Had my first MW appt today, and all went well. Now I have to decide whether to do a U/S before the nuchal or not (our NT is scheduled for 2 weeks from today) - my MW wrote me a referral for a dating ultrasound *if* I think it'll make me feel better/help with PGAL brain, but she basically said it was up to me if I want to do it or not. So, I scheduled it for next Weds, just in case I do decide to do it.
TW Loss for this part:
The tough part is that, with our loss, we had a totally normal/great U/S at 8w, and then discovered the loss at 12w. So part of me would almost rather wait until the NT scan so I don't get my hopes up? But then part of me also wants to know now if something is wrong (if something even is wrong right now?)? Gah, I don't know. WWYD, ladies?
Liked for the good appointment! This is obviously a very personal decision, but I always go for the ultrasound. They give me so much peace and reassurance. That is so valuable. Hugs:) I'm sure you'll make the best call for you.
opheliainwaders glad you had a good appointment. That's a tough decision, if it were me I would want the ultrasound - but I totally get why you would wait.
I'd probably take it and have it done within a week before the NT. That would give me the most reassurance. Hugs that your loss is making the decision hard on you.
Thanks, bocaburger, Congrats on the twins My friend had unexpected twins and the "Moms of Multiples" group was super helpful. If there's one near you it might be worth scoping out.

opheliainwaders, I would get the scan, personally. It's a tough call, but I vote for getting as much information as possible. And hugs as you get through the "loss zone." It's a weird place to be and I found myself just barely able to function above basic requirements. This stuff is so hard. I'm crossing everything that you have nothing but good news this pregnancy.
So apparently I have like no PTO left (thanks IVF!) so I have to stay until 5pm to make up time.
I'm really worried now so I'm crossing everything that I can bank my PTO until the kid gets here so I can take some extra time off before I go back to work.
Also why the hell would someone walk by my desk while I'm eating a bagel, chuckle at me and keep walking? Like do you want some or?
I need my patience pants on today.
And I feel like I'm so behind because I haven't even thought about buying maternity clothes yet!
How rude! With my first pregnancy, a coworker would walk by and say "you're eating again?". It ended up being a joke because she knew I was pregnant but it hurts nonetheless.

No one here knows I'm pregnant so it was like "lol look at the fat, bloated lady eat her bagel" which IDGAF but I don't walk by you while you're on your personal calls and chuckle.
My CWs make a lot of comments about what's on your desk. I have jolly ranchers on here because I have that metallic taste in my mouth and my CW just walked by and goes "hmmmm, what are those for?" Um, to freaking eat?

opheliainwaders, I would also go for it! Just for the peace of mind.
After my first u/s earlier this week, and finding out I'm a week and change earlier than I thought, it makes how gigantic my belly is even more astounding. I know it's a combo of 1) never having lost the weight from baby #1, 2) abdominal muscles weaker than before 3) bloat, but still. It's astounding and becoming more and more obvious what is going on even though I am only 7w4d.
This pregnancy is so different from the last. That time around, I had food and smell aversions, but knew basically what I wanted to eat and just stuck to that for the first trimester. This time around, something sounds really great to me to eat, so I cook it or buy it, and then smell it, gag and can't eat it. So I'm perpetually hungry, and sometimes get completely overcome with intense hunger and feel like I need to just eat Del Taco chicken soft tacos or something equally bad for me.

I'm ready to go home now.
Boo, screw those people!
In all fairness, I had my own office miles away from anyone for three years. It was bliss. Then they moved me to this hell-hole. I'm sure this is the social norm in cube farms but it still annoys the shit out of me!
This is also why I won't tell anyone here I'm pregnant, they're nosy enough, they'll just ask.
Today is cramp day for me. It is freaking me out. Even though I hear it over and over and over it is normal. It is probably intestinal cramping from my pants being too tight and me daring to eat food. I need yoga pants STAT

I work in a small office of 12 people and we all are kind of up in each other's business. I got called out at our Christmas party, just days after I had gotten a positive pregnancy test, and I was even drinking mocktails! Everyone knew I would have been just as tipsy as they were, though, and so my boss just straight up asked "Are you pregnant?" and because that's my boss, I had to tell the truth! Pretty soon everyone knew. I think there's only 2 people who aren't clued in and this kind of drives me nuts.

I work in a cube farm and I reckon that type of behaviour would earn you a punch in the face...
i wish!
Btw that is how I know I will be old. When Office Space has it's 20 year anniversary. It is soon btw like 3 years.

I just hope they allow us to WFH one day just so I don't have to be around people. UGH. This one woman's voice is so annoying and every time she is on the phone she goes: "UM, HELLO?! I can hardly hear YOU!"
I tried my full panel mat jeans yesterday and they kept falling down. Good problem, I guess, but I was hoping they would work for the comfy tummy. The darn Bella band rolls down every single time. I gave up on it.
This is my issue. I don't like the low waistband ones later because they always fall down on me, but I can't wear full panel now because the elastic doesn't have anywhere to go but down.
I am wearing tunics with mine because this is me too. I love full panel starting second tri (because at not even 5' my bump starts early), but yeah.
opheliainwaders, we were in the same boat. Our office always schedules a dating ultrasound, and I ended up with 2 because my dates were off. I did feel better after an 8 week this time, when I thought I would still be a total worry wart (now just a mediocre worry wart). I have been trying to focus on the phrase, right now, I am pregnant. Still going to freak out before my NT scan though.
I have the most random symptom - too much saliva. I took my class to church today and as I was singing the songs I had to slurp up the extra spit before I drooled. I bet that was attractive!!!
I'm so happy it's Friday! DD is extra huggy tonight. I guess we missed each other this week.
