Thanks for the kind welcomes and all the love, guys!
I know this is an April forum, but with my date estimated at 3/30/11, I'd be willing to be I might be an April mommy. In fact, my hubby is quite excited at the possibility of sharing his birthday, which is April 5.
I've been doing a little research and the spotting and cramping lots of y'all are describing does sound normal, albeit scary. Every time I go pee, I get all tense thinking of seeing any blood. So far, though, not a bit of spotting, just ridiculous cramps that are worse in the morning (like now, ugh) and evening. My appetite has been crazy too. Like one meal, I'm ravenous and can't eat enough, then other times, I just push it around and eat a bite or two. Also, I've been dreaming even more than I usually do. I dreamed this morning that a truck hit me head on! SCARY.
I go tomorrow and see if my hCG levels have doubled.
We've told a lot of family and friends we're expecting, but told them to keep it on the DL at least until we make it "Facebook official." Originally, we said we'd wait until it was confirmed by a blood test. Well, actually before we ever got pregnant, I said I'd wait til the first ultrasound, but that's just impossible for me now. LOL. But since blood test did confirm it, I just want to wait until hCG levels go up a little before putting it all out there. My first dr's appointment is in one week! I can't wait. How long before you guys told family/friends? Or are we all still to early? Are my hCG levels comparable to yours or what you've heard to be normal? Just wondering!
