[boiler717]

Hi ladies! How are all the babies and mommas doing? Who has appts this week?

Weekly Appts
Tuesday: kdogg, boiler717
Wednesday: ivy; ssg73 (beta)
Friday: @cookiemonster03; ssg73 (beta)

[boiler717]

I have an u/s Tuesday, I really hope everything is okay. I'm pretty anxious about it.
I haven't had any spotting since Friday, yay! My pelvic pain is pretty bad still. Basically any movement at all hurts, as well as sitting up on a hard surface. We are going to the pool for a bit, hopefully that helps take some pressure off. I'm going to skip yoga and walking until I see the doc.

[ivy]

FX for you boiler717! Is this a regularly scheduled appt or are they getting you in because of the bleeding? Glad to hear the bleeding has stopped, but pelvic pain is the worst. There's so much going on in your body right now, things are probably just getting really sensitive?

I have an ultrasound Wednesday morning. Right after we scheduled it, my h found out he has to go out of state that day which is a bummer. I'm still exhausted and hungry all the time. I've gagged a couple of times, but I thankfully haven't thrown up yet. Food is becoming more difficult. I can't even talk about it sometimes. And omg the bloat! But I'd take it a million times over just to be here.

[kdogg]

Thinking of you boiler.

Getting anxious as I'm 9 weeks and this about how far along i was with my last pregnancy. Actually not so much anxious as i am terrified. We go for an ultrasound Tuesday morning. For the past couple days I can barely sleep from worry.

I still have a ton of symptoms which helps me feel a teeny bit better.

ivy it's my regularly scheduled 10 week appt

Is it lightning crotch? I had that BAD with V and basically couldn't move for shooting pains up through my vag and pubic bone.

Hey all! So far things are good. Pretty fatigued and sore nipple but that's it. In every previous pregnancy I've started spotting no later than 5w1d and I'm 5w2d with no spotting ::knock on wood:: so starting to get a little optimistic. My MIL found out last night... she was scrolling through pictures from our vacation on my phone and I spaced that I took a picture of my pee stick. She promised to keep quiet until after the ultrasound which is Tuesday 6/16. Tomorrow is our 7 year wedding anniversary

[ginkgoleaf]

Doing good, just bloated, hungry, and tired.

Ultrasound and graduating from the RE if all looks well on 6/15, which is also our 8th anniversary. Have a midwife appt scheduled that afternoon too.

[whodey]

Good evening ladies - glad to hear everyone is doing well

dollyllama - we must be DD twins, I'm 5w2d too.

Mostly just sore nipples and exhausted starting mid afternoon. After having horrible back pain on Fri and Sat and not feeling much today I decided to buy a CBE weeks estimator HPT, I probably should have waited until FMU, but instead I took it when I got home from the store after only waiting about 2hrs, it indicated 2-3wks instead of 3+, which sent me into a panic, but after reading some of the other reviews that the weekly indicator is way off I'm feeling a little better...I may get a beta tomorrow just to ease my mind...that's what my RE gets for giving me an undated lab work form-lol

No appointments for me this week

ETA: I'm relieved that my beta today (24dpiui) was 8,149 - all is good...I thought I would be much calmer the second time around, but apparently I'm not-lol

[cactuscookie]

I'm getting hit by some fatigue, but it's not too bad. I went to the zoo with my sister and BIL and nephews this morning, and it got so hot and it seemed like we walked forever. My limbs just feel so heavy!

No appointments for me until Thursday 6/18.

[belovedbride07]

I'm exhausted and feel pretty crappy today. Yesterday we drove 2.5 hours to tell the ILs in person (and then we Skyped with SIL and GMIL); that was pretty exciting, but we had to get up before 6 to make it back in time for church this morning. My anxiety had been remarkably low, but it seems to be flaring up today. My next appointment isn't until 6/22, and I can hardly wait! I want "photographic" confirmation my babies are doing alright in there!

boiler717, I'm so glad your spotting stopped!

[loira]

6w1d here (by O date, not LMP). Anxiety has been replaced for the moment by my renewed intimacy with the toilet bowl, which is masochistically comforting. H keeps asking me questions I'm not ready to answer about long terms plans (things like mat leave and where we're going to live etc). I'm not planning anything around this thing. I wish they still had those Victorian homes for illegitimately pregnant women so I could go stay there, sequestered away for the duration of my pregnancy, and not have to deal with people invariably asking stupid questions about due date/finding out the sex/how excited we are. Nobody wants to hear 'no, I'm not excited because my last baby died.'

[MrsAggie]

So happy for everyone here

[boiler717]

Yes loira!! It hurts so bad, if I lay completely down in my pregnancy pillow it just is a dull ache instead of super sharp pain, but it's so uncomfortable. Laying in a pool float yesterday also felt nice so I am going to try swimming for exercise today.

[boiler717]

whodey my weeks estimator still said 2-3 during my 5th week

[boiler717]

Double digits!!! 10 weeks today.

[Muddled]

I'm so glad you're puking, loira! It is oddly comforting, isn't it?

[whodey]

@cookiemonster03 & boiler717 – it’s good to hear real life stories where the “weeks” indicator was off. I went upstairs for another beta today just to calm my own fears and assuming it comes back ok – I swear I’m done. Now I need to call me RE and tell them what I did – sometimes it’s better to asked for forgiveness than permission – lol – really I don’t think they will care.

[ssg73]

Is there room for one more? I know that dw is like a minute pregnant but I want to play too.

[boiler717]

Of course ssg73!! You have betas wed and fri, right?

[ivy]

Good luck today kdogg and boiler717! Thinking of you both!

[boiler717]
