ja if you are going to get morning sickness they say it usually peaks around week 9. I wouldn't know since I am one of those unfortunate people that ends up with hyperemesis gravidarum and has the sickness throughout.

I had a weird dream last night that my DH accidentally posted my frer progression pics to my FB and I was so distraught. He couldn't figure out how to hide them or delete them so he started unfriending all my friends.

So far I'm just really emotional and I seem to have developed this need to get up at 4 am every morning to pee. At least I'm consistent. Well that and I'm still drinking chocolate milk by the gallon and eating pepperoncinis by the jar full. I just need spicy food!!

I am really anxious about my beta draw tomorrow. It feels like there is this little rain cloud over my head just waiting to start pouring down doom and gloom.

Last night around 4am I had really bad pain in my abdomen. It wasn't totally like the pulsing of cramps but like one long cramp. And a very heavy pressure on my cervix. I had the desire to push. I even Google to see if a Mc could be like labor. I've never experienced labor so I haven't a clue.
When I got up to check there was only a spot if blood on the pad but still a good amount when I wiped. Eventually it calmed down and I was able to get back to sleep.
When I got up for the day there wasn't any more blood on the pad but still a dull ache and pressure on the cervix. Almost like I have to pee all the time. My abdomen feels so heavy.
I left a message for my fertility doc to call me tomorrow. I just hate this limbo. I'm practically on bed rest cause any amount of walking makes me cramp.

Aayla I hope you get answers soon.

Hello and welcome to all the new mummas Congratulations!

Aayla I'm sorry to hear about the bleeding and cramping. I really hope everything is ok.

Today is the first day since finding out I was pregnant that I haven't tested! And I feel really uneasy. I just need to know that the line is still there! I didn't feel the need this morning because yesterday my FRER was as dark as they go - control line almost disappeared and I got 3+ on digi. But now I need to test!

Having a few symptoms that come and go - tiredness, sore breasts, sensitive nipples, waves of nausea, hunger. I want symptoms 24/7 so I know baby is growing lol

I wish 1st tri was easier!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Hi ladies! I'm due May 16th (although this baby will definitely be coming in April because of my Irritable Uterus). We'll be finding out the gender.

 

[busytulip]

Hi Spiffy :wave:

Looks like we'll be bump buddies again.

 

[ja14]

Today I've been having pain behind my left hip, on my lower back. I know that's normal for pregnancy, but it seems really early for that!
Has anyone experienced that this early on?

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Hi Ladies, may I join? First pregnancy, due May 16th (going off LMP). Confirmation appt with OB tomorrow morning for blood work to be taken. All the waiting and secrecy is killing me, I'm not good with lying and holding things back, I'm an open book usually, but hubby wants me to try and keep it a secret until we at least hear a heartbeat. I may have already spilled to 5 friends I trust

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Hi Spiffy :wave:

Looks like we'll be bump buddies again.

I know! I saw your ticker when you posted on my pregnancy test thread. Yay for bump buddies...round two!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

My bladder has me up at 4:30 as well, busy! haha: pregnancy dreams!) Good luck with the draw tomorrow!

Hope you get answers tomorrow, Aayla

Hey Spiffy, I think I saw you around the pregnancy boards when I was pregnant with DD :wave:

ja14 - I've had lower back pain both times now right away; I think it was worse with the first pregnancy. Warm baths became my obsession!

Welcome, Flossie_Aus! :wave:


I got a nap in AND my husband did the dishes while I was asleep. I could get used to being spoiled.

 

[ja14]

kitteh_kat- glad I'm not the only one then!

We told my husband's family tonight, and they were all very excited! I still probably won't tell my own family for a few more weeks, or at least until my appointment.
Right now my appointment is still Oct. 2nd, but I'll be calling tomorrow to check if they've had any cancelations!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

You're stronger than me! We told his parents the same day over Skype, and then my family when we stopped by a few days later (DD got to wear a "sister" onesie). We've also told most of our friends and hubby's co-workers... man, are we bad with secrets.

Glad they were excited! I hope you can a sooner appointment tomorrow as well, the wait sucks! Maybe if you keep bugging them, they'll finally squeeze you in

Did you get the townhouse?!

 

[ja14]

I'm hoping to get a sooner appointment as well, because I really want the confirmation everything is looking fine!

We signed the contract today, and our realtor gave our offer to the seller. She was supposed to answer before 9 pm tonight, but she is a nurse and worked a long shift today. We should have an answer before 10 am though!
We offered her asking price, we just asked that she pay closing cost. It's been on the market for 45+ days, because the previous perspective buyers had to back out last minute due to financial reasons. So, I feel confident that she will accept, because I'm sure she's ready to get it over with!

Hello to everyone who has recently joined. Happy and healthy 9 months to you all .

Sorry to misscassie and Aayla I hope everything subsides for you I hope everything works out.

The only noticeable symptoms so far are the sore boobs and now a slight feeling of nausea. Nothing really convincing me that I am pregnant at the moment. Terrible ms all the way through with my little boy so maybe this one's a girl? Can't have thursday come quick enough for the early scan. Only reason we're having this is because of my type 1 diabetes so have specialist and lots of scans now. No birth paln for me I would love a water birth but will be induced and bed ridden with 2 drips hooked up lol.. the glamour.

How is everyone feeling so far? X

 

[Butterfly2015]

Good morning all hi and welcome new ladies hope your well x
I made my midwife appointment this morning will see her on the 21st it's a bit earlier then they'd normally see me but I explained about my mc at 13 weeks and they said they'd get me in a little earlier thankfully but I'm feeling positive and hopeful which can only be a good thing for our little squishy what will be will be xx

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Beeka - I tested yesterday after breaking down with one of my dollar tests, it's so hard not to POAS anymore!

Good luck, ja! Hope you get the earlier appointment and the house

Mum - I'm not feeling really pregnant either right now, more like I've been hit by a truck. I didn't have MS with DD, so maybe! Can't wait to see your scan picture; hope the appointment goes well

Butterfly - yay for an earlier appointment! That's great that they're going to get you in sooner


4:15 wake up this morning. But 5 weeks today! I had a small wave of nausea hit me; really hope that's not the start of MS.

 

[mrsmax]

Hi ladies! :wave:

I am glad I'm not the only one with no strong symptoms at 6 weeks. I have had the odd achy boobs and wave or queasiness, but sometimes think I am imagining them as I want a sign my hormones are strong! Silly, as I had hyperemesis with my first so I should just be pleased not to have ms (yet!!)

I have my scan one week today!! EEkk!!

What happens at first appointments? In the UK they just take a bunch of notes and ask questions about health and relationships etc.

I am WFH today as I just cant concentrate on anything at the moment so "working" and trying to keep busy cleaning the house etc! How is everyone else passing the time? Tick tock, tick tock....

 

[pinkpassion]

Good morning ladies!!!!

4 weeks today!!! Officially late for af!! I have my second betas draw today, Thursday at 9dpo was 12! My tests have been darkening nicely so I can only assume they will be good! I'll get the results tomorrow!
I'm also feeling very calm and peaceful about this pregnancy. . I also go by what will be will be!!

I'm passing the time with home improvement projects and this week I'm supposed to drive 8 hours to my parents for the weekend to see them and my sisters. I'm not looking forward to driving so far.
Anyone still bf a child? I'm still bf dd, she's 15 months! Only once at night !
I had an emcs with general anesthesia with dd , my dr is very supportive of a vbac but we'll just have to see what happens! I'd love to attempt a vbac, but I don't mind a c-section as long as I'm not under general anesthesia again!!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Can't wait to see the early scans! I think I'm also imagining some symptoms just because I want to be "pregnant", mrsmax. (Here's hoping you can skip the MS!)

With DD I had an ultrasound, blood taken, and went over family history/expected weight gain/available tests/etc. at 8 weeks. I was able to self-refer to an OB though. This time I have to go through a regular doctor to get a referral, so I'm assuming it'll be basic information and bloodwork.

pink - congrats on 4 weeks! That's awesome that your doctor is supportive of a vbac Good luck with your second draw today! Sounds like several of us are having that done today.

I do some "lite" work from home (surveys for universities and research group, data processing, etc), so I'm trying to earn some money right now to splurge on baby stuff. Up to $8.40 so far this morning!

I started a cat baby quilt with DD and never finished it, so I've been thinking about pulling it out and working on it. I'm also going to sew a custom crib bedding set so I've been stalking ebay for some cheap fabric. Nobody wants to sell Pottery Barn Star Wars sheets for less than $25.

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. Aayla I hope things start looking up for you.

Afm, om having an ultrasound TODAY. I called and told the fertility clinic about my red bleeding Saturday night. I'm keeping my hopes up that everything looks good and right on track. According to LMP I'm 6+2, but according to when I ovulated, I'm 5+4/5. So I'm looking for a gestational sac and yolk sac, but not necessarily a fetal pole and probably not a heartbeat yet.
