when the "30 yo ttc#1" ladies get their bfp's

As long as it's pasteurized, feta is fine. And you'll have to look pretty hard to find unpasteurized feta in the US! I was naughty and bought a big salami. I know it's on the "OMG, listeria!" list, but it's one of maybe 2 meat products I can stomach right now (the other is bacon), and I really need at least a little meat in my diet.

My first appointment is on Tuesday. So far away!!! No idea if I'm getting a scan...
 
By the way, I found this site very reassuring. This is all just averages, so I don't know how prior miscarriages would impact it, unfortunately. https://spacefem.com/pregnant/mc.php?m=05&d=28&y=14
 
Ah, yours is Tuesday, maybe ladders is Friday?! LOL I'm getting it all mixed up! (watch nobody's be on Friday, that I just made it up in my head!)

Thanks for that website. It makes me feel so good looking at it! Puts everything a bit at ease. I'm so glad you found that! That is awesome.

My DH is forbidding me to google things anymore. I am going to have to agree with him. Otherwise I will just go crazy! :)

Thanks MrsK! You are AWESOME!
 
Haha, no problem! Happy to help put your mind at ease a little. I found that site here somewhere, long before I was pregnant, and I look at it at least once a week now ;) I'm pretty good at googling symptoms and only finding the good answers, so if you have any questions let me know! Or get yourself a good, reputable, not fear mongering pregnancy guide for looking up symptoms. A lot of moms I know don't like the What to Expect books, but the Mayo Clinic guide seems universally liked.
 
No my scan is Monday the 28th and is my first and I'm so excited and so bloody scared at the same time! In the UK you don't get a scan until 12 weeks unless having bleeding, I did debate getting an early private scan but then I read on here about so many ladies having an early scan seeing a heartbeat then still find had mmc at 12 week scan, I realised that as I'm the biggest worrier ever that even if I got good news at the early scan I'd still stress and not be completely reassured till the 12 week scan so decided for me it wasn't worth the money.
Man I just am counting down the hours until Monday! at least it's at half eight in the morning so not waiting and worrying all day!
 
Ladders, I can't wait til you find out everything is going as it should be! :) I got my appointment at 8:30 am as well! I'd be so anxious all day otherwise! :) GL!

I have the What to Expect book. I bought it at a goodwill store for $1. I might see if I can't get another book from the library to read. Why don't the ladies like the What to expect books?

A lot of them thought they were scary, overreacting to every symptom, and so on. I honestly don't see it myself. I have the most recent version, and it seems ok. Maybe older editions are worse?
 
I have to say, I really haven't worried about anything pregnancy related...I had so much trouble with the anxiety/depression, that was my main focus. It may also be that working in healthcare and in a hospital, I know that there will always help if something happens. I think we all find something that we focus on though...for me, it was the anxiety/depression. I was glad to get out of first trimester and move past the food issues! Also, www.babycenter.com has a week by week "what's happening" and lots of good videos and articles that don't scare you. So that is something you ladies can look at if you are interested.

I am excited to hear about everyone's upcoming ultrasounds! I just had my 30 week appointment and now go every 2 weeks. All is still well. I found out I will have another growth scan at my 34 week appointment. Because of my body shape and the way I am carrying the baby, fundal height is not an accurate measure of baby growth for me (although I read that it is terribly inaccurate in general! So I have no idea why it's still used...). Also, I am going to get a belly band....starting to have some back aches at the end of the day.

Anyone have anything planned for the weekend?
 
I do! My friend is coming in from Indiana and we're going to the renaissance faire on Saturday. Should be fun!
 
It's my birthday weekend so I hope DH has something fun planned. Plus we have our private 3d/4d scan on Saturday that I'm very excited about.
 
happy birthday! We have several things this weekend, a picnic, Christmas in July Party and a friend's birthday party. I don't know that I can do it all! I might have to pick and choose!
 
Happy birthday!
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I have almost no plans. Trying to finish up decorating the nursery. DH had the week off so he cleaned the room out, painted and put in the crib and dresser this week. Now I just have to put up the decorations we already have and figure out what to do with the things that people have already bought or given us. But I'm happy it's starting to get there. According to my phone app, I am officially in the third trimester today. That is not all that exciting, but I don't have another appt or anything baby related until August 12 so I will take whatever funness I can get.
 
Have my scan in a couple of hours and I'm absolutely petrified, didn't sleep a wink. Wish me luck ladies!
 
Had my scan and all looks good, pickle was wiggling around and heart was going nicely. Got stroppy at one point when the sonographer pushed down hard and curled up and kicked out with both legs lol, was just the best and most unbelievable sight ever to watch him/her on the screen
 
That is absolutely fabulous ladders!!!!! I'm so happy you got to see the little one and they were doing well. It really is a huge relief every time you see them and can watch them wriggle around.
 
Had my scan this weekend. Here's a pic of my adorable baby girl.
