FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: finding out

Appointments: US tomorrow!!

Symptoms: nausea with some vomiting, lack of appetite, sore breasts, gassy, tired

Milestones: Told my IL’s this weekend

Rants/Raves/Vents: As comforting as my symptoms are.. I’m already tired of feeling so crappy every day. Can’t wait for second tri!

[sammysam]

Weeks pregnant: 7w0d

Baby is the size of a: wee raspberry

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out!

Appointments: The 9th...1st US on the 10th

Symptoms: constant nausea, sore breasts, food aversions, fatigue

Milestones: Nothing yet:/

Rants/Raves/Vents: DD is being so good. It's just her and I and it has been so hot we haven't been able to go outside the past few days due to heat warnings. But she let's me take a short nap each afternoon and has been such a little doll. She still adamantly does not want a baby so I'm trying to slowly warm her to the idea. We've been playing taking care of baby a lot the last couple of days.

[sammysam]

cch Good luck tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be perfect:)

Weeks pregnant: 6w3d

Baby is the size of a: Hashtag (this size tracker I found that isn't the typical fruit one is hilarious)

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Must know

Appointments: Had lab intake on Friday. First appointment and US with Midwife scheduled for Friday the 13th!

Symptoms: My nausea has kicked up another level this week and I basically spend every waking moment trying not to throw up. I have major food aversions to just about everything. I haven't told anyone yet so this makes work extra fun :\

Milestones: Another week of First tri down.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I was not expecting to have such intense symptoms so early. I didn't with my other pregnancies and this is really hitting me hard. Plus summer heat, trying to keep with 2 kids, working full time, and keep up with the house are wearing me down.

Weeks pregnant: 11, time flies when you’re on vaca

Baby is the size of a: lime!

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: 💚

Appointments: not til July 11 🙁. Was supposed to be Thursday 🙄

Symptoms: I felt great all week at the beach, and as soon as we drove off the island I started feeling super nauseous and DH almost had to pull over several times.

Milestones: baby is now a fetus!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m still annoyed with my OB office. I tried calling this morning to see if they had any openings and the lady answering phones was not pleasant.

I think we are going to still try to take our sparkler pics tonight and maybe just share with friends and the rest of family tomorrow. Probably won’t do a FB announcement until next week. would that be weird?

Weeks pregnant: 6w2d

Baby is the size of a: blueberry

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Dying to know

Appointments: US and nurse intake 7/17

Symptoms: Headaches, nausea, fatigue, cramping, tender breasts.

Milestones: Went to my first ever prenatal yoga class. I felt a little silly going so early, but it was great! I can’t wait to do it again.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I forgot about waking up feeling completely hung over. Ugh.

[redhead610]

Weeks pregnant: 14w 1d

Baby is the size of a: troll doll! Or a beet

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm

Team: blue

Appointments: tomorrow

Symptoms: the nausea, still. Stupid varicose veins

Milestones: ? Not a whole lot going on right now!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am so over the all day nausea. I was hoping it would have chilled out a bit at 14 weeks. The other day I forgot a diclegis dose and was miserable. Last night I only had buttered noodles and some strawberries for dinner.

[sammysam]

k Totally not weird. Sounds like a great idea:)

[sunshiney]

Weeks pregnant: 5+4

Baby is the size of a: Apple seed

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: finding out

Appointments: last Friday, first ultrasound showed gestational and yolk sacs measuring right on! Next ultrasound this Friday for fetal pole, hoping for a heartbeat.

Symptoms: nausea (worst in morning), rare vomiting, migraines, utter exhaustion, sore boobs, so bloated I look really and truly pregnant.

Milestones: already grew two cup sizes! Bought brass at VS semi annual sale yesterday, 34DDD. DH is pretty much drooling and praying they stop being so sore lol. I always lose weight first and gain it last in my boobs so I'm hoping pregnancy will reverse some of the affects of years of weight fluctuations on my figure.

Rants/Raves/Vents: just before we got KU, I put in notice at work, with the plan of writing full time. Popped in there today to finish up some things and was so excited to share the news with some close co-workers that I might not see again. Most were crazy excited for me (got lots of tears from those who knew about my losses). One 50-ish lady said, "you'rer not supposed to tell people yet." Um, I was telling you because we worked closely all year and I was happy for you to know, thanks for judging.

What a B sunshiney...how about congrats? 🙄

[CharlieB]

Weeks pregnant: 7w 1d

Baby is the size of a: Blueberry

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: OB coordinator on 7/16

Symptoms: I was feeling ok until the last few days. Now I have crazy breast soreness and all I want to do is nap. Intermittent nausea.

Milestones: Heartbeat confirmed last week!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I napped on Saturday AND on Sunday. It was divine. The house is a mess, but...naps.

[CharlieB]

k Definitely not weird! That will be a cute announcement.

redhead610 Buttered noodles were my dinner last night, too. That was pretty much the only thing in the kitchen that sounded remotely tolerable.

sunshiney As much as I hate the breast soreness, I always welcome the boost in cup sizes. Definitely a welcome trade-off. Also, wtf to your coworker? You get to announce when you want to...your pregnancy, your rules. That’s how this works.

[stayingblonde]

Weeks pregnant: 8w5d

Baby is the size of a: 2x2 Lego brick

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out ASAP

Appointments: First appt a week from tomorrow!

Symptoms: Exhausted, pukey in the am and pm, I just feel like I'm hungover all the time

Milestones: Did my first hair-tie-holding-the-jeans-closed trick of this pregnancy, so that was exciting

Rants/Raves/Vents: Just waiting to be out of 1st tri.

[hrh]

Weeks pregnant: 6+2

Baby is the size of a: sweet pea

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: finding out

Appointments: not until the 16th

Symptoms: I'm still recovering from a nasty stomach bug so not sure what symptoms are attributable to what. Just trying to hydrate.

Milestones: nothing of note

Rants/Raves/Vents: Hiding pregnancy from my family over the 4th will be a challenge but not having many symptoms will help. Grateful I can still drink coffee, that totally turned my stomach my last two pregnancies!

[sammysam]

sunshiney I hope you didn't let her ruine your excitement of telling your other coworkers. Some people are jerks. Don't let them take away from your happiness.

[wildflowers]

Weeks pregnant: 8w 3d

Baby is the size of a: Peanut M&M

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: I haven't decided yet.

Appointments: Tomorrow is my first appointment with my midwife.

Symptoms: Lack of appetite and soooooooo tired I can hardly function.

Milestones: Both times I have made it this far I have taken home a baby.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am sort of a mess. When I am not freaking out about loss, I am beating myself up with guilt over what a lazy mom I am right now. I just have no energy at all.

[tngrl3]

wildflowers don't beat yourself up. First trimester is so tough especially with other kids. Survival is all I aim for! I fell asleep on the couch tonight while the kids watched cartoons. They didn't care but I had meant to clean up the kitchen during that time! i hope you start feeling a little better soon.

[hrh]

Hugs, wildflowers. That is an awesome milestone to hit, congrats! And you are definitely not alone. It is a rite of passage that the other kid/s learn independence and how to deal with boredom (life skill!) while mom is busy creating he most amazing gift of a new brother or sister. My kid learned all about purple martins from the Wild Kratts today while his brother and I napped. 😉 No guilt!

[sammysam]

wildflowers +1 to what everyone else has said. I'm exhausted and nauseous constantly. Throw my previous loss in and I'm not doing anywhere near what I normally do with DD. We do what we can but have to do what is best for us during pregnancy.

[strawberrykiki]

Weeks pregnant: 8w6d

Baby is the size of a: piece of popped popcorn

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: finding out!

Appointments: had my 2nd appointment yesterday. They took blood, pee, full exam. And even though it wasn’t part of the appointment, doctor let us have another peek at baby! So much bigger than last time with a strong heartbeat of 182

Symptoms: queasy all day, bloated, constipated, lots of peeing, zits! Pretty much everything

Milestones: seeing baby again!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I can almost see the end of the first trimester! Still weeks to go but slowly getting there! Grow baby grow!

[TashaLa]

Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics 😊

Weeks pregnant: 9+2

Baby is the size of a: green olive

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: GREEN!

Appointments: Thursday! Intake and US

Symptoms: still wicked tired, nausea appears to have lessened *knocks on wood*

Milestones: nothing new

Rants/Raves/Vents: Rant: I reallyyy hate this first tri body with summer clothes. I try on like 7 things before reluctantly choosing one then still feel self conscious bc I don’t look pregnant just a little pudgy around the waist. Ugh!

[dashook]

redhead610 so exciting that we now have people in second tri!!
TashaLa solidarity on the clothes. I am so self conscious right now. I started this pregnancy heavier than I have ever been and feel like I will be making people play the “pregnant or just fat?” game for many weeks to come 😬

Weeks pregnant: 10+3

Baby is the size of a: strawberry/Lego man

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: 💚💚💚

Appointments: had my intake and blood draw appointment last week. I have to start taking baby aspirin again because of my BP and they’re making me do a 24 hour urine catch again too 🙄

First OB visit on 7/17, followed by my NT scan! So excited/nervous to see LO again.

Symptoms: the nausea and food aversions have eased up big time the past 2-3 weeks. I’m trying not to worry about that and just focus on how it’s super cool because I’m on vacation this week and eating all the things. The exhaustion is pretty bad but I have gotten to nap every day so far and plan to continue the trend. I’m moody and my skin is breaking out.

Milestones: I’ve got myself a fetus now!

Rants/Raves/Vents: see all of the above lol

[notagoddess]

Weeks pregnant: 6w2d

Baby is the size of a: Sweet pea

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out!

Appointments: 8/2... an eternity

Symptoms: Nausea, fatigue, blumpin’ already

Milestones: None this week

Rants/Raves/Vents: Many of my shorts and pants don’t button anymore. I’m going to be busting out the maternity pants ASAP.

[sammysam]

notagoddess I've been living in anything stretchy for the past couple of weeks. The bloat was my first indication that I was pregnant. It has only grown since then:/

[CharlieB]

notagoddess The bloat is real. I unpacked my maternity pants at 5 weeks this time and haven't looked back. Screw it, I'm going to be comfortable.

[Deleted]

Weeks pregnant: 10+5

Baby is the size of a: Prune

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Finding out

Appointments: I had my 9 week appointment last week! I was measuring a little bit ahead so they bumped my due date up. There was a strong heartbeat of 181BPM and we got to see the baby moving all around during the ultrasound. 

Symptoms: Still really nauseous. Every single morning, I wake up between 3-7am and either throw up stomach acid or dry heave which is pretty terrible. Heartburn at night, still really tired, and I pretty much hate all food.

Milestones: Just really excited to only be a week away from being able to tell more people!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm very over the first trimester. Feeling crappy all the time has really taken a toll, I've barely worked out and I just dont feel like myself. I'm really looking forward to eating well again, exercising and just having more energy.

[sammysam]

@janelane I totally get all of this. I'm not even worrying about working out while pregnant. I'll worry about getting back to myself once baby is here. It's easier for me to workout with a newborn than it is when I am constantly nauseous. I figure it's enough that I'm chasing DD around all day long:/

[strawberrykiki]

I’ve been walking but that’s about all I can manage right now. I had a bad night last night for feeling sick and I don’t feel very good right now either. It’s been weeks of feeling bad I just feel like crying trying to work like I’m fine when I feel so rotten. 😪

I can relate 100% to trying to act like all is well at work while feeling like crap. This week was extra busy at work and I felt like I literally spent every single minute trying not to throw up. It is really taking a toll on me emotionally.
