How far along are you? EDD? 9w1d, due date Aug 13
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, it seems like my nausea is actually kind of increasing. I am getting some RLP, very sore breasts, and now a really stuffy nose. Emotionally, I am kind of OK, mostly because I am trying to keep a really detached attitude until our genetic testing comes back. This is likely extremely unhealthy. An online friend I have from a different place was pregnant with the exact same due date as me after IVF and the heartbeat stopped last week, so it hit me hard.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? My first consult with the MFM doc to go over testing options is on January 10th. I graduated from the RE's office. Even though this was a natural pregnancy, because it happened right before we cycled, they followed me.
Any other word vomit to share? The only other pregnancy that has made it this far for me has been my daughter who is now 3 yo. Strangely, I feel like that's both reassuring, and also causes anxiety. We are now in uncharted loss territory, as well as in a "safer" zone. PGAL is a fucking mindfuck.
QotW: What is your favorite excuse to use while pregnant? "I am tired."
