecan ice cream. I've indulged a couple times, and had no regrets

Any U/S, bump pics: No way. No bump to speak of yet.

Bonus GTKY: OMG everything is a smell aversion, especially artificial smells like sprays, lotions, sanitizers, that kind of stuff. This PG is the complete opposite of my experience with J. With her I hardly had nausea (in the morning and it was gone by 10 a.m.), no puking, no aversions, nothing... just totally different. Not that I think we're having a boy this time around - I know symptoms don't mean much regarding the sex.

EDD: 2/23

How many weeks today: 10w5d

Appointment plans/results: August 15th

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Still nauseous and tired. Cramps on and off.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not yet

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) It really depends. Coffee, veggies, and some meats. I can't really remember what smells I couldn't handle last time

[ls2012]

EDD: 2/11, bumped up from 2/15

How Far: 12w3d

Appointments: Mat21 testing/genetics counselor/ AMA crap on Aug 9th, regular OB on the 15th.

How Feeling: Mostly good. Still a twinge of nausea here and there, still exhausted, and my hips are feeling sore and loose.

Pics?: not today

GTKY: Smells haven't really bothered me this time. But most food sounds (eating/crunching/etc.) and thoughts about food in general really turn my stomach.

[addymac]

EDD: 2-16

How many weeks today: 11w5d

Appointment plans/results: in a lovely wait of up to 2 weeks to find  out the results of the cell free DNA test... Then an ob and u/s appts on 8/22

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm just really freakin tired again lately. I slept so much this weekend and would have slept more if I didn't feel guilty. My nausea is at a Low, currently, so that's exciting. I can eat most things but the idea of cooking and opening our fridge still makes me gag. Boobs are sore. My blump comes and goes.

Any U/S, bump pics: nope

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd) most food and coffee. Anything really. My H's bread he uses for sandwiches. The smell of any food place we walk into or near (jimmy johns, a bar, potbelly, donut shop). COFFEE SMELLS SO BAD!!

[Deleted]

EDD: 2-19
11 weeks 2 days

Feeling utterly exhausted and nauseous constantly. Hopefully only another couple weeks of this.

I have sequential screening on the 8th and my regular appointment on the 9th I think.

I'm feeling and looking pretty round already.

No real aversions at all so far so that's nice. My pregnancy with DD was rough with the smell aversions and it was horrible!

[lovebb09]

EDD: 2/12

How many weeks today: 12+2

Appointment plans/results: Not until Aug 10

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Feeling so much better physically. I'm down to taking Diclegis only at night. I no longer need it during the day. I'm getting a little energy back but I still need my daily naps!

Any U/S, bump pics: Nope!

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
I randomly can't stand the smell of my normal body wash! This happened with my first PG too.

[sweetieheart32]

EDD: 2/15

How many weeks today: 11+6

Appointment plans/results: Checkup on Monday

How ya feeling: Still throwing up, but I hope it may be getting less frequent? Nausea, food and smell aversions. I have been crying a ton this weekend

Any U/S, bump pics: nope.

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? Ugh everything smells!! Cologne, deodorant, soap, shampoo, detergent, mop water, coffee, lotion, my dog, dirty diapers, etc. With DD it was just pumpkin spice smells I couldn't handle. And I thought that was bad.

[shellbell]

EDD: 2/8
How many weeks today: 12+6
Appointment plans/results: NT scan last week -- everything looks good, so we just are waiting for the bloodwork. My next appointment is in 3 weeks.

How ya feeling: I think the nausea is easing up. I'm still really tired, and I have a hard time handling the heat/humidity. But I'm feeling better than I was.

Pics:


GTKY: I cannot stand the smell of toilet bowl cleaner. Last time I couldn't stand the smell of our home office.

[sweetieheart32]

Yay shellbell baby! Aww

[oldbaylover1024]

So glad the scan went well, shellbell! Great pic

[nomnom]

EDD: 2/24

How many weeks today: 10w4d

Appointment plans/results: Next appt on 8/19 for NT scan

How ya feeling: Still bits of nausea, but I'm hoping that will ease up soon since I'm tapering off of estrace. Also hoping fatigue will lighten up as I taper off of progesterone supplements.

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) Garlic, coffee, other stuff that changes day by day; same as last time.

Appointment plans/results: none yet

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I had a few days where I felt ok but not doing wonderful today. Can anyone else not sleep? I am so so tired but my system cannot relax at night. I'm getting maybe 1-2 hours a night and I just want to sleep!

Any U/S, bump pics: none yet

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
I'm the worst with smells even when I'm not pregnant. I made my DH shower again bc I couldn't stand the lavender soap he used. Also hate all perfumes, detergents with smell or air fresheners. The smell of cooking meat is also horrible!

[musicallyinclined]

EDD: 2/12

How many weeks today: 12+2

Appointment plans/results: had an accidental appointment yesterday just to check heart tones. I shocked myself on our dryer, which is broken. No other appointment until the 23rd

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): I am so tired like falling asleep at 9:15 on the couch after napping tired. Other than that feel pretty good. Can't seem to get rid of my headache. But I'm not going to complain. Compared to DS this pregnancy has been a dream.


Any U/S, bump pics: nothing yet

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
With DS it was cooking chicken and diesel exhaust. This time nothing has been too bad since like 8 weeks. Hallelujah.

[beachdreamer]

EDD: 2/12/17

How many weeks today: 12w2d

Appointment plans/results: OB appt Fri (8/5). Will be getting blood draws for genetic testing (leaning toward MaterniT)

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)Feeling about the same (good) though I did have a scary dizzy spell Sunday. My pants are getting tighter and I think I have gained about 3 lbs. I am anxious for my appt just so I know things are going ok.

Any U/S, bump pics:

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) I have a strong sense of smell even not pregnant so it doesn't change much. With DS I thought cooking beef smelled like a barnyard but as long as I wasn't the one cooking it I could eat it. This time I haven't noticed much either. My H had a beer one night, and while I love beer, I couldn't stand the smell of his breath even after he brushed his teeth.

[shawnabm1320]

EDD: they changed it to 2/24 (boo - going backwards!)

How many weeks today: 10 +4

Appointment plans/results: saw little peanut's heartbeat last Friday! I'll come back and upload a picture in a minute. It looks like a smudge, but you can kinda see an arm and leg, which is super cool! Next appointment isn't until September 9th since I'm low risk, second pregnancy. I'm grateful that I don't need extra monitoring but really. 6 weeks is such a long time. Hopefully I'll be able to feel movement before the appointment.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Still nauseous. Actually I feel worse than last week. I think I feel worse when I'm tired. I must go to bed earlier. For real.

Any U/S, bump pics:

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) The only real smell aversion I have is poopy diapers and cooking meat. Well, in the evenings, any food smell is enough to make me gag. And weirdly enough, the eos Chapstick grapefruit flavor. That smelled so gross to me that I'm getting rid of it and giving it to a friend (it's unused, don't worry!). I don't actually remember any smell aversions last time, so this is new.

[staz]

EDD: 2/23

How many weeks today: 10w5d

Appointment plans/results: Had our first appointment last week. Got to see our LO and hear the heart beat, but it was very quick, just to confirm that everything looked normal. I get another "real" one in two and a half weeks.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm feeling much better after starting the Unisom and B6. I'm just tired and I can't wait for second tri to get my energy back.

Any U/S, bump pics:


Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
Peanut butter is the devil (which makes me sad because I want all the peanut butter!)

[loves2shop4shoes]

EDD: 2/6/17

How many weeks today: 13w1d

Appointment plans/results: ugh. As per my last major update, I'm considering switching OBs. Another headache. Joy.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

Complete and total exhaustion, constipation, and have I mentioned exhaustion?

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions?

I seriously cannot handle the smell of pork. DH got takeout that had pork in it last night and it was truly awful.

[wildflower810]

EDD: 2/22

How many weeks today: 10+6

Appointment plans/results: First appointment a week from tomorrow!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm miserable. Starting to eat more, but not any less sick.

Any U/S, bump pics: The bump is there, but meh to pictures yet.

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
Everything! Alll the things stink.

[ShelV]

EDD: eh...somewhere between 2/23 and 3/3. Waiting on an u/s next week for a more accurate date.

How many weeks today: 9w5d - 10w6d

Appointment plans/results: At the appointment last week, the midwife and I decided that we have a very fuzzy idea of how far along I really am because of my unpredictable cycles, so I'm scheduled for an u/s next week to find out. 9 more days and counting!

How ya feeling: Actually pretty good the past few days. Last week was awful in terms of nausea, but this week, I've been almost normal. A couple of bouts of dizziness, which has been worrying, but otherwise good.

Any U/S, bump pics: nope

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+) First time, I hated the stuffy smell of being indoors. Second time, no smell aversions at all. This time, I had unpredictable smell aversions (and everything else aversions) until a few days ago. Things that hadn't bothered me 10 minutes ago would suddenly be the worst thing ever.[/quote]

[notagoddess]

EDD: February 22

How many weeks today: 11 weeks

Appointment plans/results: The nurse had the OB do a quick scan of the baby last week, and all looked good! The big 12 week scan is next Friday. We are planning on telling people if it goes well. I'll also start looking into childcare, buying baby gear, etc.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I feel like the nausea is starting to lessen. Exhaustion is still going strong. The hip and back pain have gotten better since I've been more careful about posture and added in swimming.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not this week.

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? MH bought this orange cleaner which smells like the worst thing to me right now. I am hating most artificial chemical smells. For food, garlic is bad.

[staccajaye]

EDD: 11 Feb

How many weeks today: 12w7d

Appointment plans/results: had our 12 week NT scan and blood results on Monday. Everything came back great. Got to see lil wriggley worm baby. Have my first OB appointment this Monday

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
This is going to sound lovely but I've been constipated, then I have the worst stomach ache and diarrhea/spewing, and it happened on Monday at my scan So their first impression of me is the girl who kept saying "oh sorry I'll be right back" and I'd run to the 1 toilet there. So embarrassing
I hope no one is going through this.


Any U/S, bump pics: see below

Bonus GTKY: What are your smell aversions? How are they different this time? (if it's your 2nd+)
Smells change daily, white wine, cigarette smoke, my husbands farts hehe

[wildflower810]

Oh my God, is that a thing in first tri? I hope they stop for you!

[EmMilAlly]

wildflower810 I hope they stop!

[oldbaylover1024]

Whhhaaaaat, wildflower810?! That's crazy!

[wildflower810]

notagoddess, EmMilAlly, oldbaylover1024, they stopped. The contractions weren't anywhere near labor contractions, but it was still noticeable. With DS I started feeling contractions at 14 weeks and had lots of issues with too many contractions through the 2nd and 3rd tri. Looks like my body hasn't forgotten how this pregnancy thing works! I'm not excited about it, but DS was delivered at 40w1d with no medical intervention or drugs to stop contractions (lots and lots of natural remedies, though). So I'll be keeping an eye on it and taking it easy at times, but at the moment I'm not worried about preterm delivery or anything.
