[mrssqueegy]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 6, 15 weeks today



2. Symptom check: Still a bit nauseous at times, but overall feeling well pregnancy wise.



3. What and when is your next appointment? Good question. I missed my appointment this week (see #4) so I'm not sure when I'll reschedule that.



4. Anything you’d like to share? I had appendicitis and had my appendix taken out on Friday. It was quite the ordeal. Feeling better now, but my incisions are still quite sore. The worst part is no lifting for 2-3 weeks which my 18 month old is not liking at all.



5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? Navy blue and teal. My house and wardrobe is full of it.

[budders]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/4, 15w2d


2. Symptom check:
Still a little nauseated, especially when I don't take my Diclegis at night or try to wean down. But mostly just a strong desire to eat all of the things all of the time.
And holy RLP.


3. What and when is your next appointment?
11/22, 16 week appt



4. Anything you’d like to share?
I'm trying not to have my students' parents find out until the December break. I teach students with severe disabilities and the parents tend to vocalize their concerns about how my life events negatively impact them and their kids, and I just don't want to hear it yet. Parents are invited in this week to the classroom, so I already have an outfit picked out that best disguises the bump.


5. QOTW:
I love pink. It's a good color on me, so I have lots of different shades of it in my wardrobe. H has vetoed it around the house, which I'm completely okay with.

[budders]

mrssqueegy, oh my! Glad you're doing okay, hope the next few weeks pass quickly for you.

[leo91]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 6/5, 10w 5d



2. Symptom check: so hungry all the time, nauseous, tired, mood swings. RLP.



3. What and when is your next appointment?

12-11, just a check up.



4. Anything you’d like to share?

I'm having a hard time with eating because I am soo hungry all the time but nothing sounds good and everything suddenly tastes different 😩


5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?

Hmm.. I really just like black lol. I wear a lot of black.

[lovealwaysalison]

mrssqueegy oh man! I'm sorry you had to have surgery.

I had a laparoscopy for my Endometrosis last year when my daughter was around thay age and the no lifting restriction was the worst. I hope time passes quickly for you!

[lovealwaysalison]

1. EDD/How far are you now? EDD - 5/18. I'm 13wks, 3d.



2. Symptom check: Sciatica has started the last few days, which sucks. Still dealing with some headaches and sporadic nausea.



3. What and when is your next appointment? 14 week appointment on 11/14.



4. Anything you’d like to share? There was a day last week where I swear I felt the baby move for a couple kicks. Right where its feet had been during the ultrasound. I know it's probably too early for that but it really felt like when I'd feel my daughter move last time.



5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?

My wardrobe mostly consists of black. Lots and lots of black. Our home decor us mostly gray with navy blue and white thrown in.

[tincupchalice]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 8/14+6



2. Symptom check: Headaches. Still headaches.



3. What and when is your next appointment? End of the month, routine check.



4. Anything you’d like to share? Definitely getting movement!



5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?

Purple is my favorite! But for interior decorating we usually go with forest tones.

[adeline]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 16; 13 weeks 5 days
2. Symptom check: mild nausea when I’m hungry, headaches, appetite can be touch as go
3. What and when is your next appointment? Anatomy scan on 20 December which I can’t believe. That’ll come up so fast. Regular check up with OB is 6 December.
4. Anything you’d like to share? I’m in the process of building our home with my husband and it won’t be done until February. I desperately want to set up DD’s big girl room and start organizing the nursery. It’s very hard to just leave it for later. I like to do this stuff early, especially cause I know it’s a girl now.
5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?
These days I love white and soft pink/peach together. Mostly for DD but I’ve noticed I’ve bought more clothes in those tones recently. I’m planning for the nursery to be quite similar: white furniture, peach/pink tones and floral.

[robot]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 5/31 11w3d



2. Symptom check: still lots of nausea. Bad some days. Heartburn. So much RLP. Mood swings. Night sweats.



3. What and when is your next appointment? I need to schedule my next one. It’ll be around 15w.



4. Anything you’d like to share? Since we got our test results we gave our families the go ahead to start sharing. I got a very excited call from my aunt today so that was fun. I have more friends I can tell soon too, as I see them.



5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?

I love blue, especially teal and I have a lot of clothes in that color. I lean more towards warmer accents in my home though.

[Speedy]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 23/8w1d


2. Symptom check: Nausea, breast tenderness, exhaustion, ligament pain


3. What and when is your next appointment? The 27th with my high risk doctor


4. Anything you’d like to share? So I ended up going over to the ER tonight. I had some bad one sided cramping. Doctor checked and said there's nothing he could see that would worry him and it's likely just the ligaments stretching out. The exciting news though is that there is a baby, it's appropriately sized, in the right place, and has a heartbeat! I'm officially further than both of my losses!


5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? Blue, in all the shades. I have all kinds of colors in my wardrobe but I definitely have a lot of teal. My apartment just happens to be all painted blue too =)

I hope you heal quickly!

mrssqueegy, glad your feeling better and hope your incisions heal quickly.

[numbears]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
May 6th, 15 weeks

2. Symptom check:
Ugh still have nausea and vomiting.
And super forgetful lately. I set my phone (with my debit card, license, and insurance card attached to it) down on a shelf in Target and only realized it when we were leaving and DS asked me to take a picture of a toy he wants for Christmas. Luckily, a lady called it for me while we searching and a family found it.

3. What and when is your next appointment?
NST, next week

4. Anything you’d like to share?
DH is going out of town for a few weeks so we had Thanksgiving today. And since DS thinks Christmas starts right after he eats turkey, it's Christmas season in our house now. He was trying to convince me that we needed to go "buy baby brother's presents right now." Lol

5. QOTW:
Blues, teal, aquamarine

[jaidit]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 20th, 13 weeks, twins

[tinyjoys]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/5. 15+2

4. Anything you’d like to share?
Not that I can think of.

5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?

I tend to gravitate a lot towards grays, navy blue & shades of white, with some color thrown in. They’re in my wardrobe & around my home. It drives my H nuts.

[lily]

1. EDD/How far are you now? - 17June, 9+1



2. Symptom check: nausea, vomiting



3. What and when is your next appointment? - first appt is Wednesday! I hope I like the OB. Mine just retired

5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? - fav color is purple. Yes in my wardrobe, no in my home.

[lily]

Yikes mrssqueegy glad you’re okay!

Speedy yay for healthy baby!!

[tinydancer]

mrssqueegy, oh my gosh I hope you recover quickly! I hope they got it out before it burst.
lovealwaysalison, I swear I felt a few flutters the other day. I know it's probably too early, but they say second time moms feel them sooner.

[tinyjoys]

lovealwaysalison, I’ve been feeling flutters sporadically since sometime in week 11 or 12. Nothing even remotely normal or daily, but once or twice a week, I’ll get them.

[tinydancer]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
June 6/10w5d

2. Symptom check:
Exhausted. No appetite. I puked twice last week. I'm hoping I'm getting over the hump. I've been feeling less tired the last couple of days and my appetite seems better. Last time around I had basically no symptoms at all. It's harder this time. Also my toddler is sick, so that doesn't help.

3. What and when is your next appointment?
12 week check up with midwife on 11/20. I hope I like her. This whole practice is new to me and I was not impressed with the Dr. I met at my first appointment. There are only two practices in my town, though, and this is the only one with midwives so I will probably stay here no matter what.
Genetic counseling and appointment with MFM on 11/27. I have no idea what tests I'll be offered.

4. Anything you’d like to share?
My toddler still nurses about once a day, but I think my milk is drying up. He's asked for a cup of milk several times lately. I'm kinda sad about it.

5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? Bright blue
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? My home decor is sort of ad hoc. I like to call it global eclectic ;-). I wear some blues but also other colors and lots of neutrals.

[kookie3631]

1. EDD/How far are you now? 6/15; 10+1


2. Symptom check: nothing...and it's terrifying me


3. What and when is your next appointment? next Monday for 11 week check-up then NT scan on 11/29


4. Anything you’d like to share? assuming all goes well at our apt next week, we are announcing to families at Thanksgiving!


5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? My favorite colors are black & blue. They show up in my wardrobe all over the place. Our home is only slightly decorated (we've been in our house for 5 years!), but we use a lot of neutral colors.

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/8, 14w6d



2. Symptom check:
I am feeling fine now. Just tired.


3. What and when is your next appointment?
Next Tuesday, regular 16 week appointment


4. Anything you’d like to share?
My husband is coming home this week! He's been gone for work for 7 weeks.


5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?
I wear a lot of black, and my house is a lot of greys and tans. I like neutrals.

[jessila]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 20, 13w1d

2. Symptom check:nausea, tired, short temper especially at night, but starting to have way more good days than bad days!

3. What and when is your next appointment? 16w appointment is Dec 7

4. Anything you’d like to share? I'm going mostly public this week and it's finally making it a bit more real. ETA-based on my NT scan last week and seeing the location of the baby, I have definitely been feeling movement. It's usually just a flick but I feel it almost every day. My stomach is numb in that area from my C/S with my son so maybe I'm more sensitive to feeling the movement since I can't feel anything external there? Maybe? Who knows. 

5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? I love teals and bright blues. I also really like yellow but look awful in it.
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? Teals and browns dominate my house-our kitchen/great room, bedroom, office, and guest room are all within a similar color palette. My wardrobe (thanks KonMari) has a lot of blue, grey, and black in it.

[bebbysue]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 20, 8+5

2. Symptom check: Nausea, food aversions, fatigue

3. What and when is your next appointment? First appointment with the MW and U/S is on Thursday

4. Anything you’d like to share? Assuming all goes well at my app on thursday, I'm going to tell my boss. I'm excited to get it out there since I already feel like she has suspicions.

5. QOTW:
What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color? Favorite color is puple
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe? Most of my wardrobe is black, so not really but I do have one big dark purple accent wall in my house.

[getzystark]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/17 13+4

2. Symptom check:
Still feel like balls. I think it's letting up a little but it still sucks. Last night we had fondue and cheesecake for my husband's birthday and I'm sensitive to dairy, so I'm paying for that today. 

3. What and when is your next appointment?
I honestly have no clue. A month-ish. I had my first OB appointment last Thursday (which my toddler sat surprisingly well for in her stroller) and all was good. She's hoping I don't have gestational hypertension again which is nice. I know regular exercise can help prevent that but I am still so unmotivated. 

4. Anything you’d like to share?
I just can't get up the energy or drive to exercise. We have a bowflex in the basement and I was using the prior to pregnancy and at the beginning but I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. I'm so tired and out of breath all of the time. I'm crossing my fingers that by 16 weeks some of this fatigue lets up and I can start exercising because I really need to keep a handle on my weight this time. 

5. QOTW:

What is your favorite color combination? Or just favorite color?
I love pink and purple. 
Does it show up a lot in the interior of your home or in your wardrobe?
I do favor pinks and purples in my clothing but not at home. Home is usually neutrals with pops of color. Our couch is beige but our accent chairs are paisley with blues and greens and our dinning room paint is bright peacock teal.

Purple is my favorite! But for interior decorating we usually go with forest tones.

I apologize if this has already been suggested, but I started taking Zyrtec around this time in my last pregnancy and my headaches went away. I had no other symptoms but someone here suggested it and it worked miracles.

Same. I’ve definitely been feeling movement since around 11 weeks this go around. But like you said, it was maybe once a week. Now it’s maybe once a day/every other day at 14+2.

It probably is happening more, but I just notice it when I’m sitting & let’s face it, that doesn’t happen often.
