Symptoms don't seem as prominent as they did around the 4 week mark for me....which has me checking when I wipe. But just cm there...also feel cramps that totally feel like period cramps which makes me worry. Mostly I'm just tired and I'm nauseous in the morning before I eat, but no vomiting. Anyone have any intuitions as to what you're having? I've always said I wanted my first child to be a boy so my later children have a "big brother". I kinda feel like it might be a boy but I'd be super happy with a girl too. I had a very weird dream that the Dr. Had to take baby out at like 20 weeks and re insert it a few weeks later to grow. I wasn't allowed to see baby but I snuck in to see it and it was a girl haha. But I also think husbands/partners have a good intuition too and my husband flat out called the baby by its " boy" name without a thought the other day. Haha

I was very crampy around the 4 week mark. Only the last few days i have not had them. I get different aches now lol.
my boobs dont hurt which im suprised at as most peoples do.
I give it another week or two and ill feel sick lol

I'm with you all on checking for blood every time I pee. AND today is my AF due date, so I'm especially nervous, but so far so good. I just took my first "chalkboard" pregnancy pic and I'm gonna post them on FB at 12 weeks or so, when we get our first real ultrasound (after the initial 7 or 8 week heartbeat scan).

I told pretty much the whole world already, lol. I'm too excited. Hoping and praying that everything goes well, but I'm also prepared for whatever will come our way, and I knew that when I told most of my friends about the pregnancy so early on.

So I had light brown spotting Thursday, then none Friday, a little on Saturday and none so far today. Weird huh? Well I called the doc and the on call nurse was very sweet. She said not to worry and this is very normal. She said she get a lot of calls from people in the 6-8 week range because the baby is burrowing down and the blood from implantation has to go somewhere. It's brown because it's old. I have my appt on Tuesday and she said unless it's red blood and clots I have nothing to worry about. That was reassuring. Then she called back and said she looked up my chart and my Hcg numbers were really good a couple weeks ago when I was in and that everything looked great. How sweet is that. I'm just trying to rest and relax until Tuesday. I still have the occasional right side cramp. I just really hope there's a baby in my uterus on Tuesday.

Hi just wanted to say hi due with baby five on the 20th of February

 

[savvysaver]

I am also constantly checking for blood when I wipe, I don't turn the light on at night and last week I swore the paper was covered in blood...luckily it was just my sleepy eyes and there wasn't a drop of blood. I never had any implantation bleeding or any spotting.

 

[bridgetboo62]

My hubby knew our daughter was a girl from as soon as we got the BFP, I wasn't so sure, but I was secretly hoping for a girl, so I was thrilled. He thinks this one is another girl, my mum thinks boy. I don't mind what this one is, but I would like another girl.

why dont you want a boy since you already have a girl?

 

[bridgetboo62]

i havent had any spotting or implantation bleeding or anything
so i wouldnt find it to be normal if i started to bleed seeing as how im 7 weeks

Been so busy all weekend so trying to catch up!

Maisie what a miracle! I teared up reading your post; so beautiful. Praying that you are blessed with a healthy, event-free pregnancy for the rest of the months! Congratulations!

Welcome to all our new friends! Can't believe we already have due dates almost to the end of the month now! So exciting!

RE: stretch marks, I used oil and cream daily and still got them. My doctor said they're mainly hereditary but the oils and creams can help to lessen their effect on the skin and help encourage them to fade. I actually could feel them forming the day A dropped -- my skin began to itch and when I looked in the mirror, they had begun to spiderweb across my skin! So although my religious application didn't prevent them as I hoped, it definitely helped fade them and I'm going to use it all again this pregnancy.

Welcome Nicole, BabyMamaAgain, Mattsgirl, Katie, Lynnikins and I think that's everyone? haha. Congrats ladies!

MissPriss LOVE the idea! SO cute! The shirt is adorable. And you look great! I can't wait to start seeing bump pics! I think I'll take my first on July 1 if the ultrasound goes well.

I am coffee-obsessed but cut it altogether. I may allow decaf on occasion but I know my self-control sucks so I had to just go cold-turkey with it. I miss it, but am trying to just drink more water to distract myself. Easier said than done! I wish I had better self-control! LOL

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers EMYJC.

Bridget: I know it's not easy to NOT worry (coming from someone who's neurotic atm) but if you WERE to start spotting/bleeding (since I know you said you haven't yet), even at 7 weeks, it's not necessarily a bad sign. Blood/spotting is so common in the first trimester, even if it doesn't start quickly. I've had lots of friends have a little brown spring up in 7-9 when things really start shifting around and all was fine. But hopefully, you don't experience that at all and won't have to worry.

Think I'm finally caught up!

 

[MilosMommy7]

Maisie- that is great news! Glad everything is looking up for you

EMY- got my fingers crossed you get good news.

Megamegan- my mom tried saying something about me drinking an iced Capp the other day. I just ignore it. Caffeine is fine in moderation I'm going to just cut back to one cup every other day, and then hot chocolate on in-between days

Did a crap job trying to catch up. Lol. Been out of the house all day! Welcome to all the new ladies! :wave:
I'm with you all in checking for blood every time I wipe. Been that way with all my pregnancies, not even just first tri! Lol. I'm not really sure if I have a gut feeling about gender. The Chinese predictor chart has me as girl. It was right for my second and third, but wrong with my oldest. My mom says she hopes I have a girl. I've actually had some weird gut feeling about twins?! Then had two friends of mine (who both had twins) have dreams of me having twins. Then I dreamt of twin boys last night! I've never dreamt about twins with the other three. Guess we won't know until my scan
I bought my youngest son ( he turned 8 months this past Wednesday) a onsie that has an owl on it and it says "guess HOO is going to be a big brother". Can't wait for him to wear it

 

[misspriss]

Welcome everyone new! there are so many people on here it is so hard to keep up! I just wanted to share a picture of LO wearing his announcement shirt this morning!

DH didn't even notice it for like 5 minutes! Excuse the lovely bruise, he is earning his learning to walk and run bruises DH is excited, he's already called it to be a girl. I don't have any kind of feeling, but I knew from almost day 1 DS would be a boy so...

He also swears he new last night, he just didn't know he knew. We were cuddling and he reached around and put his hand on my belly like he knew, he says he just had a feeling...I told him I must have been projecting since I knew already or something.

Sorry I have to been able to properly introduce myself. Yesterday I was in a wedding. It has been a very busy weekend, but fun at the same time.

Hi everyone I am from Indiana and I will be 28 next month. My DH (who is 27) and I have a beautiful daughter Everlee, who will be 2 on July 20th. DH and I have been married for 3 years on July 2, but together for 9 years. We started TTC baby #2 in November. By January we were thrilled to find out we were expecting and due in Oct of 2014. Sadly what was a dream quickly became a nightmare when I MC at 10+5 weeks. We didn't give up and immediately started TTC again. 3 months later here we are again. This time very excited but extremely nervous! I will be making an appt tomorrow to go in and have betas tested. I will also have a early ultrasound at some point. We have told our parents one sister and two close friends. They have been our support and strength through all of this. We also plan to find out the gender.
I feel so blessed to be joining you ladies! I wish everyone H&H 9 months!
So far I have been feeling crampy, tired, and a little bit of round ligament pain. I also have a bunch of creamy CM tmi.

May i join y'all? Im due Feb 8th 2015

 

[confuzion]

Welcome and congrats shey

 

[ttc126]

I'm worrying a bit tonight ladies.... hoping for some reassurance.

I've had light pink spotting today I know it can be normal. I did spot with ds but it was later on and brown... I'm 7 weeks now.

I have had a few cramps as well, even though I have a feeling they're more gas related.

I'm praying!!!! First tri is so scary....

 

[confuzion]

I wouldn't worry unless it got heavier (with clots) and the cramps intensified. What you describe sounds more like cervical irritation (sex lately? cervix checks?) than bleeding from the uterus.

Couldn't agree with you more about first tri....

 

[ttc126]

Thanks confuzion.

I wish i could blame sex, but nothing has been up there since before my bfp

I will keep an eye on it. I have my scan in one week so if it doesn't get worse maybe I'll hold off calling the dr. I don't know why it feels so desperate when we spot. I mean if it is something bad, it's not like there is anything that can be done now....
