im nervous about it too
but i will just have to wait another eight days
until my first prenatal appointment and scan
im pretty sure everything is fine because there is no bleeding

i havent really experienced any bloating

 

[MilosMommy7]

Ladies, I had to unbutton my pants today! I am so bloated. I know I don't really have a bump at 6.5 weeks but this bloating makes my tummy big!

I thought I would offer up a tip. If you have one if these places in your area ( or something similar) called 'Any Lab Test Now' you can order a blood test for Hcg for $49. I did this with my mc in feb and for the first blood draw for this pregnancy. I got my results within 48 hours. I am trying to keep myself from going back there before my first visit to the doctor. I know they will get new bloods next week when I go, but I sure would like to know what the Hcg is now. It doubled back at 14 and 16 dpo so I should be ok. But I'm so nervous about this!

I've been having to do that too for the last few days. I weighed myself thinking I gained like 5lbs, but haven't gained anything. Lol

MilosMommy: Did you ever hear back from MIL?

That is really awesome! I might have to check it out if I am unable to convince the RE for another lab. Thanks!

hey ladies! no new symptoms for me. I set up my first 2 appts (1st one is with a nurse going over the do's and don'ts, 2nd with a dr) I told dh. I gave him a father's day card.

while I was eating dinner today though something odd happened. I was chewing, then thought 'my tongue feels weird.' then suddenly one lymph node in my neck started swelling. then the flap under my tongue swelled up too. it's not getting any bigger but it's annoying to swallow now. it's sore but hurts if I poke it. I've read that it should be fine but I'm calling my obgyn in the morning.

maisie78, I'm so sorry

Ladies, I have the most amazing news! After having diarrhea for 3 days, followed by horrible constipation and bloating for 3 days, I FINALLY POOPED TODAY!!!! Praise The Lord! That is all ;-p

 

[Megamegan]

Gdef, I know the feeling, that IS great news! Constipation is the absolute worst.

Ladies I'm only 3+1 (I gave in and I'm going by doc's dates even tho I think they're 2 days off) and I'm smelling every stinkin thing, and I'm starving, and nauseous all at once. I'm not complaining, but like... is this something people get used to?

I think it's so cool that we all can go through our pregnancies together I have no one to do that with in real life, at least not at the same time (yet), so it's so great to have a group like this.

 

[misspriss]

As with my last pregnancy, I'm generally symptom free, although I had some insomnia last night, and I'm tired. But the tiredness could be due to the insomnia last night...

I'm super hungry, I guess that is a symptom though. DH hasn't been feeling well, last night he didn't eat but half of his dinner. I finished mine, finished his, and went back to the kitchen within an hour...

thats weird my tongue underneath went sore too last week for two days. I thought this is odd!!!

 

[Gdef]

Megamegan, I only had nausea & morning sickness one time throughout my whole first pregnancy. But this one is a totally different story! Today was actually probably the worst day I've had so far bc I have been nauseous all day and actually threw up twice. Yuck. I have figured out that my nausea is a little better if I eat something, even though it's the absolute last thing that I want to do feeling so nauseous! And yes, I smell EVERYTHING. I swear I smelled the mexican restaurant the other day, which brought on a crazy craving for mexican food, and it's about a mile from my house! LOL

Big hugs maisie .

MilosMommy: Did you ever hear back from MIL?

My mom? Yeah I saw her today because we had to go pick up my oldest since he stayed the night. She didn't say much except ask a few questions. Didn't seem to show any emotion about it though

 

[confuzion]

I'm sorry your mom didn't react with excitement. I think I would be heartbroken . But I'm honesty surprised. My mom has tons of grandkids but always telling me she wants more more more.

 

[MilosMommy7]

Last night when I went to bed and realized she had no intentions of replying to my email, I wanted to cry she has acted this say with all my children and I don't get why. Before I ever got pregnant with my oldest, she told me to my face she didn't think I'd be a good mom my children are her only grandchildren because my sister tried for years without success before divorcing! She loves them but then gets upset when I'm pregnant? but she'll get over it eventually, just pisses me off she is a negative nancy!
Sorry, ranting. Lol.

 

[confuzion]

Told you that she didn't think you'd be a good mom .

I'm really sorry you have to deal with that. She might get over it eventually but that doesn't make that behavior ok. You're a better woman than me. I don't think I'd even speak to my mom if she had that kind of attitude.

 

[bridgetboo62]

ugh so today me and OH DTD (sorry tmi)
and ever since i have been having pains in my tailbone whenever i sit down
i read up and it said hormones can cause the ligaments and such down there to loosen sometimes causing tailbone pain in the first tri

but its weird that it would just start immediately after intercourse

 

[Katy78]

I'm sorry about your mom's attitude, MilosMommy7. Try to ignore her, if possible.
My mom is quite the opposite. She wants as many grandchildren as possible (she has two so far, my younger brother has a DD who is a year older than my DS). But she caused me a lot of grief constantly bugging me with questions like when is she going to be a grandma... Even before, when I was still single. It didn't bother me then but it sure did when OH and I were unsuccessfully TTC. I didn't know if I was ever going to have children and she was bugging me about it. I told her we had problems when we finally managed to get pregnant and we told her never to ask again. That we would try to have another one but there are no guarantees we would be able to.
I never ask people about their plans for children because there's a high chance they are having problems conceiving, more and more couples are having fertility problems nowadays. And I know how much it hurts if people keep asking you about it, in that case.

 

[laura109]

Girls do you find you have more cm after walking???

 

[Jbaby90]

I had my first scan today and saw our little bean and it's heartbeat
