When is your due date? How far along are you? Edd 9/19 I am 7w5d How big is baby? Micra chameleon Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Don't know, will know Any Upcoming Appointments? Had one today, have to schedule a butt ton and because I have no medical history here I have to get a pap next week. Symptoms: still hangry and nauseous, much peeing, so sleeps Milestones: Rants/Raves/AW/Questions: I feel like I'm much further along than I actually am. We are going to be pregnant forever. This is the one good thing of the old days before ultra sensitive pregnancy tests, you just didn't know for sure for a little while. Now it's like we know before our bodies do. At my appt my doctor confirmed my dear, I shouldn't eat the fresh cheese. She said it's generally ok, but there have been some listeria outbreaks with it, so not worth the risk. Also no us today. I have a prescription for one for between 11 and 13 weeks. Also my appointment cost 4.50€ and she apologized that I had to pay for that first visit. I don't pay anything from here on out. !!!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/20, 7w4d
How big is baby? tic tac
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Don't know, probably will find out. But I find a small part of myself considering Team Green all of a sudden.
Any Upcoming Appointments? OB history on 2/13
Symptoms: Migraines, really bad migraines. Plus nausea off and on and fatigue.
Milestones: I'll be 8w Thursday and I was 8w when we confirmed my pre-DS loss. It will be nice to be past that point.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I will take any and all suggestions or tips for preventing and/or treating migraines. I was actually feeling decent yesterday before it hit, and even though I laid down almost as soon as the aura started, it still didn't prevent the pain from following and it made the rest of the day suck.

Nymeria I've heard that magnesium helps with migraines. The Google also tells me that the body needs more magnesium while pregnant so that might explain my increase in migraines since becoming pregnant. In my long history with them, I've never been able to fight it off only ride it out. It sucks, for sure.

Thanks for the suggestion ftwr. I do know mag supplements are safe within limits during pregnancy so I'll definitely have to look into that. There's also a decent amount in my prenatal so maybe I just need to try to be better about actually taking it.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I am so nervous for tomorrow. It's still a little early so it will be hit or miss whether they see the heartbeat. I need to see it. I can't believe it's real yet. I'm terrified it's going to be bad news. My anxiety is through the roof. I'm just trying to breathe and get through today.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/10 -- 9w! How big is baby? The size of an Eastern blue-tailed Butterfly (whatever that is) Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? I think we'll be finding out this time, but we were green the last two times so we'll see. I let H decide each time haha Any Upcoming Appointments? Not till the 20th I think it is. Symptoms: Exhaustion and some pretty bad nausea at times. I'm not usually one to take naps but this weekend I fell asleep both Sat and Sun while the kids were doing their nap/quiet times, and then I still passed out on the couch before 10pm as well. Milestones: I've officially made it past our latest MC date so that makes me feel much better. Hopefully that means things will continue as regularly scheduled Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I got some sea bands last week after I ended up puking from what I assume was morning sickness (first time I EVER puked from being pregnant so that was a surprise). I don't know if it's in my head or not, but they do seem to help me.....

That sucks about the cheese blurnette989. Yes all better safe than sorry when a baby is concerned, but that still sucks real bad. Something about 8 weeks sounds pretty good, doesn't it ftwr. It makes it seem like end of first tri is not that far away. brenna - I hope you can find enjoyment in the decreasing nausea. It sucks that something we should be happy about can cause such nervousness! shawnspencer - FX for a wonderful appointment tomorrow! flyliceandcoffee - I didn't have much nausea with DS, but when I did I was convinced the SeaBands helped!

How big is baby? Popping firecracker
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Don't know, will definitely find out.
Any Upcoming Appointments? First appointment with Midwife Feb 23.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Is anyone planning to get a Doppler for home? I had one my first pregnancy, but I can't decide if I want to get one again. I'm not sure if it will make me more nervous or less.

mskatiep - I bought one during my first pregnancy and saved it knowing we planned for a second at some point. I was newly PGAL last pregnancy so having it helped a lot, but I was pretty strict with myself. I didn't let myself even try it until 10 weeks and after that I limited myself to twice a week unless I was having an anxious day. As soon as I could start feeling movement I put it away for the rest of the pregnancy. I plan to try it out at home around 10 weeks this time too. I'm actually a little more nervous about trying it this time because with my last pregnancy I had an u/s at 7 weeks, where this pregnancy I won't get one until 11-12 so I'll be trying it out before I've even seen a baby in there. Which because of that I may end up waiting a bit longer before I give it a shot at home. But with appointments a month a part early on, I did like having it.

I wish I had kept mine, but we weren't sure on another so I got rid of it during a purge. I can't even remember when I started using it last time, but I do remember having to watch YouTube videos to get it right lol. I won't see the midwife till I'm 8 weeks and I'm pretty sure there won't be an ultrasound then. I will probably end up getting one in a few weeks, just for peace of mind and just try to keep myself in check with it. I stopped using it once I felt movement too last time.

Nymeria , I'm sorry you're dealing with migraines! I hope you don't get too many more. mskatiep , I have a doppler from previous pregnancies, I will probably try and use it once the MW or OB can successfully find the HB with theirs. swell , good luck at your appointment on Wednesday. shawnspencer , good luck at your appointment tomorrow! ope you get to see the heartbeat. When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 10, 9W How big is baby? a paperclip Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? team green (I think) Any Upcoming Appointments? Not for a few weeks Symptoms: Nausea almost all the time, throwing up lots (I'm down 15 lbs from my prepregnancy weight at least!), still exhausted. Milestones: Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Saw my OB on saturday and he did a pap, he said that my cervix was already looking a little short, so I'm going to try and take tings extra careful until I have the stitch in place. (will be put in around 14 or 15 weeks). I'm trying not to stress too much though.

oh no flutterfly88!!! I hope the puking slows down for you. Can the doc give you anything for it? good luck today shawnspencer! I can't take antihistamines, so diclectin is out, I tried something else in one of my previous pregnancies, but it also made me so drowsy I couldn't function, so I'm not sure if there's anything out there for me ☹️ If it continues, I'm going to call my MW and see if they have any other suggestions to try. I feel terrible, and then I'm also noticing that it's starting to affect B, as I just have no energy, so MH is doing the majority of the parenting right now. I hate that I have to keep telling him "mommy can't do that, she's feeling too sick".

I hope your doc finds another option for you flutterfly88! I can't remember what options were provided to me by my doc but I feel like there was one or two that weren't antihistamines....
