1. How far along are you this week? 8w. It is exciting since this is the "most pregnant" I have ever been. 2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I still feel pretty crapy. I am tired all the time. Nausea comes and goes. I did go to the gym on Saturday and brought workout clothes on my work trip. 3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Seeing the hb. Otherwise just grateful I am pregnant. First tri is not fun lol. 4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? My mom was out of town for Mother's Day and has claimed Memorial Day for her reschedule.
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I am now at the point where I have a gagging session when I first wake up in the morning. But I'll take that over the vomiting. Oh, I also ordered the crib, mattress & free bassinet (thanks to the free Target promo!) this week. I know I'm early with this, but I couldn't pass up all the promo codes I stacked.
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Telling everyone. And seeing the baby on the ultrasounds and hearing the heartbeat. It melts me every time.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? Just a family cookout. We are low key holiday people.

1. How far along are you this week? 38 weeks tomorrow!! Can't believe we will be meeting our baby girl so soon!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Worried about having to be induced due to the preeclampsia and how the preeclampsia will affect my plans to try to delivery naturally. I'm worried I will be confined to the bed and not able to move around and use the tub/shower.
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Feeling her kick and move! It really never gets old!
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? As long as baby girl decides to stay put I will be heading to my sisters to do some planning for her upcoming wedding!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I had a growth ultrasound today and baby is measuring right on schedule. One of his kidneys is borderline dilated, but the doctor didn't seem concerned about it, so I'm trying not to worry too much. I got back in 4 weeks for another scan.
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? When there's a line at the bathroom at work, people let me go first!
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? No plans. I can't believe next weekend is already Memorial Day.

9w6d Vents: I have to do an early gd test due to pcos in a few weeks I've loved telling people and seeing the heart flicker and hearing it today. Magical! We have a bbq for bils college and birthday dinner with my family since we will be camping for my bday.
1. How far along are you this week? 37 weeks on Wednesday - yay full term!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? Finished my freezer stash and I'm on weekly appointments now!
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Feeling this baby move - I can feel and see so much more with him than I could with DS1.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? This was our long weekend. I spent it cooking. Next long weekend will be spent as a family of four, knock on wood!
tiptoetulips when are you having your GD test? I was wondering if my OB would keep me on metformin or if I would have to test early. I already told DH to grab me a meter the next time the rep is in his office!
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I"m now big enough that I've outgrown all my t-shirts. my belly sticks out the bottom of all of them.
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? I can't really complain, I've had a really easy pregnancy so far (knock on wood), but I can't say that I especially enjoy this process. MH is pretty amazed by the whole thing though.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? not really. we were supposed to do some work on our new house but seller is renting back, which was kind of a last minute thing, so it was too late for us to really plan a trip. maybe we'll try to hit up rose's luxury while everyone is OOT? as far as the rest of the summer, I'm going to try my very best to rip MH away from the house for a weekend to go to the beach and I"m taking a weekend girls trip to chicago that I"m really looking forward to.
ETA: MrsMB or anyone else in the early days who is not nauseous and anxious about it. . .I'll add to the chorus and say I never had any nausea or food aversions. some people just don't get sick. but it made me SO ANXIOUS and I fixated on it a little more than I probably should have, but everything is going just fine now. non-nauseous first tri grad stories made me feel better at that stage so I'm paying it forward.

1. How far along are you this week? 14 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I actually feel like I'm getting some energy back
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? The special treatment from DH
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? My mom is coming down next weekend so we will do some shopping and eating out
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I'm having lots of back pain while I'm sleeping. I found a pillow set up where I made it 4 nights without pain but it hasn't worked the last 2 nights so I'm feeling frustrated. At least I feel pretty good sitting during the day.
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Feeling her move and seeing her on ultrasounds. I'm also enjoying having a cute belly before it gets too big.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? We have a party to go to on Sunday and the rest of the weekend will be working on baby and house projects.
tiptoetulips when are you having your GD test? I was wondering if my OB would keep me on metformin or if I would have to test early. I already told DH to grab me a meter the next time the rep is in his office!
Around 12 weeks My ob said the most recent data she read recommends staying on the metformin. It reduces your risk for gd, high bp, and large babies which could mean c sec. I personally respond well to metformin with very few side effects so I'd rather stay on it and I'm glad she agrees.

1. 12 weeks today!
2. This pregnancy rhinitis is KILLING me. I have sinus issues anyway, so coupled with seasonal allergies, being pregnant, and flying for work, I feel like my head is going to explode. I haven't found any relief for the last few weeks... does anyone have any suggestions? Also, we have our harmony test and 12w ultrasound on Friday, so I'm looking forward to that!
3. Telling my grandma. She was adorable! With my last pregnancy, that ended in a loss, we only told our parents. It was a really special moment (heart)
4. We have some friends having a birthday pool party and aside from that, we're in the process of redoing our kitchen, so I'm sure we'll have to spend a bunch of time working on that.

1. How far along are you this week? 18 weeks
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I ordered a snoogle pillow this week. It has been so helpful to my sleep!
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? The last 2 weeks or so. Other than back pain and my normal migraines, I'm feeling great. I have energy, nausea is gone, and I'm finally enjoying pregnancy. The first four months were constant worry, stress, and feeling crappy & out of breath.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? I'll probably work out in the morning and hit the pool in the afternoon
2. Pregnancy-related AW/vents/randoms for this week? I'm having a baby Thursday! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
3. What has been your favorite part of being pregnant so far? Feeling the baby move and feeling connected with him.
4. Do you have any fun Memorial Day plans? Or for those not in the US any upcoming summer holiday plans? I'll hopefully be getting discharged from the hospital Monday and get to go home with my baby and DH after close to 6 weeks in the hospital. I'm looking forward to it!

Fwiw, I stayed on metformin but my gd test wasn't early. I did it at 24 weeks. The day I got the results that I passed, I stopped taking it.

Are you opposed to a Neti pot? I've been using one for about 8 years and it was a life saver in my first pregnancy.

I second this. I LOVE the netipot. It was a lifesaver when I was sick last week.

I use a neti pot twice a day when not pregnant, but I'm so congested now I can't even get water to pass through. It's the worst!
