How's everyone feeling? I'm pretty tired, and if I go to long without eating I feel nauseas and lightheaded- like I'm way more impacted by low blood sugar. It's required a lot of planning on my part because I have celiac disease and there isn't always something I can eat! Yesterday I had to make an emergency exit from a 3 year olds birthday party to drive to the health food store for a gluten free grilled cheese. I then ate it in like two minutes flat.
-
@silva I have celiac too and have the same issues plus extreme nausea.
Lately I don't leave the house without at least a gf snack bar and some nuts in my purse. If I can keep a steady stream of food then it seems to help my nausea, but it's so hard to find gfree food sometimes. How is everyone else feeling? We had a bleeding scare and ended up at the ER, but it looks like things are ok for now. Fingers crossed!
-
@Silva: I'm having a ton of exhaustion and morning sickness. I didn't have morning sickness with LO1 except for about a day, so this is bizarre. You should carry some little boxes of raisins with you. They'll help to quickly raise your blood sugar and be nutritions, and no gluten.
-
Just got my third HCG level and levels are rising appropriately, so cautiously joining in now!
Location: San Francisco, CA
EDD: August 14 (based on LMP) or August 19 (based on day I actually ovulated) - will see what doctor decides to use at my first prenatal appointment and update.
How far along: 4 w 3 d (according to ovulation date)
First child? 2nd (DD is 16 months)
First doctor appointment: January 8
Any symptoms so far? Mild so far - a bit of faint nausea that comes and goes; fatigue.
Who have you told? DH and my best friend - that's it until our first ultrasound.
I had HG with my first pregnancy, though the true misery didn't kick in until 6 weeks, almost to the day. I am hoping so hard that I get to avoid HG this time, though just in case I am eating as much different healthy food now before it kicks in as last time there were weeks when all I could keep down were clementines and spaghetti-O's on toast. Not exactly the building blocks of champions.
-
@Silva: I have celiac too. Food is such a challenge.
I saw my doctor today because I am considered high risk because of heart issues and previous preterm babies. We also got a due date of August 12! I am almost 100% sure we won't make it to August but I hope we do. My ultrasound went well but it was too soon to see the heartbeat.
-
@Silva: I have nausea that comes and goes, especially when I haven't eaten. I'm hypothyroid though so I have to take my pill and wait 45 minutes to eat so it's causing some issues when I wake up
I'm 6w1d so I'm still waiting to see if MS kicks in at full force. Other than that just tired and I get super bloated at the end of the day before bed.
-
@silva, @mrsrcar: crazy all three of us have Celiac. It is becoming more and more common. It is nice to know you ladies understand the food challenges!
@stratosphere: I had HG with my first (girl), but not my second (boy). This one seems to be a repeat of my first, and I have been vomiting around the clock. Fingers crossed that it skips you this round!
We had our first ultrasound last week and saw a heartbeat. Baby is measuring right on track! Yay!
-
A bit nervous but cautiously joining in here. I just got my BFP today but I'm pretty sure I'm already about six weeks!
Location: Texas
EDD: August 9 (one week after my bday!)
How far along: about six weeks
First child? Yes!
First doctor appointment: Thursday
Any symptoms so far? Not too much -- most unusual is horrible skin. I rarely break out normally! And insomnia, but I get that generally sometimes. No MS (knock on wood) but I think my appetite is actually smaller...
Who have you told? DH
Hi everyone!
-
@MrsSCB: Holy cow I just saw you comment on the other thread and my jaw dropped! HUGE congrats to you! I am sooooo excited for you!
-
@travellingbee: Thank you, I really appreciate it!! I think it's still sinking in, but I'm pretty excited
-
Also cautiously joining!! Was such a bummer having to remove myself from the March 2016 moms thread
Location: Boston area
EDD: 8/18
How far along: 4w6d!
First child? Nope - DD turns 3 in May.
First doctor appointment: I'm not bothering to have hcg done this time.. I did last time and everything looked great until the first u/s.
Sooo first appointment is my viability ultrasound on 12/31 - I'll be 7w.Any symptoms so far? Extreme fatigue but I don't know if that's related to pregnancy or not
Who have you told? Too many people, even after swearing I would tell nobody after my loss! DH, my parents (not his), and 2 friends.

My husband is home on vacation this week (he's in residency so he just gets assigned vacation time). I'm going to be struggling when he's back at work and I'm home with our daughter again. I slept from 9:30-8:30 last night, and then took a nap from 11-noon. Seriously. How is it even possible for a person to sleep that much.
I'd forgotten how brutal the fatigue can be. Even after all that sleep my body just feels exhausted.Walks and fresh air help if I can motivate, so hopefully I will get one in this afternoon.
-
@JoJoGirl: @MrsSCB: welcome! Congratulations!
-
@Silva: Thank you!! That's really nice your H can be home for at least a little bit -- I know a resident's schedule can be crazy. I hear you on the exhaustion -- sometimes it feels like I got hit by a bus, and yet I'm still having trouble sleeping somehow. I can't imagine looking after another LO at the same time!
-
@dcw6411: @MrsRcCar: I was just diagnosed a year ago. I ate soooo many bagels my first pregnancy. Luckily I spent the summer learning how to grow a GF sourdough starter and now can make decent bagels (they are chewy!). Takes some effort, but worth it,
@MrsSCB: luckily he will be done in June and starts his " real" job in July. We waited a while to TTC again because I was like "no more babies in residency!"
-
@Silva: can you wall me your recipe? I love bagels but I haven't found a good gf one yet.
I go to meet the doctor who will be following my case on Friday. Hoping to get another ultrasound Friday or early next week. I had one Wednesday but it was a bit early to see the heartbeat.
-
I have my first appointment today and I'm a bit nervous... Partly because I don't feel all that different (other than fatigue and my lovely "glow" aka terribly oily skin/acne lol). Also, I know it wouldn't be unusual to not find a heartbeat this early but I still think it would make me anxious...FTM jitters I guess!
@MrsRcCar: will that be a separate doctor in addition to your OB?
-
@MrsSCB: ooh you're getting an ultrasound today? What time! Good luck! My first one is 2 weeks from today, feels like an eternity
-
@JoJoGirl: 11:30 (central time). When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist said, "we have Dec. 17 at 11:30, or sometime after Jan. 11." So I grabbed the first one, haha. Now I'm wondering if it's too early, though? Guess I'll find out soon enough!
-
@MrsSCB: You're 6w?
-
@JoJoGirl: I think about 6w2d. They said they like to do the first appointment between six and eight so I'm just squeaking in there!
-
@MrsSCB: Yeah! I think if your dates are accurate you should be able to see something. I just asked this question a couple of days ago
-
@JoJoGirl: Thanks, I will cross my fingers then! I know the exact date my last AF started, but I've been having really wonky cycles and have no idea when I ovulated...so I'm interested in whatever details they can tell me, haha.
) heartburn, and dry mouth.
Had to really up my dose! I'm 4w1d today! 
today, so I'm going to cautiously join in here.
Lately I don't leave the house without at least a gf snack bar and some nuts in my purse. If I can keep a steady stream of food then it seems to help my nausea, but it's so hard to find gfree food sometimes. How is everyone else feeling?
