First trimester hittin' me like a mf train

I'm not functioning like a normal adult today so I've downed a Dr. Pepper and am on my second. Too tired for self control today😫

Round ligament pain + itching literally has me bedbound today. I'm so uncomfortable.

It’s been 1 week and 1 day since we saw our baby on ultrasound. It makes me anxious that I can’t expect another chance at seeing baby for a couple months (20 week anatomy scan). I am happy that I have my first midwife appt in 3 weeks, during which they’ll use a doppler to hear the hb at least. It’s a long 3 weeks to wait though! If that appt goes well I think I’ll finally feel confident enough to tell friends and acquaintances about our baby. I will be 12w3d.

My OB nurse appointment went well. It was about 20 minutes long and we basically just went over my medical history and then he gave me some basic prenatal education, which I pretty much knew about already. I did get some helpful information though. I will only be seen by a family doctor, unless I’m put as high risk. I do have the right to request to be seen by an actual OB doctor or a midwife, but it has to be approved.  I will only be seen once a month until I hit 36 weeks, and then I’ll go every 2 weeks until delivery. If I’m high risk, I’ll be seen once a week when I hit 36 weeks. I will get the serum integrated screening done at 10-13 weeks and again at 15-21 weeks to test for chromosomal abnormalities. Also, because there is a history of mental retardation in my family, they are going to talk with my doctor and see if he wants me to get NIPT done. If they do, I will be able to find out Tadpole’s sex pretty early, within the next few weeks or so. I’m secretly hoping that the doctor wants me to get it done because I would kill to know the sex of the baby. I’m dying here lol. 

I have my first ultrasound (transvaginal) scheduled for 10/25 at 10:50 AM. I’m excited, but also nervous because I have a male doctor and that makes me pretty uncomfortable. But I’ll live. 

So yeah. Appointment went pretty well. Now to just get through the next 2 weeks until I finally get to see Tadpole!

Friday and Saturday night, I went to bed puking and woke up like clockwork three hours later to puke some more. PLEASE LET TONIGHT BE DIFFERENT, TADPOLE. DX

Being pregnant is nothing like I imagined so far

I guess it's unfair of me to say but I didn't realize how completely sick and useless I would be this first trimester. My house is a disaster. My laundry and dishes are piled up to where every single peice is dirty. I'm nauseous all the time and even when I think I want to get out for some fresh air or something...driving in the car makes me carsick all of a sudden. All the girls I follow made adorable announcments on fb and I was so frustrated and sickly and lazy I just put out a "hey I'm pregnant" pretty much. And all the girls that are this far along with me it seems have bought so much for their babies, even if its just little outfits and stuff. I haven't bought anything except a pair of shoes that I used for the announcement. I feel like I'm doing a horrible job already and I'm realizing more and more that I can't count on B for much. I just wish I still lived near my friends, I know they would help me.

Today has been by far the worst, morning sickness wise. Being at work with all the sights and smells of veterinary clinic make it more intense, I think.

I have never drank so much milk in all my life. I'm going through about a gallon a week now. I'm not craving it, exactly, but it's one of the few liquids that I can tolerate and enjoy. Calcium, ahoy!
