This one hates bacon 😒😒 it does like coffee though! this is also mine! Coffee is amazing by itself, although it tasted funny today. The THOUGHT of bacon was really nice, the actual bacon was NOT FINE last night.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 4w3d/speck of glitter/Oct 11 - i liked the glitter better than the poppy seed analogy!
FTM, Etc: 3TM
Appointments: OB 2/12, MFM 2/14
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out everything around 14-16 weeks - genetics, blood type, and gender
Milestones: first gagging experience?
Symptoms: tired, headache, achy breasts, gagging, and difficulty chewing some textured food
Rants: see the symptoms. I've been an early symptom person each time I've been pregnant, so this is no different... we also told my parents on Saturday night, and they were excited but it was a very underwhelming reaction. Some might be their own anxiety about how this will all turn out, and some might have been the shock, but it still bugged me a bit.
Raves: I ordered a bloom planner to keep all of the MFM appointments/notes in, and I've been playing with the stickers and markers tonight! Also, I'm still pregnant.

Go figure this one would decide to change things up 🙄

Week/Fruit/EDD: 5w 1day/Oct 9 FTM, Etc: TTM Appointments: I need to call my OB Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out!! With two boys, I need to know whether I need to buy baby clothes or not Milestones: like marshian said, a good first ultrasound is the biggest milestone for me, and I'm filled with doubt until that point Symptoms: Tired! Everything is smelly, strong gag reflex, occassional cramping, bitchiness, sore breasts at times Rants: I'm still getting a tiny bit of light pink discharge about once or twice a day. It drives me crazy every time I see it. Also, I wake up so thirsty Raves: I need to stop taking tests, but the line was still nice and dark today.

thinkchocolate05 I didn't test for a few days then did yesterday and got much darker lines than I have gotten so far. Now trying to stop completely but it's tough!

I tried from abstaining from testing more than twice even though I really really really really want to. But with DD2, I took a test a few days after another test and the line was lighter and I LOST IT and thought for sure it was a m/c and ended up doing betas and all was well but I lost a lot of sleep over that so I told myself I wouldn’t do it again. However I think the only thing stopping me is the fact I don’t have anymore tests in the house.

I’m just over here singing the praises of zofran. And here I was thinking yesterday “oh, this come and go nausea isn’t so bad.. this must be what normal MS feels like” it’s like my body went “really? Think so? Hold my beer!” 😒😒
Disclaimer- I had to take some Saturday/Sunday, too, but both boys had the stomach bug so I was happy to blame that as the culprit for needing zofran. Jokes on me

My nausea has been coming and going, too. It gets better when I eat, which is different than my other pregnancies. I'll take it, for however long this lasts. I have to keep reminding myself that it's still early and there's plenty of time for the throwing up part to kick in.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 4+days/poppy seed/Oct 14?
FTM, Etc: STM
Appointments: None yet - I just messaged my OB through MyChart, so let's see what she says. Last time I couldn't get my first u/s appt until 10 weeks, so my mmc went undetected for a month. I'm really hoping to get in sooner than that this time. This is a new practice/dr for me since my son, where we had no issues getting appts and u/s whenever we wanted. Anyway, I mentioned in my message that I'm 40, have PCOS, and had a recent loss, so I'm going to drive myself crazy until they get me in there. Hopefully they take pity on me.
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Finding out fo sho
Milestones: I'm here
Symptoms: Sore boobs
Rants: Dr. appt rant above
Raves: I'm just happy this finally happened. Trying not to worry too much.

Week/Fruit/EDD: 4w/poppyseed/10-15
FTM, Etc: STM
Appointments: second beta tomorrow and us on 2/22
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out. Will be doing NIPT
Milestones: first beta is 61!
Symptoms: starting to get some nausea. Hoping I don’t get full blown HG like last time. Mild cramping, increased smell, mild bloating. The usual.
Rants: today was an insane day and I’ve really not eaten much of anything but I’m also nauseous. I’m ready for tomorrow.
Raves: the rest of the week doesn’t look bad and I’m crossing fingers for a good doubling beta.

kalirn hooray for a great beta! And FX you don't have HG. I was diagnosed with HG in my second pregnancy and it was the absolute worst. I hope you don't have to go through that again.

Hi! I’m cautiously jumping in here. Got a positive last week, after feeling really queasy. DH and I have been fence sitters for a while re: number 3...But here we are. DS just turned 6 last month and DD will be 3 in May.
Week/Fruit/EDD: 4w/Oct 16
FTM, Etc: 3TM
Appointments: Feb 25th intake
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out, likely with bloodwork since I’m over 35 this go round.
Milestones: Lines have been getting darker since last week. Happy to have made it past previous CP date.
Symptoms: I’ve never been this gaggy this early. DD was weeks 6-14. I have a feeling it’s about to get real.
Rants: So much stress trying to hide a pregnancy at work. Trying hard to covertly avoid anesthesia, x-ray, and the afternoon coffee run.
Raves: Ordered ginger candies on amazon that are arriving today!

Question: I’m 34, but will turn 35 about a month before my due date...will they consider me AMA? (I’m thinking yes right?)

This is my first post. I’ve been lurking for over a week and decided it’s time to post.
Week/Fruit/EDD: 5w4D/Appleseed/Oct. 5th
FTM, Etc: 4TM-I have a 5 year old bio daughter and two foster kids ages 2 and under who will likely be living with us come EDD. (Even though we were TTC with 3+years infertility when I took the pregnancy test the first words out of my mouth were “oh s***” because I never expected I’d get pregnant again).
Appointments: Feb 26th I’ll have an 8wk ultrasound
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): so long as the foster kiddos are living with us I don’t think we’ll find out the sex of this one as we have one of each already.
Milestones: Still pregnant and feeling some mild symptoms which is always reassuring.
Symptoms: They come and go. Sore boobs which can be barely there all the way to painful depending on the day. So hungry on and off which I suspect is tied to when I eat a lot of carbs or not. Some mild cramping and RLP.
Rants: I hate pooping and going to the bathroom in general because I’m always checking for spotting. I miss just casually going to the bathroom without giving it a 2nd thought.
Raves: I’m super excited about this pregnancy which is funny because the idea of having 4 kids is mind boggling and totally unexpected. Having 3 other kids reinforces to me that we can do it-what’s one more 🤷♀️

Boobies are sore today. Now is it pregnancy or the fact that I weaned DD2 and they are confused?

Week/Fruit/EDD:7w5d, due 9/20 baby is the size of an earbud
FTM, Etc: STM
Appointments: scheduled for 2/28
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): will find out
Milestones: I scanned myself last week and saw the heartbeat ❤️
Symptoms: I’ve been feeling ok but tonight I just feel crappy. I don’t know if it’s the dental work I had done(for a crown put in) or baby but I’m not digging it. I keep pushing on my boobs to make sure they hurt, haha. Also very tired.
Rants: in this moment, I’m super hungry but nothing is appealing. I ate some easy Mac but it didn’t do anything for me. Also have a headache.
Raves: we told our 5 year old Sunday. He was excited, it was cute. But I think he’s forgotten already? He hasn’t said anything. I think he’ll get it more when we can say for sure sister or brother.

The tech was able to see it with the external probe, but couldn’t get measurements so the other one it was. I was fully expecting bad news, so I’m in a bit of shock still.
