Hi ladies!

I am looking to start a small group (>15 bumps) of ladies. The reason I want a small group is that sometimes, I find, with the large groups that posts sometimes get lost and also they are harder to follow (especially if you cant get on every day!)

Over the next 8 months, I look forward to getting to know this small group on a first name basis, developing a small group of friends to share with!

If you are interested, I found this great get to know you survey. Simply copy and paste it and delete my info and add yours!

Welcome Erin and Kim!

How are you both feeling so far?

Hi Lindsay! At the beginning of this past week I had lots of lower abdominal discomfort (slight cramps, stretching, muscle tightness and minor spasms), little bouts of nausea just for a min or two and breast tenderness that has now turned in to nipple pain. How about you?

Hi Erin,
Very similar! Last week and into this week I have had, what I can only describe as, random pains/twinges.... some days it is on one side more than the other, some days its like a MILD af cramp, other days it is just a twinge here and there.

On Friday, I was in the car with my hubby and had a random spell of "oh my Gawd I'm going to be sick" and felt very nauseous and over heated but then it went away within about 30 seconds... that was one of the first clues that I was going to expect a BFP the next day! I have a headache today.... don't know if it's pregnancy related or just the change in the weather....

Feeling pretty good! BB's are sore, I've had waves of nausea (food seems to help). I had no nausea/morning sickness with my daughter, so I'm not sure if this is going to last or get worse! I have noticed today that my sense of smell seems hightened.

Hi Erin, Hannah and Cher!!

Hi Kim! I've noticed that all of a sudden I'm starving and then feel lightheaded and then nauseous. As soon as I eat it goes away too.
