@MamaCate: I'm doing the NIPT test. It isn't offered here except if you do it privately ($795!) but I signed up to be part of a study so it's covered

Hi Everyone,
I'm joining in!
Location: Southern California
EDD: 7/31/15
How far along: 8 weeks today!
First child? No, I have an almost 22 month daughter
First doctor appointment: I just went yesterday! I was super nervous because I just went through an early m/c at about 8/9 wks back in September. This appointment went great though, the OB found the bean right away, we saw AND heard the heartbeat.....very reassuring! The OB couldn't get a perfect measurement, the bean was wiggly and there was a shadow that kept moving over it so he actually thinks I might even be a little bit further along. I go back in 2.5 weeks for another ultrasound.
Any symptoms so far? Fatigue and nausea. I haven't actually vomited yet, but I feel like I'm going too and strangely the late afternoon/night time is worse for me vs. the morning. And I feel like I have hypersensitive smell. Yuck.
Who have you told? DH, LO, and one of my best friends (who is also currently pregnant!) We hope to tell our combined families next week on Christmas Eve! It's still early but being able to tell both of our families in person is good too to resist. We won't tell anyone else until 12 weeks.
Overall I'm super excited/anxious. LO #1 came unexpectedly at 30w5d so I'm really hoping #2 will go longer than that. (I am seeing a high risk doctor this time around).
So happy to join the rest of you July ladies!
Best of
to everyone for a healthy pregnancy!

@Ginabean3: yay congrats !! We are due the se day, and I also have a 22 month old (son though)!!! I also had a loss recently, so we are in this together. Congrats again!!
-
@Ginabean3: forgot to mention - my major nausea starts at 4pm every day!!! It's AWFUL!! With my son it was just morning nausea then went away. This is off and on a little bit all day, then full on awfulness at 4. I threw up for the first time yesterday
-
@ValentineMommy: oh my goodness!
hang in there, hopefully it will pass soon! Are you taking any medication for it?The worst part about having nausea late in the day like that is I can barely cook dinner for DH and LO and I definitely don't feel like eating dinner at all!
Big congrats to you too! Do you think that since your nausea is different from last time you might be having a girl?
-

@Colekbl: Welcome! Happy to have a fellow team greener!
-
@Ginabean3: Welcome and congrats! Happy to have you here.
-
Anyone finding out the gender soon - ish? I know there are all those tests that can tell you really early.
-
@Tidybee: thank you!

@Colekbl: @Ginabean3: @Lala: Welcome!
How is everyone doing with nausea?
I'm 11 weeks now and the intensity is easing off but my goodness I still feel dreadful. Heartburn has crept into the mix too. Today I went shopping with DH and LO and suddenly needed to gag in the street for ten minutes, ew. I seriously don't know if I could cope with another pregnancy after this one, and I always wanted three kids. -
@travelgirl1: I will be 13 weeks on Wednesday and still get nauseated in the evenings (like now.) I was miserable for a few weeks, so I will take this! Sorry you aren't feeling well.
-
@Colekbl: hooooray!!! Welcome friend!
@travelgirl1: I'm so sorry you're still feeling sick!! I am 8.5 weeks and still mildly naseous but the yakking has passed (except for dinner today) for the most part and I feel okay eating. I still have strong food aversions, heartburn has started already, and I have afternoon/nighttime/motn/early morning nausea/something in my throat feeling, but I'm okay for the most part. Today was my first day without a nap! I actually finished Christmas shopping!
Trying not to worry about the lack of nausea and counting my blessings.
-
@travelgirl1: nausea for me comes and goes....but mostly what bothers me more is the fatigue. I'm tired all the time. I feel like such a dud and I feel badly for LO because in the afternoons all I want to do is lay down on the couch and watch Ellen.
-
@travelgirl1: I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and my nausea is much better. I've stopped the diclectin cold turkey and that seems OK. I just have to make sure to eat regularly.
I'm still exhausted though. I nap with DS every day that I'm home!! Can't wait to feel more like myself.
-
@simplyfelicity: my blood test is Friday and it sounds like the results should be back in the next two weeks or so after that. It is crazy to think about knowing so early, but kind of exciting to announce after that and be able to announce the sex too!
-
@travelgirl1: I am so sorry you are still feeling so bad. I have heard that every pregnancy is different but so far mine have been very similar with mild symptoms. I still snack more and maybe am more sensitive to smells but I am feeling pretty good at 10 1/2 weeks--knock on wood!
-
Alright, I'm about to get ready for my first appointment! I'm so, so nervous. It's funny, my LO wasn't planned and I was so wrapped up in the surprise that I wasn't half as anxious about this stuff, but this time around I'm going nuts. Wish me luck!
-
@Ginabean3: I haven't been taking anything, but I've considered it. I feel like poo! Several people have mentioned the symptoms/gender question, but I don't know! I don't have any intuition about it (didn't with ds either), but I would be THRILLED with a little girl. Thrilled.
@Colekbl: congrats and welcome dd twin!
@simplyfelicity: my blood test is the 30th of dec. I think the doc said the results can take two weeks though!
@travelgirl1: I'm only 8 weeks and still in the thick of nausea. I'm SUPER lucky that I also get diarrhea with my m/s. Ugh. It's the worst. Heartburn has started as well. So sorry you're not feeling well either!
-
@cait: good luck! Sending good wishes your way! I was a bundle of nerves when I went and probably will be the next few times too. Let us know how it goes!
-
@cait: good luck with your first appt!
-
@cait: good luck to you!
-
@cait: good luck! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
So, mamas pregnant with #2 - have you started thinking of gear yet! DS will be 2 years 4 months when #2 is born and I'm obsessing over double strollers. I love the City Select bc the two seats aren't on top of eachother. But I wonder if it's worth spending all that money since it's not like DS will need the stroller much longer. Thoughts?
-
@Candy_nee: going to wait on the double stroller and see how DS does....he's already started not liking the umbrella stroller, so I have a feeling we'll be doing the umbrella stroller + baby wearing, then DS walking + baby in us come july. DS will be 2 years 8 months.
@cait: good luck today!
-
@cait: I was so nervous too! Here's to having a great appointment.
@Candy_nee: I'm thinking about gear too, we just need to make sure our carseats aren't out since my DS will be 3 years 10 mo when LO comes
-
@cait: Wishing you a great appointment!
-
@cait: good luck!!
@Candy_nee: I am super into gear lol We are thinking about the Joovy Ultralight Too. We have an UBV now that I love, but ds will be too big for the little jump seat, so we would have to wait until lo2 is around 6 months so he/she could fit in the little seat and ds would be in the main seat, if that makes sense. At any rate, ds is starting to hate being in the stroller as it is. So much to think about. That being said, I really love the mountain buggy one, but can't justify another expensive stroller!
-
@mrsjyw: my son already hates his stroller as well, so wearing and using the umbrella stroller is a great idea.@Mrs. Pickles: oh gosh! I didn't even think about car seats. We should be ok for the infant seat, and hopefully the bigger one as #2 needs it... @ValentineMommy: yeah, we already have the Britax B-Agile and I love it and we have a Chicco umbrella stroller as well (that we got on major discount at Target) and its hard for me to justify another expensive stroller when DS hates to be in it as it is...
I'm now considering getting an Ergo and skipping the double stroller altogether... Decisions decisions!! -
I have put it off forever and am finally getting my pregnancy blood panel done. Hate this part.
-
@simplyfelicity: Good luck! I hate that part too.
My appointment went well! They didn't try to find a heartbeat which was a little disappointing, but they want to do the dating ultrasound first so mamas don't get scared if they can't find the heartbeat because it's too early. She said everything looks great though and my ultrasound is scheduled for early January!
to everyone for a healthy pregnancy!
