How far along are you? 19w+1d
Appointments coming up? we've got our 20 week U/S on Wednesday. Excited to see how much she's grown, and to make sure she's all healthy!
How are you feeling? I keep on getting really hot flushes, it's horrible. Feel really weak etc. So I'm hoping this passes soon as it's bloody horrible... H doesn't want me going anywhere on my own since my (nearly) fainting accident.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Haven't seen anyone for nearly 3 weeks now which is fine. Just excited for the U/S.
QOTW: What's your dream job? I've never been a career orientated person, my dream 'job' is to be SAHM, and bring our kiddies up. But if I had to choose a job, it would be a midwife, as I love pregnancy/birth (although I'm not loving pregnancy right now lol)

How far along are you? 17+2
Appointments coming up? Anatomy scan on 7/5
How are you feeling? Decent. I think I'm in the sweet spot where first tri garbage has passed but I'm not quite far enough along for aches and pains juts yet. That said, I'm tiring out extremely easily these days and my rhinitis is horrible. But I'm going to try and enjoy this little happy place. As long as I can ignore the BH I'm already getting. Seriously, body, already?
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'm feeling daily movement which I love. I think I felt a soft outside thump last night. We'll see. I'm just enjoying the little bumps and tumbles.
QOTW: What's your dream job? Anything with animals. I also applied to veterinary schools but obviously went with teaching. I'd love to run a shelter or be a zoologist or something like that.

How far along are you? 17w2d
Appointments coming up? I'm about to leave for my weekly shot, but no real appointments until mid-July.
How are you feeling? Not too bad outside of a few digestive misfortunes. I haven't taken anything to help me sleep in almost 2 weeks! I still get the occasional killer headache, though.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? This baby must be front and center because it has an extremely easy heartbeat to find on the doppler. Personally, I've also started to feel movement from the outside over the last few days, but it hasn't been consistent enough for me to get anyone else to feel it, too.
QOTW: What's your dream job? I have many. I don't see myself as a one job forever kind of person. Most of them are sort of artistic in nature. Voice over actor, window display coordinator, wedding planner, playground architect, special effects make-up artist, just to name a few.

QOTW: What's your dream job? Run a coffee and gelato shop in Italy. Or one on some tropical beach somewhere.

AnnPerkins, have you watched Face Off before? It's a makeup special effects competition show on SciFy. H loves it and I do enjoy watching it with him. It's really cool what people can do!

DH and I used to watch it with DD all of the time. We haven't watched the last few seasons, but she mentioned the other day that she would like to catch up. I think it was actually helpful for DD to see that all of the monsters in movies were just people in make-up or costumes. We've never had a boogyman-type issue with her.

I never thought about that show being a good way to dispel monster myths.

How far along are you? 19+4
Appointments coming up? Just got back from the doctors office
How are you feeling? Awful. I have severe pain in my pelvis anytime I walk or lay down or try stairs. She did seem concerned so that was good. Last time I feel she brushed it off more. Did send me for a urine sample to rule out a bladder infection. I really feel it's SPD. She gave me some stretches to do and to try to strengthen it.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope.
QOTW: What's your dream job? I really don't know. I enjoy teaching. I don't know what I would pick if I could do anything else.

How far along are you? 19w 1 day Appointments coming up? A/s and 20 week appt next week How are you feeling? Better than I felt at this point in my first pregnancy. Lots of discomfort when kiddo is sitting low and having some Braxton hicks already. I had a ton of BH throughout my pregnancy with DS so I knew that was gonna be the case. I just need to watch that they don't become more than BH. I get annoyed more easily and the heat doesn't help (it's been 95 degrees for the past three days). Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? DH felt the baby kick last week for the first time. I'm halfway through my pregnancy if kiddo decides to copy his/her older brother. QOTW: What's your dream job? A singer or someone who takes care of animals. Or a TV show critic.

How far along are you? 18w3d
Appointments coming up? Anatomy scan on Thursday!!! Hoping it all goes well. Then an OB appointment a week from tomorrow.
How are you feeling? Physically I'm fine, getting bigger every day and peeing a lot now. Mentally/emotionally I am stressed. Worried about my job and maternity leave timing.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? No, feels like it's been forever.
QOTW: What's your dream job? IDK, something flexible with lots of vacation time and good benefits.

How far along are you? 19+5
Appointments coming up? Not for a while, about five more weeks since I'll be out of town during the week where they would normally see me.
How are you feeling? Good! Not much to complain about really.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I think I have decided to try for a no drugs birth. I talked to the midwife about it at my appt last week and it really sounds like the hospital is supportive of it. Also, since I am trying for a V-BAC, I don't want to increase my chances of a RCS by getting an epidural. We'll see, but that's where my head's at right now.
QOTW: What's your dream job? Elementary school librarian and children's/young adult author.

cnf, my rhinitis has been so bad too. Last time my doctor had me take Flonase and it helped but this time it hasn't phased it. Have you tried anything? cdnfarmgirl, I suffered from SPD last pregnancy and it started right back up early with this one too. I feel ya on the pain, it's awful. I managed it with prenatal yoga and regular chiropractor visits with someone that specialized in SPD. It really did help. I was at a friend's beach house this past Saturday and she had stairs, I could barely walk yesterday from it

jj32 - thanks I'll look into those suggestions. She also made me do a urine sample and said it's also a sign of a bladder infection. I almost hope it is because then it will get better. I've never had a bladder infection in my life. I don't know what it feels like. All I know is that my office is in the farthest corner of the school and I can barely walk to where I need to go half the time.

If it ends up being SPD feel free to reach out, I can share all my tips and tricks that helped it be more manageable.

How far along are you? 17w2d
Appointments coming up? Next OB on the 26th and a/s on 7/5.
How are you feeling? Not terrible. Pretty tired but I think that comes with chasing a toddler around. My arms are falling asleep when I sleep, which didn't happen until later with DS and that is annoying but other than that, pretty ok.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My office no longer requires you to pee in a cup at every appointment, only if you are having issues or have had issues. Cool with me. I start my Makena-but not really Makena injections at my next appointment.
QOTW: What's your dream job? I would like to run a non-profit after school/summer program for inner city and/or low income children with a focus on the arts (ie cooking, music, and art classes). I would also like to do nothing but volunteer places that interest me.

Appointments coming up? Have one Wednesday and then anatomy scan on Monday
How are you feeling? Eh. Not nauseous most of the time, thank goodness, but the acid reflux is pretty bad. Just... Tired. So tired.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not yet! Feeling a lot more movement.
QOTW: What's your dream job? Ice cream taste tester? Haha.

How far along are you? 18 weeks tomorrow
Appointments coming up? Next Monday we find out the sex!
How are you feeling? Okay, minus the heartburn that has just become routine.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'm starting to get a little nervous that I'm not feeling stronger movements. I've had a couple of little flutters here and there. I guess I am just remembering the very end of my last pregnancy, DD was basically a Rockette. Maybe I will start a thread.
QOTW: What's your dream job? I'd like to run a small non-profit that focuses on local children's health...or be a calligrapher. The latter seems less likely as I have no skill set.
