Anyone get lightheaded upon standing? I've also noticed a few sharp pains in my lower abdomen, *I think* when I stand up too fast? They both go away quickly but wasn't sure if I should bring it up to the RE on Wed or if it's just the symptoms I got dealt.

I definitely get lightheaded if I get up too quickly. It's happened through all of my pregnancies.

The, what I suppose may be, lightning crotch pains are new and annoying, however. I feel like it's too early, but I also have no other way to describe the jolts and twinges around my lady garden.

How far along are you? 9w4d

How are you feeling? The nausea comes and goes but is getting better. Exhaustion is real though - I live for sleep LOL. And I do hate that I get out of breath so easily.

Any appointments this week. Nope - not until next Thursday

QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? The Chicago shows (Fire, Med and PD - I have Justice recorded but haven't watched yet) and DH and I watch Madam Secretary and Designated Survivor as soon as we can. We also record a ton of other stuff but those are the ones that we really care about right now

I will sometimes get lightheaded when I stand up, I have pretty low blood pressure so far though, like 98/66! MW isn't concerned, just said to hold onto something and stand up slowly. I also sometimes get pulled muscle type of feelings in my lower abdomen/stomach area when I move funny.

I get lightheaded if I get up too fast but I don't have sharp pains in my abdomen.

It might be round ligament pain. Lolol at lady garden.

How far along are you? 9w3d, but will find out for sure at dating ultrasound tmrw.

How are you feeling? Pretty crampy, which is very unnerving. Waves of nausea. Exhausted.

Any appointments this week? First one tomorrow 4/11! DH made fun of me for wanting to go to the pharmacy this afternoon to get more pee sticks so i can check before the appointment. Something about it being a waste of money because i've already had 100 positives. Seemed totally reasonable to me.

QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? Great British Bake Off @annperkins, I love it. It's so calming for a competition show. I like how they break up the baking with beautiful scenery shots.

Welcome, jules1614!

7w2d

Today i feel much better than i have. If i eat the second I wake up and then i have a coke I'm good. I have been getting really bad stomach aches after I eat though but today that seems to be better and now i worry of course lol. Im exhausted and feel so lazy.

nope, anxiously awaiting 4/21

not much of anything really, i love dancing with the stars, I've been watching 16 and pregnant on on demand lol and I'm excited for the bachelorette to start. Ive watch every season expect i didn't watch one single episode of Nicks season, can't stand him, so I'm ready to have it back in my life, as ridiculous as it is

How far along are you? 7w 4d



How are you feeling? Pretty ok. I work 12 hour shifts a few days a week so the day after work I feel like I have a massive hangover. Nausea, headache, exhausted. I hate waking up the morning after work.



Any appointments this week? First appt and u/s on Thursday!



QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? I don't watch much tv but we've watched Moana so. Many. Times. In the last few weeks. The kids would rather watch that over and over than a tv show.

[RoLoMa]

How far along are you? 8w3d


How are you feeling? Not great, not terrible. The awful, awful nausea I had seems to have let up a little which is nice. I am exhausted and smell everything (and fyi, everything stinks).


Any appointments this week? I had an ultrasound yesterday, measuring right on track and HB of 180!! I am officially graduated from the RE and now I wait until 5/5 to see my OB. I am so many feels about graduating. It was likely the last time we ever go to the RE and that makes me so sad but I am so glad he has been there to help us get our family.


QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? I love The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. We are also into Shameless, Schitt's Creek, and I am way engrossed in season 2 of The Man in the High Castle. I watch the reality stuff too...TM and TM2, Catfish, Survivor, and Amazing Race. I broke up with a lot of shows recently because I just don't have time anymore.

How are you feeling? Still tired all day every day. Food aversions have slightly calmed down.


Any appointments this week? Wednesday. For bloods, should be a quick in and out if my veins cooperate.


QOTW: What is your current TV obsession?
Keeping up with the Kardashians... don't judge me lol 😂

Hahaha, I love KUWTK! It's the perfect trashy tv show!

[Deleted]

How far along are you? Somewhere between 7 and 9 weeks.


How are you feeling? Nausea comes and goes in waves. When it comes, it's so bad I want to lay down and die. When it's gone, I feel decent I guess.


Any appointments this week? I had a MW appt today. She's concerned about the ultrasound I had in Emerg. She wants to try and get me in sooner than the 24th. She said the HR was a little low (98) and that there's potentially a cyst she wants to keep an eye on. She drew betas today and I will go Thursday to get them redrawn. She's not as concerned with numbers per se, she wants to see if theyre going up steadily or if theyre decreasing.


QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? I don't watch a ton of TV, but I really like Switched at Birth and The Fosters.

The lightheaded upon standing happens to me too. I just take my time and make sure if I'm laying down, I sit up for a minute or two first. Not sure if it's normal though.

This is happening to me too

[blabbermouth]

Good luck @snuff9861, I'm glad your MW is taking things seriously! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[lgraceh]

Congrats to graduating from the RE, RoLoMa!

[ash1727]

How far along are you?
10w3d






How are you feeling?
Terrible. Just terrible. I've caught a head cold of some sort, and have actually started to throw up. I've had more food aversion and loss of appetite more than nausea, but it hit me Sunday. Not sure if it's bug related though... I'm exhausted, and having to work 10 hours a day does not help. Thankfully, Spring Break is 3 days away and I can get a 10 day break!






Any appointments this week?
Not this week, but next Wednesday we have our 2nd ultrasound! My in-laws are coming from Africa to visit (they work for Chevron, not FROM Africa!) and get to see the baby. Yay!






QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? Keeping up with the Kardashians, lol! I just finished Vanderpump Rules and Real House Wives of Beverly Hills. These are literally my guilty pleasures after a long week of work!

I think I will need to watch the great British bake off.

I said this to H and he said we need to not gain weight so no lol.

Looking at bread is now a borderline sexual experience for me. So, yeah maybe don't watch if you don't want to develop similar feelings.

[peggels24]

@snuff9861, I'm glad that your MW is on top of things

[bethkate]

How are you feeling? Ok. Spotting is back to slightly brown-tinted CM, so that's making me feel better. FX it stops completely.

Any appointments this week? Friday with the OB. We're supposed to try the Doppler, so I'm a bit nervous about that. Well hopefully be able to schedule my NT scan too.

QOTW: What is your current TV obsession? I don't really have one right now...

[Deleted]

Ultrasound and appointment went great! Official due date is November 18, heartrate was 171bpm.
I'll be starting weekly progesterone shots between 16-20 weeks because of my history of preterm labor. Hurray...but hopefully I'll be able to keep this one in until at least 36 weeks.

I was waiting for the NP I saw Monday to tell me I would need those shots. She gave me a pretty hard stare after lead with "I see you had an emergency csection at 36 weeks..."

She did not, thankfully. While I hope this one cooks a but longer, I'll cry if I actually go to 40 weeks. I'm so terrible at pregnancy.

[laurensc927]

@annperkins do you have experience with the shots? If not I have some tips.

Ditto. They're not terrible, and once a week won't be bad.

I have zero experience. She mentioned that I could do them myself, but lol no. Needles ain't me. So, I'll be going to her office, which is pretty close to me. But if you have any tips or insight as to what I can expect, that would be greatly appreciated!

Is it progesterone in oil? Done intramuscular?

Ummm, I'm not really sure. She just said progesterone shots and I didn't probe further. I'm not great at asking in the moment medical questions.

Ok, my tips will be for that scenario, if yours is different then disregard lol. I found it best to warm the oil by holding the vial or syringe in my hand for 5-10 minutes, this will help the oil disperse, if you're going somewhere to do get them done maybe stick the vial between your boobs on the drive over.
If a medical professional is doing the shots they should​ get them in the right place lol. We didn't realize until this cycle that we weren't doing them high enough or far enough to the side. Being in the right spot makes a world of difference.
After I try to either walk around/on the treadmill or sit with the heating pad on the spot to help the oil move otherwise you end up with a knot under the skin which can be painful.

Bahahahahaha. Yeah. I'm plus sized as well and my target weight gain from my NP is 0-10lbs so.... actually going to get back to doing Whole30 with a slight mod to include some dairy.

Ooh I'd be interested in a whole 30, I've been eating like a teenage boy lately and need to reign it in.
