[Rockinmomtobe]

Can i join? I found out i was pregnant on tuesday of this week... It was a complete and total surprise! I already have a LO who is 16 months. We originally wanted to wait until July to get pregnant, but woops! it happened a little earlier than we had anticipated.

Welcome and Congratulations!!! So excited youre here. Whens your EDD?

I am feeling great today except some severe hunger, fatigue and bloating... But it's FRIDAY!! I am excited for the weekend and I am so happy I am pregnant!!! This is definitely the coolest thing I have ever done! I love being pregnant and I can't wait for our 1st scan... 2 weeks and 3 days left!

You are my new positive inspiration! Im having such a hard time coping with feeling awful I forget to feel excited, instead I just feel overwhelmed, but now, instead, Im going to think.....Wantb would be excited instead of scared.....BE EXCITED TO BE PREGNANT!!! Thank you for this, I needed it this morning with my head over the toilet

Hey ladies can I join? I was part of another nov thread but I don't feel like I have anything in common with everyone as they are all in the UK and most already have kids.

We are expecting twins, official due date is Nov 10 but I have been assured that they will be here early

Welcome! It seems like we have a good mix of new and second time mommas here! Also it seems as though a lot of us are from North America.

I hope everyone's holiday weekend is going well. I am not religious but I love getting together with my family. I definitely treasure this time and I treasure my mom's cooking! I can't believe next year we will have an addition... i Can't wait to hold that precious gift!

What is or what did everyone do this weekend?

Hi Luna! Nice to have you here...I am from Calgary! Congrats on your Twins! Do you have other children? i have one daughter but she is almost 5 so we are pretty much starting over...I am due November 8 so we are close however you will be early! so excited for you...any symptoms?? I am nauseaous 24/7 but I find that Tim Hortons Honey Lemon Tea really helps!!

 

[luna_19]

Thanks for the welcome ladies

This is our first (and second ). I've been feeling pretty nauseous since about 6 weeks but only puked a few times. Also sleeping 10 or more hours each day. Mmm tea sounds good, I haven't had tea in ages since all the ones I have have caffeine or questionable herbal ingredients.

Hi! I'm due November 20, 2013! This will be my third baby. It was quite a shock to get a bfp at this time. But what the heck! We'll roll with it! I'm extremely nauseous and very sore boobies. Been having some brown spotting for a week now. I'm going for an u/s on Tuesday to make sure everything is still ok. I pray that it is. So wonderful to meet ya'll.

I havent gone to the dr yet, but based off my calculations I'm due November 13.

I haven't really had any symptoms, which is so strange. Last time I was always nauseous! Ok I guess I am pretty tired, but that's not a big deal to me since I was always tired before getting pregnant.

Today I've felt so emotional, just angry at everything.

My main problem is staying relaxed... I'm a full time teacher and I'm also currently in a masters program. I just started it this month so I'm kind of freaking out a little!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Welcome to Luz & Luna!! Great to have you guys! Weekend was wonderful. I have today off as well which I'm grateful for. I'm spending the day relaxing lol. I'm still tired a lot but FX my nausea seems to have lessened which I'm trying not to freak out about.
I'm not religious either but it's do great to be able to spend to e with family and think there will be another little person this time next year!

Happy Easter everyone! Had a great weekend with my family and they brought us gifts for the baby ! I can't wait until we are 12 weeks so we can tell everyone! My 10 weeks appointment is April 9th so hope this week flies by!!!!

 

[Storked]

Had my first appointment today- they had to take my blood pressure twice. It was super high at first due to my terror of OB offices. But my baby is measuring a day ahead and we have a heartbeat which is so much more than we had last time. I really hope this baby sticks.

 

[wantb502]

Hey everyone! Hope all of you are doing well and not having too many awful symptoms!

I am still doing pretty well, no vomiting but still getting nauseous throughout the day. I eat consistently so I think that helps. I have my US in two weeks! Also, I had been reading forums on baby center and other 1st trimester boards and realize they make me so nervous! I have decided to get rid of my babycenter app because it was causing me anxiety. I know things can go wrong, but I'm tired of thinking everything little thing could be a problem. I just need to chill and enjoy this miracle!

How do you guys stay relaxed and not constantly worry?!?

 

[luna_19]

I already had an u/s which helps. I also have not gone in any first tri areas at all because I know everyone there is just freaking out about everything.

 

[missjenn]

I have gone through them and yes....scary! I wish I could stay away from google!!!

I will feel much better next Tuesday when I have my first actual scheduled "baby" appointment. They do a pap test and breast exam....I told my friend that and she has two kids and never had that done during either pregnancy.

I really wish I was getting a scan done that day but probably not...I just hope they dont make me wait longer than 12 weeks!

My nausea...the little that i had...is pretty well gone. 9 weeks tomorrow and still do not feel pregnant!!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Hi ladies,

The first tri boards are scary. My fears are still there, but after my first US to confirm the pregnancy I felt soooo much better.I still worry a little bit when I have a non-nausea day, but, Im really trying to stay positive and focus on other things. My sister didnt have an US until 18 weeks....THAT WOULD HAVE MADE ME CRAZY!!! Ill have 3 before then, my second is the 9th (like missjenn's).
Im lucky with my insurance, everything is covered (practically unheard of in the States) and Ill have an US at every appt, which makes me veeeeery happy

I feel like my symptoms are less than they were before, but, I could just be getting used to them too. Im not sure which it is.

Also, an unpdate on the Belly band!!! LOOOOOVE IT!!! It makes my pants soooo much more comfy AND holds them up. Best pregnancy purchase to date.

Speaking of purchases, what are you guys buying right now if anything? I keep telling OH we should buy a package of diapers a week, lol What do you think?

Sorry, forgot to check the previous page.....THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! Im so excited for you

 

[luna_19]

We're not buying anything until at least after my next u/s on May 2

 

[missjenn]

Ah, same day appointments!!! I just wish I was getting a scan like you!!!

Im in New Brunswick Canada...where are you located Jen?

My parents have already given us a change table....a combo bassinet/playpen/change table...a ton of outfits....baby monitors...diapers...a baby carrier....a diaper bag....bottles...they have been a huge help!! The zellers stores here closed down and they had everything 75%-90% off!

Wow! Sounds like you are already set! I haven't really bought anything. I did get three pregnancy books and made little cousin onesies (my SIL is due 1 month before me) I am thinking about purchasing some fabric to decorate the nursery and get some wall paint, but nothing else until I'm much further along. I have a fabric addiction so I can't really stop myself

Sorry it loaded upside down! One is the states of kentucky and one is Tennessee! With hearts on our cities with a line to the other city.

I was pretty bored today and started thinking too much, so I found an u/s place and went and had a pregnancy verification done. The good news is I'm definitely pregnant, the bad news is that since my cycles are pretty irregular and long, it looks like I'm only about 5 weeks instead of 8.

We couldn't see the baby- since they only do abdominal ultrasounds all we could see was the sac. When I go to the dr next week for my appointment I'm going to tell them about it and see if they'll let me have an early ultrasound to date and see how far along I really am. I'm hoping they'll say yes!
