[beefinch]

How far along are you?
13w+1d


How are you feeling?
Just tired still all the time, and food aversions are STILL here... cannot even look at meat, and I'm a big meat eater, well I was!


Any appointments this week?
I have got nothing until 16 weeks, and then I have three appointments over four days lol.


QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
Probably like 6, but that would be spaced out a lot so I didn't feel like I was pregnant all of my adult life.

[grumpycat88]

How far along are you? 13 w 1 day



How are you feeling? Ok. I've had light pink discharge yesterday and its light, brown today. It's freaking me out. I'm trying to just rest & drink a ton of water. I still have very sore boobs, a belly, and can feel flutters so it's really just a mindfuck right now.



Any appointments this week? Not until the end of May, though they would probably see me if I called about the spotting.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? 2 or 3. DH only wants 2.

How far along are you?
11w3d

How are you feeling?
SO much better! The nausea is starting to let up and I'm getting some decent sleep.

Any appointments this week?
Nope. Well, I have a a hair appt on Thursday but no baby appts haha.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
Probably still only 2. I feel like even if we had all the time and money in the world, 2 is just more manageable with things like cars and vacations - and we wouldn't be outnumbered 😉. Maybe 3 though, because I grew up in a family of 3 kids so I think the oldest/middle/youngest is kind of a fun dynamic.

How far along are you? 11+2



How are you feeling? Physically I'm doing better. Still some nausea but no more dry heaves it seems. Emotionally I'm struggling with my body image. That's never fun, especially when there's not much you can do about.



Any appointments this week?
I am currently sitting at my appointment. Just had an ultrasound to follow up about my SCH. Pap, labs, and panorama next.


QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I'd like 3, which I always imagined myself having. H originally wanted 4 but I feel like going from 3 to 4 becomes difficult. Needing cars with three rows, divided time, it just seems like too much. Three feels good because it's a good sized family without seeming overwhelming. But what do I know, lol.

How far along are you? 11w2d



How are you feeling? Still tired and I have a renewed soreness in my boobs. Food sounds better than it did last week, but I'm not overly hungry. The spotting I've been having has let up quite a bit even though it still shows up every few days.



Any appointments this week? Not until next Tuesday.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I've always loved the idea of having 4-5 teen/adult kids, but I don't think DH or I have the patience to raise two more babies. I like three for my reality. It's like the illusion of a big family with more manageability.

[cdnfarmgirl]

I How far along are you? 13+4



How are you feeling? Pretty good actually. Just the normal
Exhaustion.



Any appointments this week? First one today.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? 3. This will be #3 and I'm good with being done after this.

[mariavontrapp]

How far along are you? 11w1d



How are you feeling? Normal. Nausea is gone. Tired but that is nothing new.



Any appointments this week? 12 week appointment Friday. I'm nervous for some reason.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? We would both love 4 if money and space weren't an issue.

[amadine23]

How far along are you? 10w3d


How are you feeling? Still puking and haven't left the house, but I'm eating a bit more and starting to feel slightly better.


Any appointments this week? Just a blood draw for the quad screen


QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
Definitely at least 3, maybe 4. But with the way pregnancy is for me, we might be done at 2.

[blabbermouth]

How far along are you? 12w6d



How are you feeling? I felt so great yesterday! I even had some energy back. I may have overdone it though, a bit of stretching/discomfort across my lower belly today. But they aren't kidding when they say symptoms just disappear around the end of the 1st tri. Oh, and what is this lightning crotch I've heard of, I might be having that, haha. 



Any appointments this week? Thursday. Feeling antsy for it, I want to hear the heartbeat again.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? One, maybe two. It's hard to say because I don't have any right now, and it took some help to get this one.

[twotxmommies]

How far along are you? 9w6d



How are you feeling? not bad. starving all the time is a struggle.



Any appointments this week? last blood draw this morning (hopefully) to check prog and est levels.


QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? 4 is good

[laurensc927]

How far along are you? 10 weeks 4 days

How are you feeling?Pretty good. I need to start going to bed earlier b/c I can't seem to drag myself out of bed in the morning.

Any appointments this week? Nope, nothing until next Thursday

QOTW: I've always said 2 but the idea of 1 is overwhelming MH so this kiddo may be it.

[flazz]

How far along are you? 12W5D

How are you feeling? Pretty good! Some cramping and digestion issues, but nothing too bad.

Any appointments this week? I had one on Friday (see note below) and then one today to do my NT scan.
Trigger warning, but story turns out fine: I had a bad day on Friday. I went to my midwife appointment and the midwife was there with a student. I have no problem with that. The student led most of the appointment, but the midwife jumped in when necessary. When it was time to listen to the heartbeat, the student couldn't find it (plus the doppler kept dying and there was drama getting new batteries and then they just brought in a whole new doppler. Then the midwife took over and she couldn't hear the heartbeat and so tried with a vaginal doppler, and still couldn't hear it. This is when I started to fall apart crying. I will say that they moved quickly to get me an appointment at the hospital to get an ultrasound and they were very kind, but I was alone (husband was on his way back from a business trip). I sobbed the entire way to the hospital. Thankfully the tech found the baby on the ultrasound and everything looked fine. I know alls well that ends well, but it was definitely a scary hour and I've resolved that I am not going to any appointments alone any more. I'm also thinking about switching practices, because the midwife told me multiple times they would call me after the ultrasound regardless of the results and I never got a call. Maybe I am expecting too much, but don't say you will do something and then not do it.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? 4!

13+2!

How are you feeling?
Good. All my symptoms have completely disappeared aside from occasionally burning nipples. I kind of wish that one would go away too.

Any appointments this week?
None this week, but my next check in with the OB is in a week.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
I think just two. Maybe three. I've never really thought about it much... I wouldn't want so many that I couldn't give them all the time they need. Also wouldn't want enough to cause rifts the way my mom and her siblings have gone through (along with every other huge family I've ever met). Two is good, I think.

Miss Killjoy - burning nipples?? ouch!

[peggels24]

How are you feeling? I am feeling pretty good. Most of the first tri morning sickness has gone away and now I’m just stuck in this weird “Am I really pregnant?” land. Luckily some of my weird food aversions keep me going LOL

Any appointments this week? My NT scan is tomorrow. I am not meeting with the dr though.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I think I would have liked 3 kids but am perfectly happy with 2 (since we got such a late start). To be honest, I would have been perfectly happy with just DD as well.

[peggels24]

beefinch It’s so weird – I want all the meat. I’ve always been a meat eater but never ignored french fries before LOL

Miss Killjoy Here’s hoping your burning nipples go away too! LOL

grumpycat88 ((hugs))

pootsen Yay for sleep! And hair appointments! My next hair cut isn’t until June something or other and it seems so far away. I’m in the process of growing it out.

cnf2013 I’m sorry you are struggling with your body image. Hopefully once the bump starts looking more like a bump, you will feel better about it.

@annperkins I wish the spotting would just go away for good!

cdnfarmgirl I hope your appointment went well.

@thatgolfbitch I hope the NT scan went well. And I hope the m/s just stops for you now – it’s been long enough.

mariavontrapp, I feel you on the space issue. We’ve decided to let DD1 and DD2 share a room so that we can keep a guest room (we have a lot of out of town guests and MIL will be staying with us for most of 2 months to help with baby). Good luck on Friday!

amadine23 Remind me – did your vomiting / nausea last all of your last pregnancy? I hope that it goes away soon for you this time around!

blabbermouth Good luck on Thursday! Second tri is so much better than first or third LOL

twotxmommies, Fx for good blood test results!

laurensc927 Mornings are so tough – especially when I’m all comfy under the covers.

@iheartmyshiba Oh no! I’m sorry that you were all pukey last night. I hope you feel better soon.

paperbagliz Four sounds perfect!

@catvaughn Hopefully you will have most of your energy back soon – it was such a relief when I was able to fully function last week. Good luck on Friday.

flazz Oh goodness – I’m so sorry about your Friday. That hour must have been so stressful. I had a similar issue except the doctor swore that he had heard the heartbeat so he knew it was there – just couldn’t get it back again. So then he sent me for an u/s but one of the reasons I love this practice so much is not only is my dr awesome but they have an u/s tech in their office so I was able to get one within minutes. I’m glad everything is good though!!!

[Deleted]

flazz, I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but I'm so glad everything looks good.

[izz67]

How far along are you? 13+3

How are you feeling? I keep getting dizzy at random times but other than that I'm feeling ok.

Any appointments this week? Nope, not until the end of the month.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
5. But that's not going to happen. 2 or 3 is more realistic for us, but I'm already getting nervous at the thought that this may be my last.

peggels24, hahaa, when I am feeling good I have the same thought of "Am I really pregnant"

[amadine23]

peggels24 I threw up until about 20 weeks (with zofran) and was nauseated for several more weeks beyond that. But both my mom and sister threw up until they gave birth, so I'm hoping I don't do that this time!!

[RoLoMa]

How far along are you? 11w2d

How are you feeling? Still quite nauseous and tired but learning to deal with it. I had a work trip to Phoenix last week and woke up to pink spotting on Thursday. It lasted for about 1.5 hours and then nothing until that evening once or twice. I haven't had anything since so logically I know everything is probably fine but I can't stop worrying. I even POAS tonight. I feel like I am losing my mind.

Any appointments this week? Have my 12w OB appt with ultrasound and bloodwork on Friday. I'm am anxious and really want it to get here quickly.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I would have loved 3 or 4 but with age, IF, and money we will be done at 2. We have talked about a potential 3rd but then rapidly return to reality.

[fknhostile]

How far along are you? 9w4d



How are you feeling? Awful still. Zofran keeps me from puking but I'm still nauseous 24/7.
I also feel soooo far behind everyone! Especially since baby is measuring 5 days behind! I just want out of this 1st tri.



Any appointments this week? Nope. Next Monday US.



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? This is our last (#4). We initially only wanted 1 (my 1st 2 are from previous relationships) but after our surprise 4th pregnancy that we lost in the 2nd tri, we realized how much we really wanted another. But this is my last.

[spacedcadet]

How far along are you? 10w5d



How are you feeling? Meh. I was feeling better for a couple of days but yesterday was pretty rough. I am so tired of feeling nauseous all of the time. Grrr.



Any appointments this week? nope



QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I have always wanted 2 and this will be 2.

[bostonbaker]

How far along are you? 12w4d

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall.  Eating normal food again which is great.  I'm starving all morning then don't eat much for the rest of the day.  My weight gain leveled off so I'm hoping I can hold steady for a bit.  I'm so tired of telling people I'm pregnant and hearing "I knew it!  You've been growing a belly!"  UGH. 

Any appointments this week? Nothing until 5/25.  Seems like such a long time, and I know that will just be a weight/BP/doppler check in.

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?  IDK, this will be #2 and we are done after this one.  I used to want 3 but I don't think I could handle it.

[jules1614]

How far along are you? 10w today

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Some nausea especially in the morning and sore boobs, bloated belly. Weird dreams too.

Any appointments this week? Just had one today and she found the HB right away! Not sure of the rate but I was sooooo relieved!!!

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario?
Probably 3. I was originally certain I only wanted 2 but now I'm not so sure.

[Deleted]

How far along are you? 11w 3d

How are you feeling? I'm feeling totally normal which has kind of been freaking me out. Still ravenously hungry, but that's about it.

Any appointments this week? Not until next week

QOTW: How many children would you have if everything was in an ideal scenario? I would like 4-5 kids. I hope this one goes a little smoother than DS (colicky). Then the chances of getting DH on board for another will be much easier.

[zonagirl]

How far along are you? 14 weeks today! The Bump app informed me that baby is now peeing in me. Yay.

How are you feeling? Really good. Back pain and peeing all the time are my main symptoms. And maybe the weepies since I literally cried through all three episodes of The Handmaid's Tale last week.

Any appointments this week? Nope. Next week.

QOTW: For me, the ideal scenario would have to be that future children slept wonderfully. Baby and toddler sleep kick my ass, so if I had magical unicorn sleepers, I'd like 3. We will see how #2 goes and probably decide around the time they are 15 months if we want another or not. I could be content with two.
