Age: 27
Height: 5'2
Weeks pregnant: 4w4d
Baby is the size of a: Poppy Seed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM, DD turned 2 in June.
Team: Finding Out
Appointments: 9/15 for initial OB, but I actually have an appt w/ my PCP on Friday....wondering if I can ask him for an early ultrasound🤔
Symptoms: Sleepy, heartburn, forgetfulness
Milestones: Missed my period. But that's about it so far.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I set 2 goals for H and I to accomplish before baby gets here- both involve $$. I want to beef up our savings for ML and pay off our furniture purchase (we're on track to do it before interest accrues but I liked it as a goal!). Thankful this pregnancy seems to be moving slow as molasses.

Age: lolz no.
Height: average
Weeks pregnant: 5-5
Baby is the size of a: dot snail (Ovia' unusual animals!)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green. My mom is pissed we're doing this again.
Appointments: not for another month 😭
Symptoms: no appetite, nausea, horrific bloating
Milestones: NA.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I hate first tri so much. I'd rather do third tri twice than first tri once. I keep getting invited to happy hours and have no idea how to hide the fact that I'm not drinking. I'm hoping these are all "get your drink at the bar" get togethers vs sit at a table. I can just order seltzers with lime if it's the former but we usually all share a few bottles of wine at the table. HALP.

Baby is the size of a: sesame seed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm DD is 4
Team: On the fence. I want to be green, DH wants to find out
Appointments: 9/6 confirmation u/s and first apt stuff
Symptoms: heartburn, sore boobs, exhaustion
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm annoyed at DH. He asked me for a list of things to do while DD and I were out of town for two weeks. I wrote the list on our white board in the kitchen, so it was in a visible spot. He did one thing on it. I wouldn't have minded so much if he didn't ask for the list, and some of the things on the list were remembering to take trash out and do dishes.

I decided to skip the wedding of DH's cousin in mid-Sept because I knew I would feel awful and have to really work to hide the fact that I was not drinking. I am also so very over this bloating nonsense! Make it stop.

Age: 34 Height: 5'3" Weeks pregnant: 10w5d Baby is the size of a: petit four FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm Team: finding out Appointments: 8/31 Symptoms: still tired, still having crazy mood swings, suddenly boobs are sore, forgetfulness Milestones: Rants/Raves/Vents: just sick of being tired and crabby! Leaf 🌱 can you get to your happy hour place early? i always tried to do that so i could talk to server first so i could just order my gin and tonic as usual with everyone there. just make sure to have them put it in g&t glass not tall water glass. i just moved back home when we found out i was pregnant and hiding it got to be such a pain - lots of "g&t's" and i also had my husband fill his empty beer cans with water. i know it seems overkill, but it was necessary since me turning down a drink is a huge red flag (i swear i'm not that big of a lush!). i also prefer wine, but i don't think there is really a way to fake that when out. they do make some pretty legit looking na wine these days if you are having people at your house. ok i guess i do sound like a lush now oh well. eta: forgot to add forgetfulness to my symptoms😂

Baby is the size of a: brussel sprout
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: green
Appointments: first OB appt this Friday
Symptoms: a little less nausea and breast soreness (yay!), acne and oily skin (ugh),
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: My friends have been badgering me to tell them names we're considering but... no. I've already been in 2 separate conversations where names we like have been brought up by others and someone has been very vocal about how much they hate the names. I just don't want to talk names with anyone IRL because I really don't want any opinions or hearing about how someone has already "called" that name and I can't use it.

polson, I didn't realize how much of a lush I apparently am until I turned down a drink at a gathering right before I found out I was pg. Makes me wish I would have started skipping some drinks here and there before pg so it wasn't so obvious when I actually was pg!

clementine i am also planning on keeping our possible names a secret irl. i find even when people are being polite about them you can still tell when they don't like it and i just don't need that. you can your kids whatever you want, please don't share your opinion on mine! i always just say we've talked about it but don't have anything set and leave it at that. also - yes, sporadic yet strategic not drinking ahead of time would have been smart!

Team: Green. My mom is pissed we're doing this again. My MIL is pissed for the opposite reason. Last time we were team green because it was important to my H and to his parents. This time I said heck no to that. She actually thinks she still has the option though of not finding out. LOL, no. I am not playing the pronoun game for months. She's going to be my first text when we find out hahaha.

clementine ya my friend asked "how long till we hear the name?" And I know she doesn't expect us to tell till birth cause that's normal in my culture. People are extremely rude if they expect to know the name before birth. I don't mind when parents tell, but it's not mandatory! ! ! ! ! ! Leaf 🌱 & cornpop lolno at the level of say mom moms and MILs think they have. My MIL is the sweetest, but I'm apprehensive about my mom. She'll pry start preaching anti-vax to me when we tell them. Afm I'll post when DH does my silhouette shot tonight.

polson , I didn't realize how much of a lush I apparently am until I turned down a drink at a gathering right before I found out I was pg. Makes me wish I would have started skipping some drinks here and there before pg so it wasn't so obvious when I actually was pg! Last time I was pregnant, not having a glass of wine during a work function is what made a few of the older women suspicious. Also, at another function that was a family function my DH and I played rotate the beers as we were given additional drink tickets from my pregnant coworker. This was just days after I found out I was pg. I know exactly how you feel. I am skipping a work function next week so that this doesn't happen again. Yup, pretty sure everyone thinks I am a lush...

Age: 31
Height: 5'3
Weeks pregnant: 9w1d
Baby is the size of a: cherry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: PINK
Appointments: I had my first OB appointment yesterday. It went well! I really like the doc--she is very straight forward, data driven, and also kind. She did a quick ultrasound without my asking because she knew from a look at my file that I was probably dying inside from anxiety (I was). Baby girl's heart was beating away. It was awesome. I have my Integrated screening in 3.5 weeks, so that's whats next.
Symptoms: Mild nausea, fatigue. Teeeeny bit of abdominal growth starting. Due to my endo and IVF meds, I am quite familiar with bloating, and this ain't it. But my pants still fit well, so I'm hoping I have a lot of time before I need to go public.
Milestones: Every single day. <3
Rants/Raves/Vents: H told his parents this week. I'm grateful to him for doing it without me, and for telling each of them that I'm feeling cautious and not ready to celebrate quite yet. He is so respectful of what I need, and I'm thankful for it.

I'm late but I still want to play this week!
Age: 34
Height: 5'4
Weeks pregnant: 10+1
Baby is the size of a: strawberry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: BLUE
Appointments: I have my first OB appointment on Monday.
Symptoms: Mild nausea that comes and goes. So much bloat, mostly from the meds. My boobs are huge, like embarrassingly so.
Milestones: I graduated from my RE last week! Such a good feeling. And we brought out the home doppler on Sunday and heard the HB! It's nice to know if my anxiety gets the better of me I can use it to calm me down (since I've been lucky enough to have weekly ultrasounds at my RE up until now).
Rants/Raves/Vents: I cannot wait to be done with first trimester. It's truly the most anxiety inducing.
