[iqeb]

11+3, 4/14 (for now)

NT next Monday. Ob 10/21. Pregnancy blood work came back fine (not anemic, yay!) but urine culture showed an asymptomatic uti. Not excited to go on antibiotics, but it's good they found it so it won't progress. Hb is easy to find on doppler now, which is nice.

Still dizzy and pukey. Still making milk.

No strong pumpkin spice feelings. Not sure I've ever had a psl, but pumpkin spice bagels are alright.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Weeks/Due Date: 10w5d / 4-19-17
Baby's size: Kumquat lol
Updates/appointments? Nope. 10/4 is the next appt
How are you feeling? Starving. Starving. Starving. Seriously I'm going to turn into a whale. I'm so GD hungry all the time.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate?

Pumpkin spice latte = evil incarnate

Other than that give me all the pumpkin!! lol

[LaRomana]

Weeks/Due Date: 10+6 (4/18)
Baby's size: lime (tomorrow)
Updates/appointments? NT next week, and will also get blood drawn for Panorama next week.
How are you feeling? Equal parts tired and hungry.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? Both? I like pumpkin flavored things but am sick of hearing about pumpkin all the time. Yesterday at the grocery store I saw pumpkin printed paper towels with a sign, "Try them while they last!"

iqeb, That's great that you can find baby's HB easily! Do you have your own doppler at home?
ourcrazynavylife, Yes, yes to all the food all the time.

[hpnegirl]

Weeks/Due Date: 9w1d- April 30th

Baby's size: canapé

Updates/appointments? None until 10/10 unless the MFM decides to call and see me prior. I'd already seen my MFM with DS by this point so I'm slightly annoyed

How are you feeling? Meh, I'm good until 2ish and then I hate life for the remainder of the day. My boobs grew from 32D to 32DDD in the past 5 weeks. 😳

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? Yuck. The only pumpkin thing I eat is salted pumpkin seeds. Everything else can go away

[ourcrazynavylife]

I want this in my mouth right meow!!

[financialdiva]

Weeks/Due Date: 11w, 4/17
Baby's size: Poker chip
Updates/appointments? None. Next ultrasound to check SCH and dr's appt is 10/7. Anxious for it to get here.
How are you feeling? Not bad but not great. Still tired. Still nauseous a little here and there, but that't because I'm still taking the meds. Hopefully I can wean off them soon.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? Meh, I like pumpkin coffee mate in my coffee (they make a natural bliss one now so I'm super excited about that). I also enjoy pumpkin bread and muffins. But I'm over the whole "team pumpkin all the things" vs "team I hate pumpkin and think down upon you if you like pumpkin". Why do people have such a strong opinion either way? Who friggen cares??

Yeah, sonaline B. I've been lucky in that I've been able to find the hb pretty easily with both pregnancies before 9 weeks. Otherwise I'm not sure I would like it so much. 

[ThankfulSnail]

Weeks/Due Date: 10w5d due 4/19
Baby's size: Kumquat
Updates/appointments? Next appointment is just a Doppler/meeting with doc at 12 weeks on 10/5. They're also doing my first glucose tolerance test early at that appointment due to my weight and family history.
How are you feeling? Not bad. Want to eat all the things. Except when I'm wearing too-tight pants, which more and more of them are getting to be, that's a pretty good appetite suppressant.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? I like quite a few pumpkin or pumpkin spice things- pumpkin pie, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin breads, muffins, cookies, etc.- but I don't think EVERYTHING needs to be pumpkin spice- oreos? m&ms? too much.

[iqeb]

Good luck with the GTT, ThankfulSnail. I had to take that damn test 3 times last pregnancy (although never the 3 hour, thankfully). Yuck.

[mosdub]

Yo April!

Weeks/EDD: 13w2d, Edd 4/1

Size: peach!

Updates/Appts: Doppler on the 17th but still waiting to hear if I can get it turned into an ultrasound

Feeling: great! I have some cramping but it's mild and I'm attributing it to growing ute and RPL?

GTKY: yum, but I'm not spazzy about it

[rowe]

Weeks/Due Date: 10w 5d / April 19

Baby's size: kumquat

Updates/appointments? Midwife appointment next week, NT Scan 10/11

How are you feeling? Better than the last few weeks definitely, but still nauseated for most of the day and more tired than I have ever been. Hoping this all ends in the next few weeks. I remember feeling awesome in my second trimester last time!

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate?
I do not drink coffee so I'm indifferent to the PSL. I did try a sip once and thought it was very sweet. Umm, otherwise I like pumpkin spice in pumpkin pie and that's about it.

[babymama619]

9w1d /April 30

Baby is the size of a cherry or green olive

I have my last appointment with the RE on Friday to get released to OB🎉

I'm feeling awful!! SOO freaking tired due to the prometrium I'm taking. Hoping RE will give me weaning instructions on Friday. Feeling bloated and unable to eat any quantity of food. Also, I miss pooping.

I enjoy pumpkin spice, but not lattes, or yogurt, or when it's with chocolate. Mainly in a pie where it belongs.

[ourcrazynavylife]

babymama619 fiber gummies and probiotics (my protein shake has them in it). Made a world of difference for me.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Now I want dis in my mowf

[nic1231]

Weeks/Due Date: 12+5, 4/5/16
Baby's size: 2 poker chips
Updates/appointments? Had 12 wk ultrasound, they are looking more like babies! Next appt 10/17/16
How are you feeling? Tired but pretty decent. Just have a pain in my butt now lol

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? Depends. I like the pumpkin cream cheese and the occasional snack but I think it has gone a bit overboard

[heisenberg]

Weeks/Due Date: 12+2/April 8
Baby's size: macaron
Updates/appointments? NT scan on Wednesday. Hopefully getting blood drawn for cell-free DNA too.
How are you feeling? Meh, tired of complaining.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: blehhhhhh, too sweet. Give me all the pumpkin beer though.

[lilmonk]

Weeks/Due Date: 10w+1/ April 24
Baby's size: cumquat
Updates/appointments? Just about to book in for my NT and possibly my Harmony test.
How are you feeling?: bit crampy again - possibly stretching pain?

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? Meh. Take it or leave it.

[fishchicks]

Weeks/Due Date: 12 + 2/4 9

Baby's size: Chicken nugget X 2

Updates/appointments? Had my CVS testing yesterday. I should get the preliminary results back today or tomorrow. Doctor said both babies looked great, and both NT measurements were under 1.5, so I'm optimistic.

How are you feeling? So tired of puking. This weekend was the worst yet. The constant nausea has faded, but I go straight from feeling fine to throwing up. Also, my labs came back showing I have Graves Disease. Bleh.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate? I was really enjoying gluten-free pumpkin spice muffins this weekend until they came back up on me. I might be over them after that.

[sympkin]

Weeks/Due Date: 12w5d April 6th. They just moved it up on me but I know I ovulated on cd15 so I think I'll keep it there.

Baby's size: Apricot

Updates/appointments? Midwife this morning. HB 150, so looking good.

How are you feeling? A little stressed. Everything is going well with the pregnancy but people are already freaking out about my platelets. No one cares any other time of my life but suddenly during pregnancy it's the end of the world.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice. I love pumpkin pie and PSLs. Although I agree they can be too sweet, I alway ask for only half the syrup. Things like pumpkin spice M&Ms kind of make me want to gag.

Understandable. I puked up orange soda when I was seven years old. I still cannot even smell the stuff without being completely grossed out.

[LaRomana]

babymama619, I highly recommend Miralax. I resisted taking any "meds" last time and it did not get any better, only worse.

TMI warming. I used that last time and a few times so far with this one, but then I end up in the bathroom with 1/20 of a movement 20 times per day. Hoping it's another side effect of the prometrium I'm about to ween off of. ...sigh.😞

[onesweetworld]

Weeks/Due Date: 11+3. 4/15

Baby's size: Lime. Brussel Sprout

Updates/appointments? Had an appointment today, it went well. Midwife told me that I had a perfect pelvis for child birth and could easily deliver a 9.5 lb baby. I told her I was 6.7 and would not like to deliver a 9.5 lb baby. She had a semi difficult time keeping the heartbeat as the baby was moving all over or was behind something. She did find it a few times and said it was in the 160 range.

How are you feeling? I feel okay. I'm really still upset with myself for taking Tylenol the other day but I had to. I know it's silly but I wanted to get through first tri med free because I was binge drinking the weekend before I got my BFP.

GTKY: Pumpkin spice: Yum or evil incarnate?

Give me the Dunkin Pumpkin any day. Everything else I can do without. Starbucks PSL is way too sweet.

[hpnegirl]

onesweetworld I was 7lb5oz, DH was 7lbs3oz. DS came out 8lb6oz, much to our shock (we were expecting a 6-7 pounder) so don't put much stock in the baby's weight being similar to yours! You should have heard our shock when they announced weight.

The only thing the three of us had similar is we were all born on a new moon and both DS and I straddle the zodiac sign cut offs

[lilmonk]

onesweetworld Let me tell you a story: DH was under 4lbs being about 8w early, I was 6lbs3oz about 4w early. DS was 9lbs7oz and only came because they had to induce me and do a ECS on my EDD. 😳 My siblings were all under 7lbs, DHs siblings were all under 7-7.5. I was told I had good birthing hips and pelvis, and nope. Still a Caesar because big head boy got stuck.

I just take opinions now with a grain of salt because on the day - whatever happens happens and you get through it. 😊

Ugh, hopefully it improves soon.
