Congrats flagrl on your pregnancy. How are you feeling?

Wow Sjdsmommy, that is A LOT of birthdays around your due date. Sounds like an expensive month.
My due day is my hubby's birthday. I doubt very much it will be born on the day but who knows will still be nice birthday present for him.

not sure if this has already been talked about but does anyone has a inkling of what they are having or how many they are having? I have a feeling im pregnant with twins, and if im not, I just feel like im having a girl lol

 

[SJDsMommy]

I feel the EXACT same way as you!

I knew my first was a boy and I knew my 2nd was a girl... this time around I keep seeing signs for blue and boy but I don't think so and then part of me is afraid it might be twins because I have NEVER gotten a positive test before missing my period and this time around I was only about 7 dpo by my count... but there is a VERY small chance it could have happened last month and what I thought was a period wasn't.. it was shorter but normal flow so idk.. my gut is screaming its another girl. even my 3 year old is referring to the baby as she.. Crossing my fingers I'm right this time too but we will know in a couple months!

 

[SJDsMommy]

Also, I had ordered a clear blue digital test with weeks estimator online.. thats finally coming in today, tracking says its out for delivery so just waiting on the mail man to come by! I only got this test because I wanted a better idea of how far along I am.

 

[honeybeartee]

I have no idea whatsoever, we have twin girls already & I know my DH would love a boy but the fact I got such an early BFP makes me think it's another girl. I don't think this time it's twins though.

 

[SJDsMommy]

I didn't get a BFP with my daughter until 3 days after my missed period but you never know.. if its true I'll be happy too because I'm hoping for another girl myself haha.

So I think I ovulated 3-4 days (maybe even more) sooner than I originally thought this time (I thought ovulation should have been on the 12th..) but I took the weeks estimator test and it says conception was between 2 and 3 weeks ago. I am even more anxious now to go to the dr and get beta levels and I'm even more anxious to get an accurate due date. But I used a due date calculator and used the 9th as a date of conception (since two weeks ago would have been the 9th) going by that and my last period, my due date would be the 2nd of may (or one week before that if I'm 3 weeks..) My water broke with my daughter at night at 39 weeks and 3 days, she was born at 1:57 am the next morning. (my active labors are around 5 1/2 hours total) so If I had to guess ar a birthday? I'd say April 27th

Hiya ladies, how are you all feeling? Anybody have any symptoms yet?
I'm 5 weeks today and have started feeling it a little. Making an appointment today to go to the doctor next week.

 

[Lithodora]

I'm just at the 5 week point now too, still no symptoms other than the very smallest bit of cramping once or twice a day. I'm going to go to the doctor next week too I think. I'm not fussed on going to the gp soon at all, but ideally I would want the 12 week scan as soon as possible in October as I have friends and family coming to stay mid/late that month and I don't want to tell them before the scan shows everything is alright so waiting until 14 weeks would be awkward. So I suppose the sooner I go the better, and start the process.

 

[SJDsMommy]

I think I am about 4 weeks 3 days right now. I have a dr appointment tomorrow for all the blood work and pap smear (bleh!) and HOPEFULLY I will get a date for my first ultrasound which should be next month. Its a good thing they called to confirm, the lady who set up the appointment told me 8:45 but its actually at 8:00. Looks like I'm waking up early tomorrow! Its a 15 minute drive and I have to be there early to fill out paper work of course.. Hopefully my kids behave! haha Well I know my son will but my daughter is a handful.. but their dad has an appointment too.

 

[honeybeartee]

Goodluck Sjdsmommy, I hope the appointment goes well for you. Is it standard that they do a smear on pregnant women over there? I don't think that's the norm here but I need to inquire as I am due my smear.
My appointment is for next Tuesday at 10.15. I have no idea what to expect. I have the same motivation as you lithodora, I want my 12 week scan on mid oct. It's my daughters birthday on the 14th of oct & we'll be visiting family. I won't be able to hide my belly as my jeans are already feeling a bit snug now.

 

[Lithodora]

I actually just got a letter for my smear test last week, I'm going to ask the doctor when I go, I think they still do them if it's due quite early on like this, but I could be wrong. I don't really mind, if they can do it it's better to get it done I guess.

I still have pretty much no symptoms, I equally want to say long may it last and I'd like a little symptom or two All that's been happening me is that as well as the bouts of cramps each day now when I make any sudden movement that involves my abdomen it's like it's all looser and hurts! If I sneeze, sit up funny, lean sideways, I get these shooty pains heading out from where my uterus is to my hip bones for a second or two. Makes for very entertaining noises out of me

 

[honeybeartee]

Lithodora I think that is like growing pains from your uterus.
Is anybody else starting to show? I had to unzip my jeans while out at the shops today. Luckily I was wearing a long top. Starting to wonder if I have 2 in there again

Yes in the US it is standard to have a pap smear early in pregnancy. I thought it was going to be the first appointment but I guess my drs office does it at 8 weeks now (so usually the 2nd appointment). The first one was just a urine sample, pregnancy confirmation and a quick talk with the dr and then blood work of course. I'll be calling tomorrow to get my levels.


My next appointment I will have a pap smear (bleh haha) and an ultrasound to confirm due date

We will be announcing pregnancy later that day (the 24th) (probably right as I get home and can upload the pic to the collage I am making) No way would I be able to wait until 12 weeks or later haha. My daughter's birthday is also in October! on the 11th She will be 2 this year.
