When is your due date? How far along are you? 09/17 ; 13W 2ND TRI!!!
How big is baby? Jalapeno
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Will find out
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next Monday
Symptoms: General tiredness. I've been having pretty constant pain in my pelvic region. Dr. Google says I might have SPD. It would make sense seeing as how my hip joints are constantly popping. I'm going to ask the OB on Monday. I've been doing kegals and pelvic floor exercises which helped last night. I also bought a support band on the Amazon and I think I'm going to blow up my exercise ball again.
Milestones: Today starts 2nd tri and I'm thrilled. My boss/friend begged me to set up a registry There's not much on there but she's itching to buy some baby stuff.

Symptoms: ugh the nausea! I can barely walk without feeling like I'm going to puke, and did actually throw up a few times this weekend.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? This nausea is really starting to get to me. I feel like it's never going to end and feel like I can't do anything since I feel so sick. I really hope it ends soon.

How big is baby? Plum / Apricot / Chicken Nugget
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We'll find out at the a/s.
Any Upcoming Appointments? NT scan TOMORROW!! Unless the snow storm is bad and it gets cancelled.
Symptoms: So tired all the time.
Milestones: Assuming I get my NT scan tomorrow we'll start telling family this week. Sunday the 18th will be 13w3d which is ~40 weeks / 3 so I look at it as end of 1st tri.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Just hoping the storm isn't too bad tomorrow. The past couple storms didn't live up to the predictions so I'm hoping we see the same tonight/tomorrow. **knock on wood**

Nymeria I am really hoping we don’t get the snow that is expected. I'm further west so average current predictions have us in a 3-6" or 3-8" band. That's doable. Keeping my fingers crossed the whole storm just gets pulled out to sea. |

How big is baby? A lemon
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? We will find out
Any Upcoming Appointments? No
Symptoms: still a little sick and always tired, but I think that’s just my life and not necessarily from pregnant.
Milestones: 2nd tri!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Why can’t I eat like a normal person. I go from starving to disgustingly full after two bites. I will be sick because I need to eat and then sick because I am full. I haven’t been able to eat dinner in days because I will feel so full after lunch.

Keeping my fingers crossed the whole storm just gets pulled out to sea. I am in central MA, we are still looking to get up to 12 inches but I doubt we will get that much. Every storm this year has been lighter than predicted. I did just listen to the forecast if your appointment is early you may be good. It looks like 1pm Tuesday will be the heaviest. |

Originally I was hearing AM commute would be during the worst so the storm must have slowed up a bit. I'll take it! |

pixiepink24, I totally did that my last pregnancy, it was like it didn't seem real still and I got worried maybe I wasn't actually pregnant so I pulled out my leftover pee stick and peed on it just to feel better. It helped.

Back from my NT scan. It feels so much more real now having actually seen baby.
The NT measurement was on the higher side of normal (avg 2.9mm) but I know the measurement alone means nothing so I'm trying not to worry about it. I had the bloodwork done right after so I have to wait until that comes back. I also know the space grows as baby grows and I was measuring 13w1d-13w2d (I'm 13w tomorrow) so hopefully all is fine. With DS I had the tests done on 2/25 and heard back on 3/4 so I could be stuck waiting a week, but I have another appointment tomorrow (boring 'ol OB physical) so I'll definitely ask about it.

I had my OB physical this morning. Yes...I got to drive all the way there 2 days in a row.
The good news? I admitted that I Googled the NT measurement and had to ask if it was ok. The OB was more than happy with the measurement and said it did not raise my risk level at all and to not worry. Blood work will be back in a week.
The bad? I've been dealing with what feels like a rapid pulse and every 10 beats it feels like it skips a beat for a few days now. I brought it up and figured it was some annoying symptom due to increased blood flow or something, but the OB wants me evaluated ASAP. Fast enough that if she can't get a cardiologist to accept me as a new patient with an urgent appointment I'm going to have to go to the ER. She said it could be nothing, but she can't say it's nothing and it needs to be evaluated ASAP to make sure it's not something that needs to be addressed.

We had our NT scan on Friday. Saw an active little baby with a strong heartbeat moving around in there.
It’s fun and exciting this time around since we didn’t get to experience any of this with DS.

Nymeria Oh yikes, I'm sorry about the scare. Stuff like that is always so nerve-wracking. So good that you thought to bring it up. Always best to get things checked! FX it's NBD. Keep us posted.

So...
After my OB appointment the OB's nurse called my primary and set up an appointment for me this afternoon, which I just got home for. They did an EKG which showed I'm averaging an irregular beat roughly every 10 beats. The signal for a heart beat is supposed to come from the atrium, but my ventricle is currently also sending signals which is causing the irregular beat. It is believed to be PVC, or premature ventricular contractions, which is generally not a big deal. Apparently this can happen during pregnancy and is not that uncommon. My primary consulted a cardiologist over the phone who said you can be medicated to control this, but they'd prefer not to because I'm pregnant. Instead, I go for an echocardiogram tomorrow afternoon to check things out further and have a follow-up with the cardiologist on Wednesday morning.
So while this is being taken very seriously, unless something more comes up from the additional testing, it may just be more of an annoyance than anything to worry about.

Had my NT scan last Friday, next doctors appointment isn't for a little over a week so hopefully I'll get the results.
Symptoms:
Feeling a lot less nauseous this week but still exhausted.
Milestones:
After seeing baby at the NT scan we're pretty much 'out' now, everyone knows. It's a relief not to hide it anymore but also scary.

How big is baby? green olive
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Will find out
Any Upcoming Appointments? I had my first appointment last week. Measuring a little behind based on LMP, but right on time with O date from FF. Heartbeat was nice and strong. The pains that were concerning me before seem to be from a few cyst on my left ovary that my OB saw during the ultrasound.
Symptoms:ALL DAY nausea. That's why I've been MIA for a few weeks. I haven't had energy or felt well enough to do just about anything after working all day and parenting a two year old.
Milestones: We told our parents last week after the appointment. I will be giving work the heads up next week even though its early.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Because I feel so sick all the time I am not drinking enough water/liquids. I'm trying to work on it but swallowing anything makes me sick to my stomach. I also have been stopped up in my left nostril for the last few days, it's the weirdest thing.
