Pregnant again check in

[MadisonPenny]

Thx paulheath,for doing this!

How far along are you / how old is LO ? I'm 16 weeks tomorrow, Time is flying! LO is *almost* 14 months. I'll say it again. Time is flying!
How are you feeling? Better these days which has got my PGAL brain going full force now. Since I'm feeling so good and I haven't felt any movement all I do is worry.
Any milestones/ appointments coming up? I think I updated about my NT scan, but that came back false and so did my IPS, so, so far no health problems which is awesome! I go for my A/S in a few weeks, looking forward to it and seeing W2.0 again, and we'll probably find out the sex and get to torture everyone we know with that since we won't be sharing that information again.
Concerns? This past week I've been getting some major cramps on my side, mainly right, and occassionally around my belly button. I'd chalk it up to RLP but they stick around for awhile before they fade. A few nights ago in the middle of the night, I had one that was so bad it woke me from my sleep and I could not move, it felt like my kidney burst and the pain radiated up my back. It eventually went away but it took a long time to fade. If these pains continue I'll definitely be calling the doctor.
Successes, tips or tricks to share ?

How far along are you/ how old is LO? I think I'm 5 weeks but not really sure. Based on LMP I should be almost 6 but I think I ovulated late. LO is almost 14 months.

How are you feeling? Like megash I have waves of nausea but haven't gotten sick yet.

Milestones? I haven't called the dr. to set up my appt yet. They don't see you until 11 weeks normally and my DH is working on setting up insurance through his new job. I would really like it to be under that new insurance instead of the basic coverage we have right now.

Concerns? I wasn't sure when I ovulated because of BFing so took one of those clearblue weeks estimators. Last week it said 1-2 weeks since ovulation which was less than I thought. I took one again today and it still says 1-2 weeks so I'm a little worried. I mean I guess I could just be right at the 2 weeks since ovulation but Idk.

How far along/how old is LO: I'm 9 weeks today, LO will be 14 months next week.

How are you feeling: awful, honestly. I've only thrown up a few times but from 430 till bedtime I'm a mess of nausea and dry heaving. Mornings aren't great either, but evenings are killing me. And of course that's prime time with LO.

Milestones: we've told family, will slowly tell more friends after our next appt on 4/14.

Concerns: still having some brown bleeding/discharge off and on, but given the SCH, the doc isn't too concerned and encouraging me not to be.

[dadalou]

How far along are you? 37 weeks
How are you feeling? Done. I'm tired all the time and everything hurts. I've been having contractions sporadically for a couple of days, but they always stop by the time I go to bed. Now that I'm officially full term baby girl can come any time.
Any milestones/ appointments coming up? I have a biophysical profile ultrasound today, NST and OB appointment on Friday. My doctors seem to think that I will deliver this week. I'm not so sure.
Concerns? Not going into labor on my own. Having to have another c section. I think I will have a panic attack if I end up in that OR again.
I just want this baby on the outside soon. I don't think I can handle the constant worry too much longer. It's especially hard when I'm having contractions and I can't feel her move.

I will be 16 weeks friday! Lo is almost 13 months.

Not bad but I get tired easily and short of breath when I have to climb stairs. Oh and killer headaches!

I had to move my appointment next week, but we should schedule my a/s at that appointment!

Sometimes it gets scary thinking there will two of these little people who don't sleep and can't talk. I know it will be fine but I think it's one of those things you don't stop worrying about until you go through it.

[bmbrinson09]

dadalou big hugs and I hope tour little lady makes an appearance soon!

[karlamo]

19 weeks as of tomorrow!

We have our anatomy scan on Monday. It'll be my first apt without taking R with me. We're looking forward to some 1:1 time with Moka. Otherwise m/s has ended somewhat and now it's just every once in awhile. On Saturday my dentist asked if I had m/s this bad with my first. I so wanted to reply with nope, and no weight gain either!

Concerns: It's me, when am I not freaking out. I hope after Monday I'll worry less. We also need to start telling people since we're practically half baked.

[karlamo]

@dadlou, you're so close! I'll be sending some good energy your way.

[vshumway]

How far along are you / how old is LO ? I am just over 9 weeks. LO is almost 13 months.

How are you feeling? I am finally having some good days (1-2 days a week). Rest of the days I still feel like crap all day long. I am thankful for a long weekend this weekend because I can feel my patience running dry.

Any milestones/ appointments coming up? We have our next appointment next week. It will probably be another ultrasound. Because of my tilted uterus we most likely won't be able to hear a heartbeat without a full ultrasound. The following week we have the NT ultrasound.

Concerns? My back is already hurting me badly. It wasn't until probably 30 weeks with DD that it was this bad. I need to find a chiropractor that takes my insurance and start going for weekly or bi-weekly appointments.

Successes, tips or tricks to share ? Last night after work I found energy to clean the kitchen, make dinner, clean up from dinner, and bring the dog and LO on a walk all while DH was at soccer practice. That is a huge success for me right now!

[vshumway]

dadalou you are so close- hang in there!

paulheath thank you for running this! How is baby?

[nabruns]

bmbrinson09 I will be 16 weeks on Friday also!!! Congrats! It's been so long since I've checked in on this board and I feel terrible about it!

LO is almost 14 months.

I've been feeling pretty good lately, now that I got rid of the everlasting cold!

I think I've been feeling LO#2 moving around a bit! Still pretty sporadic but I think that's what it is!

2 under 2 will be crazy but I'm so excited to meet this LO! We are team green again so we'll have no idea what we are welcoming!!

How far along are you / how old is LO ?
I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. LO turned 13 months a week ago.

How are you feeling?
Still dealing with m/s (all day sickness). It seems like whenever I have food in my stomach, that's when I feel the worst. I am eagerly waiting for m/s to be over.

I feel like I haven't really bonded with LO2 like I did with LO1. It all doesn't feel real yet.

Any milestones/ appointments coming up?
Concerns?
I have blood work that I need to get done this weekend.


Successes, tips or tricks to share ?
Ginger has been helping with m/s. Also, there are 2 pg women on my floor (1 10 wks ahead (3rd child), the other 2 weeks ahead(1st child)), so we have been passing off snacks and little tips to each other.

Hi everyone!

dadalou you're so close! I hope the next bit zips by somehow.

karlamo that response would be perfection.

How far along are you / how old is LO ? I'm 24 weeks, LO will be 14 months on Saturday.

How are you feeling? I am pretty good. I'm starting to notice some aches when I get up after sitting for a while.

Any milestones/ appointments coming up? I have an appt with the uber-fun gestational diabetes test next Friday (not two days from now). Viability day was this past Monday!

Concerns? I am starting to figure out some of the realities of 2u2. A friend has a seven-week-old and a 19-month old, and the stories are trickling out. Hold me.

Successes, tips or tricks to share? Oh gosh... I have no recent pregnancy or parenting successes.

[karlamo]

chiawombat, care to share the stories with the group or will this send us running to sign up for wine of the month delivery service?

[5ofthem2ofus]

If you will have me back I'm going to cautiously join (once again) I had a loss 3/3/15

How far? I have no clue rough estimate is 4-5 weeks assuming my body treated my MC. Like a period-

Feel? Scared and sick- I actually took a test while w vacationed this week because the thought of smoked meat made me gaggy- and I LOVE smoked meat

I have a beta blood Monday so should have a better indicator of where I'm at

Well I spoke too soon. The puking began yesterday.

Oof.

.

Oh no!!! I have been dry heaving but thinking it's more car sick then ms fx!

Rest as much as you can

[chiawombat]

karlamo it might.

So far, the toddler has tried to sit on the baby in his rock 'n play, says "bye bye baby" whenever he cries, and the part that is most concerning: has had sleep regression.

Wine sounds like a good plan.

Our baddlers won't be like that, right? Right?

[karlamo]

All of you battling m/s you have my pity. I can't believe I survived 16 weeks of it. And to think you all are doing it for the second time around!

chiawombat, I'm relieved to hear your comment. So in R's case we have nothing to worry about since he's up every 2-3 hours anyway. Phew! I think R is a lost cause and we should focus on sleep training Moka at 3 weeks.
