Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Finding out
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Symptoms: Really sore boobs, more than usual.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm super emotional. I cried four times yesterday, three of which were while watching S9 of The Office. Jim and Pam are too much for my emotions. I cry over everything. I cried this morning because DD's school had Muffins with Mom and her eyes got red like she was going to cry but was holding it back when it was time for me to leave and it was too much.

**snip** Is anyone else not “out” to others yet? Me. Besides MH, only 3 people know - one of my closest friends who lives states away, our neighbor and her adult daughter. That's it. The only reason they know is that they don't see or talk to any of my other friends or family members so there is no risk of the news spreading from them. Assuming all goes well at our first u/s in 2 weeks, we'll start sharing the news. Perfect timing too since me not drinking on St Patrick's Day would be the equivalent of a giant neon sign over my head. |

Most cases of bronchitis are viral so there's nothing they can do about that. Drs will prescribe antibiotics if they think there's a bacterial infection, and there are pregnancy safe antibiotics, so if you think the cold is more than just chest congestion I'd give your dr a call. MH just finished up a z-pak (azithromycin) for a cold that lead to fluid in his lungs. |

ftwr - My emotions are running high right now too. I'm generally not an easy crier so I can't believe the number of commercials that make me tear up right now. Really hoping it settles down soon.

When is your due date? 10/13 How far along are you? 7 wks 3 days
How big is baby? Raspberry
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Don't know yet
Any Upcoming Appointments? Still none yet, which is nerve wracking. Hoping to know this week if birth center will take me so I can start prenatal care there. Tonight we are doing an open house with the practice I used with DD in case the birth center falls through.
Symptoms: nausea seems to have hit. If I don't eat, if I eat, I'm always feeling yucky. But no puking as of yet. Carbs are all that seem appetizing.
Milestones: still no bleeding, which is huge. This is my loss week so it always makes me nervous.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I too haven't really told anyone. My own mother still doesn't know.
My 2.5 year old keep hitting me in the stomach on accident and it's driving me crazy. An elbow here and a jump there. Makes me nervous. But I guess she will know eventually to be more cautious.

Is anyone else not “out” to others yet? We've only started telling people recently and as we see them. There's not much hiding it at this point. I *look* about 4-5 months along (why?!?!). We still have to tell most of MH's family, which we should do soon rather than showing up to our niece & nephew's birthday party on the 17th and kind of...making the day about us, unintentionally. |

How big is baby? Brussel sprout/poker chip
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Green
Any Upcoming Appointments? NT scan a week from tomorrow
Symptoms: nausea is getting worse. Sore boobs, still super tired
Milestones: saw baby again last week at my appointment because my OB wanted to get the heart rate but it was too early for the Doppler according to her. I wasn't complaining.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
Answer to telling people: we've told a ton of people, but we've also seen the baby 4 times so I feel pretty confident that things will be ok. I am struggling to hide it at this point so I'd rather just tell people than be all awkward around them.

We also haven't told anyone. My BFF is really the only person close to us that knows. I have my first OB appt this afternoon. Should either see or hear baby's heartbeat. Assuming all is well, we'll start telling family this week. We already have plans to go out to my Dad's this Saturday and we just ordered DS's big brother shirt..... I feel both unexpectedly nervous and a little excited to share the news.

How big is baby? poppyseed
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Finding out. A little jealous of everyone who is Team Green, we were with my first child and I loved it, but hubby made me promise we'd find out for our second.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Made an appt for March 21 (8 weeks) with an OB/Midwife practice near my house. Will decide from there if I like them or if I want to go back to the birth center where I birthed my daughter (now a 45 min drive away).
Symptoms: exhaustion, boobs starting to get sore, heartburn like whoa.
Milestones: none
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I can't listen to NPR on my commute any more because I keep crying at stories.

I don't think I necessarily look pregnant, more that just had a huge lunch/put on a few pounds belly. I can still suck it all in, which I do on the reg when walking around at work. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 10. 12w 1d How big is baby? The size of a chicken nugget (or about 2.5") Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Probably team green Any Upcoming Appointments? Saw my MW yesterday. Appointment went as fine as it could while also trying to wrangle a toddler  She tried the Doppler, but wasn't able to locate the HB, but said it's still a little early to find it all the time. She said I could come back in 2 weeks to try again, but I will probably just leave it, mostly b/c my cerclage will be going in around then, so will have a check with my OB then. Symptoms: A lot of nausea, and a little bit of throwing up. Exhaustion and the gas is terrible, (tmi: thankfully it doesn't smell, but it's so painful!) Milestones: Waiting to hear back from my OB's office, but my cerclage could be put in place any time now. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think MH is starting to get a little tired of my nausea and so much falling on him, understandable but still it's frustrating. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/6/2018. 12w 5d
How big is baby? Chicken Nugget!
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Finding out! We were supposed to get our NIPT results last week, which would at least tell us if we've got a Y chromosome in there...but the sample didn't have enough fetal DNA in it...so I had blood drawn again yesterday. SO IMPATIENT!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had my NT scan last week an everything looked great! Babies were measuring 1 day ahead. First real OB appointment is March 9.
Symptoms: Nausea is letting up...just random now. Still SO tired though!
Milestones: SO CLOSE to being out of the 1st trimester!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I look about 5 months pregnant already...

How big is baby? Kumquat or Strawberry
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team green
Any Upcoming Appointments? OB appt this afternoon!
Symptoms: Nausea and exhausted. Some nipple sensitivity returning during nursing. Feeling out of breath and like I just need to sit back down....
Milestones: I passed my furthest loss this past week.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I have THREE big, nasty bruises from injections now. I don't know why I've suddenly been having such bad luck. I'm gonna run out of space if I get any more big ones. I f-ing hate these stupid shots.
I guess I kind of look a little pregnant, but it's all still bloat.
I'm excited for double digits! And that the end of the first tri is finally in sight!

I think I’m the only one (so far)? I think so too, my sister is pregnant with twins due in September as well, but I'm not inviting her here. She is one of those people that I love but I need to vent about her from time to time. |

She is one of those people that I love but I need to vent about her from time to time. I don't blame you at all. I introduced one IRL friend to TCF, the same friend who is 1 of the only 3 people who know I'm pregnant now. I wouldn't want to share this place with anyone else. Like you said, sometimes you just need to vent and I like having a safe place to do so. |
