FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

Just try and keep calm Laura. As long as you're not cramping constantly and there's no bleeding, you're fine.

Why is first tri so scary?
 
I've been asking the same question Laurac.

Wish we could get to the 12 week scan now!! Lol
 
Thanks laura i feel ok now had nothing else :)

It is scary indeed. Suppose thats the joy of finding out at the earliest point.... we have longer to waot :-(
 
Second tri will be here before we know it I'm sure!
We've booked a private scan for July 5th, which will be about 9 weeks. It will be eight years to the day that Amy and I first met so fingers crossed squishy is nice and healthy in there!
Just couldn't wait until twelve weeks!
 
Awww how exciting nearly a month less to wait so that will come around quick. Well me and my oh had our 2 year aniversary on the 2nd and i think that will be when this little one implanted.

Yeah the 2nd tri is meant to be the best one. I cant wait to have a bump so people can see im pregnant lol.
 
I also can't wait for a bump :)

I finally convinced my OB nurse to let me get an early scan. So we will see our baby's heartbeat around 7-8 weeks, and then another scan around 12 weeks. I feel so relieved.

Having a little lower back pain today and out of breath really easily. I have 2 more days to go before I pass my AF due date :)
 
Hello folks. I'm 5 +2 now. Looking forward to reaching the 6 week milestone. Only real symptom that im noticing at the moment is the need to pee through the night, it's not happening during the day though!

What are anyone else's main symptoms at the mo?

I am hungry a lot. I'm still breastfeeding DS1 pretty heavily though, so I CAN'T skimp on food or water or my milk might dry up.

I usually pee once during the night, but I sometimes did that when NOT pregnant, simply because when DS1 stirs at night and nurses for a while, it wakes me up, and I think about peeing...

I did notice my boobs were ever so slightly sore yesterday, but only slightly.

Some insomnia, and waking up early/not going back to sleep. I usually get up around 6:15-6:30. Not last night but the two nights before that, I got up at 5:45 without an alarm. Last night/this morning, it was 5:00! I have trouble going back to sleep after, which I used to not have a problem with at all.

I've been somewhat emotional the past two days as well.
 
Hi ladies!

Welcome ShakeItOut and anyone else who may have joined us since I peeked in yesterday. :) Congrats! :dance:

My symptoms are very few right now, but the few I have could potentially also be from the supplement for progesterone -- like my being tired all the time and bloating. My breasts hurt but I had that before the supplement so I think that's actually pregnant-related. I get heartburn a lot already, which I also did with my daughter. Occasionally I get a panging or cramp down there as things begin to stretch.

The tour of the birth center was great and I look forward to changing over with them. I plan to do the transition after my ultrasound though, just so I can have some answers before moving over to TBC completely. Hubby was very pleased with the center also, which is a bigger relief. I had the feeling I would love it but was concerned he might be skeptical, however he also was thrilled. He's looking forward to playing a bigger role in my delivery this time and though we had originally discussed utilizing a doula, he's going to take an additional class or two at the center to serve as my 'doula' instead. :)
 
Congrats shakeitout!

Miss priss, congrats on the digi! So happy for you!

Today I'm so so morning sick. I'm not worrying anymore mainly because I'm so sick! Lol!!!! Don't wish this on yourself friends! I seriously can't function at first in the morning :( If this keeps up, i may ask my ob about medicine. I was finally prescribed some at 13 weeks with ds but i never filled it because i thought it would end soon. This time, maybe i can get something at my appointment. It's just hard because i still have to take care of my 9mo... luckily dh has been a tremendous help. So grateful!
 
Ugh took my prenatal with breakfast and now feeling a little queasy, I think its the pill...
 
Swan, so glad your tour went well and you guys liked everything!
 
Congrats on your digi misspriss :) It's amazing to see isn't it x

Omg! The sleeping is horrible. The past few days I had been waking up at 4 am. Last night it was 3 and I couldn't get back to sleep until about 5.30 and of course LO got up at 6. It's making me soooo tired!!!
 
Hi everyone!
Well, my HCG tripled in 48 hours, but my progesterone only went from 7.2 to 8.2 ng/ml. At least it went up? It's now wait and see!
I don't have any symptoms, but I am only a little over 4 weeks.

Misspriss, I'm still breastfeeding DD as well -- my milk supply is already so much lower! :( At least if my milk dries up, colostrum will come in around 20 weeks and last until birth. I do look forward to tandem nursing!
 
Thanks everyone, I was pretty happy to see the digi, although I was hoping for 2-3 weeks...but I am taking the second one in 3 days I hope it goes up to 2-3 by then!

Feronia, if you haven't seen it, there is a breastfeeding while pregnant/tandem nursing sticky in the breastfeeding section. My supply has had a slight dip, although I don't think DS has noticed. I still pump at work, I was getting 9oz per day, now I am getting 7.5-7.75, but then I got 9 again yesterday. I'm super hungry, and I've been drinking tons of water, I heard over in the BF thread that it helps. DS is still heavily dependent on breastfeeding, he gets 50% or more of his nutrition from breastmilk, but he can eat solids and he is old enough now for other milks. If it starts to dwindle, I'll have plenty of freezer stash to cover the void between dwindling supply and new milk!
 
Thanks for the encouraging words yesterday about the spotting. I had some mid day and early afternoon yesterday then no more that night. I went home and laid down and drank lots of water. I had a teeny tiny bit this morning and so far no more. I'm praying it is finished. I didn't call the doctor because I am hoping I can make it to Tuesday when I have my first scan and appt. I really hope this is just a sign that my little one is snuggling in. I still have the same on and off Ver mild cramping and tugging on the right side but I have had this since day one. It just feels so 'active' in my abdomen all the time. Bubbly, gurgling, gassy. Yay. I will keep praying and trying to remain relaxed.

Thats a good sign. If 1/3 of girls have bleeding and its normal then its a good chance that your one of them. I guess thats 30 out of 90 women!

Im quite crampy today to the right. I think my uterus is having a good stretch.

You spend months wanting this then you keep getting to little hurdles. We should be enjoying the news not being scared of mc everyday. I wish my bf could do it for me lol xx
 
shakeitout, I'm definitely up to pee more too. at least once, and that's weird for me because I can usually make it through the night. if I don't get up during the night, i have to RUN to the bathroom in the morning. OH laughed at me cause I barged in while he was taking a shower this morning. I heard the running water.. oh man.

imphope- sounds like you're taking it easy and doing all you can do. I'm hoping for the best for you!

an update from yesterday- the bleeding is totally gone, just as quickly as it started. tmi, but it was quite a fair amount of DARK blood, went on my legs even, cause I didn't notice it (had a dress on), and that's why it scared me, it wasn't just a spot! after I got it cleaned up there was a tiiiny bit of brown blood that came and now nothing. no cramping either.
what would cause a "gush" like that? sounds gross, but that's how I can think of to describe it best. :shrug:

I'm hoping to get a scan at 8weeks at a little clinic near my home.
