Weeks Pregnant: 7+6

Baby is the Size of a: Raspberry

Appointments: I go on Thursday for a weekly US with my fertility doctor. I believe I am going to see him this week & then next week and then will be released to my OB. I already have my OB appt on 3/25.

How are you feeling? So tired. Still having trouble with nausea...nothing too extreme, but it's a battle to keep myself from getting hungry (since that's when I get in trouble). I try to fill up on protein & veggies, but that literally makes no dent in my hunger and the only thing that does are....carbs. I also am battling with constipation. Stool softeners with laxatives works....maybe a little too well!

Rants/raves? Rant - I am so tired of being so congested and having dry mouth when I wake up in the morning. Literally the worst.

GTKY: What's your go-to easy meal to cook when you haven't planned anything? Egg roll in a bowl!

Weeks Pregnant: 9w1d

Baby is the Size of a: Jack/pecan

Appointments: made an ultrasound appointment for 12 weeks. I put in a request for my AL brain for around the time we would start telling people.

How are you feeling? Tired, nauseous, and I get a gross taste in my mouth whenever I’m not eating. I had it with all my pregnancies but with my kids it was more metallic. This time it’s a sour/gross/ horrible morning breath feeling which make nausea even worse.

Rants/raves? See above.

GTKY: What's your go-to easy meal to cook when you haven't planned anything?
Spaghetti or take out.

whatsit, I am having the same thing with the taste in my mouth! I don't remember having this before. Sometimes I think I'm not even nauseous anymore, it's just this taste thing.

Weeks Pregnant: 11w1d

Baby is the Size of a: large strawberry? lime? those seem like pretty different sizes?

Appointments: 1st tri screen, first meeting with MW this friday

How are you feeling? Ok. Nausea is controlled, still tired.

Rants/raves? I have an appointment for the vaccine! My MW/OB practice apparently got some and I'm getting the first dose after my friday appointment. So thankful and excited! Also, I found out my 5 year old gets to start back at school in person in a couple weeks. It's only 1 day per week to start, but I'm thrilled for him. It's been a long year.

GTKY: What's your go-to easy meal to cook when you haven't planned anything? Frozen pizza? Take out? Lol.

I’m glad I’m not alone but sorry for the grossness. Apparently it’s called Dysgeusia? I’m just counting down the days. 🤢

Also- congrats on the vaccine! So exciting!

Today is also my loss milestone so I’m having a bit of anxiety and over analyzing every little twinge in my body.

Weeks Pregnant: 6w5d

Baby is the Size of a:Sweet Pea

Appointments: I had ultrasounds at 5w3d and 6w3d because I had bleeding and **FREAKED OUT** and they brought me in to make sure everything was good. 6w3d the US was right on track and everything looks good... even saw a fluttering heartbeat!!

How are you feeling? Exhausted! some nausea but overall good.

Rants/raves? I got my first vaccine shot on Monday! My OB approved it!!

GTKY: What's your go-to easy meal to cook when you haven't planned anything? smoothies or takeout

Hugs whatsit, those milestones are hard.

chappy3, congrats on the vaccine! Any side effects or anything?
And sorry about the bleeding, that is SO stressful. I'm glad they're able to monitor you and that everything looks good. Hopefully it will resolve quickly.
