How far along are you? EDD?
15w, 9/5

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically- sore everywhere, tired, the usual, feeling huge already. Emotionally good, the weather is having a lot to do with that. I’m too tired to really get worked up about much of anything these days.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I have a scan at the end of the week and I am excited and hoping to see an active baby.

Any other word vomit to share?
I need to find a good book to read. I’ve also been keeping myself occupied by doing a lot of spring cleaning and tossing around and trying out different baby names. I cant tell if I can’t get hooked on one name because PGAL trying to stay semi disconnected or that I truly haven’t found the one we love. Probably a bit of both.

QotW: Do you stay active during the winter? What do you do?
I have a stationary bike that I use and I have to use it otherwise I get terrible restless legs, so mainly cardio and very light weight lifting. Doesn’t do shit for my physique. But it makes me feel good.

How far along are you? EDD?
7w5d, Halloween

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically soooo tired and just a little off in the stomach (a little nauseous and heart burny). Emotionally, still floating on the high of seeing baby and a strong heartbeat at the u/s last Wednesday!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
9w u/s on 3/29

Any other word vomit to share?
nope

QotW: Do you stay active during the winter? What do you do?
I try, but the weather is against me in N Wisconsin. We have a recumbent bike, so I do that and pilates. Especially now that I'm pregnant, I probably won't pick up the running and weight lifting I do when it's warmer, but hopefully more outdoor walks in the near future!

How far along are you? EDD? 25w2d, June 30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm just really sore right now. My back and hips mostly, but really just all over. Still having heartburn really bad most days, and I've been vomiting a bit, about once a week my breakfast will re appear. Which sucks because I'm usually just done eating and trying to get out the door for work so I don't have time to digest what I've eaten or eat anything else.
Emotionally I'm doing pretty good. Finding myself a little more emotional (crying over simple things) and a little snappier but otherwise no anxiety. Helps little man likes to move A LOT.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? April 5 is my next appointments, including my GTT. Also coming up on 3rd trimester I guess!

Any other word vomit to share? I just picked up the first of my cloth diaper stash yesterday!

QotW: Do you stay active during the winter? What do you do? I'm pretty active at work (I probably do at least a 5k every day just in walking), but I do try to get on the elliptical every now and again, and I'm starting up yoga as of tonight.

DrHooch, I totally feel you on the cold. I LOVE going for walks, and we have a really awesome trail that's like 30 km+ long that runs along the river here, but no hecking way am I going out when it's like -15C

We live right on a rail trail that is probably a similar length but I hate being cold, especially while pregnant. Looking forward to warmer weather so much!

How far along are you? EDD?
22w 5d. 7/19.


How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Eh, just taking it day by day. Wish time would speed up until like mid May.


Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Appt 3/28.
Milestone: I can feel kicks from the outside and MH felt baby last night for the first time!


Any other word vomit to share?
Bed rest is depressing. I am grumpy A LOT. I'm bored, I'm uncomfortable, I'm frustrated. Even tho I'm not on strict bed rest there is not much I CAN do. Sweeping causes contractions, bending over too much causes contractions, vacuuming, mopping, walking too much, standing too long, Sitting on the floor to play with DS.

I am so thankful for this baby and s/he is so so loved. I will do whatever I have to to keep her healthy and inside as long as I can. But man it's hard. I feel so unlike myself.


QotW: Do you stay active during the winter? What do you do?
Not pregnant, yes. I have a gym membership and usually go 2 hours a day/6 days a week. I miss working out.

Usually do the elliptical, treadmill and then weights.

notmoose, I keep forgetting how close behind me you are! I'm sorry bed rest sucks so much. I definitely can't wait until the end of May so I can be off work. I'm starting to feel pregnant a lot now, which mostly means just sore!

Yeah we are pretty close with our due dates! And I hear you on the soreness. Unfortunately I expect worse before it gets better. Bright side to a summer baby is we can swim once it's warmer and that is so great for the soreness/heavy feeling.

yes, for sure! Unfortunately the pool at the rec center that's just 2 blocks away is being renoed so I can't just wander over, but it's not that far to drive to the number of aquatic centers we have around here. My mom is picking up some bathing suits for me and F so when I'm recovered I can take him swimming too.

How far along are you? EDD? 19 weeks and 2 days, August 13

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I am tired all the time, and have a lot of round ligament pain and just general pelvic bone soreness. Also, constipation has set in kind of full force, and nothing that I am trying seems to be helping much. Emotionally I seem to be OK most of the time.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next Thursday for an anatomy scan at 20 weeks. We had an early one and we are hoping this one will be as good or better. I am trying not to worry about the isolated chroid plexus cyst they found before as being a T18 marker in very very rare cases and trying to remind myself we have had so many reassuring tests ruling that out, including a NIPT. I also had the AFP test, which was normal and not on the low end at all (that would have potentially been concerning).

Any other word vomit to share? I think I covered it all.

QotW: Do you stay active during the winter? What do you do?
I try to take a lot of walks outside with my 3.5 year old and sometimes ride my indoor bike. I should do both more often than I currently do.
