-unsure, but somewhere around 8w. I was measuring 5 says behind at my last ultrasound, so I may end up with a different due date.

-next appt is this Wed 12/30 with an ultrasound

-I feel awful. Nauseated most of the day. Most food sounds gross. I can't drink water without feeling sick, and normally that is all I drink. I have been very tired and taking a quick nap most days.

- I am still just so nervous and worried because of my 12 week loss. I know that no matter what this next ultrasound shows, I will still be worried for awhile. And I am anxious because of the measuring behind.

-best gift? Nothing stands out. I got some earrings and sweaters that I really like.

Praying for you. I'm also measuring behind. Our babies are going to be okay. (This coming from a complete internet stranger with zero merit, but all the hope in the universe) Do you have another ultrasound on the 30th?

[agpjt413]

How many weeks are you? 7w4d

Upcoming appointments? 01/14

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Occasional bouts of nausea, bloating & sore boobs.

Rants/Raves: The night time nausea is...UGH!!

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) For this year, if have to say u/s pics of our little bean on Christmas Eve was a pretty amazing gift

[redhead610]

thepax89, yes, I will have an u/s on the 30th. In my case, it is certainly possible I ovulated a little late - if I went by lmp I wouldn't have gotten my bfp until I was 4w1d, and since I was testing every other day I think I should have seen one earlier. What's weighing on me a lot is that with my loss, I was measuring behind with a hb, then by a week and a half later I was measuring okay with a very healthy hb, and then growth stopped somewhere between 8&9 weeks, discovered at my NT scan. I'm going to request another u/s around 10 weeks for peace of mind, because I don't think I'll be able to wait 4 weeks.

A little late:


How many weeks are you? 5w3d

Upcoming appointments? My first appt is the 11th - no U/S, but frankly, I'll be ok if I skip ultrasounds until 20 weeks.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I'm feeling good, but it's early. A few bouts of RLP and a few very minor bouts of nausea - but it's coming, I know.

Rants/Raves: Nothing much. I've got a busy month of appts ahead mostly for DS. He's getting tested for a strawberry Allergy on Monday the 4th, then the 11th is my first pre-natal. The 18th is DS' 12 month well and then the 27th he sees an electrophysiologist for his irregular heartbeat. Hopefully all this slows down - It seems like just yesterday I had tons of late prenatal appts.

Oh another small rant - my face is red. This happened with DS - my cheeks are an everlasting shade of red - I assume from the hormones.. people were asking me if I had Rosacea last time.

I like my FitBit. I can't use it to lose weight, obviously, but hopefully to track my activity. I know I'll be told not to gain weight again. I was told that last time and I was 172 (I'm 5'2) and now I'm ten pounds heavier.

This is terrifying. I'm so sorry for your loss. You should request all the ultrasounds you need/want.

I had a m/c 7.5 weeks ago. I fully plan to bug the shit out of them until this baby is out safely.

+1 on requesting all the ultrasounds. After multiple losses, I feel incredibly lucky to now have an OB who specializes in PgAL. She's amazing and have calmed most of my anxieties. I hope you'll be able to get that u/s in redhead610

[juliayadda]

How many weeks are you?
4w5d

Upcoming appointments?
First Beta is tomorrow

Symptoms/how are you feeling?
Fine mostly. Had to go up a band and a cup in my bra. #hormonesdontmessaround
Bit anxious about betas

Rants/Raves:
Heading home through some nasty Ontario weather.

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?)
New fancy camera.

[monicageller]

How many weeks are you? 5 + 5

Upcoming appointments? My first appointment isn't until 1/28, I'll be 10 weeks and should have an ultrasound.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. Just tired and kind of sluggish sometimes.

Rants/Raves: not today

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) I got these great frames I wanted from Crate and Barrel. I also got 2 gift certificates for massages- I'm pretty excited about that.

[fishchicks]

How many weeks are you?
7 weeks exactly


Upcoming appointments?
First appointment will be an ultrasound on 1/15. It's later than my doctor wants, but DH wants to be there and is travelling on business before then. 


Symptoms/how are you feeling?
The cramping is finally getting better, but the nausea is getting worse. Also, for the first time in my life I can just lay down and fall asleep with no insomnia issues. I'm still waking up at 4 am, but at least I'm falling asleep at night!


Rants/Raves:
Finally got rid of all the family members staying at our house, so I can use the computer again without someone snooping/overseeing! I had to wipe my ipad and laptop to make sure my mom wouldn't come across anything pregnancy related. She snoops. A lot. I love them all, but this is the last year everyone is staying with us. 


GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? No gifts this year. The most meaningful gift I've received is a quilt my mom embroidered. She made the original for me when I was a kid and I loved that quilt to death. About 10 years ago, she made me a new one and it's really special to me. 

[misshart00]

How many weeks are you? 7+1

Upcoming appointments? January 14 is my first appointment and ultrasound.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I feel like crap. So exhausted and nauseated. Much harder with two LOs underfoot.

Rants/Raves: I just want to take a nap. All day.

[hrushka]

Thanks for getting this started, ameliabird!

7w6d
Next appt is an u/s with my RE on 1/12 - a whole two weeks away!
Lots of nausea and some tiredness, but that's about it.
No major rants or raves from me today ... yet.

GTKY: DH got me a few pregnancy-related gifts, which was really sweet (if not a bit premature). He got me some sort of belly support, which I had no idea what it was - I thought it was a corset, lol. He also got me a Snoogle body pillow. I don't technically *need* it yet, but it is pretty amazing.

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? A new day planner and book just for making to do lists.

I'm a little jealous that you have an entire book dedicated to to-do lists!

Good luck today, remylove1011!

I looooove listing! The book he got me is made by Bloom. It has a section for daily must dos, other to dos, what you plan to eat, important times for the day. Pretty much a lister's dream!

How many weeks are you? 7wk5d

Upcoming appointments? First ultrasound is 1/7. I want it now. I'm getting impatient.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? No symptoms at all. I feel a bit sleepier than usual, but that could be in my head.

Rants/Raves: none at the moment.

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) DH got me an entire new office set up, desks, chair, cabinet. I work from home so this is a big deal

[kat1828]

How many weeks are you? 7 today (possibly)

Upcoming appointments? Jan. 7 for first prenatal appt with dating u/s!

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nauseous. All of the time. Food sucks. I can eat and keep almost everything down, but everything is disgusting to me.

Rants/Raves: I miss enjoying food so much. That is all.

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? My husband bought me a new iPod (which I asked for), but he surprised me by engraving a Shakespeare quote on the back of it: When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. (That quote is so perfect for capturing the moment we met.) I cried when I saw that. He totally blew me away.

[dorkusmalorkus]

How many weeks are you? 8.5 weeks

Upcoming appointments? Next one is 1/22

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired. Nauseated when hungry, after eating.... Super-smell. Insomnia. Sore breasts.

Rants/Raves: I don't want to wish away any part of pregnancy, especially since this will be our last, but I am SO looking forward to 2nd tri. For whatever reason, this has been much tougher than my earlier pregnancies.

My 3-year old is the cutest, though: I wanted to float the idea of him trading up for a big bed or else planning on new furniture for the baby, so asked him what he thought. He said that the baby would snuggle up with him in his crib/bed, because he's its big brother.

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) DH procrastinated and totally dropped the ball on Christmas. We'll do Christmas at his mom's on 1/1, where I'll likely get some gift cards. For now, my favorite gift is probably the Wonder Woman ornament my 5-year old picked out for me. She's convinced I love Wonder Woman.

[shehulk723]

How many weeks are you? 6w

Upcoming appointments? My us two days ago dated me 2 weeks earlier so no app until us and downs screen mid Feb.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Super nauseous and tired.

Rants/Raves: rant: dh is home from work today. I like my days alone with DD and we need the money, so I'm pissed.
Rave: I've finally been able to fall asleep at night

GTKY: What was your favorite gift you received for Christmas? (if you don't celebrate, what was the best gift you've ever received?) We don't celebrate, so my favorite gift ever was a 3.5 week vacation to Australia my mom took me on as a high school graduation present.
