GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink?

[morwen]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 10 - double digits!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: I'm getting a bit anxious to hear the HB again just to know everything is still okay - last time we saw it was 2.5 weeks ago.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have an apt next Thursday, hoping they use the Doppler, otherwise I'll have to have my NT scan in a few weeks so I'll get to see our jellybean then


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Right now I'm loving cranberry juice mixed with orange juice. I'm so bored of water

[swivelchair5]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7w3d (blueberry?)

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: I broke my no-puking-while-pregnant streak this morning. I'm actually ok with that since my first pregnancy I spent 2 months thinking I might puke but never actually doing it. I feel accomplished. I've also been having headaches, which is new. Emotionally, DH asked me yesterday to talk to my doctor about depression. I am expecting the worst with this pregnancy, which is not normal for me.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: U/S and nurse appt. on 7/15

GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? water. also big into ginger ale lately.

[SubtleGrandeur]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9w3d-tater tot (blackberry according to my ticker)

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Still nauseous. Still tired. Still breaking out like a flippin teenager. I almost fell asleep at my desk yesterday. Emotionally, I'm doing a LOT better after last week's u/s.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I don't have anything for a couple of weeks. I see my actual OB on 7/23 and have the Harmony test scheduled for 7/27.

GTKY: What is your favourite non alcholic drink? Lately, I've been drinking lots of ginger ale. Other than that, I've been drinking V8 juice to try to get some veggies since I basically want to eat all of the carbs.

[mrsred09]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 9 weeks/raspberry


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: physically still so nauseous and starving at the same time all day long! Emotionally I'm doing okay. PGAL brain seems to be subsided for the moment, but I know my fears of losing this baby will be back.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT scan in a few weeks and first visit with MFM first week of August.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Brewed iced tea

[kellybenelly83]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8 weeks, 5 days Raspberry!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: I'm so hungry! Alternately, nothing is appealing. Dinner last night looked delicious, then 3 bites in I could barely stomach it. Emotionally? It depends on the day. I havent been feeling too awful which freaks me out a little, then I'll feel terrible, I'm just nervous I guess.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My next appointment is an ultrasound and then dr appointment the 24th, it seems longer than 2 weeks away. DH took the day off to come with me I'll be 11 weeks at the time.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? tea, iced tea, I keep thinking of drinks I love then realising they're all alcoholic......

[tkford216]

SubtleGrandeur That's a good idea, the V8 juice. I've been having a hard time eating healthy too.. I feel like all I've eaten the past 3 weeks is grain carbs and sugary things.

[tkford216]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit):
8w4d (jelly bean according to my app)

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?:
I'm doing okay. I feel mostly normal actually, until the evenings when my stomach is too uncomfortable to eat any real food and I go to bed at 9:00.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
Next appt (with u/s) is the 22nd. Seems so far away.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Honestly, I drink a lot of milk. Oh, and kiddie cocktails are still one of the best things ever invented, I don't care how old I am.

[bex]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6+4, Sweet Pea


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, mostly just tired. Some nausea when I get hungry, *I think*, and some twingy cramps. Breaking out. Hemorrhoids, ugh. Emotionally, a wreck. As my first u/s looms closer I'm freaking out more and more. I go from irritable/angry, to crying, to somber with not a lot of good emotions in the mix. Frankly, I'm terrified to go through another loss. First u/s was how I found out last time, and I'm not sure that this one is going to go well and so I worry and expect the worst. DH wants to buy a camera (a really nice DSLR in anticipation, and I'm all, why don't we see what the u/s says and make sure there's even a baby in there).


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Tomorrow, 1:30 ct. I'll take all the good thoughts and positive vibes I can get.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? I like lattes, and coke. Trying to cut back on both of those is really hard - I hate water.

[EatsRitz]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8w, 6d, raspberry


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, mostly ok. I've been staying ahead of the nausea by taking meds and eating regularly, so that's good. Emotionally, I'm just white-knuckling it until second tri. Just a few more weeks!


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Not until 7/27


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Does a chocolate shake count as a drink?

[swivelchair5]

EatsRitz, yes, a chocolate shake counts as a drink! And now, because of the power of suggestion, I really want one.

bex, FX for you tomorrow!

[tkford216]

Mmmmm chocolate shakes....

I feel like I'm running to the store every night now because of something suggested in F16, lol. My H is not amused.

[SubtleGrandeur]

A chocolate shake would be fantastic right now.....

[mellymel15]

Thanks for the check-in, morwen. Congrats on hitting 10 weeks!

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8w6d/raspberry or kidney bean


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, I still feel good. Just a little hungrier than usual, more tired in the mornings and evenings, some constipation and trouble going #2, sore boobs (especially when I wake up), but that's pretty much it. I'm weirded out that I haven't really experienced nausea (except for one random evening). Emotionally, I'm concerned that I feel so normal and am scared that the lack of symptoms means something's not right.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I passed my loss milestone last Thursday when I had my first ultrasound, and was told everything was on track and the baby had a healthy heart rate. So I should probably feel more reassured by that, but I have a not-so-healthy tendency to worry and overanalyze everything.

My next appointment is Friday, July 17 at 9:40 a.m. to check the baby's heartbeat (my doctor indulged my PGAL brain). They're using doppler this time instead of the dildo cam.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Speaking of shakes, I'll take a strawberry milkshake, please (good answer, EatsRitz)

[followthesun]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit):8 weeks today, according to yesterday's ultrasound. I think jelly bean sounds about right, tkford216, so I will take your word for it!


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?:Physically, still alternating starving and food aversion, random boob soreness, and crashing by 9-9:30 every night unless I nap. Other than that, pretty good! Skin is greasy but not breaking out as much. Emotionally, I am feeling a lot of relief from yesterday's appointment. I'm sure PGAL brain will kick back in but right now I am riding the "good first appointment" high.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:I have an exam next week and may ask them to use the doppler just to keep my mind from going to dark places. My loss milestone is the 12 week scan, so I still have a ways to go. I lost the last baby sometime soon after my first appointment, but didn't find out until the 12-week scan, so I think the doppler will help a lot.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? I love ginger ale, but last pregnancy I gained a bunch from drinking it too much. This time around, I'm on seltzer with lemon or plain water for the most part. I still like it.

[leahks77]

Hi ladies Happy Wednesday and ((hugs)) to all who are struggling.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 7 wks 2 days (blueberry)

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, okay. A little nauseous here and there if I don't eat, and nothing sounds great. A little tired. But overall okay. Emotionally still not great. I have zero confidence in this pregnancy and that makes me sad.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: We have a HB check Friday at 7wks 4days. Our MMC was discovered at 11wks but the fetus stopped developing at 8wks 1 day. So that's soon...


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? I love lemonade, or any juice, mixed with seltzer. Mmmmm.

[redfraggle]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8w 2d


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: phyiscally: nauseous. emotionally: mostly excited, a bit scared. This is my 3rd PG since my late-term loss, so I'm trying to be positive, but I'm honestly really worried this one will die, too


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I just had my dating US, so my next appts. are in a couple weeks with both MFM and OB.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Today: lemonade

[redfraggle]

Am I the only one completely repulsed by chocolate since becoming PG? I've forced myself to eat it a few times, but this baby and I do not share taste in sweets. The chocolate shake sounds disgusting to me.

Practically all I've wanted to eat lately is chocolate. And cheese. I think nugget wants more calcium..

[apunicorn]

Late to the game, but good evening PgAL ladies!

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 10!!! Prune sized.


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically I think the nausea is starting to get a little better. I'm still tired though and I've begun getting headaches. Emotionally I'm ok; I'm just waiting for the next appointment. The new job has kept me busy but I do worry about what kind of leave I can get without FMLA.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: NT scan / harmony test in 2 weeks.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Seltzer!

[lotsacake]

Just intro'd in the big thread but hoping I can join you ladies.... I have a (4 days shy of) 1 year old son and two angel babies. One of which was in May... We were NTNP as we had no clue when/if I would ovulate and here I am! Scared shitless, literally it seems.

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 6w2d, sweet pea


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically, constipated and tired. Emotionally I'm cautiously optimistic.... I'm just waiting for the next appointment. I have passed both our loss milestones, and despite spotting last week my hcg is rising and is higher than both of my losses ever got so it is comforting to know that developmentally I am further even at this point.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have my 8 week appt in 2 weeks

GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Sweet tea!

[juliern]

How far along are you (weeks/fruit): 8 weeks tomorrow (raspberry)


How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?: Physically: I'm tired and my boobs ache. I also had some spotting today ( not really sure why). Emotionally, my mind is getting the best of me. I know we saw the heart beat on the U.S. last week, but I was measuring 4- 5 days behind. I'm pretty sure of when I o'd and now with the spotting, my mind is getting the best of me. I called my OB and am just watching things for now.


Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I meet with a maternity counselor on Friday.


GTKY: What is your favourite non alcoholic drink? Coke or lemonade

I am normally addicted, but I ate one chocolate bar since getting pg and threw up. I just dont want it like I used to! It gives me the sads

[mellymel15]

juliern, I'm sorry about the spotting. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it stops and that everything turns out to be OK.

lotsacake, welcome to the check-in. I think it's great that you're being optimistic. I really struggle with thinking positively.

[juliern]

mellymel15, Thanks, I really appreciate it! The spotting has seemed to stop today. I didnt have to work today, so I took it easy and am feeling a lot better.
