Weeks/Due Date: 12w2d (4/1/17)

Baby's size: Plum

Updates/appointments? I had one this morning! The 12 week intake! Healthy little babe with a heartbeat of 145. I asked the doctor if he could see triploidy or other major issues by this point and he said in the majority of cases he would see something wrong if there were something wrong. He didn't see anything wrong! He didn't measure the fluid on the back of the baby's neck, but said he didn't need to because just from looking he didn't see any enlargement there. I'm hoping he knows his stuff because I really want to believe this is my rainbow! M17 ladies said it looks like a lion, hahaha! There was a cuter view where baby was waving its arms but alas, this is the photo we ended up with:



How are you feeling? Relieved and hopeful and scared of being hopeful today! Next appointment is Oct.17 for just a doppler/check in. I wish it was an ultrasound but I'll take it. I'm just glad he isn't making me wait 8 weeks until another appointment. I bought a onesie today - first real purchase I've made for this baby. It says "watch me grow!" which felt so appropriate for today.


GTKY: Who is your celebrity look-a-like? I've heard Jessica Alba.

[hpnegirl]

Yay! mosdub

You really should be having monthly apps from here until 3rd tri. I find it a little odd your doctor would normally make you go 8 weeks without a check up! I've never heard of that after 12 weeks

[iqeb]

10+3, 4/14 (for now)

First tri screening + generic pregnancy blood draw on Friday. Nt 10/3. Ob 10/21.

Still feeling super sick and now that I've been able to easily find the hb on Doppler I have no use for feeling like crap. Hoping to eat a vegetable again someday. Nursing is OK but my kid is eating for 45 min at a time sometimes which is unprecedented for her. But she's getting multiple letdowns and pulling off when milk is still dripping so idk, babies are weird.

Last time I had a checkup at 14 and then 24 weeks. A/s was in between of course, but that was just the ultrasound, they didn't check my BP or anything.

that can actually be really dangerous. There should be a Doppler check, urine dip, weight, and BP check every 4-5 weeks until 3rd tri

[ourcrazynavylife]

mosdub yahhh!! For good appt!! :heart:

[mosdub]

hpnegirl, I felt the worst between 8-10 weeks. I know it's all anecdotal, but you're close to the end (hopefully) with first tri crap.

mustloveerica good luck at the NT scan and with the announcements! I might tell my students after my october 17th doppler, but it all depends on how much I'm popping. I was originally hoping to wait until 20 weeks but it's so hard not to talk about!

onesweetworld PGAL brain sucks so hard. I'm sure everything is fine! I felt icky but never actually threw up. Just kind of like I was slightly hungover all the time. I had it again yesterday but the nausea and symptoms are falling off for me now. Can hardly wait for your appt.

ourcrazynavylife I'm so glad you're feeling good!

I didn't know - I guess last time I had an U/S at 10 weeks, a doppler at 15 and another U/S at 20.  I just wish the in-between appointment was an ultrasound not just doppler. 

[mustloveerica]

mosdub it's getting hard to hide these babies now. I can no longer button any of my pants. Although it looks more like I ate a huge lunch than babies. I figure if we go public at least people won't think I'm just rapidly getting fat.

Yeah, I meant to add that with the twinsies you probably hardly have a choice

8w1d

Baby is the size of a raspberry

Another ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday morning, then the RE will release me to the OB.

I rotate between feeling kind of gross to awful. I feel way more pregnant than I am.

Look alike: zero idea. No one has ever said I looked like anyone else

[sympkin]

11w4d

Brussel sprout.

Updates/appointments? Had my first prenatal chiropractic appointment this morning. Went well. NT scan and blood draw Wednesday.

How are you feeling? Amazingly well actually. Second day off the progesterone now and I am no longer constantly hungry or constantly exhausted. Hopefully this means things are looking up for second tri.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity look-a-like? If people look like me they don't become celebrities lol.

[financialdiva]

Weeks/Due Date: 10w0d, 4/17

Baby's size: legoman- which my kids are going to get a kick out of!

Updates/appointments? Not until 10/7. I did make my first baby purchase today! I scored some gender neutral aden and anais blankets half off at Target on clearance.

How are you feeling? I feel okay. I'm trying not to wish away time, but I'm ready for second tri.



GTKY: Who is your celebrity look-a-like? I hate to say this, but I've gotten I look like Audrey Hepburn more than a couple of times. I feel like she was wayyyyyy prettier than me, so I don't see it.

[onesweetworld]

what a beautiful baby lion mosdub!

[heisenberg]

Weeks/Due Date: 11+2/Apr. 8

Baby's size: I switched to pastries. It's a profiterole. Mmmmmm

Updates/appointments? Appointment on Friday! The wait between appointments is killing me.

How are you feeling? Last week I reported feeling great. It only lasted a couple of days. I'm tired and lightheaded and often nauseated. Hoping I'm close to the end of the yuck.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity look-a-like? Ummm no one? I'm a redhead so people always compare me to celebrity redheads who I look nothing like!

[LydiaDeetz]

12 + 1 / 4.2.17

2 ripe apricots

My next appointment is in a week. I'm anxious to see my twinkies and hopefully smaller/no SCHs.

Feeling ok. I don't feel like I have to yak all the time, but now I'm having lots and lots of RLP. It's more dull and lingering than sharp and short. Would BTDT moms say that's to be expected this early?

GTKY: I look like a chunky Leelee Sobieski. I've also been told I look like Jewel (when my hair was lighter).

[nic1231]

LydiaDeetz good luck at your appt, fingers crossed for the shrinking/disappearing sch. They found one on an ultrasound 3 wks ago for me too

mosdub love the ultrasound, glad to see you had a good appt

[nic1231]

Weeks/Due Date: 11+5 4-5-17

Baby's size:
Last day of two poker chips inside lol

Updates/appointments?
12wk appt weds!

How are you feeling?
Pretty good, still get tired a lot, feeling winded walking from my dept at work to my car. Nausea has subsided quite a bit. I do however feel like a house already lol


GTKY: Who is your celebrity look-a-like? I dunno, when I was younger my aunt always said Sandra bullock but I didn't see it lol

[LydiaDeetz]

Thanks and good luck to you too nic1231!

Omg!! I'm can't wait to be off of the progesterone!!! How much were you taking? This exhaustion is awful.

[babymama619]

LydiaDeetz I'm only 8 w in and I've been having RLP for a few weeks. I think it's to be expected especially with twins. I definitely had it around 12 w with just 1.

[lilmonk]

Weeks/Due Date: 9+1 - April 24

Baby's size: Grape!

Updates/appointments? Paperwork appointment with GP sometime next week. I need to decide if I want to go Public or Private. Public - everything is freeeeeeeeeeeeee but I don't get my choice of doctor. Private - my choice of OB but super expensive.

How are you feeling? Nausea comes and goes. I've had a cold that has knocked me around a bit. Lots of cramping though it's possible it's from constipation now.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity lookalike? Um. I just did one and it said Anna Paquin but that's a big fat no.

200mg daily. It really has made a huge difference. I am somehow sleeping less but I have about double the energy.

the MW said that id probably feel more cramping and feel it earlier than I did with DS solely because I've done it before. I've been cramping non-stop since 5w
