How far are you now? 33,3 Symptom check: I smell everything. Also, moving is hard. What and when is your next appointment? Today with the MFM Anything you’d like to share with the group? I got spoiled on my baby's sex last week and I'm still upset about it. I hated that nurse before and I just hate her more now.

1. How far are you now? 4 weeks 5 days 2. Symptom check: Exhausted, nauseous about half the time, somewhat picky appetite. Cramps and light spotting have stopped since adding Endometrin. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Beta #3 tomorrow morning. Hoping it's an awesome number so we can feel confident assuming the best! (doubling time was great but we started verrry low, 16.7 at 14DPO). ***LOSS WARNING*** 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? With 4 previous losses and low betas, I don't understand why I'm feeling so relaxed and happy, but I am. I am over the moon. Just enjoying every moment with LO and trusting God that it will be okay, no matter how it turns out. Oh, Rama , I'm so sorry! That is so disappointing. I would not be able to get over that easily. I hope you end up with sweet new surprises from your LO every day once they arrive and the ruined surprise becomes a distant memory soon!

sunshiney I'm so glad everything is looking good so far! I'll admit I stalked you a little bit before posting because I saw some of your posts last week where you were worried because I didn't want to tag you into something that would trigger you. I hope this is your rainbow (and with an amazing dad!)!

Thank you, Rama, that was very thoughtful of you! I was quite devastated thinking about the low first number, but am just so thankful to still be here this week!

Rama I’m so sorry the nurse blew the surprise! sunshiney I’m glad you’re feeling relaxed and things are off to a great start! AFM 1. How far are you now? 20+1 2. Symptom check: Nausea and vomiting, I’m getting out of breath very easily, stuffy nose, and feeling large. 3. What and when is your next appointment? we had our a/s today and baby girl looks great! She still loves to snuggle with her placenta, so it was hard to get pics of her face, but we are so thrilled she looked great, is measuring on track and weighed in at 13 oz! 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I can’t believe I’m halfway there!

birch113, I can't believer you are already half way. How exciting! sunshiney, I hope you get good beta news. I am glad you are feeling relaxed. 1. How far are you now? 35 weeks, 4 days 2. Symptom check: nausea and vomiting, tired, and sore 3. What and when is your next appointment? I have biweekly NSTs on Mondays and Thursdays, my next appointment is with the OB on the 21st. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I am trying to enjoy the last few weeks of this pregnancy the best I can. I am ready to be done, but definitely feeling a little sad that I will never be going through this again, no matter how rough pregnancy is on my body.

Rama, I can't believe she let you know! I'm sorry. sunshiney, I hope you got good news today. Fingers crossed for you. birch113, yay for halfway! I'm almost there but it still feels so far away. woodenshoes, it's hard when you know it will be the last time to experience pregnancy but you'll be snuggling your baby soon. How far are you now? 18+5 Symptom check: Not much now. What and when is your next appointment? Anatomy scan on the 21st with MFM Anything you’d like to share with the group? I've had an eventful weekend. I went in for a cervical check on Friday and found out my cervix had shortened considerably. I wound up at the hospital for an urgent cerclage. The doctor was pretty happy with how it turned out so fingers crossed it holds for about 17 more weeks. I'm just thankful I insisted on doing regular checks.

bananas22, I am glad that that was caught and taken care of. I hope it doesn't cause you any more difficulty the next 17 weeks.

1. How far are you now? 25 weeks, 3 days2. Symptom check: Getting kicked in the bladder like crazy, so making 150 bathroom trips a day. I've actually started to leak a little urine. Scared the bejeezus out of me, I thought it was amnio fluid. But the doctor checked. 3. What and when is your next appointment? They scheduled my extensive ultrasound with the MFM to check his kidneys for the 2nd. Same weekend I do my glucose test.[/b] 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I'm enjoying getting his nursery together. We went with a dinosaur theme. I've been on such a wild cleaning and organizing kick. Rama , I'm furious on your behalf. I hope she apologized at the very least. bananas22 , Here's hoping that's all you need, and it all holds on. woodenshoes , I think about that a lot too. I don't know if I'll be doing this again so I'm equal parts tired of it and equal parts sad I may not experience it again. birch113 , Yay for being on track! Our tiny human didn't want to show his face either. He kept throwing his hands up and covering it. sunshiney, Fingers crossed for you! I'm glad you're feeling better about it

So I haven't been keeping up here sorry, so happy to see so many people here! Rama the same thing happened to me at an ultrasound at 34 weeks. It sucks but it was also nice to start thinking of life with (in my case) a little boy. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is picture perfect!
