Monday Updates on *Labor Day*

[Jem75]

For those in the US - happy Labor day. I am approaching my 12 week mark this week - and have my big appt on WED (nerves, anxiety, excited). Still feeling overall good - but please tell me I am normal - some moments I totally feel pregnant - and then some times (usually when I wake up) - I am not sure how pregnant I feel. I have felt this way all along - but thought by almost 12 weeks, I would feel much more so. My breasts are big and tender (which varies throughout the day) -- headaches off and on, and one day this week had severe nausea (did not throw up though). I wish there was some persistent sign that was always flashing over my head saying "don't worry - you may not know it but things are progressing". Every day I feel some tightening or stretching - usually along my bikini line. Some days my belly feels way more bloated then others - and it varies throughout the day.

Still tired - but not ravenously hungry.

I've had ultrasounds every week up to now - all seems to progress - so why do I suddenly feel like I am not so pregnant today? Am I alone in this?

This is my Tuesday update..ha! I fell behind during the holiday.

EDD March 8-10th
Week 13 1/2

Nauseas off and on. Eating more. Gaining weight where my clothes are getting tighter. Indigestion...Incredibly constipated.

I am going to an acupuncturist next week to hopefully help with some of the nausea. Never tried it before but I will try anything! I will let you gals know how it goes...

EDD March 21st
11w3d

We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time today!! I was so excited, and the doctor was able to find it immediatley, so the baby was being very cooperative :). Still sick most mornings, usually only during the week when I can't lay around in bed and be lazy. Normal tiredness, bloating, constipation....

Hope everything is going well for the rest of you ladies :)

Yesterday was also labour day here in Canada!

As of today i am 11 weeks pregnant with a edd of march 24.

I feel great!!! The brown discharge as finally stopped and my dr had me back of friday to hear the heartbeat so i could relax for the long weekend. She also gave me antibioditics as a precaution as we both felt i had BV but the swabs came back negative

EDD: March 1st

I am in my 14th week now and am beginning to actually look pregnant as opposed to bloated and gaining weight (at least that is what I felt like 3 weeks ago!!)  This is terrible but, my husband and I were laughing today because kidding around I tried "sucking in" and I can't do it anymore!  My lower belly just won't retreat :)

I go in for my 14 week appt. this week... still super nervous as I lost one pregnancy at 15 weeks.  But, I think that this pregnancy is going to work out.  I am with Jem75... still get nervous, as opposed to excited, for those appts!  I see my OB every 2 weeks until she and I feel comfortable with me being seen every 4 weeks... which I think will be soon!

Edd is april,1rst (april fools day ;). I feel the same exact way, nauseus some days, but I'm not showing, my boobs are a little swollen and sore but not to much (as w/ my son). And very tired some days and not so tired the next , no headaches though just dizziness. I think my mind is playing tricks on me, some days I see the little tummy and some days it disappears hahah. :)
