tweak that is amazing that you had a good 11 week appointment. may have put your mind at ease!!!

time seems to be crawling by right now till our 11 week appointment which is on Oct 31. we previously had a m/c at 9 weeks, so am feeling a bit antsy but trying not to think of it too much!

hope all you ladies are having a good week

How's everyone doing?

I'm doing alright.... Soooo looking forward to first tri ending soon! I'm in another group on FB for ppl expecting in May though, and one of the ladies made a post for first time mom's about what to expect with birth. Needless to say, I am officially scared shitless. lol

 

[amanda1235]

Lol I'm also ready for first tri to be over. 12 weeks today! I have my NT scan Thursday. There's a thread somewhere about people funny/awkward birth stories. Some were freaking hilarious, but yeah, definitely a bit scary!

Ninja - I read all kinds of stories about birth/labor with my 1st. It wasn't nearly as bad as things I read!

amanda - good luck with your NT scan!



I'm doing well! Can hardly believe I'm almost 15 weeks. Most days I feel pretty good, except the tiredness. I feel more tired now than I did when I was in 1st tri. Between work and my super active 4 year old, I feel completely exhausted all the time.

Been using my doppler more and more since I've hit the don't feel pregnant stage. I can find this little one's heartbeat pretty quick now and can hear it super loud and strong. Love that amazing sound. Pretty sure I'm already feeling the early movements as well - lots of tickling popcorn feeling in my lower abdomen. Just can't wait for the movements to get stronger!

Hi, ladies! May I join you? I'll be 13wks tomorrow. PARL has been really anxiety-inducing - the only source of comfort has been the wonderful ladies on BnB. I do just have a good feeling about this one, and I'd love to follow along with your journeys as well

 

[amanda1235]

I hear you on the anxiety! I've had 5 scans, and they've all been great. Trying to relax now that week 12 is here, but it's not that easy! Lol I wish I could have a scan every few days!

 

[beccabonny]

I know, even though the doctor says any risk is now minimal, sometimes I just feel like I'm going crazy, or in a dream state and I will wake up and not be pregnant, or other kind of mental thoughts. I think things will be better when I can feel the baby!

 

[NinjaPanda]

I hear ya... I want to feel the baby already because the "not feeling pregnant stage" is starting to hit and I will be 12 weeks this week. I want to know everything is going well.

 

[amanda1235]

Oh how I'm dying to feel baby move!!

 

[beccabonny]

Ok, definitely in the not feeling pregnant stage now! Anyone felt any movements yet? How's everyone doing? Has anyone started a pregnancy journal yet?

 

[Tweak0605]

Most of the time I totally don't feel pregnant!! In the mornings mostly I can feel baby - feels like my lower abdomen is being tickled. It's so amazing. But other than that - nada. I barely felt movement this morning and had extreme back pain, so I whipped out my doppler and found the HB. I can't wait to feel those movements much stronger!

 

[beccabonny]

Sometimes I feel little flutters, but I just write it off as gas Sorry about your back pain! I'm glad you have the doppler to rely on. I've been going back and forth about getting one for like two months now. Anyway, only a matter of time until you will be feeling very strong movements!
