@Mrs.ThinMint: Hi friend! Obviously a lot has happened since we last had coffee -- do they have you on baby asprin for the pre-e?

@AZJAX: You didn't ask me, but I've been using the homemade version of diclegis without the unisom (B6 3x a day) - no unisom because I already go to sleep at 7:45 when my son does. It takes the edge off, but I still vomit on it so I wouldn't exactly give it a glowing recommendation. I took Zofran with my son's pregnancy, but they say it isn't the first line of defense anymore.

@LBee: hi!! Yes, I'm taking aspirin!

@Mrs.ThinMint: I hope it's your silver bullet! Not sure if you remember, but my sister had her son at 32 weeks (started hospital stints at 24 weeks) and made it to 38 weeks with her next! They took him at 38 weeks because she was going crazy and having major white coat syndrome - her blood pressure was actually fine and no signs of pre-e!

@Mrs.ThinMint: wow, so many! I hope they are helping

@LBee: my OB tried to call in a Diclegis Rx for me but my insurance is requiring pre-authorization. I freaking hate our insurance, ugh. I picked up some B6 and Unisom and I guess we'll see how it goes.

I took a leap of faith and ordered a big brother shirt for my would-be middle (I am hiding the whole thing from big sister at least until past NIPT because she's old enough to tell people!). I don't like doing so having not seen a heartbeat yet . . . but I wanted to be able to tell family in a cute way if it goes well, and I'd need to do it right away because I'm flying to my mom's with the kids for spring break two days later. I tell myself worst case I can save it . . . I did that when trying for #2 and she had almost outgrown it by the time we got a sticky baby!

Anyone else planning any reveals, even just to family?

Update: had my first appt yesterday (2/28) and saw baby's heartbeat. I have an updated EDD of 10/23. Doctor mentioned that baby was low in uterus and asked me if I'd had any bleeding (no). She wants me to come back in three weeks for another ultrasound to get an update and to take it easy on my workouts in the meantime. A little nervous but taking it easy to give Peapod time to develop. Hope everyone else is well!

@azjax: @christi70: yay for good ultrasounds!!

I am constantly swinging between feeling nervous if I'm not sick enough and being annoyed at feeling super sick. I know it's all normal I just want to see that HB next week! I signed up my oldest for kinder today and it would be really fun to have a new little one around the time she starts

@bhbee: Same. I actually am feeling a little better today and it has me worried that something is wrong.

Just had my ultrasound today to confirm my date and I'm right where I thought I was based on ovulation -7w6d. My updated EDD is October 12th. The heartbeat was 168bpm! My husband got emotional My next appt is on march 15th for my first full prenatal appt...unfortunately with just the assistant because my doctor was booked. Here's a cute pic of our gummy bear:

Hi Ladies! I hope it's ok that I join this party a little late.

Location: Korea (husband is military) but moving back stateside this summer! (not sure where)

EDD: 10.10.17

First child-No, currently have a 2yo

Any symptoms? Super nauseous, tired, headaches, achy tummy. I seem to feel the stretching more this time. I felt it a lot with my first but not until later in my first trimester. I've felt it literally since the day I found out I was pregnant.

Who have you told? We told most of our family.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? It's been an emotional rollercoaster already with some wonky tests in the beginning and just a slower start than with my daughter. We saw my 2yo's heartbeat at 6w4d but didn't see anything but a yolk sack and gestational sack at 6w5d with this one. Just went back Friday and baby had blossomed measuring 8w4d with a heart rate of 189! We had a very early miscarriage in November so I'm just a ball of nerves.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

We have our NT scan scheduled for March 27th (1 day before 12 weeks). I thought it was supposed to be closer to 13 weeks but dr didn't seem concerned when we scheduled it for that date. Anyone have an earlier NT?

@MrsDecember: welcome! I had my NT scan around 12w last time, but my MFM specialist does them from 11-13w. He was also able to correctly tell the gender at that time (from the scan, no blood test)!

@azjax: that's awesome on the coupon! I've started checking any brand name drug and otc stuff too, I didn't realize how many coupons were out there for drugs.

@bhbee: FX for a happy little bean!

@MrsDecember: Welcome! I've been feeling a lot of stretching too (some of it actually painful). I asked my OB and she claims it's normal. It had me pretty freaked out thought.

Sorry you ladies are feeling so sick. I really haven't been feeling sick at all. Week 8 and 9 I had ridiculous pelvic pain. It hurt to sit and lie certain ways and would give out on me while walking sometimes. I was literally limping. Somehow that has magically stopped and I thank God for it. Now I'm just tired all the time. I legit slept my entire weekend away. I felt bad for being to tired to really play with my son. Luckily I stay at home with him. I dozed off on him 3 times today, thank God it was only for a minute each time. I definitely took a nap with when he did today for like almost 3 hours smh. I don't know where this fatigue came from all of a sudden. But I hate it. I feel like a zombie. I was never like this during my first pregnancy

All - Had my US today. Baby measuring at 8wk1d and by my count I'm 7wk6d so they kept my DD the same: Oct 18. Heartbeat 173.

Also, I have been feeling terrible for a couple of weeks now and was given a prescription for diclegis. Taking it tonight and hoping it'll help me as I haven't been able to properly do any work for days now.

Going back on April 30th for a follow up and doing the blood test to check for downsyndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. Am told it also identifies x and y chromosomes so I think I'll go ahead and find out the sex too! Wee!

How is everyone else doing?

@BarreMommy: great news on the ultrasound! I've been taking Diclegis, which definitely takes the edge off. Typically I get about 90 minutes where I feel pretty good about half hour after I take a tablet, and other times it just makes things manageable. I've also been taking my 3 tablets per day at 8hr intervals rather than 1 in the morning and 2 at night, since splitting them gives me better all day coverage.

@BarreMommy: Yay! That's awesome!
I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. My hip is a little achy, but I had the same issue when I was pregnant with my first. I am still very tired and my appetite isn't great.
