Hello ladies! My name is Kayla and I am due on 8-14. My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years now and with the help of clomid, we were finally able to get a bfp in July this year but had a mc late August. Again with clomid, we got another bfp last week. We have another dr appointment on Monday for more lab work and a ultrasound scheduled on the 23rd.
 
Welcome Kayla! Congrats on your bfp! My babies are from clomid use too :)
 
Ash, :hugs: for the money problems

:hugs: to all those in pain or feeling sicky

Lovely bumps everyone! <3

HOnestly given a choice i would just wear those mesh ones they give u at the hospital...they gave me those after my surgery last yr and it almost felt like i wasnt wearing anything at all...no pressure on belly at all

You can buy those at Amazon, here: https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-1050...able/Reusable+Stretch+Mesh+Underwear+(6-Pack)

I loved the ones the hospital gave me after my lap surgery, they were so comfy, and my poor belly needed tlc after that surgery.
 
I know it is early. I know I am worrying. I don't want to post in the Due in August thread because I feel like I know you guys so much better and get loads of support here but.... I don't feel anything. I thought for sure I'd be hit with every symptom in the book, but no. Not extra tired. Not sick. No food cravings or aversions. Libido is thru the roof (my normal). I will be six weeks tomorrow. Could you ladies send me some reassuring words for your 'little sister' (I kinda feel like that since we're all at different stages, and each new bfp becomes the next littlest sister, ya know?)? I'm sory I keep posting the same scared complaint; I'm just.... Well, scared.
 
I know how hard it is to not worry especially when there's nothing else to do but wait, particularly in that first trimester. Heck, I'm going into my 3rd trimester in a few days and I still worry but only this time it's about pains and movements or lack thereof lol.

Just remember there are so many women who experience pretty symptom-less pregnancies. Some experience every symptom under the sun at varying degrees. We all generally go on to have a normal pregnancy. 8 weeks is when symptoms generally kick into high gear. It's been awhile and I didn't keep a pregnancy journal but I vaguely remember feeling pretty normal in the first several weeks after finding out until I was hit full-force with my symptoms around 8 weeks. I remember begging for just a hint of nausea to reassure me that things were progressing properly and then when it DID hit, I regretted wishing for it lol. I'm pretty sure I made several posts on here about just wanting a little queasiness to reassure me. And then one day, it all hit me and I'm sure you'll be the same way :)

You may feel symptom-less but you haven't started bleeding or cramping which means bean is likely growing normally and all is well :) I promise you... in just a couple of weeks you'll be like the rest of us, complaining about the symptoms that first and second trimester can bring ;)
 
Mirolee- Give it a few more days... at your stage I felt NOTHING as well. It was mid week 6 I felt it. And then you will feel like you wish you didn't feel anything. Enjoy your stage! No blood = fine :)

AFM, got the flu and feel like SH!T! Ill post a pic soon... when I feel good enough to look good enough to take a picture (aka after flu leaves me). However attached is one from like 2 weeks ago.

Congrats on the bfp Kayla!

Mirolee- I didn't really feel anything until I hit 6 weeks. Then the nausea was miserable and it only got worse once I hit 9 weeks. I thought that maybe it was gone but woke up and threw up this morning so I guess not. I know you're worried right now, but enjoy your non pukey days while you can hun. If you aren't cramping or bleeding I wouldn't worry too much. I know easier said than done, but stressing doesn't help you or your peanut :hugs:

Look at that bump Nikki! She'll be here so soon!

Happy swing day to many of you ladies!
 
Do you ladies think I should call the doc on call about my flu, or just wait until Monday?
 
Oh Nikki- that stinks! I don't know if they'll do anything but I'd call the OB just to be safe for sure!

Mirolee-I know it's so hard, but try not to worry, and if you're really worried called the OB and ask for a simple beta to hold ya over until the scan. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to check it for you and comforting to hear a nice big number! :) I didn't have symptoms until 7-8weeks aside from some fatigue and a little boobie pain. Hugs!

Just got home from a girls weekend in VT (was supposed to be the friend who's fiancé left bachelorette). It was sad, and happy, and fun, and tiring!! :) couchin' it up for the rest of the day! :)
 
Kara! So crazy that you're over half way!! Feels like yesterday that you and Morgan got your BFPs...can't wait till I'm at half way and know what my little one is

It really goes by SO fast! I can't even believe it myself! I'm sure with the holiday coming and New Years it will really pik up now too, you'll be at that gander scan in no time!! :)

If you're able to keep fluids down, I would say to just wait it out. If you're running a fever, I'd just keep an eye on it and if it gets too high, then I'd call in case they want to bring you in for monitoring or something. Feel better :)
 
Happy 22 weeks Rachel!!!

Happy 21 weeks Kara!!!

Happy 20 weeks Morgan!!! Half way there!!!

Happy 13 weeks Ash!!!

Happy 12 weeks Britt!!!!
 
Thanks Cass! And I ttly agree girls, I've been so busy with work and being so exhausted that time has just flown by!! I CANNOT believe I'm half way! Viability day is a month away.. Can't wait for that! I have been feeling movement daily now and I looove it, although it's nowhere near what I felt with Jaxon due to the dang anterior placenta.

I have definitely been eating for "two" lately, the holiday season not only makes time fly but has given me an excuse to makes roasts & cookies in excess, haha we've been eating so good lately.

Mirolee, like you I went and bought everything peppermint/chocolate and holiday themed! I got hot cocoa with peppermint sticks, peanut brittle, clementines, and Ferrero Rocher's (my favorite holiday treat!) to name a few!! I am sort of dreading my appt and weigh-in next Thursday, right about now is when I really packed on the pounds last time. I went from 107 to 155 (lost it all too, thank god) but would like to gain less this time around. So after the holidays my New Years resolution will be to eat only good stuff and continue to get closer to God! I've substituted my usual crap food for cheese sticks/cottage chz, Greek yogurt, veggies and dip, tuna etc. But have been indulging in holiday junk since a bit before Thanksgiving lol. Need to whip out my prenatal fitness DVDs again too.

I'm loving the snow and season right now though. Just got the tree up and got Jaxon's lil ornament today. Has his name on one side and "My 1st Christmas in Heaven" on the other.. So pretty, I love it. Also bought solar lights, bulbs, and a garland for the tree we're taking out to him today. I spent hours at Target (WAVES I ttly thought of you when I saw the mess ppl were making everywhere haha!) looking for Christmas stuff and even printed my registry to look at baby stuff, so much fun!!

Now to make some food, of course lol, and finish the tree. Lazy couch and football day here.. Froze my butt off this morning buying Christmas junk in my church heels lol, I'm pooped. Have a wonderful rest of the day girls!
 
Thank you gals. The logical side of me says calm the hell down, but the emo side is all a-sunder. Ive had a killer backache all day so I'll pretend like that is my sign for the day. how 'bout I just enjoy myself for a moment?! Hehe.
 
Sorry you've got the flu, Nikki! Hope you feel better soon! :hugs:

You look lovely in the bump pic!:flower:
