Appointments coming up? Got a consultant meeting this Friday, gender scan Saturday (!!!!) and then midwife meeting on Monday, very busy week for me lol
How are you feeling? Nothing changes. I'm still tired all the time, still not wanting to eat certain things (although I think that is getting slightly better, touch wood)
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My uterus is deffo above my belly button now. I can feel it when I laid down on my back, I can feel the line of where it pops up and then ends past my belly button, it's rock hard underneath my loose skin from DS pregnancy.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Getting that no doubt it's a bump, rather than people just wondering if you've put on weight. I'm at that stage now where the bump is pushing out my loose skin and it's making me uncomfortable with people looking at my stomach lol.
How are you feeling? Sort of kind of less fatigued, but still tired. I think I've emotionally mellowed from my lack of sleep. Or have at least reached a stage of resigned acceptance. I'm either incredibly apathetic towards food, or starving. Not much of an in-between these days.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not really. Hoping to hear from my Makena pharmacy this week to get an idea of what we'll have to pay OoP.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Being a voluptuous pregnancy goddess. Also, finding out the sex so DH will finally talk names with me. He's under the impression that it will be easy, I'm not so sure.

How far along are you? 14w3d
Appointments coming up? Next Thursday, a check in with the NP. Nothing exciting, BP check and doppler I think.
How are you feeling? Okay, getting some awful sciatic pain and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any tips?
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? N/A
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) IDK, maybe picking a name and finishing the nursery. Having H and my son feel him move from the outside will be fun.
How far along are you? 14w 4d (is it weird that I need to look at the Ovia app every time to figure out the days)
Appointments coming up? I have a OB appointment on Thursday - nothing too exciting - just doppler and weight check, etc.
How are you feeling? For the most part I am feeling really good. I switch back and forth between short term constipation and diarrhea so that sucks but it happened last time too - my stomach just kind sucks in general The tiredness seems to be back these past few days but I attribute it to the weather more than anything else. It will be nice to be able to get outside some next week.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing here
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I want DS to understand what we mean we say that she's getting a baby sister...for the most part she refuses to acknowledge us LOL

How far along are you? 15 + 1
Appointments coming up? Not until next week. And it will be just a usual pee in cup, weight, doppler appt. I think I'll have my blood drawn too for the quad screen.
How are you feeling? I'm always exhausted on Mondays. I tend to be really active on the weekends (weekend warrior challenges on fitbit) and it takes its tool. But I am glad to be in better shape this pregnancy. I've been having headaches again too. Definitely related to the weather and not drinking enough water though I've been drinking a lot.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope lol.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Hmmm, probably feeling kicks on the outside of my belly. And then definitely giving birth! I don't like being pregnant and giving birth was my favorite part. My body was so happy to no longer be pregnant. DS was very active and my body was very much over it by 32 weeks or so. I'm hoping to skip the PTL this time around.
grumpycat88, I was just thinking about that this morning - how I hope that this baby isn't as big of a kicker as DD - she kicked so much - I felt like my stomach was bruised. The funny thing was that it didn't stop after birth - she kicked me for like the first year of her life.

peggels24 DS is still VERY active too. Like doesn't stop moving until he's asleep. I'm not sure I can handle two very very active kids lol. The movement got to the point of being painful too and got some light contractions started (I didn't notice them, but my OB wanted to be extra cautious). Fingers crossed for calmer babies!
peggels24 DS was the other way around, he was very calm in the womb, I only got kicked a handful amount of times a day he was a very 'smooth' mover if that makes sense. But my god as soon as he was out and realised he could stretch his legs and kick, that's all he done. I've got so many videos of him kicking out like he was running on this little newborn body it's adorable
grumpycat88 DS is also a very active toddler, I'm not looking forward being heavily pregnant and having to chase around a 2.5 year old 😔

beefinch my cousin had a baby a couple weeks before DS was born. We got them together when they were about a year old and I was AMAZED that she just sat in one place. Meanwhile DS was speed crawling over to get into the dishwasher lol. I was like ... how do you get her to do that?! My only saving grace is that DS is very chatty and listens to us 80% of the time. He will be 2.5 in July so we are in the same boat *insert hunger games gif here*
How are you feeling? I've had some nausea the last couple days but I'm feeling good for the most part.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Feeling consistent movement and the anatomy scan. We will get more serious about getting a nursery ready and picking a name once we know the sex.

DS was a very late walker, and at 1 he was still only sat in 1 spot! He didn't start crawling until he was around 14 months. Walked at 22 months lol! So I understand how she just stayed in one place 😂
How are you feeling? Better, but still terrible compared to most pregnant people. Lol. Trying to balance puking vs. constipation from zofran
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Baby was super active on ultrasound this week...I was having flashbacks to DS who was crazy in utero... And is crazy active on the outside too
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Can't wait to feel better and actually start getting excited about the baby.

How far along are you? 12 weeks 4 days
Appointments coming up? NT scan tomorrow, can't wait to see the babe
How are you feeling? Good. Still have issues getting up if I stay up too late.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? We told MIL yesterday and she freaked out for a good 2 hours lol
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Feeling movement. Although I think it will be awesome at first and then nerve wracking when I don't think I'm feeling enough.
Post by blabbermouth on May 15, 2017 11:18:48 GMT -5
How far along are you? 14+6
Appointments coming up? Just the second blood draw for my sips testing
How are you feeling? Pretty good. In some ways I have more energy, in some ways I'm more tired. Once I get going, I'm good, as soon as I stop or sit down I'm exhausted.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'm up 7 lbs already. So I hope it doesn't get too out of control. I guess if I only gain a lb a week until the end I'll still be within the recommendation.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I think making it to 20 weeks and finding out the sex (and that everything is ok up to that point at least). One of my SILs wants to throw me a sex reveal party, just for the family, so I guess I will let her. I suppose it'll be more exciting than the MW just telling me over the phone!
Post by grumpycat88 on May 15, 2017 11:39:54 GMT -5
laurensc927 you'll learn baby's patterns in utero. They do sleep so its normal to have periods of less movement And a small glass of OJ always gets them moving.

How are you feeling? I haven't been feeling good the last couple of days. Headaches, nauseated, exhausted, no motivation to do anything but lay on the couch. Second tri please hurry up!
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I have an ovarian cyst apparently and will be having a followup with the OB. Not really sure what that's going to entail.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Getting an actual belly instead of just looking fat.
Post by theiowagirl on May 15, 2017 13:06:03 GMT -5
How far along are you? 12 today!
Appointments coming up? In two weeks.
How are you feeling? Nausea seems to be letting up slightly. Food aversions still strong. I have a bit more energy, but then I overdo it and pay dearly.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Found the HB on the doppler at home. Strong and in the 170's.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Movement! I freaking love feeling the baby kick, move, wiggle in there.
Post by mariavontrapp on May 15, 2017 13:14:52 GMT -5
How far along are you? 13w, 1d
Appointments coming up? Nope!
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. No complaints!
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nada
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I am looking forward to actually looking pregnant, feeling baby move, and our anatomy scan!
How are you feeling? Tired and hungry. So so hungry all the time. I've been eating like crap lately so I'm trying to reign that in- need to eat healthier and exercise more.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I agree with feeling baby move and looking obviously pregnant. I'm also anxious to see whether or not I develop pre-e again, but I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to that.
Appointments coming up? Had one today for our NT and blood work. Baby was measuring 2 days ahead! Such a relief because early on it was measuring 2 days behind. Next one is in June.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I was pukey this weekend which was weird since with DS that all stopped around 11w but I've had way less than I did with him so I'll take it!
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I told my H about the nub theory and he kinda spiraled haha 😂 also found out that my placenta is posterior making it that more likely that I am in fact feeing little movements. Nothing consistent but definitely something!!!
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Feeling kicks from the outside.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? At the OB last week, she started asking things like if I've though about a birth classes or choosing a pediatrician. Um, no, I haven't. haha
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I'm looking forward to finding out the sex so we can talk names and maybe start to feel more connected to this baby. I also look forward to my H hopefully feeling kicks from the outside. I think it'll freak him out.
How are you feeling? Getting better. Nausea is subsiding and only gets bad if I don't eat enough or soon enough. I'm exhuasted but that probably has more to do with chasing a toddler.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Panorama results came back normal and it is another boy!!
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Actually looking pregnant. I have a belly but it could still pass as fat. My body kind of hates being pregnant so really I am looking forward to seeing how it handles it this time around. I love watching movement from the outside too.
Appointments coming up? Nope- I had one yesterday.
How are you feeling? Physically I'm okay. Occasional nausea and still tired. Mentally/emotionally everything sucks. I'm still a little numb (I'm not sure that's the right word) about the pregnancy. It's just a really hard time in my family right now. I'm going to try to be a little more active on this board and hope that helps me.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I had my 1st trimester US last week. Doc said the baby looked good. I also had all the 1st tri blood word done.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) I'd really like to know the gender... I have about another 10 days before I find out.
Post by fknhostile on May 16, 2017 10:51:25 GMT -5
How far along are you? 11w5d or 12w4d
Appointments coming up? NT scan Thursday
How are you feeling? Better. I've had some bad nausea and vomiting here and there but it's definitely letting up.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Baby seems to be finally catching up in size. So I will find out Thursday if theyre going to move my due date forward or not. I'm so happy since baby was measuring behind for so long.
QOTW: Do you have something that you are most looking forward to happening in this pregnancy? (apart from the obvious and giving birth!) Honestly, not much. I fucking hate being pregnant. I just want the baby.
Appointments coming up? Nooooooope, not until the end of the month.
How are you feeling? Big. I seriously look as big now as I did with DD at like 18w. Looks like I'll be carrying high too this time at this rate. Might have to bust out my body pillow sooner rather than later.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Just that we're team pink again.
QOTW: I'd say looking pregnant, but I for sure already do. I'll be happy when my whole bump is hard though. Right now it's only hard below my belly button. The rest still squishes.
