Ladies...It's finally here, Our October 2010 forum. How far along is everyone, when is your due date. Any symptoms yet?

I am an emotional wreck when I'm pregnant. My husband and I usually have the biggest arguements ever ever time I'm pregnant. Usually in the 4th month. So we'll see what April/May has in store. lol

Yeah lasts time they were with me the entire time.  I didn't feel like myself till I was about 6 months.  I was breastfeeding and had some issues, so there was a lot of stress, at 6 months post pregnancy I was officially done and feeling much better.

Since my dr's apt yesterday I've felt a little better, but still freaked out.  The morning sickness is yucky, in two days I lost 1 lb, I can't eat till lunch, and even that I can only eat a little.  I'm trying to find warm things to drink that will help me not loose too much weight.  I read chicken broth is a good one.  I'm going to try to have at least one hot chocolate a day in hopes that helps.  I'm trying SO hard not to gain or loose too much weight, it kinda freaked me out when I got on the scale last night and I was down a full lb from two days before.  My pants are also really loose.  With every pregnancy I've had to buy a pair of pants after loosing weight, I'm hoping I won't need to before I move into maternity pants.

I get claustrophobic sometimes, but since having DS I've started to get over it because he's ALWAYS invading my personal space.

I've been super biatchy laterly too! I am taking an evening class and it goes from 5 to 9 and anytime anyone even whispers too loud while the instructor is talking I almost blow up I get so irritated. It's really weird cuz I usually don't mind as long as I can still hear the professor talking, but man I have a short temper lately. I felt really sick yesterday and the day before so I think my symptoms are there.

After the first sonogram I'm all paranoid. My HCG was at 5587 the day before the scan and I got a BFP 3 weeks before that.

On Friday 1/29 my HCG was 74
Monday 2/1 it was 302
Wednesday 2/3  it was 792
THEN six days later it was 5587.

In the beginning it was going up REALLY REALLY fast, but if it kept going up the same it should have been about 6400 at least. I know you're not supposed to look too far into the HCG numbers as long as they are doubling at least every 72 hours, but I'm so worried my baby will stop developing. The thought of that makes me cry. I feel like things are going smoothly, but gosh I can't stop worrying at all. I can't wait till the 25th for the next sono but I am still freaking out. I don't know if I'll be able to look at the screen when they do it.

I can tell it's going to be a long day today. Since yesterday my mind can't stop worrying that something is wrong.

stop worrying so much!! Your levels are rising, you're young, and your baby will more than likely be just fine! Stress can do worlds of damage to a developing fetus, so best thing to do is enjoy the fact that you're pregnant, and try not to think about it too much. There's nothing you can do if your body decides that the baby isn't ready for the world... so just hope for the best, because that' probably what's going to happen!! Miscarriages while they are common, healthy pregnancies are much more common. Stop stressing! Why are you concerned?? Have you had any miscarriages in the past? If so, I understand your worries.

szw2008 - Your numbers are great!  Try to relax since they are going up.  Just because they went up really fast in the beginning doesn't mean they need to continue going up just as fast.

I just got the call about my numbers, they were 10,486, the lady that called said that you can't tell how far along I was, but that it did fall right at the range of where I am, so that's all that matters!  I'm glad I got the numbers, but I think I'm trying to read into them too much, I wish I could pinpoint my due date better, I know it's off a little.  I guess i need to wait till March 3rd to figure that out.
