How is it really October already?? What's up this week ladies?
The nesting desire hit really bad today. The only problem is I can't do much about it since we don't get our first batch of household stuff delivered until Friday. I spent the morning walking around the house verbally telling H where I wanted everything when it shows up. I think I was driving him crazy.
I apparently had a couple contractions during my NST the other day. I had no idea til the nurse read it and asked if I felt them. Makes me wonder how many others I've been having and have been oblivious to. I've got an appt with the dietician here tomorrow, just make sure my numbers and everything are looking good since I've not been seen for those in a month. That's all for this week though appt wise.
4w4d today, and I'm had my first official freakout.
TMI alert: Last night when I inserted my progesterone, there was a little spotting on the applicator, which has happened once before and I didn't really freak about. Well, this morning there was a dark spot on the pad and I WIGGED. So far, it was just brown when I wiped, and it stopped and so far nothing with today's pill. Ugh, this anxiety is no fun!
G22, I had the same thing w/contractions -- I was just being monitored overnight before induction and she was like "how is your pain with that last contraction?" Uhm, wut? I had been having them for a couple of days and thought they were hot flashes.
6w1d today. Have my first ultrasound tomorrow and I am soooo nervous. I have no symptoms and everything I read is all "you are probably experiencing morning sickness by now" and "your boobs are probably really sore" and "you probably have food aversions". Yep, none of that. So it makes me nervous that there's nothing going on in there. And even better, DH is out of town until Thursday, so he can't even go with me. I'm going to be a wreck tomorrow.
I also need to talk to my RE about doing my PIO and delestrogen shots this week. DH does them for me and I don't think I can do them myself. I can go into the office tomorrow (obviously) and Wednesday to get the shots, but I'm wondering if I can just stick to my suppositories on Tues and Thursday. Shots in my belly were no big deal. These IM ones are a different story.
kellikans I barely had any symptoms this pregnancy. The only ones I really had were from the progesterone. At 6w I had like 2 days of feeling yucky but that was it. FX you have the same and the u/s tomorrow is great!
kellikans, my boobs never got sore and nausea didn't start until 7 weeks, IIRC. I know it is easier said than done, but try not to worry. We are all different and it really does mean nothing.

I've had contractions for 2 weeks. Most of them are painless and I've been told they are still just Braxton Hicks. So demotivating.
I feel like my body is that old woman in that commercial pasting pictures on her wall and my mind is the other old woman saying, "you are doing this all wrong." None of it means anything.

Ugh that is so frustrating. I was scared and so NOT ready when I had ds. Being ready and waiting is something I never had to do, for better or worse.
Dh and I booked a 4 day trip to NYC before my bfp. My RE made it clear that he "strongly prefers pregnant patients stay in town the first 7 weeks".
We went anyway bc we had non refundable hotel and show tickets. I feel okay with our decision bc staying in town wouldn't change anything. Also, it's too early for an us, and I'll be back by my next beta.
With the pregnancy I had back in May-July, I had all kinds of symptoms. This pregnancy has brought none so far. Dh says that my boobs probably aren't sore bc they did so much changing just a few months ago, and we got pregnant again fairly quickly considering our circumstances. I'm trying to have patience and trust in this process.
shanwalk - that seems silly to stay home until 7 weeks. There's not much they can do if something goes wrong at that point! Also you're in NYC not a 3rd world country ;-)
9w6d for me... can't believe I'm hitting double digits tomorrow! Just hanging tight until Oct 20th and trying not to stress about things i can't change (my crappy old eggs).
I've also got my first ultrasound tomorrow, I'll only be 5w3d but we are leaving town for a few weeks tomorrow night so they're going to do it a little earlier than normal. All they're really looking for is a uterine pregnancy since I've had an ectopic before. I'm strangely optimistic about this pregnancy, whereas the last one which turned out to be ectopic I had a bad feeling about from the start.
I have noticed my boobs are fuller and I feel bloated in the evenings but otherwise I have no symptoms. I also had no morning sickness with any of my other pregnancies (1 mmc, 1 successful, 1 ectopic). But I've had friends who weren't sick at all for one pregnancy and super sick for the next which they thought meant opposite gender and that wasn't even the case.

I am totally rethinking hosting Christmas for my extended family at 37 weeks and TG for my own at 35.5 weeks. Yesterday we went to the grocery store where I overheated or something and then I was miserable the rest of the day. DH ended up doing most of the cooking. I hate feeling like I can only do one thing a day. Today I did some cooking and cleaning in the kitchen and after 90 min I was DONE. I'm still have lots of BH in the afternoon / evening. I hope my doctor says this means no more work travel . Hales, early spotting is so scary!! Totally normal but not in any way fun. I hope it stops. Muddled I hope things happen soon! shanwalk we went to the beach my 5th week. The nausea was tough but it was nice to spend the wait for the first ultrasound away!

Funny you mention hot flashes, because I get those a lot more all of a sudden. Now I wonder if there's a correlation.
My anatomy scan is this week. I can't believe I am already 20 weeks. This pregnancy is flying by.
I hit up a kids consignment this weekend and hit the motherload. TONS of stuff for DS and soon-to-be-DD. My best find was a LL Bean down winter coat for DS, only $10!
Hi. 10 weeks tomorrow. (Jess, I was just telling H today about the double digits thing too!). Never made it this far before. Thursday was our first OB ultrasound and baby looks like a baby! It jumped and waved too and we were totally shocked.
I still don't know how to be a normal pregnant...I was so surprised that it was an abdominal u/s. The tech dimmed the lights and pulled the curtain but stayed on the inside part with us. I was thinking, "is she gonna just stand here while I drop my tights and unders??" Then she said "hop on up and lay back". Doh! I am way too used to the dildo cam. Lol.
I've been having lots of nausea for a few weeks now but finally actually puked for the first time on Friday. At work. In a restroom that's not very soundproof and I'm a loud barfer. Oops.
Boiler, I think being 37 weeks pregnant is about the best excuse to not host a big (or any size really) Christmas gathering. Take it easy, lady. I don't think I would even commit to attending anything at that point. Then again, I'm super lazy to begin with and like to keep my options open. Lol.
GL tomorrow kellikans. I hope you have a great appointment. Don't worry about the no symptoms. I had none with DD and nothing until 8 weeks this time.
I hope you have a great appointment too dellabear.
I hope your anatomy scan goes well KB and that's awesome about your consignment finds!
I don't have much this week. I'm supposed to be out at a golf tournament all day tomorrow but I'm really hoping it gets postponed due to all the rain we've had this weekend. I just don't care for the one girl I'll be out there with. On top of that it would put me behind at work and I have to make sure I'm in a good spot come Friday since I'll be in Salt Lake City for a training class all next week.
37 weeks, for pre-eclampsia (I SHOULD have been ready, lol. I just wasn't. Denial, I think.)
I was in no way ready at 37 weeks. Heck, I'm not entirely ready now.
Haha that's what my dr said.I was half arguing with her and half just coming to terms, and she was like, "no one is ever ready. But you really need to go to the hospital, like now."
Good thoughts for you for tomorrow, kellikans! Seriously, don't worry about symptoms. It took me a long time last time, and even now at 8w, I just have a little nausea if my stomach is empty.
GL for tomorrow too, dellabear! I'm glad you're feeling confident.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
I'm tired in advance of the next two weeks. I'll be OOT for back to back conferences that happen to be in the same city, but H is meeting me in the middle for a weekend vacation. I'm worried about getting sick, and the six presentations I have. Ahhhh, stress.

21 weeks!! Dw is feeling movement everyday now which is cool. Can't wait until I can feel it too. Nothing exciting for us this week. I hate being normal pregnant ...I feel neglected.
I am going to be anxious from now until we hit 30 weeks (when I delivered dd). I feel like I finally shook the stress of pregnancy after a mc and slid right into anxiety from pregnancy after a preemie. Doesn't help that Dw is at a greater risk for pre eclampsia/hellp syndrome due to her pre existing hypertension. Argh.
I am also starting to think that I need to start picking up some winter items for the baby. I have a feeling that by the time February arrives all the winter stuff will be out of the stores and winter here will be still going until late March with cold weather in and out in April.
