I got my beta results back at 5w3d they were 6794! Yay I'm so happy. All my other test looked normal also. How are you ladies today?

I showed sooner with my second pregnancy....your body knows the routine haha
This is my third pregnancy (well fourth if you count my m/c), and I'm not "showing" yet, but I'm sure it won't be long!

Did you have to request blood tests to get your beta levels? I haven't even been offered that yet. My first appointment isn't until Jan 24.

Luckily my good friend is a nurse there so she is awesome about getting me in. My friend sees a different Dr. And she didn't have anything done until 8 weeks.

I'd love to join if that is ok? I am due on the 6th September.

Congratulations to all, here wishing you all a H & H 9 months x

to the salt cravings- me too

this is my 2nd pregnancy and i weigh a stone (14lbs) less at the start of this pregnancy than at my last, when do u start to get a belly? im not meaning so the world can tel but when should it start pushing out? iv heard 2nd+ pregnancies show sooner??? last time i felt tightening waist line at 10weeks but didnt show till nearly 6mths. rly hope since my stomach is quite flat/toned this time round ill go nice n round soon!

any one feeling rounder? n how many weeks/days r u ?

im only 5wks2days based on O date and its the bloat that gets me... I weigh 122lbs steadily every single day for the past 5 years, and suddenly I'm up to 125 already and in the night times I can't even suck in to get back to my normal pre-pregnancy normal... the amount of water i can put back now is astonishing too... i used to just never be thirsty, now i'm like a walking swimming pool

im 5+3 n exactly the same but didnt want to admit it! lol im 125lbs every day but scared to step on scales already, after lunch i have to open my jean button, it doesnt look any dif but feels hard like iv eaten a large meal. i cant stop drinking so i know its water but curious what others are going threw.? and its getting me excited for when it is baby/ not water, weird how its only bloating on tummy tho!

 

[smonty27]

so they went over my test results and everything looks great and my rh is positive so i'm relief a little bit

just keep growing baby feb 27th can't come soon enough! lol

 

[lynnikins]

I showed sooner with number 2 by about 3 wks. Watch your salt intake ladies its not great for the bloating.

Sadly nausea and morning sickness can happen anytime most ppl find its worse on an empty stomach keeping plain crackers by your bed and morning eating before living can help also peppermint and ginger are both good

i agree with you guys they haven't asked me for anything and when i ask to even get in they say no we aren't going to see you until 12 almost 13 weeks so i guess i just have to wait.

monty i see you are in Fort Bragg, I'm in raleigh, must be a NC thing then because everywhere else ppl seem like they aren't having any problems getting OBs to cater to their psycho preggie worries (this is NOT intended as an insult, as i've got them too!)

oh well glad that its not just here then. you would think that they would be a little bit nicer espically if this is your first one but hey just gotta keep praying and hoping that this little bean stays stuck

 

[lynnikins]

In the UK u get a "booking" app with a doc or mw they might do a urine dip and bp bit otherwise just talk and give u a date and book a 12wk scan where u get your notes and a blood test and if u pay some Pics from the scan. Then nothing for at least a month unless you have a problem and the more kids u have the less they want to see u

 

[OperationBbyO]

I'm still having all this stuff done to me only because I have a hormonal imbalance that causes early loss. My specialist watches me like a hawk. I find that when things come back normal it gives me relief for about a day and then I start dreading the next set of blood work. Like, I am already freaking out about my betas on Thursday.

Kaili--I think I have a girl crush on you. You crack me up! Between my water intake and my licking of actual salt water I guess I'm more like the Salt Lake in Salt Lake City than a swimming pool but I know exactly how you feel.

HAHA!

you never know, maybe you'll see me in your dreams tonight!!

LOL no but seriously, maybe I'm the only one, but I keep having these ridiculous sex dreams for the past couple days (trust me, this is a new development for me)... is it pregnancy related? i won't elaborate but i've questioned my own heterosexuality since they started happening HAHA... anyone else? no? im a freak? prob so.

oh trust me you're not alone! I've run the gambit of different types of dreams. I was even a guy in one of them!

 

[Melissa_M]

Oh ya, vivid dreams are definitely preggo related... I've been having them too! I don't mind

For my first pregnancy I didn't get an u/s till 20 weeks! and my doctors Doppler was broken so I had to go buy my own just to make sure there was actually a baby in there before we told people!

i mean, we're talking girls, robots, aliens... you can not possibly get weirder than the crap that my mind is producing while i'm asleep since my hCG levels have begun rising (pretty sure I just killed that girl crush you had on me operationbbyO LOL)... must be because ive been afraid to let DH touch me since before christmas in fear of destroying our little pumpkin head!

 

[OperationBbyO]

hahaha I won't let DH touch me either but he keeps panting after my very pregnant boobs.

I've totally had those kinds of dreams, right up to the very (happy) ending (ok that probably makes me the weirdo). But the happy ending went straight into a couple of hard cramps/contractions and I totally freaked out (then I vomited b/c it hurt so bad).

I hope to avoid those dreams in the future and no happy endings with DH either, I don't want any more cramping like that. It only lasted about 30 seconds but holy smokes! Talk about pain.
