How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Any appointments this week?

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live?

[grumpycat88]

How far along are you? 8 weeks

How are you feeling? Better ... which definitely makes me think I'm closer to 9/10 weeks. I may technically be due in October, but you ladies are stuck with me.

Any appointments this week? Thursday! We will find out when I'm due

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I really like the food/restaurant choice in the city near me. We live in the suburbs but we lived downtown for 3 years before we moved. There are also tons of parks and free stuff to do. Leslie Knope would be proud.

[bethkate]

How far along are you? 8w1d

How are you feeling? Mostly ok. Nausea comes and goes but hasn't been bad. I'm still falling asleep on the couch by 8pm most nights.

Any appointments this week? I actually have 3, so I'm a bit stressed about figuring that out with work. I'm getting blood drawn at my hematologist Wednesday to see that my lovenox dosage is still ok. Then I've got an u/s at my ob Thursday, and blood work at my RE on Friday to check estrogen and progesterone.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I'm pretty much equidistant from Boston and Cape Cod, so it's like the best of both worlds.

[bethkate]

grumpycat88, GL Thursday!

[fknhostile]

How far along are you? 5+1

How are you feeling? Absolutely fine. Still early.

Any appointments this week? Waiting for the results of my beta draw. Most likely an US this week or next depending on the numbers.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I'm in the suburbs but 20mins from the city. And 20 mins away from Lake Ontario. It's also a canal town with lots of history.

[fknhostile]

grumpycat88 Good luck on Thursday!

bethkate I hope everything works out with your appointments and work!

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you feeling? Blehhhhh

Any appointments this week? I have an ultrasound Tuesday to check the heartbeat.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? There are a lot of new and exciting things developing in our area. It's a nice mixture of old and new.

I'm ok. Physical symptoms are still on and off. Emotionally I've been feeling very anxious. My appointment is still two weeks away and I'm so nervous not knowing what's going on.

No appointments for me this week.

I love have four very distinct seasons!

Thanks! I'm actually hoping that I can maybe move my hematologist appointment to Thursday. It's super close to my OB, so if I can get in there around 2, that should leave me plenty of time to get to my ultrasound at 2:50 and only have to take roughly 2 hours out of work on one day rather than splitting it up over two days.  Really, I'm most concerned about my coworkers starting to question all of the time I've been taking off lately for appointments. 

[bethkate]

fknhostile, When do you expect your results?
@annperkins, GL on Tuesday!
@jj32, I hear you about the tiredness leading to feeling sort of depressed. I spend most of my weekends on the couch lately, and that's pretty depressing, but I have no desire to do much of anything.
cnf2013, boo for having to wait two more weeks!

[fknhostile]

bethkate hopefully tomorrow. I don't want to go in too early for a scan and not see anything but at the same time I'm anxious AF to make sure everything is ok. I'm sure they can move your appointments around if you tell them what's going on. Hopefully your coworkers can mind their own business in the meantime 😉

[pootsen]

How far along are you? 7w exactly

How are you feeling? Okay - some nausea here and there, some exhaustion but that's mostly from not sleeping well.

Any appointments this week? No

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I like that we have 4 distinct seasons, although the Winter can get long sometimes.

[bethkate]

fknhostile, I hear you about feeling conflicted about an early u/s. Mine was at 6w5d which felt like an eternity since I got my BFP at 3w2d, but I guess it was better than having a super early one and still sort of being in limbo.

[amadine23]

How far along are you? 5w3d

How are you feeling? My nausea has been steadily progressing and last night I almost threw up brushing my teeth.....but then this morning I woke up feeling almost normal. I really hope it's not a bad sign. Early pregnancy is such a mind-f.

Any appointments this week? not until the following week

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live?
There are a ton of young families in our area, which means there are lots of kid-friendly things to do!

[theloveparade]

How far along ? 4 w + 4d

How are you feeling? Fine except for being tired and falling asleep super early on the couch every night. Still early though. 😬

Any appointments this week? Nothing till April 17, unfortunately. Anxious for that first US.

QOTW: I love so much about where I live. I'll go with living by the beach...and also incredible diversity of people and FOOD!

[kariann12]

How far along are you? 7w2d

How are you feeling? Ok. Nausea is creeping in, especially in the morning or when I get hungry. Exhausted all the time. I slept over 12 hrs each of the last two nights. Still having spotting, which is still a bit worrisome, but my doc seems less concerned so I'm trying to not freak out about it.

Any appointments this week? Nope, the following week.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? All the seasons except winter.

[beefinch]

How far along are you? 8 weeks today

How are you feeling? Tired AF, food aversions to the max (have lost weight, which isn't a bad thing lol) and dry heaving loads, with nausea only when hungry.

Any appointments this week? My first is 4th April, really looking forward to it. Loved midwife appts with DS.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? The views. I live in Cornwall in the U.K., it's a major hot spot for the scenery. I'm a country girl, I get very claustrophobic in cities.

[strangedesign]

How far along are you? 6w 3d

How are you feeling? Fine. Sofa king tired.

Any appointments this week? No, I'll go in at 10 weeks

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I love almost everything about where I live. We make great beer, I couldn't live without mountains, it's a wonderful place to raise kids. Winter could be shorter.

[esgrunner]

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you feeling? Still good, pregnancy-wise. Freaking exhausted, but that is to be expected. I have a crappy cold now so I'm taking tomorrow off work to get some extra rest, I'm not going to push through it this time like I normally would. I want to give my body the time to recuperate. 

Any appointments this week? Not until 4/10

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I live in a small town in the Chesapeake Bay region. I love all the rivers and the Bay, which contribute to the local culture. I also like that we are close to the beach but also Washington DC. 

[jax1182014]

How far along are you? 7w5d
How are you feeling? Crappy
Any appts this week? Nope
QOTW: I love how we have 4 seasons are the usually just long enough that when you get sick of it, it's time for the next season.

[spacedcadet]

How far along are you? 5w3d

How are you feeling? Not terrible. A bit of nausea here and there but not unmanageable so far

Any appointments this week? No

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? Traffic isn't terrible and everything you need is pretty close by.

[blabbermouth]

How far along are you? 7w5d

How are you feeling? Mostly good, a bit nauseous last night and a bit of dizziness this morning, and tired since I had an hour and a half nap

Any appointments this week? Ultrasound #2 on Wednesday at 8w1d!

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? The ocean and the mountains

[Deleted]

How far along are you? 6.5 ish weeks

How are you feeling? Other than nausea 24/7 (no vomiting) I have a super delightful stomach virus so I feel just this side of death.

Any appointments this week? Nope not til April 11th (DD will be exactly 6 months).

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? Talk to me again when the damn snow melts.

[Rogue]

Just in case, I will check in.

I'm 5weeks 3 days due nov 23 but because of the diabetes will be induced no later than 39 weeks.

I have appointments with the midwife/obgyn first on weds. I called to ask what tests they wanted run ahead of time (beta,any sugars tests) to discuss at appointment and nurse's response was "if we need to test for anything it will be discussed at your appointment" blah. I have endocrinologist appointment after that. I have already done the tests they requested.

My only symptom is maybe spotting. I can't tell if I'm just so in denial I'm expecting a period 2 weeks late. I also don't have my pre period symptoms either which is great. I am so in denial that I told SO that it could be a cyst or something else. I was in denial I had a successful pregnancy with our first for about 4 months after he was born.

My favorite thing here is that we can year round garden.

[flazz]

How far along are you? 7W5D

How are you feeling? Umm, Ok... Sometimes I feel a bit sick and have a couple of symptoms and sometimes I am completely fine. 

Any appointments this week? Yep, I have my initial appointment with the midwife on Friday the 31st (up till now I have been with my RE)

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I can experience all four seasons!

[RoLoMa]

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you feeling? Nausea started full force today. I'm also exhausted beyond belief.

Any appointments this week? Ultrasound tomorrow

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I live in a smaller city that is trying really hard to be super hip so we have a ton of great restaurants and festivals and such but still get that small city feel.

[peggels24]

How far along are you? 7w 4d

How are you feeling? Meh. I still have waves of nausea but I think I've come to accept them better. So far, no actual vomiting which makes me very very happy. TMI: I do have diarrhea fairly often and I'm not happy with that but it's better than vomit. I'm very lazy and tired but I guess that is to be expected - at least DH has been amazing.

Any appointments this week? No appointments until 04/20

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I think the people are my favorite thing about where I live - I live in a major city but in a part of it where everyone knows each other - or at least knows someone you know.

[mariavontrapp]

How far along are you? 6w1d

How are you feeling? One day I feel terrible, the next day I feel great. It is very off and on.

Any appointments this week? Ultrasound isn't until next Friday.

QOTW: What's your favorite thing about the region where you live? I'm from New Orleans, so the food

[laurensc927]

How far along are you? 5w 5d

How are you feeling? Pretty good, a little more tired than usual and my boobs are sore. I had some spotting over the weekend, trying not to let my thoughts spiral on that one.

Any appointments this week? No, u/s next Monday.

QOTW: I'm 10 minutes from the beach, I love being so close to the ocean.

[peggels24]

laurensc927, fx that the spotting is nothing.
