I splurged on 2 pairs of Lulu leggings. I would never normally spend that much but I know I am going to wear the sh*t out of these bad boys over the next 18 months.

Thursday! My first apt!

I was pretty miserable this weekend. Thankful for my husband, I had some epic naps. Today is so far an ok day for not feeling like I'm going to puke. I am shoving my face full of food.
I'm pretty excited to have my first apt and then hopefully an u/s scheduled after that.

Saw the little gummy bear this morning and heard its beautiful heartbeat. Rate was 117. I immediately started crying when the Dr turned on the sound.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 7w, due 11/20
How big is baby? A raspberry, or blueberry? A small berry.
Team Finding Out / Team Green? Finding out!
Any Upcoming Appointments? 2 more weeks until my first appointment. Getting there, feels like I’ve been waiting a long time already
Symptoms: so, so tired. I could have gone to bed at 9pm last night but forced myself to stay up. I’ve also been waking up early in the mornings, and having vivid dreams. Nausea-ish, need to be eating all the time.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Has anyone else felt colder than usual? I’m usually warm but have felt chilly lately. Maybe it’s just because I’m in the Midwest and spring is never coming...

@snow that sounds like a great US! I understand your progesterone levels were low but can’t they manipulate them with shots/supplements? Obviously I’m not knowledgeable.
I am hoping for the best for you.

I have also been feeling cold the past few weeks (I'm 10 weeks tomorrow). I can't tell if it's actually cold in my house/office or if it's just me, usually I'm the one turning down the heat because I'm warm. My last pregnancy I remember being hot all the time, but that was mostly in the 2nd and 3rd tri, when it was summer and then I was huge and producing a lot of body heat. |

FX for you, @snow! You're still pregnant and your baby is growing, and that's great.

@snow
I am so sorry you are going through all of this but happy you had a good appointment today.
I wasn't familiar with your situation so I looked back. Your Dr sounds a lot like my RE in how they feel about progesterone.
I hope it all works out and that little bean continues to grow healthy and strong. Sending positive vibes.

How far/ due date: 6w4d, 11/22 (I think)
How big? A lentil, I keep downloading then deleting the tracking apps.
I would like to be team green, but we will probably find out.
First appointment is 4-17, seems like forever away. I will have an ultrasound.
Symptoms: started feeling dizzy and a bit nauseous last night and today. Boobs a bit tender and I’m feeling unmotivated and tired. Nothing too bad yet though.
I am still trying to exercise. I was running before and I miss it. I don’t feel comfortable running, so I try to walk on the treadmill and do some light yoga - doesn’t always happen though.
Rant: I got a hole in the thigh of my favorite jeans (that were still fitting). Now I really need more pants, but don’t want to buy new and i don’t want to buy maternity until at least my first appt. If the weather wasn’t so crappy still I would be OK.

ETA idk if it is different for IUI katiesmom2010 of course always call your doc when in doubt. But unless you have additional restrictions in place, I believe most people are okay to continue with their usual exercise routine. Just don’t add anything new that’s really strenuous. I think there’s also a recommended heart rate to stay at/below, if you have a HR monitor. |

katiesmom2010I do body pump class 3 times a week. It's pretty intense and includes cardio/weights. I was doing it before though so I feel fit enough to continue. I will make changes to some parts of the class later on because you shouldn't be flat on your back after a certain point but other than that I feel good to go.

Had my first appointment today with the midwife, and it went pretty well. I liked her a lot. Feeling nervous because she said my uterus feels a little small, but it could be that I ovulated late and my dates are off. Hoping everything is ok at the ultrasound on Monday.
*TW? Just in case* Also trying not to worry that I'm spotting after the pap smear (she said it's normal). Hopefully it stops soon and I can relax.

Had my intake appt today. U/s showed a wiggly 10w fetus so that was a relief.
The appt didn’t make me feel any better about this new big practice, though. It sounds like I won’t be seeing my actual doctor much (still haven’t met him), but mostly a mix of a couple of NP’s. I tried to stress to the intake nurse that I am concerned about someone (preferably, ya know, my doctor) staying on the lookout for the type of complications I had with DS. Meh. I’m sure it’ll all work out, but I definitely miss my old doc.
I almost took a pic for you guys of the very detailed instructional sign in the bathroom giving directions for how to pee in a cup. Apparently it’s rocket science. There were a lot of capital letters and exclamation points. Highlight of the sign— “DO NOT RELEASE THE LABIA!”

Spotting stopped yesterday evening, yay! I've been looking more into this retroverted uterus thing and it explains some things, like the constipation I've been having. And it's totally common for retroverted uteruses to feel small because they're leaning toward the back and hard to feel from the front.
