Assuming it would be far in the future, I'd ask what career I should choose. I have changed my mind so many times. I don't want to go back to school until I know what I want to do (and we're done having kids/they're in school).

vvvvvfee , How old is your DS? I was thinking about taking DD with us to the a/s next Friday. She is 6.

We're planning on taking DD next Monday, she's 3.5 - lady I made the appointment with sounded like it was very normal.

[vvvvvfee]

klw , he is 5 1/2 (in K) but he's really high-energy and kind of a pest, lol.

ETA: my OB office encourages you to "bring the family" to the anatomy scan- DH was there with both kids, and my mom, too.

[klw]

Ok, great. I am not sure if H will be able to be there, but DD will love it. She already has the day off of school for an in-service day.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: blue

Any Upcoming Appointments?: a/s march 16

Symptoms: swelling, insomnia

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: swelling is making me nervous, with DS i didn't start to swell until the third trimester. Coupled with the swelling started the day I started the Wellbutrin the dr gave me because my mental state has been so bad. However my parents were visiting last week so I did eat out a lot more than normal. Im hoping it's just extra salt? Chugging water today and reassessing in a few days.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? I would ask what I thought was important to share with me

If you could change anything what would it be?

[cornflakegirl]

pbandjelly I really miss my wine, it's so hard to give that up lol, especially going into the summer.

PennyCandy my blood pressure has been low too. That's probably explains my fatigue as well. I remember the same thing happened with DS.

klw I haven't been feeling much movement either. I was starting to worry about it a lot but then at my a/s I found that I have an anterior placenta. The baby is chilling directly behind it which explains the lack of movement. The doctor assured me that I will start feeling her soon. I hope you get some answers at your appointment.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Symptoms: Bloating/gas, more frequent RLP, allergies starting to pick up

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: My 2nd try on the 24-hour urine test came back normal! The first time I did it, there was too much urine and they couldn't get a good reading on it.

How big is baby?: avocado

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: blue

Any Upcoming Appointments?: had a regular dr appointment yesterday. Nothing exciting.

Symptoms: Still nauseous some days, especially in evenings.

Milestones: I'm kind of freaked out that there are only 25 weeks left. I don't know if that counts as a milestone.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I've gained 15 lbs already and I'm only 15 weeks and my dr was snarky about it. I gained 35 total with DD. I was a "normal" weight before getting pregnant and I know weight gain is just what happens but I also know I eat a lot of junk and don't exercise enough. I hate getting weighed. It puts me in a tailspin. I don't own a scale at home because of this.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? What would you go back and change?

How big is baby?: lemon

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 4th

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: green

Any Upcoming Appointments?: 3/15

Symptoms: irritability is under control, thank goodness. RLP, sciatic nerve pain, growing belly. Maybe movement.

Milestones: second tri!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: We went out to dinner with one of my husband's good friends who is back from CA for the week. He asked when MH is getting snipped. To which MH replied, "I should do it this year; we've already met our deductible." I honestly never even thought about him getting snipped, but if he's willing, who am I to say no? My feelings just caught me off guard because I've always been very cautious about the idea of permanent birth control. It feels good to finally feel like our family is complete.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? This is tough. I don't want to know about anything bad unless I could change the outcome. Right now my career is a big uncertainty. I'd like to know if I continue to do what I'm doing now, and if I feel fulfilled doing it.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? What is your biggest regret and how would you have handled it differently? (This is assuming I get to return back omito present day and make changes).

We took DS to ours (he's 4.5). He did okay but he was more concerned about me than the baby. I think he had a hard time telling it was the baby when they were taking all the measurements. We did have to break the news to him, though, that he won't be able to have a baby in his belly.

[goldenbird]

bananas22 Yes! My ab muscles at the top have actually been sore since just after getting my BFP. I can really feel it by the end of the day.

Any Upcoming Appointments?: A/s next week

Symptoms: Hungry. Uncomfortable sleep. Baby kicking my cervix like she thinks she's a champion taekwondo star.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I am always hungry. But nothing ever sounds good. It's the bane of my existence right now.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? What do you regret?


catladymeow, I despise getting weighed. According to my BMI, I started this pregnancy overweight, so I was told to only gain 20lbs, but they don't take into account that I have a decent amount of muscle on my legs. I mean, I had a flat stomach. Squishy, but flat. I am trying to keep my weight down this time though, as I gained 48lbs last time and I was so miserable at the end.

How big is baby? According to today’s estimates, baby A is 9oz and baby B is 8oz

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink x 2

Any Upcoming Appointments? Had my first MFM appointment this morning and I see my OB friday. Both babies looked great, but I have to go back every 2 weeks for the next several weeks to monitor growth since baby B is below 10th percentile. They said it’s not anything to worry about yet. That’s just their cutoff to begin monitoring for twin to twin transfusion syndrome (she suggested I not google that). She was very clear not to worry since today was only a snapshot and what we really need is an overall picture of their growth. So, I’ll get a peek at them every other Wednesday until at least May.

Symptoms: headaches and RLP are the most annoying rightness now, but I’m still having really awful nausea days too.

Milestones: I guess I’m a little past the halfway mark to delivery since the MFM agrees that will be 37 weeks at the latest.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? MH sand DD both felt outside kicks last night so that was really exciting. DD said, that’s my sister—she wants to play with me!

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask? When do I get to sleep again?

[ohreally]

imapenguin, omg! Your heart must have melted hearing your DD talk about her sister like that.

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?:
Don't know until 20 weeks

Any Upcoming Appointments?:
3/12 for my 16 week apt. I'm dying to find out the sex. It feels like an eternity away.

Symptoms:
This is such a weird symptom that I've never experienced before, but my skin is so extremely dry. Like, the skin on my boobs is flaking off in huge chunks and they're so incredibly itchy and uncomfortable. My skin has been dry all around, though. My lower stomach is starting to feel heavier and more uncomfortable. I have very little patience.

Milestones:
Nothing really until 20 weeks

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:
None, really. I was so careful with my diet up until I hit 12-13 weeks. Although it's still not horrible, I'm way more relaxed about it now and need to get it back under control.

GTKY: If you could travel to the future and ask yourself one question (only one), what would you ask?
I suppose if I had any regrets and if there was anything I would change.
