Ugh. I totally just don't feel pregnant. It makes me so nervous. My nausea and food aversions were even gone today. Not tired. Not puking. My super smell is the only thing hanging on. I felt like I had every symptom with my first. I hope it's just not being able to focus much on the pregnancy like last time so the symptoms just aren't as obvious.

US in just 2 weeks. So nervous. I'm counting on this baby already and I hope it's growing well.

@artsyfartsy: Hang in there! It's so hard waiting in the unknown. Hoping all the best for you and your bean.

@waiting4you: I had migraines pre-pregnancy so, short of 800 mg of ibuprofen (which is, of course, not an option!), my suggestion is a hot water bottle on your neck and/or any part of your head that feels good. If you are having a tension headache, it might help to put it on your neck. If you having more of a ocular / sinus headache, heat on the forehead or the cheeks might feel good. Basically, just gets the blood moving! I have been getting headaches here and there these last few nights and this is what I have been doing. The OB would probably say Tylenol, but it has never done anything for me for headache. Hope some heat helps give you some relief.

@KrzyRiver: Great question about resources for researching products! I am also without close girlfriends around me who have been recently preggo.

@winniebee: @shantuck; @bunbun: Thanks for sharing these links, tips, etc.!

@jaguar: Ouch, sciatica! I had one episode of shooting pain earlier this week ... haven't felt that in so long. Hope you feeling okay! Thinking of you.

AFM, 10w today! We had the first OB appt yesterday. All is well and the u/s image was a better screen that at the RE so I felt like we could see SO much more. I saw the hb from across the room. Everything is "perfect" at the moment and right on track. Holy moly. Now no more scans until 20 weeks! That is going to feel like an eternity after bimonthly scans the last month.

Also I learned that the hospital I would want to deliver at (if I chose that route) is very mamma friendly and not rigid in their policies. I am feeling better that I could have a natural birth in that setting and have the great OB care leading up to it. I will tour the midwife center tomorrow and meet with the CNM (home birth option) later in the week just to cover the bases. I need to get on finding a doula! Apparently 10 weeks is not too early to do this and many doulas are filling up for October! Crazy.

I guess my next step is Materniti21 testing. Anyone else out there getting that or another NIPT? @winniebee: I think you mentioned it. Have you or anyone else done it with prior pregnancies? How long until results are in?

@waiting4you: it sounds hokey but I've had luck with acupuncture helping with headaches. Maybe that's a last resort idea if it hangs around awhile.

Ohhhh my rest rest, I am so sorry!
Prayers all is and will be OK!!!!

Finally checking back in!
How far along: 9 weeks 1 days
Have you had an US: not yet
Next US: Thursday
Current symptoms: gagging when brushing teeth, so hungry then I eat two bites and I'm full, so tired.
Current mood: pretty good, although a bit in disbelief I'll have 2 babies by the end of the year.

Do you plan to announce? When? Well we've already told family, close friends, work... So we basically have. I'm not really one for a big social media announcement.
Guess on the sex: boy, mainly because we already have a girl.

@jaguar: How scary. Hope you're able to rest lots today.

@Amorini: Yay, glad to hear you had a great first appointment and everything is looking good!

@jaguar: Praying for you. I know how stressful this all is and I hope you're able to rest and get some answers soon. Don't forget to follow up with your doctor in a couple days. *Hugs*

@KrzyRiver: last time is switched to toms of Maine mango flavored toothpaste but haven't needed to yet this time. Supposedly my mom had issues brushing her teeth while pregnant. It also one of the reason I suspected I was pregnant both times.

So scared. I hope this baby is a fighter.

We are scheduled to see OB for a scan on Wednesday. I'll ring first thing Monday to see if he can get me in any earlier. The hospital recommended follow up 48 hours from bleed.

@jaguar: oh sh*t. I'm so sorry for this scare. Glad to hear Olaf is still there and there is a hb, but I'm just so sorry you are going through this and have to wait until Monday for more info. Would it help to put yourself on bed rest until then or would that just make you crazier? Sending hugs and tons of stickiness.

@jaguar: Praying for you. Hope the rest helps calm things down.

I spent the evening at urgent care with my 3 year old. He had a fever of 104 and tested positive for influenza A plus an ear infection (despite getting the flu mist). The doc recommended my husband and i also get tamiflu prescriptions as a preventative measure until I mentioned I was pregnant. I called my doc and she said it was my choice. I think I'm just going to ride it out and call if it looks like I'm coming down with it too. I have Tylenol on hand and have taken my temp a dozen times already.

@Shantuck: Wow, what a mess! I hope that your son starts to feel better quickly and that you guys don't get it too! I had the flu in 2010 and I remember how awful it is.

@jaguar: I'm praying so hard for you and Olaf, Jag.

@jaguar: I'm sorry :(. How bad is it?

@jaguar: I'm sorry for all you are going through. I really hope it is nothing more than a scare.

@FaithFertility: @mfa_lady: lurker over here...DID I KNOW THIS?????? Hooray and congratulations to you both!!

@jaguar: oh Jag, honey. I hope you're getting into the clinic today/Monday. Stick tight, Olaf. Stop scaring Mama and Daddy!

@jaguar: update? I'm so sorry you're going through this.

How's everyone else feeling today??

My MS is at its worst today. No throwing up, just constant nausea. I was up until 5am with it. Woke up around noon and could barely move without stirring it up again. So hubby made me a PB&J and I ate it in bed before passing back out until 3pm. Now I'm on the couch sucking on preggie pops and saltines and trying not to move. I hate myself for wishing for more symptoms. Lol

@KrzyRiver: I just had my first pregnancy puke. Yuck
Overall I feel like my body is breaking down from the inside out. Sick toddler and no sleep lately have made it worse. Ugh

You should be careful what you wish for when you ask for pregnancy symptoms!
