Anyone else expecting a July 2015 peanut with me?? Would love some bump buddies :)

Hey all! I've been a lurker and a semi-regular poster over the past couple of months. Took a month off the website to move to a new apartment and deal with some family stuff, but I'm back now and would love to buddy up and discuss our pregnancies! I'm living out of state from all of my friends and family (military husband) so I don't have a whole lot of people to talk to at the moment.
EDD is July 19 based off of my LMP. I have my first prenatal appointment and scan/US on December 29. SO nervous!

Hi and welcome back ! I'm due July 26 with baby number 2! Happy to chat with you! You must be so excited for your scan!!

 

[MNgirl1991]

I am nervous more than anything. Down here, doctors won't see you before you're 10 weeks pregnant so I've had to wait 5 whole weeks to finally see someone. I've been taking prenatals and trying to do everything right, but I've never had blood tests or a scan so who knows if everything is alright with little bean. Just have to wait another week to see. It's so nerve-wracking!
We have very close EDDs. Mine will probably change after my first US. I'm hoping I'm a little farther along than I think lol

: ) I know it's hard to not be nervous. I had my first scan last time after 10 weeks too... It's definitely hard to wait that long without seeing the little bean. But I think you kinda worry no matter what, cause I had a scan at 7 weeks this time and I'm still nervous about my next one. Until you can feel bubs moving all the time, it's hard not to worry

 

[MNgirl1991]

Did your scan go alright then? And last time, were you able to hear a heartbeat fairly easily at 10 weeks? I'll be 11w1d on my appointment so I'm assuming everything should be pretty visible by then lol do they usually automatically give you copies of the US or do you have to ask?
Hoping you have a H&H 9 months

Greetings!

Mind if I join in? My EDD is July 16th.

I can completely relate to your anxiety. Those first few weeks were INSANE for me. I have anxiety on the reg anyway, when it's just me to worry about. So pregnancy has brought on a whole new slew of worries that are so intense sometimes I feel like I'm going to completely lose it.

I know it's hard to wait, but try to think positive. I had a private scan at 8 weeks because I couldn't take it anymore, and it really helped ease my mind. But leading up to it, I reminded myself of this: Seeing the heartbeat on an ultrasound doesn't immediately make it exist. Baby's heartbeat is already beating, even though you can't see it. I don't know if that helps, but it helped me a lot to think of it that way. Anyway at 11 weeks a heartbeat shouldn't be hard to find! In the meantime try not to stress and take good care of yourself!

Hi ladies,

My EDD is 26th July and I'm currently willing the time away until 15th January, when I have my 12 week scan. Unfortunately, it looks as though my hubby will have to miss it. He's in the military and will be away on a promotion course, so we may have a private scan a few weeks later, so that he doesn't miss out.

As this is an IVF pregnancy, we were lucky enough to have an early scan at 7+4. As great as it was to see the baby's heartbeat, it's done little to calm my nerves. I had a mmc in April so I'm feeling really anxious about everything. I'm just hoping that over time, my nerves settle and I can start to enjoy my pregnancy x

Welcome ladies!
Whiteandblack- I can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, as well as seeing it. I actually dream about it all the time, which makes me feel so corny and lame lol
Has anyone been struggling with morning sickness like me? Mine is finally starting to taper off but it's been pretty bad from week 5 to 9.
I will definitely go check out the July mama's thread.

 

[MNgirl1991]

His princess- my husband is military too. I've had such a hard time scheduling an appointment that he can make. Luckily he has half days for the holidays and should be able to make the appointment on Monday. It would be so wonderful for us both to be there when we hear the heartbeat for the first time
