How far along are you? 20 w 1 day
Appointments coming up? A/S and 20 week appt on Thursday! Team Green but excited to see baby.
How are you feeling? I'm hanging in there. Braxton Hicks have started already and I am definitely more hormonal than I feel like I was by this point with my last pregnancy. Baby is moving around quite a bit and we played the "poking" game the other night. Baby kicked/punched and I gently pushed back, and baby kicked/punched back at me.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I really like the band Guster. I lean toward alt rock, but also really appreciate classical music. I played in the orchestra when I was in grade school and took ballet when I was younger so I've always found classical enjoyable. DS appreciated cello solos when he was an infant. We listened to a lot of classical music lol.

How far along are you? 20+3!
Appointments coming up? Not until July. Next OB appointment is the 4th, then I have my glucose test.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Finally feeling consistent movement over most of my belly and can feel it on the outside except where my placenta is. I have fewer "oh god something is wrong" moments and I didn't get a call about anything being wrong with the a/s so I'm letting myself calm down now. I was anxious because I felt like the tech was taking photos of his head and brain forever...
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Team blue? That's all I've found out recently. And he has short little legs just like me and DD.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) Alternative rock. July Talk, Mother Mother, Murder by Death, Tea Party, etc. And indie folk because sometimes I am in a Lumineers or She and Him mood.

How far along are you? 17 weeks 4 days
Appointments coming up? Tomorrow with OB
How are you feeling? Good. Heartburn at night. I'm very close to my loss milestone. I'm sort of expecting something to go wrong. I'm not feeling movement much and I'm not gaining weight. This happened before my loss so I'm distancing myself. I know these are normal feelings but it still is difficult.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Baby is breech and like to play with his fingers.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? Metal \m/\m/ I love Pantera, machinehead, killswitch engage, propane, All that Remains, fear factory... stuff like that.

How far along are you? 18+3
Appointments coming up? AS on July 5th
How are you feeling? On and off. My hormones are raging. Like my pregnancy rage and the things that send me into tears is absolutely ridiculous. Physically I'm mostly dealing with hip and SIJ pain. I suspect that will just be my life until November.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing about me or baby, but I cannot believe we're hitting half way points! So exciting.
QOTW: Jack Johnson is high on the list because it's very personal to H and I. Otherwise I still love me some 90's/2000's alt rock. If I'm working out it's mostly rap. I'm that person.

How far along are you? 20+2
Appointments coming up? 5 weeks until my next midwife appointment. Seems like ages away
How are you feeling? Apart from the disgusting heat wave the UK is having, meh. Still getting the weird fainting things, heat isn't remotely helping that.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing!
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) honestly I'm not really into music, but I'm quite into Lana Del Ray at the minute

How far along are you? 20+1. Babies are the size of paper airplanes according to Ovia.
Appointments coming up?
Thursday with my regular OB
How are you feeling? Pretty good! Being off work two days after being in the hospital was necessary. I needed a break.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not really
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) A variety- Harry Styles, musicals/soundtracks, 90s, not country.

How far along are you? 18w3d
Appointments coming up? Only my weekly shot. Nurse Jenny and I are becoming the best of friends.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. New round ligament pain and a weird digestive system are all I can think of to complain about right now. I'm feeling a lot more movement, but haven't been able to get anyone else to feel it yet since it's still very random.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I really like The Alabama Shakes. Indie/folksie stuff, classic rock.

How far along are you? 17w5d
Appointments coming up? MW and anatomy scan in July
How are you feeling? Most days I don't feel pregnant so yay. But I currently have a cold and its kicking my butt.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I may or may not have gained 10 lbs in a month....oops.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) Country for the most part, though I still listen to the angsty music of my teens.

grumpycat , GL at your a/s! I loved just laying there and watching the baby for 30+ minutes. misskilljoy , I'm glad you're feeling a lot of movement. It helps me to feel better and have fewer freak outs too. quinn , Hugs to you. Loss milestones are so hard. cnf , I'm sorry you're dealing with wacky emotions and hip pain.  beefinch , ugh. I can imagine that the heat would make the fainting issues worse. paperbagliz , I'm glad you've gotten a chance to rest since being in the hospital. AnnPerkins , Your weekly shot is progesterone, right? How is that going? snuff9861, I'm sorry you're sick. I've come down with a cold over the last few days, and it's no fun.

How far along are you? 20+3
Appointments coming up? Fetal echocardiogram this afternoon, and I think I have a hematologist appointment tomorrow. I don't see my OB again until July 7th.
How are you feeling? Good. Some RLP, but that's about it. I've got a cold, so that's no fun, but pregnancy-wise I'm feeling good. I'm feeling lots of movement more consistently now, and I saw my belly move yesterday, so I'm hoping H will be able to feel it soon.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I may come back and edit this after my appointment this afternoon.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I listen to a little bit of everything. My favorite people to see live, though, have been Jason Mraz, Christina Perri, and Dave Matthews.

How far along are you? 18w2d
Appointments coming up? I had my anatomy scan yesterday. All looked great and lil girl is measuring 1 day ahead and weighs 1/2 lb. Next OB appt is the 29th
How are you feeling? Feeling good pregnancy wise, I have stopped Diclegis..YAY! I have been battling a cold but finally on the tail end. Starting to feel some more more movement, looking forward to consistent movement.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? See above, everything looked great with lil girl
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever)- I like all sorts of music, I dig Kings of Leon and have tickets to go seem them in fall when they come to my town.

Thanks! I'm actually more excited than I am nervous, which is a change for me. I'm hoping to get another long look at the baby. My a/s was two weeks ago and things looked good, but they couldn't see all of the parts of the heart that they needed for the echo, so they still wanted me to come back. The dr said he felt pretty confident that we wouldn't find anything wrong, so FX. We're only doing it because apparently there's a higher risk of heart defects with IVF, and my OB wants to be sure. |

How far along are you? 18w3d
Appointments coming up? OB on Monday with my first Makena-not Makena shot. Then a/s on 7/5
How are you feeling? Pretty decent I suppose. Some bad RLP pain every now and then and some residual nausea but overall much better lately. My ankles have started swelling from sitting at my desk but I have been trying to walk around more frequently to stop that. I am not ready for cankles quite yet.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? n/a
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I prefer old school rap mostly. I like some indie/folk music as well. I also really enjoy "oldies" from the 70s and 80s.

roloma, I had swelling in my feet Saturday. I'm telling myself it was from running in the heat because I refuse to believe I'm already having swelling at this point. I'm in so much denial about pains and aches and things, thinking I'm not far along enough for X yet. And yet, there it all is, coming down the pike. Sigh.

bethkate, yep! It's been going pretty well. I've had three so far and the worst side effect I've had is cramping around the injection site.

How far along are you? 19w4d. So close to half way!
Appointments coming up? I had one this morning with my OB. Next one isn't for 5 weeks! Then the next after that is at the end of August for my GTT.
How are you feeling? Pregnancy-wise, pretty decent. I'm lucky. I have to pee more frequently and already have to scale back on the size of my meals. I used to snack so much at night but lately I just haven't had room for it. Probably a good thing.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Appointment with the OB this morning was good. We talked about me going back on antidepressants. I had a really hard time last month but am feeling a bit better now so IDK what I want to do. She said she'd rather have me on them now than wait for me to sink lower. It's a hard decision to make. Otherwise I had my anatomy scan last week and that went well, which was a relief.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I honestly don't listen to a ton of music anymore. If I'm in the car I find I put on the country stations the most.

It also just occurred to me that at 18+3, as I am today, I am exactly half way should this baby come as early as DD did. I'm cool with you coming early, kiddo. S'all good.

How far along are you? 20w today Appointments coming up? Midwife next week How are you feeling? Pretty darn good, my SI pain is just mild at this point. Otherwise just HUNGRY. Ate breakfast, still wanted more food Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? The a/s was awesome, DH loved it too. We're getting used to calling 'it' she/her etc. QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I like a lot of different music. AnnPerkins, I love Alabama Shakes and misskilljoy, The Lumineers, they are probably my two most listened to records. I also love Foo Fighters (watching Sonic Highways documentary series right now - so awesome, I love learning about music!) and lots of old school and current hip hop (J Cole). Plus old stuff like Fleetwood Mac etc. |

roloma , I had swelling in my feet Saturday. I'm telling myself it was from running in the heat because I refuse to believe I'm already having swelling at this point. I'm in so much denial about pains and aches and things, thinking I'm not far along enough for X yet. And yet, there it all is, coming down the pike. Sigh. +1 for the "I am not that pregnant yet" denial. DH has to remind me that I am actually that pregnant. |

How far along are you?
17w today
Appointments coming up?
Not until July 13 a/s. It's soooo far away! I don't like being an end of the month ER- I'm so jealous of all of you!
How are you feeling?
Aches and pains in the hips, back and round ligaments but otherwise okay.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever)
I like a variety. I've been streaming 90s, weezer, dispatch and dashboard confessional lately at work.

jules1614, I was a beginning of the month'er last time. It makes a big difference only being two weeks later. I feel so behind, and I'm a middle of the month'er!

How far along are you? 20 weeks 6 days
Appointments coming up? 24 week appt. on July 13, a week late because I'll be out of town the week before.
How are you feeling? I have been feeling totally fine, almost no symptoms other than the getting larger. I think I'm just in the 2nd trimester glory days, I don't expect this to last into third trimester.
av
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I found out that I have a low lying placenta. I was told not to lift anything heavy and to call right away if I have any bleeding. I get an extra ultrasound at 28 weeks to make sure that it has moved up to where it should be.
QOTW: What's your favorite music? (Band/musician/genre/whatever) I'm not a music person. I enjoy music, but I'm not a huge fan of anything. I like a variety of genres. Regina Spektor, A Fine Frenzie, Ingrid Michaelson type stuff is my go to usually.
