NQB - I love the new thread!!
1. Estimated 5 weeks 5 days. 2. Going on vacation a week from now! Still no m/s so I hope it stays that way, even though at the beginning it was freaking me out since I had such bad m/s with DS really early on. I'm still trying to really wrap my head around being pregnant again! 3. I got off on the wrong floor at work and didn't realize it until I was practically in where my office would have been if I was on the right floor. At least I didn't go in and make myself at home!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 4 weeks, 4 days. Getting the positive blood tests.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I'm down 6 pounds. This better keep happening.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. Yesterday I needed a calculator to subtract 3 from 42. I kept on saying "42, 41, 40" and thinking the answer must be 40 and couldn't really understand why it wasn't. I feel really dumb all of a sudden.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 31 weeks tomorrow, i the single digit weeks now!
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Had a growth ultrasound on Tuesday, the tech sucked and pressed very hard, bruising me and she didn't get one good picture of baby girl. But baby girl is measuring very tall already and 3.7lbs! I'm up 37 pounds :-(
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Oh it's very real, at least for me! I became a complete idiot around the 20 week mark. I had a few weeks of feeling better and still being smart and then I just became an idiot. Can't remember anything, dropping everything, can't finish a sentence sometimes because I forgot what I wanted to say.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?
25 Weeks. Just lots of kicking/movement. My shower invites went out!
2. News/AWs/vents to share?
Someone told me I was "all belly and nothing else' yesterday. During my first opregnancy, I gained EVERYWHERE. So that was good to hear. I am keeping the weight gain down this time- thank God, cause I was still carrying weight from my first.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine.
Uh, yes. During first trimester I needed to drop off DS early at daycare. So I called and asked if I could bring him in, not realizing that I called his old daycare, the one I pulled him out of and reported for multiple issues. When I realized what I did, I just hung up. So. Embarrassing. My brain just does not function sometimes.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 11 weeks. Might start telling people this week. Haven't told anyone except GBCN and one friend halfway across the counrty that won't say a word!
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I hate morning sickness. So sick of being sick. And I'm afraid that this PG will be like last PG where I vomited every single day until the day I delivered. So far, we're tracking that way. :-(
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. Not sure. It hasn't really kicked in yet this time. Last time I don't remember any specific examples of PG brain.
Unless anyone can think of a better title, here is the check in you asked for. Everyone who is pregnant come here and chat!
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 13 weeks. heard the HB!
2. News/AWs/vents to share?had the MaterniT21 test this week. Anxious for results.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. i have misinterpreted 5 emails my boss sent me this week. Even she called it pregnancy brain.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 12 weeks & a bit. Almost out of first tri!! Still puking randomly.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I took out my maternity clothes from DS to wash. Some of it I don't remember and some I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Horribly ugly shirts!
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. - Not yet. Fingers crossed. Liam keeps me on my toes!
1. 31w1d per the midwife. Milestones...I don't think so. 2. I know it is early, but I am done being pregnant...9 months is too long. 3. Oh it is real, I don't remember when actually started maybe mid first trimester and still going.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 12 weeks, 1 day
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I had an OB appointment yesterday, and we heard the heartbeat on the doppler. And our genetic testing all came back fine.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? I don't feel like this is a big issue for me, but maybe I am just kidding myself. I definitely felt like my brain function was compromised when I was first back at work with an infant who was still up all night, though.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?
35 weeks...only 4 more weeks until the c-section (still hoping to VBAC if I go into labor on my own). Lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions. I go in for BPPs and NSTs twice a week and the baby looks perfect and passes with flying colors, so that is a huge relief.
2. News/AWs/vents to share?
Been feeling a bit better this week which is nice. DS is at grandma's house for a few days and it is amazing to have some time to myself, but I miss him like crazy!
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start?
I'm pretty sure pregnancy brain never went away for me. I struggle to come up with the right words and my husband just shakes his head at me. I sound dumb most of the time and then get embarrassed because I swear I am an intelligent person. Also, I leave my keys in the door a lot which never happens when I'm not pregnant.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? nearing 17 weeks, had a good cardiology appointment yesterday
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I'm feeling a ton of movement. Those who told me I was crazy at 12 weeks were wrong! lol 3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. No stories to share here.

FWIW, I am 12 weeks, and I am certain that I feel the baby.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 23 weeks, 3 days
2. News/AWs/vents to share? I've been feeling & seeing kicks for a while, but it's finally gotten easier for my husband to feel them.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Please share your embarrassing stories here so I feel better about mine. Yes, and then it turns into Mommy Brain.

FWIW, I am 12 weeks, and I am certain that I feel the baby. [/quote] I'm honestly shocked that many people say they don't feel movement for the first until until 16 weeks or later.
At 11-12 weeks it felt like a fish/flutters. At 13-14 weeks it felt like tapping. From 14 onward, I could feel rolling.
Now at 16+ weeks some of the movement is uncomfortable. Lots of rolling, tapping, small kicks, and balling themselves up into my left or right side. I can actually push on my stomach and get them to scoot back to the center.
My OB said I'm normal, so I don't get why people on here and TB always say 12 weeks is too early.

1. I am 12w3d
2. today is my nt scan. I have had 3 losses and never made it this far so I'm incredibly nervous. If all goes well we will go to the in laws tonight to share our news and tell my family this weekend!
3. I have had many forgetful moments and I'm sure it will only get worse from here.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 27 weeks. I think the baby learned to tap dance this week, because that's sure what it felt like she was doing when I woke up at 3 AM the other day.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Nothing too exciting. My MIL and SIL offered to throw me a second shower locally, which was very nice of them, since most of my friends here in VA probably wouldn't be able to make it to my family's shower in DE.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? Yes. Not sure when it started, but I completely blank on random words all of the time lately.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 11 weeks, 6 days
2. News/AWs/vents to share? STILL have issues scheduling the NT scan and it's now been a week since my appt was last Friday. The lady at the doctor's office is supposed to be calling herself and then calling me with the appointment. This is not giving a lot of confidence in my doctor's office or hospital at this point.
3. QOTW - Pregnancy brain - is it real? When did it start? I find I am more forgetful, but DH says that could just be my old age, lol!

1. 26 weeks, third trimester!
2. My parents and brother have now all felt the baby. It doesn't move much, but you can certainly feel it pressed up against my stomach.
3. I figured it was bullshit, but man, the day I stood in Sephora trying to come up with a product name by saying "The stuff that smells good," I realized I'd gotten dumber.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? I started feeling like complete and utter crap! I was texting Little Spitfire about my fear that my nipples were going to fall off from the pain last night.
2. News/AWs/vents to share? First ultrasound next Tuesday. I'm stoked!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week?
36 weeks 5 days (omfg already!?)
2. News/AWs/vents to share?
I am so paranoid about leaving the office one afternoon and not coming back the next day because I've gone into labor. PARANOID. I had all these grand plans to have my office and projects a neat and tidy and handed off, but it doesn't seem like that will be possible due to people on the other end dropping the ball. I actually woke up in a sweat about it the other night!

I haven't experienced it yet. Perhaps I'm just usually a little forgetful? Instead, I seem to have a hyper focus on the things I think are important, primarily daycare- which H is handling- and life insurance policies- which I've almost gotten totally wrapped up.
1. 14.5wks 2. DH & DD3 heard heartbeat yesterday. I think I've felt some real movement but it's always in bed half asleep so I am never sure. 3. I have pregnancy brain bad & mommy brain even worse. I think it's all related to sleep deprivation. I was starting to get better since I was STTN most nights...but not anymore.
1. How far along are you? Any milestones this week? 19 weeks 6 days
2. News/AWs/vents to share? Had an ultrasound Monday. They couldn't tell the sex of the baby due to the cord being between his/her legs. They did see a few heart decels into the 50s during the ultrasound so will probably have a repeat ultrasound in a few weeks. They think it was just baby laying on the cord but I have never paid so much attention to baby's movement.
