I'm flying out to Salt Lake City for a conference this morning so was up at 4 to make my 6am flight.
I was worried it would be an ordeal to not go through the body scanner but actually turned out to be not that bad. The TSA guy was super nice and gave me the option of the metal detector or pat down and I chose the metal detector.

I'm sitting in the exam room at the OB for my normal appointment (pee, weight, check baby, etc) and the doctor is already 30 minutes behind and I had the first appointment of the day. Sigh. This doctor is usually good about not making patients wait a long time so I guess I've gotten lucky so far, but I still hate waiting.
I weighed myself this morning and I'm up 4 lbs since last week I was trying so hard to not gain weight in the first tri and I hope so bad that this is just bloat. My stomach looks big and it sucks that it's getting nice here so it's not like I can wear a big sweater to cover it up. I know I haven't been eating perfect, but didn't think it was that bad. My water intake hasn't been the best though so today I'm upping that to where it should be and really watching my food. I've been trying to do more fruit and veggies but I know I've had a lot of sugar and salt. I know mentally I'm going to struggle with gaining weight. I get that I have to, but it's still hard.
My kid dropped off the monkey bars last night in the back yard and I caught my thumb awkwardly in her armpit. Now I have a sprained left thumb. I don't think its broken, thank god, but I'm annoyed about it. I couldn't do their pony tails this morning. I'm having issues lol.
I wish this baby would move around more in my tummy. I don't feel it very often yet. I thought I would feel more by now. So its making me nervous.
Lucky! No TSA agents have ever given me the option of the metal detectors in lieu of body scanners! And some of them grumble and act like I'm ruining their lives when I ask for the pat-down I'm legally entitled to. /rant

Could you have an anterior placenta? I felt my baby moving for the first time at 18w. Now, at 25w, it's still only intermittent and just strong enough to occasionally feel from the outside.
I didn't at the NT scan. I suppose it could have moved. I had one with my first baby and didn't really feel much until 22 weeks or so. I'm just praying movement picks up here in the next week or so.

I hope you have a nice trip!
Thanks! FX it's that easy coming back when I'll be with my coworkers who don't know I'm pregnant yet.
linz - The first tri is mainly about survival. If sugar and salt get you through the day, then they get you through the day. Obviously we all need to eat a balanced diet when we can, but don't stress yourself out over it. Your body is gonna do what it's gonna do in order to grow the baby.

I feel the same at 18 weeks. I think I feel something, then don't for a few days. I didn't feed DD until after 20 for sure though.
I also feel very little movement, at almost 22 weeks. My doc doesn't seem concerned, and the heartbeat is strong, it's just kind of discouraging to not feel much. (I am sure eventually I will eat these words, but for now, I wish I felt more.)
I had physio for my SPD this morning and I swear she made it worse. She never actually touched me, but gave me some exercises to do. At least DH is being sympathetic, he has promised to sort out dinner later. Right now I am sitting outside DS' school. Pick is only in 25 minutes, but I was hoping for a parking bay right outside, yeah, that never happened.
Last night was a scary evening. I was coming home from work & felt off. As I got to the train I felt I could pass out. I was dizzy, light headed, and breathing heavy. I got some cool air which helped. When DH got home I told him I wanted to eat dinner to see if that helped. An hour later I called the doctor on call. My OB had given me beta blockers for my migraines which can lower blood pressure too. The doctor on call said all my symptoms were normal for beta blockers. She suggested I stop taking them immediately since I had only taken them once.
The doctor I talked to last night I had spoke with a few years back during a miscarriage. She had put in a standing order for betas and followed me briefly as the betas came in over the years. She was so excited this pregnancy has been successful.

I told my best friend about our trouble TTC in December (she lives across the country and I see her about 1/year). She emailed me 3 weeks ago and was all "I've been praying for you and we should talk soon!" So I responded with my tentative schedule and asked when she was free to talk. Silence. I've reached out a few more times since then, and she's only responded to a FB post with a "I'll call soon!" - that was over a week ago.
I'm really excited to tell her we're expecting, and I know she's really busy, but I'm hurt.
So our water is currently shut off while the building is getting an inspection. It's now been shut off for two hours. And the plumber flushed both our toilets to make sure it was shut off. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I can't pee! Luckily I'm doing okay at this point, and the water should be back on soon, but I'm making emergency pee plans just in case.

I'm sorry, I'd be disapointed too. Have you tried just calling her? My friend and I have the same problem sometimes. We try to schedule phone calls, but something comes up. When one of us just calls, it usually works out much better. Hope you get in touch with her soon!
I think I was having some random contractions last night and definitely had menstrual-type cramps all evening til I fell asleep. I'm so uncomfortable in any position these days. I know my body is just getting into "preparation for having a baby" mode, and it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going into labor. But it sure makes me wonder! It's hard to believe we are only a couple weeks (or less!) away from meeting our real, live baby!

Just pee right in the toilet and wait to flush till the waters back on!

I came really close to peeing in the top hat my OB's office gave me for the 24 hour urine collection, and then they turned the water back on. Phew!

I gained 10lbs in the first tri both pregnancies since I couldn't deal with healthy foods and I had to eat constantly to keep the nausea under control. but it all evened out in the end! I'm +32 total now which is perfectly reasonable for the end
dont worry, just get through the first tri any way you can!

The cashier at Target today asked me how many months I had left. I had no clue what she was talking about for a good 3 minutes. I'm only 9 weeks 3 days! I'm still so weirded out that people can tell I'm pregnant already.
DS is a smart kid and had overheard us talking about the baby I guess. He had been asking to kiss his baby in my belly and if he can see it through my belly button. I love this age. It's adorable.
My bloating is out of control. I'm in so much pain in the evenings and it feels like there is no room at all in my body. I feel like my skin might rip apart. I watched the sun rise this morning because I was so bloated I could not sleep. I'm having a hard time picturing the next 6 months. I always assumed the start of the second trimester would be nice. I can barley stand to walk! I'm guessing it's all downhill from here, right? Oye.
