I had my orientation appointment today, and I am thrilled that I now have my first actual appointment scheduled for May 23. I thought I was going to have to wait a couple weeks beyond then. So that's when we'll hear the heartbeat for the first time.
I also scheduled the nuchal translucency test for June 5. I'm pretty excited to have that one so soon after the first appointment, since I'm pretty sure that once we (FX) have good results from the NT test, we will feel safe to tell our parents. That would mean we can tell them on or before Father's Day, which would be awesome.
-
Also: I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow, and I'm nervous about morning sickness starting to kick in soon. So far I've been lucky and had none whatsoever. But I feel like a lot of people have it start around the 6 week mark.
-
@littlek and @winniebee: My LO is 11 months. Unfortunately, the iPad won't help! I was thinking of breaking out the car seat carrier again and giving him a toy to play with while he's strapped in there.
-
@mrsbookworm: do you not have a neighbor or a mommy friend that can watch him? Might be easier option.
-
Wow this group is large and busy! Which is a very good thing! Had to cancel my first appointment yesterday. Not sure when it will be rescheduled for. Other than that I am having evening sickness without throwing up. It's torture. I think I would feel better if it would actually happen. Ya know?
-
@mrsbookworm: if you have to take him definitely put him in the stroller so he's contained. A toy is good. And maybe a snack cup
-
I scheduled my first appointment! For... wait for it... June 20th! You ladies and your US blob pictures and HB rates are making me so jealous.
I'm so nervous about waiting. But we don't do any genetic screening anyway? And I think I would prefer to miscarry naturally than have a D&C. But it's going to be tough, for sure. We'll see what happens. I might go in earlier. How soon can you hear a HB with the doppler?
-
@genarator: I think the only thing worse than vomiting is WANTING to vomit, but not being able to. It's the worst! My husband can make himself throw up, but me? No dice.
-
I just had my dating ultrasound today, my actual due date is November 27, I am 9 weeks today! My ERC will likely be scheduled for mid November, so I might pop over to the November boards!
-
It looks like I am no longer pregnant. No bleeding yet but after my really light hpt a couple days ago (I am now 16dpo and first bfp was 10dpo) and the fact that AF was due yesterday, I took a digi just now (after a 3-4 hold) and got a negative. First cycle trying so I don't know what to expect next. I just feel empty and confused.
-
@simplyfelicity: praying for you!
-
@MsMini: wow, that's awesome!
@simplyfelicity: I'm sorry
-
@ctegge0416: thinking of you.
@simplyfelicity:
I'm sorry
-
@simplyfelicity:
I'm so sorry.
-
@PawPrints: Glad orientation went well, and that you have some upcoming appts scheduled! That's great to hear. My m/s kicked in at just after 6 weeks. Hopefully it's not too bad for you!
@genarator: Ugh, that's so bad
I hate that feeling. I hope it gets better soon!@allison: Sorry it's so late, but there are definitely pros to that, like by then it will look more like a little babe and less like a blob
@MsMini: That's great! Must be nice to be a bit further along than you thought
Do you want me to keep you on our December list also, or remove you? I'm happy to do whichever you prefer 
@simplyfelicity: I'm sorry, lady
I'm keeping my fingers crossed 
-
@simplyfelicity: Big hugs. I know you'll be back on your feet in no time to try again.
-
Also. You guys. I had to tell you because it's so embarrassing and horrible
I threw up at my metro stop.
So, so awful. It was seriously one of the worst experiences of my life - I had thought I was keeping a little garbage bag in my purse for this very reason, but I must have taken it out at some point. Stupid. I'll spare you the gory details, but I'll just tell you that some lady was giving me horrified looks.
So, happy Friday!
-
@simplyfelicity: Sorry
-
@MsMini: awesome! I want to magically skip a few weeks
-
@theotherstark: Awww I'm so sorry! Must have been so awful to deal with
-
@snowjewelz: Haha. It was terrible. Urgh.
-
@theotherstark: hey it's Friday I bet ppl thought you had too much fun at happy hour last night!
-
@winniebee: Ha, I'm sure that is exactly what they thought!!
-
@theotherstark: @winniebee: LOL! Pregnant women in the 1st trimester might just be the most misunderstood! No one knows why we're fat, throwing up, tired, eating too much...!
-
@theotherstark: I've gotten sick on metros everywhere.. the metro in DC, the metro in NYC, the metro in Germany... welcome to the club.
-
@simplyfelicity: I'm sorry
Also keeping my fingers crossed for you!@theotherstark: Ahh, I'm sorry! That sounds awful!
-
@snowjewelz: Ha, so true!
@littlek: Glad I'm not the only one! I didn't know what to do. Ugh, so horrible.
@whenoceansrise: It was pretty bad. Haha. Ahh, oh well.
-
What are y'all snacking on throughout the day? I'm not a big snacker so I need some ideas! I'm getting tired of my carrots.
-
@whenoceansrise: Nuts, cheese, trail mix, all kinds of crackers...
-
@PawPrints: Congrats on a good appointment! I'm a little bit behind you (I will be 6 weeks on Tuesday) so I'm curious to see when your MS kicks in. (If it does)
@simplyfelicity: Is it possible it was just not a long enough hold?
@theotherstark: Oh you poor lady!!! I'm so sorry!!!
@whenoceansrise: From Target, I love the Archer Farms trail mixes. (also, if you use the cartwheel app, they are on sale right now) I also love (from Target) the simply basic fruit strips.
-
@snowjewelz: @MRSJX3: Thanks ladies. Going grocery shopping this weekend so I'll be sure to pick up some trail mix!
-
@theotherstark: It is awful. But you are definitely not the only one. I hated riding the metro pregnant, it gets hot and people don't let you sit. I get motion sickness if I get to hot.
-
@whenoceansrise: Just let your cravings dictate... Hehe
For some reason I really haven't been feeling any of the snacks I have. And I crave like 5 different things daily!
-
@snowjewelz: I haven't started having any cravings yet! I'm trying to stick healthy, but that may not happen once the cravings start!
-
@whenoceansrise: Yeah... I crave a lot of carbs
I'm hoping the cravings will subside by 2nd trimester! Buuuut, I'm also in a new phase where I feel super full after eating just a little bit, so at least I can't scarf down things even if I wanted to!
-
@snowjewelz: I still don't think it's actually sunk in that I'm pregnant. I feel pretty normal so I'll be excited when those symptoms start coming. Even if it's total unhealthy cravings!
-
Welp...I am spotting now and haven't at all since my bfp. I need to take a break from all this. Thanks for kind words and putting up with my neuroses...I think I just knew something was wrong. Best wishes.
@theotherstark: please take me off the list. Thank you. -
@whenoceansrise: I def didn't feel pregnant for a while! My bloating & cramps went away, and it was before the fatique & nausea started. And that was the time when there was nothing showing on the u/s too and I was nervous!
@simplyfelicity: We
you and will keep you in our thoughts ((hug))
-
@whenoceansrise: I kept a food journal my first pregnancy (crazy MW diet), so I can tell you exactly what I snacked on. :o)
small cans of V8 (the low sodium kind)
string cheese
almonds
trail mix
carrots or celery with peanut butter
rice cakes with peanut butter
all types of vegetables with hummus
raisins (good for the iron)
Greek yogurt with berries
apples, bananas, tangerines
hard-boiled eggs (if I was feeling really fancy, I would make deviled eggs)
Fudgicles
chocolate milk
Luna bars
cottage cheese with fruit
avocado on toast -
@snowjewelz: Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
