How far are you now? 21,3 Symptom check: Some cramps (BH/RLP?), I hate food again, sleepy, more definite movement!, some movement makes me feel nauseated What and when is your next appointment? Technically, Wednesday because I have to have a follow up on an abscess we found on our appointment last Friday. After that, next Friday for anatomy pt 2! Anything you’d like to share with the group? I'm in a good place about this for the moment. Anxiety has been pretty high this week for doomsy reasons, but despite that, I've been able to keep my cool and enjoy being pregnant and looking forward to having a baby in the next few months.

38,5 I've been having some regular contractions today, but they're still like 15-20min apart and really short. So.....I'm waiting. I'm so tired and sore. I have another NST and fluid check tomorrow which is my last one until I go into labor or am induced on the 28th. Honestly, I'm done. I also have the delight of having a cold and my toddler boycotting naps this weekend and decided sleeping was unnecessary last night. I'm so so tired.

Rama I’m glad you’re in a place right now! GL with your appointments this week! kensie5226 oh man, I hope your kiddo sleeps (and let’s you sleep!). Hang in there! AFM, 8w1d Nausea has ramped up. It’s hard to find things to eat besides pickles and cheese sticks. Super weird. Sore boobs, tired. My 8 week scan is Wednesday. I’m more nervous than I care to admit after last week, plus ***TW loss*** our third loss was discovered at our 8 week scan, so there’s that. I am praying this little one is growing strong.

All the hugs birch113. My last loss was found at that appointment, too, so I empathize with your feels. I hope that you get a picture perfect ultrasound on Wednesday. <3

1. How far are you now? 13 weeks2. Symptom check: Noticing blue veins on my arms and legs, still waking up a lot at night. Getting a slight bit of an appetite back. Definitely starting to see a bit of a bump. And occasionally I am getting sharp pinches in my nipples. Yeow. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Dec 15. I will see the NP for my monthly check up.4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I saw the OB Friday and got my full exam, and heard the baby's heartbeat at 159. We also found out our insurance will cover the Panorama test which includes the gender and we are super excited to know for sure. Rama, I hope that anxiety level stays good for you. kensie5226, Here's hoping that you BOTH get a good night's or day's sleep! birch113, Lots of hugs. Fingers crossed you get a good scan and a sense of peace.

1. 39 + 4 2. Belly is feeling heavy and I'm looking forward to bending over without running out of breath. 3. Went today and I've made no progress. I go back Friday for another non stress test. 4. I can deal with being pregnant another week-week and a half but I don't know if my lady parts can handle that large of a baby 🤣. I guess we'll see!

Rama, glad you are in a good place right now. Good luck with the next anatomy scan! kensie5226, getting so close! Hope you can get some rest tonight birch113, big hugs - FX for a great scan Wednesday mela99, glad insurance covers Panorama! laurensc927, FX you have some progress soon - hang in there! Dogpaddle29, good luck with the growth scan Wednesday! AFM: 1. How far are you now? 9+1 2. Symptom check: Not too much - tired, terrible acne, some food aversions (mostly chicken, for some reason), and SI joint pain 3. What and when is your next appointment? Late next week I go in for the NIPT blood draw, next check is Dec. 18. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? Had my first OB appt + US yesterday - little wiggle baby looked great! It was moving around a ton, which was so cool to see. Measured a bit behind where I should be from IVF timing, but only two days, so they said no big deal. Fast little heart rate like its mama - 180 bpm.

Went in to L&D last night after the advice line said to go and get evaluated. 1cm dialated, -1 station, and 50%effaced. So I am making progress even if it isn't quite go time. The internet led me to believe early labor was just pressure, but that's fucking bullshit. Contractions are irregular and short, but that shit hurts. I have an NST and check this afternoon so we'll see what happens. I'm betting I won't make it to my induction though.

1. 9w5d
2. No symptoms other than freakin tired! And wanting eat all the bagels.
3. I had to go in to my RE for progesterone blood work this morning. I’m out of PIO today but am 10weeks on Thursday, so I’m hoping I’m done and can avoid having to buy a whole new vial just for a couple days. 🙄
4. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It’s going to be a lovely 92 degrees here where I live...yuck, sooo not festive weather!

Rama, Yay for feeling good! Hope your anatomy scan next Friday goes well. Hugs, birch113, I hope your scan goes well. mela99, I feel like I rarely say this, but yay for insurance laurensc927 and kensie5226, I hope babies come soon. I remember those last few miserable weeks of pregnancy. Dogpaddle29, Yay for viability!! daisy818, glad LO looked good. scrang, FX you can stop PIO. They told me I'll be on it until 11 weeks but they'll start weaning at 9 weeks. AFM, I'm 6w5d today. My first u/s is tomorrow and I'm a nervous wreck about it. I had some brown spotting on Friday which freaked me out but it stopped pretty quickly. Symptoms haven't really changed, still on and off nauseous and tired. Appetite comes and goes, but mostly goes lately.

Baby looks perfect! Heart rate was 186bpm, baby is measuring 2 days ahead and was wiggling arms! And we got to hear the heartbeat. My RE is letting me stay on one more week for a peace of mind scan, so I graduate next week. I also stop my meds next Thursday at 9w4d which is giving me all the anxiety. Those that did an FET, when did you stop your meds?

Congrats on a great scan birch113! If you have reservations about stopping your meds, you should let your RE know and maybe you both can come to a decision that you're both comfortable with -- whether that be that they tell you to stay on longer or they convince you that coming off next week will be fine.

Those that did an FET, when did you stop your meds? I’m 10weeks tomorrow and had bloodwork yesterday for progesterone...was only 21 and they want it at at least 25, so I have to stay on it. I’m also still on 2 Estrace a day as well. Will you be getting bloodwork before stopping? I see my Ob for the first time next week so all things crossed I get to stop then!

1. How far are you now? I’ll be 24 weeks tomorrow. 2. Symptom check: it looks like I am going to have nausea and vomiting this whole pregnancy 3. What and when is your next appointment? OB 12/4, MFM 12/5 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I think I am going to be put on medicine for the GD this time. My fasting blood sugar is supposed to be below 95 and it has been running at 99. I know it is not my fault, but I was hoping to just be diet controlled. bananas22 and birch113 I am happy you both had good ultrasounds.

1. How far are you now? 9w4d 2. Symptom check: nausea and dry heaving 3. What and when is your next appointment? First official appointment is on Thurs 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? Got back from 2 weeks in the UK last night. Totally exhausted. Before we left my midwife was concerned about my cramping/spotting and wanted to make sure this baby was in my ute before I got on a trans-atlantic flight so we got a bonus u/s and saw one perfect little bean with a HB of 150!
