Welcome back Millhaven!!

 

[Millhaven]

Hi ladies!! Hope everyone's doing great and had a wonderful weekend!!!
I go for my scan in about an hour or so. I'm excited but nervous too. Im 5 wks 1 day but really don't have many symptoms either. I wake up at all hours of the night have such vivid dreams, almost nightmares and wake feeling like it actually happened! Oh and get this, my sister in law announced she was pregnant the other day and has the EXACT due date as me!!! Isn't that crazy, how can that even happen lol!
Anyways, I'll post a pic after my scan!

What a coincidence! Good luck with your scan!

Excited to see our tickers progressing!

Agreed, it's nice seeing some change in the ticker, since we probably can't see any major body changes yet. I've got some bloating and really sensitive nipples - other than that - nothing. I hope I don't get morning sickness!

Good luck jaysbaby, can't wait for updates!
Welcome back Millhaven!!

Thank you!

Excellent lines dan-o! and I only had 3 bowls of the lucky charms so there's still more than half left!
Welcome back Millhaven!

Excited for all of our sweet peas

I have to ask, is anybody else noticing a lot of spots? I usually only get the odd 1 or 2 when AF is due but right now I have around 9 spots on my face! I've had them since around 8dpo!
I know it's a hormonal thing but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about it? I don't tend to wear make up usually but I feel like I have to try and cover them up at the moment.

I have a few less than I get around AF. Just a handful of small ones, thankfully. But I'm breaking out on my upper back as well as on my face. Gross.

Crikey...I've said it before but I'll say it again! This thread really runs away from me when I don't check in for a couple of days!!!!!

So great to see more new bumps-to-be! Welcome and congratulations!

Hope everyone is feeling good so far. I'm laughing at the gradual shift as we all feel a bit more preggers into lucky charms and feeling rough!

As for me, I don't know if it's because this pregnancy is so hot on the heels of my last pregnancy (12 weeks between them) but my body seems to just be going "oh right, so we're doing that again are we?" And whoosh...crazy boobs, fundus palpable already. Nauseous morning noon and night. But I don't mind because it suggests things are ok I guess.

Anyone else had short interpregnancy intervals and noticed how fast things move?

Have a great Sunday girls looking forward to the scan updates!

Hi all, my scan went great!!!! They were able to see not only the gestational sac but also the yolk sac in there too! So happy and thankful! I go again in 2 weeks to see the heartbeat!

 

[dan-o]

Aww look at that! Congrats on the fab scan!!

 

[MartinaC]

Hi all! I am 4w5d and a nurse told me my EDD is March 12th. The dr ordered me to get my hcg levels checked every three days. Thankfully the firt "set" showed that they are doubling every 32 hours, which is good, right? The waiting part is really the hardest. I only told my husband, mother, and a close friend so it's great being able to come here and chat about symptoms, excitement, fears, etc. Hope I can join the group!

 

[dan-o]

Hi martinac, welcome!

 

[chelsealynnb]

Dan-o, great lines!

Jay's baby, awesome scan!

As far as the dopplers go, I have a Sonoline B and I love it! I tried at 8 weeks last pregnancy to pick up the heartbeat and I could clearly hear it! A little tip, if you run out of the gel that comes with it, you can use Aloe too it works the same.

5W6D:

Man those symptoms are hitting me hard today! I got up 3-4 times last night to pee, got up at 8 to eat something and after I ate oatmeal I was so close to puking (I could have if my head was over a toilet) then went back to bed and got back up at 11. I could have slept longer but I have stuff to do. I can't wake up! And my boobs are killing me! I'm loving these symptoms! 5 more days til the heartbeat scan hubby will be out of town for work so my best friend is coming with me

Thank you Mrs K Chicago and Punky Brewster.

Yes. I have 6 children at home. I was married before. We had 3 girls together. He was very abusive and i got myself and my girls out of that situation.

Fast forward a couple years and i married my Best Friend Aaron. We now have 2 girls and 1 boy. He is in the middle of all of these girls. So we are hoping for another boy for his sake.

Does anyone NOT have any symptoms yet? The only thing I really have is a little bit of an upset stomach after I eat, but otherwise, nothing. I'm getting worried. I know it's supposedly "normal" to not have symptoms until 6-7 weeks, but it seems like most everyone else has at least something....

 

[MamaTex]

So I bought a cheap test from Walmart and a Clear Blue Advanced Digital Weeks Estimator. These were the results!



I got my 3+. I am happy to see it. I last used a Clear Blue Digital Advanced Weeks estimator test on 6/29, so it has been a few days but I am glad there is some progression as I turn 6 weeks on Tuesday.

Side note: I started feeling queasy in Walmart so I ate a Fiber One brownie to see if that would make me feel better. It did but only for a bit. Walking out in the hot sun definitely didn't help. Once I got inside in the AC, I ate a plum to see if that would settle my stomach. Nope. Ugh, I feel like I need to lay down.

Yankeegirl79: Poor guy, drowning in estrogen

madtowngirl: I don't really feel too many consistent symptoms besides being tired, hungry, and really emotional. Completely different from my last pregnancy as I was not emotional at all. Outside of random waves of mild nausea, I can't say I feel too different at this stage. Like you, I feel I should be experiencing more, but maybe it is right around the corner for the both of us eh?

How much cramping is normal? My uterus is feeling "big" and I'm not bleeding, but I almost doubled over for a second... It's still cramps now (been about 15 mins but less severe). I'm scared!

I had quite a bit of cramping in the early weeks with my last pregnancy. Some were barely noticeable and other times it felt like aunt flow cramps. If the cramps persist, lie down and drink some water. If they get worse and/or you start bleeding, it would be a good idea to at least place a call to your doctor when you can. Of course, if you feel the need to go in to urgent care or the ER, then do that but I wouldn't go unless you were bleeding profusely and in serious pain. You are more than likely just experiencing some growing pains

I'm not feeling too much most days now. Breasts aren't too bad, not really nauseous. Still some cramping. I'm kind of excited to have symptoms and dreading it all at the same time. I wouldn't worry. Just enjoy it for now!
BTW, I asked my mom a bit ago and she said she didn't really get symptoms, only got sick once, etc, but everything was still fine. So you might end up being one of the lucky ones.

I have been getting cramping for pretty much the whole time I've known about the pregnancy. Some are bad, others aren't. I wouldn't worry too much unless you see a lot of blood. There is a lot of stuff happening down there right now (which is what I tell myself, too), so it makes sense to have cramping.

Thanks MamaTex and Bucherwurm made me feel much better! I'm going to blame it on gas (and I blame my gas on Squiggles). And it's true there is a lot going on and growing and stuff... Early days when you can't physically see the changes as much makes it harder to put it together in my mind...
