Hey all!

What check ins would you prefer to see?

Does anyone mind if I create a post for our loss moms?

How are you today and how are you feeling?

Anything annoying you yet?

[vvvvvfee]

What check ins would you prefer to see? Just some suggestions from previous BMBs-- meal planning, weekly bump check-ins when we're further along (HDBD), FFFC, UO, maybe FTM/STM/working mom check-ins if there's interest?, what is everyone reading/watching, TMI Tuesdays, maybe check-ins by week or by month when there are more people-- there is going to be a huge difference between early july people and late august people... we did a gratitude check-in every once in a while on my previous BMB, which is nice, since i think everyone tends to default to griping (see: my previous post ;P). i am also happy to do a nursing while pregnant check-in if anyone else is still nursing-- that definitely comes with its own set of challenges.

Does anyone mind if I create a post for our loss moms? nope, of course not

How are you today and how are you feeling? my nausea is not so bad today. it was nice to go to my appt finally this morning and not be in limbo anymore.

Anything annoying you yet? All the waiting and uncertainty in first trimester is so hard. I don't really relax and enjoy pregnancy until 2nd trimester.

I'm still nursing my 2yo, though he's dropped to only a few times a week already. DD was almost 3 when he was born and nursed my entire pregnancy. Now I know why your screen name looks so familiar vvvvvfee , from the breastfeeding board, extended nursing check-ins (I've been mia since tcf went away).

I agree with vvvvvfee

All the things other bmbs do. Hopefully if we're more active more people will start posting.

Omg. I bought a pack of Archer Farms Peanut butter chocolate trail mix and it is just amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been wanting steak. It just sounds so good.

I am also still nursing my 16 month old 2 times a day but I will wean this next month. I need a breastfeeding break between kids.

My cravings have been weird and not normal for me. Salad, water, lots of fruit, lots of milk (more than usual), and a bit of an aversion to sweets.

After I pick up DD from preschool I'm going to make hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot because I've been craving them. I normally don't even really like eggs.

I'll gladly send you my salad craving! I bought a premade salad last week that looked good and when I got home and opened it there was mold right under the label. I've never been so disappointed about a salad

Had my first OB appt. had a bedside ultrasound and was able to see the yolk sac. Pain on my right side is a cyst.

I was obsessed with salad when I was pregnant with my son. I never liked salad before, so that was a nice side affect of that pregnancy. I still love a good salad!

I got my repeat hcg results today.

At 4w 3d my hcg was 254
At 6w 4d it was 24,424

I never knew the numbers with my other pregnancies. I googled and now it seems low to me? I know the range is so huge but pgAL brain is getting me.

I don’t know how to interpret. Maybe you can find an huh calculator? I wish I was an expert on these.

[kam3100]

I just found a calculator, seems like they are ok to me. I’m not a specialist at all though. Would your doctor me amicable to a phone call?

vvvvvfee I’m still nursing DD3 too. She’ll be 2 in January and I’m not sure how long I’ll keep going. I nursed DD1 through DD2’s pregnancy and then tandem nursed, but they were closer together so it made more sense. I’m not sure I can handle the awful BH it gave me again.

When i talked to the nurse about the numbers she said they were good and my Dr is happy with the progress. Idk
