Pregnancy Check-In 9/19

[rosesquared]

What's up everyone? So excited to be joining you guys here!!!!

dannigirl and rikkiandjulie and anyone else?

I had my second beta today and I jumped from 246 to 1134 so I'm pretty psyched! First u/s on October 6! Soooo soon!!!! The physical changes happening are insane but I'm kinda obsessed with everything (in a good way lol). So far only mild food aversions and raging hunger at times... Hoping maybe my m/s won't be too bad or it just hasn't kicked in yet. I still have moments when I can't believe this is happening. I've dreamed of the day I'd be pg and now I am!!!!!! So crazy!

Rosesquared I am so happy you're joining us!

My morning sickness we so mild that I often worried something was wrong, it wasn't. However week 16 I threw up three times, the only times so far. I think I dodged a lot of it bc I took Unisom and B6 at night.

No too much happening here, I **think** I am getting a bump, but then again it could be the extra chub.

Absolutely NOTHING healthy sounds even remotely good. Every time I look at a salad I gag. A fresh vegetable, blech. Fruit, meh. The only thing that I want to eat are sub sandwiches and spicy chicken sandwiches. Hopefully, i start craving healthier foods soon.

I am 18wks today, and I think that occasionally I feel the baby kicking but I could be wrong.

My 20 week scan is 10/3, I can't believe we are almost 1/2 way. Seems kinda crazy!

My boobs itch nonstop, so does my belly. I should be better about applying lotion.

We are still team green and I can't wait for this next appointment to pass so I can tell people we won't get any more ultrasounds and they can stop asking if we changed our minds about finding out.

Maybe bump maybe chub

Do you use bio oil? I've heard that's amazing!!! (Not sure about itch but def for preventing stretch marks etc.) That's awesome you barely had any ms! And that's amazing you're already half way! Does it feel like time went fast or slow? Right now I feel like time is going soooo slow!

[rikkiandjulie]

Time went pretty fast for me, I mean at times it feels slow, but overall it feels kinda quick.

Things are good here.
I'm now 10 weeks tomorrow!
Morning sickness is still kicking my butt off and on. Yesterday was a really bad day. Today is good... Such a rollercoaster.
We found out that the military will pay for the Harmony blood test! Yay!!! So we are headed back to Saskatoon Monday and Aurora will be doing an ultrasound and blood work.
I'm nervous and hope everything is good with the baby. I'm trying not to stress too much over it though.
I haven't had any cravings, and only small aversions.. More smells and sounds make me feel sick than tastes.. It's weird.
Jo having coffee breath makes me want to vomit. lol
I found that our yesterday while we were waiting for our first prenatal appointment. Good times!!

Got a blood pressure check, it's high again. 3rd time in a row, so hypertension is the diagnosis. 😔 No medication as of yet. I got a Rx for socks. The heartbeat was 156 so that's cool that I got to hear it today. 😁Second reading today the BP was a little lower. 142/86 so I am just barely out of normal range. As pregnancy progresses they will monitor me more closely. But no one was worried about pre-e or anything as of now.
