Hi there mommies to be! I just wanted to share a new find of mine. B&B won't let me post the link but if you google "visible embryo" and click on pregnancy timeline, then your week, you get awesome pics of your baby's development. I'm in no way affiliated with the site, I'm just really, really enjoying it and wanted to share!

Hi UptonGirl! I've only told my hubby and best friend (who is also expecting) I'm saving the news for the parents until Christmas (if I can wait that long) That will be the end of my 1st trimester.
I'm also using a midwife, things are a little different here in Canada though. The midwifery clinic has a group information session next monday, then you don't meet with your midwife until 12 weeks! I'm thinking I may see my family doctor before then just to make sure all is going well. 12 weeks seems like a long time to wait for a first visit.
I'm looking forward to sharing all the stories with you! congratulations on your little one!

Hi all...Congrads on your preggers'!! I'm also due during the first week of July (by my own calculations). It's kinda hard to believe that I'm pregnant...as I don't have many symptoms yet. I've taken like 3 preg tests to confirm (as well as the doctors confirmation test).
Uptongirl...WOW!! On your wedding night!!! Congrads!!LOL! I'm so glad that you have a partner to support/share this experience. You must be so excited! Oh, and that's too bad about the morning sickness already...;( I totally get the obsessed thing' I can't stop reading about being pregnant or looking online...and if I'm not doing that I'm thinking about the future with my baby!! I'm obsessed too...LOL!
CHERLY> Congrads!! Glad to hear that your due in the same month! So you must also be around 4 or 5 wks also? Were you tying to conceive? Are you with the father currently? I'm not so I was hoping to meet some single moms on here...but I hope that you are?!
ZOEMUM> Thanks for the info...I've looked up the site and now love it..it's amazing!! Congrads on your pregnancy also. I am waiting to tell the family too...except my sister-she's the one that knows! I think I will tell them at Christmas as well...I can't hide the fact that I'm not drinking from them over the holidays and hopefully the father will know if he wants to be a part of this by then.
Ok, so as for the symptoms....
1.I HAVE TO PEE ALL THE TIME.... It's seriously not even funny...I get up usually 3 time during the night...and the most annoying thing is that I don't even pee out alot when I go...has my bladder shrunk or something?
2.POSITIVE PREG TEST...well 3 positives...I even kept the last one so I can have proof....TWO LINES = BABY
3.TIRED....I sleep a lot but I work bothe days and nights at the hospital so I'm always tired from switching shifts?!
4.NO PERIOD--YEAH!!! Now this is a symptom that I can get use too...Am I right ladies??LOL!
5.I believe I have had morning sickness a few times---but it was in the evening...if that even works? I felt awful---dizzy and light headed....like I could throw up at any min.
But that's it....I am looking forward to the first doc visit...not sure if they will do an ultrasound then or not but I hope so...then I will believe it.!LOL!
How about you guys? Which symptoms do you have?
Smiles,
mel

Hi again all, I'm glad to see so many July Mommies in here already!
1sttimemom, nice to meet you! Us ladies are all here for each other. I think my hubby is still in shock so it's nice to talk to the mommies in here who are as excited as I am.
As far as my symptoms so far, breast tenderness (especially when the bra come off at the end of the day... OUCH!), mild cramping on and off throughout the day, bloating and gassy constantly
Fatigue combined with insomnia for the last 3 nights. I keep waking up at 12:30, 3:00am, then by 5:30 I just get up because I am so frustrated, then I'm exhausted all day 
At least I haven't had any nausea yet (thank goodness).

Hi
I am due 10th July 08 (by own calculations) I only found out 2 days ago when I done a HPT still have to have it confirmed by doctor so I can get an appointment with Midwife and book 1st scan. But been told I need to wait until I am 6 weeks
I have 3 lovely healthy boys but have also had a missed miscarriage (5 yrs ago this month) and I went into premature labour with our last pregnancy at 29 weeks but he was born at 38 weeks thankfully. So I am really worried same thing is going to happen this time round.
As far as sympoms goes the nausea started this morning, missed AF, have tender breasts, headaches, and slight stomach cramping, tiredness, lower backache, running to toilet every 5 mins lol, and all of a sudden have liking to bananas (its too early for cravings isn't it? correct me if I am wrong). All these symptoms I never experienced with other 3 pregnancies except the Nausea and Sickness and missed AF (not that I missed it of course lol).
Its nice to know there are other Mommys-to-Be that are due the same month to talk to. Everyone I know has either not got kids, not pregnant, or just had a baby.

Urrgh- I can totally relate to the not sleeping thing, it's making me crazy! I asked my doctor about it yesterday and she said it was normal and caused by the hormones going nutty. I had heartburn for the first time last night and I'm really hoping that it isn't a sign of things to come, I've never dealt with heartburn before, it sucks!
