Rants: Nope. Just stressing about my appointment. I'm still at work so I need to pick DD up from school, take her to my parents' and then hope SO picks me up on tme to make it to the appointment all before 3pm. I can leave work in about 20 miutes. Guess I had a rant afyer all.

Raves: Making it to 20 weeks. If all goes well at the AS I'll be back later to rave:)

[friendofdobby]

Yay sammysam for AS today. All the good thoughts for a great scan!

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out

Milestones: nothing new

Symptoms: tired

Rants: so I just got a call from my OBs office and got the news that my NIPT came back as inconclusive due to low fetal fraction. I’m so frustrated! This didn’t happen my last pregnancy but I did have other issues with the test. So now I go back on Friday for a redraw. My hopes of knowing before valentines are shot. Not that that was important but still frustrating nonetheless. And this is after I had to drive to pick up my husband from a meeting since he was feeling ill and threw up in my car. I can’t handle the smell!

Week/Fruit/EDD: 12w4d?/Apricot

FTM, Etc: STM

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Green

Milestones: 2nd tri soon? The chart at DD's doctor's appointment said 2nd tri is now?

Rants: We've all had this cold for a week. I took DD in because her cough didn't seem to be improving. She's fine, apparently colds last like 10 days. Yippee. 

Raves: I'm feeling better about my body by choosing to just hope people will get that I'm pregnant and not just slightly overweight when I wear maternity clothes.

Milestones:
Symptoms: feeling better, still tired. I think I’ll just be tired the rest of my life 😜
Rants: ready for spring!!!!!!
Raves: My 4 year old DD just got glasses. I’ve been pretty emotional about it, but she is being so wonderful and cooperative. In baby news, I’m glad I’m starting to actually show instead of that awkward body phase.

[sammysam]

eleanorshellstrop I had hopes of having my results for Xmas. It didn't work out that way and I know when we find out isn't the important thing but I get the frustration. Sorry you won't have them back for Valentine's Day.

Also my AS went so well today. Baby was wiggling like crazy and doing the cutest things. To me she looks totally different than DD did though. Even in utero DD was a clone of SO. This LO looks more like me (actually more like my sister). And I found out I have an anterior placenta again...so that explains only feeling shots to the bladder and nothing else.

Raves: I'm feeling human again most days.

[irish14]

elodin omg how did you do the weaning? I’m 14w and need to do this in the next few for my almost-2 (for my own mental health, more power to women who tandem but it’s not for me...)

[irish14]

Appointments: today

Symptoms: was sick a couple times with a stomach thing, then a weird strep-like thing, then a cold, so have actually lost weight from when we conceived... yikes. OB not worried yet but mentioning it, and I feel like I should probably get on top of this soon. Must. Stop. Getting. Sick.

Rants: work is getting crazy again, people keep asking Em to do stuff

Raves: good appt today other than the weight loss, heard a strong hb yay!

I stopped offering and if he asked I tried to distract him or offer a little snack. It didn't work everytime at first. He was only nursing in the morning and maybe once or twice during the day and was kind of dropping bedtime nursing on his own so I ran with it. Dropping the morning was the hardest, but now he'll just cuddle in bed with us until we get up and not ask for babas.

I felt the same as you. Well, also him nursing was kind of painful. But the thought of tandem nursing personally made my skin crawl. Definitely not for me. And I love nursing my babies.

irish14 I have lost weight with each of my pregnancies. Granted, I am "obese" by my BMI to begin with, but I typically drop 15-20 pounds in the first 16 weeks and then gain it back by the end to be a net zero weight gain. It's never been an issue and my doctors have never been concerned!

[eleanorshellstrop]

sammysam I know when I find out isn't important. I have a worried feeling in the back of my brain that everything isn't ok and not knowing is just making me keep thinking those thoughts.  It's hard not to.  I just want to know for sure that everything is ok.  

[cookswithwine]

irish14 I am down 5lbs which is weird for me. This didn’t happen with my 1st pg. but I started off at a higher weight this time so I am thinking that might be why.

I completely understand this and I'm sorry the lack of results is making it worse. I would have been freaking out if I had gotten no results as well. Just having mine take 17 days to come back had me convinced something was wrong. I had a few friends who got similar results but everything was great once it was redone. I am sure everything will be great and hopefully you'll get results back quickly with the next draw so that it will help to ease your fears.

[sammysam]

irish14 I was down about 15 lbs in first tri...but it is all creeping back on now. I'm up about 1lb now at 20 weeks. With my first I was underweight when I got pregnant and continued to lose through 1st and 2nd tri but I started gaining by 3rd tri when it mattered and at the end the weight came on quickly when needed. The doctors will let you know if they start to think it is becoming a problem. Lucky for us baby will always find a way to take what they need from us!

Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): finding out

Raves: almost halfway there!

[irish14]

Thanks for the thoughts and accounts all. I definitely still was hanging on to a few extra from the last baby so maybe this baby just wants to make all her own baby weight, hahaha
