January randoms - or for week of Jan 1st?

[Flick]

springbeduk no back pain first time around until 30+ weeks. I'm currently laying on a heating pad and it seems to help some. Maybe I'll have to start doing some stretching or ask my doctor about a prenatal yoga program to help limber up my back.

Same. I have gotten spoiled over the last 11 days.

Yup. DS and I have gotten used to 730 wake ups. Back to 530 tomorrow. Disgusting.

Over the last two years I have totally forgotten what my pregnancy symptoms were and when they started. I wish I was someone who wrote things like that down. Because right now I have no symptoms and am freaking myself out about it. I know eventually i will feel nauseous, and exhausted. But when was that last time? Mom brain sucks

[thinkingofthree]

I vote for weekly randoms. Like I think Flick said, monthly overwhelms me & makes it hard to jump in.

I went to Home Goods today & bought some frames to put pictures up in my "new" office. (I started 11 months ago ...) AWing because I'm super proud of / excited about them.



ETA: Nevermind, I can't figure out the picture - side note: anyone have good links to tutorials?

Me too...and I just went through a full first trimester less than a year ago! If I hadn't had betas done, I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't believe that I was pregnant.

I'm in the same boat.  I'm glad I'm not dying, but at the same time I wish I had symptoms to be like, "Oh yeah, still in there!"


laurenash323, sorry if I missed, how were your betas?  Obviously must be pretty good, but I love hearing people's numbers.  I'm calling tomorrow to hopefully get some done this week.  My PgAL brain plays nasty tricks on me.

I don't think I had symptoms until at least 7 weeks or so last time. Which caused anxiety. This time I'm trying to be grateful gor any symptomless time. Though I think I had this lovely insomnia right at the beginning then too but hard to know if it's a symptom exactly or just anxiety/excitement/brain always racing because of finally having gotten that BFP!
Tomorrow morning is gonna suck because the alarm will he going off right about when I'm probably finally found asleep. Like, less than 4 hours from now. Blah.

They were good. 1275 at 4w4d and 3000+ (I can't exactly remember) at 4w6d. I go in Thursday for my first scan. I'll be a day or two shy of 6 weeks, so I'm a little nervous

I'm fine with whatever. Once I'm back to work (Tuesday) I won't be around as much as I have been over break.

I'm the opposite. I go back to work today so I will spend more time here. Work is slow at the moment.

I got hit at 7 weeks like a train last time.

Another newbie question - I made a lilypie ticker - how do I get it to show up properly in my signature? Is there a handy link to silly questions like these?

Check the help board under the main community board. I think someone mad a tutorial there.

The general key to posting an image, whether it be a still picture, a ticker, or a gif is to use the proper BB code. For a picture, it's this:

[ img ] insert picture url here [ /img ]

without the spaces.

I believe you use the same code for a ticker. I'll double check mine in a bit and report back.

[salmon2017]

RajahMD, you are awesome! For others, here is the post I referenced: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/8642/ticker-help
My mistake was using HTML instead of BB code.

So annoyed. Tried to make a Dr appointment with an OB, was told they needed a referral from primary care physician. Call primary care physician, get told that my insurance had assigned someone different to me. Call the place my insurance picked (over 40 miles away), they say they need new place to request information. New place won't request it says that's not how it works.

I hate insurance challenges. Starts the day off all wrong. Sorry about this Flick! For me, I dealt with the insurance company rather than the doctor's offices when assigning a PCP. I called up and told them who my PCP would be, and they added it to my insurance "profile". Do you think that might work?

Honestly it's worth a shot. I didn't think about doing it that way. Thank you!

That's super weird. I definitely just have to call my ob and they'll plop me on the schedule. Insurance is so dumb sometimes.

Oh! I just had another thought! I seem to remember there is some rule that you can make an OB your PCP, which could skip a step.

My daughter spent yesterday at my parents house and is now coming down off of a sugar high. Yay.

Gah I hate knowing I have a 90% chance of having the same weird pregnancy condition rear its head and looking for a doctor that is familiar with it.

I'm working from home today too so that's nice at least.

That sucks, sorry mambo. I am guessing you don't live in the same city you did during your last pregnancy? Or is there another reason you are looking for a new doctor?
