Welcome
baby_bray!
I'm expecting my first too. It's just SO exciting! I hope you get to learn your gender on your 16th wk u/s! I have to wait until week 20
Seems like forever to wait!!!
I seem to have popped a lot earlier than most girls here. I'm not thin but I'm very athletic and my pants started to be tight around week 12. I switched to some of my old, 'bigger' bottoms and that only got me through the end of week 12! I've been in maternity jeans since
Luckily, I haven't grown much since as I was worried I'd have some massive belly! So I seem to be in the same boat as
skeet9924 I just finally hit my prepregnancy weight 2 weeks ago and stuff was already tight!!!
Hi
Kelly!
The other thread is pretty quiet. And usually the only folks to post are here anyways! So might as well just stay here
Hi
littlesteph! Welcome
How crazy is that with the same due date! Your poor parents. Are you at least in the same area so you'll be in the same or nearby hospital?
AFM, still haven't felt any movement. But then again, the first few ultrasounds I had, only in one of them the bub wasn't sleeping! So I'm not carrying an active baby - my DH is a sleepy head too
Felt fine over the weekend - other than the (TMI) constipation, I'm doing well. I've switched myself to an all liquid based diet…cereal with extra milk, soups, stews, etc. and hope it will help move things along. FX! I am on the fence about getting a doppler. I definitely decided not to get one while on this trip out of the country for 3 weeks as if I couldn't find the heartbeat, I would freak out and I'd have to go to a hospital here. I might get one and try it when I'm back near my doc so I can go in if I freak out.
I don't feel pregnant at all but I keep telling myself "No cramps, no blood = baby is good" and it keeps me mostly sane. This trimester is hard! I'm trying to enjoy the 'freedom' of no symptoms and the lack of baby weight to keep me down but it's hard not to feel pregnant and stay calm that the baby is ok. I hope I can start feeling movement soon...
