polson Thanks! It’s from Old Navy and it’s not even maternity so I didn’t even feel bad buying it knowing I could wear it after baby too. I’ve been trying to shop less, but it’s just really not possible for me. 😬

Weeks pregnant: 18w2d Baby is the size of a: sweet potato FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Blue Appointments: A/S in 2 weeks Symptoms: Heartburn, lots of movement, falling asleep fine, but waking MOTN and having trouble falling back asleep. Milestones: It occurred to me this Monday that I went 10 days early w/ DS and I have a feeling my OB may not let me go past 39 wks (especially if I need an RCS), so I'm almost halfway. What the what?!?!?!?!?! Rants/Raves/Vents: Minus the heartburn, I feel like I'm at that truly glorious part of pregnancy. Although I'm somehow at a point where my pre-pg tops are getting waaaaaaaaay too small (as evidenced by today's bump pic), but my maternity tops still look huge. GTKY: I bought my first gift today - a trike for DS (he asked this week if he could take home the one from DC, lol). Lots and lots of other gifts to get, and only a few ideas so far...

polson Oh yeah, every 4 weeks. I'm AMA anyway.. so no biggie. 2 VC are SO common, and even more common in girls and twin pregnancies - and even though there's not twin, technically there was at some point. leatherpants - thank you - I'm not too terribly stressed about it. She has no other markers for trisomy, so I think we are good. Once we get over the potential heart issues, which they don't see anything yet, I'll be even more relaxed. I do worry about slow growth, but again, I think we'll be okay!

Weeks pregnant: 15 on Saturday.
Baby is the size of a: somewhere between an 8oz filet mignon and a cinnamon roll, both of which now sound delicious.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: third.
Team: green.
Appointments: earlier today with the OB. All is well and we go back in 4 weeks, which is also the day of my anatomy scan.
Symptoms: nausea, heartburn, some exhaustion, and a UTI/bladder infection.
Milestones: sporadic movement.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I woke up with a UTI this morning. Luckily, I was seeing the OB today anyway and I can run pick up the antibiotic prescription once the big kid is out of school in an hour or so.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Started & about... 60-75% done. I need to make my brother a care package to send his way (he's stationed in South Korea), but I have no idea what to put in it so far.

Weeks pregnant: 24 wks 1 day Baby is the size of a: garden eggplant FTM/STM/TTM/etc: first take home baby Team: Pink Appointments: This Friday is our repeat a/s Symptoms: insomnia mostly, sporadic sciatic pain Milestones: DH felt baby move. Just barely. Still waiting for it to become more apparent for him. Rants/Raves/Vents: I hate second shift. Sleeping sucks and I feel like the laziest person alive. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I may have a few gifts I have bought this year but I need to do an inventory and make some decisions about what else we are doing. I never made it back here last week with a picture. Oops. Sorry! For your viewing pleasure 😊😊 Some days I feel like I am actually pregnant. Lol

Weeks pregnant: 19w6d Baby is the size of a: adipose, mango FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM (4th pg) Team: Blue! Appointments: Check-up next week, repeat a/s in three weeks Symptoms: heart palpitations (that started earlier this time), RLP Milestones: DH felt baby move for the first time! Rants/Raves/Vents: I had two people this week tell me I look like I'm carrying a girl. Okay? It has been weird how different this pregnancy has been from the one with DS. I'm kind of glad we know it's another boy, because I'm afraid if we'd left it a surprise, I would have had my hopes for a girl very high. And I admit I'm still getting used to the idea of being an only-boy mom, so comments like that irk me. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I am...completely not on it. Not one gift has been bought. We don't even have lists or ideas from family. Oops?

Are heart palpitations a normal pregnancy symptom? I had some the other day and was a tad concerned.

Are heart palpitations a normal pregnancy symptom? I had some the other day and was a tad concerned. Some heart palpitations/heart racing/etc areusually considered normal. I had them my pregnancy with DS and called my OB in a panic because I was seeing floaters too. She said as long as they stopped fairly quickly and weren't happening all the time (I don't remember the exact guidelines she gave) then not to worry. Something about the heart having to pump more blood than usual when you're pregnant. It can't hurt to call your OB and ask if you're worried!

cornpop, I believe they *can* be, but may be worth keeping an eye on and mentioning to your OB as well.

And my OB said it can happen more when you are lying down since something about your heart and vessels and something. Anyways, that's when I notice them most.

Weeks pregnant: 21 weeks, 5 days. Using IVF logistics I thought my due date was 3/17/18, but I found out they still go by LMP so it is 3/16/18 and I have had it all wrong. It doesn’t matter much because the MFM wants me to deliver at 39 weeks.
Baby is the size of a: Baby Bok Choy
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: Second take home baby.
Team: I wanted to be green, but my husband wanted to know. So the u/s tech told DH when I was in the bathroom attached to the u/s room at our appointment yesterday. I heard them saying he’s a lot and I don’t think they were talking about DS. However the tech said she was having trouble getting a good image of that area so who knows if it is accurate. Either way I am preparing myself for it to be a boy. This is our last child and it looks like I need to come to terms with never having a little girl. My mom and I have the same middle name and I really wanted to have the opportunity to pass it on so I am a little sad. I am happy the baby is healthy and know I will love them just as much as I love DS.
Appointments: I had one with MFM yesterday and one with the OB today. My next appointment with MFM and with my OB will be Dec. 4
Symptoms: mild nausea, tired, moody/emotional
Milestones: I had a good a/s. I can feel kicks when I place my hand on my tummy.
Rants/Raves/Vents: My BP was normal today, which made me happy. I did my early glucose test today and the tech drew my blood at 50 minutes instead of at an hour. If I fail because of that I will be angry.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? I haven’t started shopping yet. We do secret Santa’s threw draw names for my side of the family’s siblings gifts and the big family Christmas party, so that makes things easy. So we only have to buy for the niece and nephews and parents. The five nephews on DH’s side always get cash. We don’t exchange gifts with my husband’s siblings and their spouses. So Christmas shopping is easy for me. DH is difficult to shop for.
Sorry I was really wordy today. I have a lot on my mind.

Rama my MFM doctor wants me to deliver by 39 weeks too. I had similar feelings/thoughts as you. I just want this baby to stay put until March. My family has too many February birthdays, so this one needs to have a birthday in a less chaotic birthday month.

Weeks pregnant: 20+6
Baby is the size of a: pomegranate
FTM/STM/TTM: second take home baby
Team: green
Appointments: anatomy scan was today- everything looks good!
Symptoms: heartburn and insomnia
Milestones: I'm pretty sure people aren't questioning if I am or not.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I finally told my boss yesterday and she said she had heard rumours. So one of my co-workers must have spilled. I'm not really mad, but it caught me off guard.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping: I've put a small dent in my list.

babybean that's what my midwife told me when we were weighing the pros and cons of the screening-that there were a lot of false positives for placenta issues.

woodenshoes I’m surprised they still use your LMP for your due date. I’ve always had them use my IVF stats since we know “exactly” when everything happened. They just ask if it’s a 3dt or 5dt. Either way I guess it doesn’t matter since it’s a day off!

Ok, trying to jump in more! Weeks pregnant: 18 weeks 2 days Baby is the size of a: sweet potato FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM Team:Nosy, find out all the things when we can! Appointments: I have one Monday. I don't know if they'll do the A/S then or have me wait. Symptoms: Exhausted....like always. Where is the damn 2nd trimester energy?! Also struggling with managing asthma so that sucks. I kind of grew attached to breathing. Milestones: Feeling some real movement. Yay! Rants/Raves/Vents: My OB's office called me and told me my doctor has to leave early on Monday so I'm seeing a different doctor that day. I'm sure it will be fine, I just really like my doctor. GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? Yeah, I suck and haven't started yet. I do have shopping done for DD1's birthday next week but that's as far as I've been able to get. ETA photo

Weeks pregnant: 23w 1d
Baby is the size of a: Barbie doll
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green
Appointments: tomorrow. I’m driving into the city to meet with a new OB. I’m hoping I like her better than the one who “delivered” DS (was not in the room to catch him and didn’t see her until an hour or two after the fact, even though I had massive bleeding) wow. Hello rant.
Symptoms: hip pain, fatigue, varicose veins, congestion. And oh.... my husband stinks (see post in unusual symptoms thread)
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: this baby kicks a lot less than G did so I worry a bit. It was around this time H felt him kick but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a while till he can feel this one.
GTKY: Have you started Christmas shopping? Stuck on any gift ideas that we could maybe help with? G just had a birthday and Hs is Friday - so just trying to get those done with before I go hard on Christmas. Since I’ll be in the city tomorrow I might take a look if I have time.
I need to remember to take photos....
