How far along are you? (weeks/fruit): 13w + 2d / lemon or jalapeno
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, better-ish. I remember week 15 with DD it got a lot better so I've been counting down, almost there! Emotionally, I thought I would feel a lot better after my appointment last Thursday (that went well). I'm still nervous though. Maybe when I feel movement... or after the anatomy scan... I feel like I keep pushing back my "safe" point in my mind.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment is in a little over 3 weeks and anatomy scan in around 6 weeks.
GTKY: So far I've got Sex and the City (which I've never watched) and West Wing (which I've also never watched!).

How far along are you? (weeks/fruit): 14+1, a peach
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I am pretty good. Headaches still there, but nausea is much less frequent now. Emotionally, I keep thinking "Oh, after THIS milestone" I'll finally feel better about this pregnancy and be able to enjoy it. Then that milestone comes and goes and I'm still worried!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Next appointment isn't until 9/11.
GTKY: Any shows you are planning to binge on during maternity leave? I haven't given this thought yet! Maybe I'll rewatch Parks and Rec or The West Wing- it's been awhile for those two!

pinkcat and smores H and I binge watched WW when I was pregnant with DS2. Such a great show and really made my pregnancy just fly by. We almost named DS2 Josh from the show. I loved the Josh and Donna dynamic. Smores - I can't believe you have never watched SATC! You have so much to look forward to. AFM - I'm feeling good. Weird cramping over the weekend but I had days like that w DS1 and 2 so I'm trying not to stress. Now, for shows, I feel like I watch everything but there has to be something left for me to watch! I've seriously watched everything. I'm watching Power now (Stars and Hulu) in addition to GoT and we just finished Ozark (didn't love) Pinkcat - we need to find out when Crazy Ex Girlfriend starts up! They are filming now. This show makes me so happy it would totally get us through newborn sleep deprivation.

I agree rebeccabunch! I am soooo excited for the next season! That would be a total lifesaver during maternity leave. |

How far along are you? (weeks/fruit):
14+4, brilliant beet
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
Physically I have more energy, thank god. Emotionally I'm feeling good. Everything has been good so far, I just hope there are no (unpleasant) surprises waiting for me.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones:
Just had an uneventful monthly checkup. Heartbeat sounds good. Still dealing with the dizziness of low blood pressure but it isn't as bad as it was first tri. My anatomy scan is September 21st. I think once that is over and hopefully everything looks good, I'll feel pretty confident.
GTKY: Any shows you are planning to binge on during maternity leave?
Not sure I'll have time with a toddler and a newborn!

smores and pinkcat I am the same way. I keep thinking I pass my “safe” point but after each appointment I move it back. rebeccabunch I loved Ozark. I can’t wait for the next season. How far along are you? (weeks/fruit): 21w Endive/baseball hat How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically - leg numbness is still happening and some ankle swelling, headaches, some RLP Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Follow-up AS ultrasound next week. Hopefully we can get a cute profile pic this time. GTKY: Any shows you are planning to binge on during maternity leave? Since we cancelled cable I feel like I'm behind on everything. Luckily DD will be continuing preschool and the sitter while I'm off. I want to catch up on some of my favorite HGTV shows (house hunters reno for sure) and also married at first sight. I only saw the first 2 seasons before we cut the cord so I think I have a lot to catch up on.

I'm 16w 6 days (pop/soda can) today and physically feeling great. Most of my regular clothes are still fitting but I'm pretty sure I'm starting to round out a little bit (hard to tell with the belly fat). Physically and emotionally I'm doing good, we had a scan last week with MFM and our doctor said she saw nothing alarming, so that combined with our low risk blood work and NT scan I'm focusing on the positive. We've started work on the nursery and most major (non registry) purchases have been made. I'm starting to let myself be excited and to think "When Faith is here we will..." instead of "If Faith is here we will..."
GTKY: I haven't thought about it. We binged House of Cards this summer and I can't think of anything that interesting that I'm not caught up on.

I have been keeping up with threads on this board but doing a terrible job posting. So I thought I would jump in. How far along are you? (weeks/fruit): 13 wks 3 days How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I am still just very tired all of the time. I can't wait for this part to pass. Emotionally I am doing mostly ok. I realized at our NT on Tuesday that I wasn't holding my breath and praying for a heartbeat. I felt more confident that it was going to be there and this pregnancy is going to work out. On the other hand, we were in a very minor car accident on the way to NT. We were going way less the 5 miles per hour when we got rear ended by a car who was rear ended by the car behind her. So everyone was driving pretty slowly and our car and the car behind us were basically stopped. I hit my head against the seat which have me a headache that lasted about two days and that was really it. Went for NT about an hour and a half later and baby was moving around and had a perfect heartbeat before it settled in for a nap. I felt totally fine that everything was ok the day of but the more days that pass the more nervous I get about not checking for a heartbeat for another almost 3 weeks. I think if I called and asked for an US they would likely oblige but I kind of feel like a crazy person. I also feel like I have earned that right. Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Every day right now is a milestone. My next appt with the OB is 9/14 GTKY: Any shows you are planning to binge on during maternity leave? No plans right now... I am sure I will find something though  |

nuggetrn, I can understand wanting another HB check, have you thought about getting a doppler? It might help since you are far enough along you should be able to find it fairly easily. And try not to worry about the accident. That barely qualifies as an accident and baby is well protected in there!

And try not to worry about the accident. That barely qualifies as an accident and baby is well protected in there! I have absolutely contemplated getting a doppler and this may just be what pushes me over the edge. In my very logical medical brain I know that there is no way that baby was affected by this very minor occurrence. My PGAL brain has all sorts of other ideas though. |
