I'm pretty early along, but hope it's okay for me to join in!

1. 8w2d with baby #2
2. I had a very easy pregnancy with my DD but I am having awful all-day nausea with this pregnancy. My midwife recommended Diclegis which I guess is just B6 & Unisom? Anyone have any experience with this? I'm so happy and grateful to be pregnant again but eating is a real challenge this time around and it's still so early!
3. We won't be registering anywhere since this is baby 2. DD is only just 2 so we'll need to buy a new crib and furniture for this baby but we have so much from DD that we don't really need anything.
4. I usually live for all the fresh fruit and corn on the cob that come with summer but literally nothing sounds good right now!

Welcome and Congrats corgimom!

1. 35w, 2d with a baby boy!

2. I keep going back and forth between go-go-go nesting mode and being super exhausted. I can't believe that I'll have an outside baby in 3-6 weeks.

3. My big registry item that I was most excited to receive was a Graco Modes 3 Lite DLX Travel System. It's so cute.

4. My favorite summer produce are asparagus and blackberries (but really any type of berry).

Jumping in this week!

1. 19w1d, team blue this time!
2. I’m exhausted today from getting up to pee so many times last night. I’ve been good going once a night but last night it was 3 times!
3. The only big ticket items on our list this time are a new video monitor (the one we had with DD broke) and a double stroller, because my girl still loves stroller rides.
4. Not exactly a fruit/veggie but something I can only get in the summer- fresh habanero salsa from our farmers market. Yum!

None but an AW: my wife finally felt the baby kick from the outside last night! We were both so thrilled. I have an anterior placenta so we weren't sure when the kicks would be strong enough.
3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry?
Definitely the stroller. We chose the same one that madDawg228 did!
4. What is your favorite summer produce?
BERRIES. I've been super into raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries since first tri. Also big into watermelon. Fruit just tastes so damn good to me right now!

1. 31 weeks team green
2. I forget what 2 was
3. So I really want a matching pj or robe set and swaddle for baby. Problem is when you don't know gender...this almost doesn't exist. I found something I love on nordstrom, but then it wasn't available, I found it again on amazon and now it's not available there either. I guess I shouldn't have put it on my registry because noone has bought anything yet

4. I can eat my weight in watermelon

2. Questions rants raves
Ikea is driving me fucking crazy. The chair I want for the nursery is there. Went to order it- the color I want is out of stock online and in store. Okay. Gave it a few days, decided on a different color that says is in stock at my local store, go to order it for pickup- no pickup windows are available. Okaaaay. Read extensively about when the pickup windows are reset, wake up at 2am to order- a pickup window is available, hooray! Select that, try to proceed- get a message that the item I'm trying to order is not available, even though it still shows as having 3 in stock in the store. For testing purposes, I change it to a third color that says there's only 1 in stock at the store, choose a pickup window- it lets me proceed to the payment screen. Like, wtf? It makes no senseeee.

3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry?
Our stroller is the last "big ticket" registry item we haven't purchased yet- Joovy 360 Zoom jogging stroller. I really wanted the BOB, but couldn't justify it being $200 more.

4. What is your favorite summer produce?
Watermelon. I can't get enough of it. I'm eating a whole one by myself every 4/5 days.

Had an ultrasound and my placenta has moved and baby measured on track (43% est weight 3.11) Dd1 was (and is) little less than 1% for height
3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry?
I ordered a robe and swaddle set for us. I also have the pivot xplore stroller wagon on my list but that’s a big ask.
4. What is your favorite summer produce?
Tomatoes!!

2. Questions rants raves
I am so damn tired. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s a difference in pregnancies, or of it’s having a toddler at home this time. I think it’s the toddler. She just has so much energy. And when I was pregnant with her I was exercising after work, but now I am waking up at 5:00 to get it done, and there are just not enough hours in the day to do all the things, PLUS get enough sleep.

3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry?
I decided I wanted a different car seat. My mom wants to get it for us, I just have to decide what I want. The main reason for wanting one is that dd was such a soaking wet, sweaty mess in our old car seat, and with being in FL and ds being an August baby, I want one of the styles with breathable/cooling material.

4. What is your favorite summer produce?
I have been obsessed with grapes this pregnancy.

1. How far along and team - 39+4; it's a girl!
2. Questions rants raves - rant: I'm still pregnant. rave: at my appointment today, the OB thinks I'm ready to go at any time and swept my membranes. She doesn't think I'll make it to my appointment next Tuesday so fingers crossed it will be soon!
3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry? This is #2 so I didn't register. Last time around it was our stroller, a Uppababy Vista. My ILs got it for us.
4. What is your favorite summer produce? Strawberries and corn on the cob.

I'm terrified H will test positive on his COVID test and not be able to go to the hospital. I am being induced next week.

3. What is your one big wishlist item from your registry?
Biggest item was a car seat and that was purchased. The thing I wanted most was a singing toy and I bought it for him.

4. What is your favorite summer produce? I love summer veggie and fruits, but have had to wait due to a strict GD diet. I'm looking forward to watermelon!

[madDawg228]

jennysmitten, sending you all the positive vibes for a COVID-free household and negative COVID tests. I hope you are able to enjoy watermelon again as soon as possible.

First, congrats! Second - with my second DD I ended up on Diclegis until something crazy like 38 or 39 weeks. I think I only stopped then because I needed another refill and figured baby would be here any day so I didn't bother. 
I tried taking just B6 to see if it would help and it didn't, so I definitely recommend the Diclegis.

I had awful morning sickness with this pregnancy and with my DD. Diclegis didn’t help me, it just made me very very sleepy. But mine was borderline HG, so you may have better results and I hope you do!

[somersault72]

Congrats corgimom! I think our daughters are very close in age. I took Diclegis and it was a good as a "maintenence" med once I got my morning sickness under control. I was vomiting a bunch though. I took Zofran and Phenergan to keep things in check, and then Diclegis made me feel OK. I hope you feel better soon!

[corgimom]

Thanks everyone for the congrats and advice!
Unfortunately my insurance denied the prescription (surprised because my insurance is usually awesome but also not because my midwife warned me it was common because it's very $$$). My midwife told me to take 25mg b6 and 25mg of unisom which I've been doing at night and just the b6 in the morning since I can't be falling asleep at work, hah!
Its been... okay. Not as life altering as I'd hoped. I'm having more better times but am still pretty ugh in the early evening. It's hard but as long as I have something in my stomach it does help a lot. I've been also trying to get some extra rest when I can which also seems to help.
I'm 9w2d so I just keep telling myself that it's only for a few more weeks, hopefully, and for a very good cause!

Same for me. I tried it with DS3 and it made me so tired that I missed 3 days of work and still felt terrible.

Zofran was amazing for me but I understand some OB’s aren’t willing to prescribe it. I took it through 3 out of my 4 pregnancies and it really helped.

My RE wanted to prescribe Bonjesta, but I was having issues getting the script filled, so we tried Diclegis. My OB was happy to write me a script for Zofran but my insurance was awful about how much they would cover (30 pills in a 68 day period, but I was supposed to take 2-3 pills a day!).
