PGAL/PAIF Check-In 2/1

[LadyNymeria]

How far along are you? 8w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically - Still pretty good. Tired all the time and getting to be hungry all the time, but otherwise ok. Nausea seemed to be getting worse last week, but I had none all weekend in Orlando and other than a slight queasy feeling this morning today has been fine too. So either I'm extremely lucky, or the SeaBands are just really effective for me (I've been wearing them all day every day). Emotionally - Also doing ok. I tear up really easily, but oh well. Once in a while I have a short moment of "OMG I hope everything is ok in there", but I try to focus on the fact that I had a good u/s and have no indications anything has changed negatively, and that seems to help me relax again.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Nothing today.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? We found out at 8 weeks exactly last time that we had lost the baby. I am now past 8 weeks. The good u/s was more reassuring than anything, but it's nice to be past that 8 week point.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter? I'm ready for Spring, even though we haven't had much of a Winter yet. I would like one big snow storm for my dog's sake though since snow is one of his favorite things.

I'm sorry you have to handle a combined loss milestone/loss date coming up theophania. Sounds like a good day to do something nice for yourself to help you through the day.

And while I'm sorry you're so sick, I'm glad it's helping curb the anxiety a bit. I've heard the peak for sickness tends to be around 9-10 weeks for most pregnant women (not a dr so I can't guarantee its truth), so hopefully you have a wonderful appointment to calm your PgAL brain, and your nausea/vomiting eases off shortly after.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter? Spring cannot get here soon enough. Not a fan of cold weather.

theophania hugs, I also found out about our loss at our 10week appointment. Sunday will be that day for me. Hoping we all have good thoughts the next few days.
Glad you are past your 8 week point and extra glad about the good ultrasound. That always helps me too.

Hi everyone. Hugs to all who need them. Loss milestones can just be so tough to get through.

How far along are you? 6w2d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Feeling pretty crappy physically lots of nausea and fatigue. Emotionally okay because I'm so far off from my first appt.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Anyone else struggling to drink water? It just makes me feel so sick.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? 2/11

How far along are you? 7w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? ---Physically fine which is scary but I try not to think about it. Emotionally ok again I do my best yo try and stay out of my own head. That way leads trouble. Conner's birthday went by without ant major drama which was nice. I was actually so tired I slept most of the day.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask?---- I had a dream I dropped off my baby at a church last night to be watched while I worked and then forgot her. This is not ok. I have enough issues without my mind playing with me also.
Also my last appointment was basically just a confirmation appointment and in no way really helpful. However I haven't received a call about my blood work so I guess no news is good news and all my levels are good.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments?my next appointment wont be until the 22 when they'll do an ultrasound I really don't want to wait that long.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter? Spring. Winter can suck it.

How far along are you? 7w/2d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Trying not to freak out. I hate being in limbo. Part of me wishes we would not have had that U/S last week because all it did was raise more questions/give me anxiety.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? No

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next U/S is still many days away.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter? Definitely spring. but we are suppose to get 6 inches of snow today.

How far along are you?
7w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)?
Physically fine, a tiny bit nauseous every now and then and extremely tired. Emotionally I'm still a wreck. I want this so badly and I'm afraid to believe it's going to be fine.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask?
Not this week

Any upcoming milestones or appointments?
I had another ultrasound yesterday and baby is measuring right on track with a strong HB of 154. My RE is so nice and is going to let me come in one more time next week before I transfer over to my OB. So ultrasound on Tue 2/9.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter?
Spring!

cbowl - Once in a while I find too much water makes my stomach turn, so I try to sip small amounts continuously throughout the day. Maybe try some fruit in your water? That might help.

lovetruly2015 - I'm glad you were able to get through Conner's birthday ok. Sorry about the dream.

callmeKD - Sorry you're stuck waiting a while for your follow-up. Hope the next couple weeks fly by for you.

frenchteachermama - That's great your RE is giving you extra checks. I hope they're helping ease your fears at least a little bit.

How far along are you? 5w6d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? I've been stressing out this week. About 3 days before getting my BFP and for about a week after I had increasing but still mild symptoms (nausea, cramps, backache, breasts felt fuller) but that all went away about 4 days ago. I'm still early in pregnancy so I'm trying not to worry too much, especially because I was almost 7 weeks before ms hit with my son but I can't help worrying that I pretty much have no symptoms other than being tired. I feel like once you have a loss, you are never the same during pregnancy and I can't help but worry. I've been going back and forth about calling the OB and trying to get in early or just waiting it out.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? See rant above.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? My appointment is not until the 18th.

QOTW: Are you hoping for Spring to come soon or 6 more weeks of winter? I'm done with winter and snow. Bring on the spring!

MrsJepp - Being tired all the time is my only consistent symptom too. Well, that and no period anyway (don't forget that is a symptom too!). It was making me nervous at first too, but I try to remind myself that it doesn't mean anything is wrong and I'm lucky to not be feeling like crap.

Thank you! I think my biggest concern comes from the fact that any symptoms that I did have, have faded away and I don't know if that's normal or not. However, I also know that every pregnancy is different and this one doesn't have to be like my previous ones. FX for both of us!  

[MrsJepp]

theophania - Thank you! That does make me feel better!
