Weeks/Due Date - 10w4d / June 11
Symptoms - nausea still coming and going, occasional puking/occasional gagging with no puke, exhausted, waking up at night to pee, sooo thirsty, headaches.
The Good - the worst of the sickness seems to have passed. Right now I basically have a good day followed by a bad day. So at least 50% of the time I'm golden (as long as I eat enough, otherwise even a good day will go sideways).
The Bad - DH has been gone nearly a week and we still have 2 more to go. So days when I'm sick really really suck, trying to take care of the boys. I also haven't been able to do any of my Christmas shopping yet and I'm usually like 90% finished at this point, so I'm getting anxious about how much will need to be done in the next few weeks.
Milestones/Appointments - Appointment with my Rheumatologist next week.
To Do List - nothing baby related, just cleaning and keeping the house organized. We're listing it for sale today!!

Weeks/Due Date - 8w 2d/June 27th
Symptoms - fatigue, bloating, sore boobs, nausea, vomiting, cramping, light spotting.
The Good - still pregnant
The Bad - nervous about the cramping and spotting even though I know it can be normal.
Milestones/Appointments - I have a 9 week appointment next Tuesday. I really hate the timing of it though.
To Do List - not much currently.

Radley will you get an ultrasound or anything next week for a little reassurance with the spotting?

Weeks/Due Date -
10w6d/June 9
Symptoms -
headaches, dizziness, fatigue
The Good -
I seem to be craving healthier foods with this pregnancy? Weird but OK with me.
The Bad -
My OB doesn't like the location of my upcoming vacation (Fiji) because of Zika risk. But I've done a lot of research - the whole country only had one reported case in 2018 and none this year. I bought the super bug repellent lotion and DH and I will be applying it liberally. Looking at the numbers, it doesn't seem like a large statistical risk. For some reason it makes me feel better that Meghan Markle went there while pregnant. If it were Florida or Mexico or something, I'd consider changing the destination, but we planned this trip a year ago and everything is paid for, and we're going with friends.
Milestones/Appointments -
Anxiously awaiting my NIPT results, NT scan a week from tomorrow. ETA - Update - just got the call with the results, and they're negative for major trisomies! Woohoo. And it's a third boy. DH and I are still processing. Not the sex we were hoping, but of course way more important that the health results came back normal.
To Do List -
Not baby-related, but my head is spinning a bit about our schedule between now and the new year. I'm at out of office meetings most of this week, next week I host Thanksgiving, the following week we're out of the country, and then exactly two weeks after we get back, we all fly cross country to spend 1.5 weeks with family for Christmas. All good stuff, but SO MUCH to do between now and the new year.

Weeks/Due Date - 8w1d, 6/28
Symptoms - heavy boobs (taking off my bra at the end of the day sucks), nausea (especially if I eat something greasy), headaches, bloating, painful acne breakouts, easily winded
The Good - some symptoms are starting to lessen, still KU
The Bad - nothing too bad to report on at the minute
Milestones/Appointments - nothing until December.
To Do List - prep for thanksgiving. I’m considering setting up my Christmas tree but the thought of fluffing it is deterring me. We did get Christmas lights up outside this past weekend so at least that’s done.

Congrats on the food results sdlaura. Also I get it. We have 2 boys and this will be our last. We didn't think we'd have any so we are over the moon regardless, but it sure would be nice to have a little girl. trtlcrzy I'm debating taking out our Christmas decorations or waiting until DH get home early December. On the one hand I really don't want to handle all that mess by myself. On the other hand there are certain things (our advent calendars for example) that I'd really like to have out before December. |

Weeks/Due Date -17w, twins will be delivered somewhere between April 1-20
Symptoms - just growing a lot and feeling that stretching and muscle pain with all the rapid growing. It is much more uncomfortable than with my son. I’m still taking daily walks and it’s amazing how much slower I am already lol.
The Good - I found out the sexes yesterday. It’s not official til my 19 week appt in a few weeks but my doctor and the tech that poked their head in were both confident that we are having two boys. I could also pretty much see it as well. So I’ll have 3 boys which terrifies me lol. I’m also a little bummed because I’ve always wanted a daughter but it will all be fine and of course I will love my boys like crazy!
The Bad - nothing really at the moment. I feel like I have let my family down in a weird way since everyone was hinging on the hope of a girl because our family is so boy heavy for generations. But obviously nothing I could do to control it.
Milestones/Appointments - Team double Blue, had an appt yesterday so next appt is my a/s on Dec 5.
To Do List - Too much lol. Right now I’m focused on getting my H to actually start thinking about and narrowing down our name list.

willow DH's family hasn't had a girl born in like 25 years. The youngest few cousins (DH's generation) are boys, and then of all the cousins who have had kids so far, all 13 of them have been boys. There's still lots of kids to be born yet as plenty of the cousins are younger and won't be having any for years, but everyone is waiting for the girl to be born. (My side of the family is pretty evenly split so far)

I feel this weird sense of duty as the only girl to have the next/first girl though. It’s stupid but people kept saying “hope there’s a girl in there!” So I felt a sense of pressure. Oh well. |

willow and danib I feel selfish feeling gender disappointment since I do have one girl. But I’m still surprised to have 3 boys in a row. What you said willow about other people’s opinions/reactions is actually one of the things stressing me out. I feel like I could better justify a fourth kid if the baby were a girl and our daughter could have a sister. I know it’s silly. There’s so much more to a kid than their gender. And I absolutely adore my boys.

Weeks/Due Date - 11+4, June 5th
Symptoms - Still so tired, intermittent nausea
The Good - Slowly feeling better
The Bad - My bloat is growing and I still plan to hide this pregnancy for at least another week.
Milestones/Appointments - Next Tuesday. I’m seeing my favorite MW so I’m excited.
To Do List - Nothing baby related. I finally ordered Dd2s shirt that she is going to wear on thanksgiving as our announcement. We are just going to put her in it and see if anyone notices. It says “I’m thankful because I’m going to be a big sister.”

Radley will you get an ultrasound or anything next week for a little reassurance with the spotting? For some reason I didn’t get a notification that you quoted... I just saw this when I came to check the thread! I’m hoping to have an ultrasound. From what the OB coordinator said, it’s routine for them to do a 9 week one, but this is a new OB office for me (high risk now) and they have not been great at getting me in/seen and she pulled some attitude about me having already had two ultrasounds. So we’ll see 🤷♀️ |

Weeks/Due Date - 10+4/June 13
Symptoms - getting better! Still more tired than usual, and wanting to eat more (maybe it’s just habit at this point though, lol). But the nausea has gotten much better. Oh, my skin is hit or miss as well but eh. OH and the bloating. Bloating is still awful. But I guess I’ll take that over nausea and crazy fatigue.
The Good - I have actually had energy to do things yesterday and today. Yesterday I deep cleaned/organized my room, bathroom, and closet.
SO is also slowly telling me he likes more and more names on my list. I’m feeling better about not having to compromise as much as I thought we might have to in the beginning.
The Bad - nothing really
Milestones/Appointments - I had my first official ob appt today. Everything went smoothly.
To Do List - nothing really baby related at the moment, just a bunch of boring adult stuff I need to catch up on.

Do you guys mind if I jump in here? This is the only active 2020 bmb and I just wanna talk about being pregnant with people! 😭😂 (pregnant emotions, lol).
But also, I am anticipating (hoping for) a June baby... I was induced with DS at 37+3 due to high bp and since my actual edd is 7/12 I really feel like this is going to be an end of June kiddo for probably the same reason.
Weeks/Due Date - 6w3d / July 12th. Baby is the size of a ladybug!
Symptoms - occasional queasiness throughout the day, bloating, fatigue, tender breasts.
The Good - just that I'm still pregnant!
The Bad - I feel like my symptoms are so mild that I don't have much to complain about.
Milestones/Appointments - first OB appt on Monday, I am getting so excited to see how it's going in there!
To Do List - nothing yet. I decided I don't think I am going to focus on baby "stuff" until after the new year since this will be our last holiday season with just DS (4 yo). He's at the prime age where everything is so magical and I just want to enjoy him and that experience.

Weeks/Due Date - 10 weeks /3 days
Symptoms - So much nausea, I feel like I’ve been drinking like 5 gallons of whole milk (I don’t like milk). Everything I eat tastes yucky, except for cheese and certain vegetables. Stretching cramps.
The Good - I stopped all shots on Wednesday! My bank account and but are very happy. Completed all first trimester blood tests.
The Bad - Feeling anxious, like am I still pregnant, is he ok. I feel like I want to go to one of those 4D ultrasound places.
Also, the OB intake nurse scoffed at me stating I wanted to try a VBAC. My old OB told me I was a great candidate considering I dilated 9.5 cm and had a c-section because of fetal distress.
Milestones/Appointments - First OB appointment 12/2
To Do list- A bunch of stuff, but right now just rest and grow a human.

ttcbabyj my best friend had a great VBAC - but it was essential for her to have a supportive doctor. I think that’s the only reason it worked. She went into the hospital with some light contractions near her due date and the nurses tried to admit her even though she wasn’t really dilated. And her doctor was like ‘come on, guys, she’s trying for a VBAC. We definitely don’t want her sitting here before she’s really progressing.’ She went into real labor a few days later and had an uncomplicated VBAC. My dilemma this time is going to be whether to consent to getting induced. My labors have gotten faster. With DS2 I ended up driving myself to the hospital and having him 45 min later (luckily DH made it). And DS2 was born on the floor of the hospital lobby - the staff did get to me as he was popping out and put down blankets  My OB would like to induce so we have some predictability. But I’ve had such nice quick and easy births with zero interventions that I’m worried about messing with that.

sdlaura that's a tough one. How far are you from a hospital this time? Or is there the potential to stay super close at the end of your pregnancy. I ccan see the concern of possibly having a car baby and wanting to avoid that... But also understand not wanting to mess with an induction.

danib we’re 30-45 min from the hospital where my OB delivers. But there’s a closer hospital in the same hospital system that’s only 15 min away. So that’s a good idea - I’ll talk to my OB about maybe just going to the closer one. My OB hasn’t actually been there for any of my kids’ births since she was on vacation for DD and the other two came so fast. So I’m not all that concerned about who delivers.

ttcbabyj nurses with no bedside manner really annoy me. What difference is it to her if you want to (and hopefully successfully do) have a VBAC. Rude. Did you bring it up to your doctor at all? sdlaura I would totally schedule induction because the thought of not having my baby at a hospital and all the complications that could happen freaks me out. For the record, my second baby I got induced with and it was a wonderful experience. It went quickly and they didn't even have to use pitocin. So I wouldn't rule it out just yet.

trtlcrzy I will speak to the OB on 12/2. If I speak to the doctor and she really thinks I’m not a good VBAC candidate that will be fine. But I just want to consider all of my options.

Oh yeah I get that. I meant more so that they know the nurse is speaking to patients like that. She shouldn’t be making judgement calls, or at least keep them to herself. |
