Any new developments/appointments?

If you don't mind, I'm going to copy/paste this into the 1st tri board as well to get some other people involved! :-) I'll also answer here.

What week/fruit are you? 12 weeks/Plum


Any new developments/appointments? Next appointment is the 27th, thought DH was going to go with me, but now our realtor is coming to take pictures so I'm not sure if he is going to go with me or not.


How are you feeling these days? Seems like some things are letting up, but I'm still hooked on my Zofran.


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected? Harder, but I think there are compounding factors (moving, selling home, having a toddler, etc)


GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Veterinarian

[carabassa]

@jhalula09 - Ah, I forgot we were going to do that. Whoops! Thanks for copying it over.


What week/fruit are you? 11 weeks, a lime!


Any new developments/appointments? No, nothing new. Still waiting for my first ultrasound, which isn't for another 9 days.


How are you feeling these days? Actually a lot better. Still nauseous and throwing up every other day, but the fatigue has let up a lot. I feel much more alive. More optimistic.


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected? This first trimester was so much worse than I could have imagined. I was truly miserable for a good chunk of time. The constant dry heaving and vomiting and hung-over feeling...yikes. For some reason I thought I'd just throw up and move on with my day. Apparently not. But 2nd tri is looking pretty good on the horizon.


GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be an artist, a pianist, or a mime. Anything that didn't involve talking.

What week/fruit are you? 12/plum


Any new developments/appointments? I had my NT scan yesterday, it was awesome! I have my 12 week appointment this afternoon.


How are you feeling these days? Pretty good, still pretty exhausted and I still get nauseous but for the most post I am doing well.


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?
I think it is harder in the aspect that i have a toddler ands i just want to sleep all the time. But everything else is pretty much the exact same as last time.

GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I don't remember what i wanted to be when I was young but from 7th-12 grade I wanted to be a doctor. 12th grade hit and i realized I don't handle stress well, I also don't really like biology, so I decided to do something else. 10 years and a b.s. degree later I still don't have my mind made up.

What week/fruit are you?10 weeks - Prune. For some reason double digits seems like HUGE accomplishment.


Any new developments/appointments? Symptoms seem almost non-existant except for this morning when I felt some pressure like something was actually in there...probably just a poop. My next appointment is next week and I am anxiously awaiting it!


How are you feeling these days? Pretty good. Tired, but my job has been putting me through the ringer since we got back from Christmas vacation.


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?My other pregnancy only lasted 6 weeks so I didn't really know what to expect with this one. I guess easier because I've only thrown up twice and I expected it to be every day.


GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?A famous country/pop singer. Never even tried to audition for American Idol.

This is my first post here. Coming over from TB.. I really need good advice/support; not glitter and rainbows and a hundred of the same question being asked a hundred times a day.

What week/fruit are you? 9 weeks and an olive!


Any new developments/appointments? My Initial prenatal appointment is tomorrow. No US though.. Had one at 6w5d because of pain and early bleeding. I am hoping they will do the doppler for my sanity.


How are you feeling these days? Since Monday I have had back aches that are now full blown cramps, so needless to say not happy about it. Yesterday I had a complete meltdown about the bloat and had a cry/bitch fess to DH for about thirty minutes! Today is better as far as emotions go!


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?
I am a FTM and it is definitely harder. I didn't expext my emotions to be so insane or that I'd be so disgusted with my body. Definitely ready for the baby bump to happen and for blump to go away!

10 weeks/prune


Any new developments/appointments?
Appointment on 2nd

How are you feeling these days?
Ok. Been having done spotting and cramping. Boobs are sore, nausea, heartburn.

So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?
Harder than my last one. I was lucky and had zero symptoms with DS.


GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Stripper. Haha! My mom found me dancing in front if the mirror when I was little. I guess I told her I wanted to be a stripper

Please, for your own sanity, do NOT freak out if they can't find the HB on the doppler.  They couldn't with me because my ute is tilted back (which doesn't make things easier to find the HB).

I also have a retroverted ute so, I'll try my best to not freak out! Thank you!

I'm a Sunday lurker but, what she said. I went at 9 weeks and they couldn't hear the HB because of a tilted ute for me as well. It's very common.

[kingbaby]

What week/fruit are you?
11 weeks/lime. Moving into citrus feels like a big deal.

Any new developments/appointments?
Nope. Next appt is 1/28, which is the 1st trimester screening.

How are you feeling these days?
Every time I think I'm over MS, it comes back. I'm cranky & crampy though last night was the first time I actually slept through a full night.

So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?
Not sure. I know I've had some things easy. I work from home so I've been saved from a lot of triggers for MS. Plus I only drive when I want to. But the fatigue has been really rough.

GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Could never make up my mind. Dancer, artist, vet, writer. Dammit I still don't know!

abvintage Thanks for the reassurance!!

This is my first time posting!

What week/fruit are you? 11 wks/prune


Any new developments/appointments?
I had my first ultrasound at 8 wks, 5 days - had a heartbeat of 180 - and go for my second appointment (no ultrasound) at 11 wks, 5 days

How are you feeling these days? I have been feeling pretty good. I get an occasional bout of nausea here or there, but eating has NOT been a problem. But, I have been super susceptible to illness: 2 colds, on my 3rd, and the stomach flu...


So far, is this pregnancy easier, harder, or the same as what you expected?
I guess I had no idea what to expect! I would say it has been a bit easier than I expected.

GTKY: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I know this sounds lame, but I've always wanted to be a lawyer and that's what I am!
