Yikes, thanks!

How far along are you? EDD? 28w2d, June 30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, I've got heartburn, intense hip pain especially at night, Braxton Hicks are ramping up. Emotionally, I'm just feeling anxious for him to be here and be safe.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I guess I'm officially in the last trimester now. I just had an appointment on Thursday (passed my GTT, yay!) and I don't have another one until May.

Any other word vomit to share? I may have to go on leave earlier than anticipated =( I had planned on going to 35 weeks, but BH are worse at work because I'm constantly on the go, and they're making work nearly impossible at times. I had to leave work early today because I was cramping every 7-8 minutes. Almost as soon as I got home they started getting further apart again.

QotW: What was your favorite lunch as a kid? More specifically if you went to school that served lunch, what was your favorite school lunch? Full lunch? Uhhh, fried chicken I guess? At my high school, they had a nacho tray of GOOOOD fries (like McD's fries) for $1, and 3 cookies for $1, and that's what I had for lunch pretty much every day for like 3 years lol

How far along are you? EDD?

4 weeks, 6 days. December 12.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?

Physically, fine. I keep peeing on things to make sure lines are still present (they are!). C’mon, symptoms! Emotionally, it depends on the hour or minute.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?

8 days until we’re past when we lost Thing 2. I’m looking forward to that at the moment, in addition to our OB appointment on May 1.

Any other word vomit to share?

I’m frustrated that my OB is all 🤷🏻‍♀️ and not interested in extra beta testing or an early scan. Having to wait 8 weeks to know if there’s a baby in my Ute or attached to my ovary again is... something. I get it. I’ve had one healthy pregnancy. Another EP would be rare. And waiting until 8 weeks will ensure we see a heartbeat and all that. But... blargh.

QotW: What was your favorite lunch as a kid? More specifically if you went to school that served lunch, what was your favorite school lunch?

I lived on school pizza that we all dipped in ranch dressing. Ah, memories.

How far along are you? EDD?
25w 5d. 7/19.


How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically - I feel like I should be 35 weeks not just 25. 😐 My back hurts all the time, I waddle, I'm out of breath so easily, and bending over is such a chore.

Emotionally - Pretty good. I've noticed I'm more emotional lately over small things. Anxiety is getting a little worse. I'm hoping it stays under control until delivery at least.


Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Regular check up tomorrow
I've passed viability and MH and ds have felt baby move.

Packed - nacho lunchable

School lunch - pizza. Specifically the rectangle one. Mmm I could still chow down on that today.

How far along are you? EDD?
9/5, 19w today

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically- same old, restless legs keeping me up. Emotionally- good, nothing that stands out lately

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My anatomy scan at 21w is my loss milestone and as it gets closer I am getting so anxious. My OB will not do the scan before 21w and every time I think about it, it makes me mad. But I really like my OB otherwise and I know she has legitimate reasons for doing it this way.

Basically any cheesy red sauce combination. So pizza, cheese bread, cheese sticks, etc. I wonder if they still serve all that stuff now? I also loved chicken and gravy so it inspired me to make it yesterday.

How far along are you? EDD?
5w6d EDD is Dec. 7th

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically this is the first time I've had so much gas pain and heartburn. I usually feel completely normal.
Emotionally I feel 100x less anxious about this pregnancy than my last one (my rainbow), I'm feeling very hopeful that this will work out.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I had an ultrasound appointment this week, I have another one in 2 weeks to hopefully see the heartbeat.

Any other word vomit to share?
Not really

QotW: What was your favorite lunch as a kid? More specifically if you went to school that served lunch, what was your favorite school lunch?
We use to have these weird hotdog shapped meat things that I liked in elementary school. I went to boarding school for high school so I ate 3 meals a day there, my favorite was always Sunday brunch (aka pastries!)

Also, this is a message for TFAS check in ladies from TTGP that may be lurking.
I'm sorry I just left without saying anything, but I never wanted to be that annoying woman who intros then gets her bfp the 1st cycle. I really didn't expect it to be so fast.
My thoughts are with you all and I want you all to get your bfps very soon.

How far along are you? EDD?
11w1d, Halloween

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
so tired. and nauseous. emotionally, surprisingly good. I had my first OB appointment this week and she found the heart beat quickly and it is right where it's supposed to be in terms of rate.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
NT scan next Thursday. I will feel better once the testing is out of the way. Since my last lost was a trisomy and I'm old, I'm very nervous.

Any other word vomit to share?
Yesterday was my last day of progesterone suppositories!!! :-D

QotW: What was your favorite lunch as a kid? More specifically if you went to school that served lunch, what was your favorite school lunch?
I don't remember! I brought lunch, and took a lot of sandwiches. I don't remember any being particularly exciting.

quijibo I'm sure you know this, but I had forgotten since my first successful pregnancy - I had no symptoms until 7-8 weeks. So I peed on all the sticks too. Sorry to hear you're stressed

love this

I wound up having an episode of painful cramping on Tuesday, which was enough for me to get sent home early. It was caused by stress and dehydration because at that point I had been running (almost literally) for almost 3 hours with 0 chance to stop to get a drink, let alone have a rest.
It got me thinking, and I realized that I'm at a point where I really need to be able to have a rest when I need it, which isn't guaranteed with my job. So I'm going to be going off of work as of my next appointment. I'll be almost 32 weeks, which is about 3 weeks earlier than I planned, but I need to be safe and healthy.
Now I'm just trying to figure out what I'm going to do in those 8ish weeks lol

Sorry about the scare. I hope it doesn't happen again!

My advice from someone stuck at home 99% of the time:

Make lists of things you want done before baby (I separate mine into my jobs and MH jobs)
Pick some crafty projects to do
Get some good books or download some kindle/nook books
Find a show (or a few) to binge watch
Go out to lunch with a friend every now and then
Warm baths

[Speedy]

notmoose good list. I'm trying to figure out what I need to get still but unfortunately I really have to wait until after my baby shower next week. I'm itching to get things done!!
