I'd love to join this small group. I'm due January 4th.

Welcome Brieri!
Can you fill out the survey on pg 1 so we can get to know you a little!?

 

[Greens25]

Hey ladies,
My symptoms sort of come and go right now too! Mostly my boobs. They are sore, then not, then tingly, then just my nipples, then not, then....who knows!

With my last pregnancy my boobs KILLED but I cannot remember how far along I was when it started.... I think approaching 5 weeks they got really bad.

I am going for bloodwork today!

To make a pre-natal appt. just call your doctor....they will tell you when they want to see you. From what I remember, I was about 8 weeks last time.

Prenatal vitamins are VERY important.... I am not sure what oct are but I have been taking a prenatal vitamin once a day since July. the folic acid is the most important part!

I am back to work today since finding out.... I am hoping for no nausea because I am a teacher..... hopefully I will have it easy.....

How is everyone else today?

Special welcome to our new joiners, Terri, Jordan and Stephanie!

Does 15 group members sound like a good number to your guys? We are getting close to that FAST! I want to keep it small so we can reallly get to know each other and have a nice chat spot to....complain! I find with large groups that topics and questions get lost in the mix! Let me know what you think. If you want like 10 members that is fine too! Just let me know which you would prefer!

 

[silverbullet]

I am going to see doctor today to confirm then he will refer me to midwife.

Will let you know how it goes!!

Hey Ami!
When was the first day of your last period? do you typically have 28 day cycles? I'd love to add you to our due date tracker!

My cycles are irregular, anything between 21 and 35 days this was my 1st time TTC so I haven't tracked my cycles, my last cycle was 35 days

To the point Online DD calculator says 1st Jan xx

 

[happymummax]

I'm off to see my gp today.. rang my FS and they said i needed to incase there are any problems..

Is anyone cramping? I still feel like AF is coming x

I'm getting cramping and I've been told it's completely normal unless you're bleeding as well, but just double check with your doc/midwife if you're still worried xx

 

[brieri1]

Will I be able to get an ultrasound to find out for sure how far along I am at my doctor's appointment on June 5th, even though I know my LMP?

I don't know what country you're in but in the UK you usually see a doc/midwife and 'book your pregnancy in' then you're sent for your scan based on your EDD by LMP. You can always go for a private scan if you're anxious xx

I live in the US, and my husband is a marine, so I have military insurance, Tricare Prime. But I also have epilepsy, which I'm told makes me a little more risky.

 

[Indiapops]

Ive seen my gp today.. he was about as much help as a chocolate fire gaurd.. as far as my concerns...he didn't even ask me to poas..
I spoke to midwife.. she said the cramps are normal.. unless I start to bleed.. first appointment is at 8 wks x

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I had cramping, pulling, stretching, muscle tightness for 5 days straight and it has now lessened quite a bit. I still have it every so often. I don't normally have cramps with af but I'm assuming this is what people are talking about. I've also had some "breath-catching" muscle pulls if I've been bent at the waist too long and stand up or sneezing, anyone else had this?

 

[BabyDust04]

Hey Ladies!! Welcome Brittany and Jessica!!

I have an appointment with my Primary Physician tomorrow morning so I can POAS and have them confirm what I already know

Once that is done I will call my OB and make that appt, although I know that one won't be for another month or so.

I have had the pulling/cramping as well. I remember it from my first pregnancy and think it's completely normal. I'm still having some queasiness in the mornings too.

 

[duckytwins]

I am so conflicted about wanting symptoms. I would love to have them to reinforce that I am really pg, but I can't be throwing up, nauseous or feeling sick at my new job just yet. And I always hate to see any kind of blood. I've been spotting on and off for 5 days now. I am bound and determined, this time, though, to not let it drive me crazy. Last time, I sprinted to the ER every time I saw blood. Of course, I got to see Tess and hear her heartbeat at those times, but worrying about the bleeding did me no good.

 

[BabyDust04]

I am the same way. With my first pregnancy, every twitch had me worrying. I spotted, fairly heavily, at 6 weeks with my daughter. After 6 hours in the ER and 3 ultrasounds, they sent me home no better off than when I got there.

I have made the same promise to myself, I am not going to let everything drive me crazy, just try to stay calm and as relaxed as I can!

 

[brieri1]

I was supposed to start my period today. I know it isn't coming, but part of me is still waiting for it.
