How far along are you? 12w1d What is baby's size? A toy soldier Any appointments this week? NT scan on Wed How are you feeling? Tired of throwing up every day. And I wish something would sound good to eat. Still tired a lot, but better. Vents/Questions/Concerns: Just that the scan goes well QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Nope. But I'll usually buy some candy on clearance a few days later
therealbug I hope the spotting stops soon. What a mind fuck, even if you're getting the heartbeats with the doppler. @kelsz12 Good luck with the genetic results, I hope you get great news!

How far along are you? 13 weeks tomorrow
What is baby's size? A scoop of ice cream
Any appointments this week? Nope
How are you feeling? I finally slept somewhat decent last night. Yesterday morning I woke up with a headache and felt hung over, which completely wore me out and allowed me to fall into a deep sleep last night. I think I have pink eye, so that's been fun. Oh and DD has an ear infection so I'm keeping her home for snuggles and rest today.
Vents/Questions/Concerns:
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? We usually have a date night and exchange gifts. It's never anything too elaborate, but we like to do something special for each other.

How far along are you? 13 wks today
What is baby's size? Both babies are measuring a few days ahead at 13+3, 13+4. Double ice cream scoops
Any appointments this week? Today I had my NT scan. Both babies look great which is a huge relief.
How are you feeling? Great at the moment! Nausea is still kicking my ass though.
Vents/Questions/Concerns: QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? We both have the days off, so we're going to have a nice lunch and see a movie. Have dinner with DS at home. Keeping it low key this year We exchange small gifts.
How far along are you? 12w5d What is baby's size? Toy soldier Any appointments this week? NT scan and Cell free DNA test on Wednesday How are you feeling? Exhausted and the night time headaches need to go. I have to go to bed once I get them because I can't stand the pain. Vents/Questions/Concerns:N/A QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Well, DH and I just get each other cards but I celebrate at school because I teach in an elementary school.
How far along are you? 13 weeks Any appointments this week? NT scan today. How are you feeling? I'm OK. Vents/Questions/Concerns: I asked about the Panorama today and apparently I was supposed to get it after the last appointment, but we got sidetracked when we couldn't find the heartbeat. OB said she could order it or wait until the NT results came back. So, my insurance might not cover it now. I got it anyways, but I asked the Phlebologist how much it'd be. She looked it up.. $2,700. Now I wait for the bill.. QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? We get each other something. We work opposite shifts, so we won't see each other much.
bsouls call your Dr office and talk to them about how if insurance doesn't cover it - usually the lab will work with the patient and charge a reduced fee. Our test wasn't going to be covered by insurance so the genetic counselor included a note with my tests that told the lab that so they would charge me the discount rate of like $300 or whatever it ends up being.
Any appointments this week? Yess! Friday for early 1 hr GTT and quad screen
How are you feeling? Pressure and fullness in my abdomen. Uncomfortable and bloated
Vents/Questions/Concerns: hoping this feeling is normal. Also feel like I'm showing too much and gaining too much weight. My therapistand dietcian say I'm not but I'm still having issues w it
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Nope, dh doesn't like it and I don't care anymore lol
Any appointments this week? No, nothing till the end of the month
How are you feeling? Nauseous, nauseous, nauseous..I'm like a broken record!
Vents/Questions/Concerns: Oh, I just noticed this morning the veiny boobs have appeared in full force, how attractive! haha
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? We used to before the kiddo but nothing planned for tonite. I work from home on Tuesdays so just here with DD. Maybe MH will surprise me with a treat tonite. Either way, no biggie! We did go to dinner last week for the first time in forever so I guess we can call that our Valentine dinner.
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Nausea is gone for the most part. Still tired and exhausted though.
Vents/Questions/Concerns: My bump is an actual bump now, I'm excited. H went to rub my belly the other day and goes "holy crap, it's hard!" It's crazy how much earlier I'm showing this time compared to last time.
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Nope. But the last 2 years H has gotten me cards and chocolate from both him and DS, so I'm curious if I'll get something today.
P&R for me right now, sorry, but hope to come back later this week to tag properly! Also, sorry for the copy&paste from other check-ins.. I am just in to many check-ins maybe lol?!
How far along are you? 13w5d
What is baby's size? a hot jalapeno
Any appointments this week? Not this week but we had our NT scan last Tuesday 2/7, which went well and I loved seeing the little squish on the screen. ♥♥ We also finally got to hear the HB for the first time. Baby measuring right on track, all fingers&toes etc present, so all good! Unfortunately results of the combination test came back elevated risk, which really came as a bit of a blow after such a perfect U/S and NT scan (even if I had sort of expected to fall on the edge between fine and elevated risk simply cause I'm old, but still). From what I understand my PAPP-A level was quite low? But I'm not sure what that means. I've stayed away from Dr Google as I don't want to freak myself out. The Dr said that based on the U/S and nuchal fold measurements itself she wouldn't expect anything to be wrong, so that's something we hold on to. We were referred to do NIPT and I had BW done the next day, so now we wait. Results should be in February 21st or 22nd latest. Needless to say MH&I both have been feeling a bit out of sorts. We hope for the best but it is hard to not worry a little.
Also had our first real MFM appointment. We really feel taken seriously and well monitored and cared for by the team. Which is a nice change from some of the drs and REs we've dealt with over the past years! When we get closer to the 3rd trimester we will start making a plan for birth with the MFM team and my cardiologist. There's a small chance I may end up with a CS if my cardio deems vaginal delivery too strenous for the ticker, but hopefully it will behave during pregnancy and things will be just fine to deliver naturally. But if it is better to do a CS then I'm okay with it as well, at least we'll know in advance.
How are you feeling? Physically I think I'm over the worst of my nausea, I no longer need to take the meds on a daily base yay! Still deadtired though, and I seem to get headaches easier right now.. not sure whether that's a pregnancy thing or not but it's slightly annoying heh. My heart issues are acting up some more as well, but nothing to be worried about according to both the MFM as my cardiologist, so I won't worry and just keep an eye on things. Emotionally I'm feeling really teary these past couple days.. hormones, exhaustion, who knows.. I'm still feeling somewhat detached from this pregnancy, too, which worries me a little but hopefully once we get the all clear I will start feeling it more?
Vents/Questions/Concerns: Just hoping for our NIPT results to come back good.
muscari big ((hugs)) you know I just went through the same thing. I am sure it's just a stupid false positive only designed to increase anxiety. Fx for fast results
How far along are you? 13w according to LMP, 14w according to size at NT scan, I so desperately want to believe I'm in the second tri, but I think the baby is just big.
What is baby's size? Apparently the size of a 14 weeker.
Any appointments this week? Pre-natal visit a week from today, followed by meeting a new contractor for an estimate for the next round of fixes to our fixer. I'm feeling more optimistic about staying here if we can get this next round of work done. I'm clearly way more excited about that appointment than a 15 minute BP/weight/HP check. But I'm seeing one of the OBs from the practice this time and I have very mixed feelings about that. I'm judging him solely off his bio blurb and the link to a research paper of his, and the fact that he's not a midwife. It's unfair, but it is what it is. I hope it's alright. It's just a short appointment.
How are you feeling? Sometimes I think I'm feeling better. Then it all comes rushing back at me. I almost didn't have a cold for a few days, but I had a tickle in my throat last night and woke up with a nice husky porn star voice this morning. I hope I have a real voice by the time I'm conducting orchestra this afternoon.
Vents/Questions/Concerns: My 5th grade class outed me on Monday. I have to tell the school sooner than I'd like to prevent rumors.
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Nope, we're lame like that. Also, I'm worthless by the end of the day. So today, MH is going to do the kids' school drop offs. Then we're going to work on his goal of seeing how quickly he can recover from one sexing to get it done again.
Any appointments this week? We had our NT scan Monday which came back great. So relieved about that! I always worry myself. The baby was measuring great. I have my regular 13 week appointment with midwife Friday.
How are you feeling? I am feeling okay. The morning sickness seems to be flaring during the late afternoon, so I am hoping it's on its way to being gone. Other than that, just exhausted- I don't sleep well and chasing a toddler around all day is killer!
Vents/Questions/Concerns: the only thing that did come up during the NT scan is that I have a cyst on my ovary. The tech said it is pretty common. I did a little research, but figured during my appointment on Friday I'll bring it up in case my midwife doesn't.
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Yes and no. My husband and I feel you don't need a day to show you love each other, but we do get each other cards and candy! Although, this Valentine's Day I spent the night in the Urgent care with my husband. He was is so much pain from his back. It ended up being back spasms, which is better than something serious. He never complains about anything, so I knew it was bad.
Appointments this week? We had our NT scan and appointment yesterday. It came back extremely low risk and everything looks great. I did ask the dr to switch my anti-nausea meds so I started the new one last night.
How are you feeling? I'm still pretty miserable, but in my last 2 pregnancies I've been sick until the 3rd trimester so nothing new.
Vents/questions/concerns? Nope
QOTD- My husband made us steak, asparagus, and twice baked potatoes. He also bought me flowers and chocolate covered strawberries

yoshijo28, no, still have spotting. I had another bleeding episode on Monday night. My OB had me come in for an u/s the next day. Both were measuring on track and looked good.
The tech did find a small SCH so that may have been the culprit behind the two bleeds and the continued spotting. I also have a couple fibroids and those can cause spotting. Right now, the OB is not concerned as long as I don't have increased cramping or heavy bleeding.

How far along are you? What is baby's size? A peach Any appointments this week? First OB appointment on Friday How are you feeling? Still nauseous but not as tired which is nice Vents/Questions/Concerns: I would be happy to not always look like a ate one too many sandwiches lol. I hate this part right before I 'pop' QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? We try to keep it small. A and I made a Valentines gift for DH
How far along are you? 13 weeks What is baby's size? A clownfish Any appointments this week? Nope How are you feeling? I think the morning (all day) sickness is subsiding... fingers crossed. Vents/Questions/Concerns: My 2 year old has been fighting naps which ruins my chance for a midday snooze. Rude. QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Nothing crazy, we got each other cards and a little candy.

What is baby's size? A jalapeno
Any appointments this week? Had the NT scan on Tuesday, thankfully all went well! The baby was moving around like crazy! My DD definitely did not move hardly at all when we had her NT scan, so that was really fun to see. In think it made me connect to this baby more too, which is nice.
How are you feeling? Feeding good, really can't complain! Except for the daily afternoon headaches. That's getting old.
Vents/Questions/Concerns: I asked my doctor about a gentle c-section, and she was all for it. So that was great news!
QOTW: Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Not really. MH and I agreed that we wouldn't do anything, but after our OB appt he came home with a balloon and stuffed animal for our DD and a card, flowers and pizza. Score!
