Upcoming appointments this week? First apt is wed. I'm guessing just some bloodwork... and hopefully she'll make an apt for an ultrasound in a week or so.

Any new symptoms or changes? Boobs are pretty sore. And I'm getting headachy today. I remember having a 3 day ugly headache at 6wks with my son.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing much. It's so early, I still pee on a wondfo once a day. I think I hit the max darkness so I should probably stop. Oh and I'm still temping. I think I'm paranoid of a temp drop. I should really put that away also lol. I need an intervention. Pgal brain is serious business.

GTKY: What gift(s) are you asking for this holiday season? I really don't know? My hubs been asking and I have no idea.

[easilyunamused]

@katerli, I was told meds for 10 weeks. What are you on? I'm taking my last pio shot tonight, which I'm very thankful for.

4 patches & 1ml PIO every other day. 3 progesterone suppositories & estrace daily. They want to wean me off so I am done by 9w4d

Well 9 weeks sounds good I think. I'll be happy to be off all of the meds. It's a lot to always remember. lol

[MissSally]

Yay! Thanks for starting this!!

How far along are you? 8w3d

How big is baby? pygmy seahorse

Upcoming appointments this week? None until the 15th... seems like forever!

Any new symptoms or changes? Still have the crazy morning/all day sickness. Diclegis has been my hero, even though I think I may be even more tired when I take it, at least I can keep down some foods. The belly seems to be ever-expanding also. Wearing loose-fitting shirts is getting more and more difficult. I cannot wait to just let the bump out in public! 4 weeks and counting...

Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing in particular. Just anxious for my next appointment.

GTKY: What gift(s) are you asking for this holiday season? I haven't really asked for anything. I'd love a snoogle. That is just about the only thing I can think of. More maternity clothes too... or gift cards since I'll be needing a whole new wardrobe come warm weather.

[mrscatfarmer13]

How far along are you? 5w 2d

How big is baby? As big as a dot snail

Upcoming appointments this week? None this week, first one is next Tuesday!

Any new symptoms or changes? I had a lot of bloat last week and a little nausea, but the past 3 days have been great.

Rants/Raves/Questions? For the STM+ do you think you have been less tired than you were in 1st tri with your first child? I was so exhausted by 5 weeks last time around and I've felt great so far. I'm wondering if the constant tiredness just hasn't hit yet or if I just don't notice it because I made it through sleep deprivation with a newborn, lol.

GTKY: What gift(s) are you asking for this holiday season?
I'm not asking for anything specific, just progress on home projects so we can put our house on the market soon

[amyface813]

How big is baby? A grape

Upcoming Appointments? Tomorrow!! (11/29)

New Symptoms? Not really. Still feeling queasy at times. I swear I'm feeling kicks which is just insane and can't be right.

Rants/Raves/Questions: I hate that there is nothing good on tv between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Give me my Grey's; Scandal; HTGAWM; and This is Us. I'm so bored.

QOTW: What gifts are you asking for this Christmas? No clue. There's nothing I really want. I have lots of needs - new food processor; new vacuum; my sunroom painted. But those are so boring and not fun at all.

[MrsRC88]

How big is baby? a poppyseed

Upcoming appointments this week? Not until the 21st

Any new symptoms or changes? Still feel like I'm getting my period half the time, nauseous the other half.

GTKY: What gift(s) are you asking for this holiday season? I have no idea! Seriously, no idea. I'd love an Apple Watch (the new one, Series 2).

This will be my third baby. I have been exhausted this pregnancy. But I also just got over bronchitis so I'm sure that had something to do with it. My motivation is super low.

[Tgrrl]

How far along are you? 6w6d

Any new symptoms or changes? Not really...so tired and the queasiness is lasting more throughout the day.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada
GTKY: My H gave me my iPad already. He was too excited to wait. Otherwise a fuzzy/make you melt because it's so soft robe and some bath bombs. Oh and my tyrant DD to return to her sweet, behaving self.

[toadandbuggie]

How far along are you? 8w

How big is baby? Wild strawberry. Ultrasound said 1.25cm

Upcoming appointments this week? This Monday

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing new but intense fatigue, bloating, wicked heart burn

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so ready for my energy levels to return. I want to go to bed at 7pm every night. I usually work out everyday and I can barely make it through ten minutes before I throw in the towel.

GTKY: What gift(s) are you asking for this holiday season?
Running shoes, and a new dishwasher, but I doubt that's going to happen!

[toadandbuggie]

bdblz I've been told a line is a line is a line. So try not to worry, though i know it is hard!

[toadandbuggie]

notelsie I was super excited to find out my EDD and it ended up being the same as my LMP. It's crazy how pregnancies are different - with my son I got a BFP the day I missed my period and my EDD was moved, with this one I got a BFP three days before a missed period so I was sure the EDD would be different. Strange!

Can you refresh my memory on the materniT 21 stats? How accurate is it on the results... of any problems AND the sex?
It's just blood work, right?

We were offered that or an amnio cause of the the nt results with our first.. but denied them. If it gets offered again, I'm debating if I want to do it.

It is blood work done after 10w. It tests for Downs, Tri 18, Turners, Klienfelters, XXX/XXY and a few others I believe. I don't know accuracy stats-the website doesn't provide percentages, only that there are maternal factors that can affect accuracy. I've never been offered with my other two and am excited to be able to do it this time.

I had a close friend who was due 3 weeks before me with DD1 and did not do any genetic testing. She found multiple fatal issues at her 20w scan and had to TFMR. I need to know.

Thank you!

I'm going to say it was probably a good thing you weren't offered it cause that means the dr didn't see any red flags.

We had a 1 in 20 chance of issues after our 12 wk tests, denied everything, then they rechecked me at 16 wks and it changed to 1 in 110. Luckily he was born with no issues.

Those results tore me up for 3 days and I swore I'd never do those tests again but who was I kidding? Of course I will.
