Hi, ladies. I haven't posted here before but I hope it's ok. February always gets me thinking of my first pregnancy and m/c. I might have had a baby turning 4 right about now. Then I wouldn't have DD who was conceived 6 months after my loss. It's not something I think about a ton but I have bittersweet moments every year.


How far along are you? 15w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Good. Best I've felt this pregnancy.

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

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Milestone would be my due date from my m/c baby mid month.

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? We usually make a special dinner and exchange cards and candy or flowers.

How far along are you? 15+2

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Emotionally I am trying to keep my worrying at bay but thoughts and what ifs creep in and I worry about whether LO is normal and has all the normal things like eyes, ears, a brain, etc.

Physically still dealing with MS and killer heartburn.

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

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? 2/17 is my next appt for the quad screen and regular OB visit. 

My due date for loss #2 is today LO was supposed to arrive 2/8/2014. I lost that LO after hearing a strong HB at 8 weeks.  

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? none at all.

How far along are you? 19+6

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Pretty good, physically. Feeling lots of movement, especially around my cervix. I was quite worried at first, but after my A/S last Thursday and seeing him move and feel those kicks at the same time, I knew he's just being a little roly poly in there. Emotionally, I'm doing better. I felt an immense relief after the A/S but now am coming up on the season of when we learned about my first loss 2 years ago.

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

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next appointment is my OB on 02/25

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? Not in particular. TWD is premiering so we will probably watch that together. Romantic, I know. We'll probably cook something delicious too and call it good. Then maybe on the 15th, we'll go and buy all the candy that's on sale.

How far along are you? 16w3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Physically I'm now constipated again, sacrum is hurting(I think this happens because I end up on my back a lot still), stuffed up, and feeling stuffed (lol). But I am getting more energy! Emotionally Over all good but I usually check on baby daily now since I don't have nausea and feeling like crap as an indicator I am still pregnant.

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? I love my ob office. The specialist still hasn't received my referral and my OB office sent it twice. So now my OB's office just going to call them directly today and they will call me back.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Passed my 3 hour GTT!!! Now just waiting for the results of my NT blood work. Feb 18th is our OB appointment. Somewhere around that time should be my A/S.

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? We will say Happy Valentine's Day and just make sure to make dinner that day.

How far along are you? 16w 5 days

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Getting over yet another cold. Had a fever for over 48 hours last week, just wishing we could have a healthy household

Any Rants/Raves/Questions you'd like to share/ask? Aggravated with ob. Supposed to have started progesterone injections, and I am continually pestering them figuring out if they have them yet etc.

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Anatomy scan on the 23rd

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? We are taking DS to a parents night out at our gym friday night and having a nice dinner out

How far along are you? 15w,3d

How are you feeling (physically/emotionally)? Feeling good! I think I'm hitting that sweet spot where I have some energy and the nausea is gone but all the anxiety and emotional turmoil haven't set in yet. Going to enjoy this for as long as I can.

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

Any upcoming milestones or appointments? Next regular ob appt is on 2/22. My A/S isn't scheduled until late-march, as my OB's practice likes to wait until closer to 21 weeks. I don't really GAF because we are Team Green and I get u/s at every appt anyway. But it does seem like a long ways off!

QOTW: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your SO? We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day (or VD, as we call it). I usually just ask DH to pick me up a discounted box of chocolates the day after and we call it good. There are plenty of other days of the year where we get romantic--VD just isn't one of them.
