How big is baby? the size of a Game of Thrones Dragon Egg!! (the BabySizer website is fun)
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? Not until June 8
Symptoms: Fatigue, sore nipples

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Need to get back to thinking about names. Also need to figure out what I want to do with the new bedroom. I think we decided to move DS to the 3rd bedroom and use his nursery as-is for DS2, so I need to decide what to do with DS's room. MH wants to get started soon so I need to figure it out!

**snip** Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Nothing really. I'm feeling great. I'm starting to feel more and more movement. He still seems pretty low from what I can feel despite everyone saying I'm "carrying high". Tell that to my bladder that he's tap dancing on. I feel and look the same way. This kid is definitely dancing on my bladder but my bump is high, It’s like he isn’t even in the bump area. Or I have a very long baby. |

I think DD was transverse for the longest time because I only felt movement higher up and on the sides. With this dude I only feel anything right where my bladder is. Maybe he's up and down and I just can't feel his hand movements. Who knows lol |

How big is baby? American guinea pig
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? Supposed to have an U/S this week, but have yet to have one. Next general appointment Fter that is June 8.
Symptoms: moar pregsomnia. I'm tired a lot because heartburn keeps waking me at night. Sigh.
Milestones: Finally got my NT results and thankfully everything was in the normal range. Also my thyroid was declared normal.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I got so much side eye from the receptionist because I didn't know I needed to make my ultrasound appointment myself. They also moved my appointment back 10 days, so it would have been NBD before. But she was huffy about having to try to squeeze me in before the end of the week. Shruggy guy.
Also- this is totally a cultural difference rant, but I need to have it. I am not skinny and I know it. But twice now nurses have commented that the Doppler is tough to do on me to find the babies heartbwat because of all the fat on my belly. One even called it a "difficult belly". I know it totally is not meant as an insult, Portuguese are just very matter of fact, but damn does it still sting a little!!

Haha, that's always my initial reaction but it really isn't meant to be rude or cruel. Like people here swoon over pictures of my massive belly with my boys, but they still use the words enormous and fat, but it literally is like a happy thing? It's just very culturally different. |

Cultural yes, and probably a language translation issue as well. I found living in Denmark that, even though most everyone was fluent in English, some things still just did not translate well. |

I just got off the phone with one of the OB nurses from my office. The 1 soft marker they found last week during my anatomy scan was a echogenic intracardiac focus. I was already doing a decent job not worrying about it since I have the good Harmony results but I feel so much better knowing it wasn't something to do with the nasal bone or long bone measurements.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 21, 21 weeks How big is baby? Baseball hat Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue Any Upcoming Appointments? Not for a couple of weeks Symptoms: So tired by the end of the day, still having heartburn Milestones: Past halfway! mirabelle I had GD with my last pregnancy - I had no symptoms at all before or after being diagnosed. It was annoying for sure to have the diet and finger pricks to worry about, but not really that big of a deal in the long run. Fortunately mine was well controlled with diet and it went away once DD was born. This time they did a screening test early and I don’t have it yet, but I’ll still have to do the glucose tolerance test in a few weeks to make sure it’s not developing again. |

pixiepink24 I had pretty pronounced linea negra with my first two pregnancies, but not these last two. I think my stomach has been stretch-marked to oblivion and isn’t capable of pigmentation anymore.

getdownpleaseYou might be on to something. That would make sense if that's why. I have lots of white stretch marks on the belly and believe I also have DR.
