How far along are you? 14 W Hello second tri (officially)
How big is baby? a lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? Friday
Any new symptoms or changes? I don't feel nearly as sick anymore. It's nice to wake up in the morning and not feel like I'm going to throw up.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Holy acne! My face is one big greasy, nasty mess. I've always had acne, even as as adult, but it was mostly under control. Not anymore.
Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without? I hate to be one of these people, but I really can't live without my phone/ipad. I usually use these mostly during my free time and at night instead of watching TV.

How far along are you?: 12w3d How big is baby?: Large plum (WTE), toy soldier (Ovia) Upcoming appointments this week?: A week from today. My parents will be in town visiting and will come with me since H can't. I'm hoping there will be a sono involved, my mom would be so excited. I'm going to call them today since I don't actually know what's happening for this appointment. Any new symptoms or changes?: Everything is pretty much the same so far. This weekend I had some more twinges/pressure/not sure how to describe it but not cramps. I read in my Mayo Clinic book this is pretty normal as you get into the 2nd tri, especially if you feel things when you move around/get up too fast. Also - TMI warning - I may not be vomiting but the stuff out the other end sure isn't fun either. I think I spent 20 minutes in the bathroom Friday night before bed (and not for constipation). Rants/Raves/Questions?: I haven't gotten any of my blood work back and my last appt was 2 weeks ago today. The routine stuff should have been back last week and my doc usually doesn't call if everything is normal, so I'm sure that's OK. NIPT they said would be back in 1-2 weeks and I haven't heard anything. Wondering if they haven't gotten it back yet, or maybe since I'm in next week they're just holding it? Trying to not panic about the test showing something (not likely since the PGS testing said normal but you never know). Maybe I'll hear today? If they do call me before next Monday I may ask them to hold telling me the sex until Monday so my parents can hear at the same time. Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without?: H would say my phone. Personally I'd say clothes because you do not want to see me walking around nekkid. (But let's face it, H is totally right.) Edited to add: Re-reading I realized I may have answered my own question about NIPT, since my office usually doesn't call if tests come back normal. I need to calm down lol

cakewench, In terms of blood work, with my son my doctor never notified me if things were normal. I would go with no news is good news. I never did the blood work to find out the sex before my NT scan so I have no advice on that part.

How far along are you? 13w today
How big is baby? A large laduree macaron (pretty boring since last week was a small laduree macaron 😂)
Upcoming appointments this week? Today this afternoon! 😊
Any new symptoms or changes? TMI but along with the usual bloat I've had the worst gas pain at night. I remember having gas pain with DD but it was a little later. Such a glamorous thing!!
Rants/raves/questions? I'm anxious for my appointment today because I'm going to insist on some blood work for my thyroid and I'm seeing a different doctor this time (my doctor is in the Army and is away ATM) so I'm not sure how it will be received. I keep telling myself it's necessary and I know my body best. Plus this will probably be my last appointment at this hospital since we're moving back home at the end of this month!
Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without? Hmmm non-living would probably be my phone! So boring I know.

How far along are you? 10w 3d
How big is baby? Kumquat--and I would argue just as sassy
Upcoming appointments this week? None until 6/14
Any new symptoms or changes? Daily nausea seems to be decreasing, and I've been eating more normally. But I have this weird full feeling most of the time (even though I'm not) and coughing has led to a few dry heaving situations. I also seem to be getting twitches in my leg and the fatigue/exhaustion is still going strong.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. Tired of not feeling 100%.
Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without? Hmm... I'm one of those weirdos whose seldom on my phone, and I'm coming up blank for things I can't live without.

babydsmama I was having horrible gas pains this weekend too! Mine was due to constipation for sure. It's been a few days since I took Zofran or my Prenatals w/iron (switched to gummies) and I'm finally feeling some relief. Also, hope your appointment goes well!

I've made a tiny huge mistake in the pants I am wearing today. They fit the last time I wore them but they are definitely a wee bit tighter right now. Just a few more hours and then they are coming off and I am putting comfy pants on.

So I called my doctor to find out what the next appointment would entail (I don't really know since this is my first). Apparently since we aren't doing the NT screening, I don't need my appointment after all. (Parents will be so disappointed, but I guess I'd rather that than get charged by insurance for an unnecessary visit.) I asked about my blood work since I had the coordinator on the phone and she put me on hold to talk to a medical assistant. She came back on a few minutes later to tell me they will have to call me back since they can't disclose until "someone signs off on recommendations".
I don't know what this means. She said an MA or one of the docs would call me back today.

How far along are you? 13w5d
How big is baby? A jalapeno
Upcoming appointments this week? Nothing this week, but I have a normal appt on Monday morning
Any new symptoms or changes? Man - aversions are strong. Currently, I want NOTHING to do with BBQ. I live in Texas people! W.T.F. body - get your shit together. Other than that, exhausted after chasing my 11 month old all day every day and my bump in large and in charge.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I know on TCF we had a roster - any plans on getting one here? Also, super excited, one of my besties is exactly 8 weeks behind me! She is a first timer so its going to be super fun!
Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without? Besides my phone - work. I know that sounds silly but it keeps me sane. I love having structure every day and the challenges that come with it.

And nobody called me back. Please don't tell me my blood work requires recommendations and then not follow up when you say you will. I am hormonal, goddammit.

I'd be mad and I'd also be calling them back first thing in the morning. Also, I know it's easier said than done, but i'd try not to worry. They're probably not allowed to comment on anything until the doctor signs off.

How far along are you? 12w3d
How big is baby? Plum
Upcoming appointments this week? Finally - NT scan on Thursday.
Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is better most days. My hips have started to click every time I move. I had horrible hip pain with my DD (I couldn't sleep in 3rd tri due to the pain and had to do PT for a couple of months after she was born) so I'm going to ask my OB if there is a way I can head that off.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada
Random: What's the one thing (nonhuman) that you can't live without? Peanut butter. Or books.
