First time mom due March...any buddies??

[DaTucker]

I know I'm going to need female support, I'm sooo nervous! !

 

[kmr1763]

Is it okay if I join, even though this will be my second child? I suffered a loss in May so I am nervous too, for different reasons, I'm sure! And I KNOW that I know your name from somewhere.

 

[DaTucker]

Of course!! Well I've been on here for a long time lol. I think we were on a ttc thread together?? I'm sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine!

 

[DaTucker]

Of course!! Well I've been on here for a long time lol. I think we were on a ttc thread together?? I'm sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine!

 

[DaTucker]

Whoops, sorry, phone is odd.

 

[pinkerbelle]

I am due early March with my first.

Will be happy to buddy up.

 

[DaTucker]

Ok, this will be so much fun! Omg I'm so excited, we've been trying for over three years!

 

[kmr1763]

I imagine it must have been, I'm just trying to recall which one! Lol but yeah it's been a long haul!! Three years for you, but here you are now! I'm only four weeks pregnant tomorrow! Missed period on Friday. Blood test confirmation today. Whoop! What about you ladies? First appointments scheduled yet?

 

[DaTucker]

My first appointment is Friday, based on my calendar, tomorrow I should be exactly 5 weeks. It's amazing how fast these doctors get us rolling lol

 

[kmr1763]

Yeah right! Lol mine are quick to do the blood test, but I will be eight weeks before I get seen! Yeah I was looking at your ticker, you're a week ahead. I'm not basing my edd on lmp, but on ovulation day! On last menstrual period I would probably be co spidered further along with a sooner due date.

 

[DaTucker]

I'm getting hit with fatigue today, didn't realize it happens so soon but apparently it does. This is going to be a long work day! Have either of you ladies gotten any obvious symptoms yet? Ive been cramping real bad and now this.

 

[DaTucker]

Oh, and I did think it odd all the calculators wanted lmp, but I stopped all my charting bc dh and aren't supposes to be able to have children naturally, only with ivf. So I have only a vague idea of when I ovulated, bc we only dtd once around my normal ovulation time.

 

[kmr1763]

I haven't really had any symptoms... Except peeing? I didn't have to get up to pee during the night until recently, but maybe that's just because I've been drinking more since I got bfp. So big shrug. And maybe bbs. They are sore. This happened with my miscarriage too so I don't know if it's pregnancy related or Clomid related. I can already feel those stretchy uterus pains if I move the wrong way or get up too quickly. It didn't happen this early with DS but I guess my uterus is all stretched out lol from him.

I see you are from Texas! We are neighbors. Where from there?

 

[DaTucker]

Sore bbs are supposed to be a huge symptom, mine have been super sore so I'd chalk it to the pregnancy if I was you!

I moved to the Beaumont area last year, it's about 1 1/2 hours east of Houston. Where are you from??

 

[kmr1763]

Lol okay, sore bbs are pregnant bbs, whoop whoop! I did NOT get up to pee last night in the wee hours, thank goodness. But I am up plenty early!

Beaumont is actually pretty close to us, maybe an hour and a half? My in-laws go there quite a bit, they have family out there! I live in Leesville, about a half hour from the Texas border near Jasper. My hubby and I just moved back after he retired from the marine corps in December!

 

[DaTucker]

Whoooaaaa waait! I'm actually in Silsbee right now and we're possibly moving to Jasper in the next month!! My husband is trying to get the store manager position at Wal-Mart there!

This is so cool!

 

[kmr1763]

Lol stinking awesome! What a small world! Yesss Jasper is very close! I remember going there in HS to take my ACT, lol random memory. Now I'm going to map it and see how far it is.. Okay okay Beaumont from my house is about two hours. Jasper from my house is an hour. Lol funny. Ugh I went to Houston a few months ago with my MIL to see George Strait. I remember driving through Beaumont with a death grip on my steering wheel. Course that doesn't compare to how I felt trying to get to the Astrodome.

 

[DaTucker]

I know what you mean, my doctor is in Houston so I have to make that drive all the time! It terrifies me!!

 

[kmr1763]

So I am feeling extremely lazy today. Having to convince myself to take care of the household chores lol. I went by to schedule my first appointment and forgot all about the furlough, the clinic was closed! So now I will wait for Monday to make it. In the meantime I'm tempted to buy more tests.

 

[DaTucker]

Buuuy more!! And you are feeling the tiredness lol.

My appointment went great, I am 5w1d like I thought, they do count from lmp! We got to see Baby Tucker!! He's in my profile picture, I was sooo happy! Hoping to have my bloodwork by Monday, they put a STAT on it so I was expecting it today, but so far no call.
