Thanks for starting this. I would definitely check in weekly.
How far along are you? 7+1
Any upcoming appointments or tests? Repeat ultrasound in 1.5 weeks.
How are you feeling emotionally? I tried to make the u/s appointment make me feel much more confident in this pregnancy, but our loss stopped growing at 6+3 (which is when we saw this HB) so I keep telling myself we are not out of the woods yet.
How are you feeling physically? Okay. My kids passed along the stomach bug to me, but other than that, completely normal.
GTKY: Would you rather swim in a pool, a lake or the ocean? Pool. I like to see the bottom. We just spent the weekend at a lake and I only dipped my feet.
Okay, I am trying to make a little template for the future... how do you ladies feel about this? I kind of copy/pasted from other areas. Any other Q's you want in the check-in? Or other information? Are you cool with Friday check-in or shoot for a different day of the week?
Pregnant After Loss / Pregnant After Infertility (PGAL/PAIF) check-in is posted once a week (generally on Friday) for those of us who have unfortunately experienced a loss or a history of infertility and are now pregnant.
Out of respect to all the ladies here, please add a trigger warning or spoiler if you decide to talk about any living children.
My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c.
Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you. We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
Hope does not make bad things happen" You cannot jinx your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!
There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (God forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive"
I'm wondering if a Monday/Tuesday check-in would be better because of upcoming appts and such? Or leave it with Friday?
I personally would prefer a check-in earlier in the week. In addition to upcoming appointments, it seems like the board (all the boards, really) is pretty quiet Fri-Sun. But I'm ok with whatever the majority wants!

We can do a Monday one - that means we would start one again tomorrow which is kind of soon after this one, but that's alright.
By the way, ANYONE can make the check-in, it doesn't have to be me!
