Weeks Pregnant: 5ish?
Baby is the Size of a: BB pellet/peppercorn
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: TTM
Team: Green
Appointments: Wednesday will be my first Dr appt, since I forgot to phone after getting a BFP. Hoping I can get an US soon and figure out how far I actually am.
How are you feeling? Pretty good here. Drinking my daily afternoon tea because this seems to be the time I get nauseous. That and when I’m around raw meat.
Rants/raves? So weird symptom that I had with my other two - I get a lump in my throat when I swallow occasionally. Any idea what it could be? My only guess would be some weird kind of acid reflux?
GTKY - I am a stay at home mom to an almost 5yo son and 2.5yo daughter. H and I have been together for 10 years, married for 6. I also substitute teach at the local preschool but my average work schedule is once a month or less - who knows if this will change because of covid. I’m from a small town in north/central Alberta so things haven’t been too bad here *yet*.

Thanks for the tag! I was waiting until I had my scan to jump in. I am just a ball of worry. But the morning sickness has hit hard, so I felt safe to join at least today. LOL.
Weeks Pregnant: 5w5d
Baby is the Size of a: Watermelon seed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: This is my 6th pregnancy, I have two living children (who are older! My oldest will be 12 when this baby is born)
Team: Healthy and HERE
Appointments: I meet with my RE weekly for scans. Next scan is Wednesday.
How are you feeling? Nauseous and tired. A very welcome feeling (while also terrible LOL. Working out is helping the nausea a ton
Rants/raves? Progesterone really makes me bloat and that is annoying for many reasons, but I want to hide this as long as possible and 14 straight weeks of progesterone is gonna majorly have me in loose dresses, haha. I have gotten my "glow" which is wonderful. I ordered sea bands today and an oil roller so hoping they help with the all day sickness.
GTKY - Intro? I work full time, remarried, two kids 7 and 11.

I’ll go ahead and jump in since my betas were good.
Weeks Pregnant: 4w6d
Baby is the Size of a: Poppyseed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc.: Third!
Team: I had dreams of being team green if I had a third. I have a boy and girl. But now we are in a new house with a Jack and Jill upstairs plus a separate bedroom. H wants to find out so we can get the bedroom situation nailed down and start decorating. He’s probably right. My daughter really wants a “big kid” room for Christmas.
Appointments: First two betas were great. First scan with my RE 10/7.
How are you feeling? Boob tingles and cramping comes and goes. An more tired at night. I’m sure this next week things will ramp up.
Rants/raves? Nothing at the moment. Just trying to not obsess that something might be wrong.
GTKY - I have a 5 yo girl and 3 yo boy with my H. This will be our third and last! I love cooking and baking. Used to love reading and sports before I had kids, now I just like to watch Netflix lol.

Woof. The nausea is HERE in FULL force. And my boobs are massive and hurt like a bitch. All of this makes me so happy!
Sea bands do help some, now I find myself wearing them about 24/7.
I booked my first appt with my OB for 10/12. I have a scan with my RE on Wednesday and H is coming this time and I am so.excited.

Mine seems to only be when I haven’t eaten in a while which I appreciate. It was so much worse with my older two. Ginger tea has helped so far. I got a prescription for diclectin at my first appointment but haven’t filled it since it’s been manageable.

Today is the first day I felt a little nauseous and a little bloated. I feel better when I eat.
I already ordered my 25mg of B6 and have my Unisom (doxylamine succincate) at the ready. It’s my makeshift Diclegis. Worked well for my with DS and I had to take it throughout my whole pregnancy.

I’m really excited for your H donnameagle. It will be so special. My mom was supposed to watch my son for my first ultrasound but then invited herself instead. So I guess we will plug him into an iPad in the corner lol.

He went to a few of my RE monitoring appointments before COVID and didn’t even look up from his truck game and goldfish when I started undressing. Did not care one bit.

robotsvswrestlers when is your scan? donnameagle yours is tomorrow right? I go in tomorrow as well but I didn’t even ask about bringing H since both kids would be home. DS would catch on and we’re not quite ready to tell the kids.

DS would catch on and we’re not quite ready to tell the kids. Tomorrow AM! Last time we saw a flickering little dot so hoping to see a heartbeat this time that we can calculate. 6w3d now. And I have the bloat and nausea to prove it.
Anyone else fucking bloated out of their minds? It is horrible. I am sure it is the progesterone.
ETA: I left H home with the kids for my first scan.

Ok good! I felt bad not having H there but figured there’ll be more to see at other appointments. And maybe by then we’ll be telling people and can leave the kid(s) with someone. Or I can at least ask tomorrow what they allow.
Also can I just say how glad I am for Hs heath insurance at work that covers prescriptions. The knock off diclectin would have been $98 😳

Thank you! All looks well. I’m measuring 5w5d- so DD of May 28. Totally outside of the realm I thought possible with timing but... I’ll take it. Since it’s so early there wasn’t much to see but she assured me there was something in there. Once she pointed to where, I could see the fluttering of the heart. We could maybe have gotten a better look by doing a vaginal u/s but she doesn’t like to do them this early.

Great whatsit! So funny about the vaginal ultrasound. That’s all I get at my RE until I go to my OB.

Well now I’m sad I didn’t do it.
Might have to opt into the 13 week scan just so I can actually see baby before the anatomy scan.
