Good to hear!! I do not blame you for wanting to wait now. Just a few more weeks and we will be in 2nd tri!!!! Keep us posted!

Hi ladies! I am due (so far, by LMP) on August 22nd. Had a quick US at almost 8 weeks that showed the heartbeat but no dating done then. Next scan and appointment at almost 12 weeks.

This will be #1 for my husband and me. We just bought our first house and I can't wait to decorate baby's room.

I am very ready to be out of the first trimester- as I'm sure you all are too. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I also just want to tell everyone and relive the excitement again!

I hear ya on the sick and tired. LOL

Good morning/afternoon everyone

How are you ladies feeling?

I'm feeling much better than yesterday, thankfully. I had a lot of head pressure and dizziness and was awful tired. I tested my blood and it came back a bit high so I am keeping a close eye on it just to be safe. I'm just tired today. Back doesn't hurt as much though so I am quite happy.

Very nervous about tomorrow because I have an appointment with a new cardiologist. I'm scared because I fear that, if he doesn't know much about my condition, he'll simply dismiss it and undo about 10 years of personal medical progress. Really hope he will be nice and not some grumpy old man. He didn't look too smiley on his picture... I hate meeting new doctors!

What are you ladies up to today? Have any of you purchased anything yet? I've only purchased a baby book and looking into a pregnancy journal. That's it for now though.

Have a sweet day everyone!

were you able to find the HB last night? be sure to update us on your appt!

Jazzy: your appointment is today? Keep us updaded!


Nela: Do you have a heart condition? Good luck meeting your new doctor! I have only nought a girl outfit and a girl outfit. Hahaha. My friend gave me a book ( it is her nephew's favorite book). I will not (or try not) to buy anything else until 20 weeks. No clothes until June! We are not finding out the sex so I want to be able to return anything we cannot use! Haha

I have a doctor appointmet today. Just a pap, getting blood work results back etc. And hopefully she will try and find the hb!

I never eat fast food...I have probably had it once or twice in the last year but I have been craving a big mac like crazy!!!!!! Should I cave and get one for lunch after my appointment?!

Sure get one,is tasty:-)
Yes got appointment today have to see what is going on and why I get so high blood pressure.

Hey you! How did your appointment go? I haven't heard back from my blood test results from last Friday but I'm not sure how long it would take anyway. She bruised me quite a bit though. I haven't had a pap, hoping to get away with it... Did you end up getting your Big Mac?

Yeah, I have a problem with my nervous system which causes it to go randomly crazy. It affects my heart and sends it into tachycardia like crazy sometimes. It's not dangerous but can cause me to pass out so I've been on beta-blockers for a few years. They want to check now if it's better to have me on them or not during the pregnancy.

My appointment is in half an hour. I am lucky and my doctor is about a 4 minute drive from my house.

Have not gotten a Big Mac yet..it is only 1030 here in MN but seriously considering getting one for lunch! (Took the whole day off for my appointment). ; ).

Nela: that is scary but at least it is not dangerous for the baby. Passing out is the worst!

Jazzy: good luck at your appointment!

I will update after my appointment while I am shoving my face with a Big Mac! Haha

Hey ladies! I had my appointment and it went really good! She just did a pap ( I was due for one) She said my uterus felt good and was growing at the rate it should be. She listened for the heartbeat..I could not hear it but she said she could hear it (only because she knew exactly what to listen for and she had done it like a million times. haha) 170 bpm! She said my thyroid felt big so she had the nurse take some blood to have that tested...not quite sure what that could mean, but she said the results should be back in the next 2-3 days.

She had me schedule an appointment for 2 weeks and she said at that time I will for sure be able to hear the heartbeat, then after that I will have appointments every four weeks.

She said if I wanted to to the first trimester screening, we would do that in two weeks so I have to call and let the office know if I want to. I am torn on if I should do it or not. The results wouldn't change anything, but at the same time, it would be nice knowing if something was wrong. What do you ladies think about the first tri screening?

Oh, and I got the Big Mac and it was DELICIOUS!!!
