How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Last night I have a ton of GI issues. So spicy is a no go. lol Emotionally I go from this will be our rainbow to what if there is actually no baby in there and some how my body is so fucked up it thinks there is. Today I am more hopeful. lol

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Nope

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? I hit 6w and no spotting! 7w1d I will be the most pregnant I have ever been. Then we have an appointment on Dec. 14th.

How far along are you? 9w5d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? I thought I was getting over the hump of MS, but alas I was wrong. Today is better though. Emotionally I am a yo-yo. Some days I am super happy & confident, others I feel negative and doubting.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Nope!

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next appt is Dec 11 for NT scan and genetic screen.

QOTW: What song is your jam right now? I am so all over the place, musically. I have been listening to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack a lot on my commutes lately.

How far are you? 8w0d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? I'm hanging in there. I've been saying PGAL mantras daily. I'm still battling ms and it didn't go well with the long drive we had for Thanksgiving. I puked most of the drive to and from :/.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Nope

Any upcoming milestone or appointments? Yes this Thursday we have an ultrasound with our RE. I'm hoping to find out when we can stop PIO!

Thinking of you and your upcoming dates/appointments cavewmn and powerofbacon

6w4d

Feeling okay, a little sick in the evening. Overall I feel optimistic, just anxious for our first appointment on the 10th. DH announced to his family this weekend when we were celebrating thanksgiving. We will probably tell my family after the appointment or closer to Christmas.

Qotw: I wouldn't call it my jam, but I've had one of DD1's preschool songs stuck in my head all weekend long!

[chknma]

Haha I'm so slow to respond hat 2 new posts popped up after I hit send.

madamewaffles fx for a reassuring NT

How far along are you? 5w, 1d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? I might have some breast tenderness but I don't know if that is just the progesterone I am on or not. I wish that I had more definite symptoms so I know this isn't all in my head.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Just wishing I could know for sure if my my proms are real or just the result of my progesterone supplements.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? First appt and u/s with my RE is on 12/11

QOTW: What song is your jam right now? Pretty much anything by Halsey

How far along are you? 5w, 3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? That icky feeling is starting to settle in, as is the fatigue. But otherwise not too bad. Emotionally, doing alright. Because I have a history of late pregnancy loss, the first tri isn't bad for me. I'm fully confident I will turn into a basket case come 2nd tri, and even more so for the last couple months. .

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Only that my husbands beer breath made me want to force him to sleep in the guest room. There was much beer consumed this weekend, between thanksgiving, college football, and pro football (he's a Patriots fan so he came to bed with his spirit crushed last night). I can't deal with the beer breath. ?

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Nothing until 12/18, which will just be a confirmation and bloodwork appt.

QOTW: What song is your jam right now? I'm starting to get into the Christmas music since it's that time of year.

[sarcaztic10]

cavewmn, I feel you on the up and down emotions. Sometimes I am so hopeful and then I think about the first ultrasound and I am so scared that this will be another loss or ectopic. Sending you ((Hugs))

powerofbacon, GL with your ultrasound today! Let us know how it goes!

madamewaffles, I hope your MS gets better soon. Sending you (((Hugs))) for the up and down emotions I am in the same boat.

lovegrilledcheese, GL on your appointment on Thursday! Maybe stopping the PIO will alleviate some of your MS.

chknma, It is great that you feel optimistic! I am also anxious for my first appointment.

How far along are you? 6 weeks 6 days

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Tired, doing ok emotionally but still paranoid

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? My boobs! Eek, I don't know if its because of the progesterone but man, I can't believe how sore they are. I don't remember them being this bad with DS.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? ultrasound tomorrow since heartrate was low last week and it was earlier than they thought.

QOTW: What song is your jam right now? Hmm...I don't seem to have time for music much but DS and I went to see Rudolph in a theater last night, so I have that song in my head

[ellebelle]

Late to the check-in, my anxiety was pretty out of control yesterday and this morning so I stayed away from the internet.

How far along are you? 6w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically, pretty good. Just some sore boobs and occasional dizziness. Emotionally I've been having a tough time with anxiety but having a good appt. this morning helped a lot. Not out of the woods by a far shot but a great start.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? We had our first scan at the RE this morning and there was one beautiful little baby in there measuring on track with a HB of 120. So relieved! We go back on the 11th for our second scan at 8 weeks and then if all looks good I get to graduate to the OB!

QOTW: What song is your jam right now? "First" by Coldwar Kids

Hooray! good ultrasound today! Little bean had a heartbeat of 137 and was measuing just shy of 7 weeks. We got referral to an MFM and mentioned genetic testing (and I also will probably be doing shots to help prevent premature labor) next appointment after holidays (unless MFM wants me to come in earlier)
