Hi ladies!!

I would love to join please?
I am due 16 September. I am on my phone so answering the questionaire will be a bit difficult now, but I will def do it on my laptop just now.

Congrats to all you lovely ladies!!!!

 

[Numero_uno]

Awww it's so weird reading this as this was my due date last year, 20 September 2012. Good luck for you all, it's worth every bit of sickness, pain, etc!

 

[TracyMol]

Right, I'm back and on my laptop quickly...

1. What day did you get your BFP? How many DPO were you?
Got first real IC bfp Sat 5th, and bloods confirmed Sun 6th...no idea of DPO, the one flippen month I DIDN'T track!!

2. Are you hoping for a or a ? Or maybe you're really ambitious and you hope it's, , , ?? REALLY hoping for a girl, have 7 year old son. We all holding thumbs for team pink.

3. Will you be learning baby's sex early, or staying team ?
Finding out the second we can!!

4. How old are you? What # is this for you?
I'm 30 turning 31 on the 18th Jan, and it's #2 for me (SOOOO almost identical to you Proserpina!!)

5. Have you had any pregnancy symptoms so far?
Ridiculously tired, bloated and boobs are heavy & sore, waves of nausea.

6. Have you announced your pregnancy to friends and family yet? If not, when do you plan on telling?
Announced to all...just couldn't keep it a secret!!

7. Do you have baby names picked out yet, and if so, do you want to share?
Yes we do...will announce after 8 week scan...feel like I'm jinxing it a little less then...silly me...

8. How do you feel about this pregnancy?
Absolutely shocked in the best way possible! This is a miracle baby (I have stage 4 endometriosis and had my last op only 3 months ago - major surgery!!). Was only given a 2% chance of falling pregnant naturally. So you can only imagine how I'm feeling right now!
And also, SO surreal....I just don't believe it's real, at all!!

Just so you all know, I may dissapear every now and then - my work schudule is hectic and my "me time" is few and far between unfortunately. I read almost daily while on the run, but don't always get to post.
But I'm trying to make this pregnancy super special, and by sharing it with super ladies every step of the way will hopefully force me to take a little time out more often.

So looking forward to this journey with all of you!!

Well, this sucks. Last year I had an ultrasound on my thyroid which indicated Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and my TSH was elevated. However, my T4 was normal, and I felt pretty okay, so my doctor decided not to treat.

Was just informed that now my TSH is really elevated and my T4 is low, so we need to treat. This probably accounts for at least part of the fatigue that I have been experiencing since a few days past ovulation. The doctor says he's going to consult someone on what dosage to start out with and get me on Synthroid.

In better news, my beta HCG quantity showed levels consistent with 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. So, that's good.

Welcome to the new ladies, and I will add you to the list later tonight. Going to go get in my afternoon cat nap.

ACCORDING TO MY MD IM EDD SEPT 23! nervous but hopeful. we miscarriedat 5 weeksin Dec hoping this one sticks. feeling nausea on and off, bloating dry heaving and super hungry and tired but im happy about it.

Can me and my bump join you ladies? I found out I am pregnant last Friday at 10 dpo. I didnt believe the 15 tests I took untl I went to see my gyno yesterday and she confirmed! I am 4w2d and due Sept 22! Its my first!

Here its weird... Normally you go to a gen practicioner to confirm then make an appointment with an ob for around 10 weeks. So i dont go until February 27th! crazy!

Anyway, how are you ladies feeling? Happy and healthy 9 months to us all! Congrats everyone

Congrats! Are you in Australia? Because I am and it is exactly as you said. I went to mu gp on Monday and she gave me the referal to go to the ob and to have my 1rst scan.
I already did the booking for the u/s for the 4 th of Feb and i called the ob they didnt want to see me until 10 weeks but i insisted and i will go the 12 of feb at 8 weeks . Where i come from you go to the ob from 5 weeks and you have a monthly ultrasound with the ob!

Just got back from my apt, and I was pleasantly surprised that the Dr (I really like him) said to me he wants to see me! I was so happy!! I was very worried cause I knew he wasn't taking any new patients. So this is great news. Just waiting for the call for dates of my first, and 20 wk ultrasound, and on Monday will be my first PG physical!! Tomorrow I will be going in for my fasting blood work. Oh this is exciting!
Now I don't feel like I need to POAS again

i would love a home birth with a birthing pool, i hate the thought of being stuck in a hospital room, it feels too clinical .. which is crazy cause im training to be a nurse haha but yeah, i just want to be in the comfort of my own home if i have any complications with my pregnancy though i will not hesitate in going into hospital to give birth .. im not planning on having any pain relief even if im in hospital .. i must be nuts!!

I plan on going with a midwife, I plan on trying to do it with out anything... I am not sure if it will be a home or hospital birth. I will decide that when I talk to them. I actually want to try a water birth, but I am not sure if that will happen.
