Week/fruit/EDD: 9w3d, Cherry
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: financial appointment this thursday and OB next tuesday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: constipation, dizziness, exhaustion
Rants: none this week!
Raves: Made it past my latest loss date! I'm still anxious though. I am taking progesterone and I've read that it can delay a miscarriage. My first ultrasound was great but I guess I need something to spiral on.
GTKY: Have you bought any maternity clothing yet? Any stores that are your go to? I bought two dresses and a bathing suit but I am not planning to open the packages until after my next appointment. Guess I'm superstitious. I am trying not to buy much this pregnancy because we know this is our last and I have stuff that will work from my last two.

Week/fruit/EDD: 7w4d/blueberry/Nov 21
FTM, etc: 3rdTM
Appointments: Friday! Anxiously waiting
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: mild nausea/lack of appetite/food aversions
Rants: ready to feel hungry
Raves: still not really sick
GTKY: Have you bought any maternity clothing yet? Any stores that are your go to?
I bought one shirt at kohls because I had kohls cash to spend. My mom ordered me two dresses from old navy when she was ordering some stuff for my boys. Target, old navy, some gap, and motherhood were my go-tos. I gave everything I had to my SILs because they needed it and I was sick of it after two same-season pregnancies and I wasn't sure if we were going to try for a third. I have a bunch of target gift cards saved up that I will probably use first. I'm walking around with my shorts unbuttoned, so I may need to get on that. I'm hoping I can get away with mostly summer stuff because it doesnt get cold or even cool off much until late October. Hopefully a good pair of jeans and some maternity leggings and a cardigan or two are all I will need to add at the end.

sarahh What bathing suit did you buy? I have been obsessing over that for some reason and haven't found anything I love.

sarahh What bathing suit did you buy? I have been obsessing over that for some reason and haven't found anything I love. I got a one piece from gap that has a ruffle and is off the shoulder. I had been eyeing it for a while and when I went to order they were out of black in my size so I got black and white striped. I’m hoping it works!

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out!
Symptoms: food aversions, nausea, metallic taste in mouth after eating, fatigue
Rants: I'm so ready for 2nd tri and feeling better. Eating is a big struggle still.
Raves: I've got nothing here today.
GTKY: Have you bought any maternity clothing yet? Any stores that are your go to?
I saved all my maternity clothes from when I was pregnant 4 years ago. Thankfully, they fit the seasons perfect, since I had a Nov DD then too. I did buy a new pair of shorts at Motherhood a few weeks ago.
Most of my clothes are from Motherhood/Destination Maternity. I have a few pieces from Old Navy that I never stopped wearing even after having my son 😂 comfy capris and a cardigan.

Week/fruit/EDD: 6 weeks, chocolate chip, 12/3
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: Still haven’t called 😬 EDIT: OKAY I called and have an appt on the 24th!
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out
Symptoms: nausea, sore boobs, tired, getting up to pee a lot at night.
Rants: My anxiety has been out of control lately since I’m approaching when I had my loss. So I’ve been hyper analyzing my symptoms and driving myself crazy. I haven’t made an appointment yet because I’m worried about having to cancel it like last time and UGH. I know better. And sorry if I’m being too much of a downer.
Raves: on a positive note, I’m still here!
GTKY: Have you bought any maternity clothing yet? Any stores that are your go to? Nope, I have some left over from previous pregnancies but I’m not sure the sizes will work. I’d love to buy new stuff!

sundog, my anxiety is bad too. I was freaking out leading up to my first appointment. Everything at that appointment was fine and since then (it's already been 3 weeks with one more week to go!) I've been second guessing everything, symptom spotting, googling. I don't know how to lower my anxiety level so I am obviously no help.

sundog I've felt super anxious throughout this pregnancy so far as well. I thought I'd be a bit more mellow since it's my 2nd pregnancy, but I almost feel I'm more anxious this time around than last time. You're not alone!

I went over to the pregnant after loss board and copied the mantras into a note on my phone to remind me that today I am pregnant and everything will be okay! I’m working on how to push the intrusive thoughts away; so far all I’ve come up with is to keep myself busy. So I’m going to make cookies with the kids and listen to music and hope the next few weeks fly by!

I thought I'd be a bit more mellow since it's my 2nd pregnancy, but I almost feel I'm more anxious this time around than last time. You're not alone! I definitely feel more anxious this time around. Possibly in part due to the chemical pregnancy I had late Jan/early Feb but also because it feels like I have too much time on my hands. At this point in my first pregnancy I was in the UK and Ireland for 3 weeks, so obviously that helped keep me distracted. By the time I got back and had my first ultrasound I was over 9 weeks so before I knew it I was in my second trimester. I won't lie, I'm a little nervous about tomorrow's appointments.

run4fun, elle, sundog, count me in on the anxiety. I was so insanely worried through my first pregnancy, I swore if I was every lucky enough to be pregnant again I would slow down and appreciate every moment. Nope! I'm not nearly as emotional as last time, but I'm still running a constant race until the next appointment. I swear once you've had any loss or IF experience, its impossible to be calm.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! The ultrasound went great, we saw a flickering hearbeat! Baby is measuring bang on 6 weeks, so it looks like my due date is Dec 4th (my H's birthday), not the 3rd. Going back on May 6th for another ultrasound since by then we'll be able to see a lot more.

Week/fruit/EDD: 9 weeks today
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: Graduated from the RE last Friday, next week seeing the OB.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Green!
Symptoms: Nausea ramped up last week and I've been pretty miserable. Not throwing up, but just this moderate background queasiness that I can't ignore, and escalates up in the evening. Eating constantly helps.
Rants: My poor toddler has a bad rash that I thought was just a stubborn diaper rash but is actually a yeast infection. I feel terrible, because I've been such a zombie lately, normally I would have addressed it with the doctor earlier. Shes on medication now and I hope it clears up soon!
Raves: I'm learning to be more confident when my symptoms wane. Instead of frantically Googling about loss of sickness, I'm using those few hours of non-nausea to get things done and be productive. Also - no more PIO!
GTKY: Have you bought any maternity clothing yet? I bought a pair of under-belly black jeans from Macys and will probably get another of the same brand and start wearing them next week. The buttons of my regular pants are straining. I'm trying to hold out for 10 weeks, seems legit.

Wonderful new elle! @mrsjennings yay for being done with PIO!! I'm on my last vial and if I did the math right, should be done on Tuesday next week. I cannot wait, I'm getting awful knots everytime now no matter what I do. My body is tired of it.

I've had mild-moderate nausea since week 5, but the vomiting finally started this week (I'll be 9w tomorrow). I very nearly threw up in the neighbors yard this morning on my walk. I made it in the house and to the bathroom with no time to spare thankfully!
