Friday Check In

[pineappledeelight]

Week/day: 4 weeks, 6 days (come onnnnn 5!)

Symptoms: Had my first official pregnancy puke yesterday! Feels like some sort of badge of honour but I'm terrified that it's a sign of crazy morning sickness to come because it's still so early!! It came on really quick though, I felt like I was gonna puke, I did it, and moved on with my day (even went to spin class no problem). So that's not so bad. Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. Definitely peeing more often and still have a bad taste in my mouth and sensitive scalp!

GTKY: H and I have been together for about 9 1/2 years. We actually started dating in January of grade 12! But we've been living together for almost 4 years and married for about 7 months .

[cindylouwho]

Week/Day: 4ish weeks?

Symptoms: Just super tired!

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together? 5 years...married for 2.5

pineappledeelight, kudos to you for puking then going to spin class! I don't think I'd be able to do that!

[ashley1106]

Week/Day: 4w6d

Symptoms: nauseous, tired. I had cramps this morning, which scare me. I can't rmember if cramping is normal or a bad sign.

GTKY: How log have you and your SO been together? We've been together for 9 yrs and married for almost 4yrs. We started dating in high school but we're friends long before that.

Week/Day: 4 weeks?

Symptoms: none

We've been together for 4 years, married for a year and a half. I only just changed my name yesterday. I was always planning to, but just kept putting it off. I figured I might as well do it now. The less places I have to remember to change it at the better.

[pineappledeelight]

ashley1106, I've been cramping a lot too. This is my first pregnancy, but everyone keeps telling me it's totally normal! Everyone says that it's round ligament pain??

silverspoon, changing your name sucks eh! So many places you have to do it.

Symptom update (since getting out of bed): welcome to the party sore ta-tas! Happy about this only because I kept reading that this is basically the only universal early pregnancy symptom and I didn't have them yet! But ask me how I feel about them in a month...

We got married on a Friday, and that Monday after I went and changed it as soon as the office opened. My maiden name was awful, also I'm glad I did because it's made paperwork and signing my husband out a lot easier.

I know it will make things easier in the long run. I think my issue was mostly that I would be shocked if I ever met someone with my same first and last name. My husband on the other hand, has one of the most common last name's there is in this country. I'm already resigned to the idea that our kid will probably share their name with hundreds of thers. It's ok.

Week/Day: 4 weeks, 1 day

Symptoms: Nothing too much - just tired and random mild cramping from time to time.

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together? 7 1/2 years, friends for over 8. We've been married almost 4 years (June 11th).

Cramps are totally normal. If you were spotting with the cramps is when you would maybe want to talk to your doctor. Although, I had cramps and spotting when pregnant with DD, and all was fine. I actually thought I had my period, that's how bad it was. 

[peaseblossom55]

Week/day: 4 weeks 5 days
Symptoms I am real tired today. Some nausea but not too much. I had the ultrasound this morning. It went well there is only 1 baby and everything is right on schedule and in the right place. I go for another one next Friday.
Gtky: 5 1/2 years we've been together married almost 11 months

[Sparkly]

Week/Day:  4 weeks today (going by FF's O date...we'll see if my OB changes it)

Symptoms:  Feel pretty normal today. I'm hungry.

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together?  Together 8 years in July, Married 5 in September.


Question: Once the group gets a little bigger, will we do ticker change check ins? Rather than everyone, every day? That's what we did on my BMB on TD back in the day... I don't know if that's what's done around here. I know it's still early and we're small, but I think it gets to be A LOT to read and maybe not necessary for everyone to check in every day. What do you guys think?

[rnmommy]

Week/Day: 5 weeks

Symptoms: Mild waves of nausea, sometimes increased hunger, increased thirst and urination and extremely sensitive nipples.

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together? 16 years, but only married since September 2013

[shoogars]

Symptoms? Bloated, bladder seems smaller, and I'm tired…but its a gloomy day and that may have more to do with it. Boobs are maybe a bit sensitive.

DH and I have been together for 5.5 years and married for 4.5 years…but have been known to each other since Jr High. He was friends with my brother, and his dad & step mom lived on the block I grew up on, they were on my brothers paper route

Well, considering we don't get much fresh blood on TCF and pretty much pull in users from other boards, rather than google searches at the moment, I think we'll probably stay pretty small? If we get to be a big group then yeah I'd be for that, but I don't personally see that happening like it did with TD 

I mean, I know it seems like it won't be a lot now, but even with 30-40 people (which we are at 10-12+ and we're only a week into EDDs, plus most of us found out very early), checking in every day, I don't think that's necessary.

I lurk some of the other BMBs and I think this is great what they have in D'15.

So you check in each week the day your ticker changes? Yeah, I can get behind that. We can always evaluate it as we go! 

Yes. So my current EDD is a Friday, so Friday is the day my ticker changes - when you move to a new week of pregnancy. Yesterday was I was 3 weeks 6 days --> today I'm 4 weeks = new week. Lurk some other BMBs, it's what most do. There are also additional check ins we can start like STM+ moms, BFing, high risk, AMA, PGal, etc. It will depend on the make up of the group and what people want.

Week/Day: 4W1D

Symptoms: Fatigue, sore boobs, and can pretty much cry on demand.

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together? DH and I have been together 8 years, been married 7.

[hoopoe]

Week/Day: 5 weeks today

Symptoms: Is it too early for pregnancy brain? Today, I had a meeting, parked at a meter and completely forgot to pay it. I just walked off and, of course, came back to a $42 ticket!

GTKY: How long have you and your SO been together? Total=8 years (what?! how did that happen?) Married = 4 years.

[Lollipop]

Week/day: unclear, ultrasound in an hour to find out. Measuring at 4 weeks. I might have to go back in a couple of weeks just to make sure everything is good.

Symptoms: none really. Except my sense of smell. Lots of smells are making my stomach upset, including my hand lotion, shampoo, and soap. Fun times

GTKY: all together, 5 years as of this month, and married 4 in July. Not counting the first time we dated when I was 18

Our kids are going to have very unique names, not because we misspell them but because our last name is impossible lol 

+1. Ours is old English, 16 letters, and as far as I know, DH's is the only branch of the family in the country.

So I'm just going to go ahead and start the Friday ticker change for today, even though there will only be a few of us. I can post each week day's thread for now, or anyone due that day of the week can jump in an start it. (I will obviously only participate in my day) I stole an example from D15 to get us started.

Oh good. I just can't rmember of I had them with my last pregnancy and it was freaking me out!
