Hm, anyone I know who has been high risk concern for GD skips the one hour because it's basically useless for them.

Interesting. I was considered high risk last time because my mom has type 2 and I also got to do the 1 hour in first and third tri.

Must be one of those country/regional things. It's amazing how much the "standard of care" can vary.

Anyone have the intuition of the genders and are right? I may sound crazy but with the first two pregnancies it was right and this time I'm hoping it's not lol

I was so convinced I was having a boy. Even when I was proven completely wrong my brain kind of went, "But where's the penis?" Extra funny considering how stereotypically girl DD is now.

Of course, I don't learn, I'm already referring to this pregnancy as the "little guy."

heisenberg, How's the headache?

Better! Thanks so much for asking. I've been pounding water and allowing a little extra caffeine, and it seems to be doing the trick.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I just ate breakfast and I'm still starving. Lol. What the heck stomach?!

[heisenberg]

What do you think? #nailedit

Told my supervisor that I'm pregnant. I feel so relieved to have that behind me.

Brave! I'm waiting as long as possible. Definitely by Halloween though. I want to announce on social media.

I have assignments that might stretch into April, so I felt like I had to asap. Also, I'm tired of hiding my bump. 😏

[mustloveerica]

heisenberg I'm dying laughing at that picture. Too funny!

[ThankfulSnail]

heisenberg, we told most family members we were expecting by bringing DD in her "big sister" shirt and that was pretty much her reaction every. single. time. we put it on her. So I find your pic hysterical because I can sooooo relate.

[ourcrazynavylife]

We're going to the pumpkin patch this weekend and I'm so excited haha. I don't know who's more excited me or the toddler

[tygandre]

Fixed my latest problem yesterday, but it took going too far the other direction.

Now my abdomen is nice and empty so the nausea can ramp it up! Can't win, I swear.

Did feel a ripple across the front of tummy earlier though, very much felt like baby. I yelled for baby to settle down in there. I may be hallucinating it, but that's okay.

Anyone have unusual suggestions for settling nausea? Crackers, ginger... Stuff like that does not seem to have an effect on me, alas.

hpnegirl So sorry for your loss.

[ThankfulSnail]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, tygandre. I keep thinking I feel something, too, but I am too chubby pre-pregnancy for that to be real, I think.

[ourcrazynavylife]

tygandre not unusual. But have you tried lemon. With my first pregnancy I constantly sucked on hard lemon candies. I felt like that helped.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I've also read but not tried that snacking on an apple throughout the day (or apple juice/apple sauce) can help.

[heisenberg]

tygandre, with my first pregnancy, sour patch kids worked well.

[iqeb]

Distraction is the most helpful for me, tygandre. Like, if I'm lying down and happen to think about something that made me feel sick earlier, I can go from fine to puking in 60 seconds. But it's hard to not think about pink elephants, so podcasts, music, hanging out with people help me.

Lemon didn't work for me last time, but I could try again. Applesauce makes me feel gross, but I will definitely try an apple when I work tonight.

That tends to help me avoid puking. The actual nausea, not so much. Even on zofran (8mg 3/day), I have that heavy pit in my stomach. I don't really have any food aversions, or anything else, setting me off. Just constant nausea - sometimes less awful than others. Thanks though!

[ThankfulSnail]

I feel so blessed not to be dealing with nausea much at all this time. Big hugs to all who are dealing with it.

We said goodbye to L today; probably one of the hardest things I've had to do. While the service was religious based as expected, they didn't try to shy away from or hide what happened. Instead, the minister tried to address the stigma and brought up how she had been battling mental illness for ~15 years before this. I thought they handled it well and her parents aren't trying to hide what happened either. I'm so ready to go home though and try to get back to some form of normal

Sounds like a beautiful service. I'm again so sorry for what you're going through.

I'm so sorry hpnegirl

Sugarless Hard Peppermint Gum is my 100% nausea remedy tygandre. I know that's not unusual but just wanted to share. Something about chomping on the piece of gum and the initial juice just calms it down.

[onesweetworld]

I just made popcorn and yesterday I found two bottles of truffle oil. My favorite combination. I just ate in a trance.

[blondie]

I gave dh a blow job tonight and almost hurled. So that won't be on the table again any time soon. And with my pinched nerve I feel like I'm down for the count.
