belovedbride07, that happened to me at the anatomy scan. I started to feel hot and gross and had to lay on my side for awhile to feel better. It surprised me since I never had that with DS, but I guess it's worse with two. Hope you feel better soon!
cactuscookie I definitely still need to keep up with the diet to help with weight gain. I hope I can be a LITTLE less strict. I don't need treats every day, but right now I'm doing 2 a month and I would really like to not stress about eating a cider donut or something.
Yay, shoeless! I know it can be complicated raiding a girl especially if you have a complicated relationship with your mom, but I'm sure you'll do great!
This is what I'm worried about too. I guess I just try to look at it like "I have a chance to do this right". We're team green, but I think about this a lot. I actually have several books in my amazon cart about this (well more a mom with BPD), but still. Does this mean Im having a girl?! OMG...

I have a terrible relationship with my mother and have since I was a kid (though I didn't realize it wasn't normal at the time). I'm having a girl, and I'm excited to have a shot at a normal, healthy mother/daughter relationship, but also a little concerned about repeating patterns. Not terribly likely since my mother is an alcoholic narcissist, of which I am neither, but how many learned mothering behaviors will I have inadvertently picked up? My sister is the most kind, patient, caring, and loving mother I've ever seen (complete opposite of our mom), so I'm hopeful, but I certainly understand the fear of not getting it right.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

kellikans, Rh bloodwork was done at my initial OB appt along with whatever else they draw. There was like 8 vials they took.
I didn't get the Rhogam shot until 28 weeks though. I'm a tad jealous of all you lucky + positive blood types out there. One less needle. With me being A- and my H A+, I needed it.
I hope Monday's appt being more reassurance for you!
I've had the Rhogam shot multiple times. Once after my miscarriage, again at 28 weeks, and again after birth. I'm B- and my husband is O+.
The first time they did it in my butt. Of course now after PIO I could probably do it without even flinching, but at the time it hurt like hell! The other 2 times they did it in my arm.

I have a so-so relationship with my mother. She's not a terrible mother, but I didn't always agree with her life choices (boyfriends mostly) and I remember trying to tell her stuff way back when and she'd brush me off.. so now she wonders why I don't tell her anything! She is a good grandma to my son though so I can't complain too much.
I hope if this ends up being a girl (and, not gonna lie, I'd really love a girl!!!), that I can have a better relationship with her than I do with my own mom.
Oh lord, you guys, I am so bloated! I'm 8w and out of town with only my normal (nicest) work clothes. I brought some Spanx pantyhose, but I'll wait until the last minute to put it on and hope that I can survive all afternoon during my presentations. I put on a skirt suit this morning, and the waistband keeps riding up. Lol. I don't really want my big boss to know yet, as I'm hoping for a reorg and some more responsibility, and I worry how being pregnant would affect that decision.

Mushe - I find hiding it at work to be the hardest thing! I am constantly wrapping my work cardigan around me as, while I can wear maternity jeans, they're constantly falling down and showing the band. I've been here almost 5 years now but recently we were bought out by a holding company and, while I'm not overly concerned about losing my job, I definitely see them reorganizing things and I don't want to get screwed just because I'm pregnant!
Although I will be announcing by Halloween (if all goes well with the Panorama test) so then I guess all bets are off.

i bounce between wanting to buy all the books and install all the apps...and being so scared i'll somehow jinx this pregnancy if i do. meanwhile, i almost cried when DH was telling me stuff he was reading in a dad book he downloaded!

hot mess express, party of one.
DH gets these Fatherly things and I think it's adorable when he mentions stuff he learned
callmehales I get that. I won't put my name on the TTTC grad sticky in case something goes wrong and I have to delete it. I know that nothing I do changes anything but it's still hard to get over there jinxing feeling.
I haven't put my name on any sticky, though I did post in the post-it. I don't have a ticker either. Less than a week to viability - maybe I'll relax then?
Viability + constant movement is definitely helping to ease my anxiety
The movement is sooo helpful. And I've managed to only fall into the "but I haven't felt movement in xxx hours, something must be wrong" trap a few times.

So, a note about jinxing things by making them official in light of the TTTC grads google sheet I put together.
I will add your name as soon as you start posting on this board. It's nothing official or permanent or anything. It just means you post here and it makes it easier for me (and anyone else who wants to check the link I posted in the other thread) to remember what stage you're at. No big deal. No jinxing.

The movement is soooo reassuring, but I have to watch out for "oh hi, Baby A. Wait, when was the last time I felt Baby B? Have I felt her at all today?" It's so hard to not worry!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

See, somehow this makes me feel better. Like, if I'm on the spreadsheet its REAL. Clearly, I'm a loon.
Speaking of dressing for work, I just went through my entire wardrobe looking for an appropriate outfit for a meeting tomorrow. I'm 'out' at work but the outfits that even still zip make me look like I ate to much and the maternity clothes are too big. I suspect I'll be getting plenty of odd looks tomorrow.
