Thank you for the check in! Just getting over the flu (blah) but luckily DH has been my full time nurse and I'm quickly on the mend.

On a more positive note, DH has finally felt baby kick and it's amazing to see him excited.

Best part of pregnancy: ultrasound, kicks, love

Worst part of pregnancy: anxiety, hyperemesis, migraines

ihatepizza, Glad you're feeling better. That's so awesome that your H can feel kicks! I still only feel flutters myself.

We have our anatomy scan on Tuesday morning which I'm both excited and nervous for. The OB reviews the results and then sends me a message letting me know if everything is okay so hopefully I don't have to wait too long for results.

Best part of pregnancy: being pregnant, love
Worst part of pregnancy: anxiety, food/drink limitations

teachermomtobe it is so weird how one day you feel flutters then like two days later you feel full fledge kicks.

Hello Everyone!
Today I am officially HALF BAKED! I'm 20 weeks. I feel like time is flying by. I have officially started to purchase a few baby items. I said I would after my anatomy scan. I also plan on telling my dean I am pregnant before the spring semester starts. He seems to have some big plans for this summer, but I have a bigger plan! Lol!

Best part of pregnancy: ultrasound scans, kicks are getting stronger and more consistent (I don't need my Doppler anymore) and DH's excitement.

Worst part of pregnancy: constipation, not having a bump yet and worrying about going into preterm labor.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my triplet boys. Everyone was looking great at our last check up on Thursday. 2 weeks until v-day, I'm hoping my anxiety calms down once I hit that milestone. I was the same way with DD as I got closer to v-day. I have started to crochet some baby hats (2 are done). I want to make one more (for baby c) & then a different style one for DD.

Best parts of pregnancy: kicks, ultrasounds, baby clothes
Worst parts of pregnancy: puking, tired, achy

I'm 22w4d and was told my cervix is "beautiful" by my high risk doctor today. We went back for a few pics today - girl's heart, boy's right ankle, and a cervix check. My next appointment is Thursday with the ob (boring) and then next week for another growth scan. Boy's feet are nestled squarely in my ribs, which gets painful every now and then. It was fun to see him and his feet on the u/s right where the pain has been.

Best parts of pregnancy: overall feeling good

Worst parts of pregnancy: tired, little exercise

@katerli, I'm glad your doctor is letting you come in weekly until you pass your loss milestone.
