How far along are you? EDD? 31+5, 2/15
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I’m sore and having a hard time with being on my feet all day. I’m lucky I have such an easy class this year because they will quietly do their work without me being right on top of them and it lets me sit down a little bit each class. Definitely over the discomfort. I am stressing about my weight gain, but I’m also completely starving all the time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Eight months on Thursday, that makes things start to feel pretty real 😯 My next OB appointment is after Christmas. I wish I could see my regular OB, but she will be on vacation. I much prefer her vibe to the other doctors and midwives I’ve see at the practice.
Any other word vomit to share? Braxton-Hicks are weird and I don’t like them. #mature
QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why? On work days I usually have about half an hour in the morning to drink my coffee and mess around on my phone. It’s a nice oasis of calm. If DH isn’t working I like the evening best, but that’s only twice a week.

How far along are you? EDD? 38w EDD 1/2 RCS scheduled 12/28 How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - big and uncomfortable. I've been having cramps each night along with most of her movement is at night as well. Emotionally - pretty good. Her movements have changed in the past few weeks which had me worried but I think it's because she's so big. Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Last OB appointment was this morning. I am not dilated but my cervix is soft and her head is down right behind my C-section scar. Any other word vomit to share? This is my last week of work and I wish I had some spare days that I could take this week because it's slow at work and I have a ton to do at home. QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why? 5pm when I leave work I also like lunch because I catch up on news online while I eat.

I just did last weeks. 🤦♀️ My answers are mostly the same.
How far along are you? EDD? 9w 3d. July 21st.
How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically: ready to be done with first tri.
Emotionally I'm doing okay. I am having some feels about my sister being due this week (and possibly in labor today!). Our due dates were 9 weeks apart. So, it's hitting me that I should be close to delivering too... but I'm not, I'm starting over. Then I feel guilty for feeling this way. Like feeling this is somehow betraying the baby I'm pregnant with. Idk.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have an appt with the nurse tomorrow. We'll do the Doppler (which I already do daily).
QOTW: What is your favorite part of the day and why?
Mornings for sure. Specifically when DS first gets up and we cuddle in the recliner. He is the sweetest.

How far along are you? EDD? 8w1d, 07/30/18
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically like crap thank your 1st trimester. Emotionally I’m doing my best to stay patient. I’m in the period of now knowing if everything is ok because it’s still too early for the Doppler.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? 12/29
Any other word vomit to share? Not too much this week. Just looking forward to not feeling nasty all day.
QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why? Right now it’s bedtime. By the time it rolls around I am so ready for it.

How far along are you? EDD? 25,4 EDD 3/30 How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, I'm achey and my bones crack like a bad horror movie. Also, exhausted pretty much always. Emotionally, it's been a really hard weekend and dealing with all the anxiety and feels that comes from said hard weekend are not helping my anxiety about baby. I still worry about movement on pretty much a daily basis. Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Today with MFM! And tomorrow with OB. Any other word vomit to share? I think I'm going to talk to the MFM today about counseling. I can't be this anxious all the time and with all the shit happening outside of my pregnancy, I just need a safe place to unload. Also, hopefully, I'll find a therapist I jive with so if I do develop PPD (which MH and I really think I will), I'll already have a good relationship to go to to deal with it. QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why? Getting home. Taking my pants and bra off are probably the highlight of every day forever amen.

I’m sorry you are dealing with so much anxiety, Rama. But it sounds like you are being proactive about it and that’s great. I feel you in the cracking bones. Getting out of bed in the morning involves a disconcerting amount of crunching noises.

How far along are you? EDD? June 30, 2018. 12w3d
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I think symptoms are starting to ease up a bit. I'm having some nausea, but that might also be because I had a gastro bug over the weekend too. Literally couldn't keep anything down on Saturday at all. Otherwise, I'm just feeling a lot of pressure in my mid abdomen, which I'm assuming is from the uterus moving up. Like being super bloated, but not quite the same. Emotionally, I'm okay. Seeing baby being super active on Friday was really relieving to me. But it's also my EDD for my first loss today, so there's that.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I guess I made it to the 2nd trimester? My next appointment isn't until next month.
Any other word vomit to share? I've been feeling my uterus every day to see how high it's climbing. It's interesting to me =) Also, I think I might have felt some fluttering last night? I know it's super early, but apparently with an especially active baby it's possible. My placenta is behind baby, so it's right up at the front, and I was kind of laying on my belly and I just felt something that felt like a little tickle from inside, with no gas that followed lol
QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why? Usually between 5 and 6 in the evening (so, now). MH leaves for work around 4, so generally by 5 I'm done all my get home from work things and it's my time to take my shower and relax and catch up on my shows. It's also when I generally take a nap if I'm feeling extra tired lol

How far along are you? EDD?
24w1d, 4-9-17
How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically, I've been pretty crampy. I know I need to up my water intake. I started having some pain in my pelvic area. I know baby MG hangs out pretty low and I'm attributing the pain to that.
Emotionally, I've been struggling with some bad anxiety, especially during the moments when baby is quiet. I wish I could relax a bit.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I had my OB appointment today. My OB said my belly is measuring between 25-26 weeks, but also said I need to start gaining a little more weight (never had that problem before)! She had a hard time finding baby's heartbeat today too, but we did find it eventually and he's been very wiggly all evening.
Also, Vday yesterday! Yay!
Any other word vomit to share?
I don't think so.
QotW: What is your favorite part of the day and why?
I do home daycare and sometimes have other people kids at my house for 11-12 hours in a day. My favorite part of the day is when all daycare kids go home.
