Forgot to post this earlier this week, oopsie, so here tis belatedly

How far along are you? EDD?

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?

Any other word vomit to share?

[sarahh]

How far along are you? EDD? 20w2d due Jan 2

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - I'm starting to feel the baby move more regularly which is reassuring but I'm having some shooting pain down the side of my stomach which I assume are BH but I don't know. Emotionally - okay. I have a follow-up ultrasound from my AS to get one additional picture in two weeks so I'm sure I'll get anxious before that as usual.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Follow-up ultrasound in 2 weeks.

Any other word vomit to share? Nope!

6w3d
April 9, 2018

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I'm nauseous and exhausted
Emotionally I'm anxious, but have been so busy I haven't had much time to focus on things.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My next appointment is August 30th with an ultrasound.
I have passed 5 of my 7 loss milestones

Any other word vomit to share?
My first ultrasound was Monday at 6 weeks. Baby measured 1 day ahead with a heart rate of 105. Doctor said baby looked perfect!

[mattsgirl2004]

Lots of hugs misspatty! Hope the ultrasound helps calm your anxieties.

How far along are you? EDD? 24 weeks tomorrow. Delivery set for 12-6 by RCS.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, mixed. I feel super big and tired all the time. And I'm STILL puking about 1-2x a week, which is irritating. Emotionally, doing pretty well. She kicks regularly and I love feeling her move.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? None until next month.

Any other word vomit to share? Not really - I've been doing ok lately, thankfully. Hugs to those of you still in the early stages - mattsgirl2004, misspatty - I think the days before regular movement are SO hard.

EDD? January 7
How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Still some random nausea and food aversions. Also tired. Heartbeat made its first appearance last night
I was pretty anxious about my anatomy scan but now riding the reassurance
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Had my A/S yesterday and everything looked perfect. Confirmed it's a boy
Any other word vomit to share? I'm starting to feel more frequent movement which is nice

[flippinchica]

sarahh yay for movement!
mattsgirl2004 yay for a good first ultrasound!
misspatty I'm sorry for the anxiety. Hope it eases soon
@officerdronette the puking sucks but definitely worse once you are past tha point it "should" get better.

How far along are you? EDD?
22w, 23/12

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically fine, I get occasional pain in my lower back /hips, but I have a massage booked for tomorrow so that should help! Emotionally, I'm still a bit detached from it all. I get anxious before appointments and I am really scared about the anatomy scan next week but at the same time I have felt so little symptoms that I have a hard time believing it is really happening. I do feel movement now, so that helps, but the self preservation is keeping me a little removed from it all.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Anatomy scan next week.

How far along are you? 31+3 EDD? 10/18

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Emotionally drained and physically drained. My Dad has advanced staged Alzheimer's and has been completely non-communicative lately so that's adding to my worries. I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of time left but I don't relish the idea of a 2 hour flight at 32+ weeks pregnant and I have no PTO so I'd have to take unpaid time off work.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Growth ultrasound on Friday plus a regular OB appt.

Any other word vomit to share? Nothing right now.

[addymac]

bootsorhearts1 I'm so sorry about your dad. I hope it's just having a few(?) bad days and will bounce back for awhile so you don't have to fly so late in your pregnancy 😕

[justbecause]

How far along are you? 14 weeks today EDD? February 18

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I get a little sore when I over do it, tired, hungry lol

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
We had an appointment this week. Baby boy was wiggling around and kicking the Doppler. Blood tests all came back normal, too.
Any other word vomit to share? The nurse said they would call about my results but they never did. I guess they don't call and put them in your online chart. Ugh. I could've spent less worrying.

bootsorhearts1 I'm so sorry about your dad. HUGS friend!

[snowyowl]

How far along are you? EDD?
14+4, 2/15/18.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I'm much less tired than I was first tri. I feel functional again. The nausea has improved as well. I can drink a cup of coffee in the morning, which feels lifesaving.
Emotionally I'm in pretty good shape... I have my doppler for bad days and so far, this little guy has been easy to find when I want to. I get nervous about "jinxing" it, but I try to remind myself that no amount of confidence is going to decide how my pregnancy goes. Rational brain vs. PGAL brain, as always.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Just had my monthly appointment, which was uneventful. I'll have another on the 8th and then my anatomy scan on September 21st.

Any other word vomit to share?
I haven't been here much as I've been a little busier. I'll try to keep up better!

[muscari]

Posted the checkin and then forgot to check-in myself doh.

How far along are you? EDD?
40w5d - my edd was last Thursday darnit LOL (the 17th)

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Pretty much done with being this pregnant by now. I so want this baby out! Yet at the same time I feel bad for signing her eviction note for later this week...

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Had a check-up on Friday as well as yesterday, and we've decided to go ahead and schedule induction for later this week. I'll go in for a balloon catheter on Wednesday morning, then will be able to go home for 24h and back to the hospital Thursday morning to get the party started for real. Aaaaahhh.

Any other word vomit to share?
I feel a little guilty for forcing babygirl to get out, but it's time... I'm both freaking out at the thought of labor so soon (finally!) as am so excited to be able to finally hold my squish by the end of this week. What a rollercoaster these past months have been!

[muscari]

sarahh, the shooting pains could also be RLP perhaps? Good luck with your f/u A/S!

mattsgirl2004, Yay for a great U/S and *hugs* for passing so many loss milestones.

misspatty, so sorry you're dealing with so much stress and anxiety. I hope your U/S today goes well and will give you some peace. *hugs*

officedronette, I was utterly annoyed by the fact that for me the nausea and puking didn't stay in the 1st trim but followed me allll the way into 2nd and 3rd. Sorry you're still dealing with it as well!

flippinchica, yay for a good anatomy scan, great news and such a reassurance! Gratz on team blue

Waffle, hope the massage was awesome! I hear you on feeling detached, MH&I felt the same way for the first half of this pregnancy.. but once we had our A/S it started to become more and more real. GL with your A/S !

bootsorhearts1, I'm so so sorry about your dad **hugs**

justbecause, Ugh I hate it when they promise to call then don't. Glad all came back okay!

snowyowl, glad to read 2nd trim is treating you better then 1st was!

[snowyowl]

Aaaaah, muscari, so exciting that your little one will be out in the world soon! It's hard to make that decision to evict, but some babies are just a bit too comfortable hanging out where they are 😛 Good luck with everything!

[snowyowl]

I'm so sorry about your dad, bootsorhearts1. The uncertainty and waiting can't be easy. Take care of yourself.

[mattsgirl2004]

muscari So exciting that you'll be holding your baby so soon! Wishing you a smooth and safe induction and delivery!

[Waffle]

muscari

Don't know what happened there!

Was trying to say thank you! Massage was great and we finally had the scan and everything is normal! I feel so relieved and like we can start planning now.

Wishing you a smooth and happy delivery!
