Week/EDD: 13, 5/10

Baby is the size of: jalapeno

FTM, Etc: TTM (4 year old, and a 2.5 year old)

Appointments: Thursday!

Milestones: less than a week till 2nd trimester, oh my gosh!

Symptoms: nausea, tired all the time. Heartburn has started the last few days.

Rants: I am trying to decide if I should try stopping the nausea meds. They help, though I still get nausea, but they also make me really, really tired.
I am about to be slammed at work, and I have a ton of extra things this week. I feel very overwhelmed with it all.

Raves: the weather has been nice.

Week/EDD: 7w4d/ June20

Baby is the size of: raspberry

FTM, Etc : STM (3yo ds)

Appointments: Baby looked great on ultrasound last week! I have an appt for a breast ultrasound this week bc my Dr. found a lump during my initial appt. I *think* the lump has actually disappeared so I'm guessing it was just hormone related but will definitely feel better after getting it checked.

Milestones: Baby had a heartbeat on the ultrasound.

Symptoms: nausea, tired, crazy dreams

Rants: Nothing much

Raves: It was great seeing the baby.

Week/EDD: 9w4d, 6/6/19

Baby is the size of: a grape

FTM

Appointments: ultrasound last Thursday, and we got to see baby “dancing”! He was moving his little arms and legs! Nothing exciting this week, dentist Thursday and a blood draw on Friday at the RE

Milestones: seeing the baby move!

Symptoms: nausea and fatigue, restless sleep, heartburn when I drink lemonade

Rants: I’m going to have to take my PIO with me when we go home for Thanksgiving. I had hoped I’d be fully weaned by then, but I’ll have 1 last dose after we fly out. And I have to get my blood drawn out there too. Grumble.

Raves: The end is in sight for PIO and my other meds! I can’t wait to be a “normal” pregnant woman!

GTKY: oops, forgot to think of a question! Share something fun if you want!

[bonzo]

courtniko, what are you using for nausea? I just started Bonjesta, and it helps so much but you’re right it makes me even more tired. I hope you can figure out a good balance for work!

mamabear02, yay for a good ultrasound! And I hope everything looks good with your breast ultrasound this week.

[courtniko]

bonzo, I am taking Diclegis. I only take the 2 at night, though the instructions say I can also take 1 in the morning as well if I want to. It just makes me so tired, that I don't know if I could function if I take the one in the morning as well.
The first half of the day I just feel super foggy. I was so miserable being nauseous 24/7 that it is worth it. But then I am feeling so much better (until I wait too long to eat) that I wonder if I am getting over the nausea phase. I am just scared to try not taking it.

[courtniko]

mamabear02 and bonzo, yay for good ultrasounds. Seeing the baby, especially moving around is so wonderful!

Week/Fruit: 12w1d Plum

FTM

Appointments: Thursday for US and screening labs

Symptoms: Nausea still front and center, yesterday wasn’t a horrible day but it might have been a fluke. Still pretty tired. Headaches the last two days- not sure if coincidence or not.

Milestones: I’ve heard the baby HB on my Doppler a few times now ❤️

Rants: Just ready to start to feel better. I have a lot of projects I want to do around the house before this baby comes and I need some motivation.

Raves: I’m starting to feel ok about people knowing and wearing more maternity stuff. I’ve heard the HB recently so if my patients start to ask I feel ok telling them.

Baby is the size of: ladybug

FTM, Etc Ttm

Appointments: none this week

Milestones: ?

Symptoms: nausea, fatigue, sore boobs, emotional - I cry very easy these days

Rants: Weaned off my anxiety meds, which is almost ironic since I’m going to be on edge until I can get an u/s and see a heartbeat, but I know it’s best for baby.

Raves: Found out another family member is also due in June!

[quinstar]

Week/EDD: 11w 2d

Baby is the size of: Brussel Sprout

FTM, Etc: STM, DS is 20 months

Appointments: 11/15, ultrasound/screening. I actually need to call and see if I should set up an appt. with the MFM doctor, as they're the ones that do the fancy blood tests, and last time we had to come back a few days later.

Milestones: I officially feel outwardly pregnant. I've got the whole swollen belly feeling, my pants certainly don't fit, and I need to break out the maternity ones. I'll buy a couple new pairs of pants after out 12 week appointment.

Symptoms: Headaches, exhaustion, queasyness, lightheadedness, I feel sick when I don't eat, but then I feel like I get full and bloated so fast. I've been very disappointed with my food options this week, I haven't been able to get a finger on what I'm craving, or been able to catch my cravings fast enough.

Rants: See food complaints, plus, this exhaustion sucks. The more I sit, the more tired I get.

Raves: Starting PT for my SI today! He recommended getting a SI belt, and I'm all for that so I hope he gets me set up for one of those today. He also said he'd give me some exercises to help. I'm so excited!!!!

GTKY: I LOVE Thanksgiving, I love cooking for it, I love the food, I love having everyone crammed in my tiny house. I really hope the baby lets me enjoy stuffing myself silly. I also promised myself a half a glass of wine that day too.
