Any October babies to be?

[MooseGirl]

Hello!

Got my BFP last week, it feels weird to move from the "TTC" forum to the "Pregnancy" one.

It's comfortable to hear that not all of you are feeling symptoms. Besides some backaches and, like someone else said, a fluttering in my belly. I think my boobs are getting bigger, but they were big before.

Even though I was fairly active before I was pregnant, I don't think I'll do anything except the most gentle exercise for a few weeks until I'm sure this fetus is going to stick. It's kind of a bummer, because I love bike riding and running, but I'll have to stick with swimming and prenatal yoga. Snore.

Congrats Moosegirl it's very weird being in this section.. We had been trying for over a year for baby #1. So It's all new to me...
I too am bummed about my workout.. I do a cardio/strength training class 3x a week. I stopped going last Thursday because a lot of people keep telling me to take it easy and it's a group class so it's a little hard to not do some of the stuff we do. I even told my trainer that I was preggers and he said he could work around it, but I'm still being cautious. I walked on Saturday, but feel like I need to be doing more. I guess for now I should just relax and take it easy and most of all not worry, but I really want to go to my class. oh well.. baby is more important. I just know that they say you'll feel better thru pregnancy if you work out, so I'm anxious to start back up.

Good morning
I'm awake at stupid o'clock again - I seem to get one full night's sleep a week at the minute - and this week it was Sunday!

But am feeling very happy this morning that the clinic said I can have baths again (a shower attachment on a low pressure hot water system does not equal much fun on a cold winter morning!)

Hey all! I just turned 38 and am 6 weeks pregnant with my first (EDD is Oct 1). This pregnancy thing is a little weird. My symptoms haven't been too bad so far: just hungry every 2-3 hours, and slightly more sleepy than usual. I wouldn't even call it "fatigue." The worst part I've discovered so far is a *complete* and utter lack of motivation--which is so strange, b/c I LIKE to be busy with little pet projects, and I have 50 million going...just THINKING about doing any of them makes me tired...so I haven't done much of anything in the last week or so. It's very depressing. I sit here wondering what is wrong with me. All I want to do is keep track of how the LO is developing each week...and I've starting narrowing it down to the DAY, too...I've learned more about embryogenesis (I'm impressed with myself that I know such a big word now!hehehe!) than I ever thought possible...Anyone else in a similar boat?

I will have to leave this thread. I lost my little bean yesterday. I will be trying again as soon as my body recovers. Much love and super sticky beans! x

So sorry anorak, big

Yes! Congrats.. this is my first too.. I'm 35.. gonna be 36 for delivery. I'm not that fatigued either, my sisters keep telling me.. oh you wait for it.. it will come. I have no motivation, no desire to do anything.. just go home after work and sit on the couch.. over the weekend that's all I did. Feel super lazy.. and I'm a little bummed because prior to bfp I'd been working out a lot.. and now I've halted my strength training classes. I go 3x a week.. everyone recommends to take it easy but I feel like they'd be good for me. I don't know i may go back to class.. the trainer already knows.. so will see.
I'm totally obsessed about what's going on.. I have a few books and read them every night. I get so excited thinking it's growing inside me.. love it!

 

[MrsR3AM5]

Lucky7s, It's hard for me to believe that a new person is growing inside me. Usually, the thought makes me panic that I'm doing something wrong. Yesterday, though, I was so bloody bloated all day, I explained it to my husband this way: Imagine the most horrible scene of an alien inhabiting a human (he's a huge sci-fi fan!), and that's how my stomach felt all day! He got totally grossed out. But I was just soooooo uncomfortable, and my belly was so tight and big (even tho I'm only 6 weeks...). Uggh. Today, I'm wearing sweats all day!

 

[Butterfly67]

Am also feeling very bloated but in denial that there will be a baby at the end of this

So tired too I could for England

 

[Lucky7s]

I know.. it's nuts.. I'm totally bloated.. I can't believe it sometimes.. and very gassy.
I burp uncontrollably and I'm eating healthy foods.. it's gross, and it's just the beginning. I'm worried.. lol
I'm 6 weeks today! woo woo

 

[urchin]

I've got a bad case of the burps too - and absolutely anything I eat sets me off, not just the usual culprits like cucumber

also very tired: in bed by 9pm but wide awake again at 3am
tits are sore
and am starting to feel a little nausea

AND AM LOVING IT ALL!

After 4 years of ttc, I will take any symptoms that mother nature has to throw at me, so long as this baby (or babies) continue to grow and thrive I really don't care!

 

[Traskey]

Hello ladies, may I join you.

I am 40 in 2 weeks and expecting our first after two rounds of IVF.
My due date is 18th October.

I also have the burps, gaviscon has become my friend and the odd wave of nausea.

Congrats Traskey
