Any upcoming/recent appointments?  Finally, first midwife appt on Tues.  Hoping to hear a heartbeat, not looking forward to seeing the scale

GTKY Do you speak any other languages?  Any you'd like to pick up?   Studied French and Latin in high school, Japanese in college.  Can get by in French, but Not fluent in any of it:(

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 8 weeks, raspberry

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Worse. I knew it was too early to be feeling that good. Nausea comes and goes and I'm exhausted around 6p which is unfortunate bc my lo is usually up until 10. Her daddy has been putting her to bed bc I'm out cold.
Any upcoming/recent appointments? Was a crazy last week. I had my us Monday, graduated from the re, attempted to make an appointment with the ob. Told me I couldn't be seen until feb 17, I said no way. They called me back and said they had a cancel for thurs. So i had my first ob apt thurs with another us bc i was only 7 weeks. Baby is measuring 2 days ahead but we're keeping the same date.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Not really. I used to be able to speak conversational Hebrew and I studied Spanish in high school. But now I don't really remember much of either and sometimes combine the two.

Dates: 8/2, 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30. 8/23!

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 10 weeks/Prune (made it to double digits! woo!)

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? I think a little better? Or maybe I'm just used to it? I am finding an apple a day keeps some of the constipation away. The food aversions are my biggest problem and kind of add to my nausea.... and I don't have ANY cravings. I guess that's good for my weight gain though.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? My next appointments are 2/4... 12 week 15 minute check up at OB, nuchal translucency and genetic counselor (for family hx) at the hospital, AND meeting up with our doula. Pretty excited/nervous for that day to get here.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Studied French in school and German when I was a nanny in Switzerland... But now when I try to speak them I mix them up in my brain.

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 10 weeks / prune

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Slowly getting better. Only needing naps every now and then, eating is getting easier, so that makes me happy.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? Booked in with my midwife this week, waiting on my ultrasound appointment.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? I studied Spanish in high school, but I wish I'd carried on with French. Still hoping to pick it up one day as I worry about seeing a fantastic job in Quebec and being hopeless speaking to everyone.

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 12 weeks - Plum!

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Mostly better, finally went to the bathroom, which made me cry I was so happy!

Any upcoming/recent appointments? Monday, lots and lots of blood work.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? I am fluent in ASL, as my step sister is deaf.

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 12 weeks / Plum

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Nausea is starting to let up but I still get hungry every few hours. I'm also still pretty tired most of the time. Overall, not too bad!

Any upcoming/recent appointments? Got a clean bill of health at my dermatologist on Wednesday and the ok to go back to yearly appts (had a precancerous mole removed last year). I have the NT scan on Tuesday and I am really excited about seeing the lil bubb on an ultrasound again, since the last time was at 8 weeks. Midwife monthly checkup is later in the day Tuesday.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? I had a bit of Spanish in middle school, then 4 years of German in high school plus a semester of it in college. Unfortunately, it mostly hasn't stuck. Someday I want to pick up software to freshen my skills up to try and retain it. My grandmother was born and raised in Germany and met my grandfather when he was stationed in her town (he was US military). She has said that one of her biggest regrets is not teaching her kids and grandkids German at a young age.

EDD: 8/30

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 8 weeks/raspberry

How are you feeling? I am about the same. MS might be slightly worse, but only at night and some mornings. It hasn't affected my work yet, and I haven't actually vomited yet either, so I feel it's been fairly manageable. Sleeping more, eating often, boobs are sore, back aches, etc.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? Not yet, still 2 weeks away for my very 1st appt.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Not really, I know the tiniest bit of German and some basic ASL. If I could learn any language in a day it would probably be Italian.

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 12 weeks / plum

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Better I think, I had a melt down with my daughter this morning but it might be more of dealing with a toddler than hormones.

Upcoming appointments: my NT scan is the 27th and my next midwife appointment is Feb 6th

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Any you'd like to pick up? I studied french in high school. I can still read it but have a hard time with anything else. I know some ASL and would love to get fluent in that. Right now I can typically get by but now very well.

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 12 weeks/plum

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Different. Now I have insomnia and headaches to worry about.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? 12 weeks appointment on Tuesday. Can't wait to hear those heartbeats!!!

GTKY Do you speak any other languages?  Any you'd like to pick up?   I speak Portuguese (of course) and can get by in Spanish. I have a thing for learning Norwegian. I just love the language!!!

[lulurm]

Date: 8/9

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 11weeks/lime

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Different. Pregnancy-wise I actually feel great! However, I've had a cold for about a month now, which turned into bronchitis last week, I'm on the mend though.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? I had my third u/s last Thursday. Baby was VERY active (it was fun to watch!), had a HB of 170, and was measuring 3 days ahead!

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Any you'd like to pick up? I grew up in Canada, so I was fairly fluent in French. But when you don't use it you lose it, and I've since forgotten everything but the basics (and the Canadian national anthem!).

I really hate to sound like a total newb here, but I've done a bunch of reading and get different answers. So, out of curiosity... Do you count your second trimester at 12, 13, or 14 weeks? My doctor said 12, CNM said 13, and TB says 14. I've read through a ton of resources and it seems to be a matter of opinion. Well, that's annoying.

Dates: 8/2, 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30. 8/2!

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 12 weeks! Plum.

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? Sometimes better, which is nice.

Any upcoming/recent appointments? Friday with my OB.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Any you'd like to pick up? Studied French But I'm really piss poor at it. So I would say no. I know a few phrases in French and Cajun French and that's about it. Also some phrases in Spanish.

I always thought it was the end of 12 weeks, so when you hit 13 weeks you've reached second trimester. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

[mommakc]

queenb: before I got pregnant, this was what I thought. But my doctor for my first pregnancy said it was day 1 of 12 weeks (so do some websites), and TB says day one of week 14, along with a bunch of other sources.

Lurking cause I like reading these.

I think if you divide it out evenly it ends up being 2nd tri at 13 weeks 3 days.

Good enough for me, thanks ladies!

Dates: 8/2, 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30. 8/30 (I'm the late bloomer of the group)

How many weeks are you / what fruit? 8 weeks / Raspberry

How are you feeling? Better? Worse? about the same. Heartburn is making me it's bitch!

Any upcoming/recent appointments? I have my bloodwork/nurse visit tomorrow.

GTKY Do you speak any other languages? Any you'd like to pick up? I took years of Spanish in school... I would probably still read some ok, I would be seriously laughed at if I tried to speak it! I've thought of picking up Swedish b/c of family history, but I'm not super serious about it.
