newly pregnants

Am I forgetting anyone??

How are you ladies feeling? EDDs?

[Deleted]

Feeling crappy.

Drinking lots of ginger ale, eating a lot of saltines.

EDD according to RE is 9/3 but it should be 9/2.

1st OB appointment is on the 21st.

How are you feeling?

[jewel]

Feeling good! I'm a little tired and queasy, but so far feeling much better than I did with my first pregnancy. Still worried that this one will end up like the last, but my maniac testing has gone down to every other day

EDD is Sept 5th. I have a final beta tomorrow, and an ultrasound on Friday. I think the RE will move me on to the OB after they see the heartbeat, which is bittersweet.

FastHands - you?

[FastHands]

jewel Glad things are going well so far! You're in my thoughts! (Especially when I do my makeup and use the stuff you got me. )

I'm good. A little tired and queasy, but I'm still eating as normal etc. My only real issue so far is BP, which I expected since I have low BP normally. I checked it the other day and it was 101/52. Eesh. So I need to stay on top of salt and hydration. Otherwise all is well!

We're almost EDD twins -- Sept 7

Sorry you're feeling crummy. Hope you get through it quickly!

Congrats again to all you ladies!! I'm excited this place might start to pick up more (and obvs I hope it picks up tons more in the future as we get more graduates)! I don't quite relate to anything on GotP...

Agreed! It's hard for me to relate to most things on the GotP board, so let's get this going

Great to hear you're getting good use of all of that stuff. I am so obsessed with make-up/skin care samples.

Oh, I'm so so happy for all you girls. Congrats!!!
I didn't join the GotP board until I had my 12-week-scan. Being further along makes hanging out there much better

So so so happy for you!!! Yay for TTTC babies!!!

It took me well into 2nd trimester to start to feel comfortable posting over there.  Seeing more action over here would be great.  

Congratulations to all the new BFPs!

It took me a while to get comfortable posting over there too. My first trimester was spent in so much fear that something was going to happen and I would lose this pregnancy so it was hard for me to get involved in anything baby related. Now that I am almost in my 3rd tri (tuesday, yikes!) I find that board to be helpful for a clueless first time mom.

kershnic do you have a c-section scheduled or are you planning to deliver vaginally? I can't believe we will have outside babies in 3 months! 

[FastHands]

I tried to jump in over there, but I just feel ridiculous. That's what made me post here.

I'm doing great!! 13w1d and had my NT scan last week and everything looks normal. I'm feeling much better than those early weeks, except my boobs are still KILLING me, lol.

[andthentherewere10]

It was so weird when I got my BFP - something I wanted so badly and then it sent me into a depression because I was sure it was going to be taken away from me. Finally feeling confident sitting here at 23 weeks. Congratulations to all of you guys and can't wait to see how your pregnancy progresses.

I got my BFP not long after or right as this sub-board was created and there just weren't enough of us around initially. I am so excited to see more grads and hopefully this board gets more active! 

[dana2006]

So glad to see everyone here! Thanks Fasty for starting this thread. I'm 11w4d. I've been really lucky in that all my symptoms have been mild, except for a monster appetite, lol. My next appointment is at 13 wks with a doppler.

I'm 26w6d. For a twin pregnancy everything is going really well so far, but I am still ssooo anxious about anything happening. Thanks!

[ecinereb]

Welcome to all of you. It'll be nice to get more traffic over here.
Hope everyone continues to do well.

I totally agree about gradually coming to realize it might actually stick.... but I still worry so much about stillbirth and other horrible complications.

My OB has said that if both babies are head down she would be happy to let me go vaginally, otherwise it will be a c-section. So far they've been positioned differently at every ultrasound so there's really no way to know yet. What are your hopes?

Since I have a singleton I definitely want to avoid a c-section. However, as a nurse I know too many of the complications that can lead to emergent c-sections and I will do whatever I have to to get my baby here healthy and safe.

I love this thread! I didn't realize there were so many pregnants around here!

[anna7602]

Can i join? (Miracle butternut squash soup pregnancy after 18 months TTC, if no one remembers.) I'm 10w,6d, EDD 7/30/14. Just had an u/s yesterday and everything looked awesome. I will relax a lot more after the results of all my super-old-mama tests come back in the next couple of weeks.

I've been feeling okay, just tired and kind of constantly car sick (but no puking). I'm showing already, which is kind of fun, but also makes me feel like I'm going to be outed before I feel ready to tell lots of people.

[jewel]

If anyone else is hanging around here and pregnant, you need to check in!

[picksthemusic]

Checking in... pregnant after two losses. I'm 7w6d today, and I have my first OB appointment today! We'll be looking to see if baby is there and healthy, so I'm of course terrified that we'll have bad news like we did last time. I'm having many, many more pregnancy symptoms than I did last time, though, so that's somewhat comforting.

I'll post later to let you ladies know how things went.
