I feel like I need this right now. Hope it's ok that I started it. I haven't seen one in a while.
How far along are you? EDD? Only 4w. EDD Feb 18.
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? OK to both. I think it's going to be a rough pregnancy on both levels if it works out...but good right now. Just scared.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Appointment on the 19th.
Any other word vomit to share? I had a bit of spotting last week that sent me into a tail spin. I keep thinking what if I actually lost the baby again but my body just hasn't figured it out...like last time. I'm feeling pretty confident but then when I say something that sounds confident I feel like I have to reword it because what if this doesn't end well again and then I'll just feel dumb for assuming that everything is going to be ok. And I also keep freaking out that something is going to happen to me again and that DD will be left without me. I can't tell how I'm feeling 90% of the time:/ And that rambling incoherent diatribe sums up my state of mind.

Congratulations and hugs!
PgAL is such a mind fuck. I hope there is no more spotting and you have a boring nine months. <3

sammysam so happy to see you here and I also hope you have a quick and boring pregnancy. Are you having any betas drawn? They definitely don’t give you a full picture, but have me something to hold on to while I was waiting for that initial ultrasound. How far along are you? EDD? 27w, 9/5 How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically feeling large, not sleeping, overall miserable, but in good spirits. Summer has me keeping busy. Any upcoming appointments or milestones? GD test next week, nervous about this one, but ready to get it over with. Nursery is painted. Any other word vomit to share? I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with organizing some of the stuff we already have, but it serves as a good reminder I don’t need much more stuff for this next one. So many clothes!

mirabelle I've been following your pregnancy and I'm so thrilled things are going so well! I had betas drawn yesterday. I should get the numbers back today and then I'll likely go again in a few days. Please tell me it gets easier the further along you get. Every little thing has me freaking out.

sammysam My OB has been a big support, allowing me to do all the testing I wanted to do and get a few extra ultrasounds so that’s helped quite a bit, but it’s still an all around intense experience. I’ve had to speak up and advocate for what I needed to support myself emotionally. No advice on how to get through it because many days it feels impossible. Great that you are having them check your hcg levels, I would not have even known to ask for them without the info from the loss community here. I also did a lot of lurking on past pgal check ins, it gave me hope.

I think that's really normal, I know I felt that way for a long time this pregnancy.

How far along are you? EDD? 35w 3d. 7/19
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - everything hurts and I feel huge. I've started having a few contractions a day.
Emotionally - pretty good. Still struggling with feeling like this isn't real or something could still happen. I think I will have to be holding my healthy baby to believe it's all good.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Not until the 26th.
Any other word vomit to share? I'm worried baby is facing the wrong way and I'll have a longer labor with back pain. My contractions are really only painful in my back. Just like it was with DD.
