Updated: February 2014 Buddies!

[hibiscus07]

Hi All!

I just found out 3 days ago I'm pregnant and due Feb 8, 2014. This will be #2 for me. I had 2 miscarriages prior to #1 so I'm of course nervous about getting too excited, but am trying to be as optimistic as possible.
I am definitely more symptomatic than I was with #1, and earlier, too. I'm already nauseated and bloated and my boobs are killing me!

It would be great to have a February buddies group! Anyone up to join??

Sorry, just posted by accident!

 

[Alexas Mommy]

I too am due in February- on the 12th though! Like you I am nervous about losing it, but am trying to be as optimistic as I can!! I have a 5 year old daughter and the idea that I will have 2 kids next year is settling in slowly!

Hi! I just found out I am pregnant... yesterday! My prospective due date is Feb. 8th but I just scheduled a dr.'s appt for June 13th. Anyone want to be buddies??

 

[hibiscus07]

Hi all! Yay I'm so excited for you both. We have due dates all within a few days of each other. Woohoo!
Any news so far? How are you both feeling??

I feel like crap right now, which is terrible for getting work done, but I'm trying to think of it as a positive sign!

I don't feel anything right now... yet! Only loss of appetite a week or two back but me and my husband just moved into a new house so I was kind of distracted and not sure if the loss of appetite had something to do with moving excitement or pregnancy. Do you remember feeling the same way with your first baby? How long did it take you to conceive?

I had some symptoms with the previous pregnancy with my son but everything was pretty mild/minor until 6+ weeks. This time I've been feeling crampy and nauseated for maybe the last week.

Regarding time TTC, I just went off the pill May 2!! I'm 35 years old so was worried it would take a long time to TTC so we didn't really "plan" on it happening so soon. I ovulated 16 days after my last pill and I guess it worked! I'd heard you're more fertile immediately after stopping birth control and I have no idea whether there's any scientific reason for that, but at least in my case it seems to have been true!

What's your TTC story?

 

[ttc2003]

Thats nuts! Your TTC story sounds very mirrored to mine. I stopped the pill on April 27 and ovulated May 18. I think we have the same due date right now lol. This will be my first child and I am 27.

 

[Alexas Mommy]

I am feeling great and positive about this pregnancy! My boobs are sore, I'm bloated and have to pee a lot, but really I have nothing to complain about! How are you feeling??

Wow I O'ed on the 18th, too! So funny.

Hello everyone I'm due 15th feb. Only found out yesterday, so I think I'm 4 weeks 2mor. Me and fiancé have been trying for a year altogether. Have got 2 gorgeous boys 9 an 6 yrs, and my daughter was stillborn after a perfectly normal pregnancy at 41 weeks. So I am extremely nervous.
Not many symptoms yet apart from loss of appetite and sore nipples. Has anyone had sharp pains low down in pelvic area that last about 2 seconds?

Look forward to talking with everyone on here.

Hi Victoria! Welcome
I'm so sorry to hear about your previous loss. I can understand your nervousness--getting past the first trimester will probably not ease your fears.

I have definitely had those lower pelvic pains! Like shooting into my vagina sometimes (sorry for TMI!) but also had them toward the side of my abdomen, almost like round ligament pain. I've had a number of types of pain haha. I guess this is all normal!

I just had my hCG drawn yesterday and found out it was 1682 at 4w4d! I'm happy it is high but now I'm worried it could be multiples, God, I hope not. It probably isn't. WHat are the chances? But I will say I had that thought before even the bloodwork since I've been so symptomatic and nauseated, headachey, achey, etc., so early compared to last pregnancy with DS. Guess we'll find out.

 

[hibiscus07]

Any news with anyone else?? How are we all feeling?

Still same here, maybe a bit worse. Ugh. 4w5d and feel like garbage. Scared about how I will feel at 6-7 weeks. I guess the high hCG level might explain it though, at least.

Hope you are all well!

Hi ladies can I join you? Due 9th Feb - I had a mc in Jan so also very nervous. Symptoms are much stronger this time round now so trying to take that as a good sign!
Will be getting a scan a 7 weeks - so hoping this little monkey sticks...

Of course! I'll change the first entry on the thread to indicate members and due date. Yay!

Symptoms being stronger this time is a good sign! Is your doctor going to check your hormone levels or are you just winging it?

Thank you! I'm in the UK and they don't really do bloods here unless anything is wrong... so I'm winging it and religiously POAS daily to check that the lines are getting darker!

 

[ttc2003]

Hmm.. so since I have no symptoms yet at 4w4d does that mean that it isn't right? Now you are making me nervous!

 

[baby1wanted]

ttc2003 not at all! Sorry for freaking you out!! Lots of women have no symptoms at this stage and have completely healthy pregnancies. I am just making a direct comparison between this pregnancy and the one I had in Jan that ended in mc. If I felt exactly the same I'd be worried that I would miscarry again, because I feel so different it makes me happier Here's hoping for sticky beans for all of us!

 

[hibiscus07]

Yes, ttc2003, don't worry! You're blessed not to have symptoms. As baby1wanted said, with previous history of MCs, we'll take any signs we can get!
With my DS, I didn't have more than minor symptoms until ~6+ weeks.
