How many weeks are you? 15 weeks tomorrow!
Symptoms? Peeing. All. Night. Long.
Upcoming appts? Not until the 21st for regular OB check-up. Anxious to get her insights on my specialist consults! I hope she does not refer me to HR mostly because I lurve her.
Rants/Raves? I feel like a blimp!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Favorite thing: I feel like I am myself again after 2 years of being in the dark. I still have dark moments, but MH still says he sees my spark again. Most looking forward to being a mom and soaking in as much of this sweet little baby as I can! Also, margaritas.
Symptoms? I've been a super-bitch, I'm going to go ahead and blame it on pregnancy.
Upcoming appts? Next week sometime.
Rants/Raves? Please call with the results of the genetic testing, Doctor's office, please!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? So far, not having a period is pretty great Immediately postpartum, I remember the feeling of my body being evacuated after birth and it was such a relief. Kind of like being claustrophobic, then stepping out into a wide open space. Oh, and holding my baby will be nice too.
Symptoms? Same: exhausted and nausea hits me almost every afternoon/evening. And definitely tummy issues. Not quite constipated but not quite regular. Ugh.
Upcoming appts? Jan 13 for a regular appt
Rants/Raves? The Steelers are in the playoffs and Bachelor starts tonight! Makes this Monday A-Ok for me!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? So I've said this before: I don't enjoy much about pregnancy nor did I really enjoy the early months postpartum, but I'm trying to be more positive this time around. Pregnancy: I'm looking forward to having a cute bump and actually looking pregnant, not just like I overindulged. And postpartum: I cannot wait to have a squishy baby sleeping in my arms and DS next to me on the couch while watching the Olympics! Top that off with a beer and it's a pretty good summer day!
Symptoms?nothing at the moment except bloat and mild fatigue. No nausea for 3 days now..FX it's gone for good.
Upcoming appts? January 20th reg ob check up
Rants/Raves? Not at the moment
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum?
I love lie in bed and feel baby kicks. That will be fun when it starts. Looking forward to that moment of relief after screaming "GET THIS THING OUT OF ME!" 200 times. Fond memories.
Symptoms? Some mild heartburn after I eat/at night. PEEING.
Upcoming appts? This Thursday. Just a regular appt but we'll get to hear the heartbeat for the first time!
Rants/Raves? I am ridiculously excited to hear our baby for the first time. Also, house is going back on the market in a couple weeks. So blah to keeping it show ready but wahoo!! And Fx it sells quickly.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum?
This is my first pregnancy. So far I love seeing my bitty bump and putting my hand on it and writing to the baby. I'm also looking forward to Maternity shopping and hanging out with my BFF. post-partum I am REALLY looking forward to an ice cold beer.
ETA: oh, and not having to go back to the hell-hole aka work for a year lol. Hopefully I can transfer before my mat leave is up.

How many weeks are you? 11w2d
Symptoms? Heartburn.
Upcoming appts? My first appointment is this week.....finally!
Rants/Raves? I made the mistake of letting DD stay up late and sleep in every night/morning for two weeks. Now we have to get back to preschool schedule, and I am kicking myself for it!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? With my first, the only thing I loved about pregnancy was feeling her move, and not having to share her with anyone else. So I am really looking forward to the movements during this pregnancy. Post partum, I am looking forward to not feeling huge and not waddling.

How many weeks are you? 10w4d
Symptoms? All the symptoms! But they are lessening in intensity
Upcoming appts? on Thursday
Rants/Raves? Rant: I had seven vials of blood drawn today. I don't recall nearly that many for DD. It was unpleasant. Rave: maternity pants with a full panel are like angels singing. I don't really need them yet but actually I do. They're amazing.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? I like my pregnant body with a bump. I hope I do again are. And my hair and nails are so healthy and long. Not much else. I'm not a happy pregnant lady.
What are you most looking forward to post partum? Meeting this kid. I do love falling in love. I also look forward to not having the first timer anxiety I had before. And beer.
Symptoms? RLP is gonna be the death of me. My hip joints keep popping. Out of three pregnancies this has been three worst pain.
Upcoming appts? Next Wednesday standard appt.
Rants/Raves?
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? Honestly, pregnancy isn't my fave. I'm so anxiety ridden and just a mess, but I'm happy to be in second tri. What are you most looking forward to post partum?
I think I'll have a much cooler head this go around. I had baby blues badly and was so anxious with my daughter. Also I'm excited to try cloth diapering. I think it'll be a good fit for my family.

Symptoms? Thankfully, the fatigue seems to have passed leaving me symptom free for now. I'm just waiting for the sciatica to kick in.
Upcoming appts? I have blood draw on 1/7 and my next appt is 1/21.
Rants/Raves? I HATE being sick and pregnant. Of course, I would take DD to the pediatrician and then I would get sick. I would murder someone to safely take some hardcore cold and flu medicine.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Unfortunately, I don't really enjoy anything about being pregnant. Pregnancy is not one of those fun things for me even though I don't suffer the worst symptoms. I look forward to booze post partum, and having a little squeaky newborn. But... also, booze.

How many weeks are you? 12 weeks, 2 days!
Symptoms? Excited my fatigue is starting to go away. No real symptoms.
Upcoming appts? Jan 18 is my NT scan and waiting on genetic testing. The embryo we transferred was chromosomally normal so I'm assuming all is well.
Rants/Raves? None this week. Work is super slow so this week will be like another vacation week.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum?
So far, aside from the infertility shit, I've felt great this pregnancy and can't wait for little man to start kicking me! Post partum...I'm excited to just chill on the couch cuddling my little man and drinking gin and tonics again!
Symptoms? Still queasy and gaggy on and off, tired, reflux, new today - headaches! Yay. Also I think my belly is in that awkward is she pregnant or just getting fat stage.
Upcoming appts? Wednesday - regular pee in a cup, measure the belly, listen to the heartbeat appointment
Rants/Raves? Tired of feeling bad most of the time
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? I like not having to worry about how my belly looks cuz it's supposed to stick out, and bring on the kicks and rolls.
PP: I can't wait to eat. Food still sounds gross, but I remember how glorious it was to no longer have a baby squishing my stomach, plus nursing, and eating allllll the food. My food minded husband ordered dinner before my c-section because the kitchen would be closed after. I downed that turkey wrap like it was the greatest thing ever.
Symptoms? fatigue, nausea in the morning and evening and heartburn. I was lucky enough to escape all of this with DD so this is new and it sucks.
Upcoming appts? regular appt. January 15. First time I will meet with the OB. We will be discussing the possibility of a VBAC and I have a feeling they will try to sway me from it. Anyone have any good resources? I have done some research but I still feel unprepared to discuss it.
Rants/Raves? DD gets tubes in her ears tomorrow and I am trying not to think about it. I'm stressed.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Last time I loved being pregnant, so I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting back to that after all this junk goes away. Favorite part is baby kicks! I am most looking forward to large margaritas post partum...and the baby.

roccobabyk I'm sorry you are stressed and anxious about the tubes but it's a really quick procedure and she will probably be back to normal by the next day. She will just be really sleepy after the procedure. I've had over 10 sets of tubes in my ears (I'm not a normal case lol).

Oh jeez, that's a lot! And thank you! I always overthink things and make myself so anxious so I try not to think about it. Luckily it's early in the morning and I'm so hoping it fixes everything! She's had 6 ear infections in the past 4 months.

It should really help! At the very least if she gets another one you can just use topical ear drops as it gets through to ear drum instead of oral antibiotics. Popsicles or ice cream for your little one tomorrow!

How many weeks are you? 12w4d
Symptoms? Ive been weepy. Otherwise no real symptoms above the cold I have
Upcoming appts? Next week 1/14.
Rants/Raves? None really
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Baby kicks are nice and the second trimester glory, before I feel super huge. Postpartum enjoying being just myself again no baby inside, I remember a huge weight literally lifted off of me after DD was out. And of Course beer all the beer.
Ray, I've totally downed some serious hotdogs. However, my OB routinely tells me to just eat all the things because we live in 'Merica. Except for things high in mercury, that's apparently his only line.

+1. I think the hot dog thing has to do with nitrates but I have been eating them once a week without a second thought. Now that it's been mentioned, I think chili cheese dogs are on the menu for tomorrow.
Rant: was in hospital Sunday due to dehydration. Feeling better now!
Rave: I struggle with bladder infections and I've made it this far without one. This is the longest I've gone without one in a year and a half. So happy
GTKY: pregnancy is pretty tough on me but I do enjoy the slower pace it forces me to take. I'm looking forward to everything after the baby is here. No more being pregnant, cuddling a baby and wine.
Symptoms? RLP is gonna be the death of me. My hip joints keep popping. Out of three pregnancies this has been three worst pain.
Upcoming appts? Next Wednesday standard appt.
Rants/Raves?

+1 for cloth diapers. It's great and really not as overwhelming/gross as it may seem initially.

How many weeks are you? 10w 2d
Symptoms? Nausea comes and goes, constipation, exhaustion, heartburn, and my scalp and skin are going crazy. I had to buy head and shoulders shampoo today because I now have terrible dandruff!
Upcoming appts? I have my "confirmation" appointment at my OB's office this Thursday. I will be treating it like a regular appt though.
Rants/Raves? I found the HB with my doppler on Saturday and again today! I have officially passed my last loss milestone!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? My favorite thing about being pregnant so far is having a legitimate excuse for going to bed at 8pm most nights. I am looking forward to my big glass of wine post partum
ETA: of course I am also looking forward to holing and loving this LO after they arrive!
Symptoms? I actually feel pretty normal except for the sore boobs. It's messing with my head.
Upcoming appts? The 19th.
Rants/Raves? We finally told our daughter and parents. I didn't want to. Imma huge freak or something, but it STILL feels like it can't possibly be real and I'm making it up. The lack of symptoms compared to last pregnancy is not helping.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Feeling baby kicks and hiccups. My daughter was so strong and so active in utero.
Postpartum, looking forward to doing everything again and hopefully being less stressed and enjoying it more this time around. And never TTC again. F that.
Post by housecarder on Jan 4, 2016 23:58:52 GMT -5
How many weeks are you? 13 weeks 5 days
Symptoms? Still puking.
Upcoming appts? 1/15 for ultrasound and hopefully see my OB and not one of her nurses.
Rants/Raves? I was talking about being pregnant and a coworker says "You're pregnant?!" I said "yeah" and pointed to my stomach. Her response was "I just thought that was fat". So I guess my cute bump is still looking pretty blump to others.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about being pregnant? What are you most looking forward to post partum? Def kicks and movements. I am looking forward to not feeling like shit all the time and having my body back without restrictions. And holding the girls of course.
