[Leinzlove]

Hi, I'd like to start this group, for those of us who are PAL. We can talk about anything and everything and enjoy our 9 months together. Please say something about yourself, and your EDD. I'll start a list on this page.

I'm very early in PG. I had a MC in March, and got my BFP 5/14/12.

Hi, I'm with you!

Had a loss in beg April at 6 weeks. Maybe should have suspected something b/c of lack of symptoms. Wasn't tired or ms, kept up with Zumba, etc. With previous two kids, had pretty bad symptoms so I feel like I should have known...but don't they say every pregnancy is different? Sigh.

Tried again right away and had a BFP on 5/13 and have been in a pretty bad way. Every symptom in the book. I keep saying to myself that's a good thing! But it still sucks.

EDD for now: Jan 21. Dead of winter.

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm also due in the dead of winter. I MC in March and concieved 1st cycle after AF came. I'm very excited, but very nervous also.

I'm glad you are having symptoms. But, also urgh! I got my BFP on May 14, which was shocking because I thought no way its to early.

Since I've been experiencing sore boobs, fatigue and freguent urination.

 

[mandmandp]

Oh, yeah, if you're in OH then you certainly have the potential to be giving birth in a blizzard! That's my fear...along with many others of course!

Was that your first loss in March?

 

[Leinzlove]

Yes, my only angel is in March! And OH will probably getting a blizzard, but as long as I can make it to the hospital I'll be good.

You're more likely to have the blizzard, though I think!

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

You sure can hun! Congratulations! How exciting that DD is turning 1. My DD turned 1 at the end of last month! It's a fun age.

Well let us know when your EDD is. For now I'll base it on LMP!

Yes, I can't wait to get out of the first trimester. Just taking it one day at a time.

However, last night I had a dream I MC again. It was so awful.

What kind of symptoms are you ladies experiencing?

 

[TM2011]

As far as my symptoms my appetite doesnt know what it wants!lol.Nothing sounds good at all!have some low back pain and minor cramping thats due to gas im pretty sure, cuz i def feel constipated(sorry TMI) , and feeling exhausted :/

 

[Leinzlove]

I can definitley relate to the feeling exhausted! I have Super Sore pregnant boobs! Frequent urination and thats about it for now. My Af was due today!

[Bump2Baby]

Im due jan 18th, I've had 5 MC between my 2 older daughters.

 

[Gettingcloser]

I am looking for a bump buddy. I am due January 12th. Someone message me!!

 

[mandmandp]

Congrats to TM2011, Lauren, and Bump2Baby (cute handle!)!!

Sorry to hear about all the challenges getting here. I hope we all have sticky beans.

Symptoms so far have included sore boobs, some cramping, bloating, constipation grr, headaches, tiredness, and nausea. Luckily, not all at once.

I had my hcg levels checked on Thursday and go back on Monday for second test. On Tuesday, they'll let me know if they're increasing as appropriate. I hope so! Last time they barely increased at all over 2 weeks--I wish I'd known so that I could have been prepared for the loss. Obviously, biting my nails till Tues...

 

[Leinzlove]

Welcome, Ladies! Congratulations on your BFPS! I'm very excited about more ladies to share in this journey. As it is different after a loss, it's cruel. I'm so scared all of the time. I feel quilty about it... But, I can't stop.

Do any of you have advise on having less anxiety? I keep trying to tell myself. "My body will just have to know what to do." But, its hard. I want this baby so bad.

I don't mind if this group is small. I made it just because, I'd like to BNB friend people who are going through what I am right now.

Manmandp: I can't wait to hear how nicely your HCG levels are rising! I wish I could get the same tests for myself. However, my Dr. doesn't warrant them. I just have to wait till week 8 for my scan.

 

[Lauren021406]

How are all you ladies feeling??

 

[Leinzlove]

Lauren: Very sore PREGNANT Boobs, they hurt so bad, frequent urination, restless sleep... Thats about it for now.

How are you feeling, hun?

 

[mandmandp]

The sore boobs are a good sign, Leinzlove! That was the first thing the nurse asked me over the phone when I was scheduling the blood work.

I'm wondering exactly how to deal with anxiety too. I guess being busy helps, but only a bit. Hubby tries to help, but it still seems more like a possibility rather than a probability for him. I wish I could be that detached, but it's impossible. I'm attached--both figuratively and literally!

I guess the best philosophy, as I read on someone else's post, is to take things day by day. Looking forward to one more successful/safe? day's end...
