How far are you now? 25,3 Symptom check: Fatigue both mentally/physically, acheyness, my bones crack a lot holy balls, more peeing What and when is your next appointment? Tomorrow with perinatology! Anything you’d like to share with the group? I had a rough weekend. Trying to keep myself together enough that I'm not useless, but I know H is picking up a lot of slack. I'm so grateful for him and I feel a bit of guilt for not being capable of keeping up, even though everyone (including me) knows that it's unreasonable for me to be able to continue to do everything that I was able to do before being pregnant.

1. How far are you now? 27 weeks, 3 days 2. Symptom check: nausea that I push through every day, exhaustion, aches and pains 3. What and when is your next appointment? 12/26 with the OB (well the PA) 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I can't believe I am almost in the 3rd trimester. I am glad it is only a 3 day work week before I get two weeks off. I am purely exhausted and so need a break. Rama, I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow. I can completely relate to the guilt of not being able to keep up. Everyone at work keeps telling me to just do what you can do and don't worry about anything else. I can maintain that at work, but at home it is difficult.

Rama GL tomorrow! I’m sorry you had a rough weekend. It’s definitely hard to let others help when you’re used to doing more. Hang in there, mama! woodenshoes holy cow! Hooray for the 3rd tri being right around the corner! Enjoy your time off! fatpony GL tomorrow! AFM, 1. How far are you now? 12+1 2. Symptom check: nausea and vomiting overshadow all the others. I started Diclegis Wednesday night. It helped for two days, but by Saturday I was back to feeling like crap and puking. I was sick until the day I delivered DS, and I’m starting to think it may be the same this time around. 3. What and when is your next appointment? My NT scan will be either this week or next. I’m still waiting for the hospital to call with my appointment. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I’m just a little stressed about nutrition. I’m a vegetarian, and being so sick and averse to basically all the foods, I’m really worried about getting enough protein and other nutrients. I feel like I’m basically getting nothing right now. I’m so bummed Diclegis isn’t doing the trick.

fatpony, I hope the appointment you have today goes/went well. birch113, I am sorry about all the nausea and vomiting. I was sick all the way through pregnancy with my DS, and I am still nauseous with occasional vomiting with this one. I did the max amount of Diclegis early one. I am still taking one of them a day. I have tried to stop it completely, but that is when I usually throw up. I am sorry it doesn't seem to be working. I hope it lightens up some for you.

Rama, hope the appointment today goes well! And be kind to yourself, this is the time to let others pick up some of the slack, and my guess is they will do that happily to help you out woodenshoes, glad you have a short week and then a break to rest up some! fatpony, yay for another June girl! Hope you have a good appointment today birch113, ugh, I'm so sorry that you're so sick and the diclegis isn't helping. I hope it lets up soon! AFM: 1. How far are you now? 13+1, June 25 (the OB pushed my due date back two days because of my 9 week US, but I'm sticking with my retrieval day because I literally know exactly when the egg fertilized) 2. Symptom check: Not much. Starting to have some RLP, SI joint is still hurting, esp. if I lay in certain positions, and I still have some food aversions. I'm also not sure if this is just pregnancy rhinitis or if I'm getting an actual cold. Guess time will tell. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Jan. 15. Just had an OB check yesterday and got to hear little girl's heartbeat! 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I think we're about ready to start sharing the news generally - so far, the only people who know I'm pregnant are the people who already knew about the IVF. I'm still nervous to tell people, but I guess it's about time.

1. How far are you now? 17 weeks, 3 days2. Symptom check: Feeling pretty good. My appetite is back and all Tiny Human wants lately is bagels with cream cheese. But ONLY from the cafe near my office. Having some pretty insane dreams and struggling to sleep comfortably but other than that...3. What and when is your next appointment? Anatomy/anomaly scan January 9th4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I can't believe how many people have sent us Christmas stuff for him - he won't even be born for another five months! HUsband and I think that his presents outnumber ours at least four to one But hey, at least he's really loved!Hoping all of you have a great winter/Christmas/New Years/etc!

How far are you now? 11 weeks! Symptom check: Tired still, not really nauseous anymore but instead getting really bad headaches in the middle of the day What and when is your next appointment? In two weeks on Jan 5th, mostly just a cervical length check but we'll get to see a peek at baby too Anything you’d like to share with the group? Feeling a lot better now that we saw baby moving like crazy at my ultrasound today. LO wouldn't stay still for a second. Even though we have a long way to go to get past my loss date, we've made it past the first major bleeding episode of last time with no red bleeding so that's a huge relief. mela99, Mmm, bagels with cream cheese sound delicious. Glad everything is going well. daisy818, Hopen you aren't getting a cold! birch113, ugh, I'm sorry you aren't feeling good and diclegis isn't helping. I hope it lets up soon. fatpony, I hope your appointment went well. woodenshoes, Enjoy break! I throughly enjoyed our first day today. Rama, hope your appointment went well. Don't stress about doing everything you did before, you are growing a human and it's just temporary.
