twocupsofcoffee I hope you get positive news soon. Rama fingers crossed for a very wiggly baby tomorrow katietopaz I hope he's able to find something quickly with good benefits. One of my biggest fears before getting pregnant was that I wouldn't be able to use my OB. She's in network for my insurance, but she doesn't usually take it. Fortunately, she's making an exception since I'm a long time patient with the practice.

Age: 27
Height: 5'2
Weeks pregnant: 5w4d
Baby is the size of a: sesame seed
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Finding Out
Appointments: 9/1. I know I've changed this like 12 tomes😳 Finally decided to switch practices because my OB who delivered DD no longer delivers. I actually go for my bloodwork and 1st glucose test Friday morning.
Symptoms: sore boobs, fatigue, pregnancy brain, nausea at some smells (no puking yet), and heartburn
Milestones: ultrasound coming up next Friday.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I can't wait to tell people about the pregnancy, idk why I have such an urge to share. We kept it secret until 13.5w with DD and plan to do the same with this one. But I'm not enjoying keeping the secret this time.

mrsmonogrammed did you have GD last time? I didn't know they did the glucose tests this early. I really hope you pass and continue to pass. Rama I'm crossing everything you get to see a healthy jumping bean tomorrow.

We're in the southwest for a nice long vacation which is why I haven't been around a lot and won't be for another week or two. «vacation for: DH being finished with school, babymoon, 5th anniversary celebration(we're going where we met and where we were on our honeymoon) catching up with family we couldn't travel to while DH in school»
Bonus points for bloat, blump, bump pics:) **edit Nevermind Idk why but my picture is blank this is from last week(10 weeks), I guess I never got around to posting last week.
Age:25
Height:5'8"
Weeks pregnant:11
Baby is the size of a: hummingbird that's the size of a bumblebee. El oh el.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ftm
Team: need to know
Appointments: had ultrasound last week, next appt is mid September
Symptoms: nausea and exhaustion are mildly subsiding, possibly constipation(I should have remembered to start that TMI thread yesterday 😧
Milestones: baby can smell?!? Idk what else
Rants/Raves/Vents: We're having a great time but DH doesn't understand my need to eat small amounts frequently and he's getting frustrated that I can't survive eating as much as he does and only 3 meals a day. Lol.

Rama I'm crossing everything you get to see a healthy jumping bean tomorrow. I actually did have GD last time, but my new dr does 1hr GTT on all first tri blood screens. He says he catches a lot of early cases. Or at least enough to make him keep it as a 1st tri screen🤷🏼♀️ Even if I do have GD again (likely) I'd really love to make it at least a little later in pregnancy before diagnosis. It was my least favorite part of pregnancy😒

Age: 33
Height: 5' 6"
Weeks pregnant: 7w
Baby is the size of a: Raspberry
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: I am starting to think about team green but I don't think my DH will agree and I know my sister and Mom will really push us to find out
Appointments: Dating U/S was today. LO is measuring almost a week smaller than expected. I thought I was 7w6d but they are saying 7w0d. I am sure of my dates so I am a little concerned. OB next Tuesday.
Symptoms: overall yucky feeling with a little nausea, tired, and always hungry but wanting to eat nothing because nothing is appealing.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: Got to see the HB today. It was 133 which makes me feel good despite measuring small. Seeing the HB makes it seem more real.

nuggetrn that stinks about your nt. i would be super disappointed. not as accurate, but could you get like a quad screening done or something similar? Rama good luck today. all the positive vibes being sent your way! stardust84 that sounds like a great heartbeat! maybe the measurement was just bad? i know these techs do these scans day in and out, but i feel like it would be so easy to be off by a little when it's so early. i hope you get some reassurance soon.

Weeks pregnant: 6w6
Baby is the size of a: ladybug
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green for sure
Appointments: 2.5 weeks to go 😫
Symptoms: lack of appetite, constant nausea, tired
Milestones: nada. Just trucking along. There is a huge consignment sale near-ish to me soon and I might take a peek at the newborn/baby stuff. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable enough to pull the trigger but maybe?
Rants/Raves/Vents: I still think first tri is the worst. I'm too anxious to buy/plan/get excited. Work is really really hard - things are a little crazy right now and I just wish I could tell everyone I'm pregnant and not hungover/slacking.

Update: I got my blood test results back today and numbers are going up! My doctor's exact words were "You can be cautiously optimistic" so I am trying to be! Whew. Not a fun ride.

Yea I still could get the blood test done at any point but it would be a lot more expensive than the NT was going to be. We did just change insurances so maybe with the new one it would be different? I just don't know how desperate I really am to find anything out though. I might look into cost once the new insurance goes into affect at the beginning of September

Age: 33 Height: 5'3" Weeks pregnant: 12+4 Baby is the size of a: lime FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team: finding out Appointments: 12 week appointment was Monday, next one will be in 4 weeks. No ultrasound but I got to hear the heart beat on the doppler so that was fun. Symptoms: Nausea has passed and now I'm hungry all the time and eating constantly, but also trying to keep it in check so I don't gain a hundred pounds. Milestones: You guys, I might be crazy, but I think I can feel this baby moving already! Particularly when I lay on my back. I've been noticing it for at least a few days but didn't really think anything of it until last night. Rants/Raves/Vents: 8 more weeks until the a/s. I can't wait that long!

girlmom. I've thought the same thing about movement so I don't think you're crazy. I have been really gassy so I've convinced myself otherwise but now you've got me wondering.

Age: 28 Height: 5'6 Weeks pregnant: 6 Baby is the size of a: Battle Ship Peg! FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM? I think? These phrases always confuse me. Do we have a key? LOL Team: Baby! Although DD thinks it's a Unicorn. Appointments: Confirmation of pregnancy yesterday, next appointment on Sept. 14th Symptoms: Oh LORD, what haven't I had symptoms of. OBV, I had a missed period, but before that was a lot of nausea, especially when I first woke up. I also noticed my eczema came back on my back (only had it when pregnant with my DD!), tiredness, food aversions (MAJOR!), and tender breasts. Milestones: I ate breakfast, lunch, AND dinner today! Rants/Raves/Vents: Selfish rant, but I was excited to be the only person in our friend/work group who was pregnant. Found out one of the girls from my former job (where my fiance works) is pregnant, too, and due a month before me. She was always so mean. Photo You can see my bloat. My pooch has also decided to be a cuddle bug & is just the cutest dude ever!
